Some samples had nearly four times as much vitamin A as others. Colo rado reports that the third cut ting of alfalfa has 50% less vita- j min B thari the first cutting. An other report shows some skim milk had 66.3% less vitamin G than other samples. This shows that an egg mash could be “strong” today but “weak” tomor row in health promoting vitamins unless extra vitamins are added to the grains by a concentrate. Much of the reason for the extra pushing-power of Shamrock Lay ing Mash is VITAMELK, special concentrate of 16 vital vitamins and trace minerals that is added to Shamrock Laying Mash. Feed this vitamin-rich “16 cylinder” lay mash. Costs less than most national advertised feeds. Sham rock Laying Mash is made and sold by O'NEILL HATCHERY O'NEILL.

Turn In Old Silk And Nylon Stockings Local chapters of the American j Legion Auxiliary are sponsoring; a drive for old and worn out silk, and nylon stockings. As is well known, the entire supply of raw | silk used to come from Japan, and is therefore now cut off. Silk is the only substance of which powder, bags may be made which burns out entirely when the charge is fired in one of Uncle Sam’s big guns, leaving no dirt or ashes behind to foul the gun barrel. The nylon will be used chiefly in making parachutes. Women who save their old hose, therefore, and turn them in will be directly aiding the war effort. They should be turned in to a hosiery dealer, who, when he ac cumulates 100 pounds, will ship it to the proper receiving center. A. C. A. Notes The loan rate on 1942 corn in Holt county will be 59 cents for No. 3 or better yellow or white corn. We are now taking applica tions for same. The requirements are similar to previous years. Our third and fourth cars of feed wheat are expected daily. We have erected an exchange and for sale bulletin board in our office. We ask that all people in the county make use of it. Remember, we are to increase pork production in 1943, in order that our-boys will not have to fight on an empty stomach. If there are any holders of cer tificates of war necessity who are not satisfied with the amounts allotted them, please notify this office— wfe will send out appeal forms to be filled out. Harry E. Ressell, Chairman, i Holt County A. C. A. Farley Has It Sized Up Judge James C. Quigley, Dem ocratic national committeeman, was in Omaha recently to attend a complimentary dinner given in honor of James A. Farley, former Democratic national chairman, who is now touring the country on business matters. When inter viewed, Mr. Farley said that the Republican landslide was caused by the people’s resentment at “being pushed around.’’ He said that people would stand just so much, and then revolt. Mr. Far ley, it has long been suspected, is not a very good New Dealer.: —Valentine Republican. The Junior Class O’Neill High School presents “The Heart Exchange” H. S.

Separate city and state probes produced testimony that the night club building was of “tinderbox construction” and that flames had raced like light ning through draperies that “look ed like gauze.” Assistant District Attorney F. T. Doyle opened a separate in quiry into the fire, and announced that all testimony would be pri vate “in view of the fact that criminal prosecutions may result later.’’ A Boston fire department inquest heard for the first time that a sailor had unscrewed an electric light bulb in the base ment of Melody lounge of the club, where the fire started, so he could “mug his girl.” Stanley F. Tomaszewski, six teen year old bus boy, who said he innocently started the fire, when he dropped a match into one of the palm trees which dec orated the club, while trying to replace a light bulb which had been removed by one of the pa trons, is one of the principal wit nesses. Scores were trampled and smothered to death in the jam of flailing, screaming, fighting hu manity that piled up and blocked! the four exits., Over 1,000 persons were jammed into the night club which, although, it was founded by the gangster, King Kong Sol omon, is Boston’s most fashion able. The club is entered by one or the other of two revolving doors, set side by side in a ten-foot foyer. There is a small door from the street into the ground floor cock tail ounge. That, the two revolv ing doors, and an exit from the part of the basement devoted to storage and service and no wider than the door of a telephone booth, were the only exits.
