ate under the persistent fanning
of June winds.

meetings again. There are no ser
ious problems confronting districts
down here.

the courtesy of Howard Berry those
at the south end of the route got
their mail.
An item herein a week ago men
tioned Sam Elwood, southern Holt
county rancher of the eighties and
nineties. Sam, aboard a splendid
chestnut gelling—boxtoed boots,
white hat and all—could ride with
the best of them—aqd there was
some horsemanship those days.
Unlike the late Jim Dalman, who
comes from the northwest Nebras
ka ranges and was many times
mayor of Omaha, Sam did not suc
seed in politics. Hey was a can
didate at one time for county treas
urer but was defeated by Barrett
Scott, whose tragic end wrote a
disgraceful chapter in the history
of Holt county.
John Bower moved a herd of
cows and calves on Monday to his
pasture east of Swan lake. Some
cowboys of the ranch being other
wise employed, Miss Hall came to
the rescue. Mounted on her hand
some brown pony she was an ef
ficient helper, besides being a
charming figure riding about
among the bellowing and slow
moving cattle urging them on.
Girls can do things yet, notwith
standing the assumption of the
cynic that the present generation
of youth are about worthless. The
late Neil Brennan of O’Neill, used
to be a consistent and perpetual
booster for Young America. Let

An Invitation To
The Coroner
Your chances of being involved
in a fatal automobile accident are
much greater on highways than
anywhere else. Bad as the urban
accident rate is, the death toll is
mounting fastest in rural territor
ies, even though traffic is less dense.
Last year 167,000 accidents oc
curred on highways. The result
was 160,000 injuries—and 13,000
deaths. In 1934, the rate of death
per accident on highways was more
than 100 per cent greater than the
average for all accidents combined.
The reason isn’t hard to find.
The modern highway is wide and
smooth, rarely congested. It looks
as safe as your own back yard.
And, as a consequence, thousands
of drivers relax behind the wheel,
and step hard on the accelerator.
When a crisis arrives, they react
too slowly, or are going too fast to
avoid a smash—and death follows.
That is especially worth rememb
ering now, with the appearance of
summer. Most motorists will be
making trips, into the country—
and they should keep in mind the
unhappy fact that somnolence on
the highway is an invitation to
the coroner.
