There were many of the people of
j Murdock and surrounding country in
attendance at the band concert that
was put on by the Murdock band and
which with the excellence of the mm
sic are attracting many people from
a distance to the Wednesday evening
entertainments which are free.
Mr. Ivan Heier reports that in the
neighborhood where he resides west
of town, there are many chinch bugs
appearing in the corn fields with the
harvesting of the wheat. These are
very formidable pests and their in
vasion of the corn fields in large
numbers means a greatly reduced
yield.

fortunate in the fact that he was
transferred to Omaha a short time
since and having moved there will

while living in the east. Mr. and
Mrs. Meyer came down to attend the
funeral of Mrs. George Oehlerking,
which was held at Elmwood on last

A. D. Zaar, who is building a new
house, is getting so far along that he
has the frame now over the founda
tion and was compelled to wait until
the workmen returned to Omaha and
completed a piece of work which they
had under construction, when they
will return to the work here, which
Mr. Zaar is anxious to have pushed
along as rapidly as possible, as the
family is living in a small house on
the farm now which provides very
cramped quarters.
Fred Stock, Jr., and wife are being
blessed with the arrival of a very fine
young lady who will make her home
with them in the future. This little
lady was very warmly welcomed and
the parents are very happy over her
arrival. Grandfather Fred Stock, Sr.,
sure is feeling pretty fine over the ar
rival and nothing is too good for his
friends now. This makes the third
young lady to arrive to the descend
ents of-Fred Stock, Sr. and wife, and
with many sons and grandsons as
well.
Mrs. George Oehlerking who has
lived in the vicinity of Elmwood for
many years and who wa3 one of the
most highly respected citizens of this
community, after an illness extend
ing over considerable time, passed
away at her home southwest of Elm
wood on last Tuesday, the funeral
being held at the Evangelical church
on Thursday and interment being in
the beautiful Elmwood cemetery. A
good many people from Murdock
went over to attend the funeral and
pay their last tribute of honor and
respect to this excellent lady.

friends one afternoon last week at
the home of her parents from two to

Where Are We Going;?
The question which is agitating
the whole country just now is what
l is tne matter wun ine couniry ami
its people and how to get after the
remedy. Dr. Frank G. Wilcox will
speak at the Evangelical church July
14th, Wednesday evening at S o clock
ion the subject of " Safety First vs.
Wild Oats." This will b'e a commun-
ity welfare address and needs to be
heard and considered by all who have
an interest in the welfare of the
V,home and community. At the an
I nfial meeting of the Nebraska Hy-
giene and Welfare association held
early in June, it was. decided that
the Executive committee begin a vig-
orous campaign for the benefit of the
'j welfare bills, one providing for the

Washington, July 3. "Absolute

the house a statement by Wayne B
Wheeler, general counsel of the Anti-
Saloon League of America, that Hill
had received fees for making speeches
against prohibition.
Hill said he wrote a letter to Sen
ator James A. Reed, democrat. Mis

committee, asking an opportunity to
refute the falsehood issued by Wheel
cr before the committee Friday morn
ing.
Admission was made by Hill that
railroad expenses had been paid to
speak before meetings on prohibition,
but never had he received "honorar
iums" such as those paid to dry mem
bers of congress, he said.
Representative Edgar Howard, of
Nebraska (democrat) said that he
offered Hill a fee for his speech be
fore the Midwest Nebraska exposition
at Columbus, Neb., last October, on
behalf of the exposition, but that Hill
had refused to accept the money.
On two occasions when Hill de
bated the prohibition situation with
Wheeler, he was offered money, but

The 22 states include New York,

alone have no local dry enforcement
statutes, as well as Pennsylvania,
Illinois, Indiana. Wisconsin, Iowa,
Missouri and Kentucky.
While the state organizations con
tribute a certain parfof their in

for nearly five hours, that both the
national and state organizations do
their own collecting independent of

Hog Prices to

Government Indicates Pig Survey
Shows Fewer Animals in

Washington. "This year may
well prove to be another season of
improvement in agricultural condi
tions," the department of agriculture
announced today in its July report
on the farm situation.
"The stage is set for strong hog
prices well into next year, prospects
for wheat growers are moderately
good, cattle are coming back in the
west, and the dairy industry ia pick
ing up in the east."
Cotton, corn, potatoes, and even
wheat, are largely a speculation at
this date, the department said, be
cause of backward weather. Abun
dant fruit crops were declared in
prospect, with hay apparently a
short crop, except in the far west,
and low stocks of old hay.
The wheat harvest, now in full
swing, was described as having turn
ed out unexpectedly heavy yields over
parts of the southwest, though hurt
by dry weather in sections from Kan
sas northward.
Spring wheat, after a very poor
start, was said to have benefitted
from recent rains throuKhout the
northern belt, while general indica
tions suggested less spring wheat
than last year, but a substantially
larger total wheat crop.
World stock of wheat, however,
were estimated on June 1 as about
30 million bushels below wheat last
year, with stocks in this country un
usually low.
The pig survey, showing one-half
per cent fewer pigs in the corn belt
this spring than last, the department
commented, means no increase in the
supply of hogs for slaughter before
next spring, and presumably well
sustained prices for a yearf yet to
come.
Concerning agriculture prices, the
report declared the crop season is
along now where production reports
will have a greater inuuence on
prices, with cotton, wheat and pota
toes showing-a tendency to lose a
few points in unit exchange value
while corn and hay have gained a
point or two.
