VOL. LXIII O’NEILL, NEBRASKA, THURSDAY, MARCH 11, 1943 NO. 44
BREEZES FROM
THE SOUTHWEST
By Romaine Saunders
Atkinson, Nebr., Star Route No. 5.
Listening to the country-wide
tune about rationing, we conclud
ed we are a nation given to much
eating.
A blanket of snow and temper
ature sunk to 20 below, the cold
est of the winter, started this
week off with a different weather
picture, blasting hopes of spring.
^ Two boys fight until both have
enough, step apart, glare defi
ance and resort to blood-curdling
threats. The big war has reached
the stage of great threats coming
from all sides. The beginning of
the end?
“At the very best,” says a no
table preacher, “a person com
pletely wrapped up in himself
makes a small package.” And
when a chemist gets through with
one of the great or near great he
finds he is worth about six bits.
It must have been some such con
siderations which moved Alexan
der Pope to ask, “Why should the
spirit of mortal be proud?”
The board of Stratford-on-Avon
put into the funeral oration of
Mark Anthony over the dagger
marred body of Julius Caesar a
bit of fundamental philosophy:
“The evil that men do lives after
them.” Up at O’Neill last week a
wasted life ebbed out. At death
we are fulsome in our praise of
most men for their virtues; silent,
dumb before the dead whose life
has been worthless. The one who
died last week, was accorded a
funeral at a morgue, at one time
at least recognized that he had
missed life’s better way. He ad
mitted as much to me. I knew
him as a red-headed school boy
who would submit neither to
home regulations nor the author
% ity of the school room. One day,
being reproved for misconduct by
Miss Agnes Connelly, a teacher of
lienient discipline, he walked out
never to return. And he present
ly shook the dust of the town
from incorrigible heels and was
seen no more in this community
for many years. Returning “home”
previous or soon after receiving
a rather substantial inheritance
from the estate of his deceased
parents he was encouraged to es
tablish himself in a small bus
iness, but a squandered life gave
no background for business and
stabilized living and the inherit
ance was also squandered. The
vagabond rarely becomes the pro
ductive citizen. Not intending it
literally but rather in the sense
of country-wide travel, I first
greeted him with a not uncommon
salutation, “You old tramp!” In
sober sincerity he said, “You have
hit it the first shot.” I have not
seen him in recent years—cannot
know what emotions, what asper
ations, what longings, what re
grets may have at last throbbed
out of the wasted years and raised
a hopeful vision beyond this vale
of tears. The evil that men do
lives after them—lives in lessons
to instruct the youthful feet to
shun the paths which carry the
careless on to life’s failures, to
ultimate despair.
In Bret Harte’s story, “The
Luck of Roaring Camp,” a new
^ born babe was fed the milk of a
" jenny. Holt county has a citizen
with the unique background of
being fed as a baby by an Indian
squaw. W. C. Gage of the Stock
men Hotel in Atkinson was born
on the edge of the Rosebud in
the Rushville country. Soon after
birth his mother contracted a fe-1
ver and for a few days his nour
ishment came from a cow. But
the cow died. An Indian squaw,
nursing a baby of her own, came
to the rescue, and with a red baby (
on one breast and a white one on
the other did double duty as a
nursing mother. Mr. Gage, en- i
joying the luxuury of a cushioned
rocker at his hotel, a bit of twin- [
kle in the sharp eyes of the prairie
bred as he told it, said, “I have
that much Indian in me.” His
father, John Gage, drove stage
from Neligh to O’Neill in the 70’s,
that being one lap of the stage
route from Wisner, the railroad
terminal, to Deadwod. O’Neill
consisted of a sod house and
twelve bachelor citizens, among
whom were John McCafferty, Pat
Hagerty, Neil Brennand and John
Mann. On one occasion, with two
men from Iowa as passengers,
when the stage pulled up at the
Yellow Banks for a meal and
horse feed, there were a number
m, of saddle horses at the corral.
Charles Wesley Clouse
Charles Wesley Clouse died at
his home about nineteen miles
northwest of O’Neill last Sunday
morning,, March 7, 1943, of a sud
den heart attack, at the age of 59
years, six months and 15 days.
