SOUTHWESTERN
BREEZES
By Rontaln* Saunders
I have ever been aware of the
fact that my penmanship was bad.
but not aware of it being so diffi
cult to decipher that an old timer
like D. H. would make “valuable ’
out of the word “venerable."
A big strike of trainmen hang
ing over them, citizens up in arms
to retain trains on short stretches
of railroads that arc operated at a
loss, the **brass collars” are not
having a rosey time jusst uow.
Alluring ads that would have
^ you believe cigarettes and beer
are the gifts of the gods take the
place of these sure-fire remedies—
St. Jacob's Oil, Scott’s Emulsion,
Perruna and Doc Corrigan s stock
of Chamuerlain’s Cough Kemedy.
Ladies better stick to their old
winter coat unless they are pre
pared to pay 10 per cent tax ad
ded to the price of a new one.
The household dictionary gives
Neb. as the abbreviation of Ne
braska. When used as a com
mon noun the word neb refers to
a bird’s beak. In a plant at Lin
coln I handled the printing jobs
of an Omaha lawyer who was just
about ready to send the printer to
the penitentary who struck an r
on our state abreviation in any of
his work.
Bill Pettis, one time a resident,
in the east section of the countj.
was supposed to have established
a record for gluttony. At a con
test in Page he is said to have
consumed something like twenty
quarts of oysters, and I think the
true record of Bill’s achievement
would out-class the chap down at
Burwell who ate 77 pancakes in
. eight minutes, his son coming in
* second with a record of 74 in
fifteen minutes. At current cafe
breakfast rates these two Burwell
gormands consumed $7.55 worth
of pancakes. It was Easter morn
ing on the big prairie of Wheeler
county that I met a neighbor who
greeted me with the query as to
how many eggs I had eaten. I
told him none, whereupon he an
nounced. “Well, I ate 18 and my
wife 16.’’ The last I knew he was
still alive.
Champions come with a flash
and within a brief day they are
forgotten. It is not the blue
bloods at national shows that in
any sense represent the old herds
on farms and ranches that supply
the household demands of Ameri
ca. It is not the one out of a
million who has made a life study
of how to get an ear of corn into a
wagon box faster than his neigh
bor who will gather the eighty
odd million bushels in the corn
belt. The champion has shown
what he can do and has his re
ward. But I think of the men,
alone—no curious crowds to en
courage, who who are out at break
of day on cold, wind swept morn
ings rattling across the hard earth
^ in a wagon to cornfields, working
on till nightfall gathering the
fruits of a hard summer’s labors
that wives and little ones of our
humble farm homes may be pro
vided for. It is these men that
have the herioc mold and are the
true representatives of American
farms.
Charley Meals, retired lieuten
ant colonel, an O’Neill boy who
won his spurs at West Point mili
tary Academy and served over
seas with Pershing’s army, tells
an incident of the No. 1 World
War which illustrates that any
thing can happen at the battle
front. Col. Meals promoted a lieu
tenant to that of Captain on the
9th of September, on the 10th he
was shot down a few feet from
Charley, on the 11th armistice
was announced. For the second
time in this generation Europe has
become a lazar house. Denials
of responsibility re futjje in the
face of the fact that one man,
then as now. must answer at the
bar of final reckoning for the
lives of millions of the people of a
continent. Two of the ancients,
occording to Homer, wearied of
slaughter, settled it this way:
Enough of Trojans to this lance
shall yield.
In the full harvest of yon ample
field—
Enough of Greeks shall dye they
spear with gore.
But thou and Diomed be foes no
g more.

