Did you know that the average American generates 4.6
pounds of trash everyday? We throw away almost 30
million trees a year from newsprint alone. Did you know that
a glass bottle thrown away today will still be here
in the year 3000?

NEWS FROM 100 YEARS AGO
Friday, 6-19-1914, The Otoe Union:
Former resident Fred Embree, drove from his home in
Merna, NE, to Lincoln in his brand new car. The trip was
250 miles and he made it in one day. He said, "They may
laugh at the Ford, but if a man has a machine that can climb
hills, leap ditches, and swim streams, he ought to be
satisfied. All it lacks is the power to fly."
Sumner G. Farnsworth, son of H.P. Farnsworth,
Unadilla, and Mildred V. Cox, daughter of J.D. Cox,
Nebraska City, were married in Lincoln. They met during
the time Mildred taught school in Unadilla.
