At the service at 11 o'clock Sun
day morning. Air. Gregg occupied
t lie morning worship hour with his
b-cfure. "What is Religious Educa

tii- study of psychology has given
him a wonderful opportunity of
judgment of the religious spirit of
man and in his remarks lie gave
clearly ihe means by which the re

cultivated and made to grow Into

mary work. Air. Gregg the interme
diate work and Air. Bishop the best
methods of handling the adult classes

in the creating of greater interest in
all of the Sunday schools of the city.
As a feature of the morning ser
vice at the church, Aliss Dorothy
Grey. ,,f Omaha, gave a solo number
that was much enjoyed and afforded
a splendid opportunity for the sweet
voice of the young singer to be
heard.

MRS. GASTER WINS
CASE IN DIST. COURT
Jury Returns Verdict Against Wood
men of the World for $2,000,
in Favor of Widow.
The case of Airs. Annie Dollie
Caster against the Woodmen of the
World, which was on trial all day
Friday and Saturday in the district
court, was decided late Saturday
evening when the jury returned at I
10 o'clock with a verdict awarding)
to the plaintiff the sum of $2,000 on
an insurance policy carried by the
late Albert Caster, husband of the
plaintiff in the insurance society.
The jury also disposed of the niat-j
ter oi tne contest oi ine marriage or
Air. and Airs. Gaster, which had
been attacked by the mother of Air.
Gaster on the grotinds of the fact
that the first husband of Airs. Gasteri
was living at the time she was mar
ried, and for which purpose two w it
nesses testified they had seen Air.
Wittstruck on a train some four
years ago. but these statements fail
ed to impress the jury to any extent
owing to the length of time since the
parties were supposed to have seen
the man and the fact that they too
were interested in the case.
The case was one that was very
complicated, covering the different
questions involved and it required
several hours for the jury to arrive
at an agreement.
Airs. Gaster was represented by
Afatthew Goring or this city and the
W. O. W. by Frank II. Gaines, gen
eral attorney of the order.
This closes the jury cases for some
time as the jury has been excused
until April and will probably not be
required again this term.
MAY TAKE TRIP TO
FAR OFF SWEDEN
John H. Hallstrom of This City Con
templating Trip Back to Old
Home in Mother Land.
John II. Hallstrom of this city
who has not for the past thirty-five
years enjoyed a visit with his rel
atives or a glimpse of the old home
among the hills of far off Sweden,
is now contemplating a trip back
across the waters within the next
few months.
The father of Air. Hallstrom is still;
living in Sweden and is now in his (
late eighties and this is one of the.
prime objects of the visit that is be
ing planned is to visit with the aged
gentleman ere he shall have passed
on his journey. All of the relatives
of Air. and Airs. Hallstrom are resid
ing in Sweden with but one or two
exceptions and a visit there would
be one filled with much pleasure to
all members of the family.
If Air. Hallstrom decides definite
ly on the trip he will take the op
portunity of also visiting the conti
nent and looking over that part of
Europe where the great war was
fought.
WRITES AN INTERESTING
LETTER FROM GERMANY
Lester E. Vroman who is station
ed with the American army o' oc
cupation in Germany, has Just writ
ten to his friends here to inform
them that he is still on the job as a
soldier of Uncle Sam and enjoying
life as much as possible. He states
that their work there is very pleas
ant and the troops enjoy a great
deal of liberty when not engaged in
the routine of garrison life and trips
up the river Rhine and to the Ger
man cities afford them pleasant out
ings. He sends in a letter to C. E. Wes
cott's Sons, a number of the new
German paper marks and as is gen
erally the case with the European
paper money, they are printed on a
very light paper, which, of course,
soon becomes worn out from hand
ling. The marks in appearance are
not unlike the very familiar franc
with which the members of the A.
E. F. were wont to amuse themselves
by placing them as stakes in a game
of the Mississippi marbles and the
appearance of the francs after a
lively session of sevens and elevens
made the heart of the average
Frenchman ache and the madame at
the cafe was usually kept busy past
ing up the lacerated and wounded
franc notes.

