__I Over the County SOUTHWEST BREEZES ^ Derold Carpenter has a job at the Atkinson sale ring. The Hall boys and Ned Saunders were at Chambers Saturday night. Bob McGinnis w’as recently up from Lincoln looking after his in terests in southwest Holt. Most of us approve of the other fellow admitting he was wrong; admitting it yourself—that’s dif ferent. Elliott Carpenter, employed on a ranch north of Amelia, spent Sun day with his family who are spend ing the winter at the home of El liot’s parents. Mr. and Mrs. H. L. James, ac companied by their daughter and husband of Atkinson, visited rela tives at Kearney over Sunday. The Saunders boys took Mrs. Carpenter and children and Mild red Whitcomb to Atkinson Sun day night for the student members of the party to be on hand for school Monday. An all-day drizzle the 26th merg ing into a sopping wet snow at night with moist conditions pre vailing the 27th, brought needed and appreciated wetting after an unusually dry fall. Mrs. Fannie Riley went to Al bion Tuesday of last week and had a brief visit with relatives and former neighbors, returning Thurs day. Ned Saunders presided at the steering wheel on the trip. Those in the community inter ested in “shaking a leg” to the whine of the violin attended a dance at Swan lake Saturday night. These will be frequent affairs dur Jjj ing the winter months. Jack Widman of Amelia accom panied the group from this com munity which went to Lincoln last week to interview the department of agriculture. H. L. James and Chas. Peterson also went. Senator Brady, of Atkinson, headed the delegation. t — Dave Price piloted a team and wagon from the James ranch to Mike Higgin's Saturday for a load of planks to be used in the con struction of a feed rack. Dave thinks he would rather have the hay in a feed rack when the temp erature drops to 20 below than setting out on the meadows. A citizen of Swan, Lew Bly, was the good Samaritan who happend along when C. B. Yarnell, of O’Neill, was in desperate need of someone to get him to a doctor quick. Yarnell's car overturned end over end six miles south of At kinson, and he was quite badly hurt, bleeding profusedly before Mr. Bly could get him to town. A cat got mixed up with traffic as cars came whizzing through Amelia’s busy street Sunday con veying the occupants from the place of their weekly devotions, the car driven by Morris Kennedy catch ing the puss about midship and nearly finishing it on the spot, but the black mite of a cat managed to drag off the street on its own power. Lowell and Wayne Hall expected to finish a two thousand bushel job of corn husking Wednesday. They had planted sixty-five acres to corn on the Riley place and have har vested a crop of good corn. The two have been taking 100 bushels a day from the field after driving 90me five miles from their homes with teams each morning, or to be more specific, one with a team and one with a truck. - ?' Stakes with bits of red flag flut tering in the wind have been placed at intersections on the three-mile V strip of road leading from highway No. 11 east to Amelia. This is the tangible evidence that surveyors have laid out the surface specifi cations for this bit of highway. Anticipation has had it all along that this highway was to be built through to Chambers, but the word is now that just this three-mile strip is to be built, whether oil or gravel has not been disclosed. Mixing the culinary concoction for ao important dish for the Thanksgiving menu it was dis covered the supply of sage had been exhausted. Some features of a dinner are apparently nothing with out the seasoning. Borrowing at the neighbors is the usual recourse at such a time but another plan was now followed. Wild sage was • rather abundant in the hay mead ows the past season, any hay stack yielding the few sprigs for an emergency call. It was tried out —and worked. The platform adopted by the re publican national convention which nominated Lincoln declared that “the maintenance of the principles promulgated in the Declaration of Independence and embodied in the Federal Constitution is essential to the preservation of our repub lican institutions. That all men are created equal; that they are en dowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights. That the Fed eral Constitution, the rights of the states and the union of the states must and shall be preserved.’’ The 1936conventionwill doubtless make a similar declaration. With the solid south against him and the northern vote split three ways, Lincoln won on the strength of what he and his party stood for. History often repeats. Tastes differ in literature as well as in the selection of a pair of socks. Enthusiastic admirers are endeavoring to arouse an apparent ly indifferent public to the import ance of the productions in the field of philosophic-humorous literature of two deceased Americans. We were never able to keep awake for more than about ten lines of either. Nebraska—and Holt county—has had better writers. Probably not many will remember “Old Bates,” as he was known near half a cent ury ago. Ewing, O’Neill, Atkinson and Stuart papers at times had him employed as a printer. He was a veritable William Shakespear in the use of high-class English, tak ing the reader to the height of pathos, through facinating classical expression and coming to a roaring humorous climax—all in the mere commonplace items of the weekly news. A collection of news para graphs of this old printer dug out of the files of papers upon which he worked would, make interesting reading to Holt county people. R. S.

SHIELDS One of the largest and most en thusiastic social meetings in the history of Dist. 145 was held Fri day evening, Nov. 29. Miss Louise Sullivan, the present incumbent, deserves considerable credit in try ing to inaugurate social activities especially for the young people. It was surprising how nicely the young students on the program re sponded under her direct tutelage. Miss Ilene Sullivan and Miss Margaret Earley, students of the St. Mary’s academy — reputedly slated for stardom—rendered their service in a comedy, “To Late for the Bus,” that had thrills aplenty. Next on the list was Mary Wal nofer, Elane Murray and Patricia Gallagher in a play, “Adv. for Husbands.” Will Murphy acted a photograph, Bob, Joe, and Jimmie Early and Raymond Walnofer the aspirant. The plot moved faster and the dialogue became more bril liant until the nigger in the wood pile was revealed. Next was “50-50 in a Gold Mine” in which all the pupils took part. This resembled the stock exchange to the writer and it created about as much attraction. This with sev eral vocal solos and selections con cluded the main feature. Immediately after Ed Murray, a committeeman of Shields con nected with the Triple A, was cal led upon. We all knew Ed had a little pent up energy that he want ed to release, and it being an op portune time we enjoyed the in formation. But those staggering assessments levied in the various industries for maintenance of a code baffled our memory. He con cluded by commending the splendid work accomplished by some of the rural teachers that have been Com paratively over-looked from a soc ial angle. We are all hungry for nice friendship and companionship with the people of Shields. 1 would not presume to dictate to those teach ers how they should conduct their respective schools but they could get an excellent idea of what their neighbors are thinking about in connection with those social activ ities. We all appreciate Mr. Mur ray’s theme. Jack Ernst, a famous protege of Jim Moore, that knew everybody knee high to a grasshopper, auc tioned off the numerous baskets. Everything went as smooth as an oyster in a bottle of castor oil, un til every cent was extracted from the vast audience. Tom Donohoe, Jr., an old stand patter, graced the old time friends and gave us all an idea of what he has accomplished in the west. He is connected with the Chevrolet people and is one of the expert salesmen at Gering, Nebr., and he says its the only place on the map where the crops never fail, all of the land being under irrigation. And did you ever see a Donohoe where you weren’t welcome? Well Tom is one of the many. The Mullen quartette furnished excellent music for the occasion and the cutest little band you ever saw. So with this we concluded we had a pretty well rounded out evening of choice entertainment, and those who turned out were well repaid.—Edw. S. Sarley. H. R. 39 of special session vint age, which exempts alcohol-blend motor fuel from the 5-cent state gasoline tax, has already injected and interesting development into the Nebraska scene. A new Ne braska organization, to be known as the Agricultural Power-Alcohol corporation, has purchased an old distillery in Omaha. A plant will be opened there soon for manufac ture of alcohol out of farm pro ducts, namely corn, to be blended with gasoline as automobile fuel. DANCE AT K. C.
