GEANDHA HATHAWAY OBITUARY
Mrs. Sarah Jane Mickey
Hath-
away was born at Princeton, Mo.,
on Aug. C, 1S49, and departed this
life on Feb. 23, 1934 at the age or
S4 years, 6 months and 18 days. She,
with her father S. J. Mickey and
family, moved to Nebraska at the
close of the Cicil War in 1S65 and
had resided in Nebraska ever since.
In IS 67 she was wedded to L. P.
Hathaway of Nebraska City and
moved to a homestead in Saline coun
ty in IS 69 w here they lived in a dug
cut for a year then to a sod house
and saw Nebraska in its beautiful
native state. Thirteen children were
born to this union, eleven now living.
Her husband two children preceded
her in death.
Grandma Hathaway, as she was
familiarly called in older life always
had time to administer to the wants
of her neighbors. Many a new life
was brought into this world through
her skill and knowledge. Now her
work is done on earth and she has
gone to her eternal home where Je
sus lives, there to await for her loved
ones whom she has left on this side
of the river, to join those who have
gone before. She united with the
Christian church early in life and
lived it trrough until death.

SEES MENACE TO RECOVERY
Chicago. Samuel O. Dunn, editor
of Railway Age, in an address to the
signal section of the American Rail
way association, said that NRA advo
cacy of further working hour reduc
tions and increased wages seriously
menaced further recovery. "A thirty
hour week on railroads would in
crease operating expenses by 600
million dollars a year and probably
reduce capital goods buying to less
than it was in 1932 and 1933,
said.

AN OBSERVATION
"If shoe-machines wore shoes in
stead of going barefooted
"If auto-machines went joy-riding
instead of staying where they are
"If sausage-machines got founder
ed with sausages
"And sewing machines went dress
ed to kill, and printing presses went
in for literature; what a grand and
glorious time we 'human nuts' could
have watching these machines doing
what we haven't got sense enough to
do." From a church bulletin in Bos
ton, N. Y.
WORK HOURS REDUCED
Washington. The packing ma
chinery industry joined the list of
those volunteering a reduction in
work hours under tre NRA program.
In a telegram to Hugh S. Johnson,
the code authority of the industry
said it would establish a thirty hour
week for common labor instead of the
present forty hour3 and would in
crease wages to the civil works mini
mum. HAS CHICKENS STOLEN
From Wednesday's Daily
Jack Shred, who resides on North
Sixth street, reported to Chief of Po
lice Libershal this morning that ten
chickens had been stolen from his
place last evening. A check was made
by the police to see if the chickens
had been offered for sale here but no
trace of the missing fowl3 was to
be found.
FOUR LIVES LOST IN FIRE
Indianapolis. "If anything
should happen to me," said Mrs. Edna
Finch to her mother Monday, "the
baby ii yours to raise." A few hours
later fire that destroyed the Finch
home in the early hours of Tuesday
snuffed out the lives of Mrs. Finch,
and her three other children, Carol
June, 9; Frances, 6; aud Ernestine,

For the past few years Matuitani

with the government to teach his
countrymen animal husbandry. Mat
sutani plans to return to America
after a year's absence. His main ob
jrctin going is to be with hi:; parents,
who arc in their eighties.
What to do when CWA pasecd out

problem. It looks now like it will be
a case cf going back to work for gro
cery orders for some of those who
have not been fortunate enough to
get a job.
