The Tracy -Brown orchestra which v ill play for the American Legion dance in Plattsmouth next Tuesday night, is well known throughout this part of the country, having played in Omaha before leaving for the east two years ago. They played here for the opening dance in the new Legion building almost three years ago, which was attended by the largest dance crowd ever assembled at a dance In. Nebras ka, outside of the larger Lincoln and Omaha auditoriums and coliseums. It was the size of the crowd they played to here then that induced them to allot one of their few days' spare time while en route from Pitts burgh to play a summer engagement at The Casino, Lake Okoboji, Iowa, to playing a dance engagement here. These boys have stepped up thel ladder of musical success since they appeared here three years ago, un til today they are one of the most popu'ar orchestras of the east and during the winter season when they r)ay regularly at the William Penn hotel in Pittsburgh, they are heard over Station KDKA at frequent in tervals and are now considering a series of chain broadcasts over one of the big networks. The Tracy-Brown outfit is well known to Legionnaires. Frank Tracy, Responses are Coming in on C. of . Invitation Henry Field Among Those Signifying Intention to Attend luncheon and Bridge Dedication.

While It was known that his con dition was very serious and that he could not live very long, the death of Aulden Turk comes with great sor row to this community. He was liked by everybody. Funeral services were held from the Splain & Schnell Un dertaking parlors at Lincoln, on Tues day afternoon and the chapel was filled with friends to pay their last respects to Aulden Turk. The ser vices were conducted by Rev. Krat- zr of the Christian church of this city. In his sermon he paid high tribute to the deceased dwelling es pecially upon his kind and gentle care of his mother and or his latner His life was a life of unselfish ser vice. Rev. Kratzer's sermon was fill ed with consolation for the sorrow ing relatives and friends. After the services the remains were brought to Elmwood, where the services were conducted at the grave by the Ma sonic Order. Following is an outline of his life: -Aulden Turk was born on a farm near Elmwood, Nebraska, Sept. 18, 1867, and passed to the Great Beyond at 5:00 p. m. Sunday, April 27, 1930, having attained the age of 53 years, 7 months and 9 days. He spent his entire life In the community where he was born until April 10th, when he with his father moved to Lincoln, hoping that a com plete rest might stay the ravages of the disease from which he was suf fering and let him remain awhile longer with the father who needs his care so much. But seemingly his mis- sion here below Is finished and there remains only the hallowed memory of a dear son. The deceased was the only child of James and Josephine Turk. His mother answered the final sum mons March 1, 1925. While she liv ed her care and comfort were ever uppermost in his mind. He sacri ficed his own pleasures and desires that she might be made happy. On April 30th, 1928, his father was stricken with paralysis. Since then he has devotedly cared for him giving of his strength, not thinking of self, but doing everything that he could do to make time pass pleas antly for the stricken father. His life was one of service to others. He graduated from the Elmwood high school with the class of 1896. Then attended the State University for two years, being a member of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity. For several years he was one of Cass county's most successful teach ers, but gave up that profession to resume farming. He was a loyal and beloved member of the Elmwood Ma sonic lodge. His upright life, honest dealing and helpfulness have endear ed him to his neighbors and friends. The entire community will mourn the loss of an upright citizen, a neighbor and friend who was ever ready to lend a helping hand and deeply regret his untimely passing. Those left to cherish his memory are his father, a number of relatives living elsewhere and a host of friends. The sympathy of the entire com munity Is with the sorrowing father. Elmwood Leader-Echo. SHIFT IN F0BCE From Thursday' Dally Today the shift was made In the city forces that eliminated the office of street commissiioner as an inde pendent unit and combined its duties with that of the chief of police, Jess Elliott being given the job of being the daylight guardian cf the law for the city and also seeing that the streets are kept in good shape and the work ordered by the council or mayor carried out in the proper manner. The members of the council have viewed the matter that the greatest danger to the city from robbers or other law violaters is at night and that nn the daytime the chief can have time to look after the street work as a side line to the policing. The members of the council realiz ing the need of keeping the full force of night police on duty select ed Officer Joe Libershal, veteran of the department as the assistant chief to be a part of the night force as well as Officer Dave Tickrel. The shift In the offices and the abolishing of the office of commis sioner as a seperate unit has led to the retirement of M. B. Allen, former commissioner, and Office Joe Had raba.

If Davis Well Known Cass County People are Wedded 50 Years Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Henegar of Near Weeping Water Observe Occas sion at Their Home The farm home of Mr. and Mrs. J. H.

At noon, Mr. and Mrs. Heneger had the privilege of presiding at the long table surrounded by their chil dren and grandchildren, to enjoy one of the largest and most delicious din ners within their memory. Every thing that the women of the family could prepare was had in abundance and the table was fairly heaped with good things to eat. Two large wed ding cakes (more to "look at") beau tifully decorated, held the center of attraction, surmounted by other de licious cakes (made more to "eat") Mr. and Mrs. Heneger were pre sented with a beautiful Aladdin floor lamp as a gift from the children and they surely could not have cho sen anything more useful or more to be appreciated. When the dinner table had been cleared, the group enjoyed a mock wedding, which was planned and carried out as a surprise. Mrs. Ed Heneger as the blushing bride, was joined by the grom, Miss Gladys Heneger, by Mrs. Gordon Heneger who assister as the minister. The bride and groom were comically at tired, and the bride carried a huge bouquet of onions, while the groom wore on onion buttonniere in (her) his coat lapel. James Heneger, Jr and Howard Heneger as the flower girls, Mrs. Charles Ogan and Mrs Lee Heneger as the bride's parents and Miss Mary Heneger who plaj'ed the wedding march "Tie Me to Your Apron Strings Again." all added their bit to make the affair most comical and long to be remembered Susan L. A. Bonham and James H. Heneger were married at Taylor- ville, Tenn., April 24, 1S80, and lived in Smith county, Virginia, until 18S8 when they came to Cass county, Nebraska. They have resided near Weeping Water continuously since that time, and are well known and highly respected citizens of this com munity. Their home was blessed with ten children, two of whom have pass ed away. The eight remaining chil dren, now grown to manhood and womanhood, are also known and re spected in this community, although several have located their homes elsewhere. It is with great pleasure we con gratulate this pioneer couple on the occasion of the passing of the 50th milestone of their marriage, and we wish them many more years of health and happiness.
