Red Bird Wins Over
Atkinson Saturday

Playing at Atkinson last Satur

fall festival crowd, the Red Bird

out, nine of the Red Birds were
i fanned and 11 of the Atkinsonites.
Errors, Red Bird 2; Atkinson 4.
Red Bird, not satisfiei to take
Atkinson in camp, a strong nine
composed of superb players and
fine fellows generally, entered a
contest Sunday at Lynch wherein
the cream of Holt county baseball
—Red Bird—and the All Stars of
Boyd county mixed on the diamond
r at Lynch and again Red Bird came
out on top with a score of 16 to 10.

There are three things Red. Bird
can do better than any community
in this section. The three are
baseball, baseball, baseball. Next
Sunday Red Bird plays Orchard
out at Midway, and Orchard is in
for a methodical drubbing.
Holt County Corn
Husking Contest
Several inquiries have been re
ceived at the agricultural agent’s
office regarding a corn husking
contest. While the corn prospects
on many farms would not keep
very many huskers busy there are
several places that would qualify
for an event of this kind.
The National Contest will be
held Nov. 8, in Fountain county,
Ind., and the State contest Nov. 4,
the place not having been decided
upon.
This means that a county con
test would have to be held some
time toward the latter part of Oc
tober. If sufficient interest devel
ops and a suitable place can be
located a County Contest will no
doubt be held this year.
Anyone interested in entering or
holding the contest on their farm
should get in touch with Agricul
tural Agent F. M/*. Reece as soon
as possible.
Federal Aid For Court
House Definitely Out
! From the latest reports publish
^ ed in the daily press from Wash
ington, it seems as if Holt county
would not be granted the money
to erect a new court house. The
daily papers again carried a list of
rejected applications and among
them was listed applications for
new court houses for Dawes and
Holt counties. Not only were the
court house buildings turned down
but dozens of applications for sev
eral other projects in the state
were also rejected.
Take Trip Boosting
iO’Neilfs Free Day
Wednesday evening about fiifty
auto loads of O’Neill people, head
ed by the High School band and
Mayor John Kersenbrock, drove to
Stuart to attend the annual fall
festival held in that thriving little
city. The O'Neill band played a
few selections for the Stuart crowd
and with their neat and attractive
appearance and the quality of the
music rendered won the plaudits
of the people assembled at Stuart.
The band and the O’Neill dela
tion were advertising the O’Neill
Free Day.
On their way home they stopped
at Atkinson, where the band also
rendered a few selections and the
people of that city were reminded
of the Free Day celebration to be
held in this city next Wednesday.
Bush Which Produces
Wheat Rust Found In
The Center of Town
About two years ago James W.
Rooney, who then was Holt county
agricultural agent, now secretary
treasurer of the O’Neill Production
association, minutely described
common barberry brush to a news-,
writer who walks much in the
country. For two years this walker j
looked in vain. Last Saturday
while walking to the business sec
tion here, in an alley, he found a
seven-feet-high common barberry
bush with a half dozen trunks and
the elongated red and yellow ber
ries making a pretty sight. This
barberry propagates a parasitic
plant that causes stem rust in
wheat and an intensive campaign
of eradication is under way where
ever wheat is grown. It might be
a good plan to have children, those
from the country especially, view
this bush, in fruit now, before it
is destroyed. F. M. Reece, Holt
county farm agent, has been noti
fied of the find.
Gust Johnson
Gust Johnson was born April 26,
1871, at Randolph, Kansas, and
died August 28, 1935, at Alliance,
Nebraska.
He spent his childhood in Kansas
coming to eastern Nebraska at the
age of 18. He joined, the Lutheran
church during his boyhood. On
April 19, 1898, he was united in
marriage to Miss Laura Carlson,
and to this union there were born
eight children, five sons and three
daughters..
He lived in western Nebraska
until the spring of 1930, when he
moved to O'Neill, where he and his
family lived for five years, engaged
in farming northeast of that city.
He is survived by his wife, who
lives in Alliance, and the following
children: A. F. and Hai'old John
son, of Oakland, Calif.; Oscar John
son, of Hastings; Everett and Ray
mon Johnson, of Alliance; Mrs.
Henry Sandy, of Lakeside, Nebr.;
Hazel Johnson, of Alliance.
Funeral services were held in
Alliance on Sunday, September 1.

SCHOOL NOTES
Holt county schools are observ
ing “National Constitution Week”
this week. A nation wide move is
being made to support the consti
tution.
Nearly all of the Holt county
schools are now in operation, and
we are expecting a very good school
year. Teachers wages for the
most part have shown a slight tend
ency over the county to raise. This
condition is perhaps more true in
the case of town schools than in
regard to rural schools.
We have one new school house
being erected at this time. Dis
trict No. 87, south of Chambers.
This school is a modern tile and
stucco building, which will be able
to qualify as a standard school.
District No. 11, in the Cleveland
neighborhood, is making a number
of improvements on their school
and will likewise become a stand
ardised school.
Teachers Institute will be held
on Friday, October 4. We are
making plans for a good institute,
and city schools will not be com
pelled to attend, since most of
them feel that they are obligated
to attend the district teachers con
vention at Norfolk.
We have completed posting our
j school exhibits and the building
I will be open on Free Day. We
have an unusually fine school ex
hibit this year and it is our hope
that many people will take advant
! age of the opportunity to see our
exhibits.

