grass for fall pasture.

SOUTHWEST BREEZES
By Romaine Saunders
Mrs. Harry White was taken to
Savannah, Mo., last week for medi
cal examination and treatment.
William Lierman and family of
California are visiting for a week
with his mother, Mrs. Hulda Lier
man, and other relatives.
Doc Townsend has the nerve to
do what most everybody has felt
like doing when set up as a witness
at a “court of inquiry”—walk out
on them.
Mr, and Mrs. Frank Adamson
and children, missionaries on fur
lough from South Africa, are at
the home of Mrs. Adamson’s per
mits, Mr. and Mrs. Harry White.
The fellow with a figure re
sembling a barrel with posts for
legs can’t conceal the crude hulk
of his person with the scanty at
tire of these hot days.
No one could object to suffering
citizens at Lincoln spending the
hot nights on the state house’s five
thousand dollar lawn. We could:
accomodate quite a crowd of them
down here on the vast reaches of
meadow, with a bale of hay for a
pillow.
Various theories are advanced to
account for the prolonged dry spell.
One fantastic idea has it the radio
is responsible. One theory is prob
ably as good as another but nature
takes little account of the specula
tions of men and rain falls when
vapors of sufficient water content
form over our heads.
The prolonged heat made it nec
essary to install more tanks in
pastures and corrals to supply
sufficient water for thirsty stock.
Dealers in nearby towns are about
sold out on tanks. Some ranchers
have made tanks by shaping two
pieces of sheet metal into a circle
and making a bottom of clay and
sand.
Now conies a Cornell university
professor and speaks derogatory
of General Custer, who with his
entire command were butchered by
the Sioux sixty years ago. We
don’t mind so much the college
men trying their funny tricks at
Capitol Hill but will have to insist
that they let our romantic figures
of the west alone.
Defenders of the Franklin D.
program anchor their strong argu
ments on the president’s supposed
stablizing of the country’s banks.
Banks that kept up their reserve
were all right and those that did
not went to the wall. It is the re
serve funds of business institutions
it is the studied purpose of New
Dealers to divert into tr.x channels.
A refreshing note was sounded at
the recent gathering in Cincinnati
of the American students volun
teers. The word came from some
three thousand young Americans
gathered from various institutions
of learning that they are “not look
ing for jobs—we have a message.”
Their message is the old one first
sounded in old Galilee and probably
the need now is as great as ever.
Through the courtesy of J. D.
Cronin at O’Neill the compiler of
the Breezes, now temporarily em
ployed at the county seat, spent a
day or two at home recently. Mr.
Cronin visited the southwest on
business and gave us a ride out
Friday last. The primative pioneer
instinct leads to the enjoyment of
placing the feet on the sod after a
period of traveling the pavement
and cement sidewalks.
A Sioux City paper classing
itself an independent asks who is
backing Landon. It gives its own
answer, W. R. Hearst, “the most
evil political influence in America.”
Four years ago “the most evil
political influence in America back
ed Roosevelt with the prodidious
use of 12 and 72 point caps. But
who is backing Landon ? That
numerous body of self-respecting,
self-supporting, substantial and
worthwhile citizens who will not
barter away their political heritage
for a mess of pottage.
Passing from one town to an
other by bus I recently fell into
conservation with an old fashioned
American mother and grandmother.
She has ten children of whom she
is proud, and also informed me she
was a great grandmother in the
third degree. She gave me her
name as I remember Mrs. Oldecker
and her home at Roswell, N. M..
She is 84 and. except for a broken
leg that has kept her on crutches
for a year is remarkably active and
keen witted. She had been in Holt
county to visit a sister at Atkin
son who she had not seen for over
50 years and at the time of our
meeting was on her way back to
Roswell. To the multitude she is
just an old woman on crutches, to
her numerous deecndents she
doubtless is held in high regard as
mother and grandmother. To me
the old lady typifies the best of a
vanishing American womanhood.
With the fruits of a season’s
hard labor destroyed by a merci
lessly burning sun, the family,
the cows, the poultry and all living
things on the farm facing famine
it takes the hope, the cheerfulness,
the romance and the poetry out of
life, with a view into the future of
only stark dread if not dispair.
Not alone a township, a county or
a state is facing it, but the occu
pants of the many hitherto splen
did farms in many states. Ameri
ca has faced calamity always with
fortitude and bravery and if a way
through is not found it will be the
first.

0 p. m , several clouds of grass

Some in this locality saw some
fly over at noon.
