Haying is over. Potatoes and
pumpkins in. Next is the corn.
Art Hazelbaker has acquired a
Model A coupe. He, in company
with John Baker, gave it a try-out
, Monday scouting around over in
f Green Valley.
Fall round-up is on again. Bower
& Hall are the first observed to
move a herd of bawling white
faces from the summer range to
the home ranch. Cattle have come
thru fairer and fatter than ever.
Mr. and Mrs. Tom Baker were in
Atkinson and vicinity Tuesday,
Tom investing in another porker
to install in his pens with the in
tent to acquire additional litters.

Mrs. Fanny Riley is expecting
her life-long friend, Mrs. Arthur
Hufnageil, of Lincoln, as a guest
this week.
Roy Warden got in on the horse
buying Tuesday at the Atkinson
sales ring, his bid catching a neat
little nag that will be put to use
down here.
Make a big haul and escape legal
penalties or be pardoned out. Steal
a calf or a few chickens and serve
out the limit.
Tom Baker made a run after a
fat, furry coon in the moonlight
Tuesday evening. Sir Coon’s short
but active legs carried him beyond
the danger zone and he was soon
lost to vision when he took to the
hills.
At Holt Creek, on the way out
from Atkinson Tuesday evening,
Bill Fryrear experienced the dis
may which comes to everybody at
least once when the old bus stops
perculating. Ten miles from home
with a “dead” motor is not the
most inspiring event on a pleasant,
moonlight autumn evening. As
things were looking their worst a
friendly and helpful neighbor came
along on the way home from town
and by the bumper process con
veyed the stalled car in.
^ Mrs. Farrier and her daughter
in-law, Mrs. H. Farrier, and two
children of Chambers, were guests
at the Riley ranch Sunday. The
elder Mrs. Farrier has recently re
turned from a visit in Oregon and
Washington and is quite charmed
with the Eden-like aspect there
encountered.
Mrs. Raymond Bly found it nec
essary to go to the neighbors for
help Wednesday morning when
her car balked on the way to school
with their little son. Some one is
generally not ^far away at such
times to “give a lift.”

A correction is in order. Mr.
James and his son w^re disappoint
ed in the trip mentidne^ fcfcr a^new
car, as none were available at pres
ent. H. L. and Mrs. James went
on a sad mission, however, Monday
of last week. An old friend of
the family during their residence
in Rock county, Ed Leahy, died
suddenly and was buried at his
home town, Danbury, Iowa, Mr.
and Mrs. James going to attend
the funeral.
Most automobile trips are with
out incident—preferably so when
the “incident” tnJ^ht be a smash
up. An exception to the general
rule was experienced the other day
up in the northern part of the
county. A very little lad came to
the road from a farm house and
gave us the stop sign. We thought
something must be w’rong but the
lad came up and asked breathless
ly “Have you a cigarette for my
brother?" It was something of a
stumper, but as none of our party
of six carried such equipment his
appeal was fruitless.
Some sixteen hundred Abysen
ians—civilians, women and child
ren—were put to the slaughter in
an air plane invasion as a retali
ation after 40 years, introducing
actual warfare. So that is revenge.
It would look a little better in the
eyes of civilization if the Duce’s
forces had taken it out on the black
troops instead of helpless non-com
batants. R. S.

band of Pierce, O'Neill s snappy
German band, the Knights of Siam
band, Norfolk American Legion
junior drum <h>rps, the Norfolk C.
and N. W. Boy Scouts drum corps
and several hundred Knights of
Siam.
“The parade was witnessed by a
throng that lined sidewalks on Nor
folk avenue. At each street inter
section many cars were parked,
from which people witnessed the
parade.
Gather in Verges Park.
“The marchers went from First to
Tenth street and then north to Dr.
C. J. Verges’ park where a barbe
cue feast and jamboree had been
prepared for the huge crowd under
the direction of Dr. Verp:s.
“Dr. Verges left nothing undone
for the entertainment of the visi
tors, who included not only the
O’Neill people but also groups of
Knights and others from northeast
Nebraska towns.
“Between 500 and 600 persons en
joyed the barbecue feast. Dr. Ver
ges had two 2-year-old beeves
barbecued for the visitors, there
being 400 pound? cf meat served.
In addition there were eighteen
gallons of beans, twelve gallons of
kraut, four gallons of dill pickles,
ninety loaves of bread, two gallons
of mustard, 20 pounds of onions,
20 pounds of radishes and 20
pounds of cheese. When the bfead,
supply, sufficient for 500 persons,
was exhausted more was obtained
so every person, would be served.
“Dr. Verges transformed his park
into what had the appearence of a
carnival ground There were tents,
two band stands, seats in front of
the stands, planks on posts so
guests could eat their meal with
enjoyment and four bonfires that
kept the big crowd from being
chilled.
“A Congenial Host.”
“Speaking for the guests, Lynn
D. Hutton, Norfolk, referred to Dr.
Verges as a “congenial host whose

which they spent at the concessions
on the ground.
Rands Entertain.
“The two German bands, the
O’Neill school band and the Knights
of Siam band played numbers while
the feast and jamboree were in
progress.
“The party brought together
many friends, made new friends of
many and gave Norfolkans and the
Knights of Siam a real treat. It
was with much regret the Norfolk
people had to say good bye to the
congenial O’Neill travelers and
other guests.
“At midnight, the O’Neill special
train left from the Seventh street
station, leaving behind pleasing
memories of their friendly invasion
of Norfolk.”

To Hold Corn-Ho*
Referendum Oct. 26
At a recent hearing in Washing
ton it was decided to hold a refer
endum on the corn hog program
whereby producers and landlords
can vote on its continuance in 1936.
In view of this fact, it might be
well to look back over the past
year and see a few concrete bene
fits that may be attributed, in whole
or in part to the AAA. Last year
Holt county had a total of 1378
corn-hog contracts which meant
that approximately 5200 individual
checks came into the county. Of
this number only 32 remain unpaid.
Represented by this number of
checks Holt county has received
$341,783.60 in first payment $109,
160.04 in second payments and $73,
022.21 in third payments. This
money all came in at a time when
it was sorely needed and used to
pay taxes, buy food and clothing
and no doubt turned over several
times before leaving the county.
Any business man in the county
cannot deny that this amount of
money circulating within thecounty
materially helped his business. In
addition to this around $6000.00
has been received on Holt county
wheat contracts with another pay
ment due this fall and spring of
nearly equal size. This money has
already been collected and paid in
and in no way increases the public
debt as do appropriations from
direct tax funds. In addition last
year 17,931 head of cattle were
purchased in the county by the
government for a total of $251,
247.00 which was considerably
above market price at that time.
Already in 1936 $48,157.05 has
been received on corn-hog contracts
with $20,000 more expected within
the next ten days or two weeks
and a total payment that will bring
the amount received by individual
farmers in the two years up near
the million dollar mark. In ad
dition there is the added advantage
of the corn loan and grain storage
and this does not figure the in
crease in the revenue from the in
creased price of those commodit
ies the producers have to sell.
