Hudson 223 Kcrlh 6th Elisawood By Journal Field Representative The Albert Printz family have lo cated at Dunbar, where they are en gaged in the produce business. They like their new home fine. Dr. and Mrs. J. S. Dearing of Onawa, Iowa, were in Elmwood last Suuday, visiting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Greene and other friends. Wellington Dennis went to Mur ray to undergo the physical examina tion required of those draft regis trants who have been classified for early call to a year's service. The little two-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Laverne Nickels, stayed at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jay Stan ton last "Wednesday while his parents were in Lincoln on business. Ralph Streeter, brother of Mrs. J. P. Cobb, came trom his home in Cali fornia to attend the funeral of his sister and visit relatives and friends very briefly before returning to his home in the west. Fred Weicheidt, who lives between Elmwood and Wabash, was in town last Wednesday and reported the snow fifteen inches deep in the corn j fields and wet enough to furnish a lot of needed moisture. Charles E. Wood, who has recover ed from a recent illness and Mrs. V. C. Clements were in charge of busi ness at the Bothwell store while Mr. 'and Mrs. Bothwell and daughter, ! Miss Jean Adair, were in Lincoln one i , , . , aay lasi weeK. Charles Schaefer of Murdock, who has long been an employee of the Trunkenbolz Oil company of Lincoln, was in Elmwood on last Wednesday supplying local bulk customers and filling the tanks at the McCrorey service station. Shorty West, the trucker, was able to pick up four hogs at an attractive price last week and brought them home. Wednesday the porkers were butchered, one of them being sold to Edward Ernest, while the other three were divided among the men who did the butchering, Mr. West, Doanie Stark and W. W. Coatman. Faul Enterline of North Bend has ; advised his brother David of the ser I ions condition of their mother, Mrs. j Sarah Enterline, who has been grow ; ing gradually weaker since the recent J stroke which she suffered. David was j there to visit his mother some time Jago, finding her then seemingly some better, but now the word has come 'that her condition is very serious. Celebrated Christmas Sunday Christmas was celebrated yester day at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles W. West, with their daugh ter, Catherine, who is employed in Lincoln and Kenneth, who is located at Wichita, both able to get away and spend the day with their parents. So they just took a head jump on old Santa and moved the festive day up feme 4 8 hours which seems about as sensible after all as moving up Thanksgiving day a full week. Helped Those in Trouble With the snow deep on the high ways and streets, it was not unusual for truckers and car drivers to be come stalled and need assistance to get going. And for the most part, as sistance was readily forthcoming. A case of turn about was when the writer loaned the old faithful snow shovel we carry with us to the meat wagon driver and a little later found ourselves in a like predicament and needing help, which we received.

Gerbsling "Robber or Preacher" Johnny had been pilfering brass and copper, which he sold to Junk dealers. Since he possessed natural ability for leadership, the Juvenile Court sought to ascertain the under lying cause for the ten-year-old's conduct and remedy It. Only future guidance and resulting behavior would make him a gangster or a use ful citizen. In a wholly undesirable locality, above a small grocery 6tore, was Johnny's home, consisting of two tiny rooms. His father and mother were divorced; and the father, al though earning a good salary, con tributed nothing toward the support of mother and son. The mother worked at odd jobs, cleaning houses and doing washes. The neighborhood offered nothing inspiring to Johnny. The only place for him to play was the street; the only place for him to spend the evenings was the dingy, empty home. Ilio only companions were two boys who came from homes similar to his; and nowhere, outside of the class room, were there any standards of manly conduct or examples of fine character for him to pattern after. It war not difficult to comprehend the cause of the boy's wrongdoing, nor tc surmise whither he was drift ing. It seemed hopeless, in his en Mionraent, to instill in him cleanli ness of thought and speech, concep tion of personal honesty. He might have been committed to an institu tion, but eventually he must return home. If success were to be achieved, the home must be reconstructed. To accomplish this it was neces- Rosenow is remaining in Murdock until the household goods are in place and will then join her husband in the Kansas city. Christmas Eve in Elmwood Extensive preparations are being made to make Christmas eve a gala occasion in Elmwood. Lights and decorations have been installed and a large Christmas tree provided from around which gifts will be distrib uted. It will be one of those good old fashioned Christmascs and every one is planning on a fine time. The Cass county Ladies chorus, under di rection of Mrs. J. R. Reeder and a group of men's voices under direc tion of V. C. Clements will be heard rendering Christmas carols and other musical numbers. Treats will be distributed to all the children and the true Christmas spirit will be prevalent. Remember this will be Tuesday evening on the streets and plan to be among the large number who turn out for the occasion. Ycun? Folks "Adopt" Baby Among the young folks belonging to the Elmwood Christian church, the subject of home missions is an important one and considered a part of their regular work for the bene fit of humanity. At their meeting of last Tuesday afternoon, in addition to an exchange of gifts, they arrang ed for the sending of a fine gift to one of the children at the Child Sav ing Institute in Omaha. They have in a way "adopted" this baby and will see that it enjoys its full share of Christmas cheer. This is a very fine thing and the young folks are to be congratulated on their interest in the welfare of others rather than them selves. - Last Sunday at the Methodist church in Elmwood, of which she had long been an active member, funeral services were held for Irs. John P. Cobb, whose death occurred a few days previous. Interment was in the Elmwood cemetery beside the remains of her husband, who preced ed her in death. Rev. Samuel Beechner, pastor of the Methodist church at Exeter and the father of Milton Beechner, of Lincoln, conducted the funeral ser vices, having officiated in a like ca pacity at the funeral of her husband some time ago. Mrs. Cobb, who was a sister of Mrs. Bess Streeter Aldrich, had re sided in Elmwood for many years, be ing 82 years of age at the time of her death. Her late husband, with others of the cemmunty, was one of the officers of the American Exchange Bank, un til a few years ago, when he step ped out to make room for younger persons on the board.

