SOUTHWEST BREEZES
By Romaine Saunders
George Holcomb is again at home
in Amelia, arriving recently from
the winter’s sojourn in Iowa.
Shearing is now going on gather
ing the wool from a number of
bands of sheep on ranches of the.
southwest.
Remember when the celluloid
cuffs with the horse head buttons
were part of the togs of the village
dandy:
Talking in the U. S. senate of
another depression headed our way.
Didn’t know we were out of the
old one.
George Guttler is having a well
put down on the quarter a mile
west of us which he is pasturing
this season.
Is it the fish, the expanse of
water or other liquid cheer that
interests many of our presidents in
fishing expeditions?
Since and including Abe Lincoln
there have been sixteen individuals
presiding at the White House, three
of whom were democrats.
. - . A
Tom Salem of Amelia and Joe
Daas of Chambers, were over in
South Dakota Sunday to see Mike
Otte, who is reported very ill.
Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Peterson are
having their property at Amelia
improved by the construction of an
inclosed porch on the west and
south.
Light showers Sunday morning
moistened the grass roots and
washed the dust from an atmos
phere that has been behaving rather i
badly of late.
With a local race track back
ground of such notables as Jimmie
Wynn, A1 Heilman, Eddie Tierney
and several others, who would have
thought any O’Neill citizen need
go to Kentucky to see a hoss race.
Mrs. Tom Baker entertains
Thursday the ladies of the P. E. 0.
society of Atkinson, a secret order
which no mere man is supposed to
know anything about. Others of
the family spent the day with a
neighbor.
Mr. and Mrs. Hammer, the enter
prising editors of the Chambers
Sun, spent a pleasant half-hour
with the compiler of the Breezes
Sunday afternoon dividing the ed
ifying discussion on the two great
civilizers of mankind—printing and
agriculture.
Bill Taylor rode thru here Friday
on his way from the Star neighbor
hood westward headed for points in
Rock county, thence to Brownlee.
Stopping for dinner at our abode
we had the privilege of getting
word of friends of other years in
northeast Holt.
The Iowa legislature put skunks
on the protected game list. Ne
braska passes a county officer re
call law, and we haven’t heard
what became of the fellow’s pro
posal to make it unlawful for any
one not holding a Union card with
dues paid to do a day’s work.
The county has been strewn with
a scurrilous literature coming from
a body of religionists which seems
to thinks “the truth” consists in
assailing priest and preacher of
other faiths. To borrow from an
eminent historical character, I do
not believe much that they say but
would defend to the last their right
to say it.
I see my friend Editor Miles of
the Independent intimates to his
readers that he was the victim of
a recent epidemic. As I understand
George, the predominate character
istic did not become recognizable
until the grand climax, when ex
terior evidence multiplied plenti
fully of an over charged interior.
This may not be sans sketchiness
or ambiguity, though I trust the
county’s leading democratic editor
has incurred no abiding impairment
thereby.
The unicameral is excelling all
others in serving up a mess of pot
tage in the form of amendments
to be voted on at the next election.
An amendment is the easiest thing
in the world to put across as about
25 per cent of the voters take the
trouble to find out what it is about.
Among the citizens down here who
denounce the so-called short ballot
as it reposes too much authority
in the hands of the governor and
smacks of the spoils system is that
veteran democrat, Jesse James.

In answer to a question asked by
George Pipal, editor of the Daily
Nebraskan, the university student
newspaper, Governor Cochran de
clares that it would be a mistake
for the University of Nebraska to
restrict its enrollment to meet the
problem of instruction.
Governor Cochran has appointed
members of the new engineers’ and
architects’ board authorized by the
law recently passed by the legisla
ture. The board, which will serve
without pay, is to administer the
registration of architects and en
gineers within Nebraska. The mem
bers appointed are as follows: A.
L. Turner, Omaha enginppr, one
year term; Charles Stipjnbaugh,
Omaha architect, two-year term;
D. L. Erickson, Lincoln engineer,
three-year term; W. T. Steele, Om
aha architect, four-year term, and
