SOUTHWESTERN
BREEZES
By Romaine Saunders
If you would set a brother
straight in his thinking, why al
low modesty, moral cowardice or
inferiority complex to rob you of
the credit thus due you by hiding
behind the mystery of an unsign
ed letter’ Heaven help the indi
vidual who seeks to promulgate
his views on any of the red-hot
sticks of dynamite of the day and
does not come out in the open. If
i ever this was a man’s world, it is
1 today. If ever you needed two
legs to stand on, now is the time.
A paragraph in this column re
lating to a character in India has
drawn fire. The one who fired the
shot was either ashamed, afraid
or too modest to sign his offering,
which is scarcely legible, but I
make out a collection of state
ments about India, the British
and our American colonial per
iod. The question of independ
ence of India was in no way in
volved in what I had to say of
the jailing of the chief disturber
over there and it is unusual, if
not wholly unwarranted, to aban
don for once the purpose of this
column to a lengthy discussion of
other peoples’ affairs.
A comparison of our colonial
history with the situation in In
dia, as touched upon by my an
onymous critic, is beside the
point. Our forefathers wrought
out a new thing among nations
by the methods of men and pa
triots, not the methods of fools.
The chief disturber in India
says they will gain independence
without violence, and at once vi
olence breaks out on every hand.
The Indian could cope with the
world as it was 500 years ago, but
in this mad hour that enfeebled
race would fall a prey to interna
tional bandits if left to themsel
ves. Many of their ablest char
acters recognize this.
A few extracts from the book,
“Mother India,” by Katherine
' Mayo, will show what the pagan
mind feeds on:
"Tne wnoie pyramid 01 me
Hindu’s woes, material and spir
itual— poverty, sickness, ignor
ance, political minority, melan
choly, ineffectiveness, not forget
ting that subconscious conviction
of inferiority which he forever
bares and advertises by his gnaw
ing and imaginative alertness for
social affronts—rests upon a rock
bottom physical base. This base
is, simply, his manner of getting
into the world and his sex-life
thenceforward.
“In the great orthodox Hindu
majority the girls look for
motherhood between the ages of
14 and 8. As to the husband, he
may be a child scarcely older
than herself or he may be a wid
ower of 50, when he first requires
of her his conjugal rights. The
little mother goes through a de
structive pregnancy, ending in
confinement whose peculiar tor
tures will not be imagined unless
in detail explained.
“Because of her place in the
social system, child-bearing and
matters of procreation are the
woman’s one interest in life, her (
one subject of conversation, be
her caste high or low. Therefore,
the child growing up in the home
learns, from earliest grasp of
word and act, to dwell upon sex
relations.
“Siva, one of the greatest of
I the Hindu deities, is represented,
* on highroad shrines, in the tem
ples, on the little altars of the
home, or in personal amulets, by
the image of the male generative
organ, in which shape he receives
the daily sacrifices of the devout.
The followers of Vishnu, multi
tudinous in the south, from their
childhood wear painted on their
foreheads the sign of the function
of generation.”
“ ... . from one end of the land
to the other the average male
Hindu of thirty years, provided
he has means to command his
pleasures, is an old man; and that
from seven to eight out of every
ten such males between the ages
of 25 and 30 are impotent.
Advertisements of magical drugs
and mechanical contrivances,
whether ‘for princes and rich men
only,’ or the humbler and not less
familiar ‘32 Pillars of Strength to
prop up your decaying body for
One Rupee only’ crowd the col
umns of the papers.”
Devitalized, prematurely aged,
lifeless. Can their aged but defied
and imprisoned leader be regard
ed as otherwise than foolish to
think such an outfit can make a
go of it among the wolves of
earth today?

TWO HEAVY RAINS
DURING PAST WEEK
This county has been visited by
some nice rains during the past
week. We had a nice rain last
Friday night, when 1.14 inches of
precipitation fell and the rain was
quite general over the county, be
ing much heavier in the eastern
and northeastern part of the
county. Then on Tuesday night
we had another dandy rain, one
of the finest of the year. It start
ed raining about 10:30 and rained
all night and until about 2:30
Wednesday afternoon, and when
the government gauge was exam
ined it was discovered that 2.57
inches had fallen, or three and
seventy-one hundredths inches
for the two rains, and it was gen
eral.
The last rain came down very
easily, very little thunder or
lightning and it all soaked in the
ground. What Holt county farm
ers want now is about three
weeks of nice warm weather to
ripen the corn and we will have
a bumper crop. In addition to
helping the corn crop it put the
pastures, which were getting a
little short, in good condition for
a couple of more months of feed.
The ground is also in fine condi
tion for the planting of fall crops.
Yes, it was grand!

