_JL_ A
BREEZES FROM
THE SOUTHWEST
By Romaine Saunders
Atkinson, Nebr.. Star Route No. 5.
There is much clamor in free
America and very little suffering.
Under the heels of European dic
tators they are saying nothing
and suffering a lot.
The cigaret pack taking the
place of the family altar in a mul
titude of homes and the card deck
| supplanting the Bible, I wonder if
those silken banners “God Bless
America,” are anything more than
meaningless jestures.
Overflow from flowing wells in
Amelia, occasioned by drainage
ditches being clogged from freez
ing, caused some damage at Tom
Salem’s store, the water backing
up to and entering the south sec
tion ofthe store building.
Argentenia is coming to the res
cue of Yankee onion eaters. The
crop here being inadequate last
season to produce seed for the '43
plantings, 28 tons of onion seed
is being flown by airplane from
Buenos Aires to Yankeeland.
Idaho did not experiment with
amendments to the state’s primary
election law, but with one full
swoop has wiped the whole thing
out, and after ten years of the
primary goes back to the conven
tion system of * selecting candi
dates for office.
It is worthy of note when one
among us attains the age of a full
century. I read of a patriach over
in Burma, now more or less in the
news, who was born in 1825. For
all his 118 years, the children
about us have seen more of life’s
activities, as this aged Burmese,
Pu Won by name, has never seen
a railroad train, a motorcar, radio
*nor a city. And maybe that’s the
Reason he is still living.
Through the courtesy of an es
teemed friend in O’Neill of whom
I secured the book by the “lease
lend” method, a portion of a few|
long winter evenings have been
devoted to the story of Crazy
Horse, the Indian who engineered
the Custer massacre. The book is
by Mari Sandoz, the north Ne
braska girl who wrote up her dad
in the book Old Jules and is char
acteristic of the writer. Indian
names have a background in some
simple incident, but of the various
chiefs of his day—Spotted Tail,
American Horse, Sitting Bull and
others of the Sioux nation—Crazy
Horse had more horse sense than
the others. The book, written as
an Indian would tell it, and often
vague as to what happened or
where, brings not unmerited in
dictment of government military
forces assigned to deal with the
plains Indians more than three
quarters of a century ago.
“American farmers are going to
get enough food out of the ground
in 1943 to run the Axis into the
ground.” At the risk of being put
down a carping critic I will ex
press the wish that the foregoing
had not been in a document lately
received from the chairman of the j
Holt County Agricultural Adjust
ment Agency. Not that I am in,
any sense in sympathy with the|
aims or methods of the brutal j
* Axis, but we have done altogether
9 too much boasting of what we are
“going to do.” As to what the
farms are going to produce an
other season, nobody knows. Ifj
there should be another ’94 or the i
more recent “dust bowl” experi
ence—which we trust shall not
be—we’ll not have much to boast (
about. The Axis can be run “intoj
the ground,” but not by boastful'
threats of what we are going to
do. Plans of procedure on the
home and global fronts are neces- j
sary, but the less said about the .
formation of such the better.
Violent wind, loaded with prairie
debris, sucked at the grass roots,
rattled loose windows, shook dead
limbs from trees, rolled tumble
v/eeds into fences, drifted the cat-;
tie into the shelter of hay stacks
and kept most of us in the house,
during the tailend of last week.
The sun rose Sunday morning on
a scene of white glory, threei
inches of snow covered the prairie.
This is of untold benefit. The
ground has been bare most of the ]
winter, exposed to high winds
and temperature much lower than
the average for January. Sheriff
Duffy, with whom I had the pleas
ure of taking lunch a day last
week, recalls that this is a winter
, similar to that of ’94-’95. And
Pete has occasion to remember,

Flight Officer Earley
Receives His Wings
America’s determined plans to
crush the Axis in 1943 moved for
ward a long stride February 16,
with the graduation of hundreds
of fighter and bomber pilots in
Class 43-B, largest class ever turn
ed out by the training center at
Randolph Field, Texas, which is
the headquarters of the Army Air
Force Gulf Coast Training Center.
Included among the new fliers
who soon will be swooping out of
the clouds to destroy Axis object
ives is Flight Officer Robert J.
Earley, son of Mr. and Mrs. James
Earley of this city.
The graduates are divided
among nine advanced flying train
ing schools in Texas. All re
ceived pilot’s wings and some
were commissioned second lieu
tenant, while others were appoint
ed to the recently created rank
of flight officer, in ceremonies at
the respective fields. Flight
Officer Earley is a graduate of
Blackland Field, Waco, Texas.
Births

