The members of the Holt County
Board of Supervisors, while in Lin
coln last week in consultation with
Roy Cochran of the Department of
Works, in regard to work on High
way No. 13 the O’Neill-Bartlett road.
Mr. Cochran informed the Board that
a four mile additional contract, be
ginning at the South Fork and ex
tending to the intersection straight
east from Chambers, would be let in
February and the work begun as
soon as the weather will permit in
the spring. The oiling of the nine

weather warms up in the spring.
The new contract will consist of
grading and maintenance. From the j
south end of the new contract the j
road will he graded and put in a
good condition but will not be let
under contract; we understand that
Wheeler county will grade and nfain
tain the road from the county line to
Bartlett; this will give us a road

Spirit of Christmas
Abide in Your Heart
and Mine
In other words, may the spirit
of UNSELFISH SERVICE be prev
alent everywhere.
We believe our city and commu
nity comes as near showing this spir
it as any on earth.
A city, a firm, or an individual
need have little fear of ultimate suc
cess if the guiding light of either
could be said to be “the spirit of
Christmas.”
MERRY CHRISTMAS

TWO LADIES SURPRISED
ON BIRTHDAY ANNIVERSARY
The following account of an anni
versary party held at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. John L. Quig last Sun
day evening, was contributed by one
of the party.
“Mrs. John L. Quig and Mrs.
James McDermott were given a sur
prise birthday anniversary party
last Sunday evening; ’nuff said, as
neither looked a day older than they
did a year ago at this time, neither
did either of them volunteer to tell
their age. A number of their friends
helped them to remember the day by
bringing in some well filled baskets
containing sandwiches, cake and cof
fee; all report a glorious time argi
wished the ladies many more birth
days.
Following is a list of those who
were there: Mr. and Mrs. P. V. Hick
ey; Mrs. John Hickey; Tom Griffin;
James McDermott and Alice; Mr. and
Mrs. Joe McNichols; Mr. and Mrs. O.
A. Kilpatrick and Nadine; Mr. and
Mrs. Tom Donohoe and sons; Jack
Quig; Mr. and Mrs. George Dubois.
Walt McNichols and John Hickey
—if you knew what a good feed you
missed, you would have come to the
party.”
AN ARCTIC VISITOR
The following article was taken
from a Valentine paper. Dr. Meer,
mentioned in the article, is a brother
to Miss Mayme Meer; he formerly
resided in this city.
“Much interest has been aroused
this week by the appearance in one of
the display windows of the Meer
Drug Co. store of a snowy owl, cap
tured on Dr. Meer’s place northeast
of here by his tenant, Mr. Cherry. He
is a handsome creature, with white
feathers spotted with brown, and
large, round head.
Supt. F. H. Dille of the national
game preserve, the only ornithologist
in this section, states that the snowy
owl comes from the Canadian far
north, and seldom comes this far
south. His arrival here indicates that
the far north is having an unusually
severe winter. He states that this
bird is a young one, and that the
plumage becomes whiter as the bird
becomes older."
WHAT no YOU THINK OF
THIS ANONYMOUS LETTER?
The Frontier received the following
anonymous letter last Saturday and
we are passing it on to you without
comment. Here ’tis:
O’Neill, Nebraska,
Dec. 14, 1929.
Holt County Frontier.
O’Neill, Nebraska
Dear Sir:
Nearly everyone has read „ some
time or other how and why the gov
ernment is preserving the forests by
replacing all the trees that are cut.
Since there are no forests around
O’Neill, reading these articles would
have no effect on the average person
around this locality. I think there are
great possibilities for everyone no
matter where they live to co-operate
with the government in replacing the
trees that are so thoughtlessly cut
down.
Every year after Christmas the
baby pine trees that are used for
Christmas trees are generally thrown
away or burned. Couldn’t these be
jManted? It would only take about
five minutes if this wonderful weath
er continued. If one keeps the pine
trees in moistened sand during the
Christmas season while they are in
the house they will make a desperate
effort to grow when they are planted.
I can’t think of anything that one
could do that would start the New
Year off as right as this.
Sincerely,
A School-girl.
P. S. Won’t you please write some
thing in your paper about this in
stead of wasting space by publishing
those name locals.
Thanks.

I)r. Finley will leave Sunday for
Minnesota to spend Christmas with
his daughters.
The Neligh papers of last week an

Cars driven by George Bay and
Otto Claussen collided on highway
number 8 about nine miles north of
O'Neill last Monday evening. Both
cars were somewhat damaged. The
icy roads were, perhaps, the cause
of the accident. No one was injured.
Mrs. Frank Phalin left for Chicago
Wednesday morning where she will
attend the wedding of her daughter,
Miss Mary T. Phalin to Mr. Otto
Reising, which will be solemnized
Saturday morning at eight o'clock at
Holy Angeles church at Gary, Ind
iana. Miss Phalin has been teaching
in the school at Gary for the part
three years; Mr. Reising is also a
member of the faculty of the same
school. They will continue to reside
in Gary.
Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Harrington en
tertained at their home on Wednesday
evening complimentary to Mr. and
Mrs. Q. K. Denver, of Soa Paula,
Brazil. Bridge was the diversion of
the evening. Following the bridge
game, J. F. O’Donnell assumed chair
manship and put on a very good pro
gram with the guests present. A de
lectable lunch was served by the
hostess. A miniature Christmas tree
I was the centerpiece for the table;
decorated Christmas trees were in
evidence within and without the
house and the Christmas thought
prevailed during the evening. The
guests departed extending the sason’s
greetings.
Mrs. J. J. Thomas has a warm spot
in her heart for at least one member
of the O’Neill Boy Scout troup. A
few days ago Mrs. Thomas lost a
pair of glasses; Dale Sterns, a Boy
Scout, found the glasses and return
ed them to Mrs. Thomas as soon as
he learned to whom they belonged.
Mrs. Thomas tried in several ways to
reward Dale for returning the glass
es but he flatly refused to accept any
remuneration for the services, say
ing that he was a Boy Scout and
could not accept anything for that
kind of service. A boy or group of
boys who will stick that close to an
obligation at this season of the year
when every lad craves money, are to
he commended for their sterling qual
ities and should receive the support
of everyone in the community.
