daughter of the late and great T. R.
has her picture in a cigarette ad.
Mrs. Plank, after dismissing
school Friday, drove to her home
Elgin to spend Saturday and
".Sunday.
John Baker and son Alva and

If it comes to a show down, will
we demand government by law or
submit to the arbitrary edicts of
personal will ?

Cap Addison got across from
central Swan to Amelia Friday, one
of the first from that far discon
nection with a highway to drive
thru this way.
Mr. and Mrs. Snelson were
among those to get out of several
weeks’ hibernation and pull into
Amelia Sunday from their home
northwest of the lake.
The president’s bill to increase
the number of justices of the court
of last resort is a little suspicious,
to say the least. The cartoonists
are having some fun with it.

The old time lodge organizer has
disappeared under the dust and
ruin, along with other picturesque
but forgotten functionaries of a
glamorous and romantic past.
The moratorium assumes there
are no rights only those of the
fellow in debt. It must not be ex
. pected law makers would escape in
7 a world gone non compos mentis.
The supreme court being thus
singled out, the inference is the
president is not concerned on
grounds of senility only in that
particular branch of government.
Raymond Bly spent an hour
talking over the vicisitudes of a
hard winter with the writer of the
Breezes Friday as he stopped for a
visit on the return trip home from
tho school house.
Mrs. D. L. Withers and family
enjoyed a visit Sunday from her
father, M. McCarthy, and sister,
Miss Margaret McCarthy, of Inez,
who came over this way after at
tending church at Amelia.
The producer gets from $5 to
$10 per 1000 for coconuts; the re
tailer gets $100 if he sells a thous
and. Beef producers are getting
» ibout a nickel in the sale ring and
pays 20 cents up town for a pound
of steak.
Forty-three persons have per
ished the past two months in an
epidemic of airplane crashes in the
far west. Life is less secure than
in the hectic days when booted
citizens had a pair of sixes strap
t ped on them.
There was to have been a Val
entine party Monday—main fea
ture shoveling snow—on the town
ship line south of the Berry school
house, but another slump in tem
perature wafted from the Arctic
kept the host and guests at home.
Rev. Marion Holbert of Emmet,
expected to meet her congregation
in Amelia Sunday but the congre
gation did not arrive. Meetings
have not been regular owing to im
passible roads and but few learned
that there was to be a meeting in
time to make preparations to at
tend.
George Cuttler was the first to
go thru with a car going east to
Amelia when the “tunnels” were
shoveled out Friday and he got
stalled at one point by sliding off
the grade and a team had to be
brought into service to pull the car
out. Mr. Cuttler, accompanied by
Maurice Kennedy, then proceeded
to Amelia, returning with his
daughter who attends school there.
f A crew of men Friday shoveled
out the mail road east of this
corner and north to the bridge,
completing the work begun the
previous day to open this road to
highway 11, The heavy labor was
lightened and a touch of social
pleasure added in midafternoon by
a thoughtful act a little earlier in
the kitchen at the Riley ranch.
. Mrs. Riley and her daughter, Mrs.
" Tom Baker, prepared a kettle of
hot coffee and a heaping pan of
life-sized doughnuts which Mrs.
Baker brought out in her car to the
men. After being thus regaled a
preceptible increase in flying lumps
of snow was noticed down thru the
ever lengthening tunnel as the men
bent their backs to the shovels.
There is much to be done—by
shovels or sunshine—on the north
road before the Atkinson mail
carrier can get thru. The rev
ered statutes of Nebraska make it
mandatory that the road bosses and
county supervisors keep mail roads
open. Most of the blockades on
mail roads down here could be
avoided by installing a few hun
dred rods of snow fence each fall.
