SHIELDS
The annual celebration of St.
Patrick’s day was held on Thurs
day evening, March 17, 1938, at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ed
Steskal. This is also the anniver
sary of Mrs. Steskal, also Peter
Farewell, so we had one grand
whoopee. Last year’s six button
roast turkey feast was auspicious
and successful and gave credit to
the ranking cooks in this section.
They decided to repeat and even
excell, if possible, their initial tri
umph by substituting roast oys
ters in many styles. Other good
things to eat and plenty of re
freshments insured a feast of su
preme enjoyment for the men and
ladies who attended.
Everything on the menu was
prepared with tthe thought of
contributing to the St. Patrick
feast that would stir up pleasant
memories of the past. Everyone
appreciated the splendid work done
by the committee in charge, that
planned the feast, and arranged
the program.
The forepart of the evening sev
eral tables were arranged for those
that indulged in card games. Muriel
Murphy and Jim Earley out classed

all the other contestants in this
form of amusement and they were
instrumental in breaking ties in
the finals.
Buffett supper was at the usual
hour and included almost every
thing on the calander of eats.
When a short intermission was held
prior to the program, Dennis
Murphy, a great historian, was in
troduced and gave an elegant in
sight on the theme of the tragic
death of Robert Emmet. He said
Robert w?as bom March 4, ’78 and
was 20 years of age at the time of
the rebellion of '98, of which his
brother, Thomas A. Emmet was one
of the leaders. While Robert was
a student at Trinity College, Dub
lin, he incurred the displeasure of
the faculty by delivering a speech
in defense of the rights of his
native land. Threatened with ex
pulsion he resigned. Thereafter
he toured the continent of Europe
and conferred with many revolu
tionary leaders, especially Napo
lean Bonaparte, who had promised
Thomas a strong expeditionary
force to aid Ireland in the uprising
but proved faithless to the promise
and forgot about the 420,000 Irish
men that died fighting for France
shortly before.
Robert continued his plans based
on revolutionary societies. He was
the chief organizer in Ireland. The
castle learned he was one of the
conspirators and he was arrested
and charged with treason. Emmet
was tried before a court of three
judges and a jury. He was con
victed and was executed in the
public street. After having been
hanged he was beheaded and his
head held up’’by the executioner
who declared this is the head of a
traitor.
Ireland has fought all other bat
tles successfully but her own. Even
in modern times she has furnished
more than her quota in the South
African war. Suffered 700 years
of continuous prosecution and pri
vation. Ruled over, given false
promises, pasted on the head and
danced to the crack of the driver’s
whip. This proves that the people
will never submit to any dictator
ship and today Ireland, under the
courageous management of DeVa
leria has a free and united govern
ment in the south of Ireland. St.
Patrick sowed thd seed that nour
ished the faithful decendents down
until the dawn of the new Ireland
when Robert Emmet’s epitaph will
be written. E. O. E.
Notes From Agricultural
Agent’s Office
The first group of 1937 Agricul
tural Conservation checks, totaling
approximately $(12,000 were re
ceived on March 14, and are now
being distributed.' A large trans
mittal of applications was received
this week and are being mailed out
for signature. It is expected that
in a very short time all the ap
plications will be received from
Lincoln, and they will be mailed
without delay to the operators. A
second group of checks is expected
in the near future.
The county agricultural conser
vation committee has started the
education meetings for the 1938
program, and will probably finish
the middle of next week. Many
farmers have asked whether or not
the program is compulsory and
whether there will be contracts to
sign in 1938. There will be no con
tracts for the farmer to sign, but
later on th^re will probably be ap
plications for participation, which
will have to be executed by the
operator as was done in the 1936
and 1937. The program is not
compulsory and the adjustment of
acreages and the adoption of soil
building practices are entirely vol
untary on the part of the farmer.
To meet the provisions under
which benefit payment can be made
in 1938, a Holt county farmer will
adjust his acreage of common grain
crops, which are called soil-deplet
ing in this program, to an acreage
established for his farm by com
munity and county committeemen.
These committeemen are farmers
elected by their neighbors to repre
sent them in their county associa
tion. The farmer will also adopt
certain soil building practices for
which he will receive payment rep
resenting approximately 75 per
cent of the total cost of adopting
the practice.
Land taken out of grain crops
can be used for temporary pasture
and for the production of emer
gency forage feed for livestock and
for seedings of legumes or grass.
This land may be summer fallowed
or left idle, providing weeds are
controlled in a manner which is
considered a good farming practice
in the area.
The county committee and office
assistants are now tabluating fig
ures and getting ready to establish
farms goals. It is hoped that at
least a preliminary figure can be
released for each farm by corn
planting time.

Announcing:
‘180,267.00
REDUCTION
IN ELECTRIC RATES!
Residential and Commercial Customers to
Benefit... Lower Rates to Promote Greater
Use of Electricity ... New President and
Rate Plan Announced by Company.
ELECTRICITY NOW CHEAPER
THAN EVER BEFORE!
The Interstate Power Company announces an
annual rate reduction totaling $180,267.00 to
electric customers in the area served by this com
pany. This voluntary reduction in rates applies
to residential and commercial customers ... it
is a step in a program of establishing rates which
will further promote the use of electricity for
lighting, labor saving and convenience appliances
in the homes of our customers.
AVERAGE REDUCTION IS EQUAL
TO MONTH’S FREE SERVICE
The reduction we now offer, applicable to April
billing, is approximately 8% for the average
residential customer. To illustrate the amount
of this saving, the average residential customer
will save enough during the year on the electric
service bill to pay for one month’s electricity.
It will save enougn monthly for some of our cus
tomers to pay the cost of the use of the washing
machine, vacuum cleaner or other applicanes.
The savings to our residential customers through
these reductions will enable them to make better
use of our service and aid them to banish house
hold drugery. We are trying to cooperate with
you to make your home a happier, more comfort
able and more contented place in which to live.
EXPENSES STEADILY MOUNTING
These savings to customers are being made in
spite of steadily mounting expenses. Our taxes
have increased until our annual tax bill is now
more than $600,000.00, an increase of nearly
$70,000.00 over the amount of taxes paid last
year. Other costs have also increased . . . coal
prices, freight rates, and wages are higher, all
of which are considerable items in the Com
pany’s operating expenses.
NEW BOARD OF DIRECTORS . . .
JAMES F. ORR. NEW PRESIDENT
The stockholders of our Company on March 3
elected a Board of Directors of members who
live in the territory we serve. At the same time
Mr. James F. Orr was elected president. He is a
man who has had considerable experience and
who is highly respected in the industry. Among
his first announcements is the rate reduction
which the Company is now making effective.
MAY WE HAVE YOUR COOPERATION?
We hope that you will cooperate with our Com
pany in its policy of being a good citizen of each
community it serves. If you have any sugges
tions, Mr. Orr and the new members of the
Board of Directors will appreciate a visit or a
letter from you. Please help them in their de
termination to give you the finest electric service
at the lowest possible rates.
