THURSDAY, NOV. 21, 1929. PIATTS1TOUTH SEMI - WEEKLY JOURNAL WEEPING WATER K. P. Reese of Plattsmouth was looking after some business matterd in Weeping Water on last Tuesday, he being in the life insurance game and was interviewing some of the citizens regarding business of his company. Former County Agent L. R. Snipes who is now in Lincoln, was a visitor with friends in Weeping Water, and was also assisting in the making of the annual report of the County Agent as he was here the major por tion of the year. Raymond Rerger of Louisville, the representative of the Chevrolet Auto mobile at that place, was u business visitor in Weeping Water on last Tuesday, he was looking after some business matters as well as visiting with a number of his friends while here. A letter from Miss Margaret Lane, who was reported as undergoing an operation a short time since for ap- penaieitic. tells of her getting along nicely, since the operation and that she is expecting to be allowed to leave the hospital in a short time. This is good news to the many friends of this young lady, who- will rejoice at her rapid improvement. Mrs. George pohn is reported as being in not the best of health and was kept to her home and bed for a number of days, during the past and present week, so serious was she that Mr. Spohn was kept at home, and Frank E. Wood was looking af ter the store for a time Tuesday morning. Her many friends are hoping she may soon be in her usual health again soon. Clifford Jewel who was taken PAGE THREI Doing; Excellent Work. Mrs. H. L. Richards who is a very clever artist when it comes to pho tography, has 6n display in the win dow of the hardware store a large selection of the samples of her work and which is the very best. She is using one of the rooms of their home for a studio, where she takes and fin ishes the pictures. Weeping Water should feel well satisfied with this institution as larger places often have not the privilege of having this ex cellent institution. Are Hoping: For Good Weather. The people of Weeping Water are surely all wishing that there will come and continue good weather for many reasons, one that the farmers may get their corn picked and in the crib. Another is that there might be an opportunity to get the road north completed and put in good condition before the coming of real winter. There was an effort to be gin the spreading of gravel on the road, and just when the condi tions were right it stormed again. However, the opportunity to gravel it will come and we are hoping right now. Eebekahs Elect Officers. At the meeting of the Daughters of Kebekah of Weeping Water on last Monday evening following their regular work, and other matters which the assembly was called upon to look after, they proceeded to the election of officers for the ensuing icrti). The election, which followed, selected for the officers Mrs. Myrtle Gibson as Noble Grand, Mrs. Edith Michelsen.

The many friends of this excellent young man and his family are much pleased that he is able to return home at this time. Mr. and Mrs. George W. Goodman, formerly of north of Wet pine Water where they engaged in farming, and who later were superintendent of the Cass coun'y farm hor.v. but who are making their home in Lincoln where they have resi'i.-d for some time were guests for the afternoon and evening last Sunday at the home of their friends. Mr. and Mrs. Earl Towle, whtre all enjoyed the visit very nicely. Emery DeWu'.f, who has been con ducting the Cozy Cafe near the Dow ler Brothers garage for some time past on last Tuesday evening, closed the place. While he was enjoying a very good trade he did not thir.k it was sufficient for the spending of his time and that of the wife, for with both working, they felt that they should make more money and so clo.-ed the institution and will seek other employment. Wr. Dunn, the auctioneer, and by the wry a good one at that, he hav ing sold goods and farming imple ments as well as live sto k in and about Weeping Water for n.ar.y years, not long since traded a number oZ automobile fsor a stock of goods and which he will auction off at Weep ing Water. We do not know what kind of goods they are, whether hard ware, general stock or drugs, but hi1 will be among you and you will then know. cellent set of officers at that. Will Make Home at Milford. Mrs. Isabel Jones who has been visiting at Milford for some time and also was spending some time at Aur ora, with her sister, Mrs. Lucy Maw, returned to Weeping Water on last Monday evening and will arrange to go to Milford where she will stay at the home for the winter. ileets With Painful Accident. While a traveling man from Oma ha, who was selling goods in Weep ing Water on last Tuesday morning was walking across the street, and seeing a truck coming, storped to awaiti ts passing, and as the truck came, notwithstanding the fact there was a stop sign, the truck did not stop, but entering main street, turn ed to the west, and as a long pipe, extended out behind, when the truck turned, the pipe was