County Court
L. B. Hall of Neligh was ar
rested on February 15 by Patrol
man Meistrell and charged with
overload. He was found guilty and
fined $10 and costs of $3.10.
Clarence Hohlbeck was arrest
ed on February 11 and charged
with trapping muskrats out of
season. He was bound over to the
District Court, on a $300 bond.
Mrs. Mattie Soukup and Miss
Elaine Streeter took Master Ser
geant Francis Soukup to Norfolk
last Friday from where he return
ed to Camp Carson, Colo., after
a week’s furlough visiting his
mother and other relatives and
friends. He will leave sometime
in March for Washington, D- C.,
where he will enter an Officer’s
Candidate School.
as he says he and Frank Martin
rode his home range on the Nio
brara every day that winter keep
ing an eye on 90 head of horses.
The country at present is not
greatly in need of moisture. A
blanket of snow is one of nature’s
effective protective measures that
is needed at this time.
“Poverty is a state of mind.” I
wonder. If that’s all it is why not
imagine yourself a Rockefeller,
put on the airs of a plutocrat and
worry no more about the day’s
rations. But let us see what the
court of last resort says. Doctor
Webster thinks different. “Pov
erty—the state of being poor.”
And poor—“having little or no
means; destitute of riches.” That
brings us back to earth. We are
reluctant to admit to what extent
human happiness is dependent on
a full purse. But in another place
of authority I read: “Hath not
God chosen the poor of this world,
rich in faith and heirs of the king
dom.” Maybe that doesn’t mean
just the fellow with his coat worn
through at the elbows. But it does
mean there are riches which are
not concerned with the possession
of mere things. Whittier’s Bare
foot Boy “was rich in flowers and
trees, humming-birds and honey
bees” And those who are “rich in
faith,” who draw from heaven's
vast store house of spiritual in
spiration and the intellectual wis
dom of the ages, whose ear is at
tune to the voices of nature and
the poetry of life will have the
necessary share of material sub
stance.
James A. Brennan, Real
Old Timer Here, Passed
Away Last Sunday
James A. Brennan died at his
home northeast of O'Neill last
Sunday morning at 11 o’clock, fol
lowing a heart attack, at the age
of 82 years, 8 months and 21 days.
The funeral was held Wednesday
morning at 10 o’clock from St.
Patrick’s church. Monsignor Mc
Namara officiating, and burial in
Calvary cemetery.
James Andrew Brennan was
born at Memphis, Tenn., on May
23, 1860. His parents came to Holt
county on October 8, 1879, coming
here from Ladoga, Indiana, and
he came with them and spent sev
eral years farming northeast of
O'Neill. On January 8, 1889, he
was united in marriage to Eliza
beth Casey, daughter of one of
the pioneer families of that sec
tion of the county. Eight children
were born of this union, four sons
and four daughters, seven of
whom survive their father, all of
whom except one son, Frank J.,
were here for the funeral serv
ices. The children are: Mrs. M. J.
O’Laughlin, Omaha; Walter L.
Brennan, O’Neill; Frank J. Bren
nan, Iowa; James E. Brennan,
O’Neill; Mrs. L. W. Higgins, Om
aha; Miss Bessie Brennan, O’Neill,
Dr. Louis V. Brennan, Memphis,
Tennessee, who with their
mother are left to mourn the pass
ing of a kind and; loving husband
and father. He is also survived by
one sister, Miss Anna Brennan, of
Omaha, and several nephews and
nieces.
Mr. Brennan had been enjoying
good health and for a man of his
age was very active. He was in
town the latter part of the week
feeling especially good. The
morning of his death he had been
outside and done the morning
chores and returned to the house,
and a short time thereafter suf
fered a heart attack, passing
away a short time afterwards.
James A. Brennan was one of the
real old pioneers of the county.
Coming here with his parents, 64
years ago this fall, he had been a
resident of Holt county since that
time, with the exception of two
years spent in Omaha. He was a
splendid citizen, a kind and lov
ing husband and father, a good
neighbor and a loyal friend. The
esteem in which he was held in
this city and county was evidenc
ed by the large attendance at his
funeral, when practically the en
tire northeast section of the coun
ty were in attendance to pay their
last tribute to their departed
friend and neighbor.
The following relatives from
out of the city were here to at
tend the funeral: Mr. and Mrs.
M. J. O’Loughlin and children,
Omaha; Mr. and Mrs. L. W. Hig
gins, Omaha; Miss Anna Brennan,
sister, and Ed Brennan, nephew,
Omaha; Dr. and Mrs. Louis Bren
nan and children, Memphis, Tenn.

