RAILROADS AND
GENERAL PROSPERITY
In the eight years that have elapsed
since the Federal Government return
ed control of the railroads to private
hands, the principal lines have spent
record sum of over six billion dollars
in providing improvements.
The result has been seen directly in
better, faster, more efficient and more
comfortable freight and passenger
transportation. The railroads have
steadily improved their service, until
at the present time we have the finest
railroad facilities in the world.
The indirect result of this vast ex
penditure is not so easily perceived,
but it is of equal, if not greater mag
nitude. It is the significant contribu
tion of our railroads to our general
prosperity.
For shops, houses, machinery, tools,
steel and copper, and other supplies,
the lines have spent a tremendous
sum that has been reflected by better
conditions in our entire industrial life.
If our railroads prosper and pro
gress there will be general prosperity i
«nd progress. If they languish and1
retrench, a blow is struck at employ-1
ment and progress. For purely selfish
reasons, it is to the advantage of every
citizen that in the future the railroads
go steadily ahead as they have in the
past.

MAYTAG SPONSERS NEW
TYPE RADIO PROGRAM
Unique Method of Nation-Wide Broad
casting Approved by Federal Radio
Commission.
Radio audiences in all sections of
the country are getting new thrills of
delight due to the introduction of an
entirely new type of radio broadcast
ing by The Maytag Company, washer
manufacturers of Newton, Iowa. The
introductory programs broadcast re
cently from KDKA, Pittsburgh, and
KYWr, Chicago, were so successfully
presented and so enthusiastically re
ceived that the new system bids fair to
revolutionize present broadcast meth
ods.
The new type of radio broadcasting,
perfected after two years of study and
experimentation, is known as the So
! A-Tone process, and is exclusively con.
' t rolled by National Radio Advertising,
' Inc., of Chicago. The new process per
mits the assembling of talent in the
| lurgest cities, where a transcription is
made by electrical reproduction and
transported to the various stations
elected to broadcast the Maytag pro
grams. Some idea of the importance
of the new process is indicated by the
fuct that certain rulings by the Fed
eral Radio Commission were necessary
before it could be used.
The 1929 radio program for the
Maytag Company calls for broadcast
ing under the So-A-Tone process from
over 50 of the principal stations
throughout the United States and in
Canadu. This constitutes the largest
independent radio schedule in the
world. The appointment of stations
and hours of broadcasting will be an
nounced in newspapers from time to
time. Watch the radio announcements
and be ready to listen in when your
favorite station begins to broadcast
the Maytag program.

Mr, and Mrs. N. F. Loy
Married 60 Years
Mr. and Mrs. N. F. Loy, of O’Neill, Celebrate
Their Sixtieth Wedding Anniversary
On January 1st.
Mr. and Mrs. Nelson F. Loy of this
city celebrated their sixtieth wedding
anniversary last Tuesday, January 1st.
A number of their friends called
throughout the day. Three sons, Fos
ter, of Ft. Scott, Kansas; Edward, of
Bridgeport, Nebraska, and D. N. and
family of this city enjoyed a big din
ner served at the home of their parents
in honor of the occasion.
Sixty years of married life is a
privilege enjoyed by but few people.
The number who attain sixty years of
age is few enough, and to have been
married that long is indeed a privi- j
lege.
Three score years ago the twenty
one year old groom was united with
the blushing nineteen year old bride,'
who, before her marriage was Miss
Catherine Ginther. The young people
were married at the home of the
bride’s parents near Adel, Iowa, in
Dallas county, by the justice of the
peace, Mr. McLemons, at exactly
eleven o’clock in the forenoon in the
presence of a few relatives and friends
on January 1, 1869.
Mr. and Mrs. Loy had been play-,
mates and had grew up together; at
the time of the marriage he was work
ing for her father and continued to do
so for about a year after the ceremony
office in Dixon County, Nebraska,
They emigrated to Spring Branch post
which is now known as Allen, in the
fall of 1873; they later resided in
Oklahoma, Missouri and at Bridge
port, Nebraska, where they were en
gaged in farming.
Mr. and Mrs. Loy came to O’Neill
in 1919 and purchased a home on east
Everett street where they still reside.
Mr. Loy was born September 15,
1848, in Morrow County, Ohio, near
the city of Mt. Gilliard; Mrs. Loy was
born April 15, 1850, in' Buchanan
County, Iowa, near the city of Inde
pendence. They are the parents of
eight children; those living are: Mrs.
Bethany Mumford, Loretta, Nebraska;
Mary Ellen Lamb, Norfolk, Nebraska;
Edwin P. Loy, Bridgeport, Nebraska;
George S. Loy, Gordon, Nebraska; D.
N. Loy, O’Neill, Nebraska; Harvey H.
Loy, Ft. Scott, Kansas; Foster Loy,
Ft. Scott, Kansas; one daughter,
Rosanna C. Loy died in infancy. They
have thirty-eight grand children and
thirty-seven great grand children liv
ing.
During the years that have past and
when he was considerably younger,
Mr. Loy traveled considerably; he has
looked the country over from Texas
to Canada and from Central Ohio to
Denver.
Mr. and Mrs. Loy have enjoyed
fairly good health until the past year.
Both have been quite ill during the
past year, but are enjoyiqg their usual
health at this time.
Mr. and Mrs. Loy derive a great
deal of pleasure and satisfaction in
remininscing and reflecting on the
things that have made their long mar
ried life a happiness incomparable.
It is indeed a rare privilige for
O’Neill people, and this paper, to con
gratulate Mr. and Mrs. Loy upon thier
sixtieth wedding anniversary at this.
| the happiest season of the whole year.
WHEN you put oil in your crankcase . . .
remember, from there it goes to your cyliiu
ders , o, to that space between the piston and the
cylinder wall. There is where oil does its biggest
jobi It must fit that space and seal the piston on
every compression and power stroke.
Naturally this space changes with wear—and
wear comes through mileage! If your car is new
and the space is small—a heavy bodied oil doesn’t
get in the space—and if you have driven it until
the space has worn large, a light bodied oil lets
your power blow by!
That is why the Authorized Opaline Dealer
Figure indicating ap
proximate space
worn by piston
after iOOO to
2000 miles.
asks “What’s your mileage?” Your mileage indi
cates how much space there is between the piston
and the cylinder wall.
This space must be sealed—if you want full power,
if you want more mileage from your gasoline, if
you want less dilution and sludge, less carbon
trouble, less wear and lower repair bills. Seal the
piston—and you have greater security and econ
omy of operation, increased pleasure and satis
faction in driving!
Sinclair Opaline Motor Oil is made and
sold in different grades to seal the power
in your engine as the space between the
cylinder wall and the piston changes.
Tell the Authorized Opaline Dealer the
mileage reading on your speedometer—
he will give you not only an oil of the
finest quality but correct lubrication.
