SELLS FOR LESS
has been for a number of years.
Many farmers in that section started
seeding the forepart of last week.
Joe McCaffery, of Emmet, received
word the other day that his brother,
Dominick, had been elected to a
prominent position in the common
pleas court at Pittsburg, Pa. There
were six positions to fill and there
were 1800 applications for the posi
tions, one of which Mr. McCaffery re
ceived. The position is for life and
pays a very lucrative salary. Domi
nick McCaffery was a resident of this
city some twenty years ago and his
many Holt county friends will rejoice
at his good political fortune.
Mrs. A. J. Meals, of Valdez, Alaska,
was a pleasant caller at this office last
Friday, accompanined by Mrs. John A.
Harmon. Mrs. Meals has been in the
county since last fall, visiting with her
son, George, near Atkinson. Mrs.
Meals was a former resident of this
county, Mr. Meals serving as county
treasurer a little over a quarter of a
century ago. Fifteen years ago they
moved to Aalska, where they have
since made their home. Mrs. Meals
expects to return to her northern home
about May 1st.
The Farmers Unions of Holt county
held their regular quarterly meeting
in this city last Monday, delegates be
ing present from every union in the
county. A farm bureau was organized
and they will have charge of the farm
demonstrator and his entire time will
be devoted to Holt county, instead of
Holt and Boyd as formerly arranged.
Members of the union did not take
kindly to the idea of having one farm
demonstrator for these two counties
and they raised vigorous objections,
with the result that a change was
made.
Joe Bigler, who was one of the first
seven men sent from here to Camp
Funston last September, died at New
port News, Va., last Saturday. The
body has been shipped here and is ex
pected to arrive tonight and the
funeral will be held tomorrow morn
ing from the Methodist church, in
terment in the cemetery at Meek.
Relatives here have received no in
formation as to the cause of death.
Joe Bigler was a fine specimen of
sterling young manhood and was one
of those who volunteered as members
of Holt county’s first quota. He has
been stationed in Virginia for several
months.
Dr. Walter P. Hombach, who has
been a resident of this city the past
two years, will leave O’Neill about
April first, moving to Council Bluffs,
Iowa, where he will be associated with
his father, who is one of the oldest
physicians in that city. A brother of
Dr. Hombach was formerly associated
with his father, but he has entered the
service and Dr. Hombach Sr. is unable
to take care of his large practice, so
Dr. Walter will become associated with
him after April 1st. Dr. and Mrs.
Hombach have made many friends
during their residence in this city who
will regret to see them leave but wish
them success in their new home.
Margaret D. Heuton has filed suit in
the district court asking for a decree
of divorce from Frank W. Heuton, al
leging cruel and inhuman treatment.
In the petition she alleges that they
were married at Spencer, Nebr., on
December 4, 1914, and that ever since
that time they have been residents of
this county. She asks the custody of
their child, Loraine R. Heuton, aged
two years, alleging that the defend
ant is not the proper person to have
the care of the child. She alleges that
defendant has personal and real
property worth $3,000 and she asks
for reasonable suit money, permanent
alimony and such other relief as the
court may deem just and proper.
The U. S. Department of Agri
culture is sending C. F. Curtis, Dean
of the Iowa Agricultural College, to
talk over with Nebraska farmers the
important problems of production and
marketing. A meeting will be held
at Norfolk, March 28, at 2:30 p. m.
Every farm community should send at
least One representative, so that the
deliberations of the meeting may be
taken back home. Each representa
tive should come prepared to present
the special problems which exist in
his community. The live stock situa
tion, the seed corn and seed wheat
scarcity, and the difficulty of securing
farm labor are problems which are of
special importance at the present time
Goi^d halls of large seating capacity
will be furnished. The town will be
placarded so that the halls can be
easily found.
City politics has been warming up
the past few days. There are now two
candidates in the field for mayor. E.
H. Whelan, present mayor, and F. J.
Dishner, whom Mayor Whelan suc
ceeded one year ago. C. P. Hancock
is a condidate for city treasurer, to
succeed William Stannard, who is now
in the service of his country. John C.
Gallagher is the only candidate for
city clerk and he will undoubtedly be
given the office without a contest.
Charles Daly is a candidate for
councilman in the First ward, to suc
ceed Dennis Criss; in the Second ward
P. D. Mullen is a candidate to succeed
himself. There will be two council
men to elect in the Third ward, one to
succeed James Davis, whose term ex
pires, and one to fill out the unexpired
term of Dr. M. E. Pettibone, who has
removed from the ward. We under
stand Mike Johnson is a candidate for
one of these positions.
