SOUTHWESTERN
BREEZES
By Rotnaine Saunders
Mr. and Mrs. George Meals of
Atkinson spent an afternoon out
here recently.

Joe Serck of Chambers was over
this wav Monday with his stock
of apices and remedies and fount,
some in need in this neighborhood.
Salesmen are welcome visitors in
the busy hay and harvest season

F. D. R. has the talent to select
a cabinet that hos met with greater
wide spread condemnation than al
others combined. Says one forme

• Deal cabinet officer. “He is about
as fair as Caiapbas, as objective
as a fishwife and as courteous as a
hyena.”
Perhaps after all the New Deai
crop allotment is but a modified
application of the battle cry of
a stary-eyed sister of Kansas fort\
odd years ago when she waived the
banner of populism and called upon
the clod hoppers to raise more
hell and less com.
The 4th is no good in these mod

of our fathers. They greeted the
4th with "100 guns at sunrise.

Triggs stepping it off at the head
of the O’Neill comet band, fire

every body felt that the 4th wa
something more than just anothei
day on the calender.
The “rumble and grumble and!
roar" of tractor? in the hay mea
dow? and grain fields is noisy evi-;
denee that the one busy season ol j
the southwest has swing into full;
stride. Grass is abundant and the
grain fields all the way down to
the Loup are turning out heavy j
crops. Cattle feed to the full in
green pastures and the turkeys j
have an unlimited supply of fresh
grasshoppers. Mulberries are abun
dantse and summer apples are com
ing into use. Sand cherry bushes
hang full of unripe fruit but the,
new potatoes fresh from the gar-;
den are something to rave about ;
And from now until pheasants are;
“ripe” fried chicken will abound *wi
harvest dinner tables.
Uncle Sam was supposed to
have about all the gold stuck away
in subterranen hideouts down in old
• Kentucky. Now it is learned that
a single individual over in myster;
ious India has 800 tons of the yel
low metal in his palace vaults. A
current saying in our youth, “you
are not the only pebble on the
beach,” is still pertinent.
The Holt county grasshopper is
a tough customer. He multiplies
in wet weather, is impervious to
heat and if frozen like a stone
thaws out in the sun winks an evil
eye and hops away. He eats every
thing that grows in field and gar
den, strips young trees of leaves and
bark and grows opulent on poison
bait. He takes refuge in the gras?
but shakes a hind leg at it as
well as the weeds as being fit for
the diet of a hopper. He bores holes
in the earth in which would fit a
round lead pencil and deposits
millions of eggs to propetuate
his kind that the work of destruc
tion may go one from season to sea

The engraver’s art, the press
man’s skill in combining colors and
the master of surperlatives in writ
ing the ballyhoo for those seed
catalogues intrigued the lady of
the house early in the spring to go
into flower gardening. She had
my moral support but very little
practical help. The beds were well
planned, seeds planted and all that
Watering and cultivating went on,
through the weeks and now in the
hot July days a touch of color
in floral bloom shows here and
there but the flower is a pitiful:
contrast to the gorgeous thing the
catalogue promised. Much ol
human effort is crowned with but
mockery of nature. From Mid
May until late June the deep blue
bloom of the prairie iris and the
fragrances of the wild rose greet-,
ed us every where, while for sheer
beauty the creamy flower looking

November. His daughters, Mrs
Maxwell, of San Diego, and Mrs.
Smith, of Chambers, were both pre
sent at the funeral. Joseph Sher
man Ennis was born at Martinsville
Indianna, on July 29, 1872. the son
of Emery Etonis and Dorcas Perry*
His people were of southern extrac
tion, his father a Kentuckian and
his mother a native Virginian
Sherm moved to Iowa in 1890 and
from there he moved to Thurston
county, Nebr. He moved to Atkin
son in 1908 and lived there until
1916 when he moved to O’Neili
where he resided up to the time of
his death, on July 2,1941. at the age
of 68 years, eleven months and two
days, after a short illness. He wa*
united in marriage to Sarah
Lavinia Eveland in Monona
county, Iowa, on April 29
1893. Five children were born
of this union, two sons and three
daughters. They are: Emmery II.
of South Bend, Ind.,; Mrs. Millie

California; Mrs. Lorraine H. Smith
of Chambers, Nebr. He also leaves
to mourn his passing a sister, Mrs.
Thompson, of Morgantown. Ind

