Emil Kuehn, in order to beautify
their home lawn had a pool built
and a mountain composed of the
earth which came from the pool,
and which has been studded with
boulders, making a literal Rocky
mountain and which is to be plant
ed with wild flowers and with the
pool quite a pyramid in the center,
from which flows a stream of pure
water, thus making a very beautiful
setting for the beautiful lawn of
this home.
To further embelish the place and
add to its artistic beauty, TV. O.
Schewe has built a bird house and
mounted the some on a pole, thus
affording a number of families of
birds a place for a home where
things are beautiful and modern as
far as bird house and residential dis
tricts are concerned. For out of the
house is pure water in abundance
and plenty of the wilderness of na
ture with flowers and shrubs in pro
fusion and which will afford many a
happy home for the feathered bipeds.

Fishing at Meadow
On last Wednesday, April 30th. on
account of the statutes of limitations
running against the fishing for cer
tain species of fish, a number of the
citizens of Murdock were out with
hook and line, rod and anything
which they were allowed to use, and
trying for their favorite fish. Among
those who were seeking to get the
flippers were E. W. Thimgan, John
Gakerneier. IL W. Tool, A. J. Tool,
Lacey McDonald and Lemuel Mulli
ner. the latter of Lincoln, were over
to Meadow trying their luck or sklil,
just as you might term it and hav
ing a good time just the same.
Attend County Track Ileet
There were a goodly number of
tlia members of the Murdock High
school track team in attendance at
the county track meet held at Platts
mouth last Friday. They were there
a representatives of good, clean ath
letics and are a fair sample of the
excellent citizens who go to make
up patrons of the Murdock school.
Among the team and those who at
tended the meet at the county seat
were Jerry McIIugh. Turner Zink.

Dcrncmeier, Joe Marshall, ' Alfred
Rikli and Joe Guthmann.
The Elevator Has Gone
Yes. the old building used by the
Farmers elevator is gone, gone the
way of the world, and with it the
ftory. The elevator company adver
tised for bids to tear the building
('.own. which erst something. The
best price they could get wa3 $2 40.
ar.d they had to carry insurance on
those who worked at wrecking the
structure. This cost an additional
54 0. They then advertised the sal
vaged material for sale and this cost
?omethir;g. They wore able to sell
J175 worth of lumber from the build
ing and used the rest to build some
'oal sheds. Was it profitable to own
it?
Seme I-Icnntains of the Bible
VII Mt. MORI AH
Gen. 22:2; 2nd Chronicles, 3:2.
This mountain has a long and great
history. It is connected with events
that take its back to Abraham's time,
around 19G0 B. C, when God tested
Abraham's faith in calling on him to
offer up Isaak; directing him to Mt.
Moriah. where he arrived the third
dav of his'journey. What an anxious
journev this was; the ever present
thought: "This is the last I shall see
of my son; what will I tell Sarah
what has become of Isaak? Jehovah
is asking a hard thing of me, but
His will be done."
He goes confidently on, trusting
God. He has fully surrendered to
God. And God finds a way; He has
provided a substitute in a ram, that
was clese at nand, when needed.
That is God's way. The test was a
revere ore, but Abraham comes out
the victor. The journey back is a
ha pry o"e. So every follower of
Christ, comes sooner or later to Mt.
Moriah. This experience of Abra
ham was never forgotten. He calls
the place "Jehovah jireh" meaning
"In the Mount of God it shall be
scon."
Later, we find King David buying
this place from a stranger Oman,
by name. It had teen used as a
threshing floor, but was now being
dedicated as a site for the first tem
ple for Israel, Solomon being the
builder.
The scenes at the dedication of the
temple were so impressive that they
were recalled by the older people at
the dedication of the second temple.
It was a sight never to be forgotten.
There was a vested choir, all dress
ed in white, with cymbals and psal
tries and harps, besides 120 priests
with trumpets. They were so well
trained that all the instruments and
voices were as one voice and the cli
max" came when the hymn of praise
sounded forth, that Jehovah appear
ed in his glory and filled the house.
And to this day, the multitudes go
ing to see the ruins of the destroyed
temple on Mount Moriah. Since pen
teccst religion has become universal,
and is not localized in the temple of
the jews. The mountains of the
Bible teach us wonderful lpssons.

