REACHES GREAT AGE
A brain Slicllcnbarger, the lart civil
war veteran in the city. Wednesday
observe d the passing of his ninety
fourth birthday anniversary, an age
thrt is given but few to ever live
to attain.
Mr. Shellr nbargcr was bcrn on
October 3, 1840, rt a time when the
Vr.n Burcn and Harrison presidential
crmpagin was on ever the nation,
when yet the Mexican war was to be
fought and the annexation cf the ter
ritorial of the southwest wr.3 to be
made. In the yenr of his birth the
means of communication was poor
rnd the great inventions of later
years yet undreamed. lie has lived
to see his country in two of the
great' f,t wars cf all time, in one cf
which he served with honor ia the
I'nion army in the war of the states,
lie hes lived to see the great gold
strikes of 1D, the displacement of
th2 coveted wcgon and pony cypress
by the railroads in the west, the coin
ing cf the rutomobile and truck to
?M to the transportation of tho na
tion. In his youth the telephone was
unknown and in recent years he has
rern the radio and v.ircl?ss bring tho
whole world in touch.
The Journal extend? its congratu
lations to Mr. Shcllenbarger and with
the wish that he may see the com
pletion of a full century cf life.

HOLLYWOOD One of the untold
dramas of the Max Reinhardt pre
miere was how Franchot Tone asked
Charlie Chaplin for an autograph
and gx.t turned down.
Franchot and Joan Crawford were
sitting several boxes away when the
comedian and Paulette Godard took
their Feats at the
Hollywood b o w 1.
Though a success
ful actor, now al
most a Hollywood
veteran, Franchot
was plainly excit
ed. Finally, he con
fessed. Charlie has
been his screen
idol since boyhood.
"I wonder if he'd
give me his auto
-?-S,
.Franchot T8ne
graph?" he said impulsively.
A moment later, he was out of his
scat and had joined the crowd back
of the comedian's box. After waiting
his turn with oilier autograph seek
ers, he thru't a program and a pencil
ever Charlie's shoulder.
Without seeing who it wa
comedian .shook his hend.
the
"I'm rorry, I don't
ive auto-
graphs." he said.
Franchot went disconsolately back
to his box. But the last part of the
story is the best. Joan stopped I Iy
man Fink, the photographer, and
asked him to explain to Chaplin that
Franchot Tone wanted his autograph.
A half hour later Hyman returned.
He not only had Charlie's autograph,
but those of Bette Davis and Anna
Sten a; well.
Was Franchot's face red!
Add to strange fan letters the one
just received by Mona Barrio. An 1S-ycar-clJ
Chicago girl writes the ac
tress seven and a
half pages all
about Lew Ayres.
"I can't eat, sleep
or work for think
ing about him" de
clares the enthusi
astic fan. "I know
you work at the
Fox studio. Will
you give this let
ter to Lew and ex
plain?" Mona Barrio
Not a word about Mona herself.
But Mona says:
"I'm consoling myself that the girl
may have a mad brother. And he
may have written Lew seven and a
half pages about me."
What romance between a new for
eign star at Universal and a brunette
Hollywood beauty gets stormier and
funnier every day? The latest ex
plosion took place in the studio com
missary when she threw a lighted
cigaret, a glass of ice-water and a
handfull of sugar at her astonished
swain.
Kirick-Knacks
The Doctor Frank Is clans (Eleanor
Hunt) have quarreled again. They
are cooling off (or are they?) under
reparate roofs. . . . Charles Kay has
been squiring Beverly Eouvct to
Henri's club. . . . And Johnny
Maschio, Sidney Blackmer and Gwen
dolyn Gill a threesome at the same
spot. . . . Young Doug tables that
' Here L'cs Truth," the play in which
he and Gertrude Lawrence are ap
pearing, is r.tlling s eats six week ; ia
advance. . . . My line that Ring
Cror.by came to Mack Sonnett's finan
cial aid upsets Joe R-.-sen. who says
he never, never did. . . . Una O'Con
nor, the comedienne, had a narrow
o? ape. Since the high tides she has
been carrying a life line whea she
goes into the surf. With the other
end tied to an iron ring on the front
prrt h of her Maiibu cottage. Bat the
rusty ring brcke loose and two neigh
bors had to rc:;cue Una from the big
combers.

