CHARITY PARTY IS A
SUCCESS
CLEAR SOME OYER $200
o-o
A large crowd attended the card and
dance program given by the Catholic
Charities at the Knights of Columbus
hall last Friday evening. The entire
second floor was filled with people at
the bridge and whist tables. After
four games of cards, pie and coffee
were served to those at the tables.
After the luncheon the crowd went
down to the first floor to dance.
Mrs. Patrick Ilarty and John Ker
senbrock handled the awarding of the
prizes. Mrs. Harty holding the “shake
box” and Mr. Kersenbrock drawing
the numbers. The winners were: Mrs.
Hugh McKenna, James Brennan, Mi's.
Rose Ryan and Helen Trosinsky, who
were each awarded a half ton of
coal, and Dan Gallagher, Conrad Lohr,
Mrs. Lizzie Colman and Mrs. Frank
Phalen each received $2.50.
After the regular prizes were given
Mr. Kersenbrock announced that he
would give $2.50 to anyone whose
number he would draw. He drew the
number belonging to F. N. Cronin, but
refused to award it on the grounds
that a banker did not need the money.
Another number was drawn and the
two dollars and one-half was given.
He gave two more prizes of one dol
lar each, but had some difficulty in
drawing numbers of those who were
present, but after several trys the
awards were made.

800 Distress Warrants Have
Been Given to the Sheriff
County Treasurer Conklin has turn
ed over to the sheriff some 800 dis
tress warrants for the collection of
delinquent taxes. Sheriff Duffy has
been busy the past month with these
warrants and has collected in that
time about $;’.000. This is thought
to be “not so bad" considering the
general conditions and if that rate of
collection can be kept up the next few
months will see a large reduction in
the delinquqent list.
The county board is trying to he
reasonable and fair with everybody
without neglecting their obligations
as officers of the county. They say
propositions have come before them
to appoint a special tax collector on
a commission basis to go out over the
county in an effort to gather in the
delinquents. They say they have* no
authority in law to inaugerate such
a program.
The board has been in session dur
ing the w*eek on the routine business,
but are taking a vacation today as are
other officers of the county.
Miss Lauicl Hough has disposed of
her beauty parlor in Verdigre, and

fertility problem is the maintenance
of the organic matter. This problem
should be the first consideration of the
land owner who wished to keep his
land in a high state of fertility. Since
nitrogen comes principally from the
organic matter in the soil, a marked
reduction in organic matter results in
reduced crop yields due to a niitrogen
shortage. The authors of the circular
point out cases where crop yields are
only one-fifth to one-fourth as much
as they used to be, due to erosion and
continuous grain farming.
The authors, P. H. Stewart and I>
L. Gross, also discuss in this circular
soil, soil texture, structure, plant food
elements, soil testing, and many other
phases of soil management. They
divided the state into seven general
soil areas on the basis of the origin
of the soil and the topography of the
land. These areas are the drift hills,
the loess hills, loess plains, high
plains, bottom lands and benches, out
wash plains and the sand hills.
Soil moisture, how it is stored and
how best to conserve it are also taken
up in this publication. It also takes
up the special soil problems under ir
rigation, soil erosion, liming, com
mercial fertilizers, and the handling
of alkali and sandy soils. This cir
cular, Extension Circular No. 133, is

Keeping Poultry Houses Dry in
\V inter
Running an ordinary brooder in the
laying houses during the coldest win
ter weather will help keep the houses
dry. The accumulated frost and
dampness is not entirely a matter of
ventilation. It may be made wo re
from overcrowding. At any rate the
moisture holding capacity of warm air
must be greater than that of cold air.
In operating a brooder stove in laying
houses, extra precautions must be
tuken to prevent fire. Place the stove,
in a large shallow box of sand and;
and screen it with hardware cloth.
Cover the top of the guard so that -
hens cannot come in contact with the
stove.
Selection of turkey for Roasting
When roast turkey lacks the juicy |
di lieiousncss we a* sociate with other
ioast fowl, it would be well to look to,
the selection of the turkey a- well a
the roasting of it. Turkeys without
the proper finish and covering of fat,
cook dry und are often tnstele * and!
fibrous. When turkej- are proper!;
finished the fat particles are prc i;t,
throughout the muscle tissue and un- j
der the skin. This fatt;, tissue hold •.
the juices and prevents the bird dry-^
ing out so rapidly. In retaining the
juice the fine flavors are sbo retained.
Only well fattened birds have lha»

