O’NEILL CITIZENS
* DONATE $166.80 FOR
OHIO FLOOD RELIEF
Recent Telegram From Red Cross
Indicates More Money Must
Be Raised In County.
The latter part of last week Dr.
L. A. Carter, chairman of the Holt
County Chapter of the American
Red Cross, received a request for
funds for use of the flood refugees
in the Ohio river valley. The orig
inal quota for the county was set
at $75.00.
Monday morning George H.
Jones went around the city and
succeeded in raising $148.45, nearly
double the quota allotted to this
county. In his canvassing of the
city there were several who he was
unable to see and anyone desiring
to contribute to this fund can do
so by giving you offering to the
president of the Holt county chap
ter, Dr. L. A. Carter, or to the
secretary, Mrs. Harold Lindberg, or
to F. N. Cronin, treasurer, at the
O’Neill National bank. Additional
contributions handed Red Cross of
ficers since Monday, brings the
total raised in this city to $166.80.
Following is a list of those al
ready contributing to this worthy
cause and the amount of the dona
tion.

Wednesday Dr. Carter received
the following telegram from the
Red Cross:
“Flood suffering has already
reached unprecedented proportions
with relief needs steadily mounting.
Under these conditions impossible
now name final goal for funds only
limit Red Cross assistance must be
miximum generosity American
people. Every possible member
national Red Cross staff now as
signed to field for relief duty. I
call upon all chapters to assume
full initiative their respective jur
isdictions and mobilize every com
munity resource of personnel or
ganization to raise promptly larg
est possible amount. Report daily i
amount raised. For your informa
tion in view present known needs
your goal should be not less than
five times quota originally assign
ed you.”—Cary T. Grayson.
From the above telegram it will
be seen that the quota now set for
fhis county is $375 and less than
half that amount has been raised
in this city. Other towns in the
county are also undoubtedly rais
ing funds for this cause and the
county should have little difficulty
in exceeding the quota assigned.
Range and Pasture Will
Have A Part In the Soil
Conservation Program
This year the range cattle and
sheep men have an opportunity to
participate in the agricultural con
servation program.
The grazing or carrying capacity
of each ranch unit determines the
allowance for each farm. A unit
is the number of acres to keep one
cow or one horse for twelve months.
The carrying capacity is establish
ed by the local committees for
each farm or ranch. The county
grazing capacity limit, which
means an average grazing capacity
for the county, is set up for each
county by the state committee.
The individual grazing or carry
ing capacity is multiplied by $1.50
to get at the maximum allowance.
Information received this week is
to the effect that probably a county
average for Holt county of from
eighteen to twenty acres of range
for each animal unit will be used.
For example, a ranch having 2,000
acres of range or pasture would
have a carrying capacity of 100
animal units and an allowance of
$1.50 by using the figures of 20
acres per animal unit. One-half
of this amotmt may be earned by
non-grazing or resting 500 acres
between May 1 and Oct. 1. The
remainder may be earned by plant
ing trees on the ranch at the rate
of $10 per acre, showing 200 live
seedlings or trees per acre this
fall. If desirable, all of the pay
ment may be earned by planting
trees.
Another practice to earn the
benefit payment in which some are
interested is the building of dams
or reservoirs. For this the pay
rate is 15 cents per cubic yard of
fill, provided spillways are made
adequate to prevent dams from
washing out under normal rainfall.
Loses Finger In
Generator Fan
F. B. Torbert, of Norfolk, owner
of the Torbert Coal company, lost
a part of two fingers on his left
hand about 4 o’clock last Monday
afternoon when his hand came in
contact with a fan on a generator.
He was taken to a hospital where
his middle finger and ring finger
were amputated at the second joint.
He returned home Tuesday.—Nor
folk news.
Fred Torbert was for many years
a resident of this county, living in
the Dorsey neighborhood. Fred
has many friends in that section
of the county who will regret to
learn of his misfortune.
Lions Club Meeting
The O’Neill Lions club met on
Monday evening for their regular
meeting in the Golden hotel dining
room. There was a large attend
ance and a very interesting meet
ing was conducted. The Misses
Pegffy Cambre, Mary Jannette
Kubitschek and Ruth Harris sang
two songs and Connie and Helen
Kubitschek gave a tap dance. Both
numbers were very good and en
joyed by everyone present. The
members voluntarily donated $6.75
to Red Cross for flood relief. Names
of six new members were sent to
the International and before long
the club will be proceeding under
full steam.
City Hall Will Be
Built At Valentine
The citizens of Valentine, at a
special election held last Tuesday,
voted to issue bonds in the amount
of $10,900 to help finance the con
struction of a new city hall. The
vote on the bonds was 295 for and
50 against. The plans called for
the erectiqn of a $19,000 building
the remainder to be financed by a
WPA grant.
Charles Grale Deemer and Miss
Katherine Kamold, both of Atkin
son, were granted a marriage lie-1
ense in county court last Saturday.'
LAST RITES HERE
SATURDAY FOR
M. I). PRITCHETT
—
Seventy-Five Year old Resident
lljos of Heart Trouble. Burial
In Calvary Cemetery.
Marion D. Pritchett died at his
farm home northeast of this city
last Thursday evening after an ill
ness of several months of heart