Three Nebraska iicmer.ukc:s iium
bered av.iong tlie fifteen prize win
ners in a national "Ycu Name It"
Gas liange naming contest sponsored
by tli Geo. I). Bopcr Corporation
liOvkfoid, Illinois, makers of Iiopei
gas ranges. They arc Mrs. Ben Aus
tin, C25 South 14 ill street, Lincoln,
Nebraska, who lias been awarded
first prize of $200. Mrs. D. F. Wag
ner, 125 West 1 "tli street, Crete
Nebraska, and Mrs. L. S. Chamber
lain, West Main street, Mi'ford, Ne
braska, who were awarded honor
able mention prizes of " each.
Checks were presented to these j
prize winners this week by represen
tatives cf the Iowa-Nebraska Light
Sz Power company who conducted
the contest locally throughout its ter
ritory as part of the national plan.
"The idea bihind the campaign,"
said Mr. F. I. Ilea, "was to find a
name that would instantly convey
the style and beauty of the new
Roper ranges. We also wanted the
name to tell of the high quality con
struction, special convenience fea
tures and economical operation ol
these modern creations. It was felt
that the best method of securing such
a name was to 'go to the country'
appeal to the thousands upon thou
sands of people who came in to see
and buy one of the new models.
"The plan was overwhelmingly
successful in that thousands upon
thousands paiticipated. Naturally
to find that we have three of the
prize winners in Nebraska in the
face of this tremendous competition,
was highly gratifying. We want to
thank all of those who came intc
our store, saw the new ranges dem
onstrated, and then submitted a name
in the contest. Even though every
one could not win a cash prize. 1
believe that educational value oi
the demonstration of this mcderr
rnnge was well worth the time and
trouble of the participants. At least,
people had a chmge to see the very
latest in g::s cooking equipment."
The sound sense cf the great Am
erican people cannot bo questioned,
but our progress depends to a large
degree upon the awakening of pub
lic confidence and the development of
better business.
You should not try to beat a train
to a railroad crossing. You can't al
ways do it.
A lot of careless remarks are niadi
by our politicians that are not war
ranted by facts. They should think
twice before they speak.
t
Without doubt your city could
make an impression on people liv
ing elsewhere by placing in theii
hands a copy of this newspaper. It
reflects the spirit of progress of your
city. After you read it today, mail

In some countries it seems that
the faddists and idealists hail the
wildest aspirations of dreamers ae
the solution of all problems.
Among the greatest assets a city
should have are cleanliness, beauty,
enterprise, far-sighted!ice;s and a
spirit to do greater things.
The Axe of Economy is relentless.
Whf-n the next war comes, thesc

