“DO AS YOU ARE TOLD.”
A prominent Seward county
democrat has received a letterfrom
the New Deal political organization
asking fo* the names of five per
sons in his community, “willing to
do as they are told” in carrying
on the campaign to perpetuate the
present administration.
The recipient of the letter is an
old time democrat who for years
^.jias followed his own conscience
and instructions to “do as you are
told” did not appeal to him. The
letter went into the waste basket
and the old time democrat is said
to have indulged in a little profan
ity.
A week of intense heat was
broken by clouds and a little rain

SOUTHWEST BREEZES
By Romaine Saunders
Tom Baker made a trip to Albion
last Saturday.
Some make a gai'bage can out

they are sick.
Bill Fryear and Ernest Young
each have fields of corn that will
produce at least a partial crop.
The fellows that are tinkering
with the bank vault at Emmet
should turn their atetion to hen
roosts.
A few thousand less than nine
hundred thousand ai’e now holding
government jobs. Too bad there is
not room for the ten millions of
unemployed.
Most of our citizens felt their
time was too valuable in the hay
field to attend the exhibition at
Burwell this season hence not many
went there from here.
In the pursuit of fact newspaper
writers encounter much fiction.
Running down rumor more likely
than not terminates like the rain
bow chaser—nothing to it.
Intimations are coming from
Washington that farmers are to be
told to “go to it” in the future.
An admission that the crop reduct
ion program is another “mistake.”
Corn has reached the “roasting
ear” stage out this way. Ask a
neighbor what are his prospects,
“0, there’ll probably be a few nub
bins.” But nubbins are preferable
to empty stalks.
This 1936 political campaign is
to be a contest as to which shall
predominate, the property owner
or those who have no property,
real or personal. The outcome is
going to be of interest in disclosing
the trend of the times.
A visitor to the great southwest
getting a glimpse of the countless
stacks of hay expressed his concern
as to how it would be got to market
just) now. It don't have to be
taken to market. The market is
coming here after it.
Home for a few days, the col
lector of the Breezes got to par

painting job then under way. The
work was delayed from time to
time hoping for cooler weather
which does not come.
Haying was completed Tuesday
at the Riley place. Mowers will
probably be running in many places
until October as there is a wide
spread inspiration on throughout
the southwest to get the last
blade of grass into a stack.
Not so much to put on exhibition
of fruits, garden and farm produce
this dry famine year. Chambers is
promising other attractions when
their fair opens September 8.
Rodeo and theatre performance is
supposed to make up the lack of
an honest-to-goodnesss fair.
It was reported that a man
known out here as Shag Andrews
was cut to pieces by the eastbound
midnight tain at Atkinson early
that morning. It was supposed he
had lain or fallen on the track in a
state of intoxication. He had
worked in this community baling
hay.
With withering heat, wilting,
over powering and blistering sun
boring down day after day, weeks
running into months, even the
verdant southwest has lost much
of its summer charm. Conditions,
too, are not at all conducive to the
accumulation of material for the
column of Breezes.
There has been franked from
Washington a first-class democrat
ic (speech by Nebraska’s senior
senator, not long since supposed to
be a republican. Uncle George
seems to have found his true
political affinity and the G. O.
P. of Nebraska will no longer be
hoodwinked. Politicians have their
gall to send campaign literature
through the mails without post
age.
