We suffer from a shortage of rain
occasionally but when it gets right
down to the point where we have to
have it, it generally arrives.
-o
With John H. Kemp as the re
publican condidate for governor there
would be no question as to the election
of the republican ticket next No
vember.
-o
C. E. Burnman, of Norfolk, was last
week elected one of the directors of
the regional bank at Kansas City.
Mr. Burnnam’s election is an honor to
him and the banking fraternity of
Northeastern Nebraska.
The rain last night was easily a
million dollar rain, in fact its value in
dollars and cents can not be computed.
The faces that yesterday were drawn
and haggard today wear the smile
that won’t come off.
With the suffragists, the Ulsterites
and the Nationalists, commanding his
attention at home and Germany and
her allies watching for a good chance
to hop onto him, John Bull is liable to
be a very busy man during the next
few months.
John Maher was at the democratic
convention at Columbus and made a
short speech, but the roasting that
Joha was going to give King William
and Prince Charley failed to ma
terialize. It is quite evident that the
dove of peace was working overtime
at Columbus.
-o
P. F. Danker, of Butte, is also a
candidate for the republican-progres
sive nomination for representative
from the Fifty-fourth district, com
prising Holt and Boyd counties. Mr.
Danker is one of Boyd county’s most
prosperous farmers and would make
a splendid representative if nominated
and elected.

The republican state convention was
one of the best attended conventions
of that party held since the adoption
of the primary law, and one of the
most harmonious. Republicans from
every part of the state were confident
that the republican party would be
successful at the elections next No
vember.
-o
The action of the British soldiers
in Dublin, in shooting down unarmed
men, women and children on the
streets because a few people were
hooting the soldiers, is a disgrace to
the British government. Such con
duct might be expected in Mexico but
in a civilized country like England it
is outrageous.
Considerable discontent and dis
satisfaction is evident among the mem
bers of the progressive party in this
section over the prohibition plank that
was inserted in the state platform at
Lincoln. Many, who are opposed to
the liquor traffic on general principles,
say that the plank on national issues
has no place in the state platform
this year as we do not have a pres
idential election, and that its insertion
therein might possibly cost the state
tickets a good many hundred votes at
the coming election.
-o
The progressives, in their state con
vention at Lincoln last Tuesday, de
clared for woman suffrage and na
tional prohibition. Our fellow towns
man, M. F. Harrington, addressed the
convention in opposition to the pro
hibition plank. He told the delegates
that with that plank in the national
platform that in the city of Chicago,
which was carried by Roosevelt two
years ago with a majority of 15,000,
he could not get votes enough to flag
a hand car. Ilis speech did not appear
to have much effect upon the con
vention, however, as the plank was
adopted.
-o
While active war was not declared
at the democratic state convention be
tween the Bryan and Hitchcock forces,
some of those who were present say
that they felt all the time as if they
were standing on the edge of a vol
cano that was liable to erupt at any
moment. From newspapeer accounts
of the meting it seems that the Hitch
cock forces had the best of it but the
party leaders did not want to have
any row as long as so many of the
faithful were eagerly looking for fed
eral appointments, which are long
past due. Were it not for the patron
age question it is extremely doubtful
if the convention would have endorsed
the official acts and record of the
secretary of state. But, as they
recognize that he is very close to the
administration, in fact part of it, they
acted the “goody good” part and en
dorsed both leaders of Nebraska
democracy, as well as the ad
ministration of Governor Morehead.

How to Live Cheaply.
Substitute comfort for show. Put
convenience in the place of fashion.
Study simplicity. Refuse to be be
guiled into a style of living above
what is required by your position in
society and is justified by your re
sources. Set a fashion of simplicity,
neatness, prudence and inexpensive
ness which others will be glad to fol
low and thank you for introducing.
Teach yourself to do without a thou
sand and one pretty and showy things
which wealthy people purchase, and
pride yourself on being just as happy
without them as your rich neighbors
are with them. Put so much dignity,
sincerity, kindness, virtue and love
into your simple and inexpensive home
that its members will never miss the
costly flipperies and showy adorn
ments of fashion, and be happier in
the cozy and comfortable apartments
than most of our wealthy neighbors
are in their splendid apartments.
Borax Kills Flies.
