I THE MASQUERADE. g
(Contributed by one of O’Neill’s fair ffbets.) +1
The Preabyteiians had a party, on a Friday nite, ifi
October 31st and oh! what a sight. Jw
At the door we were greeted by goblins and ghosts, fij
And were invited to descend the stairs and meet the host. Sj
The only entrance we could find and follow the rube, X.
Was thru’ a long dark passage and thru’ a rubber tube. fcbj
The gobblins, the ghosts, witches, gypsies and clowns, Jjl
Came all, dolled up, in their niftiest gowns. jf
We started our games, all sorts of them, too, t
And all plans we had made, went merrily thru’. jffi
The game of Pansy, in which all had a part, fit
Was the game that put pep into every sordid heart. J!
Then the master of ceremonies, our esteemed Maud S, Jj ]
Chose for her captains, the two she eonsided best.
Messrs. Burgess and Richardson were the gents appointed ffii
Then the games were on (after captains were anointed.)
I Cards by threes were then given, in their turn, to each W,
And down on our knees with naught of speech, W
To toss into a pan anxl watch wfio would win ra
Left handed Susan was the first one in. -Jfjj
Then came the hearbreaking, cracker eating contest
All other games excepted, this was the best, m
The contestants lined up in two long rows,
A signal from the leader—down the cracker goes. fit
A whistle from him is a signal to the next Hi
(Most of the whistles, were a ludicrous pretext.) n?
The row that did win, were exceedingly fast. . j+J
That bunch of crackers, were doomed not to last.
We blew funnels on strings, and silhouettes to cajole. S
Much credit is due our illustrious Mrs. Cole tt*
But the hours of morpheous were approaching fast W
And the time was fast arriving for the generous repast Kf
XI Consisting of sandwiches, coffee, pumpkin pie rich and sweet KT
tl And from the Sanitary Dairy, cream, that was certainly a treat, ttjl
yJ So here’s a toast to the Bible classes, May they linger long, and thrive yw
XT And all meet again in 1925.

fire department.
The crow shooting contest began on
November 1 and covered the full six
teen-day period. Thirty-three mem
bers of the American Legion com
peted with thirty-four members of the
lire department, shooting crows in
Knox County exclusively.
The firemen produced 939 crow
heads as proof of markmanship while
the American Legion men were able
to produce 917 heads. Legion men
report killing 285 crows in one night
and the firemen killing 242 as a maxi

MRS. PETER PHILLIPS.
Mrs. Peter Phillips died this morn
ing at about 5:30 o’clock from heart
trouble, at the age of 87 years.
Mrs. Phillips is one of the early set
tlers of the county, coming here in the
early ’80. She has made her home in
the northeast part of the county near
Star continuously since coming to the
county. Recently she has made her
home with her daughter, Mrs. Rollie
Sprague.
The funeral services will be held
Friday afternoon at two o’clock and
burial will be made at Star.
An obituary will appear in The
Frontier next week.
HALF THE ROAD IS YOURS.
An auto came rambling peacefully
along. Yes, is was a “Henry.”
On the windshield was noticed a
small card bearing the prominent,
easily read type, “Howdy! Half the
road is yours.”
That was 0. K.for us—we who have
seen many automobile drivers who
wanted to take all the road.
Half the road is yours. What a
pretty sentiment that conveys and
what a fine phrase it is if lived up to
—not only in travel, but on the roads
of ilfe.
In the eternal strife and struggle
that make business life, most of the
fellows who get far ahead are those
who crowd the other fellow off the
road—and, maybe, wreck his “ma
chine” by forcing it over an embank
ment, and there are many embank
ments and treacherous places in the
roads of life—just as there are in the
roads of travel.
If we are to enjoy life in its full
est measure there isn’t a better slogan
to go by than “Howdy! Half the road
is yours.”
Don’t try to hog the road—the other
: cllow has as much right to travel on
- as you have—and when you let him
have half the road to pass your ma
chine, you are showing courtesy and
good manners.
There won’t be many accidents on
the road if this slogan is kept to the
fullest interpretation: “Howdy! Half
the road is Yours!”—Exchange.
FOOT BALL.
The Ewing and O’Neill high school
football teams met on the local field
Friday, November 14th, the game
ending with O’Neill on the long end
of a 33 to 0 count. The two teams had
met earlier in the season and had
played a (5 to 6 game hence there was
plenty of feeling aroused regarding
the game.
However from the start O’Neill had
a decided advantage over the visitors,
carrying the ball over on straight
football within a few minutes after
the start of the game. Therefore
there was no doubt as to the outcome
of the game.
In view of the great number of in
juries sustained by the local team as
a result of the Ainsworth game the
showing made was quite satisfactory.

HOLT COUNTY’S DAIRY COW.
Holt county’s dairy cow population
is increasing. A 5.2 per cent gain in
the number of dairy cows twoyearsold
and over is noted for the district over
the preceding year, while the increase
for the state as a whole was 8.8 per
cent as compared with 1923. The en
tire United States shows an increase
amounting to 6 per cent, government
figures show.
The number of heifers 1 to 2 years
old as compared to the total number
of cows in this district seem to be
above the average, indicating the in
tention to bring more young stock
into milk in the near future.
In citing these figures our informant
calls attention to the fact that the
United States needs 320,000 more
cows every year if production is to
keep step with the normal growth of
demand for dairy products. There
are 1,412,000 more mouths to be fed
in the United States with every pass
ing year and with the increased con
sumption of dairy products per capita,
this added number to the nation’s nerd
will barely suffice to meet the in
creased demand.
CARD OF THANKS.
We wish to sincerely thank all the
neighbors and friends for their many
acts of kindness during the illness and
death of our beloved husband and
father. Also for the beautiful floral
offerings.

LEAVES FROM THE BOOK OF NEBRASKA

historic spots and incidents

Iihc first Map
of Nebraska
rlvas drawn by a rtian
who never explored
the country
ATHER Marquette says that during his famous voy
age of discovery down the Mississippi in 1763, he
did not visit Nebraska or see the Platte.
Yet, on a recently discovered map of his in St. Mary’s
College, Montreal, he outlines the course of the Missouri to
a point far north of this latitude. He lays down the Platte in
almost its exact location. The Indian tribes which he enumer
ates bear such names as Panas, Mahas and Otontantes which
can be easily translated Pawnees, Omahas and Otoes.
He collected all his information from Indians and only his
early death deprived us of a more detailed account of
Nebraska of that day, because he had hoped and planned to
explore the Platte.
The lure of the Buffalo country, called by the Spaniard,
Coronado “The land of Quivera”, has exercised its enchant
ment ever since. Its conauest is an epic of boldness and
courage, of endurance and perseverance in the face of dis
couragement and disappointment.
It is a record of determination and heroism. Tiu pioneer
spirit lives on in Nebraska. It has made Nebraska . 'and of
promise fulfilled, of opportunity unlimited. The suite stands
absolutely at the top in value of beef produced per capita.
No state spends more money per capita for education. No
state has a lower percentage of illiteracy.
Right now Nebraska sees the dawn of an even greater
prosperity than that which preceded the world-shaking and
paralyzing period of post-war chaos.
A Nebraska institution that has shared the labor of pio
neering and known Nebraska’s “growing pains’’, the success
ful operation of the Standard Oil Company of Nebraska is
absolutely dependent on the prosperity of Nebraska. By de
veloping and maintaining a state-wide and efficient service
for supplying gasoline, motor oil and kerosene for all the
people all the time—in the sparsely settled rural districts as
well as in rich cities—the Company seeks to be an asset of
increasing helpfulness. Constructive suggestions for bettering
