BREEZES FROM
THE SOUTHWEST
By Romaine Saunders
Those 4-H baby beeves have'
grown horns that tell they long
since left the baby stage.
Comminique — why not the
good Yankee word “message” in
giving out news from the fronts?
Have you a neighbor past 60?
Ask them how they like it now
compared with conditions 40
years ago.
From various sources calls are
made for the legislature to do
something with the primary law
but none suggest what the “some
thing” should be. My own sug
gestion would be to repeal the
whole shebang.
Someone has favored me with
a printed report of the Pearl Har
bor commission, covering twenty- i
one pages. It adds nothing to
the important facts already known
but is an example of the prolix
detail of official reports as com-!
pared to the report of a fighting
sailor who “sighted sub, sank
same.”
These tragic days have stirred
the minds of thinking men to the
futility of life without tha anchor
of religious faith. If ever such
an anchor were needed to hold
us steady now is the day. The
country is overrun with religions
of a sort, but what is needed is
honest-to-goodness Christianity.
You have to cut and try some
times. I voted for Dwight Gris
wold two years ago not knowing
whether or not he was the right
material for governor. His ser
vices as such convinces us that he
is. Not spectacular, not show
man, but as capable and sensible
chief executive as Nebraska has
had in a long time.
I am taking the liberty to use
a portion of a letter lately re
ceived from Hugh Donohoe, of
Chehalis, Wash.: After years
go by The Frontier is more and
more like a letter from the old
home. I have been practicing
law out here for thirty-four years,
got so rich (?) under the New
Deal domination that I suspect I
will be buried here if the Japs
don’t get me before I die.”
The Ted Fredreich household
represented this neighborhood at
the state fair last Thursday,
while Fred Watson, Mr. and Mrs.
George Withers and a few others
took in the Chambers fair the
same day. Besides interesting
exhibits and a program of enter
tainment, the Chambers fair af
fords an annual gathering point
where neighbor can contact neigh
bor, visit with old friends and
shake hands with our candidates
for office, a regrettable feature
of this being you can’t promise
them all your vote. Mr. Miller,
for congress, Sheriff Duffy, Mr.
Alfs and Mr. Sire were among
this group at the fair Thursday,
the latter gentleman having a
cattle exhibit.
The slanting rays of the setting
sun had reflected gold and twang
bars amid a riot of colors flashed
in floral lovliness from the flow
er beds the lady has nursed into
full bloom, a soft September
breeze fans the violet plumes on
high treetops, gleaming white
toadstools that have sprung from
dark meadow land caught the
parting glow of day, birds
wheeled on weary wing to their
period of rest, the red glow fades
out of the west and a faint light
lingers across the heavens,
shadow has spread over the prai
rie, katydids assemble their or
chestra and the insects take to
the air. Our Creator has appoint
ed us another night—a night of
security and quiet charm, safe in
the priceless heritage of free men
and a Christian home in a com
munity of Godfearing men and
women, and not without some
hardened old sinner.
“The day is done. The quiet
hour is here.
The fading sun sinks peacefully
to rest.
The curtain folds of twilight
reappear
In sweet security. A lonesome
guest
Leads me within the cloister,
and I share
The consciousness that He is
with me there.”
The clock ticks off the hours.
The Milky Way has drawn a
I band across the heavens, stars
\ glow from out the measureless
SUNDAY THIRTEENTH WAS
LUCKY DAY AT EMMET
Probably the total number of
people who assembled at Emmet
last Sunday exceeded 1000. The
friend chicken dinners were Serv-1
ed until 8:30, at which time the
weary workers— cooks, waitres
ses, etc., sat down to a simple
meal of hamburgers, for every
tasty plate of chicken had been
eaten.
The baseball game was very
good, too. The veterans, who per
formed capably and brilliantly at
times, are still baseball players,
making the right play instinctive
ly and moving to the right spot
before the play. Dean Beckwith
was the winnig pitcher, Bill Tro
shynski the loser, and the score
was 5 to 3. The game was inter
esting throughout and produced
many thrills. W. J. Holliday, |
Henry Patterson and Buv Wan-!
ser contributed two hits each. |
Charlie Richter, Frickle, August
Troshynski and Rex Beckwith
were especially good at their po
sitions. Anthony O’Donnell was
umpire, and claims that Earl
Chaney made the outstanding
‘catch’ of the game, Jhough
Father Hilt’s one-hand pickup
puts him in the running. Charlie
Shaw and Mike Troshynski show
ed lots of pep as catchers, and
Jack Brophy did most with least
motion. John Conard caught a
fly, and all the players showed
wonderful spirit in making the
game a happy gathering of good
fellows who delighted to take out
spikes and gloves once more in
a good cause.
Emmet, and the Church of the
Ephiphany, in particular, were
proud to play host to the grand
crowds who came from O’Neill,
Atkinson, Amelia, Stuart, and
other places. Grateful, too.
