ARTHUR G. WYANT
O’NEILL, NEBRASKA
Holt County? Abundance of sun
shine, fine roads for an auto ride, in
act we have the flowers—in the house.
We are advised that a case of hog
;holera in the northeast fcart of the
;ounty was the source of a loss of 200
hogs. The herd was not vaccinated
jntil affected by the disease. If swine
breeders are interested in vaccination
it is very poor policy to delay until the
disease breaks out in the herd. The
same is true relative to cattle with
“Black Leg.”
Floyd and Arthur Wertz advises
that they have contracted carpenter
work that will occupy the time during
he winter. It appears that substan
tial farm improvements are a strong
ndication of a more healthy condition
af money matters. We are inclined to
think to ap)[)ly conservation would be
an effective remedy to bring about
conditions that are more conclusive to
prosperity.

fHERE’S real delight in
being sentimental now and
then; in opening one’s heart;
in anointing one’s soul with
the oil of kindness; in passing along
a part of the happiness one feels.
It is good to be alive at the
holiday season; to share our joys
with others; to increase our happi
ness by giving a part to those who
may have less.
In this joyous holiday season
we hope your cup may be filled,
and that prosperity, happiness, and
good cheer may be yours through
out the coming year.
