Bridgettine, who is superintendent of nurses at St. I Paul’s hospital here is the daughter j of Mrs. J. Mills, of Dixon, Nebr., | and is said to he one of the most | efficient trained nurses in these j islands. Her position here is one! of great responsibility; she is said j to be an expert in training Filipino girls to become graduate nurses. We have now visited many suga» centrals, many rice farms, many cocoanut oil factories and the cord- j age factories. Many of us have i learned where much of our cordage j and cocoanut oil comes from and j much of the legislation which will come up before our insular affairs committee will receive more intelli gent consideration. We Americans have asked many questions which have been answered in various ways. Time and again we have secreted ourselves away from “ap pointed guides” and have taken old-timers into our confidence and have gone out and made personal investigations which were not in terferred with by certain officials. November 15, 1935 Today we witnessed the inaugur ation of Manuel Quezon as the first president of these Islands and the birth of a new nation. Most of those who are leaders in the gov ernment of the United States were here mingling with those who are to be the first leaders of this new republic. Serious minded Filipinos admit to us that from now on they are practicing how to run a gov ernment. They say that they real ize that there are foreigners here who do not believe they can make the steep grade. They admit that many of their own people don’t know what it is all about. That many of them believe that inde pendence means independence from all taxation—but they feel that their leaders, by bringing together the two major parties into a coali Frontier Freighters Freighting from Omaha and Sioux City Tuesday and Friday Leave O’Neill Sunday and Wednesday JOHN TEN BORG W.

(Continued Next Week.) Over the County SOUTHWEST BREEZES The boys at the Fred Watson lanch have imparted a new lease on life to the reliable old truck by installing a new transmission. Mike McCarthy is another ranch er of this section to retire from the game, holding a sale at the ranch near Inez Thursday of this week.

In a letter from Washington dated the 12th it is stated: “The new ten million dollar fire-proof postoffice in the city burned, to the ground last night." Nothing much is “fire-proof” if the right sort of flame gets at it. The social security program has taken legislative form. It is de voutly to be wished that it can be ! administered to the welfare of the j old timers without the humiliation, often insult, widowed mothers have been subjected to when pre senting their needs for the pittance of a pension. — Mysteries are not all in the mag icians bag of tricks. If the gas tax for the pension fund was unconsti tutional two months ago, why con stitutional now? When the Old Dutch Cleanser chasers get things down so fine formulating rules for the farmer that a can of cream is rejected if a speck of dust is detected, not much cream will go to market from sand blown Holt. Let the city dwellers get their spread from a box of axle grease. _ Alcohol, narcotics, profane and corrupt communication have much of the generation engulfed. Clean living is not everywhere popular but is always satisfactory. When the T. B. testers come to one of the southwest’s ranchers to tackle testing they will find a large undertaking. The Petersen ranch is carrying three thousand steers and three hundred cows, all about as docile as a herd of wild buffalo. According to recent figures, just about every 12th person is on the federal pay roll. A pretty good start on the votes necessary for reelection. Had the gift been imparted for assembling words in poetic cadence a Holt county version of “Snow Bound” might have floated in with the Breezes.
