Henry Tims and Ed wanl Ilau are both having corn cribs constructed on their farms for use in housing the coding season's crop. This is the sort of foresight th:t pays big dividends,"" especially in the farming business. J.

The vandals who looted, cars and other vehicles during the show a fortnight ago, could not even k-'ep their hands off some baby clothes that had been left in a car.

Attended Elmwood Meeting ' Many of the people of Murdock, in the Fpirit of neiphborliness, so characteristic of theni, attended the irass meeting held at Elmwood one evening last week in the interest of the Inter-Church World Movement. The meeting was one of much inter est and awakened the people to more active efforts on behalf of the work. There were also some from Ithaca in ' attendance at the meeting. Among .those to go from here were many ' members of the church here, as well as from the Louisville and Callahan churches just out of town. Chintz papers. Tapestry and plain colors for beautiful combinations are part of our fine wall paper stocks. Let us show- you how to make up such combinations. Max Dusterhoff. Will Launch the Boat Soon Forty-three was the exact number of iish that Lacey McDonald and his brother. Pryan, who with A. J. Pauer and Harry Gillespie were fishing at t lie Platte river one day last week, had to their credit after an hour or :o with the rod and line. Still the Mt. Olympus has not et len launched and it looks like high time to get the craft into the .vater. Probably the owners are wait inp, for Castor and Pollox to come into conjunction with Mars or Jupiter before they perform such a pr'.miLnent undertaking in the history of sports in and near the Platte river. he was fixing up this place and ex pected to sell it again. Mr. Fuller had told some of us when we asked him what he was going to do with the place that he was going to get married. "But we knew that he is a jolly good fellow and likes a joke as well as anyone, so we let this go in one ear and out the other. The lat ter part of the week, however, he returned and sure enough he was married and brought his wife home with him. They were married in Omaha on Wednesday of last week, the home of Mrs. Fuller, who was formerly Mrs. Catherine Logan. Mr. Fuller has been in business in Elm wood now going on his third year, having purchased the Burke & Bed son store, and has an excellent busi ness and now that he has purchased a home and has fixed it up in tip-top shape and has gotten married we are quite sure that he will continue bus iness in Elmwood for many years to come. He is a good merchant and an excellent fellow and all are glad to see him add to the improvement and interest of our town. I LOUISVILLE ! Courier i i. i : . i. i .. .,.i. 'I i .

Tool, president of the P.ank of Murdock and Louis Hornbeck, as sistant agent at the Pock Island sta tion, harnessed the Overland into ! .service last Friday and having pro ', vided the proper accoutrements fr I playing with the tinny tribe, depart ed for Meadow, where they fished and ate of the provender they were thoughtful enough 1o take along. As a financial proposition the trip was . ot such a great success, but the rose '.olor added to the cheeks and the insurance of better health cannot be 'ieaMired in terms of money, so we are safe in saying the trip was far from being a failure. afraid to work. on Lin-wOlii Cars Emil Kuehn. of Lincoln. was a visitor in Murdock the fore part of last week, bringing down a car to j have an "all-weather" body placed on it by the enterprising firm o; i Win. Gehrts. He left tha car and .came back the latter part of the week, when it had been completed, to drive it home. With the change. Mr. Kuehn now has a car convenient , for year around equipment, without entailing nearly as much as the cost ! of a n'ew car. Mr. Gehrts and his corps of workmen are able to trans- iorm a used car into a new one. sii far as service and looks are concerned. You can get floor wax at all times f Max Dusterhoff. tf. -i.