The funeral was held Wednesday'
afternoon at two o’clock in the
Presbyterian church in this city,
with Rev. Vahle of Atkinson of
ficiating and burial in Prospect
Hill cemetery.
Charles Wesley Clouse was
born in Missouri on August 22,
1883. When he was seven years
of age his parents came to Holt
county, in 1890. He had been a
resident of the county ever since,
living practically all the time in
tha northeast section of the coun
ty. On July 8, 1906, he was united
in marriage to Miss Leah Gallen
tine, daughter of one of the pio
neer settlers of the northern part
of Holt county. To this union one
daughter was born, Mrs. Della
Johnson, now at home.
Mr. Clouse had not been in very
good health for several years, be
ing a sufferer from dropsy. His
wife has been very ill for several
weeks and Mr. Clouse was sitting
at the side of her bed when he
had the fatal attack and found
dead by his daughter, Mrs. John
son, about 4 o’clock in the morn
ing. We understand that he was
in town Saturday and claimed to
be feeling fine.
Charley was a good citizen and
a hard worker until illness com
pelled him to take things a little
easier. He had a host of friends
in O’Neill and Holt county who
will regret to learn of his passing.
Uncle Sam Now Wants
Your Brass And Copper
Spurred by the War Production
Board’s recent action in uncover
ing 600,000 pounds of allegedly
hoarded brass and copper in Om
aha, government salvage officials
served notice this week they are
intensifying all efforts to obtain
vital metals to keep war plants
at peak operation during 1943.
“Nebraska has set the pace for
the nation in salvaging scrap dur
ing the last year, and the eyes of
the nation will be focused on this
state again during 1943,” WPB
aslvage officials stated.
“Although copper has been de
clared to be the number one crit
ical metal of the year, the urgent
need for iron and steel scrap and
other metals which Nebraskans
so generously turned in last year
remains the same this year. Ev
erybody should start their collec
tions now.”
Speedy action by WPB officials
in requisitioning the non-ferrous
scrap in Omaha and sending it
within the next few days to cop
per plants is expected to result in
the uncovering of other piles of
dormant scrap throughout the
nation.
Requisition papers were served;
by the United State’s Marshal’s
office on March 3 to acquire the
warehouse-stored scrap from the
Western Smelting and Refining
Company, operated by Alpim &
Son of Omaha, and by the next
morning it was being loaded in
train cars. Through this action
Nebraska is expected to start the
flow of hundreds of tons of hoard
ed scrap metals into war produc
tion.
Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Graybiel
and Miss Ruby Weisman went to
Grand Island last Saturday to
meet Corporal Cletus Sullivan of
Camp Carson, Colo. He returned
with them and is visiting rel-1
atives and friends here. j
John threw back the warning to
his passengers that they might be !
in for a robbery. They had met
up with the Doc Middleton band.'
The stage was not molested, but'
Middleton learning that the peo
ple where they had just stopped
for a meal needed a horse, gave
them one of the best in his string,!
with the curt instruction, “Take
good care of that horse.” Men
heeded when Middleton spoke.
He stole from those who had
plenty and gave to the needy of
whom he learned. John retired
from the stage to settle farther
west, where his son, W. C. Gage,
now the genial proprietor of the
hotel at Atkinson, was bom. W.
C. had an uncle, Dave Dullaghan,
who organized and headed a lay
out of ten yoke of oxen with
wagons loaded with corn and
provisions and drove one thous
and turkeys from Stanton to
Deadwood, selling the turkeys,
grown fat by the way on insects,
to the miners. Deadwood, the
witchery and rough glamor now
faded, at that day was the El
Dorado of fortune and adventure
hunters.

Mrs. James A. Brennan
Mrs. James A. Brennan died at
her home northeast of O’Neill last
Friday evening, at 9:15 o’clock,
after an illness of four months of
anemia, at the age of 76 years and
15 days. The funeral was held on
Monday morning from St. Pat
rick’s church and burial in Cal
vary cemetery at the side of her
husband, who passed away onj
February 14, last.
Elizabeth Jane Casey was born
in Scranton, Pa., on February 20,
1867. When she was twelve years
of age her parents came to Holt
county and located northeast of
O’Neill, where she grew to wom
anhood. On January 8, 1889, she
was united in marriage to James
A. Brennan, the ceremony being
performed in Omaha, Nebraska,
where they lived for about one
year and then came back to
O’Neill and had been a resident
of the county continuously since.
