Mis Mathilda Soennichsen, of
Plattsrnouth was assisting in the
store at Murray last Tuesday, as Mr.
E. S. Tutt was moving to the resi
dence property of G. M. Minford in
the north part of town. He has been
living in the garage building here
tofore. Henry Vallery who knows, for he
was then ten years old, says that on
the 18th of March, 1861. the snow
was five feet deep on all the roads
and country in this section and the
Missouri river was frozen up solid,
staying that way until the first week
in April. That beats the weather
we are having now for being severe.
must have known, for last Tuesday,
when we assayed to come to Murray,
the animal scooted out of the beaten
path into the deep mud and water
east of town near the bridge at the
A. G. Long place, and as we were
endeavoring to encourage the weath
er, being without chains, we prompt
ly parked the demon there and went
on to town in a lumber wagon.
This was the day of the community
sale and others coming over the hill
east parked their cars on the crest
until the road was full. The braver
ones came on to town, which was
not such a difficult task for those
equipped to buck the mud. We se
cured a pair of chains, as ours were
at Plattsrnouth, and returning to the
scene wallowed about in the mud for
a while and with the assistance o
Art Copenhaver got them on the car
and his satanic majesty backed out
of the bog, ,trned around and climb
ed the hill and we returned the
chains. Some said we would not tell
about the episode, because it was on
us, but we have.
Were Visiting Here
Mr. and Mrs. George Jones and
Charles Smith, of Wakefield, arrived
in Murray last Sunda morning for a
visit with relatives and were during
a portion of the week guests at the
home of Herman Smith and Mrs.
Kniss and sons. Mr. and Mrs. Jones
the latter who was formerly Miss
Lorina Smith, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. P. B. Smith, were united in

ing the roads so very bad came to
Plattsrnouth where they visited for

They are now returning to their home

Murray Community Sale
The Murray community sale which
was held at the Rhoden barn last
Tuesday, while the roads were very
bad, was a success beyond the ex
pectation of those who had it in
hand. This is the first of what it is
expected will be made a regular in
novation in the commercial life of
Murray.
Richard Brendel Very Sick
Little Richard Brendel, son of Dr.
and Mrs. J. F. Brendel, was taken
with ptomaine poisoning last Mon-
jday and was in a very critical condi
tion ior eoine time, out late i uesuaj
he was showing signs of improve
ment. He has had the best of medi
cal attention and nursing and his im
provement is much due to this. His
many friends and friends of the fam
ily are rejoicing that he is feeling
better.
To Celebrate Golden Wedding
On April 9th, at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. L. H. Young will be cele
brated by the family the wedding of
this popular couple and all of the
children and many other relatives
and friends will participate in the
festivities of the occasion. The gath
ering will be held at the Young home
west of Murray.
New Firm in Charge
During the past week Messrs Wil
son and Scotten disposed of their
grocery business and restaurant to
Messrs Oscar Nailor and Earl Lan
caster, both of whom are well known
here. They have taken charge of
the business, and we predict they
will make a success of it.
Must Have Been Rightly Named
Frank H. Smith, the versatile city
editor of the Evening Journal, and
a man with clear insight to the fu
ture in some instances, named the
car which we have been driving,
when we first got the beast. "The
Black Devil." As time has come and
gone, we are of the opinion that he
Received Very Severe Wound
While Mrs. J. A. Davis was break
ing up BOE6. barrell staves, one of
the pieces rebounded and the sharp
end of the same struck her on the
forehead just over the eye, cutting a
very severe gash which bled profuse
ly. She was alone, Mr. Davis being
at the sale and the blood streaming
copeously from the wound looked
like the bleeding might prove fatal
She telephoned Tor-assiFtance and all
preparations Were made to immedi
ately go there by Dr. Brendel, who
would have to go by team as the
roads were Impassable for a car, and
just as he was starting another phone
message came saying that Mrs.
Davis had stopped the flow of blood
and that it would not be necessary
for him to come. The doctor pre
pared some medicine for treating the
wound and as Mr. Davis had then
been located and apprised of the ac
cident, he immediately departed for
home with the medicine. It is hoped
that Mrs. Davis will socn be well
again and over the sad experience.
FAVOR INCREASING
RANGE SHIPS GUNS
England Has Advantage Over Other
Navies of Fully 3,000 Yards
To Meet Opposition
Washington, March 24. The
United States will have the support
of France and Japan in any opposi
tion to the British contention that
the elevation of "guns on capital
ships may not be increased under the
terms of the naval treaty, it was
learned officially tonight.
Italy, the other signatory to the
naval treaty, has not yet expressed
any official opinion on the disputed
question, but officials believe the
Mussolini government will follow the
attitude of France.
Both France and Italy, it was
said, are virtually compelled to take
a stand favoring the increased range
for capital ships inasmuch as their
principal battleships are far less
modern than those of Great Britain,
the United States and Japan and
without increasing gun range would
be far below the 5-5-2-1 ratio laid
down in the Washington agreement.
Japan takes the view that the ele
vation of guns may be increased, pro
vided no change in the general type
cf mounting, such as is prohibited in
the treaty, is involved.
Final decision is left to President
Harding as to whether this govern
ment will insist upon its rights to
increase range of American ships
with a parity to the British fleet,
which is now asserted to have a
superiority of 3,000 yards. At the
navy department tonight, it was
stated that the question of the "mod
ernization of the American fleet, is
still under consideration." 0
President Harding and Secretary
Hughes, however, are determined
the shall be no ground for charges
that this government is not living
up to the letter and spirit of the
treaty, and they are making abso
lutely sure of their ground before
acting.