Box Cars for Farm Buildings
Randolph Times: The railroads
are doing something to relieve the

box ears of the M. & O.railway and
have moved the cars to their farms,
set them on a foundation and have a

O. W. BAKER WRITES
CASPER WYO., Nov. 23—Dear old
friend Romaine. I suppose you have
forgotten that t ever lived, but 1 did,
and right in good old O’Neill. I started
in there 32 years ago on the 12th of
October in H. M. Bradstreet’s livery
barn. Those were the good old days,
when Boyd county used to freight in
there, and I remember how they used
to unhitch one horse and send a man
in on it to engage the whole ham.
Some times I would have to put three
horses in a stall, and the boys would
worm their coffee in the office and
eat their lunch, and then go to sleep
in the hay loft. Ben Deyarmen was
just across the street and he was
about the same as I was. P. D. Mul
len and Henry Zimmerman would be
crowded too. There was lots of money
in those days but times have changed.
We raised $18,000 to help the poor,
here in Casper. I have been here 6
years now and it is a fine little city
I see Patsy Kelly and Barney Mc
Cafferty often and they always seem
cheery and always have the cash that
is needed. This is the nicest climate
I ever lived in and the people are just
as nice as they were when 1 lived in
Nebraska, in fact Casper is about half
made up of Nebraskans.
It has been a wonderful fall here.
The grass was green yet when we go*
this snow storm, but it is not cold yet.
T am doing alright making a living,
and that is more than some are doing.
I have seen quite a hi* of Wyoming
since I came here nnd it looks good
to me for the future. It has not
started to develop yet but they are
working on several projects now and
doing lots of building. They are
building a federal building here that
would he a credit to a city twice tiv*
size of Casper.
Well now I wish you would publish
some of the old timers names once in
a while, it is just like getting a letter
from home to get the Frontier and
I would like to see some Chambers
and Amelia items in your columns,
and some of the old timers around
O’Neill, such as (’late Me ner, R. N.
Britell, J. B. Mellor, Reka, Arbuthnot,
Densberger, Shows, Art CaperthwnU
and others. 1 guess they are all liv
ing yet Have some of them arrested
or kidnaped so their names will ap
pear in the paper.
Well now you may use this if you
wish. I just thought I would le you
know we are still among the living
and getting fat. My family all live
here and also my two brothers, so we
feel right at home here.
I wish everybody a happy Thank
giving. ’ C. W. BAKER.
O’NEILL-LYNCH LAME
13-13 TIE
RAIN REDUCES CROWD
o-o
On a rain soaked and soggy field,
with u cold strong wind from th«
north, O’Neill and Lynch played to a
13-III tie, last Friday afternoon. The
cold wet weather kept people from the
game and the attendance was small.
A cold wet hall caused much fumbl
ing. and it was on a fumble by Lynch
near their own goal line that gave
O’Neill an opportunity to push over
a touchdown early in the first quarter.
Bud Hunt carried the ball over for
the marker and Medlen added the
extra point with a beautiful kick.
In the second quarter Medlen crossed
Lynch's goal line for another touch
down making the score 13-0. The try
for point failed.
In the second half, Mgraham of
Lynch broke away for a 75 yard run
down the side lines for Lynch’s first
counter. They tried a line plunge for
the extra point hut failed to make it.
In the last quarter Carsen of Lynch
again crossed the goal line and Kal*.
added the point, to make it 13, with a
plunge thru the center of the line.
O’Neill threatened to take a victory
near the end of the game, when they
had the ball on Lynch's five yard line
but a five yard penalty and a fumble
recovered by Lynch cost them their
chance. Lynch drew several penaltys
for being offside.
