SOUTHWESTERN
BREEZES_
By Romaine Saunders
Anyway, the Nebraska John
son’s seem to all be Republicans.
Aisa for the Asiatics is all right
with us if they are contented with
that.
Cunning politics embrasses
neither statesmanship, business
ability nor moral worth.
First waste, then want; curtail
ment of production, then ration
l ing; all out agricultural effort—
then what?
Wits are suggesting names for
I* the war. Nothing quite to the
point has appeared on the horizon.
How about M . . . . but that’s a
military secret.
On the old-fashioned schedule
of ten hours work a day some
class of workmen at the Lincoln
defense construction draw $12.50
a day. The payroll of a force of
men at that stipend makes a siz
able hole in the contractor’s bank
roll each week, but Uncle Sam
keeps it replenished.
Gentlemen will not discuss the
ages of ladies. The “touchy” per
iods of the male of the species
are downy youth and venerable
age. But if you get anything from
Uncle Sam he has to know your
age,, weight and color of hair.
“Verily every man at his best
state is altogether vanity.”
This comes out of Fremont: An
old timer, a little hard of hearing,
after a lengthy wait finally lined
up at the registrar’s desk for his
sugar rationing book. “Your
height,” asked the fair one at the
desk. “Five feet 10 inches,” he
replied. “Weight,” came the sec
ond question. “Wait,” the old tim
A er roared, “I’ve waited too darn
long already.”
Again “little business” suffers.
That picturesque individual be
hind a long apron, hammer in one
hand, and in the other and shoe
pegs in his mouth,—the cobbler—
together with his entrancing
little shop with its row of
old shoes and the smell of
leather, is definitely on the way
out in larger cities. The big shoe
stores have equipped their “econ
omy basements” with out fits to
rebuild shoes “like new.” So an
other notable institution is about
to fade into the mists of the past.
Pausing a moment while Mary
Ann Winkler made the final
stroke with the pen before hand
ing me two of the war ration
books, overtime pay for teachers
was mentioned. Miss Winkler re
mained at her desk some three
hours extra each evening Iasi}
week. “I do it for my country,”
she said. That’s simple, direct, un
derstandable—no union racketeer
sentiment about that. Do it for my
country! Don’t that knock the
grouch out of you? A country
school at $50 a month is no snap
for a young woman. While we
honor the heroes in uniform, how
about a bit of tribute for the
heronine who stays late in the
little one-room school house and
with a smile makes out our sugar
rationing documents, and will “do
2 it fbr my country.”
If you enjoy “raising a row” so
you can sit back and watch the
fun just suggest that some offi
cial setup might be dispensed with.
Sea the gents whose affections are
attached to the payroll jump to
their feet. Voices that sometimes
accomplish things are first heard
from the far-back places. A few
voices are raised, questioning the
value of the services of the so
called railway commission, and a
shout comes back asserting great
savings in freight and other rates.
Maybe so. Regulations, taxes and
loss of business has broke the
back of the only railroad across
north Nebraska and the service
it is able to give is a transporta
tion joke. Before other means of
transportation came under official
regulation you could get a neigh
bor with a truck to do a turn for
you and pay him what he asked,
that being less than authorized
hauling collect now. Maybe things
are as they should be—patriots like
to have something to “crab”
about.
Indulging a “love feast” of
things good, bad and indifferent
past, present and future with Els
af Tth Mack on the street up at
1 /wkinson the other day an old
^ from out to the west paused
long enough in passing to tell us
a chick with five legs had been
hatched at his place. Even the
poultry is being prepared for
something unusual. You will find
it pleasant, profitable, informa
tive to spend a while with those
who have traveled the same rug
ged road reviewing our history,
our people—a people that were
every inch alive, many vicious,
many more noble hearted, and all
brave. The record has closed for
most of them. We draw the veil
of charity over much of the past,
and lift the veil on much more
for which no descendant need
blush. Elsworth came to the coun
ty as a young man in the autumn
of 1884 and now faces the golden
sunset. Through the long years as
official, on the ranch, in business
or in contact with men of good
or evil designs, he has been a
square shooter and every inch a
man. Vigor of mind and body
belie his years, though having
withdrawn from the strenuous
past that characterized his earlier
life.

