Over the County SOUTH WEST BREEZES Mr. and Mrs. Alva Baker went to Ord Sunday for a visit with rela tives. — Our liberties may be going but there is still the well exercised privilege of criticising the acts of public officials, paying their salaries ^ and talking about the neighbors. Approaching three score and ten and carrying well over 200 averdu pois, advalorem, John Baker is something of a hiker. Spending the day Sunday with his sister, Mrs. Hazelbaker, he hoofed it home toward evening, a distance of sev eral miles across pastures and meadows. - Returning from a trip to the home of a relative in Garfield county Sunday, Mr. and Mrs. Rob lyer of Atkinson, accompanied by their nephew Lee Smith, made a short stop with friends in Swan. Jay is going to sweeten things up as he has made a barrel of sorghum. - Floyd Adams went to Neligh Sunday to attend a meeting of rural mail carriers. George Hol comb efficiently served, the patrons at the gas station during his ab sense. Floyd, ably assisted by Mrs. Adams, has combined the gas business and a mail route success fully. — Wyoming township drys feel they were not dealt with fairly by the county board in the matter of a remonstrance to a petition for a liquor license at Amelia which was before the board. They claim eighty citizens of the township signed the remonstrance and the petition for the license. contained nine names. The county board voted to recommend the petitioner be granted a license by the state board. The drys took their case to the state board and so far have been successful. They claim 7!j y per cent of the citizens of Wyom ing township are opposed to the dispensing of liquor within its boundai’ies. - A demonstration of the volatile danger of exposed gasoline in a closed and heated room was brot to the attention of participants by a fire at the Adams filling station in Amelia Thursday last. Mr. f Adams was working with a tire on the floor of his station.. The door was closed, an open vessel of gaso line sat on the floor, being used cleaning the tire; a lighted oil stove sat nearby. The occupants of the room, besides Mr. Adams, were a customer and George Holcomb. The oil stove was noticed to be burning high and was turned down. Just then the room was filled with flames of burning gasoline fumes. The three rushed for the door and got out without being burned. They turned their attention to putting out the fire, which was done by throwing gravel from the driveway. A thoroughly black ened interior and some damage to the stock resulted, covered by in surance - The Frontier of recent date fjtated that Lt. Col. C. A. Meals, retired, an O’Neill boy, was ap pointed to West Point by the con gressman. Charley won his spurs, not by political appointment, but by competitive examination. The examinations were held at Broken $ow and Charley drove across the country alone twice to take them. Que other contestant, a young fel low by the name of Leo Tobin— probably the Mr. Tobin now with the Omaha Bee-News—had slightly higher scholastic grades than the boy from O’Neill but failed, the physical test. This gave Charley the preference and he was appoint ed as cadet from the Sixth district. He stuck by the army ever since and is now retired, becoming, like the rest of us who were kids in those glad days, an old man. Southwest Holt’s farmers and rahchers were pleasantly surprised to discover through the chief ex ecutive’s rear platform address on , his recent trip across the country, that they were in on the five billion farm increase since 1932. That means we each have $250 in cash more money on hand at present. Indiviually, checking up this even ing finds this gentleman of the soil $249.85 short in his account. Just where his share of the five billion lies concealed will probably remain a. juggler’s mystery. There is an air of mystery, too, about our high ^ and honored public officials ascer t#ing to the dollar what the income of the man with the hoe actually is. As to price levels of farm pro ducts in ’32 and ’35 there may be a five billion gap. The gloomy side of it to the Nebraska farmer is he has to buy his feed and seed with borrowed funds in place of having snrplusses to sell. As a keen wit ted farm woman wrote a year ago a thousand bushels of corn at 10 cents a bushel is worth a hundred dollars; an empty crib at 80 cents a bushel is worth how much? Moreover, the farmer has found continually rising prices of the common home and farm necessities, is not as rosey as the president’s master hand has painted it. R. S.
