Q No 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.

Better Exercise Seme Care
There aye some people who have
been in the habit of leaving cream
cans at the depot when there Is no
one there and as a result some have
been stolen. Also the practice of
ccming and taking freight from
platfcrrn when there is no one there
does not allow the. agent a show to
know whether the right party has
gotten it or nor. You ;:re required
to receipt for gi.ods when you get
them, and get a receipt for them
when you are wanting to ship them.
Better be safe in this business matter.

Murdock Plays Plattsmouth.
Yesterday. Sunday afternoon, the
Murdock team and a number of the
lecal fans journeyed to the county
seat in autos. where they gave battle
with the Plattsmouth team, known
as "Barclay's Colts", and enjoyed a
very fine time. During the first por
tion of the game, there was no tal
lies made by either of the teams.
The game looked like it would he
pretty closely contested throughout.
During the fourth inning, by an in
cident or two. which was favorably
to the county seat team and against
the Murdock team, the Plattsmouth
teem secured three runs, but contin
ued to play very safe ball. During
the remainder of the game a pretty
good game was played by both teams,
but with the result that the Coirs at
the county seat secured three more
runs. However, it was a good game
and the boys from here had a fine
time.
Sure We Had Tire Trouble
Last week when we visited Mur
dock we had been having some tire
trouble during the day and on our ar
rival, drove into the garage of E. W.
Thimgan and inflated the troublesome
tire, with the result that the tube
exploded, on account of the high pres
sure in the tank from which we were
filling our tire. The report which
the blowout mad ewas sharp and like
a clap of thunder out of a clear sky.
In just eight seconds, the doorway
was darkened by more young Ameri
cans who had come to attend the
school play, than there were Greeks
at Thermopylae.
Will Be Better Prepared
J. H. Buck, the blacksmith, and
wife were in Lincoln one day last
week looking alter some business
matters and while there made the

OVERLAYS RYALS
Health Shattered by Service Over
seas, Ex-Soldier Says Tanlac
Has Restored Health.
"It was my mother who persuaded j
her advice it was certainly one of
the best things I ever did in my life,"
said Robert R. Ryals. ex-soldier re
siding at 11 4S West Seventh street,
Des Moines, Iowa.
"Ever since I returned from France
I have been in bad health. My stom

care to ever eat much and when I
did force down something it always
lay heavy on my stomach like lead.
It was often hard for me to keepj
anything down and there was a bit
ter taste in my mouth all the time.
"I. had sharp pains in my stomach
and my heart would palpitate till it
nearly cut off my breath and I felt
like I was choking. Dizzy spells of
ten came on me and I was bothered
a great deal with severe headaches.
I felt weak all day long and every
night I came home all fagged out.
"But it's" different now, for Tan
lac has simply made me over again.
My appetite has come hack and I can
eat anything I want and never have
a sign of indigestion afterwards. My
heart never bothers me any more
and I can breathe free and easy as
ever. Those dizzy spells have all
gone and I never hav a headache.
I believe I am in the best health I
ever enjoyed, and I don't see how
anybody could feel better than I do."

Played the Better Game.
In the ball game which was played
at Nehawka by the Murdock boys a
week ago. the game was nicely con
tested throughout and during the
earlier portion of the game looked
a sthough Murdock would be the
winner by odds, but a few errors in
the latter portion of the game al
lowed the Nehawka team to make
some gains and as the game stood in
the ballance ju.-t before the closing,
a successful play by Nehawka placed
the score at the close, ten for Nehaw
ka and nine for the Murdock boys.
Observed Decoration Day
The members of the Wabash Cem
etery Association composed of 'num
bers from Wabash. Murdock and the
surrounding country, have put the
cemetery in very excellent condition,
and oa, last Sunday observed the
beautiful practice of placing flowers
on the last resting places of loved
ones. Services were had at the cem
etery on Sunday afternoon, an ad
dress being made by the Rev. W. A.
Taylor of I'nion and who is also
pastor of the church at Wabash. A
large crowd from both town and the
country were in attendance at the
services.
School Play a Great Success.
The school play given by the Jun
ior class of the Murdock school which
was held last Thursday evening at
the Modern Woodmen Hall was in
every way what could be desired.
Teh evening was pleasant, with the
little too high a temperature for the
comfort, but the good -natured crowd
were willing to put up with tha'.
and at the hour for the beginning of
the play the house could contain no
more and many stood outside, not be
ing able to gain entrance The class
realized for the use of the school some
$3S. which showed in a .ense the
grateful appreciation of the patrons
for the work which the students are
doing.
The play which was "The New
Co-Ed", was one with many striking
situations and received the plaudits
of the people during the entire eve
ning. Miss Selma Schleifert, as the New
Co-Ed, carried her part to perfection
and was supported by Alma Orhler
king, as Madge Stevens. Letty's
friend. Miss Delia Orhlerking. a
Paoinled Beauty, names Estelie Doo
little, all three made much fun for
the hot, but happy crowd. Miss
Clara Rissman made an excellent
landlady and was kept busy looking
after the many- young ladies which
he supposed she had under her care.
School Play.
The position of three college chums
Hay. Rose and Grace, were taken
by the Misses Cora 'Rissman, Clara
Scheel and Mary Rush, they making
a merry crowd for the New Co-Ed,
and with whom she had an excellent
time during her time in school. Dick
Bradley, an athletic star, was cared
for by Richard Tool and in a manner
that left no doubt that he knew his
part and how t3 play it. Punch Doo
little, a brother of Estelie, wa3 one
of the amusing parts and was played
to a nicelty by Maurice McCrory.
Harold Luetchens, as a'drastic coach,
and which provided much fun, when
he impersonated Jim Young. Mar
Ion Schewe 6pilled the beans when it
come to fun, for he surely produced
it and was true to his character,
George Washington Watts, house por
ter. All in all the play was well
rendered, there being no mediocre
part played, and showed that all
those taking part has worked hard
and with good results. The faculty (
gets credit for much of the success as.
they gave much of their time and
labor to the production.
