We wonder If all the farmers
around O’Neill who sell cream know
that they are getting much more out
of their cream than they would If we
were not here. Well, they are. We
have meant higher prices besides
opening a market for sweet cream at
a high price. Are YOU doing YOUR
part by patronizing the creamery that
has done this for YOU? If not WHY?

Children are much more likely to
contract the contagious diseases when
they have colds. Whooping cough,
diphthera, scarlet fever and consump
tion are diseases that are often con
tracted when the child have a cold.
That Is why all medical authorities
say beware of oolds. For the quick
cure of colds you will find nothing bet
ter than Chamberlain’s Cough Rem
edy. It can always be depended upon
and Is pleasant and safe to take. For
sale by all dealers.
The farmers In Holt county are re
alizing more and more how muoh good
we are doing for them. It has meant
many, many dollars to them because
of the higher prloes we have paid for
cream which they would not have re
ceived had we not been here. On ac
count of this our list of patronB is
growing right along. We have open
ed a market for sweet cream too at a
high price. Are YOU a patron? If
not WHY?—McGinnis Creamery

Have Dissolved Partnership.
Hot Springs, (S. D.) Weekly Star:
The firm of J uekett & Ward, attor
neys-at-law, was dissolved the first of
the week by mutual agreement. The
business of the old firm was retained
by Mr. Juckett and Mr. Ward has
opened up a new office on the second
floor of the Peoples National bank
building.
E. R. Juckett, the senior member
of the late firm, makes a specialty of
land cases and commercial law, and
will continue in this branch of the
business while Mr. Ward will take up
a general practice.
P. F. Ward, who has been the junior
member of the firm, is a graduate of
the Creighton College of Law at
Omaha, and is admitted to the su
preme court of Nebraska and all the
courts of this state. During his re
sidence here as a member of the firm
of J uekett & Ward, he has proven
himself a young man of ability and at
the different terms of court made an
excellent showing in a number of
cases in which he was interested, fie
is especially adapted to court practice
and will make a specialty of this
branch of the business.
As evidence of the fact of his popu
larity since coming here he was re
cently elected as secretary and pub
licity man for the Commercial Club
and will assume these duties April 1st.
O'Neill Defeats Atkinson.
Frank O’Donnell, Rody Ryan and
Laurence Chapman representing the
O’Neill High School wrested a victory
from the Atkinson High School here
last Friday, assisted by the enthusias
tic cheering of our home people and
the lusty yells of the school pupils.
This victory gives O'Neill the cham
pionship of this district.
The Atkinson team composed of
William Humpel, Edwin Stratton and
Darley Raymer were good in general
argument, but were greatly Inferior
to our boys in rebuttal.
The placing of O’Neill on the cham
pionship map is largely due to the
study »and ability of our debators,
coupled with the untiring energy and
faithful work of Supt. Gorby in pre
paring them.
The judges were: W. E. Scott, At
kinson, M. E. Crosier, Norfolk and E.
H. Whelen, O’Neill. They selected
Rody Ryan to represent our school at
Lincoln in May.

Hay Land in Nebraska.
O’Neill, Nebr., March 21, 1912.
Mr. Editor: I read with much in
terest the letter of Mr. J. F. Shoe
maker in the last issue of the Inde
pendent. There were a great many
things that Mr. Shoemaker might
have said about the hay business gen
erally that he ommitted to say. Iam
of the impression that the people gen
erally do not understand the profit
there is to be derived from the hay
business and the gold mine that the
people of Holt county have right in
their midst.
As you know, I have been engaged
almost exclusively in the hay busin
ess for eleven years and during that
time have bought and shipped 10,000
carloads of bay, and during all of that
time, there has been a period of more
than two years when hay has not been
$10.00 per ton on the track at O’Neill.
It has been my observation that no
class of men engaged in any other line
of agriculture or business have made
the money and prospered as have the
men on the hay farms. When you con
sider that the only cost in (producing
and marketing hay is as follows:
Cost of mowing.40
Cost of raking.10
Cost of stacking.50
Cost of baling. 1.50
Hauling and putting In car on
track.75
Makings total of approxi
mately per ton. $3.25
1 have computed the above figures
on a basis of $4.00 per day for a man
and team. From these figures, it will
readily be seen and understood where
in the great profit is between hay
growing and grain growing. To raise
a crop of grain, the land must be
broken, plowed and the seed must be
sown, and harrowed and the grain
harvested. If planted to corn, it must
be plowed and harrowed and planted
and cultivated and then the corn
must be harvested. The man grow
ing corn takes his chances with the
elements. He may lose his crop by
drought, excessive rains, or hail. But
the hay crop never fails. It is never
damaged by hail and is never a failure
by drought.
Ths hay lands over the country gen
erally are diminishing very rapidly
The land is being plowed up and us
ed for other purposes and the cost of
the prairie hay is going to gradually
increase in my judgment from this
time on. I might say further that it
has been my observation that there
is no class of land that is so
eagerly sought to be rented or
brings a larger ‘income that dees hay -
land.

Sort of queered that paint ad of ours, but people
intending to brighten things up in the spring
have been laying in supplies, taking advantage
of the rare opportunity to secure the best ready
mixed paints at actual cost.
We still hav.e a good stock on hand and if you
are going to need anything of the kind it will
save you money to make your selection here.

The hay grown in the Elkhorn Val
ley and in this section of the country
is some of the choicest hay that is put
on the market and commands the
best prices, and the demand for this
hay is increasing every year. We are
shipping hay from O'Neill to the fol
lowing states: Colorado, Wyoming,
South Dakota, Nortn Dakota, Wiscon
sin, Minnesota, Michigan, Illinois.
Iowa, and Missouri. Today hay is
now worth on the track aj O’Neill
*16.00 per ton. I do not pretend to be
a prophet, but if I were to make a pre
diction, It would be that in the very
near future Holt couniy natural hay
land will be btinging from *100 to *125
p i-acre. J ust a few miles east of us,
lands that are used exclusively for hay
purposes and that do not cut any more
hay than do the lands in Holt county,
are bringing this tigure now.
What Mr. Shoemaker has accom
plished by many others and this line
of Industry has not been developed
nor have the natural hay lands been
appreciated as they should be, for this
industry is here to stay and is, in my
judgment, one of the industries that
is going to put more money in the
banks and increase the value of the
assessor’s roll in Holt county than any
other. Yours truly,
J. B. By an.
