Country editors, most of them
reared on the soil, hand no advice
for plowing and planting and til
lage to the farmer. The occupants
of the swivel chairs in the offices
of the big farm papers attend to

interesting for the nudist in the
tall grass country these hot even

Ned Saunders has acquired a

It is said there are 11,000 less
on relief in Nebraska than in mid
winter. Garden products help out
a lot. And then you can’t stay on
rfelief and be caught gambling or
buying booze. Maybe buying cig
arettes ought to be included in the
ban.
Statistics cover just about every
thing. Every 26 minutes, day and
night, there is a suicide in the U.
S. A. Southwest Holt contributes

report. Worries are few down

aging word,” and the breezes keep
up air conditioned each day.
“Crazy with the heat” meant
something more than a fatuous re
mark at the Riley ranch Monday.
A cow in a herd on pasture was so
affected by the intense heat that

fences and staggering as though
having imbibed from recent legal
ized beverages. She was put in a
barn and treated with cold water
applied to her back and head, which
restored sanity.

around O’Neill when Fred Gatz and
Frank Toohill sold for a dime all
the beefsteak one man could eat
and everybody within a radius of
50 miles had a “store account'* at
Mann & Hecker's. None barred,
if you are interested. Ed Her
shiser was sheriff and. spent little
or no time parked in an office—
probably had none. He was in
evidence about town at most all
hours with a weather eye on the
rough necks. The principal sport
was bronco breaking and horse
racing. They didn’t go to Omaha
those days to “see the races.” A
half drunken puncher, Colt’s six
hanging at the hip, was breaking a
bronc one day—a familiar proceed
ure on the streets and open spaces.
The lean little horse had gone the
limit and stood helpless with heav
ing sides and quivering flanks at
what is now called Fourth and
Douglas streets. The liquor-soused
puncher drew his Six with the in
tention of beating the exhausted
pony over the head. The blow was
about to descend when the iron
grip of the sheriff encircled his
wrist and his nibs was relieved of
the gun. Ed was a man of action
rather than words. Pat Gahagan
once paid him the compliment,
right to his face, saying he was
the only man in Holt county who
could go get ’em. In the little
craftsman shop down the street is
a brother of this early day sheriff,
Eli Hershiser, who himself single
handed, in the long ago brought
back to their anxious mothers
three young rascals who were head
ing north for the reservation to
live with the Indians and had got
about as far as the Niobrara, but
that is another story. R. S.