First 90 Cities
in Census Show
Gain of 22.5
Growth of United States in Previous
Decade Reached Average
of 14.9 Per dent
Washington Growth of 22.5 per
cent in population during the last
10 years is shown by Iho first 90
cities of 10,000 or more inhabitants
for which enumerations in the 1930
census have been announced.
This first indication of the trend
of the country's population is fur
ni?V.ed by a compilation made by the
Associated Press from the official pre
liminary announcements of supervis
or? throughout the country.
The country's growth as a whole
in the decade ending with 1920 was
14.9 per cent, while in the previous
decade ending with 1910 it was 21.0
per cent. Growth of the country's
urban population, that is people liv
ing on places of 2500 or more in
habitants, showed an increase of
25.7 per cent in the decade ending
with 1920, and for the previous de
cade it was 3 4,8 rer cent.
Only one of the country's large
cities has reported thus far. It is At
lanta, which reported 266,557 per
sons, an increase of 35.6 per cent
over 1920.
Of the cities thus far reporting, the
largest percentages of increase have
been shown by Ventura. Calif., with
1S6.3 per cent; Lakeland. Fla., with
130.2 per cent, and Decatur, Ga.. with
121.2 per cent. Cities showing 50
per cent or more increase in the 10
years are mostly in the South and
West.
None with that large an increase
has been reported yet in the East;
Half a dozen cities have shown de
creases frcm 10 years ago. Three of
these are in the East, including Fall
River, Mass.. which -showed a decline
cf 5.3 per cent and now has 114,345
pen-ons, and three are in the South
west. There were 746 cities of 10,000 or
more population in 1920. Cities in
that category are expected to show
a considerable increase in the pres
ent census. Several already have en
tered the 10,000-class, including
Longview, Wash., which was not in
existence in 1920, and now has 10,
491 persons.
CHICAGO CRIME IS ASSAILED
Chattanooga, Tenn. The same
people who Friday heard Frank J.
Loesch praise Chicago for its "physi
cal, and spiritual advantages," Fri
day night heard him assault the "or
ganized crime and corrupt politics"
ofi his home city.
"The organized criminal could not
maintain himself anywhere for a
month after the commission of a ma
jor crime if he were not protected by
some influential police official and
corrupt politician who may or may
not hold office," Mr. Loesch told the
ocncluding session of the University
of Chattanooga's institute of justice.
At a luncheon session of the in
stitute Friday he said "Chicago's
crime record sensationalized thruout
the world, fairly obscures the fact
that it is the wonder city of all time."
CUT U. S. DEBT TO $16,303,734,000
Washington, May 2. At the end
of April the American public debt
amounted to $16,393,734,000, a re
duction of $802,000,000 in a year
and $10,200,000,000 since the peak
Aug. 31, 1919, the treasury revealed
Friday.
In spite of the fact the treasury
widely advertises maturities of gov
ernment issues, in some cases of Li
berty bond3 having resorted to radio
talks, there still i3 $28,477,080 of
the debt outstanding upon which in
terest has ceased. The fact that in
vestors are so careless as to lose hun
dreds cf thousands of dollars an
nually In interest is a question that
haa puzzled the treasury for many
years.

Business Warned
to Treat Fairly
with the Public
Legislative Restrictions Are Shown
Sure to Follow on Fail
ure to Do So
Washington In the keynote ad
dress at the opening of the general
session of the eighteenth annual
meeting of the United States Cham
ber of Commerce, William Butter
worth, president, warned American
business to keep faith with the pub
lic under penalty of restrictive and
retaliatory state or federal legisla
tive action.
Mr. Butterworth's address marked
the formal opening of the session
which had been preceded by meetings
and a banquet of the American sec
tion of the International Chamber of
Commerce. Following his address the
meeting resolved Itself into six round
tables, discussing what lies ahead in
the respective fields of banking, con
struction, exporting, industrial de
velopment, inland waterway develop
ment and the natural resources In
dustries. "May I say to you in all candor,"
Mr. Butterworth said in his speech,
"that I am convinced that if our
future near or remote holds in
store a season of business baiting at
the hands of lawmakers or other gov
ernmental authorities, that relatively
small part of the business commun
ity which, cither through short
sightedness or disregard of its larger
interest, breaks the canons of fair
play to which the vast majority of
the business community gives hearty
allegiance, will be responsible.
