is a fixture in this rustling little city,
and has purchased a home, which, is
krown' as the W. K. Jenkins buihi

their suppers they accumulated abcut
three hundi (jfiollars. and were aide
to secure the'remaining five hundred
freni W. G. JJoedeker, who very kind
ly sponsored the enterprise.
The return.; from the suppers
which have been given was $ 5 a 2 . 4
ard the expenses. $27:1, leaving
$303. 4 as the net result of their
work, and with the $500 furnished
by Mr. Boedeker were able to pay
the entire amount of the purchase
price. The association was incorporated
for $10.'000, in the shares of $5 each,
ard a large number were already
subscribed. The following officers
have Ik en selected for the coming
year: Mrs. G. M. Minford, presi
dent. Mrs. B. F. Brendel. vice pres
ident; Mrs. J. F. Brendel. secretary

building, but expect later to build
a more commodious one. and one
better suited to the purpose.

They Are Still Boys.
The bronzed and weather-hardened
men of Murray and near here
like some fun as well as doing work
every day. When Win. Seyboldt was
assisting in dressing the hoes for
himself and Dr. J. F. Brendel, he
thought how nice it would be to cut
off a pigs tail and slip it in the pock
et of Morton Bartlett. who is also
game to the core.
He was successful in his manuev
ers and the barber carried the pig
tail to Plattsmouth with him and
finding the south appendage of the
porker lingering in his pocket when
he went to extract a cigarette..
He then wrapped it up carefully
in a little box. then placed it in a
large shoe box and filled the remaind
er with paper and expressed tee tail
hack to Murray to Mr. Seyboldt,
which cost the jolly farmer 39 cents
including war tax, which he paid,
and on unwrapping the packing,
found that his pigtail had come home
to roost. At the time of this writing
the Joke is on Will, but where it will
lodge by next week, it is difficult to
tell.

There will be a meeting of the
Modem Woodman at their hall.

delegates to 'he
Community Club Held Meeting.-.
Those who attended the' meeting
of the community club last Thurs
day enjoyed a rare treat. Mr. Gaines
is a speaker cf exceptional ability,
in th..t he can keep his audience
highly entertained every .minute of
the time and still drive home the
point he is trying to make in such a
manner, it can be understood by
! the children as well as the older!
folks. We would con'ider it a plea
sure to have him again at some fu
ture time.
The pig club is coming along Tire
and a meeting will be called to get
the hoys of the club together siini
time in the roar future when plans
will he discussed and arrangements
made to get the work going.
The girls have not shown a much
interest in ihe baking club as should
be expected, but it is still open.
Hand your names to Lee Kniss
tary. We think possibly the
cooking at the waffle suppi
have discouraged some of the
! ladies, is the reason thev are a
! shy of the baking club.
All the reason girls, you should
get in the game fjr it shows what
can be accomplished. Also bear in
mind that every cook at the wafi'Te
MiPper wj a married man. and i:rs
probably been cooking the family
meals for ;i good many years. You
cO:i do a: w til. when you have the
experience. The men will gl; dly
give you th ".unefi tof their advance
and exprrii iK t- ar.d we are sine .Mr.
Spangler will give you his recipe
for waffles, when you become profi
cient enough to merit it.