in this city last Saturday morning
at 9 o’clock, Rev. Peter F. Burke
officiating and burial in Calvary

The family lived in Iowa for many
years and on Jan. 10, 1899, he was
united in marriage to Miss Bertha
Foran at Sioux City, Iowa. Six

Although a comparative new comer
in this county he made many
friends here who will learn with
regret of his passing.

Introduces Bill for
A Short Ballot
John N. Norton of Polk, intro
duced Friday the first short ballot
bill to come before the unicameral
legislature. It would leave Ne
braska with only two political of
ficials—governor and lieutenant
governor.
Only two other officials would be
elected under Norton’s plan, a com
ptroller, who would assume the
state auditor’s duties, and the state
superintendent of public instruc
tion. The office of auditor would
be abolished.
Proposing the terms of a consti
tutional amendment for submission
to voters at the 1938 general elec
tion Norton presented a compan
ion measure to make the three
state railway commissioners elec
tive on a non-political pallot. The
plan controverted Gov. R. L. Coch
ran’s recommendation to make
them appointive.
State officials who would be ap
pointed by the governor under the
Polk senator’s measure are: the
attorney general, tax commissioner,
secretary of state and treasurer.
Like the elective officials, all would
serve four-year terms.
Taking the bit in his teeth de
spite a pending supreme court rul
ing on the status of the state land
commissioner’s office, Norton pro
posed the office be formally ab
olished on “the first Thursday after
the first Tuesday of January, 1939.”
He would have the state super
intendent of public instruction take
the land commissioner’s place on
the state board of educational
lands and funds, in accordance with
a suggestion by Gov. Cochran.
If adopted voters would mark
their choices for candidates at least
thirty years of age and state resid
ents five years before election. The
first election, if the amendment
passes in 1938, would be in 1940,
with officials serving until 1942.
After that, the terms would be for
the full four years.
Salaries he proposed would be:
Governor, $15,000 a biennium.
Lieutenant governor, twice a leg
islator’s salary, or $3,488.
Comptroller, $7,500.
All would be subject to recall
and the measure sets forth recall
provisions. Much of the bill, which
became LB 00, is amendatory,
changing details of previous sta
tutes. The companion measure to
put the railway commissioners on
a nonpartisan basis, is LB 61.
Certified Seed
L;st Published
Nebraska’s 1937 certified seed
directory is now ofT the press and
Holt county farmers can secure
copies from the county farm bureau
office. Included in the list are the
names of producers offering super
ior varieties of barley, sorghums,
alfalfa and hybrid corn for sale.
In view of present conditions, a
greater interest than ever before is
expected to be manifest in certi
fied seed this year. Farmers would
do well, agriculturs l agent F. M.
Reece says, to consider buying cer
tified seed this year in view of the
supply situation. In many cases
their own s^ed stocks have been
lost during the extremely dry seas
ons and as a result they will be
forced to look elsewhere for seed
this spring.
Win. Spangler Dies
At His Farm Home
Near Clearwater
William Spangler, a prominent
and well-known farmer living
southwest of Clearwater, died at
his home Tuesday afternoon after
two hours illness. He is survived
by his wife and several so^is and
daughters. The funeral was held
last Saturday afternoon.
Mr. Spangler was a former resid
ent of this county living for many
years in the Meek neighborhood,
where he was well known by the
