MILL DEMAND INVESTIGATION
OF OLSEN KILLING
Relatives of Thomas Olsen, shot and
killed by Walter Holcomb near Cham
bers Sunday night will demand that
County Attorney Chapman fully and
impartially investigate the killing.
They are not satisfied with the story
that Olsen was killed by Holcomb in
self-defense and that Olsen attacked
him without provocation. An uncle,
U. Hotskin of Long Pine, arrived in
O’Neill Thursday afternoon to look
into the shooting. Olsen was shot
twice, Hotskin says it was disclosed
when the body was taken to Newman
Grove, another wound in addition to
the one found at the inquest having
been discovered. Both bullets were in
the body he said, one wound indicating
that Olsen was shot after he was
down. Hotskin also says that they
have evidence of a previous disagree
ment between the men and that Hol
comb had threatened Olsen.
NORTH NEBRASKA GOLF
MEETING ENTHUSIASTIC ONE
Parnell Golden was eliminated from
the contest Wednesday afternoon by
a stroke of hard hick. Parnell was
leading at the seventeenth hole with
one up. He landed on the green nicely
with (,'hances of making it two up at
that hole, but jnade a bad put and tied.
Or. the nineteenth hole he sliced the
bell and it went into the river, which
put Parnell out of the contest.
The O'Neill Club is bound to win
the Secretary’s fight as in this contest
the only two left in the finals are T.
V. Golden and Ben Ilarty, both mem
bers of the local club.
About twenty members of the local
club were in attendance and some
cracks were eliminated In the very
*■ first contest. But two members of the
local club were able to qualify for the
championship flight,, Frank Biglin and
J. P. Golden. Frank was put down
and out in his first contest, but Parnell
managed to last to the semi-finals.
The Norfolk News contains the fol
lowing account of the very interesting
games played Wednesday morning:
“J. Parnell Golden of O’Neill was
elected president of the Noth Nebras
ka Golf association at a meeting here
Tuesday night. Dr. L. L. Nelson of
Norfolk is secretary. Norfolk was
selected as the place for the 1922 tour
nament.
“Faght of the fastest golfers of the
North Nebraska Golf association
started out in the third round of the
championship flight of the annual
tournament on the Norfolk Country
club course early Wednesday morning
with Parnell Golden, the O’Neill crack,
heading out as the favorite, and pitted
against George W. Davis, former med
alist. Ligion of the' Omaha Field was
pitted against B. W. Beelei;, a new
local sensation; Nelson, the local
Country Club champion, was contend
ing with former Champion George
Christoph and Breyer was playing
Mayer.
“Golden's contest with Davis was
considered the biggest event of the
third day’s program of the tourna
ment.
"The six local goiters emergen from
the second round after some very hot
contests on Tuesday leaving Golden
and Ligion the only out-of-town play
ers remaining in the premier round.
“The big feature in the second round
of the championship flight Tuesday
was the Golden-Boyle match which
Golden took in nineteen holes. The
other big game was the Beeler-Mc
Kiinnon match in which the associa
tion’s champion was eliminated by
Beeler whose sensatioinal playng has
attracted unusual interest. Beeler had
eliminiated McKinnon in the local
championship game recently and when
the two men were matched in the first
round of the association contest their
game drew a big gallery.
“Beeler outplayed McKinnon from
v the start, the game ending in his
favor 3-1.
In the president’s and secretary’s
flights, the playing in the second
round was practically finishel Tuesday
evening, but there were no special
favorites, the third round Indicating
as close contests as Were found in the
championship rounds. About 100
golfers qualified and when the first
round of the three flights were started,
great enthusiasm prevailed in every
■contest and the course was filled with
golfers, each one having a mighty
tight game on his hands.
“A banquet was served on the club
grounds Tuesday evening. O’Banion’s
orchestra was to furnish the music for
Wednesday evening.
“It was hoped to close the big
tournament with the consolatioin
flights before Thursday evening.
“Tom Hutchinson of Long Pine,
who was a “dark horse” in the quali
fying round held too high a score for
the premier flight and slipped into the
president’s contest where he was go
ing good on Wednesday. On the first
round Hutchinson eliminated Toliesoii
(who was one of the favorites. Harry
Gallagher of Bassett, was playing
very good golf in the opening number,
but gave up the fray early in the game,
Frank Morgan who beat South in the
first championship round succeeded in
the second round. He was also slated
as a favorite this year.”
SECRETARY FALL DISCUSSES
CONDITION OF FARMERS
In last Sunday’s issue of the Omaha
Daily News there appeared an inter
view with Secretary of the Interior
Fall, secured by Hayden Talbot, one
of the Washington correspondents of
