The judgment of people who observe the way
business goes with an institution, and whose
observations are not made from a selfish stand
point are generally correct in their diagnosis.
People all over are talking about the very fine
success the Farmers Co-Operative Oil Com
pany of Nehawka are having. And why not?
It is patent to every one that their manner of
business is rapidly meeting with SUCCESS
wherever tried. Try some of their products
like Gasoline and Motor Oil and you will
become a regular purchaser.

Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the

after which the Legionnaires and
other participants in the day's ob
servance will repair to Oakwood cem

which they will proceed to the beau

Most News and Twice a Week
The Journal reaches you twice a
week instead of only once, as do the
other papers published in this coun
ty and nearby counties. Don't you
think it best to have this twice-a-week
news service, especially when it
doesn't cost a penny more than the
other kind? And in addition to this
feature, you get by far the most news
of that published by any paper in
this territory. Eight separate depart
ments are conducted for the benefit
of our rural readers by a field man,
who spends the entire week around
over the county gathering news. So
you get not only the important coun
ty seat news, but the local news right
from your own locality when you
take the Semi-Weekly Journal. And
the cost is only $2 per year the
same as charged for ordinary week
ly newspapers with four pages of
"patent" print. Hand your money
to the Journal field man and have
your name put on the list. Or, if you
are now a subscriber and not paid
up in advance, just remit direct to
the office or hand same to the field
man.
Peter Opp who has been making
his home with his son, John Opp and

He was taken to Union by hi3 son.
John Opp and wife on last Tuesday
noon.
Judge A. II. Duxbury gave a inot
interesting talk on San Salvador.
The main feature of the luncheon
was the address given by Judge
James T. Begley on the spirit of
memorial day, the impressive les
sons that were derived from the ob
servance as a grateful acknowledg
ment of the sacrifices that had been
made in the making of the nation.
This being the close of the school
year. Frederick Wehrbein and Car
roll Sutton, the two high school
boys who have been the honorary
members of Rotary for the month
of May were called upon and gave
a very fine response on their im
pressions and appreciation of notary
and their association with the members.
The club gave the boys a very fine
farewell, the remarks by E. II. Wos-
cott to the two boys being very im
pressive and filled with inspiring
ideal for the young men to chose as
their guide in life.
Unexpected Meeting of Former Platts

Editor Journal,
Plattsmouth, Nebr.
How many times since my depar
ture from Plattsmouth in 1902, and
particularly since my arrival in Se
attle on December 30, 1928, have I
had ample proof that the world is
not so large after all; that no mat
ter where one may go one may not
be surprised to meet accidentally or
intentionally, dear personal friends of
long ago.
Today, being a little lonely and in
a somewhat reminiscent mood, it oc
curred to me that some of the old
timers in your city might welcome a
diversion from the every day news
of modern life by reading a few lines
relative to some of the former resi
dents of Plattsmouth, who might still
be there except for circumstances
which they might not have been able
to control.
With out intending to be too per
sonal, I will go back a few years to
relate a circumstance which was so
forcibly brought to my mind upon re
ceiving a visit from two of those with
me at the time. It was during the lat
ter part of the winter of 1879 that I
received an invitation to an oyster
supper given by Mrs. Eugene Sage of
Plattsmouth in honor of her cousin.
Miss Eunice Sage. Others in attend
ance beside Mi.-s Sage were Miss Anna
Dakin, Miss Emma Herold, Frank
linger and Llewellyn Moore. Of this
"sextette" four are still among the
living. A few years following the
gathering. Miss Herold became the
wife of Frank Ilager and Miss Sasro
became my help-mate, but passed to
reward October 2. 192 8; Mr. Moore
passed away at his home in Texas
several years ago; Miss Dakin, now
Mrs. White, is a resident of Sawtelle,
California, and Mr. and Mrs. Hager
are residents of Lincoln, Nebraska.
Yesterday, however, after 51 years,
over half a century since tlie pleas
ant evening mentioned, who should
call at our door for a visit with my
self and my daughter and family, but
Frank Hager and wife, Emma (Her
old) Hager, accompanied by their
son, Robert, and one of his three
daughters, and to say that the visit
was altogether too short would be
putting it mild.
Mr. and Mrs. Hager have been
spending the winter with their
daughter. Mrs. Fern (Hager) Farn
ham, of Long Reach. California, and
on? of their sons in Los Angeles, but
have been in Tacoma for a time with
their son, Robert, who is coach for
a basketball team there, and who
! is also an experienced aviator.
And it is a wonder if tne ears oi
some of the older residents of Platts
mouth didn't burn while we talked
i about them, but. many of whom had
no opportunity, presumably having
paused to their reward. In fact I
doubt if there remains a single one
of those who were inhabitants of
Plattsmouth during my first stay
there, which occurred during the
su-.iur.er of 1858. My next residence
was from 1S73 to 1SS0, and again
from 1S9S to 1902. Rut I hope to
once again see the "old town" and
the new bridge, which I presume
they constructed because poor old
deaf Doty had died or became too
incapacitated to longer paddle across
the muddy current.
With regards to old friends.

A SMALLER WORLD
Telephone communication is mak
ing the world smaller.
A little more than three years ago
the first commercial radio telephone
channel between' Great Britain and
North America was opened. There
are now four such channels, and the
demand for facilities is steadily in
creasing.
Last April, telephone service was
inaugurated between North and
South America, thus linking the 20,-
000,000 telephones in the United
States, as well as these in Cuba, Mex
ico and Canada, with several of the
principal countries of the Soutn.
Practically every important center
of population in the world can now
be reached by telephone from any
home or office in this country. Tne
telephone has given the old saying,
"It's a small world after all," a real
meaning.
