S Vr. parerl tn the iDt-erest of the People of M
Murray Resi
dents Return
from the East
Mr. and Mrs. William Spore r Have
Wonderful Experience in Trip
Through the East.
Or. last Friday, Mr. and Mrs. Wm.
Sporer who have been in the east
t-ince July 7th, returned home and
were pleased to see the old home town
i-f Murray and the familiar faces.
They departed on July 7th, and stay
ed that night in Kansas City where
they changed cars and the following
day went to St. Louis, and the third
night was spent at Vincennce, Ind.
The fourth night out which was
Saturday they spent at Columbus,
Ohio. Here they spent the Sunday
Mid also Sunday night. Mrs. Sporer
sttended the Christian Bible school
and church service.
At Columbus they enjoyed a visit
with an aunt of Mrs. Sporer, Mrs.
Ida Fields and two cousins by the
name of Danihar and where they sure
enjoyed the visit very much. With
the beginning of the following week
they went to Martinsburg, where
they spent a day. While at the city
of Vincennce, Ind., they visited the
home of William Henry Harrison, one
of the presidents of the United States,
la passing from Ohio to Martinsburg,
W. Va., they also touched Pennsyl
vania, at the point where the three
states meet. Their next stop was
Washington, where they met Presi
dent Hoover and had a very friendly
chat with him. They also visited the
house and senate, and Mrs. Sporer
was in the galleries the day of the
approving of the London Pact. They
went up in the Washington monu
ment which was 555 feet high and
gave them a view of the whole city.
They were greatly impressed with the
magnificance and grandness of the
nation's capitol. They then visited
Baltimore, Philadelphia and New
York in rotation. At New York they
visited the stock exchange and then
left for the town was too big for
them. They were greatly impressed
with the Brooklyn bridge.
Fiojm New .York they went to St.
John. Canada, but not stopping, "hav
ing passed through the Green moun
tains of Vermont. They went on to
Montreal where they visited for some
time, and then went on to Ottawa,
the capitol of the Dominion govern
ment. This place impressed them as
being quaint and out of line with
the western world, for it harked back
to Old England and had different
styles of architecture. After a pro
longed visit there they wen on to
Toronto, and visited Xew York again.
Then they went to Niagara Falls,
which they thought a pretty wet
place, for the water was running all
the time. They also visited at Buf
falo, N. Y. and then went to Detroit,
where they visited the Ford Motor
plant and saw where they were able
to mo' " frty-edd cars in a minute.
They then stopped at Chicago,
where they visited many of the in
teresting places. One place which
struck Mr. Sporer and caused him to
miss a good ball game was the Chi
cago Beard of Trade. He became so
interested in watching the trading
and the ways of doing it that he en
tirly forgot the ball game, and he is
a ball fan at that. The next stop was
Omaha, but only for a short time, and
then home, sweet, sweet home, their
own beloved Murray, Nebraska.

Egyptian Bondage
Since Ancient History has been Looked
upon as the Result of Slavery
Money is power that means freedom. The lack of it
means bondage. No one wishes to be a slave, subject
to the dictations of others, yet this is what one is doing
if he is not laying aside money each week or month.
You begin to have power and influence the moment
you begin to save. This bank offers you aid, con
venience and safety in joining the ranks of savers.

ricnic dinner and returned through

very much. The many friends of
Mrs. Churchill are pleased at her im
provement. Lost the Main Road ,
A bunch of the residents of Mur
ray were over to Shenandoah a few
cays since and enjoyed the sights of
that magic city, seeing all the sights
and also enjoying the radio broad
casting from the two stations. They
were rather loath to leave the Won
derland, but -as the shades of even
ing were approaching they decided to
start for home. One of the party, a
good looking young man with a small
family and by the way himself a
handsome man, struck out for Ne
braska, depending on instinct and re
lying somewhat on his trusty car, in
tending to cross the road at Nebras
ka City.
The road seemed long and not so
very familiar and just as the lights
hegi-.n to twinkle they found that
they were in Hamburg. An hour was
coi-umed in retracing their way to
Nebraska City. They say they en
jnyed the trip Lack as well as the
ride to Hamburg. At that they were
no worse off than a couple who re
side near Nehavka and last summer
went, and as the wife said recently,
had to go via the south pole to get
to Shenandoah.
It looks like the roads should be
marked in Iowa.
Attended Bible School

find stayed for a time at a community
Bible school heme, but finally asking
E bcut it, found that it was closed dur
ing the hot weather. She however,
found a Mission school, with about
forty present. The fourth Sunday,
she attended at Toronto, Canada, and
the fifth and last Sunday out, she
attended at Schoolcraft, Michigan,
the place where Ehe was born, and
there had to make half of the Sunday
school, for she and a cousin were the
on! j- scholars. However, she made
good her promise and was credited in
the contest which was held at the
home Bible school at Murray.
Visiting in the West

their son, John, departed on last Sun
day for the west, where they wili
s:ppnd some two or three weeks and

Baseball Game Tesa
The ball game last Sunday was
one of very tense feelings and was
more of a hostile meeting than a
pleasant ball game. The visiting
team, which was the Reitz Radio
team, of Omaha, must have gotten
out of bed on the wrong foot that
morning for they were sure scrappy.

