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.

Envoy Charles Dykstra, of state

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

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

Christ.

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.
The funeral services were held on
Tuesday afternoon from the Metho
dist church in Protection, in charge
of the local pastor, the Rev. A. L.
Hughes and interment was in the
Protection cemetery.