"On the other hand, I am firmly
convinced that as long as our public
understands that business, itself
realizes that it holds its tenure of
liberty on good hehavior, the public,
realizing its partnership in the eco
nomic enterprises of the Nation, will
not raise the hue and cry for re
prisals which will abridge a legit
mate business liberty."
Mr. Butterworth recapitulated the
activities of the national chamber in
the past 3"ear and said the present
meeting would give an opportunity
of appraising current business condi
tions, and the purpose of business it
self. "Business has turned a critical eye
upon itself," he said. "Out of this
frauk self-appraisal, a fundamental
fact emerges in its proper perspec
tive, and that fundamental fact is
that the primary object of business
is not social uplift or, indeed, the
fostering of the arts and sciences,
but that it is, now, as it has always
been in reality profits."
From this primary object, how
ever, Mr. Butterworth argued. Cow
other considerations which have di
rect Jiearing upon the whole national
wellbeing. A policy of enlightened
selfinterest demands a "sane social
point of view." Failure to heed re
sponsibilities, he warned, will bring
reprisals.
As to what lies ahead of business
he declared: "There can be nothing
ahead that bodes lasting ill if we
keep the r'ght sort of leadership at
the helm a leadership of onitiative
and courage and imagination, a
lerdership, in fine, which predicates
policies upon a broad foundation of
articulated facts, a leadership with
courage to urge the application cf
measures that prudence and common
sense dictate, when and where
needed." Melvin A. Taylor, president cf the
Chicago First National Bank, and
authority on reparations, defended
the Bank for International Settle
ments frcm charges that it was the
agency designed to involve the Uni
ted States "in some kind of a myster
ious financial obligarchy."
The primary purpose of the bank,
he sjiil. is to collect and distribute
reparations. In its financial traneca
tions, he said, the United States is
completely protected. Quoting from
Article 20 of the bank's charter, he
said that this prevented the bank
from carrying out any financial oper
ation on a given market without the
consent of "the central bank or cen
tral banks directly concerned."
Nothing interfering with the finan
cial sysem in New York, he declar
ed, could be carried on, for example,
without the consent of the governor
of the Reserve bank in that area.
SKIP OBJECT OF ANXIETY
Sault Ste., Marie, Ont. Hard
aground on a shoal a quarter mile
north of Parisienne Island light, and
with a storm sweeping Lake Super
ior, the steamer Munising of the
Cleveland Cliffs Iron company W2S
the object of anxiety Friday in ship
ping circles. Two other ore carriers
and a lighter went to the aid of the
Munising when she went aground
Friday morning, but reported they
were forced to run behind the island
to ride out the storm.
The crew of the Munising were
believed still aboard her. There is
still considerable ice floating in the
lake and it was feared that this, driv
en against the stricken vessel, would
further imperil her. The storm
sweeping the lake was of almost gale
proportions and had stepped naviga
tion. SIX FLIERS LEAP AS

PAYS $5 TO LEAP
IN AIR TO DEATH
Redwood City, Cal., May 2. John
Vucasovich, 4 0-year-old war vet
eran, took his life Friday in ultra
modern manner.
A physical wreck as the result
of injuries sustained in the world
war, and his wife, an expectant
mother, occupying a cot in Letter
man general hospital, Vucasovich
journeyed to Mills field airport near
here and after much thought paid
$5 to Pilot Walter Olsen, a commer
cial aviator, to take him up for his
first and last sky ride.
Shortly after the take-off and
while approximately 500 feet in the
air, Vucasovich leaped from the scar
ing plane and crashed to the ground,
dead.
Nebraska May
Rate a Gain in
Radio Stations
More Power to Be Allocated State,
if Couzens Bill Passes; Goes
Orsr p. Term.
Washington. May 2. Drastic re
allocation of Nebraska radio stations
far more sweeping than the changes
made two years ago by the federal
radio commission are in prospect up
on passage of the revised Couzens
communications bill now being con
sidered in the senate interstate com
merce committee.
