prise and delight of those present,
the temperature inside was 30 de

the ideal way? It can only be if you
co-operate with us in making it so.
Let us come right on time, enter in

to our classes with a new vision of
what it means to live for Jesus.

getting their wheat cut and in the
shock or through the combine and to
the elevator.
Ray Chriswisser, who put out one
hundred and fifty acres of wheat last

did fine and in many places over the

crop to amount to anything again
this year.

and people of the countryside gath
ered as well as many from Nehawka,
roincr in various directions with
flash lights and lanterns in search of
the missing lad.
The search was carried on in ever

widening circles, extending into ev
ery nook and corner, and lasting up
until about one o'clock in the morn
ing, when he was found in a ravine
some three-quarters of a mile north
west of the house. He was discovered
by Edward Knabe. During the con
tinued search he was called for by
name repeatedly but only once and
that shortly before his discovery was
he heard to respond. Mr. Knabe car
ried a lantern, which shed a bright
light in all directions about him, as
he pressed forward and as a result
was able to spot the lad, who had
become tired out and lay down in a
ravine.
It was very fortunate that the
little fellow was found and did not
have to remain in the woods over
night.
Properly Celebrated the Fourth
The Fourth of July, birthday of
the nation, was celebrated in fine
manner in Nehawka last Saturday
afternoon and evening, with many
amusements, under the auspices of
the American Legion and the ladies
of the Legion Auxiliary. The cele
bration drew large crowds here from
all over the county and many from
outside the county as well. There
were many stunts and games which
helped to amuse the people and the
day went off very smoothly.
The parade was one of the inter
esting features of the day's enter
tainment and took the spectators
back to the days when a real Fourth
of July celebration was held in ev
ery village and hamlet in the coun
try. The doll parade was another
of the many amusing features. The
one that drew much attention and
was finally awarded first prize was
that of Mrs. W. H. Kruger, who was
dressed to imitate a little maiden
with her doll carriage and doll there
in. Another feature was the pet pa
rade, which was a most interesting
display of pets of all kinds. We were
unable to get the names of winners,
of whom there were several selected
for their uniqueness or pleasing ap
pearance. Floats representing many
of the Nehawka business houses al
so had a place in the parade and
were lollowed by many on foot. The
business firms participating included
the Sheldon factory, Sheldon's store,
Ilerbie Kuntz, Boyd's cream station
and the unconquerable Nehawka Fire
Department. Herbie Kuntz's anvil
could be heard ringing as he pound
ed out his living on it with a heavy
blacksmith's hammer.
All in all, the celebration was a
most successful one and everyone
present is loud in praise of tho fine
time that was provided throughout
the afternoon and evening.

This funeral home of ours is so com
