Lanigan, Greeley, Nebraska | WHY MILK REMAINS SWEET I have just installed a new Reid Milk Cooler and Areator. The ii: : milk passes over the coils and cold water passes through them, iii The milk is cooled from 98 degrees to 55 degrees as fast as it is iii milked. The milk looses all the animal heat before being bottled and will remain sweet much longer. Due to the rapid increase in business since installing the cooler I believe it is a great help to iii 'll my customers. I have also built a large cooler holding 1200 pounds of ice for iii ; storing our butter and other dairy products. This insures you : receiving them in the best of shape. All the leading dealers in town handle our butter! When buy- iii ing, ask them for it. j SANITARY DAIRY | PHONE 84. F. W. LANCASTER, Owner. THE WONDER OF THE WORLD. (By Holt County’s Poet Laureate.) Where is there such another spot? I challenge any man! To find in all this whole wide world An equal if he can— Why! Any other place but this Opportunity flees before But here she sits right close at hand With an ever open door. You view in skies at night-time The beauties of a star And tho you use a good night-glass It still remains afar But here among our wonders Less than three short miles away We have a Star that’s visible To us in broadest day. You read and imagine characters In books you call the rage But we have real live people That live within our Page Who are so very generous To tourists who stop there That they have long had up a sign “Free Water and Free Air.’’ We have an Orchard off south-east Where one may get his bread Or candies for the kiddies dear Or clothing, too, ’tis said. And well I know when snow is deep Or one gets caught in storm There’s places in the midst of it That’s almost summer warm. Tho we have as yet no flying ma chines We can take our motor cars And in an hour be at Venus Or dead and darkened Mars And homeward bound amid oaken trees If we should lack on gas We fill up at the Middle-Branch Thus simple matters pass. A twelve mile run of northward hills Reveals another sight, A Red-Bird nestles in the dell Which stays there day and night And sings a song all thru each day Yet hearers n’er get nervous For its a song most beautiful ‘Tis service, service, service. Then westward we’ve a region With enchantment in the air You have the queerest feeling When ever you near there For tho no word is spoken You seem to hear and feel As tho ’twere being called aloud The cryptic word O’Neill. Now all these bear upon the life In manners (so to speak) That we have whole communities Known as Joy and Meek, Which add unto our wonders so That now the facts unfurled We ask you where’s another spot Its equal in the world. —F. 0.

WEST-ENDERS DEFEAT O’NEILL AT STUART SUNDAY AFTERNOON The going is even at present in the new series between the O’Neill and Stuart baseball aggregations. O’Neill Thursday of last week' defeated Stu art by a seoi'e of 9 to 3, on the local diamond, and Sunda'y at. Stuart the west-enders trimmed the home boys to the tune of 5 to 1. The Sunday game was witnessed by the largest crowd ever attending such a dispute at Stuart and it seemed as though about all O’Neill was there. Ed Al len did the serving for O’Neill and Miller for Stuart. Allen didn’t get to going good until after the second inning and it was in these that Stu art secured its damaging lead. Mil ler’s pitching was a considerable im provement over last Thursday, per haps because he had just become a benedict, and it may be that the O’Neill sluggers refrained from pounding him rather than to cloud the honeymoon. The game after the first two innings was a most exciting one and remarkably free from errors.