SIXTEEN PROJECTS

Bo Filed Have Been Awarded
—Work To Start Soon.
Sixteen projects with an estim
ated total cost of $298,871.81 have
been filed with the local emergency
relief office here. The projects are
construction projects, mostly for

sum, $235,896.71 is asked of the
Federal government, to be furn
ished out of WPA funds.
The remaining $02,975.10 is to
be furnished by sponsors of the

Nearly half of the total expend
iture would go in the payment of
wages for labor, and a third would
go to rental of equipment for doing
the work. The remainder would
go to material and other costs.
Projects Number 45-1 and 45-2
have been approved in Washing

kinson, have been selected from
this county to serve on the federal
jury at Norfolk during the next

meet dtfout October 1.
Sometimes a man should think
this note might apply to us here in
Holt county: “My friend, we're
strangers here; is that the moon
or the sun? We have a bet on
this.” The native replies: “I
don’t know; you see, I have been
here myself only 79 years.”
According to the daily press,
Arthur F. Mullen has filed a bill
for $160,000 as attorneys fees for
representing the two big power
projects in southern Nebraska. If

earned by attorneys in the capitol
city no wonder Arthur opened up
an office there.

BIRTHDAY MADE A
DAY FOR GENERAL
PICNIC AND VISIT |
Large Group of Friends Gather
Sunday At William Storts
Home To Celebrate.
—
Last Sunday, Sept. 17, was the
70th birthday anniversary of Wil
liam Storts, Holt county pioneer, \
and friends from all sections gath-,
ered to help him properly celebrate
the event, at his ranch home south
of Emmet.
The day will long be remembered, j
by those who participated in the j
event, as the gathering was one of
the largest ever assembled in that
section of the county, over 100
persons being present. They start
ed coming early in the morning, -
each bringing a lunch basket welli
filled with all the delicacies of the!
season. The forenoon was spent
visiting and at noon they all en
joyed a splendid feast.
Al ter dinner they enjoyed a base
ball gave between- the Whip Poor
Wills and the Never Sweats. The
latter namy was a little out of
order for the team Sunday, as
many of them sweat as they had
never sweat before, but they won
the game with a score of 7 to 0,
so they did not mind a little thing
like that. The teams were com
posed of everyone from 6 to 60
and it is needless to say that they
had a very pleasant game and the
spectators had several good and
hearty laughs.
Henry Benz, better known as
Shorty, was master of ceremonies
and speaker of the day. Shorty
filled the ’position with great cred
it to himself, and during the day
he rendered several very appro

manner that won for him tumul
tous applause.
Mr. Storts has been a resident of
Holt county for about 54 years,
coming here when in his teens and
has seen this county grow from a
prarie wilderness to one of the
brightest spots in this grand old
state.
That he has a host of friends in
the county was evidenced by the
large crowd that gathered Sunday
to celebrate his three score and ten
anniversary, and there would have
been hundreds of others present if
all of Bill’s friends had known of
the event. The following guests
were present:
Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Burge and

O’NEILL FREE DAY
EVENT TO BE HELD
NEXT WEDNESDAY
Merchants of City Have Prepared
Good Program of Sports And
Other Forms of Fun.
Everything is in readiness for
the great O’Neill Free Day, which
is next Wednesday, and if you
want to spend a delightful day and
witness some splendid entertain
ment, do not fail to come here that
day and be the guest of the busi
ness and professional men of
O'Neill.
This is the Third Free Day cele
bration put on by the citizens of
O’Neill and both of the former
were splendid successes from every
point of view and we can assure
you that the committee in charge
this year have tried hard to make
this the best one yet. So do not
fail to be here.
The committee in charge of tha
entertainment is headed by Mayor
John Kersenbrock and he has as
his lieutenants W. H. Harty, Peter
Todsen, Jack Heitman and Charles
E. Stout. This committee has been
assisted by other committees and
in fact about every business man
in the city is working for the suc
cess of the event and trying hard
to make this a bigger day than
either of the preceding ones.
St. Mary s Academy will give its
pupils a holiday on that day as
will the O’Neill Public Schools and
the rural schools of the county, so
there will be a lot of little folks in
town that day and the committee
has provided entertainment for
them. The streets in the center of
the city will be roped off so that
the little tots will not be in danger
of being run over. Free rides will
be provided for the Kiddies, all
day commencing at 10 o’clock in
the morning, so they will be sure
to enjoy themselves, and it is all
Free!
Plenty of music will be provided
I during the day, by four bands.
Heading the list of bands will be
the O’Neill Public School band, the
Osmond band, the Norfolk Drum
corps, which made such a decided
hit here a year ago, and the Ger
man band.
The program will start at 10
o’clock in the morning, with a par
ade of the school children, from the
city and rural schools. This will
open the day’s festivities and these
will be followed by foot and bicycle
races for both fats and leans; a
grease pole climb, and a baseball
game between Atkinson and O’Neill
at 1 o’clock, p. m.
This will be followed by a foot
ball game between the O’Neill
High school team and that from
Platte, S. D. After the ball games
there will be 16 rounds of good fast
boxing, for those who love this
sport. The management say they
have some good bouts arranged
and this promises to be one of the
winning events of the day.
Another event that has never
been witnessed in this city is also
billed. A Sokol drill by 23 athletes
from our neighboring county of
Knox. Do not miss this exhibition.
In the evening all those who
wish to trip the light fantastic will
be given the opportunity, as there
will be; a free pavement dance com
mencing at 9 p. m.
Come one, come all, both great
and small if you want to enjoy
yourselves. You are assured a
good time, in a darn good town.
