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.

as these two that he could assist
materially in reducing the high cost of
living.

City. Mr. and Mrs. Mullen arrived in
this city last Friday night and are
spending a few days visiting at the
home of Mr. Mullen’s parents, Mr.
and Mrs. James Mullen. 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

dead,
Who never to himself has said,
This is my own my native land.”
The program for the day will be
published next week. 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