Eight children were born of this
union, four sons and four daugh
ters, of whom seven survive and
all were present at the funeral
services except two, Frank J.
Brennan, of Iowa, and Dr. Louis
V. Brennan, of Memphis, Tenn.
The children are: Mrs. M. J.
O’Laughlin, Omaha; Walter L. j
Brennan, O’Neill; Frank J. Bren
nan, Iowa; James E. Brennan,
O’Neill; Mrs. L. W. Higgins,:
Omaha; Bessie D. Brennan,1
O’Neill; Dr. Louis V. Brennan,
Memphis, Tenn. She is also sur- J
vived by several grandchildren
and one brother, Christopher'
Casey, of Omaha, and eight
grandchildren, as follows: John
Robert Brennan, aviation cadet, I
Jackson, Tenn.; William James |
Brennan, second class seaman, I
Farragut, Idaho; Bernice, Vir- j
ginia and Eugene O’Laughlin of
Omaha; Terry, Joe, Mike and
Dick Brennan of Memphis, Tenn.; j
Mrs. Mary O’Malley, a niece, of
O’Neill, Nebr.
Mrs. Brennan was another of
the old-timers of Holt county. She
came here with her parents on
March 17, 1879, irom Scranton,
Pa., sixty-four years ago the sev
enteenth of this month. Like all
of the old-timers of the early days
she endured many hardships and
privations in the early days of
this county, when settlers and
neighbors were few and far be
tween. But she and her husband,
-who passed away only a few
weeks ago, persevered, raised a
splendid family of sons and
daughters, surmounted all diffi
culties and for several years have
been in comfortable circumstan- j
ces. Mrs. Brennan was a charm
ing lady and had a host of friends
in O’Neill and surrounding terri
tory. She had been in serious con- [
dition for the past two months
and her condition was such at the j
time of the death of her husband
she was not informed that her
loving companion of fifty-four
years had passed away.
Drive On Cattle Grubs Is
Needed In War Effort
County Agent Lyndle Stout has
announced the start of a cam-!
paign to control the cattle grub.
The pest of cattle causes the loss
of millions of pounds of meat and
milk each year. The control of the
pest is neither costly nor difficult.
While all the damage to this
year’s animals cannot be prevent
ed, there is still time to prevent
further loss of meat, milk and
leather.
The grub in the back develops
from eggs laid seven or eight
months ago by the heel fly. The
larva travels through the animals
until it reaches the back where it
emerges as a grub. It is at this
point that control measures are
applied. The treatment takes the
form of dusting, spraying or
scrubbing with cube or derris
powder, injecting benzol or hand
extraction. Directions for the five.
types of remedies have been pre
pared and may be obtained by
writing for Extension Circular
1427 on “Cattle Grubs” at the
county agent’s office in O’Neill.
GETS PROMOTION

first of the week that Lawrence
Rouse, son of Mr. and Mrs. How
ard Rouse of the Meek neighbor
hood, and who is stationed at
Stockton Field, Calif., had been
promoted from corporal to ser

lations on his advancement.

the same formula used to estab

trolled machine.
COMMERCIAL CLUB
ENTERTAINED RED
CROSS OFFICIALS
The O’Neill Commercial Club
held a very interesting meeting
last Tuesday evening. It was the
regular monthly meeting of the
Club and at this meeting the Club
had as their honor guests the lo
cal officers of the American Red
Cross. After the wants of the
inner man had been satisfied,
Chairman Cronin turned the
meeting over to Paul Beha, chair
man of the War Fund Drive.
Mr. Beha makes a good presid
ing officer and he, after a short
talk, introduced Mrs. J. P. Brown,
chairman of the Home Service
Committee, who made a short
talk regarding the activities of
her committee. Mrs. H. L. Lind
berg, secretary of the Holt Coun
ty Chapter, responded to a call
and made a report of the funds
coming through her hands during
the past year. Mrs. David Stan
nard, who is, arttt has been for
several years, chairman of the lo
cal chapter, responded to a call
and replied briefly, thanking
the citizens of the city for their
support of the Red Cross in its
various campaigns. J. A. Mann,
chairman of the Holt County
Chapter, responded briefly and
urged on, the people the necessity
of giving liberally to the call
for funds during the War Drive
Campaign next week, and told
briefly of the help given the res
idents of the county following ca
lamities during the past year.
