has been fumigated to insure against
any possible spread of the disease
germs.
Sappy Days Here Again
Many reople have endeavored in
various ways to bring back the happy
days of yore, some of whom have suc
ceeded, but others failed utterly. The
latest cf these to come under our oh
servation was the very successful at
tempt of Lennie Lau, who hitched up
his team of coal black horses to an
antiquated sleigh and came prancing
down town with the bells jingling
and everybody on their toes to see
this most unusual sight of our pres
ent age, although it was a common
occurrence in the years gone by. He
was kind enough to take many of our
townspeople for a ride, which every
body enjoyed. To make the scene
more realistic, a number of hand
sleds were hitched on behind the old
time sleigh. This takes us back to
the time before the auto came, when
people lived the simple life and en
joyed it, too.
Gave Little Friends Nice Treat
During the time W. C. Gillespie ha
been engaged in transporting the
rural students cf the Murdock schools
to and from their studies, he and the
little ones along the route he travels
have developed a close friendship. As
there are a large number cf them, he
did net find it convenient to select a
separate Christmas present for each
one, but desired to do something for
their entertainment at this holiday
season cf the year and so concluded
he would provide them with a fine
treat, anyway.
Taking the school bus, he covered
the entire route, picking up all the
youngsters and taking them to Weep
ing Water, where he had them as
guests at a shew at the Liberty the
atre. Charles Buell accompanied the
party and also enjoyed the show.
Needless to say. this fine act on the
part of Mr. Gillespie has cemented
the ties of friendship between him
self and the youngsters a little more
clorely than before, if that be pos
sible. Announce Decent Marriage
People like to do something un
usual and the young folks of this day
are no exception to the rule. During
the late fall, Bert Muenchau and Miss
Inez Buck were visiting at Fullerton
and while there concluded to get mar
ried. Accordingly, on October 28th,
they secured the necessary license and
were joined in wedlock. On their re
turn, they said nothing about the
wedding, waiting until a few days

prosperous life.
Eatertained the Teachers
Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Neitzel enter
tained the teachers of the Murdock
school on Friday night of last week
at their country home, for a G o'clock
dinner as well as a ride over the
snow covered country. A very fine
dinner was served by Mrs. Neitzel,
which was thoroughly relished by the
members of the teaching force.
Not Feelirg So Well
Journal readers will recall that a
number of weeks ago Mrs. Henry
Ileineman and her husband were in
jured in an auto collision when an
other car struck theirs on the high
way, she being much more severely
injured than was the husband. For
seme time she was making very good
prcgress towards recovery, but a week
ago she suffered a relapse and has
been very ill. her condition causing
grave concern among the members of
the family. The latter part of the
week, her condition was slightl
more promising, although she is still
very much under the weather. Being
compelled to lie flat on her back for
so long a time has greatly worn dowu
her resistance to a point where she
could net ward off other complica
tions and resulted in the relapse in
her condition. The many friends of
this estimable lady are hoping she
will recuperate from her injuries and
once more be restored to good health
Bible Class Enjoy Evenins:
The Adult Bible class of the Mur
dock church held a party and oyster
supper at the Murdock school on last
Thursday evening, when they enjoy
ed a most pleasant time together, as
well as the fine repast that was pro
vided to appease their hunger. There
were ninety-five present to enjoy this
get-together occasion.
Undergoes Operation

Bryan Memorial hospital in Lincoln.
Mrs. W. T. Weddell underwent an
operation for relief from a condition
that has been giving her much trou
ble of late. She went to the hospital
on New Year's day and was receiv
ing treatment there until Saturday,
when she underwent the operation.
Her friends are hopeful that this will
alleviate the trouble and that she may
return home in the near future, re
stored in health.