Cpl. Robert Ryan, who was en
route from Denver, Colo., where
he had been assigned to take ai
group of Recruits and was re-j
turning to Camp Grant at Rock
ford, 111., spent from Monday
night until Wednesday visiting
his father, J. B. Ryan, and other
relatives.
Miss Anna Clark returned to
her home in Omaha on Tuesday,
after an extended visit at the
home of his sister, Mrs. M. R.
Sullivan, and family.
depths of eternity, and the old
timer must get to bed.
In the alley back of the drug
store on a mild summer morning,
Eli Hershiser adjusted the gear on
a little brown broncho prepara
tory to mounting for a long ride.
On the range of the Spade ranch
with Johnnie Kearney, Eli had
won his spurs and now he was
about to set out on an unusual
mission. There was a frantic
mother in town whose untamed
but harmless offspring had left
the domestic corral and she had
enlisted the old range rider to
round him up and run on the
household brand. I see Eli has
had a birthday celebration. Had
I been in O’Neill at the time he
would have had another guest.
But the story. Hay McClure and
the Tierney boys had rigged out
a light wagon outfit, each supply
ing a horse, and started north to
the reservation, what is now
Boyd county. The lure of Indian
life called to them to leave the
haunts of civilization— the lure
of the open air, the open sky the
long reach of prairie, the mystic
silence of wooded slope, the> foot
print of beaded moccasin by the
Niobrara’s troubled waters, the
curling smoke of wigwam, the
savory venison roasted at camp
fires, the odor of sweat on racing
ponies. They had been gone a
night when Mrs. McClure got Eli
out on the trail. After a day in
the saddle he pulled up at eve
ning on a knoll and spotted the
boys’ outfit near the river in the
valley a mile below. Dismount
ing, he went into camp for the
night. At daybreak he rode into
the slumbering camp by the river
and aroused the boys. There was
a show of protest at the great ad
venture ending in ignominy. But
the boys w£re hungry. Visions of
sitting about the campfire and
partaking of roast leg of antelope
had ended in stark emptiness. So
it was a case of surrender. Eli
filled them up on the less roman
tic but substantial bread and
cheese when they reached Bill
Nollkamper’s at Eagle Mills.
The boys requested that when
they got to town they be taken
home without being seen, but the
obdurate Eli told them he would
herd thefn straight for the main
street. They got home and the
thrilling adventure closed with
one of mother’s good square
meals. And so the beckoning vis
ion of youth broke on the cold,
hard rock of reality.

FUNERAL HELD FOR
JOE ARMSTRONG
Joseph T. Armstrong died at a
hospital in Crawford, Nebr., last
Friday afternoon at 5 o’clock, af
ter an illness of but two '"'ays, of
mesenteric thrombosis, at the age
of fifty-four years and seventeen
days. The body was brought to
this city Sunday morning and the
funeral held at 9 o’clock Mon
day morning from the Catholic
church, Monsignor McNamara of
ficiating, and burial in Calvary
cemetery. The local post of the
American Legion attended the
funeral and a firing squad paid
final tribute to their departed
comrade at the cemetery.
Joe was> born on the old family
homestead northwest of this city
on August 28, 1888, and grew to
manhood in this county, where
he resided until he entered the
army during the first World war.
He served overseas, returning af
ter the war to this city. His ser
vice in the army weakened him
physically and the past twenty
years he has not been robust, hav
ing considerable trouble with his
heart. He came here on August
10 to attend the funeral of his
mother and remained here until
Sept. 5, visiting old-time friends.
On the latter date he left for his
home at Sheridan, Wyo., but was
taken sick at Crawford, Nebr.,
and went to a hospital there,
where he passed away.
In the fall of 1920 he left this
county and moved to Laurel,
Mont., where he ranched for sev
eral years. In January, 1923, he
was united in marriage at Laurel
to Miss June Jones. One daugh
ter was born of this union, Mar
garet, who for several years has
made her home with her aunt,
Mrs. Bess Finley, at Norfolk, Joe
and his wife having separated
several years ago. He is also sur
vived by two brothers: James, of
Sheridan, Wyo., and Michael, of
Washta, S. D. Also by three sis
ters: Mrs. Ellen Erwin, Sheridan,
Wyo.; Mrs. Mary Reiser, Washta,
S. D„ and Mrs. Bess Finley, Nor
folk, Nebr.
In 1932 he moved to Sheridan,
Wyo., where he and his brothers
and sisters became interested in
a coal mine a few miles from that
city, and they have operated it
very successfully ever since.
Joe’s sudden death was a severe
shock to his relatives and many
friends in this city, for it was
only a few days ago that he was
with us, apparently as well as he
had been for the past several
! years.
Mrs. Leonard Patterson and
! daughter, Mary, of Larnesa, Calif.,
| came Thursday for a two weeks
visit with her mother, Mrs. Cora
| Hansen, and family.
