But extensive winter damage may result from poor drainage, and from the heav ing action of alternate freezing and thawing. Water expands when frozen and contracts when it thaws, as is well known to most gardeners. Since soil is usually moist in the winter, expansion and shrinkage occur whenever freezing and thawing take place. Freezing lifts the soil, and thawing lets it drop, at the same time making it soft and wet. The action is most vio'cit near the surface, since winter thawing is seldom deep, so that shallow rooted plants are often heaved entirely out of the ground by repeated thaws. Grass which has developed a deep, sturdy root system, will re sist heaving successfully. Poorly nourished grass will have shallow roots and may suffer serious injury. A relatively poor lawn may be put into condition by proper attention this fall, though it would be much better if it were cared for through out the season, and fed to produce a heavy growth which will kill out weeds, and resist the heat of mid Eummer. The most important fact in pro ducing a sturdy, deep rooted turf is adequate plant food. Grass makes heavy demands upon the soil and will quickly exhaust its food supply if it is not constantly renewed. An adequate feeding program calls for four pounds of a complete plant food at the rate of four pounds per 100 square feet in the early fall after the heat of summer has passed. When watering the lawn soak it throughly, as sprinkling en courages the development of shal low roots, which suffer from heav ing. Do not cut the grass shorter than two inches or let it grow long er than three inches. When making new lawns start with the preparation of tho snil Spade to a depth of at least six inches and pulverize thoroughly. Apply a complete plant food pvpn. ly at the rate, of four pounds per iuu square ieet and work into tha soil with a rake.

CARS HAVE SMASHUP Sheriff Joe Mrasek was called out to the vicinity of Weeping Water Sunday to look into an auto wreck on highway No. 50. three and a half miles north of Weeping Water. A car driven by D. M. Garrison, of Weeping Wcter and one driven by Robert Anson, of Wabash, side swiped as the two cars were passing on a narrow bridge. Both cars were damaged to a great extent but none of the occupants suffered serious injury. WORD OF APPRECIATION It is with deepest gratitude that we extend to our dear friends and neighbors for all the assistance they afforded us at the time of the sick ness and death of our loved one. Especially do we wish to thank those who contributed flowers, participated in the funeral service itself and those who in any way assisted in making our burden lighter. The Children of George Lloyd.

Lloyd was born in Peoria, 111., March 1, I860 and departed this life Oct. 19, 1941 at the age of 81 years, 7 months and 19 days. When a boy of seven, he came here with his parents, William and Eunice Lloyd to the community known as Three Groves, in the vicin ity where Murray now stands. Here they started to break the soil for the new state of Nebraska and saw many developments in that time. In the year of 1892 he was united in marriage to Mary Etta Cotner and to this union five children were born. The wife preceded him in death 13 years ago and one daugh ter died in infancy. The living children are: Mrs. Frank Marler (Esther) Mrs. Frank Dill, (Agnes) Mrs. Roy Cole (Fern) and Anderson Lloyd of Colorado. There are nine grandchildren and two great grandchildren; nephews and nieces and a host of friends. He was a pioneer of Cass county and farmed in this community for 60 years where his family was raised. He had been in failing health for the past five years. Since the death of his wife 13 years ago his home has been with his children until a few months ago when his condition needed special care and was taken to the Austin rest home where he passed away. He is the last of a family of six children. He has been a member of the Otterbein church since it was built and also a member of the Ma sonic lodge for many years.
