Sunday the wolf hunt, organized by the farmers west and north of this city was held and attended by some six or seven hundred of the farmers from this vicinity as well as many of the residents of this city who bad driven out to enjoy the sport. The drive was from the Platte river south to the Mynard corner and from near the Sulser farm west of this city and the west boundary of the territory covered was west of Cul lom, the territory taken in embrac ing some six miles in diameter. The hunters swing out in a great circle, Gradually closed in to nar- ! row the territory and one of the coy otes shot was routed out by the group from the Mynard community and sev eral were driven in from the timber along the Platte river territory. The hunt was such a success that it is planned to stage a similar event next Sunday which will start from the Mynard corner on south and take in about the same amount of terri tory as the hunt yesterday. Several of the coyotes bagged were quite large and the community is feeling relieved that these animals have been put out of commission and prevented from committing any de predations on the farms m this ter ritory.

The "liquid test" ... it ENDS bowel worries for many people This is a test that tells yoa whether the system needs a cathartic change. It you have constant sluggish spells or bilious attacks, and laxatives seem to make things worse, it would be wise to try this: Stop all use of any laxative that does not encourage variation from a "fixed dose" (which may be entirely too large a dose for your individual need). Use instead, a liquid laxative that you can measure and regulate as to dose. As necessary to repeat, take smaller doses, less and less often, until the bowels are moving without any help at all. Doctors use liquid laxatives, and a properly prepared Iiauid laxative containing natural laxative agents like senna and caseara is a joy and a comfort; a real help in establishing regularity. Ask your doctor about liquid laxative, at any drug store. SYRUP PEPSIII iuisi luociors use liquid laxatives.) ou can get Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. Which is a mmt r4rnXKI. SOMETHING'S HAPPENED MARKS THE SPOT IN OUR CORNER WINDOW! YOU'LL BE INTERESTED TAKE A LOOK AT IT! WESCOTT'S Since 1879 ttvnara uub cf to Produce New Comedy Offering New Offering Written and Directed by Raymond Cook Laid in the Texa3 Range Country. The Mynard Community club has sponsored many clever and enjoyable entertainments in the past which have met with the highest public favor. The Mynard club has a record of presenting, thru the years, a series of plays all of which have been "big hits." So successful was last year's show, "Mynard Minstrels of 1934," that over a thousand persons paid admission to see it in the five nights it was presented. Raymond Cook, the Mynard Maes tro, who is now directing rehearsals ror tne 19.J5 show, promises that this will be the biggest, funniest and most musical of any Mynard show yet given. New and special scenery ha3 been designed and built especially for this musical comedy. And In ad dition there will be an orchestra cf nine pieces to add to the beauty and effectiveness of the musical num bers. The plot of this comedy is laid In the Texas range country adjacent to Mexico. The action centers around the family and ranch hands of Ma and Pa Williams (Katherine Wiles and Richard Spangler) owners of the Lazy "Y" ranch, and a band of Cali fornia gangsters; The real leader and "brains" of this gang is the fa mous Dr. Brewer (Jean Spangler) owner of a sanitarium located near the lanch. The doctor is a suitor of! Nancy Williams, the daughter, (Lu cille Wiles) as is also Bob Ford (Lawrence Leonard) Chief of the Texa3 Rangers. The doctor is even tually shown up by Marcheta. (Peg Hir. the Mexican maid of the Wil liams household. The gangsters meet their Waterloo when Big Ike, the negro man - of - all - work (Homer Spangler) and 'Cookie, the bunk house chef (Ray Bourne) Join forces with the Texas Rangers. Mary Bever age as Sally, the frivilous Eastern girl, after much indecision falls for Slim, the ranch foreman (Dick Liv ingston) who is "that way" about her and Lightning Joe (Art Hild) decides a Mexican wife is good enough for him. All ends happily when Cookie decides not to quit his Job, Big Ike finally catches his horse and the hard-boiled gang of hood lums (Eddie Wehrbein, Towner Liv ingston, and Chet Wiles) gets whats coming to them. A chorus of Texas Rangers composed of Chuck and Ed die Howard, Noble Kiser, Jack Val lery and Stan Dreamer as the banjo artist, complete the cast.. A guitar specialty will be given between acts by the Morris brothers, popular en tertainers from Union. This musical comedy will be given at the Mynard Community Hall Feb. 13th-14th and 18th-19th.