Sherm was a good citizen and al- i
ways attended to his own affairs
After moving to O’Neill he was em
ployed several years in a lumbet
yard here. He made one entry into
politics, being the republican can
didate for sheriff in the early twen
ties but failed at the election. Aftei
that campaign he purchased a shoe
repair shop and conduced that busi
ness up to the date of his death.
He was a member of the Odd Fel
lows Lodge and had held all the
local offices in that organization
In 1918 he joined the Methodist I
church and had been a faithful
member from that date to the time
of his death. f -
Senator Butler Has Three
Appointments To Naval
Academy
Senator Hugh Butler announced
today that he had received word
from the Navy Department that he
will have three appointments to
make from the State of Nebraska
to the Naval Academy at Annapolis
in 1942. This increased number
of appointments at this time is a
result of the speeded up program
of training recently adopted at the
academy.
Senator Butler will give competi
tive examinations under the aus
pices of the Civil Service Commis
sion on October 4, 1941, for these
appointments. He requests that al!
applicants have their inteniton to
compete for these appointments fil
ed in his Washington office by the
twenty-fifth of September.
Our Governor Is
Back Home
Governor Griswold returned last
Tuesday from a trip to the east,
during which visit he attended the
national convention of governors
and also visited in Washington
D. C., and other points of interest
in the east. It is expected that
within a short time he will appoint
a district Judge for this district
bo fill the vacancy caused by the
death of Judge Robert R. Dickson.
It is expected that the new district
judge will be Attorney D. R.
Mounts, of Atkinson.
It is said that the average Amer
ican home being built has decreased
by one room since 1926. But the
decrease in cost of building is not
visible.
up from the thorny bed of cactus
like a thing done in delicate wax
is rarely surpassed. Nature’s ador
nments are not limited to the floral
bloom at our feet. The transcend
ing beauty of a prairie sunset in
July holds a captivating charm.
For a moment the great golden ball
rests in the hollow between two
distant hills and is gone. The sky
aglow like burnished brass fades to
deeper shades as the moments pass
and an hour later the evening star
sets like a jewel on the sunset after
glow. In the darkening sky to the
southeast a full moon rides above
the tree tops, now at rest in the
evening calm. Seed catalogues
may fail us but our beloved prairie t
holds a perpetual charm.
Prices Strong At Last
Monday’s Local Market
Strong prices prevailed at Mon
day's Livestock Auction. Las;
Monday's receipts of livestock met
with stronger prices on practically
all classes at the regular local live
stock auction. Due to activity in
the harvest fields, not quite a*
large receipts were here, but sup
plies found a ready outlet and de
mand was brisk.
Good steer calves paid an ex- {
treme top of $12.00 with the bulk
of this class ranging from $10.50
to $11.50. Heifer calves .were
rather scarce.
One small package of choice;
lightweight yearlings sold at $12.05
with the lor*? end cashing @ $9.50
to $11.50. A few lightweight year-]
ling heifers sold upwards to $10.00.
Howarer the bulk of these sold
mostly from $9.00 to $9.50.
The quality of the cow offering
was not too good. The best kind
brought $7.50 with plainer kinds
paying $6.50 to $7.00. Bulls were
in light supply. The hog run was
light, but those on sale shared the
general upswing in prices. Top
butchers paid $10.60 with $10.55
claiming the long end. Sows sold
mostly at $9.85. Not enough pigs
were here to establish a price.
About a dozen horses and mules
completed the day's offering.
The next regular auction will be
held on Monday July 14th.

