Clever as the Indians were, they developed a monumental stupidity whenever given a job to do. According to the Gering Courier, February 7, 1902, a typical incident had just occurred at the Sioux Agency. The Indian supply depot at Om aha received a requisition for quite a large supply of plows to be sent to this Indian Agency, whereupon a check of their records revealed that this was the second request for this implement within a short time. The superintendent ordered the situation investigated. The inspector found that the first shipment of plows had been received and the Indians had used them to prepare their lands for irrigation as the agent had told them that "heap big crops" could be grown by watering their lands. Upon the re quest of the inspector to be shown the ditches and reservoir, they led him to a large dam built where the stream was narrow and built so high the surrounding country was flood ed. The back part of the dam con sisted of the entire shipment of new plows, which had been placed there to add more strength to the struc ture. SUNOWA CAMP FIFE The Sunowa Camp Fire met at the library Tuesday afternoon. The meeting was called to order by our president, Helen Yardley. The min utes were read and approved. We then had roll call. We reviewed our past activities ld discussed - and accomplishments ar plans for the future. The meeting was adjourned. Friday evening at tht library Mr. Shumaker. from the state recreation committee showed his lantern slides of birds, flowers and beautiful scen- a,..nmnl,vin- tliem with a vnrv interesting and instructive informal talk . As the Sunowa Camp Fire had sponsored this unusual lecture, we were very disappointed that so small a group were present to enjoy Mr. Shumaker. The evening was un usually hot but we soon forgot the weather in following Mr. Shumaker through Fontenelle Forest and up and down the Missrari river in his search for tinusual birds in their nests. His pictures of the Nebraska spring flowers were just lovely. Nor will we soon fcrget his pictures of cute fuzzy baby birds or those tiny new squirrels. We wish to thank Mr. Shoemaker for giving us such a very entertain ing evening. We are sure our nature honors will be easier and that we will want to earn more of them. ELIZABETH PERRV, Scribe. OMAHA PAHTIES WEDDED Thursday afternoon at the court house John Wiederkehr and Naomi Dooley, both of Omaha were mar ried by Judge A. H. Duxbury in his usual impressive manner. The mar riage was witnessed by Jack Camp bell and Deloris Dooley, also of Om aha. $1 SELLS ""yum What's the farmer's dollar worth? For years, economists have torn their hair over that question orators have, ranted and raved about it. But one Iowa farmer found out the easy way. He simply put a dollar on the auction block and dis covered it was worth $80 to another farmer, Lynn Grant, tobacco grower of Melrose, Conn. Of course it was an unusual dollar that Martin Paulson of Jasper coun ty, Iowa, put up for auction. It was the two billionth dollar loaned by A GIRL AND A GUN In a male world much has been said of the ways of a man with a maid and too little about the ways of a maid with a man. Workers of the Nebraska Writers' Project, WPA. unearth the story of a girl who had her own defense measures. A young man near Niobrara, in 1903, according to the story, was courting his girl with some regu larity. One evening after they had talked several hours he declared his intention of kissing her. Apparently indignant, the girl said she would tell her father if he did. The young man remembered that faint heart ne'er won fair lady. He kissed her. Jumping up, the young woman walked into another part of the house. "Father," she said, "Mr. N. wants to see your new gun." "All right, all right," said the old man, delighted with a chance to show his new shotgun. Taking it from the rack, he stepped into the parlor. According to the story, the young man broke four window panes in get ting out. He was last seen running up the road toward town. ATTENDS BANK DEDICATION Tuesday afternoon H. A. Schnei der, president of the Plattsmouth State bank of this city, with Carl I). Ganz. of Alvo, president of the Ne braska State Bankers' association, were at Falls City to attend the dedication of the new building of the First National bank. The First National has just com pleted a very fine and thoroughly modern banking house at Falls City that was formally dedicated last night and brought to that city many f 'le leading bankers in the cen- tral part of the west. The visitors were entertained at dinner at the Hotel Weaver, a very delightful repast being arranged in honor of the notable occasion. E. H. Towle, a member of one of the pioneer families of Richardson county, is the president of the bank ing house and received the many friends in the banking business who formed the banquet party together with many of the leaders in Falls City. ROTARY MEETS OLD FRIEND The Rotary club Tuesday had an informal but ery pleasing program, ar. well as tbr opportunity of visiting an old friend. Arthur Troop was the program chairman and the speaker who had been expected to furnish the chief feature of the luncheon was unable to fulfill the date. R. Foster Patterson, of Tarkio col lege, former Plattsmouth man, was a guest at the luncheon and was pre sented for a few remarks by the chairman. Mr. Patterson is always a clever and entertaining speaker, his contribution to the program being very much enjoyed by all of the group. From Wednesday's Dattj Mrs. Martha Henni, of Omaha, who has been here as a guest of Mrs. Anna Lillie and Miss Marie E. Kauf mann, departed this morning for Omaha and from there she expects to go to Julesburg, Colorado, to visit with relatives and friends. c FOR $80 i Hoi the nation's 523 cooperative Pro duction Credit associations, and the auction took place at a national farmers' celebration at Newton, la., last week.

