has been chanced to Otega, Kar.3as,

capacity deserve.
Will Meet to Select Site
There is a meeting called cf all tbe
legal voters of the consolidated school
district ICo. 7. otherwise the Murdock
school district, for the purpose of se
lecting a site for the new building,
which is soon to be constructed fcr
Murdock. The call, issued by the
president of the boprd, Mr. O. C.
Zink. under instruction of the full
board, is that the first ballot which
might be 'called an informal one, in
which every voter will have an op
portunity to express his own individ
ual choice of a site. Then following
each successive vote will eliminate
the site having the lowest number of
votes until there shall remain the
two highest, when these two shall be
voted upon until one shall have re
ceived two thirds of the votes being
cast. This looks like a very fair way
of deciding the question, and we
think should meet with popular ap
probation. Lost His Pole and Eeel
While ii. P. Leis was fishing in
the lakes in Cherry county, he made
such an excellent" cast that the pole,
reel and nearly he himr.elf was pre
cipitated :n the lake. However, the
pole and reel are a portion of the fish
ing grounds now. There was indeed
a plenty of water in which to fish,
all agree, and on another item they
are together, for one hundred miles
they found on their return scarcely
anything but water to drive through
and in many places for miles nearly
to the axles of their cars. The dist
ance which they made in one day go
ing, required two and a half days to
cover off their return trip. They ar
rived home at abohs eleven o'clock
last Thursday."
Visiting with Friends Here

the children, who are Otto, Jr., and

Will be at County Fair
A. J. Tool, th& rustling harness
maker of Murdock is to have an ex
hibit at the Cass county fair this
week, and he will be pleased to meet
all users of harness and other people
who will be there and have them in
spect this exhibit which will be well
worth while. Mr. Tool has a scheme
which should prove worth while. He
will carry a number of mail order
catalogs and there show how much
less he can furnish the same quality
of harness for which people are Head
ing their money out of the country
and paying freight on the goods be
sides. Many dollars can be saved by
Luying these goods at home and get
ting much better quality as well.
When at the county fair visit his
exhibit.
Having a Good Sale
' Max Dusterhoff, who has been in
Murdock for more than the past ten
yesrs and who in that time has done
excellent work under all circumstan
ces and 'who has built up a large
clientele, having concluded to make
his home and engage in business else
j where, has been holding a sale for
, the past two weeks which has been
going nicely and is still going strong,
but with a limited amount. of goods
cf excellent quality, in the shspe of
wall papers, paints and varnishes
which are selling at away telow cost.
Many have availed themselves of the
opportunity to recure what they have
been needing in these lines, at prices
away below what they can be pur
chased for elsewhere. These goods
are going very rapidly as they are of
the best quality and the prices are
even below inferior goods.
Looks to Us Xike a Tie
We were much pleased at the ele
ant appearance of the two windows
icf the Murdoch Mercantile company
last week, one cf which was dresse l
by Henry (Bud) Amgwert. who has
the grocery side or the north window,
rn! which was one difficult to equal,
while the south window was dressed
by J. E. (Jerry) McHugh, and was
made up of dry goods and dress ma
terials and presented eyuully ? fire
appearance. These 'two windows e.'i
ual those of the larger mercantile
houses in the big cities and are a
' good advertising proposition t.s .they
show the excellence or t&e gooes car
ried by this enterprising concern.
Meeting: vriik Excellent Success
The evangelical revival or series
of meetings wliich have been held in
Murdock fcr the past nearly two
weeks have been filled with much
Interest and while many cf the peo
ple have been kept away because of
pressure of work and a good deal of
bird weather, there has been a good
attendance all the time and rau?h
'interest has been manifest. The
preaching has been mostly done by
the eminent evangelist, the Rev. Jor

audience with him.

From the storm that h?;s arh-en
in a number of the cities ever the
question of whether a lady should
have her hair bobbing done at the
beauty shops pr the more common
place, barber shops, the Plattsmouth
ladies who are admirers of the bobs
may fe?l that they have something
to be thankful for that they have
proceeded peacefully along their own
way and had their hair cut where
thejr pleased. Minneapolis has been
the scene of a bitter warfare in the
pai-t two weeks between the embat
tled beauty shop operatives and the
hosts of the barbers armed to the
teeth with their clippers, and rivals
have finally secured the use of the
law to interfere in the matter. The
Omaha barbers union is expected in
the next meeting to take th" stand
that the bobring should be done in
a barber shop and which will prob
ably mean that the hair will fly in
Nebraska's metropolis as freely as in
the Minnesota city. However, in
Plattsniouth we will have our hair
bobbed wherever the desire takes us,
in pursuance of the American rijht
fb life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness.