As a result of experiments, the
specialists of the Department of Ag
riculture have discovered that a small
amount of ordinary borax sprinkled
daily ■ on manure will effectively
prevent the breeding of the typhoid or
house fly. Similarly, the same sub
stance applied to garbage, refuse, open
toilets, damp floors and crevices in
stables, cellars or markets, will pre
vent fly eggs from hatching. Borax
will not kill the adult fly nor prevent
it from laying eggs, but its thorough
use will prevent any further breeding.
The investigation, which included
experiments with many substances,
was undertaken to discover some
means of preventing the breeding of
flies in horse manure without lessen
ing the value of this manure as a
fertalizer for use by the farmer. It
was felt that if some means of pre
venting the breeding of flies near a
human habitation could be devised,
the disea.os spread by these filthy
germ carriers could be greatly re
duced. While the “Swat the fly cam
paign,” traps and other devices for
reducing the number of typhoid-car
rying flies are of value, they are of
less importance than the prevention
of the breeding.
Democratic County Convention.
The democratic county convention
met in the city last Saturday afternoon
as per call and was one of the tamest
democratic conventions held in this
county for years. The convention was
called to order at 2 o’clock by M. H.
McCarthy, chairman of the democratic
county central committee, and J. J.
Harrington was elected temporary
chairman and Nate Butler, of Inman,
was elected temporary secretary.
Mr. Butler refused to serve and J. A.
Butler, of Ewing, was elected.
Upon motion a committee consist
ing of T. J. Wilburn, Elmer Rouse
and J. F. O’Donnell was appointed on
credentials.
A committee consisting of J. A.
Robertson, E. W. Wilcox and Dr.
Rickard was appointed on permanent
organization.
On motion committee on resolutions
was appointed consisting of J. A.
Donohoe, C. B. Scott, N. J. Tuller,
William Morgan and Seth Aldridge.
A short recess was taken in order
to allow the different committees to
prepare their reports.
When the convention re-convened
the committee on credentials reported
the townships represented in the con
vention and their report was on mo
tion adopted.
The committee on permanent or
ganization recommended that the
temporary organization be made per
manent. The report was adopted.
Senator Donahoe of the committee
on resolutions read the following re
port of the committee and the report
was adopted.
Resolutions.
We, the delegates of the Demo
cratic party of Holt County, Ne
braska, in convention assembled, re
new and re-affirm our adherance and
allegiance to the principles of the
Democratic party as declared by the
Baltimore Convention.
We rejoice with the country in the
able, patroitic and honest administra
tion of President Wilson. We rejoice
in the party pledges that have been
fulfilled, and the deeds accomplished,
and we pledge the President our con
tinued confidence, loyality and hearty
support.
We express again our confidence
and admiration for our distinguished
citizen of Nebraska, the premier of
the administration, Hon. William
Jennings Bryan, and we heartily com
mend him for his great achievements
in behalf of world-wide peace. We
rejoice that the war with Mexico has
been averted and that friendly re
lations between the Mexican Republic
and our nation are soon to be estab
lished.
We heartily endorse the record of
Senator Gilbert M. Hitchcock and
commend him for the able and
patriotic service he has rendered to
the people.
We endorse and commend the Dem
ocratic members of Congress from
Nebraska and regret that the big
Sixth congressional district is not be
ing represented in Congress by a
membeer in sympathy with the ad
ministration, and we pledge our
hearty support to the Democratic can
didate who may be successful at the
primary election.
We commend and heartily endorse
the businesslike administration of
Governor John H. Morehead in the
matter of State affairs.
We endorse the record of Senator
John A. Robertson and State Repre
sentative Chris Anderson, and com
mend them for the able and efficient
work done by them in the legislature.
We endorse the businesslike and
economical administration of county
affairs by the Democratic county
officials and pledge the nominees of
the party to a faithful adherance to
the policy of efficiency and
economy, which has governed and has
been the policy of the party in the
past.
We heartily commend and endorse
the very able and impartial services
fo Hon. W. H. Thompson as Chairman
of the State Central Committee dur
ing the past two years and extend
him our sincere thanks for same.
We likewise commend and endorse
the untiring efforts and able manage
ment of M. H. McCarthy, Chairman
of our County Central Committee in
the past two yeras and say to him
“Well done thou good and faithful
servant.”
A motion was then made that the
chair appoint a committee of five to
select fifteen delegates to the state
convention. P. S. Hughes did not
like that method of selecting delegates
as he thought the convention should
have some voice in the matter, but no
one sustained him in his contention
and the motion prevailed. The chair
appointed the following committee:
J. A. Donohoe, N. J. Tuller, J. A.
Robertson, William Graver and O. F.
Biglin. After the committee was
appointed some of the members of
the convention thought it looked a
little too much like one man rule and
several of them were of the opinion
that the committee should report the
list of delegates selected by them back
to the convention for ratification and
Chairman Harrington asked the con
vention if they wanted them to re
port back and receiving a half dozen
vioces in favor of the proposition he
requested the committee to report the
list of delegates back to the convention
for ratification.
i ne committee tnen retired and m
a short time reported the following
list of delegates to the state conven
tion and they were upon motion
elected as the delegates: J. J. Har
rington, J. A. Robertson, J. F. O’Don
nell, John Kaup, T. V. Golden, E. H.
Whelan, J. A. Donohoe, Bernard
Hynes, M. H. McCarthy, W. H.
Graver, W. S. Morgan, Nels J. Tuller,
E. W. Wilcox T. J. Wilburn and
Frank Campbell.
M. H. McCarthy was then elected
chairman of the county central com
mittee for tha ensuing year and T. D.
Handley was elected secretary.
The following persons were elected
as members of the county central
committee from the various town
ships and they were instructed to fill
any vacancies that might occur upon
the ticket and upon the committee.

The convention as a whole was very
harmonious. The committee on res
olutions, it will be observed, endorsed
everybody and everyone was given an
opportunity to feel good, the Bryanites
and the anti-Bryanites; the former on
the endorsement of Bryan and the
latter upon the endorsement given
Hitchcock and Morehead.
Commends Uttley’s Article.
July 16, 1914.
To H. M. Uttley, Attorney at Law.
Dear Sir: I am pleased to see you
have brought action against the
supervisors with reference to letting
contracts for bridge work to the
Townsend’s or Western Bridge Co.
It would be interesting to know how
much these people have received in
the past from the bridge funds of this
county. However, I understand the
supervisors records do not show only
a part of the transactions, (called
county business.) The bridge fund
has been overworked for a dozen
years and the incompetency of the
work has been the biggest source of
profit. Now, I for one will be pleased
to see a big change in the Modus
Operandi of the supervisors, and all
officers of the county held to a strict
accounting of the law made to govern
their official acts.
This fall we elect a new set of of
ficers. We should be careful to sort
out who may have the taint of graft
in his blood or a lack of ability and cut
him out regardless of politics.
Pledges are no good without
principle and principle that can be
bought is of a low grade.
Yours truly,
L. E. Harding.
How Europe is Preparing for War.
Russia: Troops being massed on
eastern frontier; czar informs kaiser
any invasion of Servia by Austria will
be signal for general mobilization
orders.
Germany: While kaiser is en
deavoring to adjust situation with
czars orders for army mobilization
drawn up ready for issuance; battle
ship fleet concentrated in home waters.
England: British navy held under
orders; government officially still
hopeful of peace but making ready for
any contingency.
France: Troops being moved
toward eastern and northern borders,
gold being withdrawn from circulation
by bank of France.
Italy: Warships ordered assembled
in home waters.
Austria: Vast movement of troops
on to over-ride Servia; Danube river
border under control; battleships or
dered to Fiume; reservists called to
the colors.
Servia: All able bodied, men re
gardless of age, called to military ser
vice; Nish established as capital.
Montenegro: Preparing to invade
Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Timely Horse Notes.
New oats and hay had best be
omitted from the work horse’s ration
until cool weather.
Foals at this season need a little
oats daily to keep them growing
rapidly and to prepare them for
weaning.
In hot weather all horses should
have a good drink after eating their
evening feed. Turn them out nights
if possible.
An alfalfa patch is a fine place nights
for horses from now until October.
If you have to use sweat pads try
one of the black, two-piece kind made
of oilcloth. They are cool, dry, and
practical.
Flies are unusually bad this season.
Darken the stables where practicable.
Treat little sores carefully and keep
them protected from flies.
This is the season to detect horses
which have been overheated. Wind
broken horses are easy to detect at
any season by their noisy breathing.
From a practical viewpoint, however,
they are generally more useful in the
