There is intimacy in telephone conver

surprisingly low.

friendships alive by telephone.
Remember that extension telephones
throughout your house are a great con
venience, and they mean a world of com
fort at very little cost.

ORVILLE THORSON WINS
THE HOLT COUNTY
CORN HUSKING CONTEST
The first husking contest that has
been held in Holt county was held at j
the Parker farm occupied by John
Booth, just east of O’Neill last Wed
nesday afternoon.
Seven contestants entered the race
jto determine who could husk the
most corn in one hour and twenty i
minutes according to the rules of the J
state contest conducted by the Nebr- |
aska Farmer at Lincoln; the winner
of this contest, Orville Thorson, re
siding north of O’Neill, will enter
the state contest to be held Tuesday,
November 12th, at the Ben Stalp
farm, seven miles north of West!
Point, Nebraska.
The event is expected to be one of
the largst of its kind to be held in
the United States this year, both j
from the standpoint of entries and
number of spectators. It is hoped,
too, that the speed of husking at the
Nebraska contest will be just a little
faster than at any of the other seven
state contests. The contest will begin \
promptly at 10 o’clock in the morn- j
ing.
Cash prizes of $200 will be paid by '
The Nebraska Farmer to the five
fastest huskers in the following or
der First, $100; second, $50; third,
$25; fourth, $15; and fifth, $10. In
addition to the cash prize, the win
ner will be awarded a free trip to the
national contest, to be held near
Platte City, Missouri, November 15.
The second place winner, or runner
up, also will be permitted to enter
the national contest.
The corn was weighed at the farm
of Col. James Moore, a short dis
tance from the field where the con
test was held. James Timlin was the
official weigher; W. C. Templeton,
(1. E. Miles and Floyd Pilger were
the judges. Col. Moore was in charge,
of the contest and looked after the
details and prior arrangements. Mr.
Moore has asked The Frontier to ex
press his thanks and appreciation to
all those who contributed in any way
toward the contest—especially those
who furnished teams and wagons,
acted as gleaners, and those who as
sisted in the judging and carrying
out the wishes of the sponsors of the
contest.
i ne crowd who watched the con
test from a distance were very or
derly and considerate and remained
a considerable distance from the
huskers. The interest was keen as
the time approached for the pistol
shot that was to announce the clos
ing of the event.