Mrs. Steinmeyer of St. Louis,
Mo., a representative from the na
tional headquarters of the Amer
ican Red Cross, was then intro
duced and delivered an address,
outlining the organization, func
tioning and needs of that organi
zation during the coming year.
The Red Cross is the only organ
ization that has governmental
permission to work on any army
post, naval training station or air
base. It maintains a field director
right on the ground wherever any
man in uniform is stationed.
Whenever the service man is
faced with emergencies this field
director acts as go-between be
tween the individual and either
his commanding officer, or ar
ranges contact with conditions
back home.
The 1943 quota for blood plas
ma has been raised 40 per cent
over last year. This blood bank
has been instrumental in saving
a great many lives and much suf
fering among our injured service
men.
The Red Cross rendered val
uable service and spent large
sums of money in relieving strick
en families of Nebraska during
eight major disasters in 1942.
Under the Congressional char
ter granted the American Red
Cross it is a quasi-governmental
agency. It receives no federal
funds, but its books are audited
quarterly by the army and navy,
and the results of their audit pub
lished. Whatever the needs may
be, the functioning of our Red
Cross is done absolutely and en
tirely on voluntary subscriptions
from the citizens. The quota set
up for O’Neill and vicinity is
$3,000, and we are advised that
this is a very conservative quota.
Get prepared for someone to call
on you for your donation, and
help to put O’Neill over the top
in our drive for one of the most
worthwhile and humane projects
known to mankind.
A Former O’Neill Boy Is
Promoted To 1st Sergeant
Staff Sergeant Albert J. Rum
mel, who is stationed at the West
ern Signal Corps Replacement
Training Center at Camp Kohler,
Calif., has been promoted to the
rank of First Sergeant, according
to ar> announcement by Brigadier
General S. H. Sherrill, Command
ing General. First Sergeant Rum
mel, a resident of O’Neill, is the
son of Mrs. Florence C. Rummel
of O’Neill.
Camp Kohler is the Signal
Corps’ newest replacement train
ing center and thei only such post
on the west coast. The Signal
Corps is responsible for installing,
operating, and maintaining the
Army’s vast communications sys
tem. By whatever means neces
sary—radio, telephone, telegraph,
teletype, flags, rockets, or runner
—the Signal Corps’ mission is to
“get the message through.”
Jack Kersenbrock arrived to
day from Chicago, 111., to visit
his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John
Kersonbrock. He leaves the 25th
of March for Omaha, for his pre
induction examination for the
United States Army.
Planning A Garden
Many families in Holt county
are planning a vegetable garden
this spring for the first time in
many years. The county agent’s
office in O'Neill is endeavoring to
furnish timely information thru
the season which will assist es
pecially those who are attempt
ing a garden without recent ex
perience. This information is tak
en from experiments at the Ne
braska College of Agriculture.
With this year’s necessity of
producing food at home, many
families will be wondering how
large a garden should be large
enough to provide an ample sup
ply of vegetables for the family
during the growing season and
enough in addition for canning
and storage for the winter months.
An area of 100x150 square feet
should take care of the needs of
a family of five, but the size
should be varied according to ge
ographical location. If the garden
is to be irrigated, the rows should
be spaced 16 to 18 inches apart
and the space between the rows
kept free of weeds. If a family
consists of more than five persons
this same plan may be used, but
the length of the rows should be
increased 25 feet for each addi
tional person.
The garden area does not pro
vide sufficient potatoes or navy
beans for the family. The latter
might be included if space is
available, but it is better to plant
potatoes in an area apart from the
vegetable garden. Ground that is
used for potatoes one year should
not be planted to potatoes again
for five years.
Project Club Achievement
Days March 19 and 20
Home Demonstration Project
Clubs will hold achievement days
in Chambers on Friday, March 19,
and in O’Neill on Saturday, March
20. Two achievement days will be
held this spring in order to re
duce travel. Arrangements are be
ing made by Mrs. G. H. Grimes
of Chambers, county chairman,
and group chairmen Mis. E. A.
