I! ~ * SOUTHWEST BREEZES By Romaine Saunders Mr. and Mrs. Tom Baker expect to make a trip to Albion to at tend to some business Friday. Bernard Kennedy took a 4-year old Hereford bull of pedigreed stock to the Atkinson sale ring Tuesday. The nation’s capitol city has a dentist named Toothman. Our state capitol city has a druggist by the name of Piller. Hard work, wise management A and fruitful seasons will do more for Nebraska farmers than all the laws that can be piled up. Mrs. Fannie Riley, who has been confined to her bed all winter and suffered much from rheumatism, was able to be up a short time Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. Roblyer of Atkin son, were in this neighborhood Tuesday. Mrs. Saunders accom panied them home to help in the arrangements for the meeting of the woman’s club Thursday. In view of his splendid achieve ments in historical research and u other patriotic endeavers, a turn at writing somewhat limping verse is a privilege that will be cheer fully accorded the erudite editor of the Nebraska History Magazine. A few moves have taken place in this jurisdiction this spring. The George Cuttler family have gone to the Chambers community. The Art Doolittle family have located on the P. J. Kennedy ranch and the Hazelbakers now occupy the place formerly occupied by the Doolittles. Mr. and Mrs. H. L. James were out from Atkinson Sunday visiting their son’s family at the ranch, and others of the community. Jesse’s friends were interested to learn he i has filed for supervisor in the At kinson district, which he repre sented on the board a few years ago. A cold rain, preceded by a fluff of snow, visited the southwest Tuesday. The soil is in excellent condition with grass having a good start when overtaken with a freeze but a modified temperature will again encourage a renewed growth. WAN I blKONi* ^ ^HEALTHY CHICKS?

'£ > r V, -w O’NEILL HATCHERY A moderate April blizzard had de veloped by Wednesday morning. A farm publication has done some scouting to ascertain public sentiment as to the cause of “busi ness recession.” Fourteen per cent of the democrats making response attributed it to government re strictions. Eighty-six per cent of this group attaches no responsibil ity to Mr. Roosevelt for “recession,” while 100 per cent of the same group put the whole responsibility for “depression” on Mr. Hoover. Not so bad for a bunch of demo crats. The passing of four months spent in the capitol city find? us back in Holt county. The noise of the city has been replaced by the song of the meadow lark, the sweep of the wind and today the enegry of a storm from the frozen north. The glare of lights on the city’s night life has faded out and stars like “tapers tall” begem the sky. There are compensations, spiritual and material, to be had alike in city and country, but in the latter is found calm restfulness, composure of mind and quiet security hardly possible among the thousands of city dwellers. Whether it works favorably or disasterously it is now a part of the fundamental law of our land. And this is what the National Grange, if correctly quoted, thinks of the voluminous farm bill: “This law will at once and forever spell the crack and doom and destiny for the rich farm lands of the Missis sippi' Valley, now cultivated to wheat and corn, and in the wake of its administrations it will scat ter the production of these commo dities over practically each and every farm in the country. Under this legislation the farmer is asked to sell his birthright for a mess of Federal pottage that he does not even get.” EMMET ITEMS Mr. and Mrs. Ben Bachman and( family visited at the Bob Fox home Sunday evening.
