Colonel Roosevelt returned from his southern hunting trip the first of the week and the politicians are eagerly waiting his first political move. -o W. L. Minor, deputy state auditor, has filed as a candidate for the re publican nomination for that position. Mr. Howard, the present auditor, has filed for the republican nomination for congress from the Second district. -o Felix Gallagher of Rosalie, Thurs ton county, has filed for the demo cratic nomination for state treasurer. Felix was a member of the 1911 ses sion of the legislature and was chair man of the powerful finance ways and means committee, in which position he more than made good. He is a clean cut, likable gentleman and will make Standing Candidate Hall go some at the primaries. -o In the investigation into the “frenzied finance” of the New Haven railroad, now on before the Inter state Commerce commission, the for mer president of the road testified that the New Haven paid $11,155,000 for a road valued at $5,000,000. The profit made out of the deal was divided among the financial buzzards and the shippers were expected to pay freight rates high enough to pay interest upon the 110 per cent of watered stock. -o Governor Morehead is flirting with the second term bug and is seriously considering ignoring his solemn prom ise to accept but one term as governor and will probably file for renomina tion. Democratic office holders throughout the state and appointees of the governor are anxious for him to again be a candidate as they are de sirous of holding onto their jobs as long as possible, and have been circu lating petitions the past two weeks. If Morehead has the political sagacity that he is credited with having he will stay out of the race for governor, as nothing but certain defeat awaits him at the polls next November. LOCAL MATTERS.

Dickson returned last Saturday night from a two weeks stay at Excelsior Springs, Mo. Judge Dickson says that Arthur Ryan is slowly recovering from his recent severe illness and left the latter part of the week for the home of his parents at Amozonia, Mo., where he will spend a few weeks recuperating. John M. Grutch is of the opinion that he has a couple of the champion cows of the county, and he has reasons for his belief. From four cows that are fresh this spring he has six calves, two of the cows having twins. John is of the opinion that if he had a herd of forty or fifty cows as good producers as these two that he could assist materially in reducing the high cost of living.

John’s many Holt county friends extend congratu lations and hope that his pathway and that of his estmable bride, through life, will always be strewn with roses. At the state meeting of the Knights of Columbus in Omaha last week O’Neill was selected as the place for the next annual convention, in May, 1915. It will up to the members of the local council and the citizens of our city generally to show the delegates a good time when they visit us next year, and as this city is noted for its hospitality we are of the opinion that the delegates to the next state con vention will be well pleased with their reception by the citizens of this city. A heavy rain visited the country north, west and east of this city last Tuesday night. There was hardly any precipitation in this city, but the rain reached to the edge of town. In the John Robertson neighborhood, north east of this city, the rain was in the nature of a cloud burst and we under stand that all of the little bridges on the Red Bird and Black Bird creeks were washed out. The rain was much heavier than the rain of a year ago this month which done so much dam-' ages to bridges in the northeastern part of the county. We understand that a little hail accompanied the storm in the Mineola country, but there was not sufficient of it to do much damage to crops. A few of the base ball players got together the other evening and or ganized a base ball team for the com ing season and elected O. O. Spooner to look after the interests of the team as manager. A game is billed for next Sunday with Dorsey and the boys say that they will make the boys from the north “go some” if they want to be returned victors at the conclusion of the contest. The team will have to have new suits and they are figuring upon giving a ball some evening in the near future to raise money for the purpose of purchasing suits. It has been some time since O’Neil has been upon the base ball map and the boys should be encouraged by our citifiens so that we will be able to have a good fast team to uphold the honor of our city upon the diamond. Let us get to gether and boost for the team. Depths To Which Crops Use Moisture. “Oats, spring wheat, barley, and corn feed to a depth of four feet,” says bulletin No. 140 of the agricul tural experiment station of Nebraska. “Winter wheat feeds to a depth of six or seven feet; perennial grasses dry the soil out to a greater depth. Al falfa will send its roots to greater depths for water than any other farm crop if water is available in all inter vening portions of the soil to supply the roots while making this greater growth. In this manner alfalfa on the second bottom lands usually obtains permanent water supply. The roots frequently go down to the sheet water where it is within twenty or thirty feet of the surface.” Memorial Day. More than fifty years have elapsed since the beginning of the most stu pendous civil war in history. At that time the young men of our country were called to prevent the division of our nation. Mary died on the field of battle, many from wounds and many from disease incident to war. Time has nearly completed the work of death, and very few of the veterans are alive to recite the great story. The Thirtieth of May has been set apart and made a legal holiday to honor the living members of that Grand Army and to decorate with flowers the graves of those who have passed on. As a patriotic duty we should ob serve this day by refraining from our. usual work, business and pleasure, and by devoting the time to the usual exercises on that day. The benefits will be three fold: Honor to the living old soldier, reverence to the memory Something of Interestto the house Wife When you clean house what are you going to do with those Curtains?

It is requested that all those owning automobiles will offer their use on that day to the com mittee to convey the old soldiers, children and others to the cemetery. Those who will furnish flowers will notify Mrs. G. A. Miles. All of our good citizens are requested to be pres ent at the exercises at the K. C. Hall. T. V. Golden, Mayor.
