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. Wc have come clean on this readjustment busi
ness and our prices are as low in proportion as those
prevailing on farm products today.
Ilic 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?

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.
Entertained Kensington
The ladies of the Royal Neighbors
Kensington club were royally enter
tained by Mrs. J. Johansen at her
home last Thursday afternoon when
there were a large number of the
members present. The afternoon
was very profitably passed with the
work which the ladies have on hand
and a most pleasant sociable hour
which was climaxed by a very de
lightful luncheon which was served
by the accomplished hostess.

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.

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

right proportion, assure big

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

are glad to render the little
courtesies which make motor

June Brings Much Work!
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.

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.
