A BRIEF HISTORY OF A
GREAT ACHIEVEMENT
TWO years ago Dodge Brothers embarked upon a pro
gram designed to place it and its Dealer Organization
in a position on January 1, 1928, second to none in the
industry.
The astonishing results of this great achievement are now
known to the world.
It is doubtful if industrial annals c*p cite, over a similar
period, an achievement so outstanding.
A smart, swift, low-priced and immensely popular qual
ity Four has replaced its famous predecessor.
The Senior Six, outstanding in performance, quality and
luxurious appointment, has been created.
Graham Brothers Trucks and Motor Coaches (formerly
exclusively Fours) have been supplemented by sixes. Fifty
new types have been added. The capacities arc broadened
to range from one-half ton to two-tifh, all resulting in
the most complete and capable line of work cars known,
and with prices ranging from $670 to $4290.
Then Thursday came The Victory—a Six for $1049 and
up—th* most spectacular engineering achievement of the
decade.
These accomplishments, one following the other in steady
progression, nave now provided Dodge Brothers Dealers
throughout the world with the most diversified and com*
prehensive line of passenger and commercial vehicles
ever manufactured and soliT by a single organization.
For every need and purse there is now a Dodge Brothers
vehicle built dependably •"** in full recognition of the
, progressive ideals of today and tomorrow.

DO SAMARITAN ACT
Twenty-nine of the members of the
Independent Order of Odd Fellows of
this city and neighbors of Mrs. Hazel
Wolf, met at her home three miles
east of 0”Neill last Monday morning,
and husked about sixty-five acres of
corn for her. A number of ladies
from O’Neill and a number of neigh
bor ladies assisted with the dinner.
Her husband, Harley Wolf, passed
away last November, following a
short illness, leaving his wife and
three children.
In order that Mrs. Wolf could be
in a position to continue that opera
tion of the farm, the residence
tion of the farm, the residence was
some distance south and are now ad
joining the building of her parents,
Mr. und Mrs. W'm. Mathers. This
extra work made it impossible for
Mrs. Wolf to get the corn out.
The effort of the neighbors and Odd
Fellows were greatly appreciated by
Mrs. Wolf and she has asked The
Frontier to express her appreciation
through its columns. She says that
she does not know and does not find
words strong enough to express her
feelings at this time.
TOM SULLIVAN WRECKED
LAST FRIDAY EVENING
Tom Sullivan received a bjroken
nose and a number of severe bruises
when his car went to the ditch with
him a short distance south of the
corner one and one-half miles east of
O’Neill.
Tom started for the gravel camp
about eleven o’clock Friday night;
shortly after he started the tire on
the left front wheel went down and
was removed from the wheel; in order
to protect the rim Tom says that he
drove on the left ridge of the grade
in making the turn and had gone but
a short distance when the rim caught
in the lose gravel and strated to pull
his car from the road; he says that
he remembers trying to turn the car
back into the road; the car rolled
over, mashing the top down into the
seat.
Tom was unconscious for a time,
later he was able to crawl out of the
wreckage; he walked to the Shaugh
nesy home and was later brought to
the office of Dr. J. P. Gilligan where
his injuries were cared for.
J Tom went to Omuha the first of
the week where he entered a hospital
for the purpose of having his nose
cared for.
BRICK BATS.
We used to read the Daily Blast,
just for the news it had; the policies
it held too fast, the deeds of people
bad. We read the articles, red hot,
tho editor would spout, who scored
some politicians’ plot to set the world
to route. The education thus receiv
ed was all the paper had; the thoughts
the editor conceived were taken, good
or bad. The only ads we ever saw
claimed patent medicine was good for
colds or thorax ray and dryness of
the skin. But take our Daily Blast
today and scan its every page; it has
improved in every way in this our
present age. Ye editor will now ad
mit his foes are decent guys; while
advertisers make a hit by putting peo
ple wise about the things they have
to sell, that makes our lives worth
while. They educate their readers
well, they keep the world in style.
The fiery speech and patent dope are
of a bygone age; today the Blast
breathes cheer and hope, with knowl
edge us a gauge.—Brick Smith.
CRITICISM.
It's easy enough to pick out flaws
In the worth that others have done.
To point out errors that others have
mude.
When your own task you haven’t
begun;
It’s easy enough to fuss and find fault
When others are doing their best,
To sner at the little they have
achieved,
When you have done nothing but
rest.
It's easy enough to cavil and carp,
To criticize, scoff and deride,
For few of us ever have done perfect
work.
No matter how hard we have tried;
It is easy enough not to speak of the
best,
And to dwell all the time on the
worst.
And perhups it is proper sometimes
to find fault,
But be sure that you’ve done some
thing first.
—Lookout.

FORTIETH ANNIVERSARY k
OF THE BLIZZARD OF* 1888
Today, January 12th, is the fortieth
anniversary of the big blizzard of
1888. There are a great many people
living in Holt county who were here
during that terrible storm who can j
paint a vivid picture of the suffering
that was crowded -into those few
hours that the blizzard raged over the !
vast open country. There were but
few fences that would serve to guide ■
wayfarers to safety.
Old timers tell us that about thirty
five people and 10,000 cattle perished
in that blizzard.
The files of The Frontier, recount
ing the story of the storm have been
published at various times during the j
past forty years and will again be!