MYNARD
Seed
One of the Best in the-Country Ac-'
cording to Experts Who Have
Investigated Many.
The drug-plant garden of the
College of Pharmacy of the Univer
sity of Nebraska ranks as the best
state university garden of this kind
in the United States. It ranks fifth
in the number of diilerent species
grown and has about the smallest
piat of ground of twenty pharmacy
drug-plant gardens in the United
States, declares Dr. W. W. Stcckberg
er of the bureau of plant industry of
the United States departdemtn of
agriculture in a bulletin entitled "A
List of Medicanal Plants grown in
Pharmacy Drug Gardens in the Unit
ed States." In Nebraska's garden,
110 species of drug plants, collected
from all corners of the globe are
planted, cultivated, Etudied and har
vested and prepared for use in the
pharmacy laboratories for the extrac
tion of drugs. Of the large number
of species, about twenty-five are
found in Nebraska some of them
are native. Not long ago Dr. Fetter
of Cincinnati used nine illustrations
from this garden in his work entit
led, "The Eclectic Materia Medica
Pharmacology and Therapeutica."
Two other university gardens rank
near Nebraska's those cf Minnesota I
and Wisconsin. These receive sup- j
port from the federal government,
having been selected by the federal :
pharmacologists for the propagation ,
of drug plants because a field where i
plants could be grown under northern
climatic conditiions was desired.
The Nebraska garden does not
serve only to produce plants but also!
as a laboratory lor pharmacy stu-!
dents who have the added advantage
of studying the liv plant. The Col
lege of Pharmacy produces enough
plants to supply its laboratory
needs.

an interesting history peculiar to Ne
braska. From the Indians the earl3T
settlers learned that its root was
good for snake bites. The Indians
used it for this purpose.
Dr. H. C. F. Meyer, of Pawnee
City, took the plant and vainly
ought for many years to introduce
it as a remedy for snake bite before
it was. accepted. Echinacea not only
serves this ooe purpose but it is also
put to manifold uses in eclectic medi
cine, i his purple cone fiower grows
wild in Nebraska and a few doctors
gather it and extract the drug them
selves.
Many persons are misled to believe
that there is an immense profit in
growing drug plants, says Dean R.
A. Lyman of the College of Pharm
acy. The fact is, he says, that if a
160-acre farm were planted with one
of the species and were harvested
t would flood the markets for years.
To grow drug plants successfully re-
ticulous care in the case of many
species, l or this reason it is dini
cult to do on a large scale.
All herbs like sage, horehound,
catnip, the mints, fennel and cara
way grow well in this state, ac
cording to Dean Lyman. No attempt
has been made to grow drug shrubs
cr trees. Shrubs are so plentiful
where they grow that it would add
no advantage to produce them in this
garden. Most of the drug trees are
acclimated to-the tropics. I
Synthetic production of drugs is
making itself felt, states Dean Ly
man. Caffine, cocaine and cam
phor are among the drugs success
fully produced artificially. In spite
of this, many physicians still insist
on the drug extracted from plants.
