Demonstrated the Carter Car
Fred J. Franzen, who is now an
instructor in Liberal Arts in Tech
nical high school. Omaha, was an
Eimwood visitor last Wednesday,
rrn d in conversation with a number
of the older citizens here recalled
the time back in 1912 when he and
another representative of the then
popular Carter Car put cn a dem
onstration on the streets here. One
of the leatures of the demonstra
tion was setting the car to run in
a circle and allowing it to operate
minus a driver. Another stunt in
connection with their demonstration
was the pulling of a loaded grain
car en the Missouri Pacific siding,
a feat that no other car cculd per
form. It will be recalled that the
Carter car featured a disc drive that
permitted of a wide speed ratio, run
ning from almost nothing up to the
top speed for cars of that day, and
had lots of power on its slow speed,
ofter being put to such tests as
climbing steps, etc. A few years later
that prirciple of transmission wa3
discarded and the Carter Car com
pany like many others that pioneer
ed in automobile manufacture went
out of existence. Among those who
recalled the early day demonstra
tion was Charles West.
Return from Sojourn in South

through which they traveled. They
had a most pleasant time but found
nothing to their liking there ancPj
were pleased to return to Cass coun
ts, which they say looks pretty good
to them.
Many Attend Golden Jubilee
Eimwood was fifty years old last
Tuesday, August 23, and in celebra
tion of the golden anniversary, a
two-day celebration was planned and
carried out, which was very correct
ly termed the Golden Jubilee. The
committees in charge spared no ef
fort to make the event a success and
a large attendance both days dem
enstrated the fact that their efforts
had not been in vain.
One of the outstanding features of
the celebration was the Model T
hazard race, in which a number of
the cider model Ford cars partici
pated. There were plenty of hazards
set up and a different race run each
day. Richard Kuehn, with Clarence

Fleischman as the mechanic, won the
first day.
Ed Bornemeier, who was interest
ed in the historical aspects of the
occasion arranged a fine exhibit that
comprised a large number of an
tiques, including candle molds and
many other early day "conveni
ences. There were several ox yokes,
one of them exhibited by James Mills
of Murdock. There were also old
time clocks, guns, revolvers, coffee
grinders, boot jacks and a fine col
lection of early day pictures of both
buildings and the more or less prom
inent citizens of several decades ago.
An agricultural display at the bank
was most interesting, taking visitors
back a full half hundred years to
the time was Eimwood was founded.
This attracted the attention of old
and young, as many of the present
day farmers had never seen or heard
of a lot of the things used in farm
ing back in the eighties long before
autos and tractors had been thought
oi. It was agreed a lot of improve
ments have come with the interven
ing years, but still ppeople live by
eating three meals a day, grow old
er with the passing years and pass
ing from the picture as old age over
takes them, to be buried beneath
six feet of earth, the same as they
throughout all the years for centuries
back. In this changing world, there
are still a lot of things that haven't
changed much.
WABASH
L. R. Stanley made a business triop
to Omaha last week, bringing back
a truck lead of groceries.
Mrs. Henry H. Ger'ccling visited
at the homes of a brother and three
daughters in Lincoln during the past

fall wheat when the proper time ar
rives. - Miss Mary Frances Smith and her
brother Joseph Smith of Omaha vis
ited last week at the home of their
aunt and uncle. Mr. and Mrs. Guy
Hinds.
Mrs. Sherman Hardaway suffered

during the past week, but was feel

Good Alfalfa Seed Yield
II. II. Gerbeling had a two acre
patch of alfalfa, which he cut for
seed, and was able to thresh out
1 1 V2 bushels of good seed therefrom.
Last week he disposed of the seed at
$12 a bushel or $137. That makes a
return of $68.50 to the acre more
than some farming land in this
vicinity can be bought for. Not all
profit, of course, but a very good
return, we'd say and far ahead of
what could be realized from any
other crop.

WANTED
As announced a few days ago. the
Korn Karnival Kommittce would
like to ray honor to the largest
family in Cass or Sarpy counties as
one of the features of this year's
Korn Karnival. In order to do this,
we must have the names and ad
dresses of nich families at once so
we can get this on our program.
Send names to C. C. Wescott, chair
man Program committee, Platts
mouth, Nebraska.
In order , to qualify, these famil
ies must be:
1st Monogenital. that is from
cne father and mother.
2nd They must be present in per
son at the Korn Karnival on Fri
day afternoon, September 23.
3rd It is not necessary for both
father and mother to be living, but
if living both must be present. How
ever, either the father or the mother
must be living and present.
4th Grandchildren will not bo
counted, but will be recognized if
rrefent.
The trend toward smaller families
and no families emphasizes the im
portance of the large family idea
which dominated the early settlers
of this western country and is still
the fashion in some of our rural
communities. Some of us think it is
a big job to rear and educate 0110
or two kiddies, but all honor to the
father and mother who can feed
and drees and buy shoes for eight,
ten or a dozen children. There are.
undoubtedly a number of such heroes
within the boundaries of these two
counties, and old King Korn IV
would like to know who they arc
and give them the recognition they
deserve.
If you belong to such a family or
if you know of any such in Cam
or Sarpy county, please let us have
the name and address.
