I J Nebraska DEPMR TMEMT Which Will Be the Line Pertinent to the installation- of the, electric light service In Mur dock, which Is assured at thi time, the question arises as to what route the line -will traverse from the junc tion, of the Louisville-Weeping Wa ter line, to Murdock. The shortest line 1.4 on the road north of Murdock and while this is true and many have evinced a desire for service, there are still more on the line south, but which as it is longer, will cost more to construct. With the competi tion strong the south line which tra verses the state highway, may win out by a little extra work. The amount of subscriptions at this time has not ent irely Justified the project in piloting the line to that road, but It is hoped by those now interested that others will be interested and that the line will be located on that road, but more work will have to be done and at once to insure the line tbtre. Will Open a Restaurant. Mr. A. Peters, the man who will have charge of the constructing of the new electric line into Murdock, on account of the absense of an eat ing house of a public nature, will open a restaurant, probably in the Fanners building, and will hire a couple of cooks, preferrably a man and wife, to care for it and will serve the meals to the workmen while the line is under construction.

Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Tool were in Lin-oln last Tuesday where they at tended the concert given by the great "Sousa'3 Band" an organibation of world renown, and who only give ex hibitions in the larger cities of the country.

Rusk last Tuesday afternoon, when they met in regular session to look after the business of the society and to enjoy the sociability of the occa sion.

Near the close of the afternoon the hostess provided a delicious luncheon which heightened the pleasure of the occasion. Many People Have Measles There seems to be an epidemic of measles that has been going the rounds of this vicinity during the past few weeks, but while many have been extremely sick the patients all seem to be getting along nicely at the present time. At the home of Ray Boldan, the entire family was sick at the same time, with the ex ception of Ray. Mrs. Boldan, who is not very rugged, had the worst siege with the malady, but is now on the road to recovery. Two of the child ren are still broken out.

He Is hopeful of having the street lights burning: in Murdock by the first of the vear. and savs he will endeavor to 'rush the construction so as to give them to our people tor a Christmas i present. Certainly no more pleasing I gift could be chosen for the majority of our citizens than these long- took . ed for electric lights.

WAR DECLAR ED ON HOME BREWED BEER INTERNAL REVENUE BUREAU CLAMPS LID ON SALE OF MALT AND HOPS. Washington. D. C, Nov. 12. The internal revenue bureau in formal statements today . confirmed reports that a crusade against home-brewing of alcoholic beverages is planned by the government's prohibition en forcement agencies. The bureau did not reveal, however, the means it proposed to employ in the campaign nor admit that it had approved pre liminary instructions by Prohibition Commissioner Kramer directing that sales of malt and hops be restricted to bankers and confectioners. "If malt extract, hops, isinglass. gelatine or other materials are sold or advertised for sale for use in the unlawful manufacture of intoxicat ing liquor," said a statement Issued tonight by Commissioner Williams of the internal reverue bureau, "it is the purpose of the bureau to pros ecute persons so offending. "The so-called home brew beer manufactured in the home for bev erage purposes, even though for the sole use of the family and bona fide guests is, under the bureau's con struction of the law. illegal, and the sale of materials for such manufac ture is likewise illegal." Mr. Kramer was still absent from the city tonight, and no authorita tive statement of the nature of such instructions as he has already is sued in the anti-home brew cam paign was obtainable. The state ment of the federal prohibition di rector of Ohio, however, that he had received instructions from Mr. Kramer to prevent sales of malt and hops except to bakers and to confec tioners has not been denied by the internal revenue bureau, although it is understood that Commissioner Williams has not as yet approved these specific orders. There was an apparent difference of opinion between officials of the bureau of internal revenue and Com missioner Kramer's staff of advisers as to the powers granted under the Volstead act with respect to prohib iting the sale of articles employed in the manufacture of beer at home. Commissioner Williams conferred during the day with aides familiar with the act, and this was followed by numerous other conferences in the bureau, the nature of which was not disclosed. PRESIDENT ISSUES THANKSGIVING CALL Retiring Chief of Nation Says Return of People to Peaceful Pursuits Abundant Cause for Gratitude Washington. Nov. 12. President Wilson issued his Thanksgiving proc lamation tonight, saying that "in plenty, .security and peace, our vir tuous and self-reliant people face the future," and setting aside Thursday, November 25, for the usual obser vances, he text follows: "The season approaches when it behooves us to turn from the dis tractions anil preoccupations of our daily life, that we may contemplate the mercies which have been vouch safed to us and render heartfelt and unfeigned thanks unto God for his manifold goodness. "This is an old observance of the American people, deeply imbedded in our thoughts and habits. The burdens and the stresses of life have their own insistence. "We have abundant cause for thanksgiving. The lessons of 'the war are rapidly healing. The great army of free men, which America sent to the defense of liberty, return ing to the grateful embrace of the nation, has resumed the useful pur suits of peace as simply and as promptly as it rushed to arms in obedience to the country's call. The equal justice of our laws has received steady vindication in the support of a law-abiding people against various and sinister attacks which have re flected only the baser agitations of war, now happily passing. "In plenty, security and peace, our virtuous and self-reliant people face the future, its duties and its appor tunities. May we have vision to dis cern our duties; the strength, both of hand and resolve, to discharge them, and the soundness of heart to realize that truest opportunities are those of service. "In a spirit, then, of devotion and stewardship we should give thanks in our hearts and dedicate ourselves to the service of God's merciful and loving purposes to his children. "Wherefore, I, Woodrow Wilson, president of the United Sljates of America, do hereby designate Thurs day, the twenty-fifth day of Novem ber next, as a day of thanksgiving and prayer, and I call upon my coun trymen to cease from their ordinary tasks and avocations upon that day. giving it up to the remembrance of God and his blessings and their duti ful and grateful acknowledgment."

