The Spirit of Co-Operation
Things which go to make a good
town is where all try to make it
some better for the other fellow.
When the Israelites returned to Je
rusalem from Babylon and were re
building the walls of the city, all had
a mind to work. So the carpenter
helped the blacksmith, the milkman
assisted the painter and so on thru
out the entire line and the work
progressed smoothly and harmonious
ly to the end that the walls were
soon rebuilt and the gates again set
in place.
Now this is the sort of spirit that
builds up and maintains the best of
communities. We observed this spirit
manifest by the Bank of Murdock on
our last trip to Murdock, in the send
ing Kenneth Tool to the Farmers ele
vator to assist in the weighing of
grain when Mr. Firestine. the man
ager, was crowded with his work and
had no assistant to help him in ar
ranging bin room for the grain or
operating the dump and elevator.
The bank, considering that what
was good for one industry of the town
would react to the benefit of all. was
only too glad to provide Mr. Fire
stine with a capable assistant while
the rush of incoming grain continued
and as aresult he was able to handle
a much larger volume that otherwise
would have been possible. This is
the kind of co-operation that pays
big dividends and if the people would
all get behind this idea it would re
sult in manking this a much better
town. The people of Murdock can
by well directed efforts, make the
town twice as large as it is at pres
ent and when that is accomplished,
they can double it again by a con
tinuation of the same spirit of co
ope; .ition. It is one thing that pays
big dividends. Why not all try it?
Misjudged the Conditions
At the Pawnee school on last Fri
day there was held a box supper
whkh had to be supplemented on ac
count of a misjudgment of the appe

they would not care for more to eat.

only three boxes brought, but these

high bid on one of them was ?9.00.
However, there was a large crowd
and a good program and following
the rendering of this there was sold
a plate supper which swelled the re
ceipts of the evening nicely and made
everybody in attendance happy.
Attended Shooting Match
A number of the people who are
marksmen, and there are many in
the neighborhood of Murdock, went
!ast Tuesday to the shooting match
which was held near Ashland and
tried their luck at pulling the trig
ger at the right time. Harold Tool,
Lacey McDonald, Oscar McDonald.
L. B. Goerthy. Kenneth and Richard

Visited in Iowa

Mrs. Henry A. Tool departed for Ack

Havs including Thanksgiving,

;ieiepnone exchange, drove over to
jthe Platte river for a short time, and
, after they had gotten nearly there,
they noticed the car was not guid
jing just right and got out and found
.that one tire was clear down. Neither
of them had ever had any experience
in mending or changing tires, but
May Eemodel Their Hall
tio members of the Modern Wood
men and the Royal Neighbors of
America met at their hall at Murdock
last Friday and discussed the ques
tion of making some changes In their
hall to meet with the demand for a
better place to meet and for public
public function which have been so
well attended the hall cannot contain
them and they have had to go to the
auditorium of the new school build

Surprise Their Teacher
The members of the Adult Bible
class of the Evangelical church which
is so ably taught by Mrs. W. O.
Schewe, in appreciation of the hard
work and the excellent teaching
which this lady has given to the,
class, organized a surprise on her,
on her birthday which fell on last
Friday. They went to her home and
with well filled baskets containing
good things to eat, and better even ;
than that, a spirit of thankfulness
for the kindness of their teacher and j
recognizing what she had done for,
the class and all its members, made
a most enjoyable evening for her as
well as for themselves. This Bible
class is sure a wide-awake class, as
the writer has met with them a
couple of times and knows of their
interest in the current lessons and
current events of the day.

council of Murtrock, a new' but still
old practice will be put in vogue. The

an interest in the home town should
be there and do their part. j

SUGGESTS EARLY SHOPPING
AND SHIPPING FOE CHRISTMAS
"Early shopping and early ship
ping" of Christmas packages go hand
in hand, according to I. G. Hornbeck
Agent of the American Railway Ex
press Co. Steps have been taken to
expedite the movement of all Christ
mas gift shipments and the cooper
ation of the public is sought to re
lieve the strain of the rush usually
encountered during the last few
days before Christmas.
Most cf the troubles which delay
Christmas shipments are due to in
adequate packing of errors in ad
dresses, according to Mr. Hornbeck.
If the contents of the package are
fragile, a caution on the wrapping
to that effect will inform those
through whose hands it passes that
it requires extra careful handling.
"We have found by past exper
ience, that when the address is leg
ibly written and complete in all de
tails, the package is quickly handled
directly to the person to whom it
is addressed and seldom goes astray.'
Such has been the growth of al
most every city that it is essential
to give the street and number of the
addressee. Abbreviations in writing
the name of a state sometimes re
sult in misrouting, because it can
not be told which state is intended.
"As a matter of precaution the
sender should not fail to put his or
her name and address on the pack
age and it is not a bad plan to put
the same information inside. Thus
if the outside "marks" become dt
faced, the idenity of the owner or
that of the person to whom it is
sent, is not lost."
As a means of encouraging better
addressing, special labels have been
issued to give Christmas express
packages the right of way during
the holidays.

Frrm Saturday's Daily
The showing here this week of
"The Freshman" the latest photo
comedy of Harold Lloyd, America's
foremost screen comedian, has a spe
cial interest to Dr. David J. Reynich,
one of the residents at the Nebraska
Masonic Home in this city, as Dr.
Reynich was present and officiated at
the coming into this world of Har
old Lloyd.
The birth of Harold Lloyd occur
red at Edgar, Nebraska, where Dr.
Reynich was then engaged in active
practice and the now aged physician
was called into the case when the ad
vent of the young man was expected
and he has watched with interest
the climb to fame and fortune of
the young screen star in the last few
years. At the time that Dr. Reynich
was assisting in the coming of the
comedian he little dreamed that the
world would one day honor and
praise the work of the tiny babe and
that hia fame would raise to equal
that of the leaders of the world.
The success of Harold Lloyd in
the moving picture world adds him
to the array of the great men that
have come from the great state of
Nebraska and his task of pleasing
and entertaining has earned him a
definate place beside other of the
great Nebraskans, William Jennings
Bryan, General John J. Pershing. J.
Sterling Morton. Judge Roscoe Pond,
Vice-president C. G. Dawes and Sena
tor Gilbert M. Hitchcock.
In his own moving picture world
Lloyd finds two Jother Nebraskans
who have progressed far on the way
to popularity in the movies. Rod
LaRoque of Omaha, and "Hoot" Gib
son of Chadron.
