Raymond Bly invested in a span of greys at the Atkinson sale ring last week, one of the same getting a slam or a kick when conveyed hither in a truck that caused him to go lame in a hind leg. Rev. Mr. Norton, lately installed as pastor of the Free Methodist church in the Harry White neigh borhood, was in this community recently getting acquainted and inviting all to his church. Another bubbling owing well has just been brought in at Amelia, a town without a pump. It is for the use of patrons at the Floyd Adams filling station and others who wish to partake of its refreshing flow. Agricultural writers—maybe at a loss what to say—frequently ex patiate on the value of Russian thistles and tumble weeds as cattle feed. The Herefords out this way know their hay, and turn up white noses at the occasional thistle lodg ed in the stacks. The Methodist congregation at Amelia enjoyed a visit a week ago from their district superintendent, Rev. Dr. McKaskel, who gave them an afternon sermon. He was ac companied by Mrs. McKaskel and Rev. and Mrs. Jey, of Emmet, the later also acting as pastor at the Amelia church. To many Frontier readers around O'Neill a bit of information con cerning former citizens is always interesting. Not long since the compiler of this column received a letter from Guy Green. He will be remembered with interest by many. For a number of years he followed the pursuits of the husbandman near Walla Walla, Wash., but has rented his farm to a tenant and is now operating an apartment house at College Place, Wash. Twelve hundred head of cattle is something of a herd to trail at night. That’s the number that went by one night recently; that is, most of them got past us. There was an addition of 29 head de horned steers on the premises next morning and fences torn down in several places. The herd was brot in June from the dust-blown ranges of Colorado to summer range in Brown county, where, the cowboys informed us, Charley Petersen bought them. They were taken to West ranch and are now feeding on the spacious meadows or lolling around abundant hay stacks. It is said there are 1,000 stacks of hay on the Petersen ranch this season. It appeared like unneighborly, if not ruthless conduct to destroy fences, but we take it the cowboys were having trouble of their own, as the ranch was not reached until 12 o’clock that night. If “a bird in hand is worth two in the bush” what is one in a pock et worth? Hugh James has the remarkable experience to relate that he shot a pheasant, picked it up as a dead bird and stowed it away in the commodious pocket with which hunting coats are sup plied. An then the bird made its get-away. Having a pheasant fly out of his pocket was a new ex perience even to a veteran with a shotgun like Hugh and it so “rat tled” him that he made a clean miss when taking another shot at the escaped bird. As we were meandering toward the western limits of our rural do main a day last week a party of O’Neill nimrods, arrayed all in hunter’s attire, effective weapons, dog and all, overhauled us. Their destinationwasPatKennedy’s, some 7 miles further on, and ultimate object to bag all the pheasants the law allows. Mike Horiskey was at the steering wheel and was kept on his good behavior by Rev. Father Leahy, who sat by his side. The back seat was kept in sort of jud icial order by the presence of Clerk of the District Court, Ira Moss. Ira knows the southwest like a book and probably led the boys into the thick of the best shooting. As sistant Postmaster Martin gave an air of federal approval to the ex pedition. Herb Hammond com pleted the party and if there was not a nice mess of birds hauled U36 OLDSMOBILE at C)tew <Jjrw (Priced NEW STYLE-LEADER STYLING... SMOOTHER. LIVELIER POWER...

THE NEBRASKA SCENE by James R. Lowell The sales tax is the bugoboo of the special legislative session which began this week, and. Governor Cochran has primed his guns to shoot the unwelcome visitor down on the threshold. It has been definitely determined that the governor’s special session call can not legally bar the intro duction of a sales tax bill as a means of financing the contem plated social security program. A drive of sales tax advocates to provide money for old age pen sions or to replace property tax was defeated by strong majorities in the regular session last spring. The governor has been strong on clubbing down any “new forms of taxation.” Sixteen different items of emer gency and corrective legislation are included in the governor's call. These include the following: Meeting requirements of the na tional social security program un der conditions laid down by the federal government, and to re-en act the 1-cent gasoline tax for state relief and old age pensions. Providing for report of the in vestigation and audit of all the business transactions and activities of the department of banking; a substitution for the Cone delinqu ent tax bill, remitting interest pen alties; proper appropriation of funds for the new aeronautical commission,real estate commission, old age pension commissioner’s of fice, and expenses of the special session. Reimbursement of the Nebraska National Guard for the three wars of 1936; patching up the 1936 laws requiring owners of motor vehicles to pay personal taxes on their cars before they can obtain a license; empowering cities and counties to issue bonds to pay their share of WPA costs without first holding an (Continued on page 4, column 1.) —mm The difference youl save by purchasiny a Cerenade Radie wl alow you to buy a 1 washiny machine, electric ironer, or many other Hems of equal value.
