ENTHUSIASTIC CROWHUNTERS
HOLD BIG MEETING
More than a hundred sportsmen and
others bent on the annihilation of the
crow met with Capt. James McPhar
lin and the precinct captains of the
east side of Holt county, at the district
court room at O’Neill Tuesday after
noon to perfect arrangements for the
big county crow hunt 'which opens
March 15 and continues until April
30. Similar meetings under the
leadership of Mose Campbell, of At
kinson, captain of the west half of
the county, were held at Atkinson and
Stuart last week. Representatives
from all section and townships of the
east half of the county attended the
O’Neill meeting.
The two districts are to contest for
a purse of $300 offered by the county
board and of which $200 will go to
the winning side and $100 to the
losers. Prizes also are being offered
by the merchants in the several parts
of the county. Following are the rules
adopted for the contests:
The following rules and regulations
have been formulated for the govern
ing of the Holt County Crow Hunt to
be held from March 15th, tto April
30th, between the east and west
sides of the county.
1. Any man, woman or child resid
ing in Holt county east of the range
line between ranges 12 and 13, are
eligible to take part in the Crow kill
ing contest.
2. The Holt County Crow Hunt will
be conducted in conformance with the
state and federal game laws. Each
individual hunter of crows should in
form himself with regard to the state
and federal laws before taking part
in the contest.
3. Anyone shooting any game, song
or other birds in violation of the
game laws wity be prosecuted, Cap
tains are hereby notified to see that
this rule is inforced.
4. Each individual hunter will de
liver his crow heads accompanied by
a signed statement to his precinct
captain. Each captain will collect and
deliver crow heads to Captain James
H. McPharlin in O’Neill, Nebraska,
between April 28 and May 2, 1924.
5. Crow heads should be strung on
a wire for preservation. Heads
thrown in a pile will rot and many
heads will be lost in this way. The
executive committee suggests that
ten crow heads be strung together
upon a wire which will facilitate the
counting.

NOTES FROM THE NORTHEAST
Henry Doscher, of Star, visited at
the home of Thos. Dillet, of Page,
Saturday.
Farm sales are quite numerous and
changes of residents are unusual.
There appears to exist more or less
unrest with the farming element.
J. S. Nohle and wife entertained j
' some of the neighbors Sunday evening
with the radio they installed in their
home some time ago. They report an
j enjoyable and interesting evening.
Charley and Harry Johnson were
! on the Chicago market recently with
t ix carloads of fat) cattle. They re
turned home Thursday. The John
sons own and operate a ranch in Knox
< ounty near the Holt county line.
We are informed farm wages will
b# $50.00 to $65.00 ger month unless
farm product prices are stabilized.
We aro inclined to think that farmers
will farm less and intensify cultiva
tion. Less stock and better grades of
cattle and hogs. More good milk
cows.
Roy Pilger and wife, of Pierce
| county, are in this pa ;*t of Holt
coi aty. Mr. Pilger owned and oper
ate 1 a farm in Steel Creek township
for several years and is well and fa
vorably known in this part of the
county. He is engaged in farming

“Did Borea’s” March visits were
not solicited or welcomed. His inten
tions were to give us a taste of zero
weather but failed by a close margin.
He advised your correspondent that
he changed his residence from Alaska

Circle. He did not state why the
change but am inclined to think the
Japan earthquake the source.
Railroads Support
One-Seventh of Population
The railroads of the United States use in one form
or another 30% of the Iron and Steel produced in
this country. Of the more than 1,600,000 workers
in that industry, the product of something like
500,000 is bought by the railroads.
Of Bituminous Coal the same railroads consume 28%.
Engaged in the mining of this coal are 600,000 workers,
of whom 168,000 are employed only because their product
is needed for the making of transportation.
They also use 26% of the lumber output, which takes
more than 600,000 workers to supply, and the railroads
are therefore indirectly employing 126,000 persons in this
occupation.
The railroads have nearly two million employes of their
own.
With their families, the employes of these few indus
tries represent 12,000,000 people whose support is derived
from the railroads. Including smaller related industries,
not less than one-seventh of the entire population is de
pendent upon railroad work.
The railroads could not prosper without the other groups,
nor they without the railroads.
Co-operation is the keystone of our highly specialized
civilization-, and in the last analysis each man works for
the other.
