Death of Former
Resident of Cass
County Occurs
Mrs. Frank E. Doud Passes Away at
the Family Home at Bloomiiig--ton,
Nebraska, Feb. 3rd.
The following from the Blooming
ton. (Neb.) Advocate, tells of the
death of Mrs. Frank E. Doud, a resi
dent of this community some forty
five years ago and who is well known
to many of the old time residents.
The deceased lady is the mother of
Ralph Doud of near this city:
The citizens of this place were
shocked on the first of the week to
learn of the sudden death of Mrs.
Frank E. Doud which occurred on
Sunday night from a stroke. The
deceised had suffered several strokes
during the past year or so. She was
up and around the day previous and
no one surmised the end was so near:
Minnie Carroll, the eldest daugh
ter of Thomas J. Carroll, born at De
catur, 111., Sept. 12, 1SGS. died at
Bicomington, Nebr., Feb. 3, 1935, at
the age of 66 years, 4 months and
22 days. She was left motherless at
a tender age, being loved and cared
for l.y her grandmother, aunt and
second mother, as only good women
can care for a little child.
She came to Franklin county in
1S73, where she practically spent her
entire life. She was married to
Frank E. Doud, at Shenandoah, Iowa,
in September, 1S90.
She ha3 seen all the visitudes from
the days of the buffalo and covered
wagon to our present day of the auto
mobile and radio. She has given all
the love and care which only a moth
er can give to her five children, four
of which have survived her, Ralph
and wife of Plattsmouth. Nebr.;
Keitha Swanda and husband of Om
aha; Wayne Doud, wife and children,
Baihara and Francis, also of Omaha;
Ruth Osterbohr and husband of
Franklin; also two others, Elizabeth
Matz and Nellie Redcliff, of McCook,
who spent their girlhood school days
under her loving care. She is also
survived by three brothers and her
husband. Two sisters having gene
before.
Such is the simple story of one
life, but it tells nothing of the happy
carefree life of the child, nothing of
the visions of her young girlhood,
nothing of the hopes and ambitions
of the matron, nor the anxieties for
her babies ill or in health, it tells
nothing of the watchful hours with
neighbors in sickness and death, nor
the pleasures given in doing these
acts. These are the things that can
not be written and live only in the
memories of those who look back into
the past. This is the story of thou
sands of pioneer women who have
labored with love and have when
through only the Christ who has giv
en the example and does reward,
whose only monument is the mem
ory of these deeds long past.
The funeral was held Monday aft
ernoon in the Methodist church, con
ducted by Rev. L. L. Blauvelt, the
pastor.
New Construc

Steel and Wood Connectors Are Part
of Plan to Use Wood in Bridge
Construction Work.

An important
reason why you
GET BEST BAKING RESULTS WITH

sprays of fresh air constantly,
while being milled. This scientific
process removes all impurities,
makes it lighter, ages it to maxi

Add to this higher food value, the
fact that it keeps bread, cakes

With the completion rn Europe of
the world's highest wooden structure,
built of American woods a radio
tower 628 ft. wood construction is
entering upo na period of renaissance
unequalled in its previous history,
according to Axel II. Oxholm, Chief,
Forest Products Division, Department
of Commerce. Age old wood construc
tion methods, placing serious limit
ations in the way of the use of this
material, have been superseded by a
combination of steel and wood con
struction employing steel connectors
at the principal joints, thereby in
creasing the strength of the struc
ture from four to eight times com
pared with the old-fashioned bolted
joints heretofore used. This system
is making remarkable headway in
the United States, according to Mr.
Oxholm. The state of California has
just completed several highway
wooden bridges of spans up to 180
feet with the total length up to 530
feet. These bridges were construct
ed with considerable economy as com
pare I with previous construction
methods. This construction method,
introduced into the United States
through the combined efforts of the
Department of Commerce and the De
partment of Agriculture, was dem
onstrated to the highway engineers
of the country at the national con
vention of road builders, just held
in Washington, D. C.
This modern connector system will
have particular application in the
nation wide program for the elim
ination of grade crossings, according
to Oxholm. In Germany he says, one
engineering concern alone is steadily
employing 1,400 carpenters in erect
ing such wooded structures, and yet
Germany does not have any native
woods which can compare with our
structural woods in strength and dur
ability. This joint strengthening de
vice is now spreading into our in
dustrial field, and the railroads or
the country are studying its appli
cation for railroad car construction,
platforms, station buildings , and
many other purposes.
Our radio engineers are keenly In
terested in these wooden towers be
cause the use of wood and a special
type of connectors has increased ra
dio efficiency up to 25 percent. In
the small house construction field,
these connectors, unquestionably,
will play an important part, because
they will enable the builder to se
cure greater efficiency and strength
from the wooden members of the
structure, and at the same time, dou
ble the rigidity. This, in turn, will
have a tendency to decrease plaster
cracks and other similar defects com
mon in tnis type of structure. It is
my belief, says Oxholm, that these
modern connectors will give a pow
erful impetus to semi-fabricated
houses because their use will great
ly simplify the erection problem.

DRY LANDS SHELTERBELTS
Washington. Pronounced benefits
from experimental dry lands shelter
belts started as demonstrations were
reported by Knowles A. Ryerson,
chief of the federal bureau of plant
industry. Success of farmers co-operating
with the federal government
in experiments, he said in his annual
report to Secretary Wallace, showed
protected gardens fared better than
those exposed to the gusty winds of
the great plains. "High winds," he
reported, "are the rule in the entire
great plains area, and farm homes,
gardens and orchards require protec
tion. To provide this protection, the
stations at Mandan, N. D.; Cheyenne,
vYyo., and Woodward, Okl., have un
dertaken demonstrations of shelter
belt plantings."
