BREEZES FROM
THE SOUTHWEST
By Romaine Saunders
Atkinson, Nebr., Star Route No. 5.
■ ■■ ■
O’Neill business concerns set a
record last week for advertising.
Citizens out on the prairie accept
these cheering greetings as genu
ine expressions from their friends
at the- county seat.
During the last war Mr. Wilson
had 48 persons on the White
House payroll in July, 1917, at a
monthly outlay of $164,000. On
Sept. 1 last Mr. Roosevelt had on
the White House payroll 906 per
sons at a monthly outlay of gov
ernment funds of $2,999,460.
Maybe the proper treatment for
the “intellectual crackpots and
smart alecks” Mr. Curtis tells
about down at Washington would
be to put them into uniforms, a
60-pound pack on their backs, a
heavy gun to tote and send them
to the front over seas. I imagine
that would jar anyone out of
“maniacal theories.”
A Lincoln merchant advertises
“college bred pumps and ox
fords.” Our capital city is noted
as a highbrow center but its a bit
of news to out-state clodhoppers
that even footwear is given a col
lege degree from, the classic halls
of learning. By the same token, I
have worn a pair of “prairie bred
boots since early autumn.
The first day of January, mild
as early September, closed at sun
set in a flame of gold and purple
that held ominous portend for the
weather - wise prairie dweller.
None the less, the picture held a
fascinating charm. The clouds
hung above the horizon, caught
the glow of departed day and
flung the twilight colors heaven
ward. The picture lingered for a
time in transcending lovliness.
As evening clothed the landscape
in its dark curtain stars began to
glow from out the night sky. And
then the second day dawned cold
and gray, the brown prairie land,
stretching out to limitless dis
tance, powdered with silver. The
bare arms of the trees were out
lined in frosty chill against the
gloomy aspect of threatening
clouds. A day to abide where
glowing embers invite to the
warmth and cheer of home. The
threatening clouds brought a
slight snowfall to the southwest,
a bitter wind and near zero tem
perature.
Rationing thus far has deprived
no one of life, liberty and the pur
suit of happiness. The curtailment
of sugar in the homes seems to
have failed to reduce the table
bounties and cars still rattle along
the roads regardless of gas ra
tioning. A cup of hot water may
not gratify the taste but is recom
mended as a wholesome substi
tute for the supposed necessary
morning cup of coffee. Many
American homes are fortified
against the rationing of products
in cans by well stocked shelves
in the cellar where fruits and
vegetbles glow in green and rud
dy and golden richness in Mason
jars. Fresh eggs, butter, cream
milk are commonplace with rural
citizens, but the dairy supplies
are threatened in many commu
nities as dairy herds are sacrificed
to the slaughter because of labor
conditions combined with feed
prices and price ceilings. Maybe
one thing rationing will do is to
show us that some things long le
garded as necessary in daily liv
ing are not needed at all.
Hurrah, For Three
Rural Schools
Hurrah! For the rural schools.
Miss Madolyne Hynes, teacher
of Dist. No. 16, and Mrs. Teresa
Parks, teacher of Dist. No. 27, had
their Christmas programs to
gether. After their program they
sold a peanut for the infantile par
alysis fund, which netted $25.20.
Miss LaVern Borg, teacher of
Dist. No. 27, sold a goose after
her program and turned the pro
ceeds to the fund for infantile
paralysis, which was $45.
Thanks, teachers and patrons.

Pioneer Holt County
Woman Celebrates
Her 90th Birthday
_ i
On January 1, Mrs. Clara Cole
(Grandma, as she is known to her
friends), celebrated her ninetieth
birthday by having open house.
Thirty-nine persons called at her
home to wish her a happy birth
day and were served doughnuts,
angelfood cake and coffee. Many
more friends and relatives called
her on the telephone and sent her
greetings, and letters from five
different states.
Among her many gifts was a
birthday cake from the Dahms
family, which was decorated with
fruit and nuts sent to them by
their soldier boy in California.
All of Grandma’s children,
grandchildren and great grand
children, who live in Nebraska, i
were there, and when the last j
group of grandchildren were j
there they finished the occasion |
by singing the birthday song.
In using her own words, “This
was one of the happiest days of j
my life. I heard from or saw ev- ]
ery one of my loved ones, and I j
thank God they are all well and |
as happy as can be in a horrible
war. And I am happy to be loved j
by so many kind friends.”
Those in attendance were: Mr. j
and Mrs. P. W. McGinnis, Mr. and
Mrs. Guy Cole and family, Mr.
and Mrs. Homer Lowery and
daughters, Mrs. John Conard and
daughter, Mary Lou; Mrs. Leon
Beckwith and daughter, Leona
Fern; Mrs. Guy Beckwith and
children, Mrs. C. F. Abart, Mrs.
Bert Gaffney, Mrs. D. H. Allen,
Mrs. John Lowery, Mrs. T. J.
Peacock, Mr. and Mrs. W. P.
Dailey and Miss Gladys Schmohr

