LAST SUNDAY’S CROW KILL
NOT OVER 3500. WAS
POOR DAY FOR SHOOTING
Not more than 3,000 or 3,500 crows
were killed by crow hunters in the
eastern half of Holt county last Sun
day, the second day of the big crow
shoot, according to conservative esti
mates. The day was not a very good
one for shooting as most of the crows
resorted to the open fields and stayed
away from the fly-ways and rookeries
until late in the evening. However a
number of bags of from fifty to
seventy-five crows were reported and
many of the hunters managed to ac
cumulate from six to a dozen crow
heads, all of which helped to swell the
total. The slaughter was heaviest
down around Ewing, where Newt
Trommershausser is acting as one of
the major generals and L. E. Skid
more as official crow caller.
One of the unfortunate experiences
of the Sunday shoot was an incident
reported as occurring to the two Jims
—Davis and Davidson—of this city.
It seems that these gentlemen repair
ed during the day to a section of the
country down around Mud bridge said
to be much frequented by crows. The
birds were not at home when they
called, so along about sundown they
strolled over to the Hoxie grove, where
a lone crow was discovered asleep in
a tree. Mr. Davidson after a couple
Chas. H. Sloan
for United States Senator
The following editorial recently appeared in the Wil
ber Republican regarding the candidacy of Hon. Charles
H. Sloan for the Republican nomination for United
States Senator:
We are pleased to note that Hon. Charles H. Sloan, of
Geneva, has consented to stand as a candidate for the
republican nomination for United States senator. Mr.
Sloan combines all the qualities that make a*, ideal sena
tor. He is a scholarly man, of broad vision, and is not
apt to be swept off his feet by any of the fleeting fancies
that axe so often presented to legislators as a panacea for
the ills of the people, and yet he is always ready to give
open-minded consideration to every movement having for
its object the advancement and well-being of his constitu
ents.
“Construction Beats Criticism”
of thota managed to knock the sleep
ing bird off the limb. Then, with Mr.
Davis carrying the quarry, they mov
ed on down to the oiher end of the
grove, where another bird was located.
Arriving in range Mr. Davis laid down
the first bird and they both prepared
to shoot. The simultaneous discharge
of the two shotguns so frightened the
dead crow that he flew away and as
the second bird was missed the gentle
men were compelled to return to town
without any crow heads.
EWING CROW HUNTERS
HAVE HUNDREDS OF DEAD
CROWS IN COLD STORAGE
Ewing, Neb.. March 20.—Special to
The Frontier.:
Somewhere south of Ewing hun
dreds of dead crows are in cold stor
age, awaiting the spring thaw that
their heads may be counted for the
east side in the big crow hunt which
ends April 30. The birds were killed
in a grove, the exact location of which
has not yet been determined, some
time Sunday night, by “Ev” Ruby,
Rill Stanton, Coe Butler and “Dutch”
Sanders. The boys came upon the
crows in their rookery in the grove,
after the birds had retired for the
night, and at once opened up a bomb
ardment which lasted until the supply
of ammunition, amounting to 300
shells, was exhausted. Then from the
four foot blanket of snow which lay
beneath the trees they sorted out 110
of their kill and started back to town
along about midnight. Owing to the
deep drifts and the heavy roads Ew
ing was not reached on the return
trip until noon of Monday and the
hunters had to stop several times
along the route to borrow gas. If the
boys can find the grove again, which
they believe to be located on the John
Berrigan ranch, they are confident
that enough more dead crows can be
recovered to win the crow shoot for
eastern Holt. The hunters turned in
their 110 crow heads to J. N. Trom
mershausser, who will have charge of
them until the official count is made.

A PROCLAMATION
BY THE GOVERNOR
A cry of distress comes to the
American people from over the sea—
not from hundreds but from thous
ands, even millions of innocent} child
ren are perishing for want of food in
t ermany. They are asking for bread.
<*ny of our leading American men
ui id women have been there and truth
i'ully represented conditions as ap
palling.
uur American people nave always
been responsive to the cry for help
and will not be “found wanting” at
this time. In conjunction with the
national campaign for relief of tl\f
German children an Omaha Committee
has been organized with Frank B.
Johnson, Chairman. A number of
leading men are- on the committee,
among them James C. Dahlman
Mayor, W. W. Head, Ford E. Hovey,
N. B. Updike, Carl R. Gray, and F.
W. Judson.
In order that a general notice be
given and an opportunity to do ef
fective work I would request that the
various communities organize them
selves into individual groups to col
lect funds for the purpose herein in
dicated. The campaign will officially
close in March 22nd. What is done
should be done quickly. The children
are starving and delay will be fatal to
scores that are ready to perish. Funds
may be sent to Fred W. Thomas, Vice
President of the First National Bank,
Omaha, Nebraska, who is Treasurer
of the Campaign.
Given under my hand and Seal this

Origin of the Dollar.
The dollar was Introduced into
America by the West India trade be
fore the Revolution. The coinage act
of the 2nd of April, 1792, legalized It
and esiahlished it as a unit of Amer
ican currency. The Inconvenience of
the English system of money led con
gress In 1781 to Instruct Robert Mor
ris to devise a system of national
coinage. His suggestions were not
adopted, but those proposed by Jeffer
son were approved. He proposed the
dollar as a unit to be equivalent to
one hundred cents.

Who Pays Taxes
gVERYBODY PAYS TAXES!
rvne may not own land, or a house or a business
” but one living a normal life lives in a house and
follows some occupation.
U e who owns a house pays taxes direct. He who
* * rents a house pays taxes indirectly through
the owner.
..An increase in taxes on real estate causes an in- *
** crease in rents.
A n increase in taxes paid by the manufacturer
**causes an increase in the price of manufac
tured articles. •
HP he railroads pay taxes direct to the state and
* national. governments amounting to about 5%
cents out of each dollar earned.
•"Phe railroads pay their employees wages out of
■ which the employees pay taxes both direct and
indirect.
'T'he railroads buy material from the manufac
® turers who pay taxes jy>th direct and indirect.
Economists have figured out that one dollar in
every eight of the nation’s income is paid as
taxes.
The indirect taxes are approximately equal to
the direct taxes.
•phe direct taxes paid by the railroads plus the
* direct taxes paid by their employees together
with the indirect taxes paid by both, are equivalent
to considerable more than one-eight of the rail
way operating revenues.
11 would be more nearly correct to say that out
* of every dollar paid the railroads for transpor
tation, twenty cents, or more, eventually finds it
way through the various channels of taxation into
the coffers of the government, national, state and
municipal.