switched, and struck the man on tf.e side of his head, felling him to the ground, cut ting a large gash in the side of his head near the eye. and rendering him unconscious. Rasmus Larson, who saw the accident ran to the un fortunate mans' assistance, and got him to the office of Dr. Kruse which was nearby, where his injuries were dressed. After a short time the in jured man returned to consciousness arid was able to go on his way. The driver of the truck evidently not knowing of the damage which he hd done, drove on west, and disap peared around the corner. When the people had thought to inquire about who it was. a number of people with cars went in search of him but noth ing" could be found cf the truck or the driver. Pioneer Called to Rest. On last Monday evening at 10:30. the death angel called for Mrs. Alice Van Ever j", who has been at the Soldiers and Sailors home at Mil ford for the past three weeks, and vl ere she has been very sick. Form erly she was making her home with her son in Weeping Water. Mrs. Van Every, who maiden r.ame was the same, was born November luth, 1S53. at Middledale, Michigan, and when three years of age, came to near Grand Rapids with her parents to m:;ke her home. There she ob tained her education and united with the Baptist church to which she re mained a devoted communicant dur ing her entire life. On May 10. 1S73, at the age of nearly twenty years. she was united in marriage to Char les Van Every, and a few years later in 1879, they came to Nebraska and settled near Wabash, where they re sided during the remainder of their lives until recently she came to Weeping Water to live and later go ing to Milford. To this union was born seven children two of who have preceded the mother to the other world. The husband and father also passed on some twenty-seven years ago. The children living are D. B. Van Every of Omaha: Mrs. John Creamer of Ogallala: Mrs. S. A. Ja cobson of McCool Junction; E. M. Van Every of Lincoln and Wm. Van Every of Weeping Water. When Mr. and Mrs. Charles Van Every came to Cass county and settled near the present town of Wabash, the railroad was just building through this por tion of the county, and they saw the town layed out and the first build ings constructed, and the town grow; and know of the hard work which the people of the early days did to con vert the country from a raw prairie to the well cultivated and rich agri cultural district it is now. For years the Rev. W. A. Taylor of Union was the pastor of the church to which Mrs. Van Every was a member and it was he who was so well acquainted with this excellent christian pioneer who was selected to say the last sad words over the mortal remains of this very fine woman. Funeral director W. L. Hobson, with his funeral coach went to Milford on last Monday eve ning, bringing home the remains of this excellent woman. The funeral was held from the Methodist church at Wabash, and the interment made at the beautiful Wabash cemetery. FOE SALE Hereford bull calf. Phone 4422 or call nlS-2tw W. G. MEISINGER.

Mr. T. L. Davis, soperintendent of the agricultural and fruit depart ment gave a very interesting talk on his department. The big feature as Mr. Davis outlined was the boys and girls who made entires in this de partment, looking to the future ot the county fair and that the boys and girls who are taking an active part in the present day fair, no doubt, will be the outstanding exhibi tors in the future. Mrs. C. E. Pool gave a very inter esting talk on the domestic products department. When we stop to think that there were 4 78 entries in this department and that very one mak ing an exhibit in this department had no trouble in getting their ex hibit back or any mistake made on entry or ilassification. the fair man agement wants to thank Mrs. Pool and her efficient help for handling this department in this fine way. Mrs. Pool had no recommendation to make for the betterment of this de partment, feeling that this was one of the outstanding show rooms in the fair. Mrs. Ray Smith, superintendent of the women's department and needle work gave a very interesting outline of this department. With 270 entries we agree with her that this is a vei y attractive department. The fair man agement believes that Mrs. Smith is very efficient in this department, and is willing to co-operate with her in better and more equipment to take care of this department. Mrs. Fred Gorder, superintendent of the educational department, held the floor for seme little time giving an outline of the exhibits and prem iums off reel in tliiy department. This department has been changed from time to time the 3a;:t year, being the first time1' cash premiums were ottered as prizes. The management oi the fair feels as though this department is not going forward as it should. They also feel that Mrs. Cord'-r ami her assistants have done a mat deal cf hard work in getting this depart ment lined up. and Mrs. Gorder re minded those prseent at the- r.: t.ts of the outstanding show rooms of 'along the line cf having