Given USO; Navy Relief

ed a calf which was sold at the

Work On New Store
Building Progressing
Very Rapidly
Charles Melena, who has the
contract for the new Mable Gatz
store building, being erected ad
jacent to the brick occupied for
many years by the Council Oak
store, has the work well under
way and if things go right Charles
expects to have the building com
pleted by August 1. The basement
is dug and side walls built and
the first of the week work was
commenced on the rough floor for
the first floor. Practically all of
the material is on the ground and
work is expected to progress rap
idly. The east wall of the old
building is to be torn out aud
both building^ made into one,
which will make a store room
about 42x100 feet, and will be one
of the finest store buildings in
the city.
When completed it is to be oc
cupied by the J. C. Penney com
pany. It will be a splendid build
ing for them as it will make lots
of floor space to display their
merchandise and it will be a
great addition to the south side!
of Douglas street, which has al
ready a number of nice new
buildings.
Lincoln Suffered From
Flood Waters Monday
Lincoln was visited with a cloud
burst last Monday afternoon,
which resulted in the flooding of
twenty miles of Lancaster'coun
ty and left 300 families homeless.
The property damage, while un
determined Tuesday noon, is es
timated to run into the million’s of
dollars. Salt Creek, a little stream
that runs through the south and
southwest part of Lincoln, was a
raging torrent. It is said to have
been the highest water in the
capital city since 1908. The fall
of water is said to have been from
6 to 9 inches and fell in the south
ern part of Lincoln about 5 o’clock
Monday afternoon. Lincoln prop
er' had only .31 hundreths of an
inch of rain during the night.
Lincoln was apparently the cen
ter of the worst storm through
the flood extended to Crete and
Beatrice and struck hard in the
vicinity of Hickman Roca and
Sprague-Martel. The Missouri
river at Nebraska City Monday
night was 16.7 feet, more than a
foot above flood stage, but the
only flooding reported was op
posite Nebraska City where more
than 50 acres of low land was
under water.
Miss Lanore Miles of Norfolk
i spent the week-end with her par
ents, Mr. and Mrs. G. E. Miles.

Tornado Struck Southwest
Of Ewing Monday
Evening Killing Four
Tornadoes that brought death
and destruction to at least 7 north
east Nebraska communities last
Tuesday evening, leaving in their
wake 5 dead, 4 injured, 2 critic
ally, scores of head of livestock
killed and thousands of dollars
worth of property damage. Areas
struck were near Ewing, Elgin,
Oakdale, Osmond, Foster, Ran
dolph and Niobrara.
Southwest of Ewing Mr. and
Mrs. John Leahy and two daugh- .
ters, Elaine 9, and Barbara 5,
were killed and a daughter, Shir
ley 8, was seriously injured, but
is expected to recover.
According to a report of the
storm in the Norfolk News the
members of the Leahy family
were killed as they dashed toward
the storm cave from their home.
They were appartntly picked up
and hurled against a building or
to the ground. The mother and
j father and one of the girls were
killed instantly, while the other
girl lived about two hours.
Father Byersdorfer, of St.
John’s was in the city last eve
ning, and while we did not get
to talk to him, we understand
that eleven members of his par
ish suffered severe property dam
age, but no lives were lost.
Victor Balliwitz family, in the
same neighborhood, as the Leahy
family, escaped death by dashing
into their cellar a few seconds
before the tdrnado ripped across
their farm and destroped every
building.
The Frank Hawk family, living
in the same territory were caught
in their house by the storm, but
as the building stood they were
unhurt. All other buildings on the
I place were wrecked.
Many of the buildings on the
John Ballwitz farm near Ewing
were reduced to splinters.
The Leahy home was torn to
pieces and the parts of the build
ing scattered over a wide area.
| An automobile stood at the side
of the house and was driven away
the next morning on its own pow
er, being undamaged.
Northwest of Orchard Mrs. Frank
Vrooman, about 60, was killed and
her hsuband seriously injured
and may die. Several other peo
! pie were injured in this section
of the state by the storm, but
none are considered serious.