THE PASSING OF A
NOBLE, UPRIGHT MAN
Clark Newlon, Well Known and Be
loved Resident of Weeping Water
Passes to His Final Reward
From Monday's Pally.
The city of Weeping Water and
tne surrounding community are
mourning today the passing of one
oi the most striking figures that
has resided in their community, that
of Clark Newlon, and who is known
throughout that portion of Ca.
county as one of nature's noblemen.
The death' of Air. Newlon occurred
at an early hour this morning follow
ing a sudden attack of heart trouble
last night and from which he never
recovered, passing from the scene of
his earthlv activities to his final re
ward in a very brief period of time.
To those who know him in hi
home, the life of this good man re
mains as an inspiration to which
they can look forward to and his
loving kindness has left him a place
in the hearts of the community that
no one else can ever hold. There
was never a troubled spirit or emp
ty hand that came in the pathway of
this splendid christian gentleman
that was not sent on its wav rejoic
ing and full of hope for better things
and his life covering a period of
sixty-one years was filled with love
for all mankind.
Air. Newlon came to Weeping Wa
ter some fifty years ago from Alon
mouth. Illinois, and has since made
his home in that community. He
entered the Baptist church at Wa
bash shortly after his arrival in Ne
braska, and continued a member of
that faith until his death, although
of late years he has attended the
Congregational church in his home
city and had expected to become a
member of that church at Easter.
He was a member of the Alasonic
fraternity and had risen to the thirty-second
degree in the order and was
also a member of the Shriners at Lin
coln, and the members of this order
will have charge of the services at
the grave tomorrow.
Air. Newlon was never married
and made his home with his un
married sister. Aliss. Catherine New
lon. "for the past years.
In his passing the community in
which he has lived has suffered the
loss c.f a gentleman whose place will
be hard to fill and only the softening
influences of tiine can lighten the
burden that is laid upon the rela
tives and friends.
The home at Weeping Water was
filled todiy by the host of friends
anxious to do some act of love for him
whose form is resting in the silent
sleep of death and to share with
those of the family the grief that
the parting has brought to all of
them.
The funeral services will be held
Tuesday at 2: CO from the late home
and will be conducted by Rev. Riley
of the Congregational church of
Weeping Water and Rev. W. A. Tay
lor of Fnion. an old friend of the
deceased.
CAR TAKEN BUT RETURNED
From .Monday's Dally.
Last evening the Ford car be
longing to Jess Elliott, was left park
ed in front of the I'armele theater
for a short time while members of
the family were attending the thea
ter and on their return to drive
home, lo and behold, the faithful
Ford had disappeared and no trace
could be found of the car. The mat
ter was reported to the authorities
and a search started to attempt to
locate the missing Ford, but without
success until this morning. Per
sons coming into the city reported
(hat a Ford had been abandoned
along the road near the Alercerville
school house and an investigation
disclosed it as the car belonging to
Air. Elliott, who hastened to the
scene nd brought the car back to
nis huine in this city.
Who took the car. however, re
mains a mystery and if it was car
i ied out as a joke, the' party doing
it was taking long chances on get
ting mixed up rather seriously with
the law and had they been caught
in possession of the Ford it might
have been hard to explain.

LOCAL VISITORS TO OMAHA
SHOW HAD A GOOD SCARE
A Nebraska City party of young
people who attended the Omaha au
tomobile show Thursday night and
returned by moonlight had a scare
when they drove past La Platte.
They had been told that road ban
dits were numerous and were rather
anxious to get over the Platte river
on that account. At La Platte they
saw a car. without lights, standing
alongside he road.' A man" stepped
out in the highway, waved his arms
in a menacing manner and the
driver of the Nebraska City machine
stepped on the brake and came to a
4tan(flMl. With their hearts al
most jumping out of their bodies the
young folks waited for the summons
to "stick 'em up", but it didn't
come. The stranger merely wanted
to borrow a match. His car was
one of the old-style varieties that use
a Presto-lite tank for illumination.
The Nebraska City young people gave
a sigh of relief, in unison, and the
stranger was presented with a whole
box of matches. Nebraska City

TIME OF NAM
ING NEW OFFI
CIALS AT HAND
NON-PARTISAN CAUCUS CALLED
FOR TOMORROW NIGHT TO
PICK CANDIDATES.
The time for selecting the new of
ficials of the city is fast drawing
near and to date there has been very
little interest shown in the matter
as far as the activities of the indi
vidual candidates are concerned. The
onlv candidate who has publiclv an
nounced for otlice is John Cory,
has yielded to the wishes of
friends and announced that he
who
hi. 9
is a
candidate for the office of mayor. If
other candidates have the bees buz
zing in their bonnets they are abb'
to keep the fact well covered up and
Hone have avowed themselves as
yet.
The call for a citizens' non-parti--an
convention on Wednesday even
ing at the court house gives promise
of developing something in the way
of a city ticket that may be able to
cover the needs oi all parties and
factions and provide a ticket for the
city that will assure a good business
like administration of the affairs of
the community.
The republican city convention
will be held this evening but may
await and see what Ihe citizens'
meeting may bring fofthin the way
of a city ticket. So far the demo
crats have made no call for their
city meeting and whether they will
hold a convention this year is a
matter of doubt, as there is an in
clination among the leaders of the
party to accept the nominees of the
citizens' caucus, rather than bring
about a reversion to partisan poli
tics in city affairs. In any event
there remain but very few days now
to ulace anyone in nomination.
The personal sacrifices that are
necessarily demanded of anyone run
ning for office are such that few men
care to make them and especially if
they are compelled to make an ac
tive campaign and contest for the
pesif roup.
One of the best things that ever
happened in Plattsmoulh will be the
getting away from partisan tickets
in the municipal election, and both
democrats and republicans should
join whole-heartedly in the move and
stand by the nominees of the city
convention tomorrow" night, whoever
they may be.

pany of National Guard.
The residents of Elm wood, who
luive been boosting the proposition
of having a company of the national
guard of ihe state located there, are
apparently on the way to have their
wishes gratified as the announcement
is made that a "One Pounder" com
pany has been stationed there and
that the recruiting for the company
has progressed very nicely to date.
The citizens of Elm wood recently
held a public meeting at which Adju
tant General Paul and Alajor Stein,
heads of the newly re-organized

pledged what assistance might be
possible tto make the new company
a success.
It is expected that the new com
pany will soon be recruited to its
full strength and ready for service
and the officers will then be select
ed and other steps toward active
drilling will be started.
The "one pounder" company is a
new departure in the formation of

Will the Farm Pay
a Profit?
: m
Farm profits for 1921 will be controlled
by just three elements: The weather, hard
work and good seed.
The first is fairly certain to be in your
favor. The second is yours to control, but
the third, good seed, is uncertain unless our
farmers make the most careful seed tests.
In past years seed testing has been look
ed upon as meaning better prices. This year
seed testing will largely determine farm
profits.
