PLATTSMOUTH SEMI - WEEKLY JOURNAL
PAGE THREE
Murray
Sheriff Homer Sylvester was a vis
itor in Murray last Monday, having
some business matters to look after.
Mrs. Font T. Wilson was a visitor
in Nehawka on Monday of this -week,
going to look after some matters of
business.
Earl Merritt was in "Union Tues
day of this week, where he was com
pleting the painting of the residence
of Frank Mrasek, which he has in the
neighboring town.
Mrs. Leonard Terryberry . was a
visitor here at the home of her sis
ter, Mrs. Roy Howard, coming down
from her home in Plattsmouth to
spend the day Saturday.
The family of Ivan Deles Dernier
were in Omaha last Sunday, where
they visited Mrs. Susie Berger, who
is very ill at the home of J. II.
Browne, and found her slightly im
proved. Mr. and Mrs. Jay Oldham, of Om
aha, who had been at St. Joseph, Mo.,
visiting relatives for a short time,
stopped off here to visit with Mrs.
Sadie Oldham last Sunday as they
were en route home.
Dick Chrisweisser, who has been
working at Nehawka for some three
weeks, was a visitor in Murray for a
short time last Monday evening, be
ing on his way to Plattsmouth, where
he is making his home for the pres
ent. Van Allen, who is employed in
Omaha was a visitor in Murray for a
short time last Saturday night. He
was accompanied by a young lady
friend from the metropolis, they re
turning to Omaha later in the even
ing. J. H. Browne and wife, of Omaha,
were in Murray last Sunday taking
George Berger with them to Omaha,
where he visited his mother, and was
caught in the wind and dust storm
as he returned and had to stop for
a time before he could come on home.
The Frank Mrasek Transfer com
pany has been very busy of late with
the delivery of stock to the Omaha
markets, the hauling of materials,
machinery and lumber from Omaha
to Murray and the delivering of much
newly-threshed wheat to the eleva
tors. Thomas Nelson, employee of the
Murray Lumber yard was enjoying a
visit last Sunday at Springfield, in
Sarpy county, where he was located
some twenty-seven years ago and was
engaged in the hardware and lum
ber business. After all these years,
he finds many of his old time friends
there and sure pleased to meet him.
Russ Overhalser, who has been in
the western part of the state, where
he went to assist with the harvest of
the wheat crop, writes that they have
completed this work and he is busy
plowing corn, getting it laid by and
although the corn is very late this
year, it looks very good and with a
reasonable amount of moisture at all
will do very well.
Mr. and Mrs. George Nickles were
in Shenandoah last Sunday. En route
home, when they had gotten a short
distance out of Nebraska City, the
dust storm came upon them and al
though they speeded up, the storm
was faster than they, so they stopped
and accepted the invitation of Jesse
Crook south of Union to rest a while
in his cave while the dust storm blew
over, which it did in a short time.
Frank Was Crowded Out
Frank Mrasek says his home was
one of the most popular places imag
inable last Sunday evening. The
reason for this unusual popularity
was due to the bad windstorm that
swept the Missouri river valley for a
distance of a couple of hundred miles
and looked like it might develop in
to cyclone proportions. Frank has a
fine cave that is used for the stor
ing of edibles and sometimes as a
place of refuge, andJhis was one of
those times. When Frank sought to
enter the cave for safety he found
the place already packed with refu
gees and some not even able to get
clear down the stairs and into the
enrtanceway. So he had to stand
outside and guard the cave from the
wind, and did so with a smile.
Threshing: About Completed
The farmers in the vicinity of
Murray are Just getting through with
their harvesting and threshing, and
are well pleased with their yields,
the quality and the very nice prices
that they have been getting for their
grain. However, there still remain a
few jobs of threshing yet to be done.
Mrs. Susie Berger Better
, Mrs. Susie Berger, who has been
very sick for some time past at the
home of her daughter, Mrs. J. H.
Browne in Omaha, is reported as
being some better and was able to
sit up for a short time last Monday.
Her daughter, Mrs. Marie Marshall,
of Oklahoma City, is expected here
in a short time to assist in the care
of the mother. The many friends of
Mrs. Berger are hoping ' for the
speedy recovery of this popular lady.
Released from Custody
George Berger, who was brought
to trial in county court at Platts
mouth on an assault charge, after a
trial extending over many hours on
last Saturday and embracing the
testimony of many witnesses, was
discharged frm custody. Among those
from Murray who attended the hear
ing, either as witnesses or spectators,
were W. S. Smith, John Poynter,
Tom Nelson and George Nickles, also
a goodly number of others.
Played Ball at Plattsmouth
The Murray Reds were at. Platts
mouth last Monday evening, where
under the floodlights they played a
very one sided game against the Cass
County Chevrolet team. The score
as 25 to 0 in favor of the Chevys.
Home from Vacation
Uncle J. W. Hobson, who makes
his home with Mr. and Mrs. Albert
Young, was away on a two days' va
cation trip, which he spent in fish
ing along the river, and while he
went with the intention of enjoying
the outing and resting up, he found
he might as well have been at home
for he had to rest up after he got
home before he could go to work
again. The fish would not bite and
he had not fish to eat. While he was
away from camp for a short time,
some sneak thief purloined his en
tire outfit with the exception of the
coffee pot and frying pan. Like the
well known radio character, Andrew
Brown, he is "regusted."