Wake of ls Show Not attributing any Maine to the management of the- aggregation that showed in Murdock a fortnight ago. we may say that many things hap pened which were not on the pro gram and which were not intended I to be allowed. During the time when ; interest in the performance was at j greatest height, and while the peo ple were busily engaged in looking 'at tho "animals," some one turne-d a team loose that had boon driven by a couple from Alvo. leaving the young folks to get home as best they could. Either the same party, or others appropriated three over coats and an auto robe that had been thoughtlessly left unprotected in the cars. A few special pedieo at a time like this would not come in amiss. Gave Easter Program On account of the bad weather of Easter day, the program that had been prepared by the "Mission band'' and little folks of the Sunday school, lor rendition that day, was postpon ed until last week when it was given and listened to by a large and en thusiastic crowd of people. The pro gram was very pleasing, telling in play the story of the need of work by the missionary band and enthus ing people to do their best for the cause for which the little folks are banded together. I ELMWOOD ! Lea (1 c r- Ec h o . A'V "oW o Mr. ami Mrs. A. A. Wallinger are now residents ef Elmwood and are occupying the Al Weichel house. We will have to see that Al is kept busy now and were wondering just what he would branch eiut in. We are sorry to report that Adolph itoesenkeietter has been on the sick list again. Adolph has been having ;uiU; a time and quite enough of it for one man. On Monday the fine ten horse power Fairbanks-Morse eil engine ar rived for the new city well. The pump jack and equipment is alf here and it will he installed just as soon as the new addition is built to the pumping plant. Last week Homer Metzeloff captur ed five young coyotes. The little fel lows were found in a hole under the reots of a large tree. The nest was discovered by seeing the two old wolves going back and forth to their yening. The young wolves were about two weeks old. Mrs. Pert McNamee. ef Omaha, made a flying trip to Elmwood. visit ing over Saturday evening, returning to Wenping Water Sunday morning to get her little daughter. Dailene, who has been visiting her grandpar ents, Mr. and Mrs. Win. Deles Der nier fer the past two weeks. A short time age) we mentioned the fact that Spence Beigenrief made a large shipment ef Carneaux pigeons and last week he made another ship ment eif these piaeons amounting to about $3S. This makes about $76 worth in one month.. These squabs are mighty fine eating and are serv el in the big restaurants at fancy j prices. ispence is increasing ins stticK ngni aiong anu nas a iniucn ef pigeons he can be prouel of. Several elays last week we missed tiur genial merchant and fellow citi zen. I. J. Fuller. Of course we began to wonder right away what had be come eif him. We were curious for we knew he had bought a home and had been taking considerable pains in fixing it up. Many thought that Ernest Pautsch is having his cel lar excavateel and made larger to make room for a furnace which he will i nt all this summer. Mr. Pautsch has ejne of the finest homes in town in the north part ef town, and with a furnace the family will surely en joy much comfort next winter when the thermometer is blow zero. Henry Wegener and sisters. Misses Minnie anel Edith, drove te Chalce, Sunday, to visit their brother-in-law and sister, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Wen dell and to see the little new niece who arrived at the Wendell home on Tuesday. April 27th, 1020. The friends in this vicinity extend con gratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Wen dell. F. W. Schliefert dug out a half dozen young coyotes fremi a hole in the ground enit Vm Lawrence Twiss' place Sunday. The little fellows did iu)t have their eyes ejpen but Fred realizeel that they would soon greiw into first-class chicken thieves and he exterminated them. He will take their pelts to the cemnty seat and claim a bounty on theni. The moth er wolf escaped. Hubert Fosbrrg, the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Fosberg. living till the Palmer farm south ef town, had the misfortune to fall off a disc last Saturday and sprain his ankle, which has laid him up t)r a few elays. He is experienced in handling luuses and in all farm work but accidents will happen, and he was lucky to es cape; with no more serienis injuries and he will soon be all right again. The hospitable home of Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Stohlman was again the scene of a happy gathering em Wednesday evening of last week. April 2Sth, when a large number of friends and relatives gathered to give Mr. Stohlman a surprise party in hemor of his 54th birthday anni versary. The guests arrived early in the evening laden with baskets of lunch and Mr. Stohlman soon rallied from the surprise te welcome his friends and a merry evening was spent in music and games, while the supper which was served at a late hemr did honor to the ladies who prepared it. The manv friends of Mrs. Walter Plake will be pleased to learn that she is gaining daily and that she will be able to return home from the Clarkson hospital in Omaha the last of this week. Mrs. Blake recently underwent a serious operation for appendicitis, anel other troubles and has made splendiel progress and her family and frienels are assureel that she will undoubtedly enjoy better health than she has for years. Mrs. Margaret Ossenkop and her daugh ter. Miss Mabel, and Miss Vivian Blake, visited in Omaha over Sunday with Mrs. Blake at the Clarkson heispital. Mr. Blake makes frequent trips to Omaha to see his wife anel was. up last Friday and again last Monday so that there is not a day that Mrs. Blake has not seen some one from home. She reports that Miss Mattie Keiser, twin sister of Miss Nellie Keiser, daughters of Jacob Keiser, of Iuisville, is in the hospital, where she has been study ing to be a nurse, but she has found the work too strenuous and will not finish her course. She will remain at the hospital and have charge of the children's ward, but not in the capacity of trained nurse.