Wescott Veteran in Work Here. Friday, February S, marked the 23th or silver anniversary of the founding of the Boy Scout movement and was featured by a broadcast last evening over a nation-wide hookup, at which the president of the United States, Franklin D. Roosevelt, was the principal speaker. Restrictions against public meet ings being attended by youths of 17 years and under now in effect in this community, prevented the celebration of thi3 silver anniversary by Platts- mcuth Scouts as planned. However, a large number of local Sccuts listened to the radio broadcast in their respec tive hoir.03 and were thrilled at the addresses, particularly that of their national honorary chairman, Presi dent Roosevelt. The founding of the Scout move ment originated in England, under the leadership of Lord Baden Powell, later spreading to the United States when an American traveler was im pressed with the willingness of Brit ish Scouts to perform "a good turn daily" without the acceptance of re muneration for their services, and took the time to learn about this or ganization of youths that had sprung up in London. Today the Scout movement has spread to all the world with by far the greatest enrolled membership of any single organization. It touches not j only the lives of boys, but of a great multitude cf men who are interested in boys and are registered as Scouters or adult leaders. Their slogan Is "To lift a boy up, you must stand on a higher plane yourself and so far as possible this slogan iz made the re quirement of selecting adult leaders. Another apt slogan of Scouting is that "No man ever stood 6traighter than when he stoops to aid a boy." In Plattsmouth, the oldest Scouter in point cf service is E. H Weseott. whose interest in boys is too well known to require comment. The hours he has given to this work could not be computed nor could he be recom pensed in dollars and cents. His satis faction has come from the joy cf do ing and regardless of who may have been in active charge of the various troops that have functioned here in the past sixteen or seventeen vears since Scouting was first introduced to Plattsmouth. "Hilt" has been the "spark plug" of the organization, al ways striving to keep alive the tenets of Scouting, aimed to elevate boys to a higher plane. As a result cf his leadership, nu merous boys have gone forth from this community to accept positions In life far above what they might have real ized without the advantage of a guid ing hand in their youthful days. The present troop, under sponsor ship of the American Legion, has a most capable leader in the person of Scoutmaster Raymond Larson, who is ably aided by Assistant Scoutmaster J. R. Reeder, bcth natural leaders of boys, who have had their abilities along this line increased by attend ance at training courses provided by the area organization. Among the junior leaders are Aul ton Roland, who has now attained an age that permits hi3 being classed as a regular assistant Scoutmaster, and Stephen Davis, who has stepped into Aulton's place as junior assistant Scoutmaster, while John Rishel is the senior patrol leader. During Anniversary week, now just beginning, many gatherings of Scouts over the nation will be held, and It is regretted that this will be impos sible here due to the ban on attend ance at public gatherings of those under 17, but it is pleasing t note1 that Plattsmouth has an active orga- nization of Scouts and pay tribute to the men most actively behind the pro-' gram, including also the Legion troop committee, composed of C. A. Mar shall. John Turner, Robert Reed, Alex Geist. Dr. Taylor (temporarily absent from the city) and Elmer Webb. ! Bet--3outli Omalia!

Gentlemen: I have been thinking of for some time in regard to the extravagant legislation being introduced in regard writing some of that Is to tax- aticn. There is Introduced into the state senate a state police bill, and the method for financing 13 soak the poor man. Why not have an income tax bill to finance this bill? There is to be another cent placed upon gas. Where in God's name is this tax plunJer to stop? You were all elect- led upon a tax reduction program. And our governor in his address to both houses said there was to be no nev.- taxes levied. I have personal knowledge of two men in the same community, one a farmer, who owned a half section of land, his income was about $3,500, his tax bill was around fSOO. The doctor had an Income of about 57,-! 000 a year and had five children In school, two in high school. He paid the measly sum of 138.43. If it coet $100 for the high school pupil, and ?T5 for the elementary this doctor was getting $425 worth of schooling for his S3S.43. This farmer was pay ing for the education of his children. Senators, this should not be. Is this fair? Do you know that the taxation has increased since 1912, $1S4.S9? Do you know that it cost the taxpay ers In 1932 for the 8.607 political units in Nebraska $S9,80C,306 dol lars. So many men when elected to pub lic office have such good forgetters, forget all about the folks back home. The exploitation of the poor le what gave us Huey Long and crar Ism made or was responsible for com munism in in Russia. How long can the American people stand for this kind of legal plunder? Men, women and children by the millions have been crushed physi cally, mentally, financially, socially by unbearable burdens of taxation. They say that the packing trust loses nothing but the squeal from the hogs. By taxation you hare taken everything from the farmers but the squeal. Very truly yours, REV. H. A. McKELVEY. All kinds of commercial print ing done promptly at the Journal office. n We let (Dur On February 6ih See us Now in regard to Chicle Orders Our ch icks are all from Pullorum tested stock.
