DAIRY AND POULTRY RALLY
Court House I.awn, O’Neill, Nebraska
July 21, 2:30 P. M.
With the cooperation of the North
western Railway Company, Armour
i Cteameries and the Produce buyers
I of O’Neill, the Chamber of Commerce
! is announcing a Dairy and Poultry
j meeting on the afternoon of July 21.
A section of a letter from R. W.
McGinnis, General agent of the
j Northwestern Railway, follows: “This
is to advise that the arrangements as
I outlined are working nicely and you
! can depend on Mr. Otto Livers repre
senting the dairy and Mr. Frank
Mussehl, head! of poultry husbandry,
, will be with me and you can depend
that they are going to do to your
people and the farmers in general a
lot of good. I am looking for another
man who will represent the boy’s and
girl’s clubs. Please get out the wo
men as well as the men.”
It is hoped we will get a large
crowd out for this very important
meeting. It is also hoped that ar
rangements may be made for a farm
agent. This movement must come
from the farmers because it is for
them he must work. A petition with
sufficient names attached should be
ready on that day. A farm agent is
indispensable at this time. A man
who will arrange for farmer’s meet
ings is the first thing to look for now.

The rivers, lakes and various pleas
ure resorts are attracting large num
bers of our people these hot days.
Almost any evening auto loads of
youngsters, and older ones, may be
seen driving toward the Elkhornj
river in search of water deep enough
to wet their bathing suit. It is al
most unnecessary to warn the child
ren about getting into deep water in
case they cannot swim, although
some say that there are several holes
along the stream that are deep enough
in which to swim. The river is very
low at this time of year and especially
now since we have had no rain for so
long.
Vacation «t.uon has urrived for ull
those who have the desire and can af
ford to go away tor the summer, or
even for a week or two, and during
the next two months millions of peo
ple will lie traveling in nil directions,
to and from widely advertised resorts
and stopping at shady nooks or eopl!
retreat* here and there. Perhaps!
there are few people hut who have the
inclination to take a vacation and
everyone should enjoy a brief period
of time from their daily labor* at
least once a year but there la a migh
ty good and sufficient reason why
more of them cannot take a little rest
and recreation during the hot summer
day*. It is the lack of money with
which to meet expenses and travel, at
most people tike to travel, that keep*
the majority of us at home pegging
away at uur work 3*55 days in the
year.