While Our Homes Still Stand
War with all its horrors, its ever increasing demand for personal
sacrifice, its restriction of individual rights, has cas^ a shadow over
our country. No section, town, village, city or hamlet can escape
its demands, demands that affect the lives of all of us. Yet we here
in America have not felt the full potency of total war, at least many
of our inland towns and cities will be secure from the scourge of the
enemy. But this does not mean that we can ever allow ourselves
to deviate one iota from the avowed purpose of total victory. To
achieve this, we must work, sacrifice, and bend every effort indi
vidually and collectively te contribute our efforts where they are
vitally needed to win the war.
In every home in America, without exception, there are things
that have long outlived their usefulness. True, they may be wrap
ped in memories—delightful mementoes of children at play. John's
first tricycle . . . Mary's doll carriage . . . the skates that Bill learned
on. . . . These are only things . . . things that have passed their
utilitarian value, that we are asked to give as scrap. They aren't
scrap to us . . . they mean something in our lives. But our homes
are still standing here. Over there they have a different kind of
scrap . . . they have the beams that used to support the steeple of
their church . . . the iron rails that little hands used to grasp to
help them up the stairs. . . . Yes—they have much more scrap of
that kind than we . . . but let us give the scrap IN our homes—and
not the scrap OF our homes.

4-H SHOWS AT FAIRS
WELL ATTENDED
4-H clubs in Holt county had
splendid exhibits at both the Holt
County and Tri-County Fairs j
last week. Both shows being held
in the county on the same day, it
was necessary for some 4-H mem
bers, who planned to attend both
show's, to make their choice.
Livestock exhibits took the
lead in both events. This is an in
dication of the interest the boys
and girls are taking in this en
terprise in their home commu
nities.
Considering the disadvantages
of travel and labor under which
most people are forced, the boys

4-H MEMBERS COMPETE
AT THE STATE FAIR
Three 4-H members selected at
the annual 4-H Achievement Day
competed at the livestock judging
contest at the Nebraska state fair
last week. Holt county members
being inexperienced were unable
to place in the top placing, but
report that they gained valuable
experience and had a very en
joyable trip. Those attending
were: Maxine Ressel of Cham
bers, Wayne Cadwallader and
George Mellor of Stuart.
istrative functions in order that
troops may be as free as possible
from administrative and supply
functions. This results in devo
tion of a maximum of attention
to training and fighting. Colonel
Meredith submitted basic prin
ciples and recommended such a
general policy in May of 1940.
Earlier, he recommended the
principles and development of
large scale smoke experiments
for defense of the Panama Canal
and later conducted the experi
ments in Panama.
Colonel Meredith’s athletic ac
tivities include participaton on
high school, city and college base
ball teams. He was a member of
the class exhibition equitation
team at West Point. He became
golf champion of the Panama
Golf Club in 1927 and according
to his statement still likes to “try
to play golf.” The Colonel is an
enthusiastic hunter of small
game, and a fisherman, though he
remarks that trout are too smart.
He was a member of the Lex
ington, Ky., Rotary Club and the
Chamber of Commerce, and while
stationed at Rockford, 111., was
associated with the Kiwanis Club.
He is a member of the Elks, Odd
Fellows and Masonic Lodges.
CALF SHOW & SALE
MONDAYSEPT 28
The sixth calf show and sale
scheduled for the O’Neill Sale Pa
vilion on Monday, Sept. 28 gives
promise of measuring up to all
expectations of 4-H members and
ranchers.
Extensive advertising has been
carried on in cornbelt feeder ter
ritories which will attract buyers
who are interested in obtaining
feeder calves. Ranchers are in
vited to enter choice lots of feeder
calves in order that the demand
can be satisfied.
The show will be carried on as
in the past with a 4-H division
and a commercial division under
the direction of the O'Neill Com
mercial Club. The committee,
consisting of Ambrose Rohde,
Robert Armbruster, E. M. Gal
lagher and Ted McElhaney, are
working with managers James
Rooney and Lyndle Stout to furn
ish liberal premiums in both di
visions. The show will continue
to bring out the average of qual
ity feeder calves, advertise our
cattle industry and encourage
4-H club work in the county. The
show is being held in a series,
with the show at Bassett on the
following day.
Judging of the classes will be
handled by Russell Kendall, of
the Packer National Bank of
South Omaha, and Joe Watson,
county agent of West Point,
Cuming county. Both judges have
a fine background of judging and
will be very interesting to hear
explain their reasons for placing
the classes. Judging will start
promptly at 9 o’clock a. m.
The sale will be held and
handled by the O’Neill Livestock
Commission Company, but ranch
ers having calves to show or sell
are asked to enter them with
James Rooney or Lyndle Stout,
managers of the sale. (Calves en
tered with the management will
be sold before others in the
yards). The sale will start at 12