old timers in that section. He was
a brother of Charles and Await
Spengler and Mrs. Smith Merrill
of this city who all attended the
funeral last Saturday.
Cardinals Lose To
Spalding Academy
Spalding Academy basketball
team defeated St. Mary’s Cardinals
on the Academy gym floor last
Sunday afternoon with a score of
22 to 11. The second teams of the
schools played and St. Mary’s won
with a score of 22 to 7.
Sunday evening after the game
the members of the Spalding team
started for home. They managed
to get out about five miles when
they had to turn around and come
back, the roads being badly drifted.
They remained in O’Neill that night
and were able to start for home
Monday afternoon.
Cold Weather Has
Lasted A Month
So far the month of January has
given us real winter weather. There
has been no snow this past week,
but heavy winds last Sunday after
noon for a time blocked the high
ways leading into and out of this
city. The highway maintenance
crew got busy the first of the week
and the east and west roads were
open before noon. The north and
south roads were also opened that
day and now all the main highways
leading into the city are open.
Farmers from the eountry tell us
that east and west roads are im
possible to travel. A few farmers
have been in the city the forepart
| of the week and those that came
in were compelled to shovel their
way thru drifts until they reached
the highway. A few bob sleds
have made their appearance, re
minding the old timers of the
eighties and early nineties, when
they were common on the strets
and roads of the county.
Following is the weather chart
for the past week as kept by the
local U. S. Weather Observer,
Harry Bowen:

Law Suit Grows Out of
Auto Collision East of
O’Neill Last Wednesday
During the blizzard Wednesday
of last week automobiles occupied
by L. H. Cox, about 60, Union Pa
cific railway employee of Council
Bluffs, la., and his son E. D. Cox,
about 25, traveling east, and Frank
Allen of Page, traveling west col
lided about three miles east of here.
L. H. Cox suffered head cuts and
his tongue was badly bitten and
he lost considerable blood. His son
suffered bruises and head cuts. Mr.
Allen suffered a wrenched knee and
other body bruises and cuts. The
Coxes received medical attention
here and went on home. Both cars,
one nearly new, were badly dam
aged.
As an aftermath of this collision
Mr. Allen, thru his atorney J. D.
Cronin, brought suit againstMyrtl
Cox, wife of E. S. Cox, E. S. Cox
and L. H. Cox for $10,300, the suit
being filed in district court in this
county.
The petition alleges that E. S.
Cox was operating his automobile
at an excessive speed and operating
it in the center of the highway;
that as his car approached the
automobile driven by the plaintiff,
Frank Allen proceeding west on
said highway, the defendant care
lessly, negligently and wrongfully
failed to slacken speed and care
lessly, negligently and wrongfully
drove his car to the north or left
side of said highway, and to the
side occupied by the plaintiff; that
the collision was wholly caused by
the carelessness and negligence of
the plaintiff.
That as a result of said collision
the defendant was thrown against
the top, side and front of the car,
resulting in a severe shock to his
nervous system and injuring, bruis
ing and lacerating his entire body
and the muscles thereof. That he
received a severe injury to his left
knee and that said injury will be
permanent and causes him intense
pain.
He asks $50 for doctor’s bill;
$260 for his automobile which he
claims was badly wrecked. For
loss of time from his usual accupa
tion and for pain, suffering, dis
comfort and physical injuries the
sum of $10,000.