St. Mary’s Lost Two
Close Ones Past Week
The St. Mary’s Cardinals bask
etball squad journed to Ewing last
Friday where they had a game
with the Ewing Tingers.
The first quarter showed both
teams trying to feel each other
out and the score at the end of
the quarter was Ewing 7, Cardin
als 6.
In the second quarter both
teams went along like the first,
with both playing good ball
and the halftime score still fav
ored Ewing 12 to 11.
The third quarter was worse for
the Cardinals but better for the
Tigers as they outscored the Card
inals 4 points to 2 to take the first
decisive lead of the game.
In the last quarter the Cardinals
seemed to hit their stride and
they tied it up at 21 all with
about two minutes left to play, but
then Ewing made a basket and a
free throw to cinch the game 24
to 21.
Gallagher, Froelich, Kelly and
Grady scored all the points for the
Cardinals, "With Gallagher and
Grady scoring 10 and 6 points, res

Wallace led the scoring with
Campbell and Willson playing thq
best floor game.
Sunday afternoon the Cardinals
made another trip to Spalding,
where they had a game with the
Shamrocks from Spalding Acad
emy.
The Cardinals seemed to find
the basket hard to hit and missed
many shots. The game was inter
esting and exciting but the Card
inals just couldn’s seem to get
going and lost 37 to 26.
Bill Kelly, Gallagher and Froe
lich led the scoring for St. Mary’s,
Kelly and Gallagher connecting
for six points each, while Froelich
made four and also played the
best floor game. Kelly and Ray
did the scoring for Spalding.
The St. Mary’s second team
kept on their stride and beat the
Shamrocks second team 22 to 18
Campbell led in the scoring while
Dailey and Wallace played a good
floor game.
The Cardinals next home game
is tonight when the Coyotes from
Chambers will play here. The
Cardinals hold two victories over
them this season and the Cardin

three in a row.
Mr. and Mrs. Delmar Young

Tri-State Produce Co.
To Be Reassessed
I. L. Watson, Inman, was named
special assessor by the state board
of educational lands and funds
Monday to make a special audit
of the Tri-State Produce company
of O’Neill. The board also ordered
the Chicago, St. Paul and Omaha
Railroad Company to show cause
why a special assessor should not
be named to make an assessment
of .51 mile of main track and .41
mile of side track in the village
of Thurston which has not been
assessed since 1938. The hearing
on this was set for Feb. 27. The
value of the omitted property is
estimated at about $10,000.
The board named the special as
sessor after it had been shown
that the Tri-State company on
March 31 had reported to its in
surance carrier that it had about
$50,000 worth of produce and mer
chandise on hand but on April 1
it reported only $8,200 to the
precinct assessor. — Lincoln State

When, Where, And How
Taxes Are To Be Paid
Taxes due on a return filed for
the calendar year 1942 may be
paid in full at the time for the
filing of the return on or before
March 15, 1943. The tax may, at
the option of the taxpayer, be
paid in four equal installments
instead of a single payment, in
which case the first installment
is to be paid on or before March
15, the second on or before June
15, the third on or before Sep
tember 15, and the fourth on or
before December 15, 1943. If the
taxpayer elects to pay his tax in
four instalments, each of the four
installments must be in equal
amount, but any installment may
be paid, at the election of the
taxpayer, prior to the time pre
scribed for its payment. If an in
stallment is not paid in full on or
before the date fixed for its pay
ment, the whole amount of the
tax remaining unpaid is required
to be paid upon notice and de
mand from the collector.
The tax must be paid to the
collector of internal revenue for
the district in which the taxpay
er’s return is required to be filed
—that is, to the collector for the
district in which is located the
taxpayer’s legal residence or prin
cipal place of business, or if he
has no legal residence or prin
cipal place of business in the Uni
ted States, then to the collector
of internal revenue at Baltimore,
Maryland.
In the payment of taxes a frac
tional part of a cent is to be dis
regarded unless it amounts to
one-half cent or more, in which
case it shall be increased to one
cent.
The tax due, if any, should be
paid in cash at the collector's of
fice, or by check or money order
payable to “Collector of Internal
Revenue.” In the case of pay
ment in cash, the taxpayer should
in every instance require and the
collector should furnish a receipt.
In the case of payments made by
check or money order, however,
the cancelled check, or the money
order receipt is usually a suffi
cient receipt.

No More Soft Maple
Seedlings This Year
No more orders for soft maple
seedlings can be taken this year,
the County Agent said today.
Word from extension Forester
Earl G. Maxwell is that supplies
of the variety, one of 18 on the
Clarke-McNary list for 1943, have
been exhausted.
Supplies of Austrian pine and
American elm also are low. How
ever, the 15 other varieties in
clude cottonwood, black locust, red
cedar, and many others that have
proved their usefulness on Ne
braska farms and ranches. All
who want 100 or more of the
Clarke-McNary seedlings for farm
windbreak or woodlot planting
should place their order now at
the county extension office.