FORMER HOLT COUNTY RESIDENT REVIEWS CONDITIONS IN IRELAND A personal letter just received by T. V. Golden from M. J. Garrett, a former resident of Holt county, now visiting in England and Ireland, tells so interestingly of present conditions in Ireland, as Mr. Garrett sees them, that it is herewith reproduced for the perusal of the readers of The Fron tier. Mr. Garrett homesteaded in Iowa township more than thirty years ago and later taught school at various points in the county. He resides in El Paso, Texas, and at present is visiting his son, a Rhodes scholar at Oxford university, England. Mr. Garrett is not an Irishman and so far as Mr. Golden knows is not aware of Mr. Golden’s views on the Irish Free State and the Irish ques tion. He is writing as one friend to another. “Private Hotel, 38 Westland Row, Dublin, July 9, 1925. T. V. Golden, Esq., O’Neill, Nebr. Dear Old Friend: Yesterday in the cemetery of St. Michaus we stood beside the grave of Robert Emmet; and in the vault ljeneath the church we saw the coffins of John and Henry Shears, brothers, executed at the same time, in 1798. “During our five days in Dublin we have visited the Postal Department Building, Phoenix Park, and other scenes of violence and tragedy and monuments to Griffith, Collins, and others, who have paid the full meas ure of devotion and who have not lived to see any of the fruits of their labors. On the other hand we have visited the Supreme court, sitting under au thority of the Free State created by vote of the Irish people and deliberat ing very fairly, it seemed to us, to give justice to an Irish citizen under condemnation to death; we have seen the Dail, elected by votes of Irish citizens, men and women, and of the Seanad, appointed, but seemingly well and satisfactorily chosen, (and soon to be succeeded by senators chosen by popular vote); and we have noted the careful, conscientious and fair de liberations of these two houses, labor ing to build wisely, and to promote the welfare and happiness of the people. It is true there are innumerable rocks and shoals, and that much of “Ain’t Nature Wonderful” f « By “UNCLE PETE,’* O’Neill, Nebraska. (Courtesy St. LouisfvPoat Dispatch.) wmmtmtmfflttaammtmmmffltmtmtmaamrofflmttmtmtmwmmmasgj:.'' - O’Neill, Neb Henry Waterson Tomlinson, leading chicken fancier of Beaver Flats, is minus a flock of fine thoroughbred fowls because he recenly succumbed to the wiles of several city chaps who are summering in the Calamas Val ley and joined the newly organized golf club promoted and instigated by them. Tomlinson’s flock for years have been the talk of the valley and The Flats. Each member has been raised under the personal supervision of the rancher and as a consequence such an affection had sprung up between chickens and owner, until Tomlinson took up golf, that the birds would fly up and perch on his arms and shoulders when he strolled about the place. Early morning when he en tered the pens the flock would flutter about him, cackling and clucking their greetings. The chicken rancher was one of the first to take up golf when the Beaver Flats club w’as organized this spring, but only recently did he con sider himself proficient enough to justify a full set of golfer’s togs. The latter were kept in his locker at the clubhouse until Tuesday of last week, when Tomlinson was deh'gssctaf as one of the team to represent tkt Beaver Plats club at the Calamas Val ley invitation tournament. The rsgfcj before he brought the uniform ftocm and donned it immediately on arena ing Tuesday, as play was to s&nr*. early. The chickens still were in tters* coops ns Tomlinson made his entrwse* into the yard, but promptly rm&mS out at the signal of the clicking »• the gate latch to greet him. The parition of the rancher in cap xadf Scotch plaid stockings proved so rifying to the chickens, however. c<te*T uttering squacks of terror, they fal lowed the cock of the flocks in a miM flight over the fence and into tak brush beyond. Tomlinson, unaw*y# of the real cause of the panic, at tempted to round them up, but mefy added to their fright in his effort* lie finally desisted to avoid being to the tournament. The chickens, still unstrung mxx> nervous, ventured back to the p**»* during hia absence, but again toofc tjs the brush upon his return in tXx evening, and ever since has been m»~ able to locate them. the sen upon which the Free State must sail is yet uncharted. But from Civil War there seems to be by im plication a truce, giving the pilots and crew a little time to work out plans and give them a trial. The horrors of civil war, with its accompaniment of treachery, its di vision of families, parishes, and so cieties, pitting brother against broth er, father against son, Catholic against Catholic, Protestant against Protestant, have brought a reaction, a revulsion of feeling, and a cessation of active opposition to the present authorities. “True forty-eight elected members of the Dail hold aloof and refuse to cooperate with the Free State mem bers in the work of legislation, but it seems to be a policy of watchful waiting and not of resistance or ob struction. “There are, however, so many things to do, so many policies to for mulate, so many problems to solve, so many divergent views, hopes and demands to satisfy that there must be many disappointments, and much opposition aroused by the impossi bility of pleasing all. “The difficulties arise from differ ences in the people,—racial linguistic, religious, financial, occupational, ex periential, and temperamental. “The members of the Oi reachtas seem to be men and women of fair ability and intelligence, patriotic, bjnest, and appvecrative of their re sponsibilities. Put tney are in nearly every case inexperienced in legislation o' in methods of parlimentary pro cedure, and not well informed if re rurd to method? tried and pr ven in other countries. “Everything is to do, and little time to study, deliberate, and qualify them selves for action. “I have no further time at present Perhaps I may write you again. “If you think any thing in this may be of interest to the many peo ple of Irish blood in the vicinity of O’Neill, you are at liberty to publish any part of this you think advisable. Sincerely yours, M. J. GARRETT.” SUPERVISORS’ PROCEEDINGS. O’Neill, Neb., July 14, 1926, 10 a. m. Board met in regular session. All members present. Board called to or der by the chairman.
