The smile came back to the eleva tor men and to the farmers as well with the receiving of the market for grain last Monday afternoon, when it was announced that corn had shown an improvement of 4 cents and wheat 9 cents, this enabling the ship pers to pay 55 cents for the corn and all the way from $1.45 to $1.50 for wheat, according to the grade.

Charles Bordman, who has been preparing for the opening of a dairy for Union, had his cows tested last week and state inspector being here and out of the seventeen which he had, fifteen were in excellent condi tion. The remaining two have been separatde from the herd and will be butchered and the ones pronounced as in the best condition will be kept. His first day he disposed of 36 quarts of milk in Union and is a thing which the town has needed. It would be well of other towns were so favorab ly conditioned. He ships what he does not sell at this place and thereby has no loss when the herd produces more milk than the market here de mands. Manifest Some Enterprise. The ladies of the Methodist church are active and greatly interested in the matter of a bazaar which they have planned to give at the church in a short time.

The coming Sunday they will have services at the Methodist church In which many will take a part. They will devote the morning preaching hour to the program which will be given by the ladies of the Womans Christian Temperance union and in the evening speakers will be provided, and the entire day will be made most interesting for all who may choose to attend. The Epworth League will assume a portion of the days services. Are Offering Solid Bargains. Johnson Brothers, the general mer chants of Weeping Water, of 'whose ad will be found in this paper, are of fering some very attractive bargains. and of lines the most staple, and the best of goods at that. See the at tractive lists that they cfuote and at prices which cannot be duplicated elsewhere. These goods are all ser vicable and just in time for the cold weathr that is coming, as well as the list of groceries which is an advance step in the readjustment of prices from the high prices which have prevailed during the past few years. Unless you see and know of the real values which this firm is of fering, you are taking a direct loss in the goods you are needing. Bet ter take a look and save some money. This is the dollar bill sale and you have no idea how much the dollar will purchase. Union School Notes. j Miss Bogenrief's Room. J Lena Rakes is still out of school but is improving in health.

HOME GUARD FUNDS 60 TO THE LEGION Remaining Balance Vested in Officers' of Hugh Kearas Post for Use in Outfitting Eooms. From Tuesday's Dal'y. Ex-members of Plattsmouth Home Guard company No. 1 last night in called session to reconsider disposal of remaining funds on hand, voiced an expression of confidence in the officers and members of Hugh Kearns Post No. 5C, American Legion, when a motion carried without dissenting vote to turn the funds over to the Legion to be used in buying furnish ings and otherwise equipping their new club rooms in the Leonard building. Prior disposition of the funds had been made by the Guardsmen when they voted last June to give the money some $330 to the Legion to be applied on the purchase of a home. A tightning money market and prevailing high prices made this step inadvisable, however, and with the leasing of the present rooms, Ex-Commander C. A. Rawls consent ed to asain call the Guards in spec ial session to reconsider their form er action. In this connection it is pointed out that no lodge in the city at its inception or during the early years of its existance owned the building n which its meetings were held. Yet time has witnessed their growth and the acquisition of property hold- ngs of much value. A goodly number of Guardsmen responded to the call and were pres ent at the meeting held in American egion hall where opportunity was given them of observing first hand he needs of the Legion, as well as he improvements already under vzx. much of which are being done by the members themselves in order o hold expenses at a minimum. Following the vote to reconsider, L. G. Larson introduced a resolution providing that the committee hold- ng the funds in trust be instructed o place them at the disposal of the Legion officials, and after some dis cussion of the question, none of which came within the sense of op position, the vote was taken result- ng in unanimous approval. The Legion boys are very grate ful, both of the compliment paid heir ability to administer success fully the duties of keeping alive the organization, and of the gift itself, which will aid materially in the furtherance of their club room plans.