the News. This is such an important
article and touches on many of the im
portant question now confronting the
American people that we are repro
ducing a portion of the article:
After a column of introductory and
explanatory matter Mr. Talbot quotes
Secretary Fall as saying:
“I want you to understand,” he said,
“that I am not speaking for the ad
ministration nor voicing anything
more than my olwn persona) opinion.
With this understood, and speaking
for myself only, it seems to me the
time has come for us to go at the busi
ncss in hand with a national view
point, not international. We’ve listen
ed to a great deal of talk in the past
seven years about world affairs and
the necessity of our regulating our
own affairs to accord with the policies
of Europe. I have small patience with
this theory. I am for stopping short
and cleaning house—our own house.
“If, as has been so frequently charg
eu oi late years, we are piuiuuy ig
norant of European methods of diplo
macy, we are not any too well in
formed about the much more vitally
important matter of conditions in our
own country. Nobody seems to take
serioiusly, for example, what to me
seem to be one of the most menacing
facts the American people were ever
called upon to face—the fact that in
stead of a majority, less than 25 per
cent of our population are today en
gaged in keeping the rest of us alive.
“The census of 1910 showed that
considerably more than half the peo
ple in his country lived in communities
of 2,500 and under. In 1920 only 42
per cent of the population remained in
these rural communities. Of these it
is safe to say that more than one-third
arc not actually engaged in producing
foodstuffs, leaving only one-quarter o*f
the total population of the country to
feed the remaining three-quarers. And
the decrease continues, and will con
tinue so long as conditions remain un
changed.
“The policy of the government over
a great many years to encourage the
development of our manufacturing in
dustries has been amply vindicated by
the results of that policy. Our world
position in this regard is admittedly
first—(with the rest nowhere. I am the
last man to deplore our supremacy as
the world’s greatest manufactory. But
there is another side to the picture.
“The manufacturer’has an annual
turnover of twelve, fifteen, thirty
times. The farmer has but one turn
over a year. Government assistance
of the manufacturer has' grown to the
po'nt where necessarily the farmer and
the grower of live -stock have becqme
almost neglected. I don’t favor pater
nalism. It seems to me there has been
more than enoungh of that sort of
thing in the government’s administra
, lion of the past several years. But I
do believe in doing everything neces
sary to get us back on our feet as a
self-supporting nation.
“If twe don’t do everything neces
sary to change the tide that now is
taking men off the land and into
manufacturing plants—if we don’t
help the farmer and the live stock
raiser to the extent of enabling them
to offer labor at least equal advan
tages with the manufacturer—there
can be only one result. We shall have
to import from other nations more and
more of the necessities of life and be
come in an ever increasing degree de
pendent for our existence on water
borne foodstuffs. To me this seems
nothing less than inviting disaster.
Only blind ignorance or criminal stu
pidity, in my opinion, could account
for our continuing along lines that in
evitably would make us thus depend
ent—and thus vulnerable.
“Let us have a navy three times as
big us any other nation’s and still we
could be starved into submission if we
permit ourselves to grow further and
further away from the policy that has
served us so successfully in the past—
the policy that enabled us to produce
within our own borders plenty of
everything needed to support life. Get
labor back onto the land and extend
whatever other help the farmer and
■ "' ..I... ... — ..
live stock riser needs—and once again
we can go ahead full speed, without
tear of a world in arms against us.”
If this opinion of Secretary Fall’s
as to the most pressing problem con
fronting the new administration seems
to ignore problems which have been
held to be of vastly greater importance
-at least in many informed quarters 1
in Washington it is believed that
President Harding shares this opinion.!
The president’s attitude was express
ed to me by a man close to him who
gave permission to have what he said [
published on condition his identity was
not revealed.
“The president feels that one of his
greatest tasks,” my informant said,
“will be to convince the people that in
peace just as much as in war we should
be all whole-heartedly for America
first! He thinks that slogan, so much
in evidence while we were at war and
now an expression never heard, ought
to be brought back as an inspiring
move for every one of us to do our
part to keep our country in the van of
the nations of the world.”

