DARNELL GETTING
ON NICELY AFTER
HIS CAR SMASH-UP
About $30 Worth of Merchandise
In His Car At Time of the
Accident Is Missing.
Last Wednesday afternoon while
returning from a meeting of the
Golden Rule store managers held
at Holdrege the forepart of last
week, the car of C. B. Yarnell, local
manager of the Golden Rule store,
was sideswiped by another car
about six miles south of Atkinson^
on highway No. 11. His car went
into the ditch, turning over, Mr.
Yarnell evidently being thrown
thru the roof of the car, as their
is a hole in the roof. He was picked
up in the road unconscious and tak
en to a hospital at Atkinson and
his family was notified.
In the accident Mr. Yarnell suf
fered a severe cut over the right
eye and another on the back of the
head, and was severely bruised and
shaken up. He is of the opinion
that the accident occurred about
4:30 in the afternoon and it was a
little after 5 o’clock when he was
taken into Atkinson.
He was brought home Thursday
afternon and is getting along very
nicely, altho rather weak from the
shock and loss of blood from the
cuts on his head. All the glass in
the car, except the windshield was
broken and the roof of the car
badly torn, but the outside of the
cA: was not seriously damaged.
, Mr. Yarnell says that he does
not remember much about the ac
cident. He saw the car coming
down the road but does not re
member being hit or side-swiped,
altho the car shows that it was
side-swiped by another. Mr. Yar
nell was unconscious from the time
of the accident until 2:30 the next
morning. The accident might have
been much worse and his many
y friends here are congratulating
him on the fact that he escaped
as luckily as he did.
Mr. Yarnell had about $30 worm
of merchandise in the car at the
time of the accident. The car was
brought into Atkinson about 9
o’clock that evening, but the mer
chandise had been removed from
the car. It appears that light
fingered gentry are not all confined
to the great cities of the country.
The Atkinson graphic of last
week contained the following ac
county of the accident:
“Charley Yarnell, manager of
the Golden Rule store in O’Neill,
was brought to the Atkinson hos
pital Wednesday evening in semi
conscious condition and suffering
severe cut and bruises received
when his automobile was wrecked
on highway No. 11 south of this
city.
“The accident happended late
Wednesday afternoon and appar
ently no one witnessed it. A south
Holt ranchman, Mr. Bly, and Lance
Withers, discovered Yarnell lying
on the highway near the Nick
Kline place. He was unconscious
and bleeding badly from a severe
head cut. His car was in the ditch
and looked as though it had rolled
over several times. A hole thru
the top indicated that Yarnell had
been thrown out of the car by that
route. Bly and Withers brought
the injured man to Atkinson for
medical attention.”

Lost Southern Markets
Under the AAA the South is fast
becoming a competitor of the
Western states. As a result of re
duced cotton acreage the following
census figures reveal the trend in
Alabama toward general farming:
Corn acreage jumped from 6,
226,704 acres in 1930 to 7,278,261
acres in 1935, a gain of 2,051,567
acres.
Wheat jumped from 1,524 to
9,075 acres.
Oats jumped from 12,299 to 15,
084 acres.
Grain sorghums from 667 to 2,
680 acres.
Irish potatoes from 21,256 to
33,583 acres.
Sweet potatoes from 68,105 to
110,749 acres.
Hay from 454,696 to 906,286
acres.
Cattle increased from 681,298
head to 1,125,208 head.
Hogs from 831,171 head to 888,
602 head.
The census bureau comments up
on this: “The additional production
of food and feed crops is such as
to enable a large portion of farm
ers to live at home rather than buy
their supplies from the stores.”
With the export market gone and
the South raising its own wheat
and corn for feed, the Western
farmer is going to have to curtail
production still more. There are a
great many Western farmers who
are for the AAA wholeheartedly
now, but when they realize how
their export and many domestic
markets are being taken from them
it will be a different story.—Ne
braska Farmer.