'Ernest L.Reebr i sary to secure control over the fam ily. A complaint was filed against the father, charging him with non support of his wife and child. He was given his choice of one of two courses; stand trial and, if convicted, serve a term in the penitentiary; or contribute toward the support of his dependents. He chose the latter, agreeing to contribute $10.00 week ly for this purpose. We then took Johnny in hand, in structing him as to the morals of the situation and stressing the ser ious consequences of crime on his own character. A minister became interested in the case and enrolled Johnny in a live Sunday school class. The mother was induced to move to a better section of town, the action made possible by the $10.00 per week contributed by the father. From that time on Johnny spent his leisure hours in normal boys' play in the companionship of his Sunday school classmates. A suc cessful business man became his "big brother'' and augmented the work of the court by encouragement and ad vice, filling, to some extent, the place which Johnny's father should have held.

Plattsmouth has had one other great club woman, Mrs. Belle Stouten borough, the third president of the Nebraska Federation of Women's Clubs and the mother of the very worthwhile library movement. Many Women's clubs exist or come into be ing for the sole purpose of support ing the library. The newest club in the district In Pennet, Nebraska or ganized for the express purpose of founding a library. Plattsmouth Woman's club has always been inter ested in the library and contribute at least one book every year.

Cass county has one other state chairman, Mrs. Ray Norrls of Weeping Water, who is state chairman of American Citi zenship, which is closely tied up to that of the American Home de partment. The total membership of the Ne braska Federation is 14.G90 and the total number of clubs Is 358, thirty five of which are Junior clubs. In addition there are ten Junior clubs in the state functioning as depart ments, which is the ideal way be cause then each Junior and Senior club member has the benefit of the society of both groups all for the same price of one dollar a year club dues, and in this way the work of the Woman's club is more closley knit.

South High Turns Back Blue Devils Locals Lose to Tall and Hard Scrap ping South Omaha Quintet by Score of 46 to 24. From "rida.j-t Dally The Blue Devils of P. II. S. played their hearts out for 32 minutes last evening and dropped a 4C-24 deci sion to Omaha South on the Packer floor. Several facts contributed to the loss, the main one being a six foot four Inch guard in "Chuck" Foehlinger who dropped in 15 points. Wednesday's game with Tech took an enormous amount of the Blue Devils' stamina as well as rendering as prac tically useless a very Important cog in the Blue nd White offense. It was in the Tech game that Jim Ye lick aggravated an old football in jury to his leg. This slowed him up to such an extent that he could gar ner only two points. Joe Noble re gained some of his last year's form and led the Blue Devils with eight points followed by Don Martin with seven counters. Faul Orchard was second best for the Packers, dump ing in 10 points. South jumped into an early lead and never relinquished it, leading S-5 at the quarter, and 19-12 at the did Davis and Shiffer for the Blue and White.

Goodchild, who reside in Los Angeles, California, were surprised to learn that she was chosen as the ideal student of her school.
