The new press, while small in s'.ze is mighty in production. Through a reverse printing pro cess, using chemicals combined with specially prepared inks, reproduces printed sheets at the rate of six to eight thousand copies per hour. Unlike letter press printing, the new machine reproduces not from type, but from zink plates that transmit Lhe facsimile to a rubber blanket held in place on a second cylin der, which in turn transposes the impression to the paper, giv ing a reproduction that is clear, smooth and eye appealing. The new press is especially adapted to the reproduction of ruled forms that heretofore TO whose friendly support lia contributed s.o greatly dining tlie past year, may we extend a cordial and appreciate e thanks. May "our Christmas e happy and the New Year prosperoiis. B. & M.

With the new process, the ruled form submitted for dupli cation can be photographed to a plate and be ready for printing in one-tenth of the time required by the regular method. Production of mailing pieces, whether in one, tw,o, or more colors, can be produced without the necessity of purchasing- ex pensive halftone engravings, which often times runs costs ex tremely high to the purchaser. During th past two weeks several hundred thousand re productions have been turned i out on the new machine for an Omaha concern and for the San ford Industries at Union, manu facturers of the Cellophane Kite, as well as several local business establishments. The new press places the Journal printing department in a position to compete wnn an comers within the limitations of the plant, not onlv in costs, but in quality of work as well. It has met with instant approval with the customers who have taken advantage of the added service available at the Journal. UNION METHODIST Rev E. C. Williams. Pastor 9:45 a. m.

YOU Dial 6198 1 0 Dial 6134 4-H Club Gives Start in Soil Conservation Ivan Chase, young Pawnee county farmer, got his start in soil conservation practices in 1T36 when he and his brother joined a soil conservation club. Their first club project was the making of pasture furrows. From the making of pasture furrows, their 4-H club work proceeded to contour planting of several lields. They also took out the fences between the fields. When Chase and his brother fot that far in sort" conservation club work, they saw that the conservation plan on their farm had to be on a larger scale. Their lather joined the soil conserva tion district in 1940 and had a complete map of the farm made to show all the conservation pro jects that could be placed on the land. Putting the conservation plan into effect made it necessary to remove field hedges and the like. A bulldozer was purchased and the program of conserving the soil on the Chase farm really started then. So far the bulldoz c r has been the only cash outlay for soil conservation work. Late last summer the Chases built a dam, with all of the work except for the grassed spillway being completed by the bull dozer. Ivan Chase says that he thinks soil conservation increases the value of the farm, its buildings and all that is on the farm. A complete crop rotation and ter racing program is followed on the farm now. All of the manure from the dairy herd goes onto the land. A five year crop rota tion program is being followed. Chase described the soil con servation program on his fam ily farm when he took part in discussions at the idea ( swapper during the Omaha Pasture-Forage-Livestock finish-up late in November. 500 Children Attend Party Monday afternoon the Vet erans of Foreign Wars were hosts to a Christmas party for the children of the community and a crowd of 500 were on hand to secure the treats and enjoy the program and entertainment provided. This was a Christmas party and treat that the war veterans had arranged and was a success in every way and made the children attending very happy over the event. The post had provided candy, apples and oranges for the child ren and it kept the vets busy in providing for the needs of the youngsters. County Superintendent Lloyd Eehrends was present with his motion pictures that provided a most interesting feature of the afternoon. A pleasant touch to the en- j tertainment was the tan danc- ing numbers given in which the class presented a number of well g-iven dances. - BIRTHS Twins: Sg-t. and Mrs. Coleman O'Bry an Jr., announce the birth of twins, a boy and a girl, weight five pounds. 13 ounces and five pounds, 8 ounces, Saturday, Dec. 20th at Ft.
