The accident occurred in the course of a rainstorm as the party was returning from doing the chores on their farm a mile from town. It is thought the rain obscured the vi sion of the driver.

Todd was the scene of a very pleas ant affair on Tuesday evening of this week. The event being a ban quet given to the young men who belong to the Epworth League of the Methodist church. The plans were made by the offi cers of the league and various com mittees were appointed to carry out the plans. The decorating committee select ed as their colors pink and white, and to say that their decorations were "beautiful" would be putting it in a very mild form. The two long tables with sweet peas as centerpieces, the artistic nut cups, place cards and menu cards, together with the large bou quets of sweet pease and ferns which were placed entirely around the room; and the pink, shades for the lights made the dining room a pic ture of beauty long to be remember ed by those who had the opportunity of entering therein. The out-of-town guests were Mr. Hilt Wescott -and Mr. J. Perry of Plattsmouth, who assisted in the en tertainment for the evening. While the guests were arriving the young men sang songs, visited and enjoyed the musical numbers of Mr. Wescott. When the time came for the doors of the banquet room to open, the young men, twenty-one in number, quickly fiund their pl:es around the table and proceeded to enjoy the most important part of the program the eats. The elegant three course dinner was served by four of the league girls who carried out the color scheme in their dress. The toasts were given between the courses. Mr. J. A. Simmons presided as toastmaster and introduced the speakers in a very tactful manner. The welcome was given by Lewis Mougay. president of the league. Mr. Perry gave a very interesting toast on "Get Ready," Mr. Leslie Everett's toast was on "Take Aim," and Mr. Wescott gave the climax, "Fire." When you look at some pieces of machinery, their intricacies amaze you and you wonder how the brain of man ever conceived them. Tet practically all mechanical movements are merely combinations of three basic principles wheel, wedge and lever. Individually, these are simple. Grouped together, they look complicated. So with all problems. No matter how involved and difficult they seem, a little analysis and common sense will disclose that they are built up of the very simple things, easily ad justed. Get rid of fear and procrastination and no problem is insurmountably difficult. WE THANK OUR FRIENDS The nomination to the office of sheriff has gone to another and while this is so, I wish to extend to the many friends in this county my very sincere thanks for their loyal sup port. While I did not receive the nomination for the position, I difi receive over 350 more votes than anyone else and this is very gratify ing, when it, comes to knowing "that so many loyal friends supported me. I am thanking you all in this way as I have had to depart for the west to look after the harvesting and threshing of my wheat crop. REX YOUNG.
