Clark Young, one of the pioneers
of Northeastern Holt, was a pleasant
caller at this office last Thursday
afternoon extending his subscription
to this household necessity. Mr. Young
says that cropg are looking finer in
his section of the county than they
have for several years.
Sheriff Peter Duffy and Clinton Gatz
drove to Walthill last Sunday morning
to attend a race meet being held in
that city, in which a couple of runners
formerly owned by Pete were contest
ants. Prairie King, a horse raised by
Pete, easily disposed of his opponents
in his race, a five eighths of a mile
dash. Sidney Peters, a colored jockey
about fifty-two years old, was killed
during the last race. He was riding
Mary Lou, a horse owned by Rosa
Owens, of Memphis, Nebr. The horse
stumbled and fell, throwing Peters
and falling on him and he lived but
a few hours after the accident. Mr. i
Duffy says that the meet was well
patronized and they had a good bunch
of horses there. They drove back j
home Sunday evening.
Lincoln State Journal: Good morn
ing, are your pockets full of pennies
and nickels for the new taxes?
If they aren’t, it won’t matter par
ticularly. Wherever possible the num
erous charges put into effect by the
government Tuesday will be collected
from the manufacturer. Where the
man w'ho makes a thing also retails
it, as in the case of chocolate syrup,
for instance, it is up to him whether
he shall raise the price of cake eater’s
delight a penny or serve smaller por
tions for the same old price.
And if on the way from a soda
fountain you stop to buy a package
of gum, a bottle of hair tonic, a cam
era, an automobile horn, a bottle of
grape juice, an electric gadget carried
by every modern drugstore, you will
find that the manufacturer has al
ready raised the price to the jobber,
who has passed it along to the retail
er, and you will pay it—and like it.
The same is true of all kinds of
jewelry, automobile tires, radio sets,
furs, cartridges and guns, yachts and
boats—the last item one that won’t
bother Nebraskans much. Lubricat
ing oil will coat you 4 cents a gallon
more ana gasoline one cem, wnue
brewer’s wort, liquid malt and grape
concentrates are taxed 15 cents, 3
cents and 20 cents a gallon, respective
ly. Matches will cost a penny a thous
and more, except the paper one you
get when you buy cigarets, which are
taxed half a cent a thousand.
Gasoline, benzoil or any similar
fluid used to drive automobiles, air
planes or motor boats will be taxed
a cent a gallon henceforth. Tires are
to be taxed two and a quarter cents
a piece, inner tubes 4, cents, truck
chassis 2 per cent of^their cost, other
automobile and motorcycle chassis 3
per cent, and all parts and accessories
2 per cent. Your electrical refrigerat
or will cost you five per cent more to
buy, and the same is true if you cook
ice box with coal oil or gas.
Long long distance culls are going
to be discouraged by a tax of 10 cents
on conversations now costing half a
dollar to a dollar, 15 cents on $1 to 12
calls and 20 cents on any call running
over $2. Telegraph messages will be
taxed 5 per cent as will be leased
wire service, while cable and radio
dispatches are charged 10 per cent.
Oil pipe line transmission will pay
a 4 per cent tax.
Milady to whom most of the ad
vertising is addressed will find it a
little more expensive to keep kissable
—but not much—with a 10 per cent
tax on every kind of beautifier known,
except soap, tooth paste and mouth
wash, which the government evidently
wants to encourage, having kept that
tax down to 5 per cent. Furs and
jewelry will cost 10 per cent more,
unless one sticks to jewelry that re
tails at less than $3. Clock and watch
parts worth 9 cents and upward are
taxed 10 per cent.
Recreation must carry its share of
the burden. Hunter, fisher, golfer,
tennis and baseball player—everybody
who u$es any kind of ball or club or
line or racket 6r cartridge—must pay
JO per cent more for it than he has
heretofore. And the movies and other
amusement places must charge an ex
tra penny for every dime above a
regular admission of 41 cents or more.
Passes aren’t exempt, and ticket agen
cies away from the theater will be
taxed on the excess they charge over
box office prices—all of course being
paid by Mr. and Mrs. Ultimate Con
sumer.
Anybody who doesn’t mind lugging
cash around to pay bills can save quite
a little from now on, for every check
will be charged 2 cents at the bank.
If you give your grocer $7 when he
sends you a bill for $7, he will get
all his money but your checking ac
count will be charged $7.02. Your
safety deposit box will cost you 10
per cent more and your electric lights
and irons and vacuum cleaners and
percolators and toasters 3 per cent
more to run. Deeding property will
cost 50 cents per $500 and stock and
bond transfers 4 per cent. With these
exceptions, unless present low prices
are increased, the celebrated low cost
of living should continue unimpaired.

“An air view of an oat field on the
W. Y .Gordell farm near Norfolk
shows the name “Bob” written in
dark green against a light background,
clearly discernable to the onlooker.
| The phenomena is explained however
by Leslie Godell, who stated that after
the field was sowed he went over it
with a drill outlining the letters,
which are 40 feet high. The extra
heavy stand of the grain where the
seed was planted twice makes the
letters appear darker than the sur
rounding field. The name “Bob” was
selected in honor of Robert Benson,
pilot at the Norfolk airport. This item
was taken from the Norfolk News,
and as Robert is a product of the
Meek neighborhood, many will be
pleased to read it.
