whether at the bar or in assemby, on

CLARA DOWLING VEACH
San Jose, Calif.
Editor Frontier:
On Sunday, February 5, 1933, Mrs.
Clara Dowling Veach passed away at
the home of her daughter, Doris, in
San Francisco, and was buried in one
of the beautiful cemetaries of that
city on February 8, surrounded by a
host of friends from many cities in
central California. A large delega
tion of the Daughters of Veterans of
the Civil War escorted the body to
its last resting place.
Mrs. Veach was well known in
Atkinson and O’Neill and through
Holt county, as Clara Dowling, she
having moved to Atkinson with her
father and mother, the late Thomas
Dowling, having arrived there in the
80’s from Hamilton, Illinois, where she
was born March 10, 1869.
Mrs. Veach taught school in various
parts of Holt county and other sec
tions of the state for a number of
years where her genial disposition and
her great ability to teach made her one
of the most popular educators in the
state. Many pupils she taught are
now filling high positions throughout
the United States.
It was while teaching at Rushville,
Nebr., that she met and married Will
Veach in 1899, and later moved to
Sheridan, Wyo., where Mr. Veach was
elected sheriff and later passed away
in the discharge of his official duties.
Two daughters were born to them,
Mabel, now Mrs. James Graham, of
Oakland, Calif., and Doris Edgerton,
of San Francisco, both daughters now
having daughters of their own.
Mrs. Clara Dowling Veach moved to
California in 1921 and there renewed
acquaintenances with several of her
former Nebraska friends and pupils.
There were several Nebraskans pres
ent at the funeral services.
In addition to her two daughters,
she leaves to mourn her passing, a
brother, Ed. Dowling of Lincoln, Ne
braska, and Frank Dowling, of Oregon
City, Oregon.
There are many in Atkinson and
O’Neill who will remember Clara
Dowling and her sister Anna, who
passed away a few years ago in Port
land, Oregon, and will recall the pleas
ant parties had at the Dowling resid
ence. Jack Graham.
FIRE AT PAGE
Page Reporter. Fire Monday morn
ing burned to the ground the car
penter shop belonging to Floyd Weidz.
The fire was discovered about one
o’clock. The loss was estimated by
Mr. Wetrz to be around $1,000.00 He
: said he had some insurance but did
not know how much as the policy
- burned in the fire,
i The blaze was discovered first by
i Eddie Rakow, who was unable to sound
: the alarm, due to the fact that the rope
: to the little bell had worked loose and
i had blown to the top of the roof of
■ the Smith Hardware store, where the
bell is mounted.
Mrs. Wertz was the next to discover
the fire and notified central, who pro
ceeded to give the alarm by phone.
This caused considerable delay between
the time the fire was discovered and
the time firemen arrived on the scene.
At that time in the morning there
was hardly any wind and none of the
nearby buildings caught fire with the
exception of Mr. Wertz’s house, which
caught on the roof, but was immedi
ately extinguished.
CHURCH NOTES

C. Robertson, superintendent.
Morning Worship 11:00—“Fulfilling
Not Destroying.”
Young People’s C. E. Meeting 6:45.
Evening Service 7:30. This will be

M. E. CHURCH NOTES
Services next Sunday as follows:
Sunday School at 10:00 A. M.
Morning Worship at 11:00 A. M.
Epworth League at 6:30 P. M.
Evening Worship at 7:30 P. M.
A very cordial invitation is extended
to any who have no church home.
We cannot stress too much the im
portance of regularity in our Sunday
school and church attendance. We
especially covet the regular attendance
of the children. At the best the small
amount of time allowed for Bible study
is insufficient. To miss these very
brief periods discounts much of the
good done. There is one way to in
sure the presence of your children
every week, that is, make a habit of
attendance yourself. We have classes
for adults and will make any provision
necessary to meet the demand if other
classes are needed. May we look for
you next Sunday?
F. J. Aucock, Pastor.
NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING
INCREASED SALES 35 PCT.
The Paris Medicine Co. of St. Louis,
manufacturer of drug specialties, in
creased sales 35 per cent during the
last six months of 1932 by using a
larger amount of newspaper advertis
ing, Harry B. Goldsmith, vice presi
dent, announced Monday. Sales for
the first 22 days of January were 107
per cent ahead of the same period a
year ago.
Instead of marking time until con
ditions improved, the company decided
upon a course of vigirous advertising,
Mr. Goldsmith said, with the result
that sales mounted steadily, while
many other companies were complain
ing of small volume.
HOUSE ON CODAY FARM
NEAR EMMET BURNS
James Coday was down from Emmet
last Tuesday and informed us that his
home south of Emmet burned to the
ground last Monday morning, about
1, a. m. Mr. Coday said that the
family was awakened by the smell of
smoke and they got the children out
of bed and downstairs, dressed and
then over to his neighbors, Joe Craw
ford. He said that Mr. Crawford and
his two sons came over and they helped
them get some of the furniture out of
the living room, but that practically
all the funiture in the kitchen, and
dining room, as well as the bed cloth
ing and nearly all their personal ef
fects were destroyed as the fire had
gained such headway that there was
no time to get the furniture or cloth
ing out of the house. Mr. Coday says
that his loss was only partially cov
ered by insurance. This is a severe
loss to Mr. Coday, especially in these
kind of times, and his many friends
sympathize with him and his family
in their misfortune.
HOLT COUNTY RECEIVES LARGE
AMOUNT IN FEDERAL LOANS
An examination of the records of the
county clerk of this county discloses
the fact that the Regional Credit Cor
oration have made 139 chattel loans in
Holt county, aggregating $237,782.91
since it started functioning in this
county on October 21, 1932. The larg
est loan being $29,000.00 and the
smallest $200.
A number of applicants have been
advanced money to purchase additional
cattle, where there security was ample
and as a result of this, it is stated
by those in a position to know, that
there has been a marked increase in
the price of stock cattle, particularly
cows, which have advanced from $10
to $15 per head since last fall.
ECONOMIC HIGHLIGHTS
Under present business conditions,
no news is apt to be good news. While
business is showing no particular im
provement, the decline has apparently
been interrupted and a measure of
stability reached. It is hoped that
political moves during the next few
months will have a helpful effect on
business in the future.
Last summer the country underwent
a time of financial liquidation with
strengthening of our financial struc
ture. This was followed by a similar
period of commodity liquidation, which
seems now coming to an end. The
next step will doubtless be further
commerical liquidation and readjust
ment to put many of our industries on
a basis to show earnings in normal
times.
Since 1929 there has been a decline
in foreign markets for American Agri
cultural products but last year the de
cline showed a tendency to slacken.
It is believed that once the problems
of disturbed monetary systems and
trade barriers are partially settled, the
trend will be reversed and larger
quantities of our farm products will
reach foreign lands.
Domestic demand for products is
naturally awaiting industrial recovery.
Even a slight change for the better in
business generally, should cause mark
ed improvement in farm markets.
ECONOMY LEAGUE MEETING
The Holt county Economy League
will meet at O’Neill on Saturday, Feb
ruary 25th at 2 o’clock, p. m. Tax
payers, this is your meeting.
Martin Conway, Secretary.
Why Use A Bladder Physic?
To drive out impurities and excess
acids that cause irritation which re
sults in getting up nights, frequent de
sire, burning, leg pains or backache.
BU-KETS, the bladder physic works
pleasantly on the bladder as castor oil
on the bowels. Get a 25c test box
from your druggist. After four days
if not relieved go back and get your
money. You will feel better after this
cleansing and you get your regular
sleep. Reardon Bros. B-45
