John and William Turner and Rus
sell Hervey, all of Brewster in Blaine
county, were assessed more than $700
in fines and damages in county court
at Ainsworth for killing a deer. Each
was fined $100 and costs and Hervey
was charged with $300 damages pay
able to the state for actual destruction
of the deer. The arrests followed in
vestigation of a report of F. A. Bald
win of the state game commission that
someone on the Calamus river in
southern Brown county possessed a
fresh set of five prong antlers. State
Game Warden W. A. Monett looked
into the matter and the arrests fol
lowed.
Banquet With a
Colonial Setting
To the strains of a Colonial March,
sixty juniors and seniors of St. Mary’s
dressed in charming colonial fashion,
marched into the gymnasium, now
transformed into a colonial mansion
and garden. A typical Virginian din
ner was served. The guests of honor
were Rt. Rev. Consignor Cassidy,
Father Leahy and Miss Cullen.
The colonial dining room was dec
orated in the senior class colors,
azure and sand. Huge chandeliers
hung from the ceiling. The tables were
decorated in the colors and with tiny
flags. Quaint candelabra with colored
tapers lighted the tables and the fire
place which was a replica of the one
in Mt. Vernon. To the side of the
fireplace w-as a spinning wheel.
After the dinner, toasts were res
ponded to with Mary Jeanne Ham
mond as toast mistress.
After the toasts the company re
tired to the garden. Here the juniors
presented a one act play, “The Patriot
Girl.” A word must be said about
the garden. Brightly colored holly
hocks clustered on a white picket
fence, a green arch trellis was cov
ered with roses and a blue and white
sky completed the decorations. At
the end of the play, four couples per
formed a minuet that would haved
warmed the heart of Washington had
he been able to see it. This was fol
lowed by the Senior’s minuet.
Then girls in dainty dresses and
boys in colonial attire tripped the
light fantisitc in the garden of Mt.
Vernon. The evening passed all too
quickly and soon it. like all preceding
banquets at St. Mary’s, was but a
glorious memory.
When Profit-Making Profits
Saturday Evening Post: The Amer
ican public is not bargain-mad. It
is the most generous public in the
world, as has been proved time and
again when it has opened its puise
strings to relieve suffering communi
ties. It does not want bargains that
are made possible by unfair pressure
on other people.
During the past December I visited
a city in New England and was piloted
about the business district by the
president of a local bank. Grouped
around the principal public square
were possibly fifty retail stores, and
nearly all displayed the same frenzied
announcements I had seen on Fifth
Avenue the day before. Practically
the only exception was an establish
ment at one corner of the square
where a street leads off to the railway
station. In each of this store’s show
windows was a small framed card
that read:
Let’s be sensible about prices. No
business can continue to exist without
a profit. Nor can it continue to fur
nish the most desirable merchandise
unless it allows its manufacturers to
make a profit. Patrons will find our
prices as low as elsewhere on quality
merchandise.
The banker said, “It is the only
establishment on the Square whose
credit is so good that my bank has
asked if it wouldn’t like to borrow
some money.”

more in any day for the use of his
committer but they had beer, with
out supplies for several days. The
local committee supply applicants on
Tuesday and Saturday but the Red
Cross hr«* not designated any day or
days. It sometimes happens that
people come in from far north on the
Niobrara river and find by the time
they arrive nothing is left. This is
not the fault of the committee here
but rather a lack of enough to go
around..
Some Help Arrived
Page, Feb. 8.—Dear Mr. Editor:
Since I wrote last week we at Page
received a nice big car of feed which :
was thankfully received. And from j
information received it was divided
fairly well. Everybody got some,
but say when it comes to dividing up
fairly there is not much per head. It
takes lots. Several put their name
and ad in the sacks. Hope every
body that did responded. It is nothing
hut right wc should. There is some
thing else on my mind since it is the
usual thing to make donations why
not Holt county come to the front and
donate numbers for the cars. As the
horses are so weak they can’t gcv off
the farm. Some who have small
rucks and trailers help their neigh
bors and naturally when the people
see a large load go, “Well he got
plenty” hut they don’t take into con
sideration that was for three or four
families. Then others who think the
other fellow has lots tell it for sure.
Better go look before you report same.
Seeing is believing, and it will put the
other fellow to lots of trouble. We
are all in the same 1 or.*, why t.d e
revenge at : nch a time. Be kind to
one another as the good book says.
Mrs. Butinskv.
The Frontier learns that (’apt.
Francis Brennan is to become in
structor in the military school at
Washington. He is one of the young
est to attain such distinction. Francis
was the third in succession of three!
O’Neill boys to enter the military j
service by securing the appointment
to West Point. Charley Meals was
the first, followed by Owen Meredith
and he by Francis Brennan. The boys
have made good. Charley is at San
Francisco, Owen at Lexington and
Francis at Washington. Folks here
know them better by their boyhood
names rather than colonels and lieu

