There is a general feeling that '

only a limited amount is available,
and at best it will be hard to provide
satisfactorily for the accommodation

are opposed to this and would build
an addition to the present school

a matter of conjecture, but we trust

some solution which will provide

A merciless judge is Father Time.
Before him the weak and the want
ing go to tta'e wall. Only the truth
can stand. For years the following
statement from a Plattsmouth resi

all tests.
Theo. Starkjohn, retired farmer.
Locust and 9th streets, Plattsmouth,
says: "For several years Doan's Kid
ney Pills have been used in our fam
ily for kidney troubles and backache,
and they have proven to be all that

back feels a little lame and my kid

I take Doans Kidney Pills for a

make exhibits at the Cass county
fair to be held in Weeping Water on
September 28, 29 and SOth. All ladies
of the community are urged to at
tend this meeting.
The Hotel Qarstion
The matter of securing a liotel for
Murdock is one that concerns every
person who has the interest of the
town at heart. With people visiting
our town every day who are not able
to secure either meals or lodging,
Murdock is getting an unenviable
reputation and being passed up by
many who would coiue here, could
they be assured of accommodations
along this line. With either a good
hotel or restaurant here the situation
would be much different. It looks

OVR FOUR YEARS LATER, or on
May 12, 1920, Mr. Storkjohn added:
"The cure I had from Doan's Kidney
Pills several years ago has become a
lasting one. It has been a couple of
years since I used or had need of a
kidney medicine and my kidneys are
now1 good and healthy. I still have
faith in Doan's and if ever I should
need a kidney remedy again, I should
certainly use them."

that would afford a good location
for an up-to-date hotel. Something
must be done to remedy the present
situation which is daily keeping peo
ple away from Murdock.
Has an Excellent Machine
We were much interested in a
demonstration a few days ago of the
Maytag self-contained multi-power
washing machine which Wm. Gherts
is offering to his trade just now. The
machine is so simple a child can suc
cessfully operate it and there is very
little chance of its ever getting out
of order, although if it ever should,
there is a free repair service that
goes with it, thus guaranteeing it
against any imperfections. When in
the store, ask for a demonstration of
this up-to-date washer.
The School Problem
The school situation is one
is commanding the attention and
best thought of the Board of Educa
tion and others interested in a solu
tion of the problem confronting the
consolidated district. Inadequate fa
cilities for the accommodation of
the pupils and inability of the teach
ers to secure suitable place of abode
are both matters of grave import
ance, and unless satisfactorily solved
will prove a grave menace to the
welfare of our educational institution.

ROBBERY AT EAGLE
Eagle gets into the limelight with
a real burglary. Last night the safe
at the Eagle garage was broken into
and cash to the extent bf something
like $50 was taken. Checks were not
taken only cash. Paul Judkins had
his famous blood hound out as soon
as the burglary was discovered, but
the boys say the dog evinced such
a fondness for Bill Brothwell that
they could not get him to work.
George Allen, the proprietor, is hard