Our “Expert” Columnists
When the war between Hitler and
Stalin, the two European despots
started there was considerable dis- (
cussion as to who would be the
winner. The Gentians since have
claimed to have made considerable
gains while the Russians said that,
their unexpectedly stiff resistance
had put the Nazi behind schedule, j
Of course nobody knows at this I
writing just how the Russo-German
war will eventually turn out. But!
there is one intangible thing which
seems to favor Joe Stalin. W'hen
the war started most of the so-call
ed military' “experts’’ and colum
nists held that Hitler would wi^
in a few weeks. Now in previous1
predictions these so-called colum
nists-experts have been about IOC
per cent wrong. Therefore then
prediction of a Hitler victory, in
the light of past results, would
seem to indicate that Stalin would
win. Let’s look at the records for
a moment;
When Hitler invaded Poland it
was the opinion of the experts that
the Poles would hold the Nazis ofl
until the rains came, when the Ger
man tanks would be mired in mud
and the British and French would
finish them on the western front
When the Germans invaded Nor
way it was declared the Nazis could
not possibly bold the Scandinavian
peninsula when it had no fleet
to compare with Great Britain’s
Hitler’s invasion of Norway was
said to have been as big a mistake
as Napoleon’s campaign in Spain !
When the Nazis invaded the Low,
Countries it was predicted that the
Dutch would drown many by open
ing the dykes, and that the Dutch
Belgians, French and British would
finish them off.
It was predicted that it would
cost 2,000,000 men to pierce tht
Maginot Line and then it was'
doubtful whether it could be done I
even at so great a sacrifice.
When the Balkan campaign start
ed it was predicted the Serbs would
retire to the mountains and hold;
the Germans off until winter by j
which time they would be practic-!
ally exhausted.
In all of these predictions the
experts were wrong. Now when
they predicted that Hitler will fin
ish Stalin off in from four to six
weeks they may just be continuing
their record as prophets. If they
run true to form this campaign
might easily be the finish of HitleT.
At any rate, having the experts j
predict his army and material are
no good, and he can’t win, is a big
break for Joe.
O’Neill Coimnercial Club
Regular Meeting
Tuesday Evening
The regular meeting of the
O'Neill Commercial Club was held
at the Goklen Hotel last Tuesday
evening and was fairly well attend
ed. The Club decided at this meet-j
ing to sponsor the annual Calf
show and sale to be held here later
in the fall and the President was
authorized to appoint a committee
to have charge of this event. Com
mittees are working on the annual
free day celebration, which will
be held this year on August 13 and
members of the Committees are
looking forward to having the larg
est celebration ever held in this
section of the state. Place the
date, August 13, in your calendar
and be sure to come to O’Neill on
that day and be a guest of the busi
ness men of O’Neill.
Are We Prepared?
The principal argument of the
war interventionists that now is
the time to get into the contest
while Great Britian is still “hot” so
to speak. One thing which they fail
to discuss is whether or not the
United States is prepared for war
at this time No wonder they do
not discuss that question because
the weight of the evidence seems
against them.
We all remember that Poland,
France and Great Britian were not
ready for war when they plunged
W’hat has happened since has not
been exactly pleasant reading
There is no admission here or else
where that Hitler could do to us
what he did to France, Poland and
Yugoslavia. Certainly if he can
not cross the English channel to
attack Great Britian in force he
would find it difficult to get into;
the United States. Bu this does
not gainsay the fact that it is un
wise to get into war until one is
prepared. That we are not pre
pared, even for a defensive war, is
evidenced by tfeg fact that Uncle
Sam plans to spend something like
$15,000,000,000 for defense alone
in this fiscal year.
We believe that our army and
our navy, man to man and ship to
ship, are the finest in the world.
But this does not mean that we
are prepared for a long war at this
time. Let us quote a few para
graphs from the Washington
Daily News:
“ ‘Before we fight, face the facts.’
Well the week-end turned up an
eloquent array of facts concerning
both the state of the army and the
state of the whole defense adminis
tration.
“Liaut. Gen. Ben Lear, analyzing
a month’s maneuvers in Tennessee
by the Second Army, commented
that unless the performance of
commanding officers is improved,
‘disastrous embarrassments and
failures will be encountered during
battle.’
He said cases were found where
srergents, corporals and privates in
great numbers did not know the
nature and details of the exercises
being conducted.’ And this, he
emphasized, “is not the fault of
the soldier. It is the fault of the
officers above him, and it must be
corrected.’
“This judgment was elaborated
by Hansen Baldwin, military cor
respondent of the New York Times,
who said high army officers were
of the opinion—
“That not one American divis
ion is ready for war;
“That the army’s conception of
modern tactics is ‘primitive’;
“That there are grave deficiencies
in equipment, in training and tac
tics and leadership, and to a lesser
extent in discline and morale.”
The report of the House Com
mittee on Military Affairs regard
ing our progress for defense
building is no more encouraging.
Let us not forget the old axiom
that the time to prepare for war
is in the time of peace. This is
the time of peace so far as
we are concerned and we are pre
paring for defensive war which
we hope will never occur. Let us
continue to keep it a time of peace
so that we may all the better pre
pare for war.
Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Kruse of
Sherton, Iowa, visited here at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. H. G. Kruse
while on their way home from
Glacier National Park, over the
week end. They left on Sunday
for their home, taking with them
Miss Patsy Kruse and Miss Betty
Jane Ernst to Swea City, Iowa
where the two girls will spend the
next ten days or two weeks, visit

Anna Dahl.