a four-day the fair for 1930. j fair. This being his first year with Mr. W. O. Ogden, superintendent ; county fair work, also being his first of the bees and honey department, ! year in our county, feels as though gave a very interesting talk on the ; the fair is too big a proposition to department as well as the history crowd into a three-day program. Mr. and manners of the little bees that J Wainscott, being a new member on make the honey that has made this ' the fair board, and this being a mat department a sweet place to visit, j ter for theni to decide on, no doubt, As in some of the other departments, Mr. Ogden delights to work and talk about bees and honey. And every one visiting this department and in terested in bees and honey could get a good deal of first hand information on how to care for bees as well as the finished product. - The superintendent of the livestock and school floats parade gave a very elaborate talk. This department was handled by D. II. Switzer. The live stock parade is one of the big fea tures of the closing day of the fair. Along with this comes the school floats that are so nicely decorated by the school children of the rural dis tricts of the county. There were 14 entries for this parade but on account of the inclement weather only 5 of this number were able to get in for the parade. Woodlawn Rebeckah lodge No. 22 of Weeping Water, Ne braska, had a very outstanding float in the parade. There were also a number of the local automobile deal ers showing some of their latest models that helped t omake the par ad" a success. The superintendent in charge made a statement to the effect that should the weather have been fine, the line of parade would have reached more than a mile in length. The fair management feels greatly indebted to Mr. Switzer as this is one something along this line will be worked out at a later date. The faiir management was well pleased with this meeting and its results. There was about 4 0 of the members and superintendents pres ent. They were just seating them selves around the tables for the elab orate banquet when M. S. Briggs, field man for the Plattsmouth Jour nal, called over long distance and regretted very much that he was un able to get to the meeting on account of bad roads. It is remembered by the fair management that Mr. Briggs was always on the job as the Jour nal had charge of printing the prem ium list for last year. In so doing we find that the Journad was telling the people of Cass county during the whole year about the coming event known as the Cass county fair. The fair management is very sorry that Mr. Briggs was unable to attend this meeting as he would have realized a reward for the work he has done for the success of the county fair. In closing. President Carsten made a very good talk and thanking all who had taken an active part in making the fair a success. He also made special mention of the courtesy shown by the management of the Rest Haven Hotel in serving the splendid banquet and turning over AmMmmmK Farms for Sal r9 80 acres, new improvements, good land, 12 acres alfalfa, running wat er, on gravel road, 3 miles west of Plattsmouth. 240 acres, splendid improvements. 30 acres prairie hay.

Most of the super intendents being present responded very good and had many things to offer for the betterment of their de partments. Mr. E. E. Day, superintendent of horses and mules, gave a very inter esting talk on his department. Set ting out the facts that this depart ment has not only grown in num bers but in quality to the extent that many of the exhibits were eligible to be shown at the state fair or at any national show. He also reported that harmons' always prevails in this department with the exhibitors and the superintendent of this depart ment. Mr. Henry Snell gave a very inter esting outline of the cattle exhibit in which Mr. Snell is superintendent. It seems in this department competi tion is so keen and that more inter est is taken each year. Mr. Snell re marked that those wishing to enter in this department for the next year's siow should ciate ' out telr entries that this department sti of the outstanding exh county fair.

And they feel very proud of Mr. Switzer for taking a great interest in making this parade one of the outstanding features of our county fair. At the clo: of the superintendents reports Ray Norris, D. D. Wainscott, and Elmer I!a!lstrom wanted to know how they could become members of th- Cas-s County Agricultural society. Th y were willing to join such an organization in the furthering of a ! good cause. And the meeting was j halted for just a moment while the I thre e above named gentlemen paid i over the ir $5 membership fees and 1 became full fle-dged boosters and members. Elmer Hallstrom who lives more than 700,000 people were given assistance. In September, 192S, following a tornado in northeastern Nebraska, the loss of life and property was meeting similar to the one just held j such that the Fled Cross was placed could be arranged for at some future date.