HARDING'S PLAN IS CALLED CHILDISH By South American League Delegate , Now m Pans, Says Killing Pact is Dangerous. Paris, Nov. 12. Suggestions from the United States that the present league of nations should be super- seded by another world body are not ' likely to be met with approval by the assembly of the leagun at Ge-j neva, in the view of Ir. Mariano Cornejo, head of the Peruvian dele gation to tho assembly as expressed in an interview in L'Eclair todaj. Although President-elect Harding has spoken of the "decease" of the league, he might be mistaken. Dr. Cornejo said. To wish to kill a building organization, he continued, in order to create another appeared to him a dangerous and childish proceeding, even though the people of the United States may have voted rejection of the league plan. "The Peruvian and Bolivian gov ernments on November 1." he con tinued, "asked the league to exam ine the treaties Peru and Bolivia were forced to sign with Chile in 1SS3 and 1904. There is nothing in these requests which can wound Chile, a member of the league, since j these three countries naturally have: confidence in their respective rights and have-accepted the obligations of the pact contained in Article 19. (This article provides that the as sembly of the league "may, from time to time, advise the reconsidera tion by members of the league of treaties which have become inappli cable and the consideration of inter national conditions whose continu ance endanger the peace of the world.") "Nothing would prevent one or the other of them," he said, "from applying -this doctrine to the grave difference dividing them, which do-js not appear likely to be settled by any other peaceful method. 3 The TITAN J Keep in mind that we are handling the famous "TITAN" Tractor, and have a few on hand that we can deliver on short notice. CjfAsk us for a demonstration, or any thing pertaining to these tractors or the work they will do. WM. Murdock BEST Murdock, Neb. "We must hope that Chile will be the first to support with good grace the requests made on this question. However that may be, Peru and Bolivia have only in view the main tenance of South American peace. "The league of nations would do an inestimable service to the cause of justice in general by acting in a case so characteristic as this and ef fecting a settlement of these old scores." Referring to the question as to whether the league had the means to make Its decisions respected he said : "You will observe for the moment we only ask that the treaties in dis pute be studied, but an institution In which the governments of the principal powers are represented cannot lack the means of affirming its authorit." ONLY FOUR CEME TERIES IN FRANCE Suresnes, Romagne. Belleau Wood and Bony to Be Ptimanently Maintained. Washington.