Congress Heads
Set Wagging on
How to Pay Bill
Hu?5 Spending Program of President
Proves a Bit Staggering Bat
Ready to Do Eidding.
Washington. President Hooseveit
asked congress to approve the big
gest peacetime spending program in
American history, and despite some
headwagging, it was soon apparent
that his recommendations would be
enacted in much the same form as he
submitted them. Some democrats
were surprised at the size of the fig
ures proposed, while the republicans
expressed amazement and a few of
them concern. The president's party,
with its huge majority, rallied
staunchly around him, however, and
support, or at least no intention of
opposing the program wa3 indicated
by some members of the minority.
Reduced to simplest terms the
budget for the fiscal year ending June
30, 1933, and estimates for the re
mainder of the current year fore
saw: Government borrowing of 10 bil
lion dollars in the next six months.
Expenditures for the two years to
taling 516. 529. S05. 667. receipts ag
gregating S7. 234, 604.234, a deficit
for the two years combined of $9.
293.000, Q00 and a consequent in
crease in the public debt to ?SS34.
000,000, the highest point it ever
reached.
Of these disbursements, ?5.017,
4SS.467 were listed as general out
lays for the ordinary expenses cf the
government and the remainder, $11.
312,317.200. was set down an emerg
ency spending intended to further the
recovery program.
Pay as Yon Go After 1935.
"It is my belief that so far as we
can make estimates with our present
knowledge, the government should
?esk to hold the total dtbt witnin
this amount," said the president, re
ferring to his 31 billion forecast.
"Furthermore the government during
the balance of this calendar yeai
should plan to bring its 1936 expendi
tures, including recovery and relief,
within the revenues expected in the
fiscal year 1S3C."
Thus the chief executive served no
tice that after June. 1935, he intends
:o put the government on a "pay as
you go" basis with the added asser
tion: "We should plan to have a
definitely balanced budget for the
third year cf recovery and from that
time on seek continuing reduction cf
the national debt."
In addition. Mr. Roosevelt recom
mended that the present rate of 3
scnts for non-local letter mail be con
tinued, as his postoffice estimates
were predicated upon it, and asking
that the present ban on automatic
ay increases for government em
ployes be liftsd so far as army, navy
and marine corps personnel were con
cerned. To provide a co-ordinated control
cf emergency expenditures, he an
nounced that he had given the budget
bureau supervision over such outlays
and had given to the sharp eyes of
Comptroller General McCarl the re
sponsibility of auditing them.
A total lack of reference to new
taxation, combined with ortimistic
phrases as to the business outlook,
encouraged Wall street to a rally
which transmitted itself to the grain
pits. Of the future the chief execu
tive said:
C0KTI1TEJ7TAL LIFE PLACED
IN HANDS OF STATE OFFICIAL
St. Louis, Jan. 4. The continental
Life Insuance company, which has
nearly 100 million dollars insurance
in force and about 48 thousand pol
icyholders, today wa3 in the hands
cf the state insurance department,
temporarily restrained from oper
ation. Circuit Judge II. A. Hamilton is
sued the order late yesterday upon
petition cf R. Emmet O'Malley, state
insurant superintendent, who al
leged the company is insolvent or
"will be so grossly mismanaged" as
to become insolvent if continued un
der control of its present officers.
O'Malley seeks a permanent In
junction and a decree dissolving the
company.
Ed Mays. Continental Life pre:
ident, denied the company is insolv
ent, and asserted it is "in excellent
condition, facing no danger of in
solvency."
ASES JOBLESS DTSUEANCE
"Washington. A bill which would
establish federal unemployment in
surance was introduced in the house
by Representative Cannon (d.. Wis.).
The insurance would be financed by
lecying a graduated surtax on in
comes of $1,000 or more a year.
CARPENTER 13 DISSATISFIED
Washington. Representative Car
penter Friday joined other house dem
ocrats in urging a party caucus to
discuss patronage.
"My chief interest is in the fed
eral land bank of Omaha," Carpen
ter said. "Republicans who have no
Interest in the success of the Roose
velt program are still being appoint
ed appraisers. Their appraisals are
unreasonably low. Something has
got to be done about it. and appeals
to the Z.jrm cerdit administration
don't bring results."
Carpenter indicated democratic
congressmen who have support rel the
president and who are dissatisfied
with the harvest of patronage would
take their complaints :o tho white
house.
Failing Back
Upon the State
Highway Jobs
CWA Engineers Kcst Kake Project
for Balance cf 33.230 Ken
To Widen Bridges.
The state CWA organization hav
ing allotted 33.290 jobr- in Nebraska,
is now striving to get that many per
sons employed. The best it has done
jthus far is to get a little over 2S.O00
persons on payrolls, and that was the
week before Christmas. Engineer
Jones of the state highway depart
ment, at the head of the CWA engi
neering force loaned to the CWA,
now has instructions to use every
effort to get men at work on feasible
projects. District engineers and oth
ers were called into a meeting to dis
cuss ways and means. It develops
that when the CWA work was first
started, to get immediate action the
state highway department started
many CWA road projects and cm
ployed men. Then counties and cities
formulated projects and atked that
men be relieved Ircm highway work
to work on city and rural projects.
Men were consequently taken from
CWA road work and transferred to
city and rural CWA jobs. Now many
of tLese projects havo bs-en completed
and the cities and towns are turning
the men back upon tho state high
way work. . ....
The state highway . department is
bending its energies to supply work.
Many men are now to be employed
widening email highway bridges
throughout the state. These bridges
are considered dangerous. They are
mostly concrete and steel and by
using heating rots and shields from
weather and ether devices it is said
the work can be done in severe win
ter cold. It is stated that not all nar
row bridges can be widened as there
are enough to more than consum al.
idle labor.
SABOTAGE IN PLANE CRASH
Washington. Attorney Genera
Cummings was reported authorita
tively to have forwarded to the com
merce department a report on the
wrecking of an airplane by an explo
sion at Chesterton, Ind., Oct. 10, and
to have said informally he believed
there had been sabotage in connection
with the crash. The report sent to the
commerce officials was not made pub
lic. They said it had arrived late in
the day, but they had not had time
to study its contents. The policy cf
the commerce aeronautics branch is
to keep confidential all reports on
investigations of air accidents. It was
understood Cummings was of the
opinion the Chesterton tragedy was
caused by the wilful or careless plac
ing of a bomb.
WANTS JUDGING OF VOICE
New York. Gaaca WaUka wants
the critics to judge her by her sing
ing and not by the number cf her
marriages and divorces. And she is a
modest singer, she insisted. All she
wants to do, she said, is to show in
her future toncrts that sh? has im
proved "Lige a student."
"Critics in America are fair," she
added, "but because I am known they
expect from me all they would expect
from the biggest singer who fills
Carnegie hall. If I did not marry the
richest man in America, I wouldn't
fill Carnegie hall." The noted beauty,
former wife of Harold McCormick,
will keep on singing until she con
vinces the critics, she said.
FARSLEES ELECT
Red Cloud, Neb. The local Farm
ers Union elected the following offi
cers for the coming year: President,
James Keagle; vice president, John
