Will Give Program and Debate
Making the services interesting is
a feature which in a way is solving
the church attendance in Murdock,
during the excessively warm weather.
,The Evangelical Association will
' have at their church on Sunday even
j ing a program which wll be inter
i sperced with musical numbers by the
j ladies quartette, the mixed -quartette
jand the male quartette, as well as
readings and addresses, by the law
members. The most interesting of
the themes will be the discussion, as
to the advisability cf the forward
movement. This will be participat
ed in by three members of the Mur
dock church and three members of
the Louisville church. The allirma-
tive will be supported by Mrs. Carl
Jkhlaphof. Mr. August Oehlerking
and Mr. Gust Huge.- all members of
the Louisville church, while the de
nial of the proposition will be main
tained by Mrs. Otto Miller,1 Herman
Schmidt and Leo Rikli, of the Mur
dock church. H. Bauer will be the
leader and- an excellent time is anti
Make Some Fine Catches,
That it takes a fisherman to r,et
the fish is sure. Lacey McDon?ld
went over to Meadow a short time
ago and landed a four and a half
pound member of the finny tribe and
Captain J. A. Bauer, though he
would not be out done, and so sl
lie3 forth and making a mistake
hooks one that weighed a pound less
instead of getting the larger one.
Then Lacey- went over to show jvst
how it was done and to get 'a larger
one. but when landed only weighed
three pounds. While not entirely
satisfied, they will hav.e to be con
tented until the fish get larger.
Town Board Takes Action.
At the regular meeting of the
town board of Murdock last week,
the matter of the automobile was
jakeh up and handled without
gloves, in a manner which looks like
it was intended hat safety of tUe
neople and especially those who can
not well care for themselves, will be
safeguarded. The laws and ordin
inces as regards to speed of traveling
as well as cut outs are adequate for
the suppression of those who do not
recognize the rights of others. The
members of the town board kindly
hut firmly admonish all to observe
the law and to drive with due regard
to the speed limits, to have all
lights burning as required, to keep to
he proper side of the street and to
urn at the intersections, as required
by the ordinances and regulations.
This action by the board is not for a
show of authority, but that the
-ights of the people may be main
tained and that thoso who would be
breakers of the law may also be
aved trouble and costs, for there is
low evinced a determination that the
'a-vs and ordinances shall be recog
nized and enforced.

DUSTERHOFF INTERIORS are frequently
SELECTED FOR
Church and

esidence
where the finest and most highly idealized type
of Interior Decorating is involved, as in some of
the finest churches and residences we have finish
ed in the state.
The preference for DUSTERHOFF INTER
IORS in such cases is due to the steadilv growing
conviction that DUSTERHOFF INTERIORS rep
resent the highest standards of interior decorating.
It is due also in grer.t measure to the feel
ing of security inspired by our policy
to do interior decorating of the fhust qual
ity only and of such de?ign and performance as
to provide an exceptionr.1 value in DESIGN and
DURABILITY beyond the most extreme require