We had such a con test two years ago which went over in a big way. No doubt, there will be a change in the- classification of the educational department for lbZO. Miss Jesse Baldwin, assistant coun ty extension agent, was superinte-nd-ent of the 4-H girls club work. There were 207 entries in this department which was all the space she had for erhibit. This department has grown very much in the past few years. Miss Baldwin was very thankful for the i ertra equipment furnished in her cU- j partment for the hanging of the; at Avoca. and cashier of the Farmers State bank, whose motto is "Safety ! distributed free each evening as well ; When you wT.nt Plus Good Service." Mr. Hallstrom gave a very interesting talk from the viewpoint of the outsider Prais- i advancement cf the county ; fair for the last 10 years. He fur ther stated he could see no reason; why 50 new members should not be j ad ced to the membership. And, no doubt. Mr. Hallstrom will be a big a -set to cur membership. Mrs. Ray Norris, an outstanding exhibitor in the poultry show, gave a very interesting talk. Mrs. Norris rot only exhibits her flock of White Rocks at our county fair, but shows at many of the leading fairs of the middle west. Mrs. Norris is very well pleased with the treatment she has received at the count v fair. She also as rla-ed in cars and at least the first issue given general distribution to all homes in the city.

He states that a sur vey of the splendid relief work done Pi merit eleminated lots of work and at the same time made a b-tt r display of the club work. Miss Baldwin fe-els very proud of her department and hopes to make it better for the 19 30 fair. D. D. Wainscott. county extension agent and superintendent of the boys 4-H club work shows some very interesting and competitive livestoc by these Cass county boys. This d partment covers pig club, dairy calf, baby beef, and poultry, all of which is very outstanding. And some of i the exhibitors in the open class hate to see the 4-H club beys showing for premiums as they usually carry away the bule ribbons. Mr. Wainscott feels that there will be a better and bi ger show m the 4-H club work m 1930 than ever before. Mrs. J. W. Carter, who has been superintendent of the Baby Health department since the beginning of the fair, gave a very interesting talk on this subject. She in turn intro ducing Mrs. D. D. Wainscott. who was superintendent of that depart ment this year. There were 52 en tries in this department, and every one of these entries becomes an in dividual exhibit. The judging and scoring in this department is very particular work, as these entiles are one of the outstanding features of our fair, and those carrying away the grand champion ribbons make some very happy pare nts in uur coun ty. Mrs. Wainscott being new in our community, spoke highly of our peo ple and their attitude toward co-operation in this department. Because when the final score sheets were com pleted and sent out eve ry one seemed satisfied. The fair management feels very proud to have a lady like Mrs. Wainscott at the head of this de partment. Mrs. S. J. Ambler was called for next. She not being present the sec retary gave a report on this depart ment. In former years this depart ment had not shown very much pro gress, but for the year 1929 this de partment made a gain of about jK" 1200 and we were sorry that Mrs. Ambler could not be present to give us a better outline, and cause for the large increase in entries. In the fine arts department Mrs. Fred Eurch had one of the outstand ing exhibits of the county fair. There being 78 entries 'i the majority of these ent"Js coi g from different homes exhibitors throughout the county. This being Mrs. Burch's first year in this department and tak ing up. the work at the last minute, the fair management feels they made no imstake in selecting Mrs. Burch for this department. Mrs. Burch, be ing an artist herself in fine artsjji work, was well adapted in placing jCNj these exhibits to make a. very fine ! p3 showing. She was also very well pleased with the work, and no doubt, with, tisie will sialic this one states that the fair as a whole has by the Red Cross justifies continued interest and support, that it has prov ed indispensible in times of disastrous floods, fires, tornadoes and wars. He cites the 117 disasters in the United States and three in insural posses sions.
