' .. . Over the County SOUTHWEST BREEZES By Romaine Saunders Ray Bly sold three trucks of bales to buyers from Humphrey. John Bower bought a number of cows and heifers from the Riley herd lately. Hall’s moved their cattle by the drovers’ method to their new lo cation a day last week. The victors at the polls last No vember think they have been au thorized to turn the world upside down. Much of the present day agita tion sailing under the banner of reform merely would effect a change. Mr. and Mrs. H. L. James, ac companied by Hugh, spent the Easter season with their daughter arid family at Walthill. The President tells us the Su preme Court is putting into the Constitution words that are not there. Sounds like the argument of a peeved loser in a debate. Lloyd James and DeLance With ers were out from Atkinson Thurs day last, Lloyd having business at the ranch and also at the conserva tion meeting down at the lake store. The town of Mullen is in the center of the sand hills and is proud of it. Well it may be. The least of this agonizing “farm problem” comes from the Nebraska Sand Hills. The ranch recently vacated by Archie Reed, we understand, is to be occupied by two bechelor gentle men from Burwell. There are no eligible young ladies in the immedi ate neighborhood. Advocates of the so-called calen der reform hang their heavy argu ment on the fixed date for Easter. What’s in the way now of designat ing the first Sunday in April as Easter? It would be as near the actual anniversary as the present arrangement. Art Hazelbaker will remain on the ranch he has occupied for the past few years. They had moved out to give possession of the place March 1st but matters have devel oped so the Hazelbakers have moved back in again. H. L. James has searched the far flung landscape for a lost, strayed or stolen rat terrier pup which dis appeared from his place. It was one of two spritly terriers valued at home just about equal with a White Face steer, ^rr Somber coated but joyful throat ed blackbirds have returned and scores of straining throats pour forth a note of cheer as the feather ed songsters perch high in the cot tonwoods. Science places the begin ning of our spring upon a definite date but the little creatures of the wild are endowed with a wisdom not circumscribed dates and do not migrate until nature gives the “hunch.” The New Dealers like to rub it in that they got the electorial vote of all but two states. The popu lar majorities were “not so hot” at that. Their majority was reduced in Holt county from 2386 four years previous to a measly 188 in 1936. And some good substantial neigh borhoods down this way, like Swan, Wyoming and Chambers, went two to one against the New Deal. It is just as well to remember, too, that Mr. Hoover got 58 per cent of the popular vote in 1928. “The wages of sin is death.” One wrong act is not always fraught with the horrifying consequences of the explosion at New London, Texas. One dip by the school board official into the school’s gas supply could have had no serious results but the one opened the way for continued pilfering and whole sale death of innocent victims has shocked the world. And the de ceiving thing of a wrong act is that the one who tapped that school gas line would never have done it could he have forseen the crushing tragedy. Some investigating the “set up” for the 1937 farm program at the meeting last Thursday were not favorably impressed, much of it seemingly obscured in a haze of technical phrasologe about as clear as mud. The compensation to ac crue, particularly as related to the range feature, would not be worth the trouble and expense in rear ranging fencings. Some are sign ing the necessary papers with the thought in mind of forfeiting their right to payment by harvesting the crop if the crop should amount to more than the payment.