Montana Jack Sullivan
And Phil In Auto Accident
The sturdy left arm of Montana
Jack Sullivan that stood off the at-;
tack of the famous Stanley Ket
chell in a prize fight just couldn’t
cope with the brutal attack brot
on by a careening automobile in
New Mexico several days ago,
Montana Jack suffered four
fractures in his arm when hit by
the steering wheel of his car ten
miles out of Albuquerque.
The famous Montana puglist
was traveling through New Mexi- j
co with his brother, Phil, October
12, when their car struck a loose
joint in the paving. The steering
wheel jerked out of control smash
ing the left arm of Jack, who was
driving. The automobile careen- i
ed out of control and turned over.
Phil suffered a severe head ab
raison, and the car was said to
have been demolished.
Both men were rushd to a hos
pital in Albuquerque, where they
were admitted as patients. They
remained in the New Mexico hos
pital for 13 days before attempting
to return to Butte.
Tuesday the two returned home, j
Montana Jack to another seige of
hospitalization. His arm, doctors
said, had not been set properly.
So Wednesday Montana Jack
went under ether to get the arm
that whipped Fireman Jim Flynn.
California Joe Thomas, Sailor
Burke and scores of other pugilists i

Hospital attendants said his con-1
dition Wednesday night was

LIVESTOCK PRICES
STEADY TO WEAK
The peak of the seasonable
cattle movement appears to have
been reached with last Monday’s
receipts running a little lighter
than a week ago, at the local
livestock market. The quality of,
the offering was only fair to good
with no really choice stuff on
sale. Prices on the better grades
held about steady with last week,
but the plainer quality cattle,
of wihch there was a considerable
number, sold a little cheaper.
Calf receipts were lighter last
Monday and no really choice
calves showed up. The toppiest
oackage of steer calves ranged up
$12.10 and these weighed around
300 pounds. Bulk of the steer
calves paid from $10 50 to $11.50.
The top short-load of heifer calves
cashed at $10.60, with the long
end of the heifers selling from
$9 00 to $10.50, depending on
weight and quality.
Yearlings were here in good
supply and prices were about
steady. The bulk of the yearling
steers turned at $9.00 to $10.00.
Those of heavier weight sold for
less.
In the cow division, receipts
were again heavy. The quality of
the offering was not the best, and
this fact considered, the prices
looked about steady tho the un
dertone was on the weak side. The
best fat cows sold around $7.50
with a few heiferettes reaching
unwards to $7.75. The latter were
scarce. Bulk of the feeding cows
drew from $5.50 to $6.50. Bulls
placed from $6.50 to $7.50:
An extreme top of $9.85 was
paid for choice butcher hogs and
a considerable number of this
quality was here However the
practical price on butchers weigh
ing around 225 pounds was $9.75
to $9.80. Sows sold mostly from
$9 30 to $9.45. Feeders were rather
limited in suooly and paid from
$11.00 to $11.10.
About 50 sheep and 12 horses
and mules completed the day’s
offering.
The next regular auction will
be held on Monday, November 17.

O'NEILL HIGH
WINS FROM NELIGH
A goal-splitting convention by
Gene McKenna provided the mar
gin of victory as the O’Neill Eagles
downed Nclighs Warriors, 7-6
on Armistice Day at O'Neill.
There was no score at the half
but a last half packed with action
saw the Eagles take advantage of
a fumble to drive deep into enemy
territory, only to lose the ball on
downs after Warren Burgess had
advanced the ball to the Neligh
five-yard line Neligh kicked out
of danger to their 35. From there
the O’Neill attack was not to be
denied, with Fullback Calkins
carrying, it to the four. Burgess
scored on a fast end sweep. Mc
Kenna, benched with a bad knee,
bad been saved for just such an
emergency. The conversion was
good making the score 7 to 0.
The points loomed larger and
larger as the fourth quarter wore
on. Then Nelight, operating from
its customary “T" formation, ex
ecuted a fast sneak play and Cen
ter Broberg sped througr dazed
O'Neill’s defenders to go some 40
yards for a touchdown. On the
crucial try for point, Hackendarf/s
plunge was stopped by Wyant ami
Wetzler, left side of the Eagle’s
line.
The game was marred by many
peal ties Action was held up at
one time when both teams claimed
possession on O’Neill’s disputed
pass completion.
O’Neill's starting linup includ
ed: Wetzler and Lewis; Ends;
Wyant and Ridgway, Tackles;
Wolfe and Oberle, Guards; Van
Every. Center; Burgess, Manzer.
