Frank Tracy (at left)) and James N. Brown, who are bringing their
famous Tracy-Ercwn Columbia Recording Orchestra to this city to play
for American Legion dance next Tuesday night, May 6th.
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,

Aulden Turk,
Long Time Resi
dent of County
Sketch of Life of Loved Resident of
Near Elmwood for His Lifetime
Burial at Old Home.
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.

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. ENTERTAINS TEACHERS

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. Heneger was the scene of a very
happy family gathering Sunday,
April 27th, when all of their chil
dren, with exception of Harvey Hene
ger and family of Veteran, Wyo.,
gathered at their home in honor of
their parent's golden wedding anni
versary, which occurred on Thursday
April 24th.
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. Weeping Water

Method of Aiding in Raising Stand
ard of Cream and Milk to
Be Held Wednesday
Getting the most from cream is
a matter of keeping it In such a
condition of purltj', after It leaves
the seperator, as will insure the
producer securing the highest mar
ket price for the butter fat.
This important matter will be the
keynote of the cooling tank demon
stration that County Agent D. I).
Wainscott will hold at the John
Hobscheidt farm, two miles south of
the Murray corner on Wednesday,
May 7th, starting at 2 o'clock in
the afternoon.
The keeping of the cream at the
proper temperature greatly retards
the development of bacterial life, and
trials have shown that cream quick
ly cooled will keep sweet longer than
when cooled gradually.
In demonstration of this fact the
showing will be made next Wednes
day'with the most practical and eco
nomical manner of quickly cooling
the cream and maintaining low tem
perature for a period of days, is by
keeping the cans containing th
cream immersed in tanns inrougn
which a stream of cold water is con
tinually passing.
Everyone who is Interested in
getting the most out of their cream
or milk and the advancement of the
dairy industry is urged to be in at
tendance at the meeting at the Hob
scheidt home.