Charey, both operators at the tele phone exchange in Weeping Water, arrived home Wednesday from a two weeks' vacation spent in the west. While away they visited Denver, Colorado Sprints, the Garden of the Gods and other sights in that part of the country, also going on west to the coast before returning. Mr. and Mrs. John Rohrdanz and son Herbert and wife spent several days at North Platte visiting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Waldo Min ford. On their return they brought back Jimmie Rohrdanz, small son of Herbert and wife, who had been visiting in the west with his uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. Minford, having accompanied them home re cently when they were returning from a visit in Cass countv. Card of Appreciation We. the wife and children of the late Eli Keckler, desire to express our sincre thanks to all those good friends who contributed to the wel fare of our beloved husband and father during the time of his illness and at the time of his death. Espec ially do we wish to thank those who offered to donate blood for transfus ions and for the many kind words and acts on the part of all, those who sang at the funeral and the minis ter for his comforting message. Mrs. Eli Keckler and Children. Visiting' at Milwaukee Robert Wiles and wife with their little son depariud during the past week for MilwaukW, Wis., where they went to visit at tin home of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Krecklow, the latter a sister of Mrs. Wiles. They were accompanied by Mrs. Krecklow and her son, Louis, Jr., who have been visiting in Manley for some time. Entertained on Birthday Sunday, July 27th marked the birthday of Herman J. Rauth and Miss Anna V. Rauth entertained her parents at her home in Omaha in honor of the father's natal day. A delicious dinner was served and a splendid visit enjoyed. Too Many Accidents at Corner Despite the fact that a clear view trom all directions is to be had by motorists aproachmg the intersec tion of State highways 1 and 50, a mile ease of Manley, the number of accidents at that point have been tar too numerous. Just what should be done to help the situation is a problem, but it would seem that well rounded approaches to permit get ting from one road to the other might help some. Many of the main traveled roads offer this method of approach at important intersections. To do so Mould require the acquisi tion of some farm land. And then, oi course that would not prevent intersection collisions between cars going at right angles. Designating the most traveled road as the main or through highway and placing of stop signs on the cross route would help some if the stop signs are ob served, as thev should be. Alvo News Special Journal Correspondence Alvo Has Fine Celebration The local firemen held their an nual two-day picnic on July 2 4 and 25. In spite of the extreme heat, a large crowd was in town both nights. There were several concessions and the ladies of the church did a very satisfactory business selling food.

The first evening the program was sponsored by the Reading club, which included local and guest en tertainers. The second evening's pro gram was presented by the Mothers Daughters' Council club. One out standing feature of that program was a musical skit presented by the Cass County Woman's Chorus. A pretty pageant was presented at the close of the program that was of a patriotic nature. All the numbers of both pro grams were well given and much en joyed by a very large crowd.

The first week they visit ed friends in the western part of the state and the second week they drove to Minnesota, where they enjoyed cabin life for a few days. They found the weather extremely hot for Min nesota, so had no relief from the se vere heat wave that Nebraska peo ple have been forced to endure the past two weeks. Nevertheless, it was a change and a rest from the regular routine of things here. They returned home Wednesday feeling better for having had a change.
