The telephone service in and out

ing of April 6th. The operators and

Pasture Demonstration.
With the cooperation of P. H.
Stewart of the College of Agriculture
and Fred Carsten of Avoca we are
carrying on a pasture demonstration
consisting of 11 plots sowing differ
ent grass s"ds and using some com
mercial fertilizer. This demonstra
tion will be continued for years
to see jf there can be some improved
i methods for increasing the yield on
blue grass pastures. Robert Meyers
of Weeping Water disked 20 acres
of blue grass pasture and sowed it
to sweet clover this spring. This
will be an interesting demonstration
to watch. We may be able to re
juvenate our old blue grass pastures
i into crops by using this method.

service lasted just 60 minutes and
was carried out in a simple and dig
nified manner that left a deep im
pression on the audience. A chorus
of some fifty voices was heard at the
service, the anthems being very beau
tifully rendered. The sermon by Dr.
Fox. "Go, Ye!" was a masterful ef
fort to bring out forcefully that these
eleven men went forth to capture the
world for the King of Kings. Men
today are likewise to "Go!" well pre
pared in mind and heart to preach,
to teach, yea. more than that, to
bear living witness for Christ of the
things they have experienced. He em
phasized that today it is no harder to
bear witness for Christ in China or
Africa than it is in America. Surely
a strong appeal to the youth of the
church to be living witnesses for the
Savior. We shall go again, for it was
good to be there and hear such a fine
discourse.
Making Farm Land
Gust Straich, who has had a non
producing orchard, with many of the
trees dying out, concluded that a
good cornfield was much better than
a poor orchard, and has chopped the
remaining trees down, having Mr.
Whitlach of near Greenwood blast the
stumps out and is preparing the land
for general farming.

Celebrate Silver Anniversary
Last Sunday, April 15th. was the
date of the twenty-fifth wedding an
niversary of Mr. and Mrs. O. E. Mc
Donald, who were united in marriage
at Fairbury, and who have resided in
Murdock tor the past twenty years,
enjoying the honor and friendship of
a host of friends during that time.
Relatives to the number of about
thirty were present and assisted in
making the day one long to be re
membered, and were tendered some
very beautiful and costly presents
telling of the love and honor in which
this couple are held. In departing
after th- very p!casant day all ex
tended to this excellent couple the
wioh for many more happy yean- of
wedded life, and also many more
such happy occasions.
cular 910 is "Eggs Cooked in the
Shell." a name for boiled eggs that
are not boiled. The recipe directs
the cook to put the eggs into boil
ing water and immediately set the
kettle where the water will cease
boiling but keep hot. It takes three
to five minutes to cook an egg soft,
from eight to ten minutes to cook it
medium, and '20 to CO minutes to
cook it hard by this method.
No longer can the careful cook
boil a few eggs as a last minute ad
dition to a meal. The eggs now re
rjuire as much forethought as the
potatoes and the other vegetables.

Murdock Going Forward
With the municipal improvements
which the city is now engaged in
making, in the shape of graveling the
streets, and the completion of the two
new buildings which Herman R.
Schmidt is erecting and other things
which are promised for the town, it
sure makes things look good for one
of the best little towns in the middle
west and situated in one of the best
portions of the farming district.
The graveling of the streets will
make it possible to traverse them in
any and all kinds of weather, and
will greatly facilitate the coming of
outside trade to the town.
The work of setting the curbs and
getting ready for the spreading of the
gravel is being pushed forward, and
the grading and sewerage for the
storm or flood waters is being looked
after so that when the materials ar
rive the spreading of the gravel can
proceed at once.
The city, in their distribution of
the work', are looking after the mat
ter in the rignt way and are keeping
as much of the money at home as
possible, for those who have labored
to make this their home town are en
titled to the labor and other business
which the city has at its disposal.
Murdock is going forward. Watch
her grow!

One Time Elm
wood Man Has a
Guardian Named
Charles Hall Springs Surprise in Be
quest for Guardian Children
to Oppose Choice.
Charles P. Hall made a sudden end
to his own guardianship suit at Lin
coln Tuesday morning by filing a pe
tition himself for the appointment of
John J. Ledwith to handle his affairs.
Bond of $100,000 was specified.
County Judge 4leid quickly com
plied, and, although attorneys for
Mr. Hall's nine children said they
would file objections to the choice, it
seems likely that the matter will now
rest as it is.
The children became alarmed when
their 78-year-old father married Es
tella G. Fowler, 66, on January 4th.
His $300,000 worth of property, they
stated, was liable to wastage. His
first wife and their own mother died
a couple of years ago and since that
time, it is asserted, his attitude to
wards them has changed from that of
a loving father to that of an incom
petent old man. j
Ninety-three thousand dollars in
securities were brought into the
court room Monday afternoon while
Mr. Hall was on the witness stand so
that he could show whether or not
he was able to identify them. They
had been kept in a strong box at his
home, 1627 South Twenty-second;
street, but were to be placed in a
safe deposit box.
Mr. Hall was unable when exam
ined by Attorney Sanden for the
children to remember the names of
all his offsprings, grandchildren and
great grandchildren, nor was he able
to fix their ages.
Recalls Indian Fights I
Fifty years ago he started buying
land, he said, near his home farm in
the Elmwood vicinity. Before that
he had treked across the plains from
Nebraska City to Denver with wagon!
trains and fought the Indians. Dur-!
ins the years that he and his first
wife amassed the $100,000 in person-
al goods and 1,750 acres of land that,
he now possesses, he showed consider-
able ingenuity as an inventor and in
devising means to meet emergencies
on a new country farm.
Fearing blood poisoning at the j
hands' of early professional men, he j
became adept at pulling his own
teeth with a pulley and weight ar
rangement. Once when badly cut
on the hand, he cleaned the wound
and successfully sewed it up him
self. !
A grain elevator that he invented,
he asserts, was "stolen" by patent ,
junipers who even today are making
neat bums from it. I
When ailed upon on to give exact
amounts concerning his securities,
Mr. Hall was unable in several in
stances to do so. One amount he
placed at all the way from $22,000 to
$34,000 at various times. !
His knowledge of humanity, he as
serted, as applied to his nine child
ren enabled him to ascertain that
they had been plotting to get his
land from him for the past ten years.
He had always controlled them, he
said, simply by the exercise of will
power rather than by physical force.
The nine children, most of whom
reside near Elmwood, are: Merle, Ed,
Waite, Eugene. Luther, Lyman and
Elmer Hall, P"lora Schick and Julia'
Luff.
HUMPHREY VOICES PRAISE
Fred B. Humphrey of Lincoln, de
feated as a democratic candidate for
congressional nomination, has writ
ten his successful- rival Congressman
Morehoad, thi.s letter of congratula
tions: "I want to congratulate you upon
your renomination as a candidate for
congress on the democratic ticket.
"I decided to file for the nomin
ation upon the understanding that
you did not intend to file and re
newed my campaign upon your state
ment in the papers that you did not
intend to run. I hoped you would
file for the nomination for Senator
as I figured that you would strength
en the party ticket. With the divi
sion that seemed to be rife in the
ranks of the republicans and with
your personal popularity, I think
you would have had a good chance
to be elected.
"As we do not differ as to the
issues, I can easily give you my whole
hearted support, and urge all my
friends to do the same. As my main
object was not in seeking office but
to give prominence to my ideas on
the farm situation, I shall feel well
repaid for my effort if I have helped
the cause of equality for agriculture
and those who advocate the McNary
Haugen bill"