Corn 47 in
Southeastern
Part of State
State and Federal Departments Make
Report on the General Crop
Conditions of State.
The condition of corn on August
15 was 72. S according to the mid
month report of bankers to the State
and Federal Division of Agricultural
Statistics. About 78 of the wheat
and Sl or the oats are threshed.
Yields of small grain are somewhat
higher than indicated August 1.
Prices of farm commodities are high
er than indicated on July 15. Mois
ture supply is much better than a
month ago.
Prospects for corn have lowered
since July 15 when bankers reported
a condition of 84.6. The moisture
supply is still somewhat short
throughout the state, although the
supply is nearly sufficient in the
central, east central and southwest
ern districts. The condition of corn
varies from 98 in the northwest
ern counties to 47 in the south
eastern district. The central coun
ties are favorable wtih a condition
of S9. Corn has suffered consid
erable permanent damage but rains
during the ten days previous to Aug
ust 15 and later have relieved the
condition considerably. Although
corn condition has lowered by about
11 since July 15 according to
bankers, rains saved corn from fur
ther damage which do weather could
have caused 'during the first two
weeks in August.
Corn has withstood dry weather
and extreme temperatures much bet
ter than expected. Good supplies cf
subsoil moisture received during
April and May helped to withstand
the shortage during June and July
Corn conditions are spotted with the
poorer -crops in the southeastern
counties. A few northeastern coun
ties are also reported in the poor
class. Unfavorable weather stunted
corn and hindered pollination in
many counties but there is much
good corn in the state.
Small grain yields appear favor
able. Bankers estimate the average
yield of wheat at 20.5 bu. per acre
which is 1.2 bu. higher than the
August 1 estimated yield. Oats yield
is estimated at 33.0 bu. per acre ard
spring wheat at 17.1 bu. Most coun
ties report that a sufficiency or a
surplus of corn, small food grains
alfalfa hay and wild hay may bs ex
pected in their localities. Approxi
mately 7S of the winter wheat and
81 of the cats have been threshed
to date.
An average of the replies from
bankers indicate that only G" as
many cattle will be put on feed this
winter as were fed last season, while
they estimate the number of sheep
to be fed at 9 as many as last
vcar. Estimates are closely in pro
portion to the expected yields of corn
for the various counties.
Farm pricss show general improve
ment. Prices of all commodities cov
ered in the report have shown some
increase since July 15. Present prices
are estimated as follows: corn 7c
per bu; wheat G7c per bu; oats 3Sc
per bu; alfalfa hay per ton, $9.6S;
hogs per cwt. $8.28; butterfat per
lb. 33c and eggs 14c per dozen. Bank
ers estimate the farm price of grass
fat cattle as $6.59 per cwt and grain
fat cattle at $8.79 per cwt. The gain
in price during the past 30 days for
the above commodities are quoted
as follows: corn 15c per bu.; wheat
6c per bu; oats 4c per bu; alfalfa
hay $1.34 per ton; hog3 36c per
cwt; butterfat 6c per lb., and eggs
lc per dozen.
Report from bankers indicate that
less alfalfa will be cut for seed this
year than last. Bankers estimate the
acreage to b only 65 of that cut
for seed last season.
EICH LODE OF GOLD DISCOVER
ED AGAIN AFTER MANY YEARS
Custer, S. D.. Aug. 19. The lost
gold lode of Calamity creek, near
which gold was first discovered in
1874 by Custer's scouting party, has
been relocated by "Silent" Jess Har
rnis. old-time prospector, and Walt
Davis.
The lode is in the nature of a
fk-sue vein of quartz between gra
phite and schist walls. The quartz
is shot with nodules and flecks of
gold. Analysis by the assay depart
ment of the School of Mines at
Rapid City reveals that the lode will
bring nearly $4,000 a ton.
According to the old story a wolf
trapper in the employ of Frank
Walsh, a cattleman who later be
came sheriff of Custer county, was
hunting in the neighborhood cf
Calamity creek. One day, tired of
his work, he idly picked away at a
piece of white quartz. Suddenly the
quartz broke, revealing a good sized
nugget of coarse gold.
The wolf trapper hurried to Cus
ter and told his pals. Matt and Jack
Daley, about it. The Dalys grub
staked the trapper to work the claim.
He knew little of mining, but the
dirt was so rich that he rigged up
his outfit, pounded the ore in a big
iron container with a crude mallet,
and in this manner was able to
grind out and wash dust to the value
of $50 a day. He was offered 60
thousand dollars for the claim while
he was working it, but refused.
Later when the vein petered out he
was sorry he had not accepted the
offer. He spent months trying to
find it again, but was unsuccessful.
He finally abandoned the search and
the claim reverted to the govern
ment. A number of prospectors have, at
various times, hunted for the rich
gold lode, but none were successful
until the recent discovery by Harris.
