Considerable speculation is being
indulged in by the piscatorial artists
of this city as to just when the fishing
season will open and just what effect
the groundhog had upon the fish. Some
prophesy that the fish will not bite
until late this year on account of the
peculiar atmospheric conditions caus
ed by the little fellows when he emerg
ed from his winter hiding place on
February 2nd. One old timer claims
that the rivers and lakes will be closed
to the lovers of the rod until some
time'in April from the fact that the
first day of March was a warm, sun
shiny day with the thermometer
around 70 degrees F. This is supposed
to be a bad omen. March is scheduled
to “go out” cold and stormy. Joe

garded all objections and have brought
out the tackle-box and are planning
on a trip to the “fishin’ hole” in the

O’NEILL BASKET SHOOTERS
HAVE A GOOD RECORD
The O’Neill High School basket ball
team finished the basket ball season
on the home floor Wednesday evening
defeating the crack Ainsworth team
23 to 13 in one of the hardest fought
games of the season. Ainsworth is
the only team that has previously de
feated the O’Neill team this year ex
cepting the West Point team in the
tournament at Wayne a short time
ago.
So far this season the O’Neill team
has played eighteen games including
the tournament and have lost but two
of them, one of the games, however,
ended abruptly in the second half
when the O’Neill boys walked from
the floor at Atkinson following an ar
gument with the referee, the score was
24 to 17 in favor of the O’Neill team
at the time the trouble started. The
O’Neill team has scored 635 points to
their opponents 260.
The boys, accompanied by the Ains
worth basket ball team went to Lin
coln Wednesday morning where they
will take part in the state tournament
which begins today and continues Fri
day and Saturday. O’Neill will play
their first game with Lyons some time
today.

SHERIDAN WINS FIGHT

here Friday r’ght, having the St. Paul

the first round. Both fighters were
severely punished. Sheridan wa^out

SPENCERITES ANXIOUS
FOR CAPON EGGS
Spencer Advocate: “Since the ap
pearance of the article in the Advo
cate a few weeks ago of the sale of
capons and the big price they brought,
Mrs. Olin has had several inquiries for
“capon” eggs. Mrs. Olin only grows
White Wyandottes and was unable to
supply them. This indicates there is
a demand for capons and the (person
who finds a capon that produces eggs
has a small fortune. It also indicates
that it pays to advertise.”
For the benefit of Spencer enquirers
it is stated that Clarence Zimmerman,
Doc. Tickler and Ed. Davidson have
been experimenting with capons the
i past year and hope soon to develop a
producing strain.
FEDERAL FARM LOAN
LIMIT INCREASED
Limit Increased To $25,000 And In
terest Rate Reduced.
Farmers now make federal farm
loans somewhere near consistent with
their needs, and at a reduced rate of
interest. Congress at the session just
concluded increased the maximum
amount possible to be borrowed from
$10,000 to $25,000 and the Federal
Farm Loan bank of Omaha, to which
the local association belongs, follow
ing its policy oj making loans at
actual cost, has reduced its rate to
5Mi Tc. These loans are made for
thirty-four and one-half years with
very favorable prepayment privileges
and present borrowers are permitted
to incease their loans to the maximum
amount if the security is sufficient.
The increase in the maximum will be
of immeasurable benefit to rancherr.
and farmers of Holt county in enabl
ing them to sufficiently finance them
selves at a reasonable rate not only
through the federal system, but also
from private loaning concerns as the
drastic reduction of interest rates by
the government means that the pri
vate concerns likewise must make a
reduction to meet the federal competi
tion. It is predicted by Secretary
Treasurer James F. O’Donnell of the
local association that the federal rate
will be further reduced, to 5 per cent,
within a year. Secretary O Donnell
already is receiving numerous applica
tions for association loans from ranch
men and farmers who did not care to
take advantage of the federal loan
system at the old maximum of $10,
G00.