Elmwood News
Albert Thcil of west of Idurdock
wan a business visitor ia Elmwood
on last Tuesday morning, driving
over to look after some business mat
ters for a short time.
The Young Peoples class of the
Christian Bible school enjoyed a
weincr roast on last Tuesday even
ing at the ball park just north of
town and a good time was had.
Mrs. Lucy Lyle, the manager of
the Elmwood telephone exchange, in
order to facilitate the work of the
home and preserve the eatables in
best condition has had a Norge elec
tric refrigerator installed in the
home.
B. I. Clement was calied to Lin
coln on Tuesday of this week to look
after some business matters, making
the trip to the big town in his auto
and was accompanied by his son, At
torney Guy Clements.
Mr. and Mrs. Emil Kosenow and
Joseph F. Gustin of near Murdock
were visiting for the day last Sun
day at the home of J. S. Wilcox
where the three couples enjoyed a
real old fashioned visit, they all be
ing very close friends. J. S. Wilcox
and family reside in Lincoln.
Not wishing to challenge undo at
tention to the wheelbarrow, owned
by a certain man in Elmwood, but
the report is current that while his
neighbor was returning from a trip
to Lincoln in his auto that this same
wheelbarrow, driven by tho sturrij
arms of a certain gardner only had a
sack of potatoes as the load passed
the new car on the hill west of town.
Republicans in Caucus.
At the republican caucus which
was held on Friday of last week, the
nominations were as follows: Paul
Marshall, assessor, F. J. Fitch as jus
tice of the peace, while the othei
member of the three man ticket was
made up of Harley Williams and a
mighty good ticket as to that. The
democrats will hold their caucus dur
ing this week.
To Encourage Perfect Attendance.
In order that better attendance at
the Bible school of the Christian
church might be realized, there is
being kept a register of the attend
ance of the members or the Bible
school and that the record may be
compared with the record of last
year. This is to show whether the
school is advancing or not. The
record is for the current month, Oc
tober. Finally It Will Be Oysters.
Yes, there was a contest in the
Bible school at the Christian church,
the adult class, the one taught by
Mrs. Ernest Baker, and all say she
is one of the very best of Biblical
instructors, that the division of the
class which constitutes the women
of the class were pitted against the
men. The rules of the contest arc
that the loses were to entertain the
winners to a supper. This was tc
have been this week, but by reason
of other entertainment occuying the
time the supper has had to be post
poned for at least two weeks, but
come it will and the men in their
serving are expecting to have a real
actual oyster supper with real oys
ters in the soup end a good time.
Then it will be nearer winter and
the supper will be relished the more.
Fathers and Daughters to Meet.
There is to be a get together meet-,
ing of the fathers and daughters of
the Christian church in the near fu
ture when the parents will meet with
the daughters instcaft of the sons
this is because tho daughters of the
church rolls are more numerous than
the sons, and by the way, why not,
as they are just as good company
as the sons, anyway. There is good
recs-on that an excellent time will be
hod. The date cf the banquet has
btc.i set for October 12th.
Weeping Water Gives Playlet.
The young peoples clas3 of the
Congregational church of Weeping
Water under the tutorship of their
pastor, Itev. Louis Wilson, presented
last Monday evening at the Meth
odist church of Elmwood a playlet
known as "Ba Thune," as a fitting
conclusion oT the one day session of
the Class County Bible School asso
ciation which was meeting in Elm
wood. Not alone were the people of
Llmwood grateful for the very inter
esting playlet, but all from the en
tire county who were present.
According- to Constitution ( ?)
Forty and six years was Solomon's
Tmple-in building, and it a claim
ed that the Cass County Bible School
association has been in existence for
just one year less, and during all
this time serving the people and the
Bible schools to the very best. It
was not until this session that the
question was raised that there was
no constitution, and after some dis-
cussion it was deemed best to pro
vide one a.nd therefore a committee
empowered to wrestle with this burn
ing question was appointed with
power to act.
I. 0. 0. F. Meet and Eat.
Sure who ever knew of an Odd
Fellow who was not able to eat when
the good things were placed before
him. At the regular meeting last
week of the subordinate lodg:" No.
160, they had as their guests a num
ber of members from Weeping Wa
ter, Nehawka and Avoca and abc
the deputy grand master of Wavcrly,
who addressed the meeting on "Good
Oddfellowship" and a very fine time
was had, followed with good things
to eat.
Of Special Interest.
At the meeting of the Ladies Mis-J
sionary society of the Christian i
church on last Wednesday the theme
of missions developed that the mis-j
sionary society cf the church was
organized sixty years ago, no rot
the local organization in Elmwood,'

the same and had an excellent time
at that.

Here's a secret discovered by smart women
hoss arc twice as flattering when worn
inside cut. So Munsingwcar makes a stocking
that has the dull, flat surface on the outside. And
this extra dullness docs wonders for legs and
ankles making :hem look more slender, far
mere stunning! Then, too, the texture appears
sheerer, clearer yet the close, flat weave con
ceals skin blemishes and resists snags and runs.
The ribbed surface on the inside grips the skin
preventing twisted rear seams, ankle wrinkles.