Bouska of Atkinson, Mrs. Alfred
Drayton of O’Neill, and Mrs. E.
R. Carpenter of Chambers.
Similar programs are being ar-1
ranged for each day, with bus-!
iness meetings and exhibits in the
mornings. Covered dish lunch
eons will be held. The afternoon
programs will include music from
local schools, reports of the year’s
work, the leadership recognition i
service by Miss Della Lewis, dist- j
rict home demonstration agent.,
Each meeting will feature Newton
W. Gaines, of the Extension Serv
ice, who is known to a great many
Holt county people.
Both achievement meetings are
planning a social hour following
the afternoon program when re
freshments will be served, and
those in attendance may have an
opportunity to see the exhibits
and visit with friends. Special in
vitations are issued to outside
guests as well as all project mem
bers.
Inman Boy Graduates
From Training School
Robert J. Harte, 23, son of Mr.
and Mrs. M. E. Harte of Inman,
graduated this week from the 16
week training course in the school
for machinist’s mates at the serv
ice school of the U. S. Naval
Training Station at Great Lakes,
111. He is now eligible for ad
vancement to a petty officer
rating.
The graduate awaits assignment
to the fleet or to an advanced
service school for additional in
struction. He will serve under
veteran petty officers in his spe
cialized field, and may obtain a
rating as soon as he is able to
pass the qualifying examination.
Nineteen of the forty-nine spe
cialist trades used in the Navj
are taught in the service school
at Great Lakes.
The Weather
This section had a couple of
nice snows during the past week,
j amounting in all to about six i
inches. The moisture content of
these snows will be of vast ben-'
efit to the ground, as there has^
been very little moisture for sev
eral months. The mercury drop-1
ped below zero for three nights
straight, and gave warning that
the time for planting spring gar
dens had not yet arrived.

O’NEILL SCHOOLS
WILL SPONSOR
MUSIC CONTEST
The O’Neill schools will spon
sor a music competition-festival
to be held on Friday, April 16th.
In the absence of the regular dist
rict contest, O’Neill school offi
cials decided to send an inquiry
to neighboring schools to ascer
tain if there were sufficient inter
est to warrant a festival type of
contest at those places. The re
sults showed that schools as far
east as Osmond and as far west
as Bassett would send a total of
more than three hundred contest
ants, and replies are still being
received.
At this type of music meet stu
dents may play or sing for rat
ings, criticism, or both at the wish
of their director. Judges of inter
state reputation have been se
cured. The adjucator for the in
strumental division will be Prof.
Edward F. Kurtz, head of the mu
| sic department at the Iowa State
j Teacher’s College, Cedar Rapids,
, Iowa. The vocal division will be
j judged by Prof. Paul McCollin,
head of the voice department of
Morningside College, Sioux City,
Iowa. Negotiations are in prog
ress to secure a piano judge of
like caliber.
Citizens of the O'Neill commu
nity are showing their usual en
thusiasm and support for the fes
tival. Individuals and civic groups
have indicated maximum support.
They believe with Dr. Knute
Broody, of the University of Ne
braska Extension Division, “that
band and choral clinics conducted
by recognized experts should be
held in several centralized points
over the state.”
Any school interested in secur
ing information concerning the
festival may contact Ira George,
| supervisor of music, at O’Neill.
|St. Mary’s Presents
The Wishing Well
For the annual St. Patrick’s
day program, St. Mary’s will pre
sent “The Wishing Well,” a ro
mance of Old Ireland. It is the
| story of the joys and woes of
Lady Mary Donnell, the last of
an old but impoverished noble
family. Due to financial difficul
ties she is forced to take in lodger
who turns out to be Sir Terence
O’Grady of Hitchcock Court, in
cognito as Terance O’More. No
reen, Mary’s niece, is a regular
match-maker, but definitely dis
likes Mary’s suitor, Squire Baxby,
the villain. The plans of the city
vamp, Maureen, are foiled by No
: reen, Terence, and—believe it or
not, the Fairies. All ends well in
the Wishing Well. Come and see.