, Governor Walton will not us

sociates.

BERLIN DECLARES
CAN NEVER ADMIT
RUHR ACTS LEGAL
Ho Prectical Eesults Unless Ncrmal
Economic Activity is Eestcred
In Occupied Territory.
Eerlin. Sept. 20. A semi-omcial
statement referring to reports cur
rent in Paris of possible Franco
G.rmaii negotiations makes it quite
c:?r that no practical results can be
obtained without the restoration ot
rormal economic activity in the Ruhr
with amnesty and permission to those
expelled to return, and that the ad
ministration mu.t be placed in the
hands of German officials and free
dom of traffic between occupied ami
unoccupied Germany restored.
The statement declares that such
conditions would permit reparation
payments, beginning with the evacu
ation of the Ruhr, but that Germany
can never agree to rec-oguize in any
form the legality of the occupation
cf the Ruhr.
That Belgium is attempting to
meddle in the Ruhr conflict L? ad
mitted at the foreign oifcee., where
!t is said tha Belgian minister Jias
been a frequent caller cf late and
fias candidly discussed the situation
with Chancellor Stresemann in what
is regarded as something more than
a merely informal manner.
May Offer Cash
The German government also is
reported as being prepared to offer
France an early, if not immediate,
Coiih payment inghe event of its plan
cf hypothecating German private
properties is accepted as a babis for
new reparations. In such a case, it
was said the government would be
in a position by virtue of its lien on
the holdings of industrialists, banks,
commerce and agriculture to mobil
ize some of the ready cah to appease
the French demand for something
tangible at the earliest possible date,
as it was Germany's desire to give
concrete evidence of hr good faith
as soon as the Ruhr conflict was ad
justed. ?row that reparations and the
Ruhr are ngain topics of formal con
versations between Great Britain and
France, and a decisive turn in the
Ruhr deadlock is likely to occur, the
Berlin editors are indulging in the
familiar recriminations respecting
capitulation.
MNo Surrender'
"Rather a breach with France
than surrender of our honor by ca
pitulation on the Ruhr,' says the
Kreuz Zeitung, which charges Chan
cellor Stresemann with having "cul
tivated the capitulation sentiment,"

inasmiuh as lie was continually em-
: phasizing Germany's inability fur

"Film Producer Has Woefully Failed
to Keep Pace With Our Prog

Chicago, Sept. 20. The "hick"
farmer with hayseed in his whiskers
and trousers tucked in his boots, cari
catured in the movies tnd on the
stage, will be relegated to the same
shelf with the dod bird if plans ap

The blame for the old "Yankee

minds of the majority of Americas
city dw-ellers was laid at the door of
the movie producers themselves by
Samuel Guard, iroctor of publicity
of the federation.
"The farm is modern and up-to-date,
with all the conveniences and
comforts of the city, but the film pro

"They fail to de'pict us as citizens,
but prefer to picture us a3 'hicks'

"We don't wart this kind of cari

JOHNSTOWN INQUIRY
ASKED BY MEXICANS
Embassy Requests U .S, State Depart
ment to Make Inquiry Into De
mands of Mayor There.
Washington, Sept. 20. The Ktate
department was asked by the Mexi
can embassy in a note today for in
formation concerning reports that
Mayer Cauffiel of Johnstown, Pa.,
had directed both negroes and Mex
icans who had not been residents of
tiis city for at least seven years to
leave at once.
At the tame time the embassy
stated that it had instructed the
Mexican consulate at Philadelphia to
proceed to Johnstown and report on
the Fituation. The embassy contend
ed the mayor has no legal authority
to expel peaceful Mexican residents.
Johnstown. Pa., Sept. 20. While
.Mayor Joseph Cauffiel insisted today
that he had not issued a formal. order
deporting recently arrived negroes,
ho j-aid that he had "advised" them
"for their own safety and the go'd of
Johnstown to leave the city," and
that "about 2,000 had gone within
the last three weeks."
The mayor also said he had "ad
vised" the Mexicans who come to
Johnstown to work to leave also, for
he was afraid that they might be
mistaken for negroes, should trouble
occur. The Mexicans live largely
adjacent to the negro districts.
