Miss Agnes Peter was in O’Neill, Monday with her father, Jim Peter, Miss Pearl Steskal was over to her sister’s, Mrs. Alwin Walnoffer, last week. Rudolph Brachman has his small grain in; it’s so much quicker since he has a tractor. Mi-s. Chet McClenahan, of Cham bers, called on Miss Agnes Peter, Tuesday afternoon. Some of the farmers in this vicin ity didn’t wait for Good Friday to plant their potatoes. We understand that John Shoe maker’s sister, who resides at Ban croft, is seriously ill. Mr. and Mrs. Warren Gribble and baby girl were over to Grover Shaw’s Saturday evening, visiting. B. B. Bay, Frank and Milford Hall went to O’Neill, Sunday morning; they returned the same day. Raymond Pribil was over to Jim Peter’s, Monday to have some re pairs made for his plow, etc. John and Harry Peter drove a well for Clarence Shaw, Tuesday. Ru dolph Brockman helped them. Frank Peter, living south of town, is plowing a ditch through his field and expects to start his farming this week. Joseph Serch and his uncle called on John and Harry Peter, Sunday. Joseph is feeling fine after being sick for some time. John Peter, Jr., was over to Cyril Peter’s, Saturday after some mach inery, as he expects to start to put in his small grain. Most of us are hoping for a little rain to settle the dust, which would make us all feel better, especially the ladies who have started house-clean ing. H. W.

Miss Loretta Shaw spent the week end with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Grover Shaw; she returned Sunday afternoon to South Dakota where she is teaching school The roads are almost impassable in places between O’Neill and Cham bers as they are so sandy and the winds we’re having blow the tracks full, which makes it pretty hard for the trucks, to say nothing about the other fellow. Chet McClenahan is out with his maintainer and is going over the road south and on east of the John Shoemaker place this week; now if it would rain a little, the road would be in good condition, as it‘s too dry at present in most places. It looked rather bad for prairie fires the last few days on account of those awful winds; some of the folks were rather alarmed for fear a bad fire might get a start; it would be hard to tell how much damage it would cause before it could be stop ped.

WHO IS THE MOST ATTRACT IVE CHILD IN AMERICA? Who is the most attractive child n America? The answer to that question is to )e given as a result of a contest be ng conducted throughout the United States and Canada by the Photo grapher’s Association o f America, with 222 prizes, aggregating $10,000 in cash, at stake. At the same time, another contest to determine the most lovely mother in America is being conducted, with a duplicate of the prize list offered in the first named contest. Both are part of the Golden Jubilee celebra tion of the Association. “This contest is particularly inter esting to me,” S. Downey, of the O’Neill Photo Co., local member of the association, said toduy, “because there is probably no division of por trait work where so much progress has been made in recent years as in the field of children's photographs. “I think we can all remember the see the birdie* days. Then, it was the task of hours to get a child photographed. And the photograph, when it was produced, was frequent ly a ghastly travesty on a portrait of the child. Equipment was much less perfect, and the technique of the art of photography fell far short of its present state. “Today, the advances which have been made in the profession itself, the training in artistic composition, which is a part of the essential per sonal skill of today’s photographer, plus the great strides made in the production of mechanical equipment, have favorably affected the whole field. But this is particularly true in the case of children, to whom long waiting or posing is such an arduous proceeding.” Entry blanks, rules and regula tions and information in general on the contest may be obtained at his studio, Mr. Downey said. The con test will continue until May 10, at which time all entries must be in the mails addressed to the Association headquarters, at Cleveland, Ohio. CHARLOTTE GREENWOOD CLEVER SONGSTER It has always been a question whether Charlotte Greenwood, who plays a title role in “So Long Letty,” Warner Bros, and Vitaphone produc tion which is coming to the Royal Theatre, Sunday, Monday and Tues day, is a better singer than she is a clown. The long Miss Greenwood has be come world-famous for her clowning, her agility and strength, and her ability to step over chairs and sofas without difficulty. At the same time she is rated as one of the cleverest singers of the musical comedy stage and her radio uppearances have added to her fame. Her rendition of “So Long Letty,” one of the great song hits of the last generation,, still stands untouched, as those who hear the Vitaphone ver sion of this musical comedy farce. Lloyd Bacon directed this new Vitaphone version of the famous stage farce and the fine supporting cast includes Patsy Ruth Miller, Claude Gilingwater, Grant Withers, Bert Roach, Helen Foster, Marion Byron, Hallam Cooley and Harry Gribbon. Robert Lord and Arthur Caesar made the screen adaptation. ANNOUNtEMENT To the people of Holt County and the country surrounding O’Neill in particular: 1 was in Omaha, Nebraska, the last two days of last week, buying equip ment for my new creamery. 1 see by the O’Neill papers that the editors did their best toward giving me a good “send off.” They told you that I would have a first class creamery here in O’Neill for your convenience; now I am going to promise you, through the Holt county papers, that there will not be a better cream ery for its size in the state. The editors, through their papers, asked the people to give me all the co-operation possible. 1 am also go ing to ask the people of the county to lend a helping hand, because if this creamery proves to be a success, to which end I wil do my part, then our county will be a better place in which to live; 1 am at this same time asking the merchants and people of O’Neill for their trade in milk, butter and cream. 1 will continue the milk route so that anyone who is not buy ing their milk, cream and butter from the Sanitary Dairy, may give me their order for regular delivery, to begin the fir t. of May; this will be considers bit encouragement. 1 will guarantee >u satisfaction. I expect to be in remodeling the building about 1 14th, at which time some of the new equipment, will have arrived. Fveryom i invi ed to come and irsT'oci my plant at any time. Thos. J. Brennan.
