i Over the County SOUTHWEST BREEZES By Romaine Saunders H. L. James and the hired man spent Sunday at Clearwater. W. H. Crumley of Page, took in the John Widman sale south of Amelia last week. Donald McCarthy arrived last week from Idaho on a visit to the ; home folks at Inez. Mr. and Mrs. Saunders, Ned and Miss Mildred went to O’Neill Sun day, the former to remain there for a week. An inebriated female at the steer ing wheel piloting a car that kills is a new accomplishment of modem civilization. Among the many methods em ployed for self-destruction why should a leap from a fifth story window appeal to onyone? The few little kiddies attending the Berry school were given a holiday vacation last week as a i large item in their CMftstmas cheer. Where are the paragraph writers like Ross Hammond, Doc Bixby, Walt Mason and several others? The work of many now assaying this role is like a flat tire. Was it not such men as Stanley Baldwin and the benign old Bishop of Canterbury who have forged out the great Bristish empire, rather than story writers and dreamers? The honorable Rexford Tugwell retiring from public life to enter the molasses business suggests he may be seeking a sweetening en vironment after these somewhat bitter years at Capitol Hill. Christmas and the day previous flies buzzed about in the sunshine and then the week closed with fog and mist that froze in a shining silver coat of mail, ending a week of unusually pleasant weather with another reminder of winter. A presidential campaign, the am ours of a British soverign, Santa Claus pictures with prolific Yule tide editorial, news and feature MISCELLANEOUS FOUND—$5 bill on O’Neill streets.

Herre—Jeweler In Reardon Drug Store stories have in turn bulged the columns of the great papers. May be now there will be space to re count the normal activities of neighbors and friends. The only residents of this com munity formerly living under the British Hag feel the government has taken the right course with Ed ward. Tom Baker is a native of England and H. L. James a native of Wales. Both disapprove of a divorced woman sitting as queen of the British empire. The Yuletide season furnished the usual volume of platitudes re specting peace and good will but I noticed no suggestion that per haps a more acceptable memorial to the great historical event for which Christmas stands would be in conforming the daily living to the precepts of the Sermon on the Mount. Howard Berry is seen out fre quently in the old. Ford with the hounds. What luck they are hav ing in scooping in wolves I haven’t heard. One rarely hears the howl of a hungry coyote down this way. Rabbits are plentiful, prairie chick ens a rarety, pheasants not num erous and at last accounts the few deer still clung to their feeding grounds in western Swan. Whether the operators were un duly harrassed when running up the slugs for this column the last issue or my own pencilings were utterly illegible the French equiv alent of a common English word fared badly in a paragraph express ing a view on a closed English American incident. The mother tongue is preferable nearly always but occasionally a foreign word adds elegance to the commonplace. The word should have appeared “amours” — not “armours” or “omours.” An automobile magnate has be come interested in the Cedar valley down in Garfield county, has bought the old McCarthy ranch and other properties, something over 20,000 acres. D. A. Wallace of the Chrysler corporation has plans for the development of a million-dollar ranch property just to the south of us. It will be the most extensive individual holdings in this part of the state since the liquidation of the old A. T. ranch which extended for twenty-five miles down the Beaver. John Widman and family, with a silver-tinted house on wheels at tached to their car, are joining Mrs. Widman’s parents, the Remingtons and others from various points “up north” in the land of promise “way down in old Texas.” Their sale last week was attended by all the neighbors and buyers from far and near. Things sold at a good price and it kept Auctioneer Cooper on the hump ’til nearly night to sell the large amount of property, after which he boarded an airplane for Winner to help out at a sale up there. Among the stock was ten head of good milk cows which brot from $45 to $61. Horses sold up to $160 or a little more for the best —and there were some good ones.
