at Riley’s.
The active apostles of the “share
the wealth” crowd seem pn&^ipal
ly interested in getting theirahare.
4 Tom Baker was the first in this
neighborhood in the field with four
■ horses and a disc. He will sow
wheat.
If wrong, gladly I’ll stand cor
rected. It doth appear this great
America is definitely on the down
grade.
Buying corn at a dollar thirty
five a bushel from the imported
stocks and selling at two bits when
they have a crop gives the Holt
county farmer the opportunity for
some figuring to ascertain where he
| can locate his share of the “in
creased farm income.”
Caught by the candid camera,
with Mrs. So-and-so and Mrs. So
and-so, cigarettes and bottles and
all the trimmings at a winter re
sort night club, an automobile mag
nate learned that his plant faces a
unionization strike. The scene sug
gests effective campaign material
for the agitators to circulate among
the workers.
It is the absent-minded professor
we hear about but that character
istic seems not to belong alone to
the imaginated figures of the fun
makers. A prominent lady of the
rsouthwest decided to send a hat to
town to be cleaned. The hat box
was got out and the package wrap
ped and ready to send. She then
discovered her hat was still hang
ing on the peg.
Three hundred mice less in the
neighborhood helps some. That is
the catch reported made by a little
boy the past few months. Not
^ alone the instinct of the hunter
was involved but the added and
greater interest of a penny a mouse
being paid by dad. Field mice
came to join the house variety last
fall as there was nothing in the
fields for them to feed on. Thus
the house and barn pests were
doubled in numbers and wholesale
killings have resulted.
The venerable judges of the su
preme court are treating indig
nities coming out of official and un
official circles with something of a
fine scorn that adds immeasurably
to the dignity and poise of that
grand old tribunal. It is more than
a gambler’s guess that each one of
the nine have a degree of patriot
ism and genuine concern for the
welfare of the nation comparable
with that at the White House. The
court does not put on the blare and
bombast that appeals to the jazzy
minded but their calm and quiet
v dignity is appealing strongly to a
" large body of citizens.
Mrs. Saunders has word from her
brother, W. E. Meals, a former
O’Neill boy, that he is in New York
City arranging the purchase of the
necessary equipment for mine de
velopment to be carried out by the
company he represents in South
1 \frica and as soon as arrangements
* are complete will sail from the New
York port for the African destina
tion. Will’s home is at San Diego,
Calif., but his work carries him to
far corners of the earth. Frank
Meals, a cousin and also an O'Neill
boy, is at the Brooklyn navy yard.
Frank had an interesting letter in
The Frontier last summer.
Just as he had planned to tear
into the spring work after getting
settled in the old William Carpenter
place, Bernard Kennedy found him
self laid up in bed nursing wounds
and bruises sustained when two
wheels of a hay wagon passed ovar
him. In driving thru a gate dt
Cuttler’s on his way west for a
load of hay he Was caught under
the wagon, a front and hind wheel
both passing over his head and
body. The left leg was injured,
the side of his face skinned and
bruised and frames of his glasses
bent out of shape. He was able to
proceed after the hay which was
loaded for him and then drove home
with the load.