If you were one of the young women at the
telephone switchboard, wouldn’t co-operation and
kindness on the part of the public help you to do
better work?
Any operator can point to switchboard signals
indicting the lines of certain persons for whom it
is always a pleasure to establish connections.
It will help your service if you co-operate with
your telephone operator, and accord her the same
consideration you would any other woman trying
her best to serve you courteously and well.

Northwestern Bell Telephone Company
School of Agriculture at Lincoln at the
nge of 16 years. This reduction of one
year in the entrance age limit was
made on account of the large number
of applications from 16-year-old boys
to enter school this fall. It has been
apparent to the faculty of this state
school for some time that many boys,
especially the more ambitious kind,
desire to complete their agricultural
education as early as possible. Those
who enter school at 16 will be through
at 20, and thus will be prepared to give
the best years of theiir life to getting
a good start at farming and stock
raising. The University School of Ag
riculture teaches practical farming
and stock raising, and every boy who
is at all interested in this great field
should investigate iwhat it has to offer.
The reduction in the entrance age limit
will accommodate a considerable num
ber of boys. The school’s enrollment
is usually about 300.
CERTIFIED SEED AVAILABLE.
Farmers in forty-five counties of
Nebraska are listed in the Nebraska
certified seed list just issued by the
College of Agriculture. Kanred wheat,
Nebraska’s improved Turkey Red
wheats known as Nebraska No. 6 and
Nebraska No. 60, White Kherson oats
known as Nebraska No. 21, Minnesota
Nc. 184 barley and Rosen rye are
listed. All of these grains have su
perior qualities. Kanred wheat is out
yielding ordinary Turkey Red wheat
from three to four bushels, as are Ne
braska No. 6 and No. 60 wheats. Ne
braska No. 21 oats is outyiclding ordi
nary Kherson oats seven to eight
bushels on the average. Rosen rye is
superioir to ordinary rye and is be
coming popular in the rye growing
sections pf the state. Farmers in the
South Platte section of the state who
grew Minnesota No. 184 barley are
well pleased with it. Certified seed is
seed examined in the field by repre
sentatives of the College of Agricul
ture. The history of the seed is traced
to be sure that the seed is true to
name. Mixtures of other grains, dis
eases, noxious weeds, etc., are notea.
If more than a mere trace of there are
found the field is rejected and not
certified. If accepted the trace of im
purities, if any, is listed. A list of
farmers growing certified seed may be
obtained by writing the College of Ag
riculture at Lincoln for Circular 108.
DAYS OF SCRUB
POULTRY NUMBERED
Poultry raisers are so keenly inter
ested in better stock that the days of
the scrub flock seem numbered. Out
of 75 Webster county farmer? who in
one day enrolled in the “Better Sires- •
Better Stock” campaign, 65 reported
standard-bred fowls. The flocks aver
aged 94 birds. The principal breeds
reported are, in the order named,
P'.umouth Rocks, Leghorns, Rhode Is
land Reds, Orphingtons, and Wyan
dottes. Barred Plymouth Rocks were
more numerous than other varieties
of the breed. White Leghorns pre
dominated in that breed and White
Wyandottes were more popular than
the Silver Laced. In filling out appli
cation blanks for enrollment in the
better sires campaign many farmers
emphasize the quality of their poultry.
Not only do they report that they are
using purebred males but in most in
stances the females are also standard
bred. \
PREPARING FOR THE
SCHOOL YEAR
Rural women’s clubs looking for
something of real value to do can well
afford to turn their attention to pre
paring for the coming school year, ac
cording to a new circular of the State
College of Agriculture. There are
many little things which can be done
for the average country school at
small expense, and Which will be of
much value and comfort to the children.
Many country schools are deplorably
lacking in drinking water facilities,
and physicians are unanimous in the
opinion that people do not drink
enough water. Do you remember the
old water pail which you were com
pelled to patronize when you attended
the country school? The teacher
would delegate two youngsters to
tramp a half a mile down the country
road and lug back a three-gallon pail
of warm water, which thirty or forty
thirsty boys and girls soon drained to
the last drop, and then endured the
rest of the day with almost parched
throats. Many schools still have
ramshackle toilet facilities which are a
disgrace to any community. A little
time and a little money would relieve
this situaton. There are things about
many schools which would soon be re
remedied if1 the women of the commu
nity would band together and arouse
a little latent pride. Parents interest
ed in their children having better
schools should obtain a copy of this
circular. Ask for women’s club out
line No. 2.

NAVAL CONSTRUCTION HELD UP
Washington, Aug. 8.—As a conse
quence of the reduction in the navy
appropriation bill there has been a re
duction in the naval construction. The
navy bureau of construction and repair
issues monthly reports showing status
of all ships being built. The last
monthly report for the first time in
many years shows the word “Indefi
nite” in the column headed “Date of
Completion” after practically all of the
ships. In the battleship classes there
—■

are only two exceptions,--the Mary
land and California,—both of which
are completed and will be placed in
commission in August and September
respectively. Work on nine other bat
tleships is held up because of the cur
tailment of funds by the new naval ap
propriation act. Six battle cruisers,
nine scout cruisers, eleven destroyers,
thirty-seven submarines are all in
cluded in the “Indefinite” class.
ALL IN THE POINT OF VIEW.
Irrigation News: In the olden days
there lived in the vicinity of Shelby a
sheep herder named Bill. Bill, like
most members of his profession, was
wont to work faithfully for the greater
part of the year and then blow into
town and waste his substance in a
short period of notions living. Re
turning tfrom one of these trips broke,
his employer asked him:
“Bill, you left here with $40. What
became of it?”
Bill studied a minute and replied:
“Waal, I rekon, I lost about a hun
dred an’ fifty in a stud game. I must
a left ’bout a hundred at the Fashion
Dance Hall, an’ I reckon I spent close
to a hundred for booze.”
“What did you do with the other
fifty?” persisted the boss.
“Can’t remember exactly,” replied
Bill after due reflection. “I guess I
must of just natcherally fooled that
away.”

WHAT ANATOMY IS.
Texas Scapel: A little negro school
girl, down in .Florida, in answer to
this question, wrote the following:
“Anatomy is a human body. It is
divided into three parts, the haid, the
cheist and the stomack. The haid
holds the skull and the brains if they
is any, the cheist holds the liver and
the lites, and the stummick holds the
entrals and the bowels, which are a, e,
i, o and u and sometimes w and y.”