Returned from the West
Frank Vallery, who has been in
the western part of the state, return
ed home this week and brought with
him some samples of the grain har
vested there. The wheat would re
quire three grains to make one of
the Cass county variety this year.
The barley was not very good. But
he had a sample also of the grass
hoppers from out there, which were
truly monsters. However, no one de
sires to raise grasshoppers, so we
guess old Cass county just about
cops all the honors of this comparison.
Visiting; Here with Mother
Mr. and Mrs. Fred Born and son
and daughter, who have been making
their home for the past few years at
Lorraine, Ohio, but who are visiting
here with the mother of Mrs. Born,
Mrs. Vesta Clark, manager and chief
operator of the Murray telephone ex
change, are enjoying their visit a
great deal. They are considering the
matter of remaining here as the op
portunities seem as good here as they
do in the east and the family will
be nearer relatives and friends here.
Spent the Week End Here
Miss Elizabeth Spangler of Platts
mouth was a guest at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. C. D. Spangler here
over Sunday and enjoyed among oth
er things the fine birthday dinner
prepared by Mrs. Spangler in honor
of the anniversary of Miss Elizabeth.
They Swam; Then Ate
The Young People of the Presby
terian church of Murray went to the
Graham Mill swimming hole north of
Nebraska City last Friday afternoon,
where they enjoyed a dip in the cool
ing waters and after a refreshing
swim went to the sta'te park at Ne
braska City better known as Morton's
park or Arbor Lodge, where under
the shade of the pines they enjoyed
a very delicious supper before return
ing to their home in Murray late in
the evening.
Having Excellent Time
Ralph Kennedy, Charles Boedeker
II, John Gilmore and C. J. Stuart,
who are at Leech lake in northern
Minnesota, where they are fishing
and enjoying an outing, write that
they are enjoying themselves very
nicely, but that the supply of fish is
not as heavy as they would like, for
they all like fish. But they are en
joying their trip, however.
CARD OF THANKS
Our hearts have been comforted,
our grief assuaged and a heavy load
lightened at the manifestations of
kindness from sympathetic and lov
ing friends.
In our loss, we wipe away our
tears and have comfort in a knowl
edge and firm belief that Jim, as the
neighbors all call him, lives on in
the hearts of all with whom he was
associated.
We wish to thank all our friends
and neighbors for their kindness
shown during the death and burial of
our husband and father; also for the
beautiful flowers, the quartet that
sang so beautifully and the comfort-
Feed Situation
Most Critical in
State Just Now
Governor Cochran Asks the WPA to
Create 7,500 More Jobs in
the Drouth Area.
Gov. Cochran declared Monday at
a hastily called meeting of an in
formal drouth committee that the feed
situation is one of the most critica
in Nebraska. It is bad now and grow
ing steadily worse, he said. Crop Sta
tistician Anderson, W. II. Brokaw of
the agricultural college extension de
partment and L. A. White, resettle
ment administrator, met with the
governor to discuss plans for co-ordinating
WPA and resettlement and
extension service work in connection
with the drouth.
The governor is In touch with How
ard Hunter of Chicago, regional WPA
director, trying to increase WPA aid
for destitute farmers in drouth sec
tions. A request has been made for
7,500 jobs for farmers in addition
to the 17,500 already asked, putting
the total at 25,000. Cochran expects
Hunter to come to the capitol in the
near future for a conference on
drouth matters.
No counties in the state have yet
been designated as drouth counties,
Brokaw said. All those present
agreed, however, that the situation
is growing critical in some places.
The governor said a widespread tour
over the state convinced him that
conditions in the eastern section are
worse, generally speaking, than in
most other parts. Hardest hit of all
are counties in the extreme north
west part of the state. A number of
counties are still in good shape, he
said, and would respond well to rain.
Anderson added there will be corn
silage in many places if there is rain
soon.
Members of the committee agreed
that distribution of feed is one of
the biggest problems. In some coun
ties, Brokaw said, there is plenty of
feed in low places and irrigated areas,
while other areas in the same coun
ties are drouth stricken. Feasability
of emergency grants and emergency
feed loans was discussed.

NETSTERS TRIM CARTER LAKE
STOP DONAT'S WINNING STREAK
From Saturday's Daily:
The BREX kittenball team which
in the first round of the season was
defeated by the Donat's Falstaff, last
evening proceeded to clean up on the
younger team to win by a score of S
to 7 in a hard fought game and in
which the Donats had the edge until
the last innings when they whittled
the Donat lead down and in the ninth
scored a victory.
The Donat's had a lead of 3 to 0 up
to the sixth inning when the BREX
annexed two runs and were in the
going and placing the score at 3 to 2
for the beverage dealers. In the
seventh inning the Donats stretched
their score to 6 to 2 and then the
BREX came right back with three
runs of their own and were trailing
by only one score. The Donats in
the first of the ninth added another
score and when the BREX came to
bat then came the deluge, three hits
and three costly errors giving three
runs and the win.
The box score of the game was as
