THE FRONTIER D. H. CRONIN, Publisher W. C. TEMPLETON, Editor and Business Manager Entered at the Postoffice at O’Neill, Nebraska as Second Class Matter. THOMAS J. BRENNAN WILL START NEW CREAMERY At last O’Neill is to have a first class up-to-the-minute creamery lo cated right here in the heart of O’Neill. This is not to be an outside concern; it will be owned and oper- j ated by Thomas J. Brennan of this | city. Tom has purchased the present : equipment of the Sanitary Dairy which has been owned and operated by Levi Hull for the past, two years. The present equipment will be re arranged so as to handle the milk business more efficiently. Mr. Brennan has Secured the ser vices of Mr. Iddings, a professional dairy expert who has been in the city several days making drawings and plates and arranging for the remod eling of the building to suit the re quirements of the creamery. Mr. Iddings and Mr .Brennan expect to go to Omaha Friday to purchase the proper machinery, which Mr. Brenn an tells us will be of the most mod ern type obtainable, for the opera tion of an up-to-date creamery. Mr. Iddings, who is making the drawings, has had plenty of exper ience in this sort of creamery work; he is a graduate of Purdue College of Agriculture in Indiana; he spent two years in University Extension work in Virginia; the past ten years has been spent in the sort of work that he is doing for Mr. Brennan. Mr. Brennan estimates that the re modeling of the building and the new equipment will represent an invest ment of almost six thousand dollars besides the original cost of the build ing; which is just another evidence that everything is being done to bring this plant right down to date. Tom is not asking for one cent of donation as is usually done in the starting of institutions of this kind; usually a stranger comes along and asks farmers and business men to subscribe for stock or make liberal donations in order that institutions of this kind may be had; the people of O’Neill and vicinity should get squarely behind this venture and ! give Mr. Brennan their hearty sup port which will be necessary to make the business a success; the creamery will make a better market for cream and produce which in turn will bring more people to O’Neill, all of which will add to the advantages of O’Neill as a trading center! Every business that can be brought to O’Neill is an asset to the town. Mr. Brennan invites '• (everyone to come to the creamery as soon as he is able to get it in shape; the remod eling will require two weeks or more; when everything is in readiness, Mr. Brennan is going to have a grand opening and he promises the Frontier that it will be worth coming many miles to see. There will be no hitch in the milk route or the sale of milk at the plant; Mr. Hull will remain in charge for the present until the new equipment is fully installed. Mr. Brennan will handle pasteur ized milk, raw miklmilk, all kinds of cream, butter and selected eggs. The Frontier welcomes the new creamery to O’Neill and we fully be lieve that it will be a wonderful ad vantage to every farmer in this lo cality. FATHER FLANNIGAN BENEFIT (JOES OVER BIG AT ROYAL The benefit picture^ “Glad Rag Doll,” netted the neat sum of $82.20 for the Father Flannigan Boys’ Home when it was shown at the Roy al Theatre last Thursday afternoon. The picture was donated by Warner Brothers, the Royal Theatre manage ment donated the presentation of the picture and the local newspapers | charged nothing for the advertising, j The Father Flannigan Boys’ Home was badly damaged by fire some time ago; the home is maintained entirely by donations and assistance given by liberal citizens throughout the coun try.

Envoy Charles Dykstra, of state headquarters of the Salvation Army, of Omaha, was in town this week laying the plans for the county cam paign. Three men from the American Legion were appointed to put this over, John Lansworth, R. L. Jordan and R. M. Sauers; to not only pro tect the Salvation Army, but also the business men from fake solicitors and impostors. The so called slum army, rescue army, Samaritan army the army of the redeemed and num erous armies, Dykstra said, are solic iting all over the state, asking money for an army which is not connected with this world-wide organization which, on the line of social service, has uncovered a permanent road for reclamation of the world’s cast-off, broken and ship-wrecked humanity. Welfare workers the world over never have spoken apologetically of the armies’ evangelistic and charit able activities; to the desolate hovel of the drunkard; to the sordid dance of vice and crime; to the vile haunts of midnight horror; to the soundless abyss of want and woe and to the dreary cell of the convict. Dear work ers have carried the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

CARD OF THANKS We wish to express our sincere appreciation for the many acts of kindness shown us during the illness and following the death of our dear husband and brother-in-law, Joseph Wise, and for the many floral trib utes. Mrs. Flora G. Wise Mr. and Mrs. C. R. Pettijohn OBITUARY Lois Irene Brentson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Brentson, was born at Opportunity, Holt county, Nebraska, on August 12, 1912. She lived here until six years of age when she came with her parents to York, Nebraska, where she lived until July, 1929, when she came to Protection to live at the home of her uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Creighton. At the opening of the fall term of school, she entered as a Junior, in the Protection High School, and was act ive in the activities of the school at the time of her death. She was among those who attended and took part in the Fine Arts contest held at Greens burg, last Friday, contributing her part toward winning of the second place by Protection. On the way home she was heard to say more than once that she was so glad that she was going to get to go to Wichita, along with the others whose placing at Greensburg had entitled them to go. But such was not to be. A sum mons came which could not be resist ed, and Lois was not, for God had taken her. Being of a jovial and lovable dis position, she endeared herself to all who knew her and will be greatly missed by her friends and classmates in the school and community.. As they have been, so they will through many days to come, find ■ themselves saying to themselves, “Is it really so?” Is Lois really dead? Her death was so sudden, so unexpected, so out' of the ordinary, that it has come to all with more than the usual force and shock. Lois united with the Methodist Church in childhood and at the time of her death was a member in York, Nebraska. Since coming here she has attended church regularly, and was a member of the choir. She leaves to mourn her passing, her parents, two sisters and one brother: Miss Neva Brentson, Oppor tunity, Nebr.; Mrs. Albert Throck morton, Lincoln, Nebraska; William Russell Brentson, Lincoln, Nebraska; her aunt and cousin, Mrs. W. B. Creighton and daughter, Chlorys, and a host of relatives and friends.
