Q PJo Economy to Wait! Q
Your buildings are depreciating to a much greater
extent from lack of paint than any gain which can pos
sibly come thru waiting for lower prices of material and
labor. We have come clean on this readjustment busi
ness and our prices are as low in proportion as those
prevailing on farm products today.
The protection of your building (interior and ex
terior) by painting is a matter of great importance and
is your cheapest and best insurance. Then why wait
longer, when putting the matter off will cost you more
in depreciation than you can even hope to save?
Let Us Furnish You Estimates on the Cost of
Protecting Your Property.

last Sunday were diverted from the
regular channel, when the young
people, rendered the musical cantata.
"The Virgins and the Bride Groom."

credibly and the successful program
was highly complimented.
Better to Observe Rules
For some time there has been oc
casional losses of goods from the
Rock Island loading platform, while
employes at the station were absent
during the dinner or supper hour
Now and then it has been found that
parties expecting goods have gone to
the station alter them and not find
ing the agent there, have taken them
without the formality of signing a
receipt for them. Now, everyone is
aware that this is necessary, and it
would seem the best and safest way
to get your goods of the agent and
not just walk off with them. Under
these conditions he could know at
once if anything is stolen and make
haste in locating it.
Discuss School Matters
Pursuant to a call issued to all
citizens to meet and discuss their
views regarding school matters, a
large number gathered at the high
school building here a few days ago
to listen to and participate in the
various expressions as to how this
problem should be solved.
Many are not sure just what they
want done in this matter or how
to arrive at a solution of the ques
tion. A vote of thoe present on
the matter of dissolution of the dis
trict resulted 36 for to 17 against.
The snag in the way of dissolution
lies in the fact that there is no ap
parent leadership or proeram mapped
out to follow afterwards and this
is one of the requirements in a peti
tion for dissolution.
Murdock Lad Makes Good
Fred M. Cox. son of Mr. and Mrs.
S. M. Cox, who was born west of
Murdock some 35 years airo and is
well known to the people of this vi
cinity is climbing the ladder of suc
cess. It will be recalled that for a
time he engaged in the railroad bus
iness later givin it up for the auto
mobile game. He soon worked him
self up to a lucrative position with
a large Omaha auto firm, the duties
of which often called him to Los
Angeles, where he met dealers tip
and down the coast. On morning
about two years ago he found a tele
gram on his desk when he went to
work, offering him a position with
the Alberton Motor company, of Los
Angeles, which he promptly accept
ed and has since been with that con
cern as auditor. Local friends of the
young man are pleased to know of
his advancement.
Had Excellent Time
The Royal Neighbors Kensington
club met last Thursday afternoon at
the home of Mrs. Jess Landholm.
with Mrs. Harry Gillespie as assist
ant hostess. A most enjoyable time
was had as the ladies plied the busy
needles. Following the period of
work and sociability came the cli
max of the meeting in the form of
delightful refreshments served by
the two genial hostesses.
Fish Story Season
Fish story season is at hand. Be
hold this one. A. J. Tool with oth
ers went to Meadow on May 5th to
fish for the festive black bass. Not
having any luck they were about to
give up in despair when they per
ceived a school of fish eggs, with a
large black bass hovering over the
spot. They cast their line, but the
fish swam away. Mr. Tool, think
ing not to be fooled out of his catch,
made a snare of fine copper wire,
which he dropped into the water and
waited behind a tree for the return
of the fish. After a short wait, his
efforts were rewarded and he caught
the fish in the snare.. Here the fun
began. After a spirited struggle
lasting for some time, the wire broke
and the fish flopped back into the
water just as he was about to land
it. So much for this part of the
tale.
Again on May 11th the crowd went
again and while fishing near the
scene of Mr. Tool's experience, Jerry
McHugh landed a magnificent Mack
bass which had about eighteen inches
of fine copper wire wrapped around
its tail, evidently being the same fish
Mr. Tool had come so near to land
ing. When weighed, the fish tipped
the scales at five pounds and eleven
ounces. Come on your fishermen and
beat this if you can.
Redecorating Bank
Tho roof on the Bank of Murdock
has been repaired and placed in
non-leakable condition, since which
Max Dusterhoff and Joe Wutchinek
have been busy redecorating the in
terior. They have removed all the
paper from the inside, painted the
ceiling and will soon have the walls
covered with a beautiful combina
tion of paper, paint and burlap. The
burlap is a fine rich brown and ox
tends upward from the floor a dis
tance of some five or six feet. When
finished the room will present a
very pleasing appearance.
Pink Tea
The home of Mrs. Jerry McHugh
was open to a company of seven
ladies, the Misses O'HoJleran. Brau
chle, Laura and Mildred Bushnell,
Everett, Melvin and Adele Peters, on
last Tuesday evening at which time a
delicious tea was given by caudle
light. The decorations of the tea
room consisted of streamers of pink,