FUNERAL FOR JOHN
HAYNE HELD LAST
SUNDAY AT PAGE
Resident of This County Nearly M
Years Dies In Sanitarium
At Norfolk, Nebr.
John Albert Hayne died at the
Verges Sanitarium at Norfolk,
Nebr., last Saturday afternoon af
ter an illness of several months, at
the age of 69 years and 6 months.
John Hayne was born at Marsk
altewn, Iowa, on July 22, 1867. Be
fore he reached his majority the
family moved to this county and
located east of this city where they
resided for many years. On Aug-.
14, 1889, John was united in mar
riage in this city to Miss Viola
Smith. Four children were bon*
of this union, two sons and two
daughters, who with their mother
are left to mourn his passing. The
children are: Mrs. Mattie Peter
son, Gordon, Nebr.; Mrs. Leonard
Pierce, Atkinson; Clair Hayne,
Norfolk, and Lee Hayne, New
castle, Wyo. He also leaves four
sisters and three brothers.
The Hayne family were for many
years among the most prominent
farmers and stockmen of this
county. Coming to this county in
the early eighties they endured all
the hardships of the early pioneer*,
labored hard and were fairly suc
cessful. The past few years John
had been in poor health and met
several financial reverses. He was
taken to the Norfolk sanitarium a
couple of weeks ago for medic*!
treatment, but to no avail. He was
a good citizen and had many
friends among the old timers of
the county. The body was shipped
to this city and the funeral wan
held from the M. E. church in Page
last Sunday afternoon, burial in
the Page cemetery.
Cattle and Hogs Are
Steady to Higher On
Atkinson Market
Atkinson, Tuesday, Jan. 26.—
Impassible roads tended to cut
down receipts of both cattle and
hogs and this week’s run was the
smallest since last summer. Ahont
.300 hogs and 100 cattle were sold.
Buyers were more optimistic than a
week ago, bidding more sprited and
the hog market was generally 36 to
60 cents higher than a week ago.
The cfittle market was steady to
strong. Best fat hogs sold at 9.6S
to 9.76, while sows and feeder pigs,
were in better demand at higher
prices.
Scarcely enough cattle were on
sale to warrant the quoting of
prices, but generally speaking the
market looked firm to higher than
a week ago. With improvement in
road conditions the next week, a
splendid offering of all kinds art
livestock is in prospect for Tues
day’s auction.
Snow Covered Ground
Destroys Pheasants
Reports coming from out in the
county indicate that the pheasant
is having a hard pull of it. Snow
covered ground makes it nearly
impossible for the birds to obtain
food, and with the cold, they are
dying off. Dead “chinks” have been
reported from several places in the
county and the condition is prob
ably general.
Farmers for the most part have
n’t sufficient feed grains for their
own use, so they can not be asked
to distribute feed. Sportsmen who
wish to continue the sport of wing
shooting, and who hope for an
open season next fall could help
by distributing grain in areas in
which the birds .are known to be,
if they are accessable.
The ring-neck pheasant is the
main stay for the field shooter in
this territory. Any group of men
who like the sport could band to
gether and purchase feed and dis
tribute it. The pheasant is like
you, if it doesn’t eat it doesn’t live.
GRATTAN PROJECT CLUB
The Grattan Project club met at
the home of Mrs. Albert Miller Jan.
19. A very interesting lesson on
“When we go Shopping,” and a
demonstration on “Testing CanneJ
Goods,” were given by the leader?.
A delicious covered dish luncheon
was served at noon. Nine mem
bers responded to roll call. The
next meeting will be held at the
homo of Mrs. Howard Marcus.