FORMER RESIDENT
DIES IN WYOMING
Darrol A. Baker, an employee
of the Chevrolet garage, received
word Saturday that his father,
0. W. Baker, had passed away at
Casper, Wyo., that morning, after
a short illness. Mr. Baker left
that evening for Casper to attend
the funeral.
Mr. Baker was a resident of this
county and city for many years.
He lived in southwestern Swan
precinct for several years, then
disposed of his property there
and moved to this city, where he
ran a restaurant for a few years.
He left this county in 1926 and
went to Wyoming, where he re
sided at the time of his death.
He had many friends in this city
and county who will regret to
learn of his passing. The follow
ing account of his death and bur
ial is taken from a Casper paper:
“Olin Withrow Baker, a res
ident of Casper, Wyo., for the
past 16 years, died in Memorial
hospital Saturday morning, Sept.
1, after a short illness. Born in
Madison county, Nebraska, Sept.
8, 1875, Mr. Baker came to Wyo
ming sixteen years ago and for
the past fourteen years had made
his home at 830 North Glenarm
Street.
“He was an expert repairman
and was also known as a veterin
arian. He frequently was called
upon to play the violin, which he
had learned to play years ago.
“He was married at Amelia,
Nebraska, in 1897. In addition to
his wife, Nellie Baker, of the fam
ily home, he is survived by a
daughter, Mrs. A. E. Edison, of
Shawnee, Wyo.; three sons, Ralph
C. of Rawlins, Wyo., Darrol A. of
O’Neill, Nebr., and Donald E. of
Salt Lake City, Utah, and several
grandchildren.
“He was a member of Elkhorn
Valley Lodge No. 57, I. O. O. F.,

odist church. Funeral services
were held Monday afternoon at
3 o’clock at the Bustard funeral
home, with the Rev. Charles E.
Hardesty, pastor of the First
Methodist church, officiating, as
sisted by Casper Lodge No. 22, I.
O. O. F. Interment was made in
Highland cemetery at Casper.”
Miss Teresa Connelly, who has
been employed at the county
sheriff’s office for a number of

A WEEK OF THE WAR
General MacArthur’s Austral
ian Headquarters reported in a
special communication August 31
that Japanese invasion troops
have suffered a disastrious defeat
in the Milne Bay area of New
Guinea. A force of Australian
shock troops had been secreted
along the bay in anticipation of
the Japanese landing August 26,
the report said, and as a result
the Japanese landed in a trap.
The Japanese lost all of an “enor
mous quantity” of heavy material
they landed, including tanks, and
except for a few troops evacuated
by an enemy cruiser and eight
destroyers, the enemy land force
was annihilated.
The Navy announced that Mar
ines holding six islands in the
southeastern Solomons had killed
or captured all Japanese troops
attempting to retake the islands.
The Navy reported August 30
that seven enemy planes were
shot down when they attempted
to raid the airfield facilities which
the Marines had captured on
Guadalcanal, bringing the total
of enemy planes shot down in the
Solomons fighting to 78. The
Navy also announced the Mar
ines, with Navy suport, raided the
Japanese base on Makin Island
in the Gilberts, killing all but 2
of an estimated 330 enemy garri
son. U. S. losses were less than 1
to 10 of Japanese.
In the European theatre, U. S.
Flying Fortresses bombed the air
drome of Wevelghemen, near
Countrai in Belgium, in the
eighth straight operation without
loss. In other precision bombing
raids, the Fortresses attacked the
Rotterdam shipyards and an air
plane factory at Meaulte in north
ern France. Lt. Gen. Joseph W.
Stilwell announced August 31 in
Chungking, China, that U. S.
Army planes based in China have
made heavy and successful at
tacks on Myitkyina and Lashio,
the two large Japanese bases in
northern Burma. The Navy an
nounced the sinking of five more
United Nations merchant ships
by enemy submarines in the At
lantic.
Joseph C. Grew, former ambas
sador to Japan newly returned
from Tokyo, said in a radio ad
dress the Japanese will fight
“with all the force and power at
their command . . . until they are
utterly crushed.” Mr. Grew stat
ed “we are up against a powerful
Men are dying for the Four
c Freedoms. The least we can
* do here at home is to buy
, War Bonds*—10% for War
Bonds, every pay day,
fighting machine, a people whose
morale cannot and will not be
broken even by successive de
feats,- who will certainly not be
broken by economic hardships, a
people who individually and col
lectively will gladly sacrifice their
lives for their Emperor and their
Nation, and can be brought to
earth only by complete defeat in
battle.”
Controlling the Cost of
Living
President Roosevelt said he
would announce his new anti-in
flation program in a nation-wide
address the evening of Labor
Day, and would send a message
to Congress earlier the same day.
He told his press conference that
forthcoming steps to control the
cost of living will include stabil
ization of farm prices as well as
wages, because neither could be
stabilized without the other. He
said wage stabilization would be
flexible and would not amount to
flat freezing of wages and salar
ies. The President also said the
Government is considering one
meatless day a week, as a plan to
be used largely as a means of sav
ing oceanic shipping space for the
total war effort. He said under the
plan American meat could be

