Freight trains nowadays
act like express specials.
New freight schedules are
sofast, I sometimes wonder
if everythinghastobedeliv
ered day before yesterday.
•
Many of our passenger trains
are running faster schedules,
too. Well, one thing is sure. We
make faster runs, but the first
railroad commandment is still
“Safety First.” That’s one rule
they won’t change.
•
Western railroads and al
lied industries provided
jobs for 750,000 workers
last year. Some of them
live in our town. Good
neignbors.
•
Passenger fares are now the
lowest in history with substan
tial reductions on round trips.
And no more surcharge for rid
ing in sleeping cars.
• - j
This new Free pick-up-and-de
livery of less than carload 1
freight—I heard some travel- ,
ing salesmen talking about it
on the train yesterday. They
said it saves shippers a lot of
money and centers all respon
sibility on the railroad. The
railroad picks up the freight at
shipper’s door and delivers to
receiver’s door. Of course, local
delivery men get the haul from
door-to-car and car-to-door at
both ends. The railroad handles
the whole transaction.
•
When railroads are busy,
I notice towns along the
railroad are prosperous.
The merchants put more
ads in the newspapers.

SOUTHWEST BREEZES
By Romaine Saunders
Those claiming a fruitful season
follows a cold and snow blown
winter have had their mouths ef
fectually stopped.
“You’ll be surprised” is a stock
phrase of the radio advertising
jally hooer. Yes, surprised if the
duff comes within a mile of doing
what is claimed for it.
Supervisor John Steinhauser was
Jown this way Saturday looking
jver the needs for bridge repair
ing. One on 'the township line

A Lancaster county housewife
•ays they are getting $1.25 a day
’rom four pure bred Holsteins and
putting $2 a day into them for
feed. Down here in the southwest
we get that much out of White
Races without buying a nickle's
worth of feed.
Building dams here and there
ind elsewhere might give a lot of
fellows jobs but that will not make
it rain. Were it not inconsistent
with the modern fancy of plowing
under nature’s bounties, we would
suggest that in the place of dams
crews be put to work putting down
irrigation wells.
Office space occupied by the fed
eral government has grown from ]
61 million square feet in 1933 to
87 million square feet in 1936.
Make it a little bigger so there
will be room for those from the
abandoned farm homes, the former
factory and mill workers and
everybody who thinks they would
make a great figure at an office
desk.
Victor Howith, Swan’s efficient
township clerk, drove the 63 miles
j from his place to O’Neill Satur
day to attend the meeting of town
ship officers to consider fire pre
vention. A meeting for the town
ship will be held Friday evening
at the Kennedy school house when
plans are expected to be laid for a
concerted action down here to con
trol fire.
Mr. and Mrs. L. M. Rohrer, of
Hastings, and the Misses Maria
and Mildred Saunders, of Wash
ington, D. C., arrived at the home
of their parents here late last
week. Mrs. Roher is the daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Saunders and has
been w'ith her husband on a trip
east. They left for their home at
Hastings Sunday and the girls
from Washington remained for a
visit.
The calm of a summer night in
the southwest, with a bed spread
between rows of stately elm and
towering cottonwoods, stars ablaze
in their facinating brillancy far in
the heavens ab?>ve, cool and restful
—a place for soul enjoyment trans
cending magnificent cathedral or
the giddy haunts of pleasure. The
simple things in life, nature’s
treasure-store of beauty and wond
ers hold a charm that is being too
much neglected by a pleasure
chasing world.
In tossing aside the job ot na
tional committeeman for Nebraska
who las Senator Burke in mi'id
w..en be says: I cannot work for
the election of an/ candidate mas
querading as a democrat, who is a
democrat in name only, and who
understand? nor cares at
all for the fundamental principles.”
A gentleman out at Scottsbluff is
probably not willing to concede to
Mr. Burke the right to clothe him
self with the authority of custod
ian of “democratic principles.”
An early morning in the great |
southwest gives inspiration to
shake loose from drowsy slumber
and hike forth where the birds are
greeting the new day with song
and the nocturnal and long-eared
jack rabbits are hunting cover. At
an early hour, when the eastern
sky has taken on the delicate tints,
when the mist of night’s evapora
tions hang low across far stretch
ing meadows, there is a freshness
and invigorating touch experienc
ed at no other hour. Some go to
mountains, sea shore, far distant
points at great expense. Down
here we get it all at no cost.
It is noteworthy that one of the
two men rescued from the mine
at Moberly, Mo., was past 50 and (
came out of the harrowing exper- j
ience “as good as ever.” Twoj
companions, each age 27, died in;
the mine and the younger man res
cued with him was near daath
when brought to the surface. A
notable doctor once proposed put
ting all of us over 40 ou<t of the
way with chloroform. The world
has lately discovered that those of
settled habits and tpughcned by
the passing decades are not so
easily laid on the shelf. Last week •
one day a 74-year-old drove out
from O’Neill to the southwest,
plastered a room two coats and
got back home by 6 o'clock. An
80-mile drive and a day’s work.

Has Real
European
Flavor
In the short period of two weeks the
new Store Pilsener Club Beer has become
a sales leader all over this part of the
west. Its quick popularity has boomed
Store sales to the point of setting new
volume records. Two things about Store
Pilsener Club seem to make a great hit—
extra fine flavor and popular price.
Store is proud of this new beer. It has
that old-world flavor of European Pil
sener.* Light in color — light in taste —
yet it has plenty of strength and author
ity. Store special slow ageing process
gives it exceptional smoothness and
richness.
Try Pilsener Club soon. Sold by
dealers, taverns and restaurants. Buy it
by the case — by the bottle — or try a
cold glass "on tap." It is a beer that will
make a hit anywhere —- any place.
-
For 600 years the beer of Pilsen, in
Bohemia, has been one of Europe's
most famed beers. In Store Pilsener
Club the genuine Pilsen formula is
used. Experts agree that Store, has
caught the old-world flavor perfectly.
