to live.
The Frontier is in receipt of a letter
from our old friend, J. B. Berry, one
of this county’s earliest settlers but
who has been living at Whitebird,
Idaho, the past five or six years.
"Back” says: “Find enclosed $2.00 for
subscription to The Frontier. Send
her right along, she is a dandy. I have
spent the greater part of the past
year in a hospital, but am much im
proved now.” “Back’s” many Holt
county friends hope that he will
speedily recover his old-time health
and vigor.
James Geig, of St. Edward, Nebr.,
was an O’Neill visitor last Monday.
Mr. Greig was for many years a resi
dent of Saratoga township, this
county, and was quite prominent in the
political affairs of the county in th«
old pop days. He left here aboul
twenty years ago, moving to Platte
county, where he has since resided
About ten years ago he invested in 800
acres of hay land in southeastern Holt
which he is offering at public auction
today. It is some of the choicest hay
land in the county and will no doubt
attract several buyers from the east
ern part of the state.
A. C. Purnell, of Atkinson, was an
O’Neill visior last Tuesday and made

Jewell county, Kansas, for $100 per
acre and gives the new owner pos
session on March 1, 1920. Mr. Pur
nell has been a resident of Holt
county for thirty-eight years, having
homesteaded the place he sold in the
spring of 1881. He has always been
a Holt county booster and one of our
most prominent and influential citi
zes. He says that he does not know
what he will do to keep busy, now that
he has sold the farm, but says that
he will remain in good old Holt
Bernard S. Mullen and Miss Ina
Owens were married at Gillette, Wy
oming, on September 4th, according to
word received by relatives here. The
bride and groom were former resi
dents of this city. For the past four
years the bride was stenographer ir
the law offices of Judge J. J. Har
rington and is an accomplished and
loveable young lady. When she left or
her vacation about August 1st none ol
her friends had an inkling that she
would soon become a bride. The
groom was born and grew to manhooe
here. He is the son of Mrs. M. Mul
len of this city. For several years h<
was engaged in the clothing and genti
furnishing business, with his brother
in-law, Ben Harty, until they disposee
of the business about three month!
ago. These young people have man;
friends in this city who wish then
many years of happiness and pros
perity.
Harry Hurst, who served four yean
in the Canadian army, has been heri
the past few weeks visiting friends
Prior to his enlistment, in 1915, h<
was working on the farm of Lorai
Simonson northeast of this city anc
has many friends throughout th(
northeastern part of the county. Lasl
week he had the pleasure of meeting
his brother, George Hurst, of Ot
tumwa, Iowa, from whom he had been
parted for nineteen years. This was
the first time the brothers had ever
met to know each other, and they had
a happy reunion. When they were
little tots their parents died and they
were placed in an orphan asylum,
from which they were adopted by
farmers living in different parts of
the country. Prior to his enlistment
in the army Harry had been trying to
locate his brother, but without success.
While across the sea he received the
information that led to the discovery
of his brother and as soon as he was
discharged he acted upon the infor
mation received and found him.
It is needless to say that after being
parted nineteen years the brothers
are enjoying their visit together.

Democrats Destroying Party.
The following clipped from the
Norfolk Press, one of the staunchest
and ablest of Nebraska’s Democratic
organs, gives some indication of
which way the wind is blowing:
“A newspaper friend who helped
wage many a democratic battle suc
cessfully in Nebraska, writes: ‘All of
us made long and hard fights to build
up the party and to make democratic
success possible and to have it frit
tered away destroyed in the building
up of their own vanity and selfish
ends, is enough to make any observ
ing democratic editor swear off in the
lifting of a finger for the party in the
future. The democratic party, well,
there isn’t much of a democratic party
left.’ And the words are only too
true—democrats in Nebraska are only
biding their time until they have the
opportunity to register their protest
against a leadership that has be
trayed them. Should President Wil
son by any chance seek the nomina
tion for a third term, he will hear
from Nebraska democrats in a way
that will be entirely beyond misin
terpretation. If he gathered during
his visit to Omaha that Nebraska
democracy was truly reflected in the
World-Herald he is a most misguided
man, a man to whom is coming the
surprise of his life. Why can’t the
political lieutenants be honest with
their captain?”
“Rumor has it that the east has
been pretty busy sounding oul
sentiment regarding U. S. Senator
Hitchcock for president. If our
own ear is close enough to the
ground and our hearing has not gone
back on us the sentiment in his home
state just now would not elect Mr.
Hitchcock to anything. He with
President Wilson are fast losing the
faith of the people of Nebraska once
held by both of them.”
This sentiment is becoming quite
general.
SEED WHEAT.
The Department of Agriculture
wishes to call the attention of all
farmers who intend sowing wheat this
fall to investigate the germinationg
properties of the seed they expect to
use.
Owing to the small yield of winter
wheat in many sections of the state
the quality in a good many cases is
considerably below the normal. The
normal percentage of germination as
calculated from all germination tests
made by the Division of Seeds of this
Department for the year 1918 was
98.85 per cent. Samples of wheat
Mr. Mechanic
A good mechanic is worth his price.
And in the long run, he is the cheap
est man to hire.
Your shop believes that. And that
is why you are on the pay roll.
We believe in this creed, too. That
is why we handle the best line of
made-to-measure clothes in Vmerica.
The tailors who make Royal Tailor
Built clothes are good mechanics—
master mechanics. And that is why
Royal Made-to-Measure clothes are the
cheapest to buy in the long run.
Believe us—those Royal cutters
handle the scissors as skilfully as you
handle a lathe—and that’s going
some!
We want to show you some of those
handsome Fall Woolens we recently
received from The Royal Tailors.
Don't think, because Royal clothes are
made-to-measure—that the prices are
going to be painful. Royal Tailoring
offers the best in made-to-measure
clothes at $35 to $65.
That’s reasonable—isn’t it?
It won’t cost you a penny to come
in and look. What do you say?
57 STEPS
SELLS FOR LESS
reaching this office in the past few
weeks show as low as 50 per cent ger
mination, the range for a large
number of samples being from 50 to
91 per cent of germination.
The Department advises that in all
cases the best seed obtainable be used
for seeding purposes even if this must
be shipped in from other points. In
all cases where any doubt exists as to
the percentage of germination of seed
a sample of such seed should be sent
to the Department of Agriculture,
Lincoln, Nebraska, where a germina
tion test will be made' free of charge.
Several samples obtained from ship
ments into the state show the pres
ence of Darnel seed, which is very
difficult to separate from the wheat as
the size of the seed is about the same
and the ordinary cleaning machinery
will not separate the two seeds.
Darnel is a weed not commonly found
in Nebraska and an effort should be
made to prevent the same from being
introduced into the state through this
means.
Not To Be Caught.
A brilliant wit of the bar looked at
a farm laborer, winked at his friend,
and whispered, “Now we’ll have some
fun! Have you been married?” he
asked.
“Ye-e-ees,” stammered the laborer,
“once.”
“Whom did you marry?”
“A w-w-woman, sir.”
“Come, my good man, of course it
was a woman! Did you ever hear of
anyone marrying a man?”
“Ye-e-es, sir, my sister Jenny did!”
