(My Commission expires Mar. 25, 1926.) Sunday Base Ball. Considerable agitation has been made regarding the matter of play ing ball on Sunday. This is a mat ter in which the state took up the proposition and enacted a law which puts the matter up to the locality where the game is to be staged. The matters of playing or not play ing to be decided by the majority of the people constituting the city or precinct where the games are to be played. Why so much stress is placed upon ball when there are many places where craps are shot, much more to the detriment of the community, and the youth. While base ball is a noisy game and played as an out doors sport, are not saying that it should be played on Sunday, but it is sure not attended with the harmful results as the secret crap shooting. For at the game of ball all Is open and above board. Fishing Very Popular. The fishing grounds at and near Meadow, where there are some lakes that make a good fishing place, is be ing attended by large numbers of people. It is reported that on last Sunday from Omaha and other places surrounding, there were as many as five hundred people who had come with a rod and line for the pure sport of catching the foxy fish, and that they were all rewarded by a good catch. Thursday of this week, some dozen of the lover of this sport from Murdock and vicinity, went and were rewarded by a catch of 191, they be ing Messrs. I. G. Hornbeck, Lacey McDonald, E. W. Thimgan. John Gakemeier. Gust Gakemeier, Ralph Rager, J. E. McHugh. Chas. Rau, A. J. Bauers. Harry Gillespie. H. W. Tool and Ed Rau. With the poles and lines swishing through the air and this dozen young men intently watching their corks bobbing in the water, it would have been a sport to see them landing the sparklers, until with one hundred and ninety one, they thought they had enough sport for the day and returned home with their immense hatch. Twenty were given as a present to the wri ter for the Journal, and which we can testify made some excellent eat ing. Thanks boys for the kindness and the fish.

One Way to get Big Mileage Regularly 1 he importance of gasoline tcith a complete chain of boiling point fractions You wouldn't expect to light a green stick with a match. Yet some gasolines are like green sticks. They neither ignite quickly nor burn up completely because they lack sufficient low boiling-point fractions for kindling, and have too great a proportion of slow-burning elements. Straight distilled gasoline I 1 El a 1 I 3 ! 3 1 WW i 3 innnnnna BED CROWN GASOIINE nmm m uvajt t muni possesses the complete chain of boiling points which assures quick igni tion and practically instant, complete combustion. Every bit is converted into heat and power gives big ger mileage per gallon than slow-burning mixtures, or less carefully refined gaso line. Red Croun Gasoline has a com plete chain of boiling point fractions Red Crown Gasoline is straight distilled gasoline. It meets all specifications required by the United States Navy for motor gasoline. It has a complete chain of boiling-point fractions -low, medium and higher boiling-point fractions which, in right proportion, assure big power and big mileage. It ia uniform and dependable wher ever you buy it. Hotc to get better results at less cost The way to get mileage and power economically, to escape carbon troubles, to have a spry, quick-starting engine, is by per fect adjustment of the motor to the fuel used. This can only be secured by using gasoline that is UNIFORM gasoline you can get wherever you are gasoline that gives a lean, dry, powerful mixture under all weather conditions. Use Red Crown Gasoline. , Authorized Red Croun Dealers Everywhere Wherever you go you can al ways get Red Crown Gasoline from reliable, competent and obliging dealers. The gasoline and motor oils they sell make motor operation more economi cal and more dependable. They are glad to render the little courtesies which make motor ing pleasanter.

Friends Celebrate Silver Wedding Mr. and Mrs. Peter Lenhard were the victims of a pleasant surprise Saturday evening, when about io of their relatives, neighbors and friends drove up to their home and announced that they had come to help celebrate their silver wedding anni- versarv. The whole affair had been kept secret and was as complete a surprise as the guests could wish. A pleasant evening-was epent in visiting, music and games. A mock wedding was given after which they were showered with well wishes for many more years of happiness anil joy. At 12 o clock a tine luncheon was served and the table was graced by a larce cake beautifully decorated. The bride was asked to cut it anfk found it to be made of pasteboard.

The recent rains have insured a good crop of small grain, which has been a little behind, and which is now rapidly maturing. The corn also is making rapid strides. This is bringing much work in June. The best of machinery is needed for caring for the crops in this busy season. See us for what you are needing. We are able to care for your wants. Cultivators, or any corn working machinery, hay making machinery and what is needed for the harvest. Binders, harvesters, twine and all that is required to care for the harvest. We are handling gasoline and motor oils also. WEfl. GEMOTS, The Implement Man MURDOCK NEBRASKA Date Slightly Mixed When we stated in last week's Murdock news that the special elec tion for the purpose of voting on dissolution of the consolidated dis trict would be held on June 12th, we were slightly in error. It happens that June 12th. falls on Sunday, and of course everyone knows no election could be held on that day. What we should have said was June 11th Saturday from 7 to 10 o'clock p. m. The new plat seems agreeable to a large majority and there is little doubt but that the dissolution issue will be readily carried .at the forth coming election Saturday night. The holding of it during the evening hours will enable the farmers to get in to vote if they wish, which some couldn't do in the daytime as the busy season in farm work is fast ap proaching. The Move Produce Co. are now located in Plattsmouth, and are pay ing the highest market price for your produce, eggs and cream. They have been buying a great deal of produce and meeting with favor among the farmers. Your ad will carry punch if you write it as a plain "selling talk" in stead of trying to fuss it up with frills and exagerations. Are You Caring for the Cars? You know that the autos cost when you purchased them, are you caring for them in order that they will last? We are doing expert repairing what is reliable, and keep the cars from deteriating. Our supply of accessories and auto supplies is complete. See us for the best work and best cars. ED W. TnMGAN The Automobile Man MURDOCK NEBRASKA