family, Mr. and Mrs. P. V. Hickey,
Mrs. Lizzie Donohoe and Miss
Joan Burgess of O’Neill; Mrs.
j Louise Anspach of Ainsworth,

wishes Grandma Cole many more
happy birthdays.
Former O’Neill Boy
Stands High In
His Adopted State
Secretary of State Lester C.
Hunt, Democratic governor-elect,
said today that Joseph R. Sullivan
■ prominent Laramie Democratic
attorney, had| declined an offer to
become attorney general.
Hunt said he had offered Sulli
■ van appointment as attorney gen
I oral effective with his assuming
i the governorship in January—or
j “anything he wanted.” Sullivan,
; former Laramie city attorney and
now Albany county democratic
chairman, was one of four men
mentioned as possibilities for the
important post.—Cheyenne, Wyo.,
telegram to Denver paper.
Joe Sullivan is a Holt county
boy, being raised in the Michigan
j settlement, where he lived until
he went to Omaha and entered
Creighton and took a law course.
After his graduation he went to
Laramie, Wyoming and entered
upon the practice of his profes
sion, in which he has been remark
ably successful. He is a younger
brother of the late M. R. Sullvan,
former O’Neill postmaster.
O'Neill National Bank
Makes A Splendid Showing
In another column will be
found the quarterly report of the
O’Neill National Bank for the
quarter ending December 31,
1942. This is the finest report
ever issed by this popular bank
ing institution, being the largest
statement ever issued, which
tends to prove that the people of
this section of the state are again
prosperous.
For the second time in its his
tory the footings go over the
million dollar mark, the total
figures for this quarter being
$1,128,219.66. The deposits are
nearly $1,000,000, totaling $977,
260.50. The standing of the bank
! among the people of this county
speaks well for the confidence the
public have in its reliability and
the high character of its officials.
Mr. and Mrs. Bob Cook gave a
watch party at their home New (
Year’s eve. Pinochle was played.
Mrs. Vic Halva and John Schmidt
| won high prize, Mrs. Palmer
Schulz and Vic Halva low, and

FEDERAL INCOME
TAX MATERIAL
The federal income tax is, as
the name implies, a tax levied ]
upon incomes, and it is payable
in relation to incomes. Income,
for Federal income tax purposes,
means in general any compensa
tion for one’s services, whether
the compensation be in money or
in goods or other services; it in
cludes also the net value received
for the product of one’s labor, as
farm produce in the case of a far
mer; income from investments;
profit from business operations;
and other gains from sales and
exchanges of goods and property.
Certain limited categories of in
comes are, however, tax exempt,
and to the extent of such exemp
tion are excludei! in computing
the tax.
Because of exemptions from the
tax given to persons having less
than certain stated amounts of in
come, as well as because of var
deductions and credits al
lowable, only a small proportion
of the number of persons receiv
ing income have until recently
been subject to the tax. Thus, of
the estimated ' 55 million persons
in this country who received in
come in one form or another dur
ing the calendar year of 1941, only
some 26 million persons were re
quired to file Federal income tax
returns for that year, while of
these same 26 million, more than
9 million were not taxable due to
credits and deductions allowable.
As a result of the lowering of
exemptions, many more persons
are now subject to the Federal
income tax than before, and for
the calendar year 1942 it is esti
mated that more than 35 million
persons will file Federal income
tax returns. Tq the large number
of persons now subject to the
Federal income tax, who have
never reported income before for
Federal tax purposes, an under
standing of the law and appli
cable regulations is of prime im
portance. t.
An income tax return is a dec
laration on the part of the tax
payer of his total taxable income
for the year, together with the
various deductions, exemptions,
and credits to which he is en
titled. It is in reliance upon vol
untary disclosure, and the integ
rity of taxpayers generally, that
the cost of administration of the
income, tax can be kept at a min
imum. Though'the return is a
voluntary statement, any person
who wilfully makes a return
which he does not believe to be
true and correct in every material
matter is subject to the penalties
provided by law.
The first requirement of the
law is the filing of an appropriate
return. For individuals general
ly, this must be done by March 15
following the end of the calendar
year. The return must be filed
with the appropriate Collector of
Internal Revenue for the district
in which is located the legal res
idence or principal place of bus
iness of the person making the
return.
Under the present law every
single person, and every married
person not living with husband
or wife, having a total income
(earnings, together with other in
come) of $500 or more, and mar
ried persons living with husband
or wife throughout the taxable
year, who have an aggregate in
come (total earnings of both hus
band and wife, together with
other income) of $1200 or more,
regardless of the amount of net
income, must file a return.
Robert J. Harte, 23, Of
Inman, Selected For
Specialist Training
Robert J. Harte, 23, son of Mrs.
M. E. Harte of Inman, Nebr., has
been selected to become a special
ist in the Navy and is enrolled in

