All depart ments are eager to do all they can to help accomplish this. The church is the pulse of national righteous ness. It means hospitals, colleges, civic organizations and national gov ernment. It means better schools, cleaner politics, purer social life. It means law and order and respect for those ideals that make a people great. It means the reformation of the individual life. It is the voice of God in the midst of the people, call ing them up and on. There is dan ger of that voice being silenced with the clatter of our materialism. Let us think of all the church has done and of all it means to us today and then give its sacred influence first place in our hearts and minds. We wel come you with a welcome strong. If you go to church you are not going wrong. dock Christian Endeavor was held at the Carl Schlaphof home during the Christmas season.

See his ad appear ing elsewhere on this page. he teaches in Lincoln. Mr. Neitzel had previously presented Mr. Linch with a number of the booklets, the title of which is 'A Modern Pilgrim's Progress." Another Wolf Story This is the time of year when wolf stories thrive. Anyway, "Who's afraid of the big, bad wolf?" Since the story was published of a man near Cedar Creek chasing a wolf into a culvert and there shooting it, we have been appraised of an experi ence that fell to J. C. Weddcll, Lroth- er of our fellow townsman, W. T. Weddell. The former resides several miles north of Greenwood and like the Cedar Creek man gave chase to a wolf and ran it into a culvert where the pack of hounds could not get at it. So, Mr. Weddell took a larriet and making a noose in it. threw it nvpr the wolf, drawing it out to such a position that he could tie it securely and then led the animal home and kept it for a few days. The neigh cornoou was asked to bring their hounds and engage in a ehaco when the wolf was turned loose. The ani- nal was run over a large territory, when a farmer hearing a commotion in his yard ran out and seeing the wolf at bay confronted by three large hounds, took gocd aim and killed the wolf. So. there, vou have the latest wolf story the winter has brought forth. Christian Endeavor Elects The annual election of the Mur- L. Neitzel Much Better L. Neitzel, who has been under the weather during the past couple of weeks, is now considerably better, al though not yet restored to his usual good health, and barely able to be at the store a part of the time. He has received a letter from his friend, F. E. Linch, of Lincoln, asking for fif teen additional copies of the booklet which Mr. Neitzel recently had pub lished as he desired to present the same to the Bible school class which Had the Road Cleared By far the heaviest snow this win ter fell Tuesday night, exceeding five nches in depth. Besides, the snow was not particular v.-here it fell and a large amount was deposited on the highways as well as in the fields, where it would do the'most good." The writer started out from Tlatts- mouth on his trip Wednesday moili ng and as soon as we arrived in Murray and started west on highway No. 1, wc found that roadway clear- d of snow, indicating that John Ep- pings, the patrolman, had been out during the small hours of the morn- S getting the snow pushed from the highway so that traffic might pro ceed with ease as soon as day broke. It was alsmost traveling: over a dry oad, and the only road we traveled that day that had been so cleared. Mr. Eppings has demonstrated many times that he not only knows how to maintain the roads in the best of shape, but is not afraid to get out in the night and buck the snow from the road so that those who desire to use it may dJ"" so when daylight cornes. We have one of the very best of road men anywhere in the coun try, right here 'on highway No. 1. At Your Service For Quick Service on Corn Loans, see Henry A. Tool. He can make the in spection and draw the loan papers at the same time. Call or write him. as president, Eddie Craig, vice presi dent and W. J. McDonald, secretary treasurer. John ,W. Kruger was the unanimous choice of the members for fire chief. All are excellent men and will make good officers in the respec tive capacities to which they have been named. Eddie Craig and Henry Amgwert were named as delegates to attend the county convention when it is held, some time in the near future. Arthur Ostbloom Very Sick Arthur Ostbloom, who with the family are residing at Ottumwa, Iowa, iias oeen in poor neaita lor some time and during the past week his condition became quite serious. Mr. and Mrs. Lennie Lau and Mrs. Back emeyer, the latter two sisters of Mr. Ostbloom, drove to Ottumwa several day3 ago to be with their brother in his illness and render whatever ser vice they can to aid in bringing about his recovery. forward to even greater interest In this popular sport as soon as spring time arrives. John Eppings and family were visiting for the day in Plattsmouth last Sunday, driving over to visit with relatives for the day. Kitten Ball Board Elected A meeting was held last week of those who are interested in maintain- ng kittenball as a major sport in Murdock during the coming year, and a large and enthusiastic attend ance was present. This sport has proven most popular and especially during the last year, when the fir-Id vas lighted and raanv evening mmps vere played, furnishing entertain- icnt not only for the people of Mur- , ; . . i i . . . c j i auLiv uui iiu;ii ice surrounding coun try and nearby towns as well. v A committee or board of directors was named to look after the continua tion of the games this coming sum mer, composed of Victor Thimgan, Carl Buck, Dr. L. D. Lee, Eddie Craig and Edward McIIugh. These gentle men are all kittenball enthusiasts and a very capable group to place in charge of kittenball arrangements the coming year, and we are looking Subscription Payment Time This is the time of year when many people pay their newspaper and mag azine subscriptions. A considerable number of Journal subscribers in this part of the county have already done so, but there are others who have evi dently overlooked this important mat ter. In order to publish a good news paper, a continual flow of subscrip tion money is necessary, as well as the revenue from advertisements. All those owing subscription at this time, or whose subscription expires during the present month are hereby advised that we can use the money to good advantage. Make payment either by mail or hand the money to the Jour nal representative, Mr. Briggs. J. Howard Davis Attorney at Law Plattsmouth NOTICE OF ADMINISTRATION Will Hold Special Election. The Village of Murdock is to have a special election on Tuesday, Jan uary 28th, when the citizens will vote on the issuance of some $9,500 in bonds of the denomination of $500 each for the building of a water works system for Murdock and on which project the. government is to furnish 45 percent of the estimated cost of $17,000. See the notice of call for the election appearing in this issue of the Journal. The loan was granted recently from Washing ton, and hertofore the village has thought to not hold the election until it was certain the loan could be se cured if applied for. So after the government has signified that the loan will be granted, the election is called for the remainder of the $17, 000 which is the estimated cost.

Under the terms of the PWA proposal the government would grant out right 45 per cent of the cost of such municipal improvements and loan the remaining 55 per cent at a low rate of interest. Alvo was anoLher Cas3 county town to make such an application, while Louisville some time ago made extensive improve ments and extensions to its water works system under a similar grant. Now, word has come that the appli cations of both Murdock and Alvo have been favorably acted upon and money will be made available for the work. Accord ingly, an election is being planned to be held some time this month and if the required bend issue carries, work could be started in February, which is a good time of year to provide employment for those in need of work. At Alvo the bond election has already been held and the proposition carried by a nice majority, so they are ready to go ahead just as soon as the bonus can be issued. The estimatfd expenditure here is $17,000.00, of which the government grant of 45 per cent amounts to 7,650.00.

One thing is quite certain, the op portunity of getting an outright grant of such a large portion of the cost will probably never be oCered again, so if the voters and taxpayers really want a waterworks system, it would seem now is the time to get it at the lowest possible cost to the commun ity.