The committee probably will not
report the measure at this session. It
has made public the bill's provisions,
however, in order to assure the wid
est discussion of its features. This Is
preliminary to a concerted movement
at the next session cf congress for
its passage.
See Gain in Power.
Nebraska wuold gain in radio fa
cilities as a result of the proposed
reallocation. At present, the country
is divided into five zones. The Davis
amendment directs that power, chan
nel and time shall be divided as
equally as possible among these
zones. The present commission has
been unable to accomplish this with
respect to power.
As a result, Nebraska has .731 per
cent of the national power, whereas
on a population basis it is entitled
to 1,953 per cent. Entitled to the
same percent of licenses and chan
nels it now has 1,531 per cent of the
total licenses and 1,946 per cent of
the frequencies.
Under the new plan established In
the proposed bill, this system would
be abolished. The new communica
tion commission would first take 25
per cent of the radio facilities, in
cluding power, channels, and time
on the air, and give each state one
forty-eighth.
Creates New Commission.
It would then take an additional
25 per cent and distribute it among
the 48 states on the basis of their
geographical area. The remaining
50 per cent then would be distri
buted with regard to population.
This would result in more stations
in Nebraska according to present in
dications, although no accurate pro
phecy is yet possible. It would cer
tainly result in more stations for the
country at large.
The bill established a new com
munications commission similar to
the interstate commerce body. It
would have jurisdiction over tele
phone and telegraph as well as ra
dio. World-Herald.

Wheat Market
Crisis Now Over,
Legge Believes
Farm Board's Action Avoided Drastic
Slump, Federal Farm Board
Chairman Declares
Washington The first phase of
the Government's gigantic operations
in the wheat market under the
agency of the Federal Farm Board is
coming to a conclusion, and Alex
ander Legge, chairman, in a revie w
of the major factors, believes th.iL
th worst storms of the critical per
iod have been weathered.
Through the Grain Stabllzatiou
Corporation the agency set up t
buy and ? 11 wheat and through the
farmer-owned National Grain Cor
poration the marketing agency ( f
farm co-operatives backed by the
Government approximately 5 0.0 (mi. -000
bushels of wheat have either
been purchased outright or secured
for delivery May 1. This so-ealb d
"future" wheat is now pouring its
golden stream into elevators all over
the West.
The Government, through its pr -tegor,
came to the rescue of the
wheat farmer undr the extraordin
ary powers cf the Farm Act and pur
chased this wheat at from around ?1
to $1.10 and over a bu?hel in one t f
the greatest government-backed pur
chasing campaigns in history. Mr.
Legge holds that this step saved the
market from a drastic and destruc
tive slump.
The problem that remains now m
to get rid of this same wheat at a
price equal to or greater than th: t
which was paid for it. If this is doi
then "stablization" will have been a
success.
Discussing the situation at iho
present juncture, Mr. Legge explain
ed that the great question of May 1
storage facilities has neen soie;i.
This was a matter which critics of
his policy alleged would bring tl:.-
board to grief. He announced that
William G. Kellogg, head of the
Farmers National Grain Corporation,
had been succeeded by George S.
Milnor. Previously Mr. Milnor was
head of the Graia Stablization Cor
poration the emergency buying and
selling agency authorized in extreme
cases to take a surplus off the mar
ket. For the present he will handle
both the new work and the old.
Mr. Legge said the trend of th
Grain Corporation's policy has Ih ( ii
toward promoting direct sales from
grain growers to millers; in oth r
words, from producer to processor,
thereby cutting out the expensive- in
tervening steps of merchandising.
The chairman explained thaf tl "
Farmers Grain Corporation, to which
Mr. Milnor goes as the new heal,
"had made their expenses, and per
haps a little over," in handling grain
from their member farm co-operatives
to the millers. The amount
handled approximated 2.500,00
bushels.
"They are a little better off than
they were last fall." Mr. Legge said
in summarizing a'l that has hap
pened in the period of Mr. Kellog's
incumbency.
Some of the 50,000,000 bushels of
wheat is now being exported. Mr.
Legge explained. Behind all pre.-ent
moves is the effort cf the board to