Livestock Receipts Are
Heaviest of Season Here
The heaviest run of cattle thus
far this season was sold at the
local livestock auction last Mon
day. Practically all classes felt
the price knife; chiefly the result
of last week’s scare over live meat
animal ceilings, Price cuts ranged
from 15c to 40c, according to class
and quality. However, action was
good and many buyers were here
from several states to absorb the
day’s supplies. The quality of the
offering was barely medium to
good.
In the calf division, where sup
plies were heavier than at any
other time this season, an ex
treme top of $13.90 was paid for
a few 300-lb. steers. Bulk moved
at prices ranging from $12.50 to
$13.50. Heifer calves scaling at
385 lbs., topped at $12.05.
The yearling class comprised
the long end of the day’s offering
and several carload lots were
sold. Loadlots of steers moved at
$11.75 to $12.50, with smaller
bunches reaching $12.65. Heifers
averaging 605 lbs. cashed at $10.75
to $11.50.
Two-year olds were plentiful
also and several loadlots of these
were sold. Steers averaging 1050
lbs. brought $11.90 and the same
price was paid for loadlots aver
aging 800 lbs. Smaller bunches
made $12, paid sparingly.
A few good beef cows made $10
to $10.25; bulk cashed at $8.50 to
$9.85. Plainer kinds ranged from
$7.25 to $8.25 with canners bring
ing $6.50 to $7. Bulls reached
$10.35 on 1400-lb. weights.
In the hog division an extreme
top of $13.65 was paid for handy
weight, well finished butchers,
with the bulk selling from $13.45
to $13.55. A very few choice sows
reached $13.10, but the practical
top stopped at $13. Bulk of the
sows ranged from $12.65 to $13.
Feeders topped at $15.80.
Around 30 sheep sold and they
were mostly lambs, which sold
by the head. Next auction will
be held on Monday, Sept. 7.

REGIONAL OFFICIAL
COMES TO O'NEILL
Robert F. Wallace, regional
business consultant from the
Kansas City Regional Office of the
United States Department of
Commerce, was in O’Neill Tues
day, August 25, to confer with lo
cal business leaders on problems
arising out of the war which face
the small town and small bus
iness.
Wallace explained that perhaps
more than with any other single
problem the Department of Com
merce is concerned with the diffi
culties confronting small towns.
He carefully pointed out the fac
tors which have made it impos
sible to establish large industrial
plants such as airplane plants and
tank factories in the small towns
of agricultural regions. Among
the handicaps which these towns
face are inadequate skilled labor,
inadequate housing, transporta
tion and power facilities, and re
moteness from sources of raw ma
terial and complementary indus
tries. The great contribution
which these communities are
making to the winning of the war
is in their normal business of ag
ricultural production.
Among the efforts which the
Department of Commerce has
made to help small towns is the
“Small Town Manual.” This is a
book containing a great many
suggestions for co-operative com
munity action. The “Manual”
shows how the small town can
help win the war and at the same
time help itself by making the
town a better place in which to
live.
Wallace was also interested in
finding what facilities there are
in O’Neill which might be used
in the war effort. He said, ‘‘Of
course, you must realize that we
can make no promises. The De
partment of Commerce has no
power to allocate contracts or to
establish defense projects. We
can only investigate your facili
ties and bring them to the atten
tion of the proper authorities. We
can make only one promise, and
on that one thing I can make you
a very definite promise. We want
to help you in any way we can,
and on any project which you feel
has a chance of success, we shall
be glad to pfesent it to the proper
agencies in Washington. I can as
sure you that any brochure or
prospectus which you prepare
will be given careful attention
and placed in the hands of those
! who are prepared to act upon it.”

days visiting with his brother be
fore he left for army service.
The Busy Hour Club met at the
home of Ruby Wayman with only

: games and visiting. Prizes were
won by Ruth Wayman and Annie
Ellingson. A lunch of sandwiches,
cake, pickles and koolade was
served by the hostess. The next