AS TO FOOD VALUES
By Miss Perry, School Nurse
Proper food is one of the most im
portant contributors to good health.
Good food habits should begin with the
child, because they determine to a
great extent the physical fitness of
the adult. Habits started early are
usually continued throughout life.
Food is needed by the body for
four reasons: ,
I. To build new tissue and repair |
worn tissue,
2. To regulate body processes.
2. To promote growth and devel
opment.
4. To provide sufficient energy for;
the activities of the body.
Laboratory experiments in the feed
ing of animals show results of good ;
and faulty diets.
The animals most commonly used
are guinea pigs and white rats, be- j
cause their short life time makes it j
possible to study several generations !
over a shorter period of time. It has j
been possible to produce poor teeth |
after a few weeks diet lacking in
vitamins, minerals and other mater- j
ials that build teeth. This shows what |
will occur in the child’s mouth over
a longer period of time.
The foods that biuld and repair
tissue are known as protiens. This
group includes meats, eggs, fish, poul
try, milk, cheese, dried peas and beans,
gelatine, nuts and whole grain cer
eals. Some food from this group
should be eaten every day.
Persons who do hard physical labor
need more fuel foods than others.
Children need them because they are
so active. The need is supplied by the j
starches, (bread, cereal, rice, macar
oni, tapioca, potatoes) the sugars,
(sugar, molasses, honey, dried fruits),
and the fats, (butter, cream, lard,
olive oil. chocolates.)
Food that help to regulate body
processes include those that are bulky
and do not digest completely, such as
whole wheat bread and whole grain
cereals. Vegetables, fruits and water
also help the elimination of body
wastes.
Minerals and vitamins are essential
for growth and development. Food
containing these are leafy vegetables
(greens, spinach, cabbage, let.uce)
tomatoes, fruits, milk, 'egg-., butter,
cream, cheese, cod liver oil, whole
grain cereals, liver, carrots, tnr hr-,
sweet potatoes, onions, beets, iuta
bagos.
Foods from all these group; ■ v>uld
be included in the diet every day . >
adequately supply body needs. T.'ie’.e
should be regularly appointed time
for meals. Piecing between meal
fills the child up so that he won’t cat
at the proper time. Children should
drink at least six glasses of water a
day. Thirst is often mistaken for
hunger and may lead to piecing. Wat
er shouldn’t be used to wash down
food.
Parent should not discuss their food
.and dislikes before children as
it may result in the child’s refusing

MRS, HALLORAN, AN
Early Settler
PASSES AWAY AT INMAN
H-»
Mrs. Olive Ann Halloran died at her
home at Inman yesterday, Feb. 10. at
the age of 85 years. The funeral will
be held at the Methodist church in
Inman at 2 o’clock Friday and inter
ment will be made in the Inman ceme
tery. She was the mother of one
son and four daughters, three of which
survive her. These are Mrs. Mary
Coffin and Mrs. Delia Downey, both
of Burwell, Neb., and Mrs. Lucy Gates
of Peetz, Colo. Some twenty years
ago her husband John Halloran was
laid to rest.
The death of Mrs. llailoran marks
the passing of another pioneer. Much
of her interesting life hud been spent
on the frontier. She was born in
Indiana in 1847, the daughter of Rev.
and Mrs. Dwight Sheldon. At an
early date the family migrated to
south central Wisconsin. Chicago
was then n struggling village and no
railrond penetrated to the great wild
erness north and west where as a
girl she early became enured to the
experiences of the pioneer. In 1865
she was married to John llailoran at
Leed Center, Wis., Mr. Hallaren just
being home from contributing his
share as a soldier to the preservation
of the union. Soon after their mar
riage they started west in a covered
wagon, crossed the Mississippi and on
to central Iowa, then unsettled with
no railroads. She and her husband
were baptised in Sheel Rock river near
Marble Rock, Iowa, and became mem
bers of the Christian church. Four
children were born to them in their
Iowa home.
In 1880 she with the family made
the third and last move to still an
other frontier territory—Holt County
—thus pioneering in three states.
They were among the early Elkhorn
valley settlers in the Inman neigh
borhood where after many hardships
as well as many happy occasions they
developed a splendid farm home A
mile west of the town of Inman. Here
her heart interests and sacred mem
ories clung to the last]
Her husband had much to do with
the early development of O’Neill, he
being an expert painter and some of
his work can still be seen here.
Mrs. Halloran had been a member
of the Rebckah lodge for over fifty
years.
Former W’Neill Couple Wed 50 Years
The Portland, Ore., News of Feb. 1
and Oregonian of Jan. 31 tell of the

home of Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Handlan
448 E. 14th St. N. The affair was held
to celebrate their golden wedding an
niversary and a large number of
friends and relatives called during the
day. Mr. and Mrs. Handlan, who were
married at Plainview, Neb., in 1882,
came to Portland in 1893. They are
the parents of F. J. and Joseph Hand
lan, Mrs. Mary A. Plank and Mrs. R.
H. Henderson. Also assisting at the
reception Sunday were two grand
children, Charlottte Plank and Rob
ert H. Henderson, Jr.”