Naval Training Station at Great
Lakes, 111. Upon completing the
16-week course he will be el
igible for advancement to a petty
officer rating.
He was assigned to the school
after displaying an aptitude for
this type of work in a series of
tests taken during his recent
training. Upon gratduation he
will serve under veteran petty
officers in his specialized field,
receiving more practical instruc
tion and experience.
Nineteen of the 49 specialist
trades used in the Navy are
taught in the Service School at
Great Lakes.

O’Neill Native Pays
Tribute To Late
Captain Carney
Captain James V. Carney, U. S.
N., the first O’Neill native to die
in the service of his country in
World War 11, had a career that
was a hide-and-seek game with
death for twenty years. Upon
his graduation from Annapolis he
was selected to pioneer for the
Navy in extra-hazardous flying
tactics and soon became known
as the greatest acrobatic flyer in
America. It was said in 1934 that,
in the entire world, only Major
Udet, the fabulous German stunt
ace, was Captain Carney’s equal
in the field of aerial acrobatics.
Dive-bombing, maneuvering from
aircraft carriers, aerial-torpedo
ing, now so much in the war news,
were early fortes of the modest
O’Neill boy, who rose to fame in
world-wide aviation circles
through bewildering skill, nerves
of steel anl a total indifference to
danger. His pioneering work in
Naval Aviation will live in every
victory American flyers score
against the sky legions of the axis.
Fate decreed that Captain Car
ney die as and where he would
have wished to die—flying against
the enemy over the sea. For the
sea and the sky were his life—
and his home. **
DR. SPENCER RESIGNS
Dr. John E. Spencer, who has
been the pastor of the Presbyter
ian church here for the past two
years, tendered his resignation
last week and expects to leave the
middle of next week for Scotland,
S. D., to which city he has ac
cepted a call. Dr. and Mrs. Spen
cer made many friends during
their residence in this city and
their many friends wish him and
his estimable wife happiness and
prosperity in their new home.
Representative Of Office
Defense Administration
To Be Here Next Week
J. C. Coupland, examiner for
the Office of Defense Transpor
tation, will be in the assembly
room at the court house in O’Neill
on Thursday and Friday, January
14 and 15 to assist commercial
truckers prepare their appeals in
connection with their Certificates
of War Necessity, and advises
truckers as follows:
“A message from the Office of
Defense Transportation to all
truck, bus, and taxicab owners
whose Certificates of War Neces
sity do not provide sufficient
mileage and fuel allotments for
their necessary operations:
"First, estimate as carefully as
you can what your additional re
quirements will be, and don’t ask
for more mileage and fuel than
you actually need to carry on your
essential operations efficiently.
“After you have estimated your
additional requirements, proceed
! at once to request a change in
j your certificate. If you wait too
long to make this request, it may
be impossible to correct your cer
tificate before the end of the
period in which temporary trans
port rations may be issued.
“This period ends January 31,
but all requests for corrected cer
tificates should be in the hands
of the ODT long before this. All
requests for corrected certificates
will be handled as promptly as
possible. But the field force is
limited. A last minute rush of
requests would mean inevitable
delay.
“In order to make its field rep
resentative as accessible as pos
sible, the ODT is sending men
from its district offices into ap
proximately 500 cities and towns
in which such district offices have
not been established. They will
make their hedquarters at local'
chambers of commerce.
“Avoid filing requests for cor
rected certificates by mail if you
can. Much quicker and more sat
isfactory results can be obtained
by talking your problems over
with your ODT representative in
I person.
i "When you call on an UUT Held
j representative to make a request
for an adjustment of your allot
ment, take your original certifi
cate with you and be prepared to
: submit a description of your ve
i hide operations for the preced
I ing 30 days. The description
should include figures on mileage
traveled and fuel consumed.
‘‘If it is not convenient for you
j to visit an ODT field representa
tive, write your ODT district of
I flee for instructions on how to
make your request for an adjust
ment in your original certificate.
“If you are operating under a
temporary transport ration, the
amount of fuel allowed by the
temporary ration will be deduct
ed from the amount finally al
lowed you for the period ending
March 31.
"In applying for a corrected
