SOUTHWEST BREEZES
^ A cow at the Bower ranch is re
ported to have bled to death last
week after being dehorned.
L. W. Berry, in a feeble state of
health all summer, was able to get
out election day last week and cast
his ballot.
The southwest has furnished an
other trio in crime for judicial dis
position. Not that this community
is more lawless than others, merely
that Constable Sigman is more vig
ilent than many functionaries in
chasing down the light-fingered
gents.
Mr. and Mrs. Tom Baker attend
ed a cattle sale at Columbus last
Thursday when a large number of
Short Horn sires were sold. They
bought a lO-months’-old calf with
the blue blooded pedigree tracing
back to the famous ones of the
breed. They arrived home some
time after midnight with their pur
chase.
Work began Monday in an ef
fort to eradicate the bumps and
holes on the road passing the Van
Lorn place. The work is being done
at the expense of Wyoming town
ship and is in the hands of men and
horses of the neighborhood.
The three A program may de
posit a little cash in the pocket of
the boss on the farm that he hasn’t
earned, but it helps the unemploy
ment situation not a bit. If half of
the seven million farms in the Un
ited States are lined up with the
crop and stock reduction scheme
^ they get along with some three
million fewer hired men.
Feeling- that he was more a vic
tim of circumstances than crimin
ally inclined and that the ends of
justice would be as well served
thereby a number of substantial
citizens of Swan and Wyoming
signed a petition to the presiding
f judge to parole to his father young
Baker, convicted in district court
at O’Neill last week on a charge of
complicity with others in purloin
ing a bunch of wool. The outcome
would indicate there was no at
tempt to pull the wool over the
eyes of anyone.
Two white horses threatened to
involve a citizen Monday in a horse
thief law suit. The horses strayed
away last week from Raymond
Bly’s home and wandered into
George Withers’ barn yard. Mr.
Bly learned of their whereabouts,
being informed that he need not in
convenience himself to come after
them as the horses were doing no
damage and he could get them
when he could get around to it.
Sunday a third person spoke to
Mr. Bly about using the horses in
husking corn, Bly claiming he did
not give his consent. At any rate,
the one wanting to use the horses
went to the Withers place and got
them and had them on road work
Monday. After some verbal spar
ring and a visit to the justice of
the peace, the owner got his horses
and took them home in the evening,
legal proceedings being abandoned.

THE NEBRASKA
SCENE
(Continued from page 4.)
has been in political life rather
regularly for more than a decade.
Special Session Side-Lights
A member of the house of repre
sentatives who helped while away
the time during the regular ses
sion by taking frequent nips from
(a then) illegal bottle of spirits
frumenti, spent just 10 days with
the special session. Then with his
$100 and travel expenses in his
pocket he hied himself home. In
cidentally, there probably is only
one representative district in the
state w+iere his actions would be
countenanced, but the people in
that district rather enjoy him and
would elect him to the unicameral
legislature if the district were big
enough.
While members of the legisla
ture were pinching pennies and
eating in hamburger joints during
the last days of the session, em
ployees of the two houses were
wreathed in smiles. Your corres
pondent heard a mixed quartet
singing “I Won’t Go Home Until
Morning” somewhere in the state
house a few days ago. Upon trail
ing the sound, it was discovered to
come from a mimeograph room.
A high leader of the democratic
party in the state who naturally
refused the use of his name in
print, stated confidentally that the
last two-house group of legislators
is the worst in his memory.
Of course there are many fine
legislators in the bunch,” he said,
“but the majority are the bunk.
They don’t know apple butter from
et cetera. I used to oppose the
unicameral idea, but I ve come to
believe it will be a blessing. At
least it can’t be any worse than
what we’ve got. I honestly believe
that each legislature has been
worse than it predecessor since the
state was born.”
Director W. B. Banning of the
state department of agriculture
and inspection gave his office help
a real scare recently when he de
veloped a nose-bleed that wouldn’t
stop. He became so weak that they
had to lay him on his back and
send a rush call for a doctor. It
later was ascertained that an old
fashioned nose blowing had broken
a small blood vessel.

V- 8 LEADERSHIP
HjBi ilj<-f|^lftri.:B I
On October 31 oi last year. Henry Ford
announced his intention to build a million
Ford V-8s in 1935. We are pleased to re
port that this goal was reached in exactly
ten months instead of a full year.
One million cars and trucks is an im
pressive total. But figures by themselves
mean nothing. It is what they represent
that counts. Selling a V-8 at a low price
has brought a new kind of automobile
within reach of the people. Producing it
has provided steady work for hundreds
of thousands of men in the Ford plants, in
associated industries and on the farm.
These million Ford V-8 cars and trucks
have helped to make things better all
around. In the first ten months of 1935 the
Ford Motor Company paid out, in the
United States alone, $140,119,326.00 in
wages and $523,111,389.00 for materials.
FORD MOTOR COMPANY
BUILDER OF PORD. LINCOLN AND LINCOLN-ZEPHYR MOTOR CARS
THE NEW FORD V-8 FOR 1936 IS NOW ON DISPLAY. THE CAR THAT LED ALL OTHERS IN 1935
HAS BEEN MADE STILL BETTER FOR THE NEW YEAR
