Over the County
SOUTHWEST BREEZES
Petitions to the federal and state
Agricultural departments started
circulating Tuesday here and
around Atkinson protesting against
the proposed tuberculine tests in
cattle. Notice was received indi
vidually thru the mails last week
that this county was to be invaded
by state authorities to test our
herds. The petitioners believe that
tuberculosis among cattle in Holt
county is negligible and this pro
posed program is putting addition
al expense on the taxpayers. A
meeting is called for Wednesday
night at Amelia to organize the
livestock interests of this section
to deal with the situation.
Mr. and Mrs. Chester Kiser, liv
ing on the Roblyer place the past
year, have moved to Iowa. It is
understood that John Baker will
occupy the place from whence the
Kiser’s have departed.
Tom Baker has recovered from a
sevee sore throat and touch of
fever which confined him in bed a
few days. Mr. and Mrs. Baker
found it necessary to make two
trips to O’Neill in one week recent
ly and Tom had to go to bed after
returning from the last trip.
A daughter was born the 7th to
Mr. and Mrs. Ellioa Carpenter.
Mrs. Sigman, of Amelia, mother
of Mrs. Carpenter, is looking after
things in the home for the present.
The compiler of these- items sus
tained the loss of a heifer in an
unorthodox way last week. During
the night the heife r was tossed by
an obstreperous inmate of the barn
into a manger. It was found in
the morning w'ith hoofs turned up
to the loft and was hauled out and
skinned.
Considerable moisture—rain and
snow—dampened this territory the
first ten days in March. Meadows
with clover and blue grass sprink
led thru the native grass are show
ing some green, which looks good
to the anxious stockmen who are
about out of hay.
A mysterious light in a lonely
hill section north of the James
ranch started general telephone ac
tivity in a wide circle one night
recently. Word that a 300-pound
hog had been stolen and butchered
at Atkinson suggested the possib
ility that a beef from some of the
ranches around was being put to
the slaughter over in the hills.
This supposition has not been veri
fied.
A pile of road surfacing material
on the highway in the vicinity of
Swan lake proved bad medicine for
a lone car out in a recent blizzard.
At a turn in the highway the driv
er did not see the snow-buried
pile, and ran into it. (The car was
somewhat wrecked and one oc
cupant, an elderly man, was in
jured, being taken to Burwell for
medical attention.
John Bower, of Inez, was an
over-night guest at the Riley ranch
one night last week.
Probably the last of baled hay
that will be hauled from this sec
tion to market, was taken out Fri
day from Bly brothers’ Meadows.
After 30 years a i-esident of the
farm two miles west of Amelia,
Charley Green’s place has been
sold to Tom Doolittle. It is under
stood his son Earl and family will
occupy the place.
_
Radio fans hereabouts resent
what some are broadcasting urging
the adoption of the child labor
amendment. A lady speaker with
a burden for the oppressed and nig
ger driven youth of Nebraska has
excited opposition to the cause she
advocates by admiting she knew
little about boys and girls of the
family circle helping on the farm
and in the home because in her
aristocratic parential abode “serv
ants did the work.” Youngsters,
dad and mother alike, out over the
prairies and valleys of Nebraska
who stand on their own, feel they
need no advice on this subject from
those reared in the lap of luxury.
Someone with a talent for statis
tics has nosed into the cigarette
business and plucked from thence
a line of figures w’hich would be the
despair of the Linotype operator
to ask him to repeat them, and
makes the large items of appro
priation at Washington look like
the family budget. By a fair count,
one dozen He Men of this commun
ity are called to mind who had no
part in piling up this long line of
figures. They are free from the
taint of lady nicotine in any form.
[
This is somewhat unusual in a rur
al community, where pleasures are
supposed to be few. The interest
and charm of natural living down
here in southwest Holt are such
that artificial means of consolation
are not so much thought of; the
wide sweep of country and rolling
prairies kissed daily by the breezes;
the pink glow of early dawn, the
full glare of midday and the golden
shafts of “sunset and evening star’’
—even the crash and roar of storms
—provide a varied and ever pres
ent source of interest. R. S.
