Amatuer gardeners have no need to
fear that the usual supply of garden
seeds from Uncle Sam will not be
forthcoming this year. Congressmen
now are busy making the usual talks
about doing away with the customary
appropriation for seeds, but each has
his fingers crossed.
-o
The Frontier has received several
boiler-plate comments on the pro
posed call for a constitutional con
vention which seems likely to pass
the legislature. They are both for
and against. It is nice to receive this
stuff, already in type, but if the
rheumatism don’t strike us we will
continue to do our own writing.
-o
English war munition factories are
offering shells to the United States
cheaper than American factories will
furnish them to us. English produce
dealers are shipping cargoes of spuds
to America. The American munition
factories are working night and day
to furnish supplies to the allies at
fancy prices. Wonder who is getting
the split on the other side of the
pond?
-o
Sixty-five horses were burned to
death in a livery barn fire in Omaha
the other night. The horses, as is
the custom in livery barns in the large
places or where ground space is val
uable, were kept in the basement.
There was no possible chance to save
them, after the fire had started. The
state, cities and towns all should join
in regulations prohibiting stabling in
basements. The basements are not
only dangerous fire risks, but generally
are unsanitary and poorly lighted, to
the detriment of the animals health
and sight.
-o
The Rev. Titus Lowe of Omaha
should be awarded a leather medal
for being the champion trouble-seeker
of the universe. The reverened
gentleman must have been hating
himself the other evening when, in
addressing a graduating class a ma
jority of which were girls, he handed
out the following: “A career is not
for the normal woman.” Now there
isn’t a normal woman in Omaha. They
all are abnormally angry and are de
claring and writing stinging little
criticisms of Mr. Lowe.
-a
The Frontier has received a number
of letters the last few days, the
sympathetic writers of which all offer
employment to the deserving and
hungry young man mentioned in last
week’s issue. Through some oversight
the story of last week omitted to
mention that the young man is not
in need of work, has lots of it and is
not seeking any more. The gentleman
in question is A. A. Driggs of the Mc
Ginnis Creamery company. He is
hungry because he is dieting to re
duce his flesh.
-o
Representative Jerry Howard of
Omaha at present wears the belt as
the champion long-distance talker of
the legislature. Jerry spoke eight
times on one bill, in one afternoon,
recently. But just wait until some
one tries to reduce the appropriation
for the Valentine fish hatcheries and
Col. George Tracewell gets into
action. Once upon a time, when the
colonel was mayor of Valentine, the
tooth carpenters of northwestern Ne
braska held a convention in his bali
wick. The colonel as official orator
for the city, the commercial club and
at large delivered fifteen separate
and distinct orations and they were
all humdingers. Besides, the colonel’s
voiec will never tire for he is an
auctioneer of more than thirty years
standing.
Holt county citizens seeking in
vestments for their idle or surplus
funds should beware of certain kinds
of investments now being widely ad
vertised in the metropolitan news
papers. Some of these schemes offer
stock or small acreage in sandhill
truck garden enterprises, “badland”
vineyards, new motor and tractor
factories, palace hotels at water
tank stations, etc. Some of the
concerns advertised are O. K., but
others after investigation have had
their advertisements thrown out of
legitimate publications. Some even
tually may have trouble with Uncle
Sam. It is better to consult your
banker or some successful business
man in whom you have confidence be
fore investing. “Sure enough” good
things, paying big returns on the in
vestment, are not being offered to the
public at reduced rates just now.

he would not distribute seeds because
