The lighting commitee was au
thorized to receive the bids and buy

EIGHT MILE GROVE
LUTHERAN CHURCH
Mr. Leon Ray Livinvston, traveler,
author, and orator, better known as
the "A-No. 1 Wanderer will speak
at the church next Sunday. February
19, at 2:30 p. m. His subject will
be "Where Is My Wandering Boy?"
Mr. Livingston has had a checkered
cureer; running away from home in
San Francisco when but 11 years
old, he-roamed about for 30 years.
When he finally returned, he discov
ered that his good parents had died of
broken hearts because of his disap
pearance. He settled down to a life
of industry and usefulness, married
and raised a family. He is now giv
ing all his time to the runaway chil
dren problem. He li trying to show
the youth of America what a serious
mistake they make when they desert
home. He tells the parents why chil
dren run away, where they go, the
things they experience and how to
keep them home. In his travels, Mr.
Livingston has covered 520,000 miles
at an expense of -$7.61. He knows
the life of the runaway; he has a
vital and most interesting message
as he actually passed through all he
relates.
Think of it! Figures indicate that t
approximately 80.000 girls and 200,
000 boys run away very year; 40,000
girls and 35,000 boys are never seen
again by their unfortunate parents
who almost invariabl die of a broken
heart, because of grief over the miss
ing loved one!
Mr. Livingston comes to us with
the very best references from pastors
of all denominations. Kveryone who
has heard him, speaks well of the
man and his message. With millions
of men totally unemployed and num
berless men and youths tramping
aimlessly from place to place, this
address will prove most interesting,
instructive, unique and beneficial.
He reveals the tricks of the tramps
their marking of homes, etc. Rare
ly ever a woman vagrant met with!
Every family is taxed annually up to
55 aiding worthless, if not actually
dangerous, wandering beggars. He
teaches us to distinguish the unfor
tunate man who is honestly in search
of employment from vagabonds who
not only spread foul, if not deadly
diseases, but educate harmless young
runaways in the dynamiting of safes,
robbing of banks, burglarizing of
post offices and school bouses and
the murdering of folks who gave
them passage in' their automobiles
all exclusive specialties of the
tramping fraternit and never taught
in any church, school or home will
be told you Sunday afternoon. Feb
ruary 19th at 2:30. You should hear
Mr. Livingston and bring as many
others with you as possible.

Mr. and Mrs. A. A. McReynolds
were over to Avoca last Saturday at
tending the gathering of the Cass
County Historical Society.
Henry Gruber who has been very
poorly and hardly able to get about
for some time was able to be down
town last Monday and said he was
feeling some better.
Visits in Union Last Sunday.
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Hemphill
were in Union last Sunday where
they enjoyed a delightful visit at
the home of their niece, Mrs. Be:4
Anderson and husband and their lit
tle son. The occasion was the cele
bration of three birthday anni
versaries. They were Ben Anderson
whose birthday fell last Saturday,
February 11th, Mrs. Charles Hemp
hill which came on Valentine day,
February 14th and Mrs. Hemphill,
whose birthday occurred February
12. There were there also Mr. and
Mrs. Frank Anderson and Mrs. Min
nie Anderson, mother of Frank.
Looking for Better Times.
Don Philpot, who has been with
the Farmers Co-operative Oil tom
pany of Nehawka as salesman and
distributor of the products, has
given nis truck good hard service
during the years and seeing good
times ahead acquired a new G.M.C.
truck for delivery purposes.
Had Merry Time Last Sunday.
Mr. and Mrs. A. F. Sturm were
host and hostess at their home in
Nehawka last Sunday and had as
their guests Mr. and Mrs. John
Yeiser and children. Jack, Andy and
Suzanne, all of Omaha, as well as
Mr. and Mrs. Charles E. McCarthy
of Union, Mr. McCarthy being bro
ther of Mrs. A. F. Sturm.
The Piggie Took a Ride.
At the last fine stock sale of
Hampshire hogs held by Harry M.
Knabe, a very fine specimen was
bought by a man from near Tarkio,
Mo., and with his purchase, as he
thought, securely fastened in a crate,
attached on a trailer to his automo
bile the man departed for home
and somewhere between here and
there the hogship disappeared from
the crate and trailer. The purchaser
was sending out an SOS from KFNF
at Shenandoah last Monday.
Sell Farm Last Saturday.
Three hundred and twenty acres
of land of the late A. G. Murdock es
tate were sold from in front of the
Nehawka State bank last Saturday.
One quarter brought $28.50 per acre,
while the other quarter brought
$32.30, making an averageo f $31.70,
or in all something over $10,000 for
the farm. With a scarcity of rain
fall during recent years, it has had
a depressing effect on the price ot
land. Forty-nine years ago Isaac
Pollard sold a half section abutting
the highway No. '4, then known as
"O" street for an even $50 an acre.
Then the land was new and very pro
ductive, and for years produced from
50 to 60 bftshels of corn to the acre.
But times seem to have changed.
