Mr. Ryan declared freight class

The all-day W. C. T. U. institute
held at the M. E. church last Friday
proved a delightful and interesting
affair. It was arranged by our local
organization of which Mrs Bert Mc
Nealy is president. Mrs. Emma Ol
sen. of Weeping Water, director of
the Institute, was chairman of the
meeting.
A devotional in the morning was
conducted by the pastor. Rev. Robert
D. Murnhree. and Mrs. Hattie Cruse
of Eagle, favored those present with
a beautiful vocal solo.
Six unions of the county were rep
resented as follows: Alvo, Eagle,
Elmwood. Plattsmouth, Weeping Wa
ter and Louisville. Mrs. Fred Gor

ident, was present and gave a splen
did talk. She had a map of Cass
county and expects to put a flag on
the map for every union which has
a net gain of five. This will stimu
late the effort to gain new mem
bers and the speaker suggested that
the members write to the officers of
our own town, our county and the
state, praising them when they do
a meritorious act.
Mrs. E. Sundstrom, of Louisviyle,
and a very active member, is county
director of motion pictures and gave
an instructive and interesting talk
of her work and her observations.
This was one of the outstanding num
bers of the day's program and the
speaker received many compliments
upon the completeness with which
she had covered the subject.
Mrs. Genevieve Hayes, of Platts

teresting from a different viewpoint.
Mrs. Hayes also sang a song, "It's in
the Constitution and It's There to
Stay." This was very enjoyable and
especially well rendered.
Mrs. Esther Allen, of Wabash, gave
a fine talk on Publicity. This was
the last number before lunch. Rev.
Catzer, M. E. pastor from Elmwood,
delivered a noon tide prayer
NEIGHBORS
When you came into the
world, it was the neighbors
who cheered your parents by
praising your first smile.
Now that you are a man,
with a citizen's responsibili
ties, it is your neighbors who
help carry these responsibili
ties and who stand by to help
you in your defeats and to
cheer you in your victories.
When you die, your neigh
bors will shed a few tears, and
sing a few songs, and say a
prayer for you.
When you have a favor to
bestow, even though it be only
the favor of your patronage,
wouldn't it be good sportsman
ship to bestow that favor upon
your neighbor?
In a thousand ways, you
are a partner in business with
every man in your home town.
Your interests are common. If
all your neighbors should fail,
you wouldn't remain in busi
ness a week. If all your neigh
bors succeed, you almost cer
tainly will succeed with them.
So, when you find yourself
in need of a monkey wrench,
a pair of pants, shoes, auto
mobiles, groceries, etc., or an
insurance policy to buy it
from your neighbor is the next
best thing to buying it from
yourself.
