Joseph Vickers is the proud pos sessor of a new Ford truck, which he uses much for his transportation and for the hauling of stock for others. Frank E. Cook and the family are enjoying the possession of a new Buick touring car which they recent ly purchased from the distributor, O. F. Anderson. George P. Formen has just sown thirty acres of alfalfa and it looks like he has made a good strike, for the rains should cause it to get a good hold this fall. Charles Foreman was at Aurora last week, where he was called to at tend the funeral of the late Judge Ball, and while there visited with rel atives for a few days. The Fire Warden of Lincoln was a visitor in town on last Wednesday and had some of the people guessing, but found things in general looking pretty good in the city. The golf course which is laid out in the pasture of George P. Foreman, is a very popular place these days, especially when it does not rain and prevent the fans from using it. W. F. Borne-meier, of near Elm wood, was a visitor in Alvo and was enjoying the ball game which was played here last Wednesday, and which was won by the home team. James M. Manners and the family were over to Elmwood on last Friday afternoon, where they were attend ing the Cass county Sunday school picnic and enjoyed the time very much. While Frank Edwards and the fam ily were away on their vacation, the farm and stock were looked after by George Hardnoek, who is an excellent man and very careful and painstak ing in his work. Little Mary Catherine Parmenter was one year old on last Tuesday and in honor of the occasion she had grandfather, Henry S. Ough and her aunt, Mrs. Clo Schafer, with her for dinner. All had a very fine time. R. L. Parmenter and the family are moving to! the Henry S. Ough property, where they will reside, they having made some very marked im provement on the interior and have the property in excellent condition now. The Alvo town teani of baseball players were over to Hickman on last Sunday and engaged the team tWre in a good natured contest in which Alvo came out the winner with 12 scores to their credit, while the team at ickman had only 2. Robert Garcia, who has been work ing on the farm of John D. Foreman, was taken ill about a week ago and had to lay off from his work for a number of days on account thereof. He is reported as feeling some better at this time however. Little Joan Cook, who had her tonsils removed at Lincoln last week, is getting along nicely and will soon be entirely well again. She i3 so far improved that she and her broth er Wesley were over to the ball game on their ponies last Wednesday. Miss Grace Kitzel who was taken to Omaha, where she underwent an operation for appendicitis, is report ed as getting along nicely at this time and it is hoped that she will soon be well again. The operation was performed at the hospital in Lin coln. Mr. and Mrs. George Eidenmiller were spending last week at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Orville Waddick, who live in Clay county, where they en joyed a most excellent visit. The two ladies are sisters and this fact added much to the enjoyment of the vacation visit. The Rev. R. H. Chenoweth and family were visiting in Elmwood on Friday of last week, where they at tended the county Sunday school pic nic and witnessed the playing of the baseball turns of Alvo and Unadilla as a result of the tie in the Sunday School league. Frank L. Edwards and the family have been seeing the west for the past ten days, driving in their automobile to Palisade, where the folks of Mrs. Edwards reside and after having spent some time there they proceeded to Denver and Colorado Springs, at which places they enjoyed themselves very much. Joseph Armstrong and Charles Godbey were looking after the ex tension of the walk near the Metho dist church, which, while it was in good condition was a little narrow and was widened out to make it more suitable for the purpose as it is much used. They were making the extension on last Wednesday. Edgar Stoffer, the minister of the Church of the Brethren, and his good wife, have been blessed by a visit from the stork which, left a fine baby girl in thejr possession, who is to be come a companion to them in the years that are to come. The mother and the little miss are getting along nicely while -Elder Stoffer is expect ed to pull through. . . Miss Kate Nickel, one of the Cass county teachers who lives just east of Alvo, was in Plattsmouth last week, taking the short course in . Vitalized Agriculture so she might be the bet ter enabled to present the subject to the school which she teaches. Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Peter Nickel, were over to the county seat with the daughter, driving her over the fore part of the week. John D. Foreman and the family, who have been visiting at Burwell, where they spent the time at the home of Albert Foreman, and also visiting with other friends, spending some time at the rodeo. They also visited with George Foreman, Jr., at Valparaiso, G. P. Foreman accomp anying them on the trip. They were not unlucky in the matter of their fishing- for they were able to catch some excellent fish In some of the lakes near Burwell. v James H. Foreman, who is one of the good farmers of the neighborhood of Alvo. also knows how to grow watermelons as well, and it is claim ed that none exceed his in luscious ness. Some of the younger set visit ed his place without an invitation and nartook of the melons and not alone that, but destroyed some of the vines and came near having to pay the penalty in court. It is said that some of these present had even had an invitation to come and visit him and eat melons, but preferred to steal them instead. ETYLENE lilw O X Y What do these mystic letters stand for?

Frady's Garage Phone 58 KESOLUTION ADOPTED SEPTEMBER 3, 1926 We, the teachers of the Vitalized Group, desire to express our thanks Makes a Good Umpire It is claimed that when a, man shall put his attention to a certain subject, he can master it, even if it be a most difficult task, and this has been proven in the case of Herman L. Bornemeier, who has his time well taken up with the many duties of life on the farm and also studying other economics, thus materially monopoliz ing his time. He was called upon to act in the capacity of umpire . at a ball game and came to the scratch in regular order and . dispatched the work in his usual prompt and effi cient manner. When in doubt,- askJ Herman. Been Playing Ball Alvo has been playing ball for cer tain, . and has fully demonstrated their ability as, handlers, of , the stick and twirlers of the sphere, for in five successive games they, have not only won from their opponents, but shut them all out as well. The five teams in the Sunday school league which they have shut out are , Greenwood, Eagle, Palmyra, Elmwood and Weep ing Water. That is surely playing good ball, and no mistake about it. They were to have played a tie game off at the community picnic held to celebrate the completion of the schedule in the Cass-Otoe Sunday School Baseball league last Friday, with the Unadilla team, but owing to the rain which was falling heavily on Friday, the playing may have been difficult or impossible. Carl Rosenow was to send a report of the game in order that we might have it for this issue, and as we are writing this on Friday morning, we do not know if the game was played or not, but are pretty sure if it was, Alvo proved to be the winner. A Good Paper There is nothing like a good news paper thru the winter season when the nights are long and time hangs heavily on one's hands. The Journal furnishes ce readers with all the Cass county news, reaches them twice a week instead of only once, and yet costs no more than the smallest coun try town weekly newspaper with its four pages of "patent" print. Hand your $2 to M. S. Briggs, Journal field representative, and be assured of an entire year's good news service. FOR QUICK SALE My home on Lincoln avenue.

Mrs. Glenn Perry and Children. x.veryDoay reaas trie down. v-ut Ads and your message placed there will get results. Scottsbluff, Neb. This section of the North Platte valley was bewild ered today by the five unnatural deaths which have occurred within the last few days. Last Saturday, Mrs. Elizabeth Groom3 was killed on the Overland drive here when her automobile was crashed into a car driven by New ton Chatfield. Tuesday afternoon Victor Gonzales was drowned in the sand pit swimming pool south of here. Tuesday night Amelia Domson. three years old, disappeared and was found today in an irrigation lateral near here. This morning Ed Per chaluk killed himself near Minatare. In addition to these tragedies, there have been numerous near fatalities in automobile crashes, three hap pening within the last thirty-six hours on the Oveland drive, where car3 wtre wrecked beyond repair, but the occupants miraculously escaped. The body of Amelia Domson, dau ghter of George Domson of Scotts bluff, who had been missing since 6:30 p. m. Tuesday was found in an irrigation lateral a half mile from her home, after a concerted search by hundreds of persons. The body apparently had floated into shallow water in front of the irrigation check where it lodged in a depression and covered with debris and rubbish. Belief that the girl drowned was abandoned for the theory that some one had run over the child on the highway and had thrown the body into the lateral. She was one of a family of eight children, who are working in the beet fields here. Ed Perchaluk, a farmer near Min atare, killed his wife by shooting her with a shotgun and then stab bing her. He later shot himself with the same gun. No reason other than temporary insanity has been assign ed for his act. Perchaluk first fired the gun in his yard. His wife came to the door and asked him not to do that be cause he made her nervous. He im mediately went into the house, chas ed out his children, shot at his wife but missed her. He than struck her with the gun and then stabbed her half a dozen times with his pocket knife. Removing his shoes and socks. he laid down beside here and pulling the trigger of the gun with his toe3, shot himself in the head. Eight children, the oldest of whom is fourteen year old, survive.

The state department has received no official word concerning the reported cham pagne party given by William Cor ceran, American consul at Boulogne, i to Gertrude Ederle, in honor of her j channel swim. Press dispatches i which aroused the W. C. T. U. in Douglas county (Omaha) Nebraska, were observed by department officials ;at the time of publication, but so far : nave oeen ignored. I Officials today declined to comment on tho reported incident except to point out that American consuls serv ing abroad are subject to the laws of the nation to which they are assign ed and since fhere is no prohibition law in France, Corceran's conduct, as suming that the press dispatches wen; correct, was not believed to have been offensive to either French authorities or the French people. If the incident took place, it in not anticipated a report will be made, nor is it probable that a report will be requested until it is known what action the Nebraska and the national W. C. T. U. takes regarding the mat ter. Fred Kissling departed this morning for Lincoln where he goes to meet his wife and son, Ronald, who are returning home from a visit of some ten weeks at Yakima, Wash ington, where they have been at the homo of Mrs. Killing's mother.
