THE PUBLIC should be
prudent in seeking relief from
pain. Take nothing which does
not have the approval of the
medical profession.
BAYER ASPIRIN will never
do you any harm, and almost
always brings the desired relief.
But remember that the high
medical endorsement given
Bayer Aspirin does not apply te
all tablets for relief of pain.
THE DOCTOR is careful to
specify Bayer Aspirin for these
important reasons:
It has no injurious ingredients.
No coarse particles to irritate
throat or stomach. Nothing to
upset the system. Not even any
disagreeable taste. The Bayer
process insures a pure, uniform
product.
INSIST on the tablet you
know to be safe. And the one
that has speea. Bayer tablets
dissolve so ruickly, you get
immediate relief from your
headache, neuralgia, or other
pain.

which the D. A. R. has been helping
for many years. These schools are as

Bible Class Has
Fine Address on
Bible History
Canon W. J. H. Petter of St. Luke's
Church Speaks to the Meth
odist Y. M. B. C.
From "Wednesday's Daily
Last evening the members of the
Y. M. B. C. of the Methodist church
had an unusual and pleasant treat
afforded them in an address by
Canon W. J. H. Petter, rector of
the St. Luke's Episcopal church, on
Bible history.
The first part of the evening was
given over to the regular song serv
ice and the members of the class had
the pleasure of several vocal num
bers by Raymond C. Cook.
The speaker of the evening was
introduced by John E. Turner, class
president, and at once launched into
the recital of the interpretations on
Bible history made by archaelogical
discoveries in the holy land and In
the scenes of Bible history.
The speaker told of the findings
made in the revealing of ancient
cities, the wealth of discoveries o
the scientists that bore out the fact
made in the history of the Bible in
both the old and new testaments.
Canon Petter has made a very close
study of this subject and from the
modern findings as well B3 ancient
documents brought forth some most
interesting facts as to the peoples of
the Bible days. The address was one
that all followed with the greatest
of interest and it was with regret
that the class heard the close of the
most entrancing story of Bible his
tory.
At the close of the evening the
committee composed of J. Howard
Davis, Warren Farmer and Justus
Lillie served refreshments of frozen
cherry pie and coffee.

4,000 Demand
Farm Aid of the
State Legislature
Disgruntled Marchers Tell Joint Ses
sion of Their Needs, Start
Home from Lincoln.
Lincoln, Feb. 16. Farmers march
ed with flying banners Thursday to
the Nebraska caiptol, presented two
sets of relief demands to the legis
lature and set out again for home.
Harold Hulfish, a deputy state sher
iff, estimated their number at 4,000
and another said 2,000 were in the
legislative chamber alone.
Singing and shouting, the column
of overalled men trudged from the
fair grounds to the statehouse. A
few women marched. They milled
through the corridors of the capitol
or camped outside, listening to
speeches and band music, while the
rest crowded into the house chamber
and applauded the reading of the de
mands. Deputy state sheriffs, with tear gas
bombs, stood around the edge3 of the
crowd but there was no disorder.
A. O. Rosenburg of Newman Grove,
organizer, said his group would seek
further organization so as to bring
"as much pressure as possible" on
the legislature.
Banners attacking the banking
system, demanding cessation of farm
foreclosures and evictions, and tax
and wage relief were carried before
the Joint session of both houses.
H. C. Parmenter of Yutan, presi
dent of the Nebraska Farm Holiday
association, presented a request for
prompt enactment of the Iowa mort
gage moratorium law which Gover
nor Bryan prepared for introduction
Thursday. Hisse3 came from mem
bers of the "farm relief conference
group who organized , the march
against Parmenter's wishes.
J. T. Gren of Tilden read demands
of the relief conference including
federal greenback to repay all fail
ed bank losses and farm debt losses
in recent years, immediate 25 to 50
per cent government salary reduc
tions, cessation of all mortgage, fore
closures and federal financing of all
farm debts at 3 per cent on Ion
loans.
"We are in revolt against
the leadership of international
bankers and other bosfness laen"
read Green. "In their mad
scramble for profits they have
reduced the masses to poverty."
Cheers followed a recommendation
that the state militia be abolished.
Green then demanded the Cone four-
year mortgage moratorium bill be
killed and that a bill calling for a
nine months foreclosure stay be ex
tended to two years.
Lieut. Governor Walter Jurgensen,
in closing the session, predicted
"when this legislature has adjourned.
this conference will not be disap
pointed."
On the front steps several hundred
farmers heard several speakers in
troduced by E. F. Lee of Leigh.
W. C. T. TJ. MEETS
The local W. C. T. U. Monday
afternoon conducted the annual
memorial services for Frances E. Wil-
lard, leader in the work of temper
ance for a lifetime and president for
many years of the national W. C.
T. U.
The meeting was held at the home
of Mrs. Etta Gorder and very largely
attended by the members and friends.
Mrs. E. C. Giles gave a very beau
tiful poem, "Lead Chieftian Lead," a
tribute to Miss Willard and her work
in the temperance cause.
Mrs. Gorder gave an interesting
paper, "Essential Qualities of tne
Woman Leader," touching on the life
of Miss Willard and her work.
Mrs. Adelaide Boynton read "When
Frances E. Willard's Statue was Un
veiled."
Mrs. Charles Troop gave a very fine
talk on Miss Willard, her subject be
ing "The Clean, Pure and Honest."
Mrs. W. L. Propst was heard in a
most interesting talk on "Patriot-
sm."
Mrs. Robert B. Hayes gave a vocal
offering to the memory of Miss Wil
lard, "My Task," a most appropriate
feature of the program. Mrs. E. C.
Giles served as the accompanist for
Mrs. Hayes.
Miss Charlotte Jasper was heard in
very charming vocal offering.
Safety First," and her accompani
ment was played by Mrs. Gorder.
At the close of the afternoon
dainty and delicious refreshments
were served to add to the pleasures
of the occasion.
Maybe Europe is right; maybe
Uncle Sam should change his name
to Uncle Shylock. Our recollection
is that Shylock got smart-talked out
of money the borrower was desper
ately glad to get when he borrowed
it. . -.
Alvo Mews
Mr. and Airs. Louis F. Newman,
residing east of Murdock, were in
Alvo on Wednesday of last week and
were looking after some business mat
ters. Mrs. C. W. Jewell was spending a
number of days at Lincoln during the
past week, where she was enjoying a
visit with a number of friends and
relatives.
Mr. Barber, of the Nebraska Pow
er company, who resides in Louis
ville, was looking after business for
the company in Alvo and vicinity on
Wednesday of last week.
Attorney C. D. Ganz was over to
Plattsmouth last week, where he was
called to look after some business
matters and also went on to Omaha,
where he had some matters to attend
to as well.
Samuel F. Latta, of Murray, who
has been engaged in the elevator
business at that place for the past
four years, was a visitor in Alvo on
Wednesday of last week, visiting with
the business men here and also mak
ing his first visit to our town, not
withstanding the fact that he was
born in Cass county some 60 years
ago and has lived within the county
much of his life.
Entertained Beading Club
On Wednesday of last week, Mrs.
R. M. Coatman, at their pleasant
home In Alvo, was hostess to the Alvo
Reading club, which held their ses
sion at her home, and a very worth
while program was had, as well as a
social hour, and were entertained by
Mrs. Coatman and daughter, Miss
Dorothea, with a very delightful
luncheon.
Attending Tournament at Avoca
Last Thursday the Alvo High bas
ketball team went over to Avoca to
participate in the Cass county basket
ball tournament that was scheduled
to end Saturday night. Their opening
game was with the Nehawka team,
whom they defeated, 29 to 13, and on
Friday they met Murdock. Avoca
slated as probable winners of the meet
eliminated Plattsmouth Reserves in
second round of play Friday night, by
a most decisive score, after the Re
serves had outpointed Union in the
opening game Thursday. The earli
ness of writing this precludes giving
additional information on the tour
nament. Last year, Avoca, also pick
ed as a sure winner, was upset by
Louisville, credited with having only
a mediocre team.
Entertained the Seniors
Superintendent Robert Quick and
wife on last Tuesday evening enter
tained the Senior class of the Alvo
high school at their home, where all
enjoyed a very sociable time and as
well were preparing for the gradua
tion, which is but a few months
away. This year the class is not as
large as formerly, but all are just as
Intensely interested in the school
work and the obtaining of an educa
tion commensurate with the needs of
the times.
Many at Lincoln Wednesday
The people who have been study
ing the conditions of the times as
they apply to taxes, to the prices of
farm products, to the scarcity of any
ready money and to general unem
ployment, in the vicinity of Alvo, as
well as over other sections of the
state, had a good representation at
Lincoln on last Wednesday, for the
much heralded march of farmers up
on the legislature. The daily papers
showed the several thousand Nebras
ka farmers gathered about the state
capitol building, which is fitted in
elegant style, and they also went in
to pay a visit to the legislature and
ask for certain concessions they fig
ure will help bring back better farm
commodity prices. The legislature
listened to their appeal and promised
consideration of their claims, adjourn
ing for the day.
The farm market situation is in
deed in a bad way and unless some
thing is accomplished soon the aver
age farmer cannot stand up under
the load any longer and will be un
able to plant crops without some as
surance of a return that will at least
cover cost of production, which is a
lot more than he is getting now.
Have Pine Entertainment
The P. T. A. of the Alvo Consoli
dated school sponsored a very unusual
entertainment by way of a musical
program arranged and directed by
Mr. Harry Zeigenbein of the Crancer
Music company, of Lincoln.

numbers, instrumental and vocal
solos and readings, presented by some
of Lincoln's leading talent. Those tak
ing part in the program were:
John Shilinek, trumpet
Dr. Ziegenbein, trumpet
Mr. Woody, violin.
Mr. Bonnor, violin
Mr. Jackson, drums
Mark Pierce, bass horn
Will Greene, clarinet
Mrs. Harry Ziegenbein, piano,
accordian, vocal
George Hughes, trombone
Miss Blair (Ashland), accor
dian Roma Harrington, reader
Mr. Andrews, French horn.
This unusual group of artists pre
sented their program in a most pleas
ing manner and the audience, which
overflowed the school and auditorium,
showed their appreciation by demand
ing numerous encores.
The P. T. A. sponsored this type of
a program as an incentive and inspi
ration for the Alvo school band of
4 5 members, which was organized at
the beginning of the second semes
ter. Members of the committee sponsor
ing the program were Mrs. Alfred
Stroemer, Mrs. Herman Bornemeier
and Elbert M. Miller.
