and has been working at the store
notwithstanding he is not feeling
very well. But with the work to do
and Phil a lover of work, he could
not resist the temptation to work.
Mastered the Situation.
With the extra amount of business
which has recently come to the Clark
Hotel, the management found it not
convenient to continue to serve din
ner to the-Union business men's club
and so as the Methodist church had
served last week, and the Baptist
ladies did not care to furnish the
dinner, C. II. Whitworth, who is a
hustler, took it on himself to pro
vide a dinner, even on short notice,
and so had Lannie Meade provide
a luncheon at the show house, con
sisting of three courses, the first bo
ing sandwiches, the second sanwiches
and the third and last course, ice
cream and rolls. There were twenty
at the luncheon and all well satis
fied with the fare. Mr. Whitworth
is entitled to much credit for his
hustling and thus providing a din
ner and not hindering the routine
of the dinners. Just where the next
meal will be held will have to be
waited to be seen. It was voted to
pay Noah Parker for some hauling
which he had done for the club at
the time of the entertainment. The
matter of assisting the Red Cross, as
they had been compelled to give to
assist the tornado sufferers and a
call had been on the branch here
and Miss Agusta Robb who put the
roll call over so nicely had been
asked to receive what any one wish
ed to give, to make up the amount
which was paid out on the call. A
contract for thirteen weekj of free
movies had been made, and the set
tlement of the dates for having the
matter was taken up the place select
ed being the former office of Dr. W.
II. Ackenbach, with the curtain on
the east side of the home of Mrs.
Clara Davis.
Secures Electric Milker.
Ben Martin who has some twenty
eight fine Jersey cows all giving
milk and seven more to freshen
soon, purchased himself a DeLaval
electric milker, which milks a cow
from three to three and a half min
utes, or the twenty-eight in just one
hour and thirty-five minutes. This
is two hours less time than it takes
two men to do the milking and they
have to milk twice a day which
means for them a saving of eight
hours work. Should any one desire
to save some time on the milking a
large number of cows they had bet
ter come and see how this machine
operates. Mr. Martin sells his milk
to the Farmers Cooperative Creamery
at Plattsmouth and which goes into
the varied products of this company,
which is the very finest, of butter,
milk, cream, buttermilk, and cream
ed cottage cheese.
The Bible Contest.
The third annual Bible contest,
embracing all the territory in Otoe,
Cass and Sarpy counties, was held at
the Methodist church of this village
Sunday afternoon, with Mr. R. W.
Eaton of Omaha, in charge.
The medals were awarded wholly
on the written work of the contes
tants, but an oral examination was
also given while the judges were
grading the papers. The contest is
divided in four groups according to
age and are called the adult, sen
ior, intermediate and junior depart
ments, there being gold and silver
medals awarded for the first and sec
ond winners in each group. The
gold medals were won by Mrs. Cal
vin Snyder, Mennenite School, Weep
ing Water; Miss Helen James, Meth
odist, Wyoming; Miss Rutheda Dy
sart, Baptist, Union, and Miss Jane
Chappell. Presbyterian, Bellevue.
The silver medals were awarded to
Mrs. E. J. Mougey, Methodist, Union;
Miss Katuerine McCarroll, Metho-
dist, Union: Miss Joy Whitworth,
Methodist, Union. Miss Alpha u.
Peterson acted as secretary, assisted
by Mrs. Ivan Balfour and the judges
were Mr. William t. wens, air
Sterna, of Bellevue and Mr. W.
Lave of Weeping Water, all of whom
are to be compamenieu tor tneir ex
cellent work. The next meeting wn
ho held In Bellevue at the Presby
11

own use.
The ladles of the R. N. A. met at

which were decorated in blue iris and
tink snowballs.
After the dessert of ice cream.
cake and coffee, neighbor Clark call

fraternal organizations in America.
Our next meeting will be June 7th.
Will each member please come, and
bring along a newer and happier
thought.
Union Woman's Club.
The Union Woman's Club met at
he library last Tuesday afternoon.
and in spite of the downpour of
rain, twelve ladies braved the wea
ther and were indeed fortunate in
ttending as this was one of the most
nteresting meetings of the year.
Meeting was called to order by the
president, reading a passage of scrip-
ure after which the minutes of the
last meeting were read by the sec
retary and approved. The date for
he annual club picnic was set for
May 20th. A report from the library
board was then given. The ladies
f the Women's club who also spon
sor the library, are indeed very
grateful for the kindness shown
hem by the village board, who have
greed to pay the rent and expense
of fuel for the room in which the
ibrary is located and also $1 per
week for librarian. They also are
ery grateful to the bank for paying
for the lights, which all helps to
make this a very comfortable little
room to aid in serving the public
n their reading material.
The leader for the afternoon, Mrs.
Ray Frans, then took charge of the
meeting and had as her topic "The
New Homemaker." She first asked
each lady present to give the name of
her favorite lullaby, its composer
and author and also the words. A
splendid variety of these were given
and it was very interesting indeed
to recall many old songs that all had
enjoyed years ago. Second each lady
was asked how she spent her leis
ure time, and each one told of many
good ways that she used this time
to very good advantage. Then third
each lady was asked what her "hob
by" was, and every one as they re
sponded showed that there are many
types of ambition among women es
pecially. Then last, but not least,
we were asked, "Why are you glad
that you are a Homemaker?" To
this question every lady willingly
responded, for home meant every
thing and each one agreed that
homemaking was the most honorable
task a woman could accomplish. Mrs.
Frans then told of many ways of con
ducting a home. She said "It is a
problem of give and take," if a home
is to accomplish what it stands for
to each family. Co-operation, com
radeship, efficient use of leisure
time, eliminating all unnecessary
things from the home, careful ar
rangement of furnishings and labor
savers are all needed to make a home,
a real home. Very delicious refresh
ments were then served by the lad
ies of the library board after which
each one "paddled" her way to Home
Sweet Home. ,
