Poppy Day, Buy
America’s dead of two wars
will be honored on Poppy Day,
when millions of Americans will
wear red poppies as a symbol of
remembrance and tribute.
Here, as in other cities through
out the country, flower girls un
der the auspices of the American
Legion Auxiliary will be on the
streets at an early hour with bas
kets of poppies. A large corps of
volunteer workers has been or
ganized by Mrs. Gallagher, poppy
chairman, to distribute poppies to
everyone in the city.
The poppies have been made
by disabled veterans at Lincoln,
who have been working at their
beds and in the hospital work
room during the winter and
spring. This occupation has help
ed them pass the local hospital
days pleasantly, has enabled them
to earn money and has been val
uable in promoting recovery.
While distributing the memor
ial flowers, the Auxiliary women
will receive contributions for the
Legion and Auxiliary rehabilita
tion and welfare funds. All of the
money contributed will go into
these funds, the Auxiliary work
ers serving without pay. Poppy
contributions form an important
part of the funds which support
the vast humanitarian efforts of
the Legion and Auxiliary fpr the
disabled veterans, and children
of the dead and disabled of both
wars.
More than 13,000.000 poppies
were distributed by the Auxiliary
last year and the number worn
this year is expected to be sub
stantially larger. The local Aux
iliary Unit is prepared to supply
a poppy to everyone in the city,
and believes there will be but few
who will fail to honor the war
dead and aid living war victims
by wearing the little red flower
of remembrance.

Aged Holt County Lady
Answers Final Call
Clara Maria Brion was born
January 1, 1853. at Pine Creek,
Pennsylvania, and died at her
home in Emmet. Nebr., on May
14, 1943, at the age of 90 years,
four months and 14 days.
The funeral was held in the
Methodist church in Emmet last
Saturday afternoon at 2:30. being
conducted by Rev. T. J. Peacock,
and interment was in Prospect
Hill cemetery north of this city,
at the side of her husband, who
passed away on May 25, 1904.
Five of her grandsons and an old
friend. W. P. Dailey, were the
pallbearers. The funeral was
largely attended.
Her girlhood was spent in
Pennsylvania and New York, un
til her marriage to Rev. George
F. Cole at Addison, New York,
on April 23, 1871. He being a
Methodist minister held pastor
ates in many places before com
ing to Nebraska in 1880. To this
union six children were born, of
which five are yet living. They
are: Arthur L., of Sundance,
Wyo.; Mrs. P. W. McGinnis, Guy
F., and Mrs. H. H. Lowery, of
Emmet, Nebr., and Mrs. Esther C.
Harris of O’Neill, Nebr.; also one
foster daughter, Mrs. Ada Johns
ton of Deloit, Iowa. One son.
Dean E., preceded her in death
in May 1927. Her husband passed
away on May 25, 1904.
Mrs. Cole came to this county
with her husband in 1884. Her
husband was pastor of the Meth
odist church in Ewing for several
years and also pastor of the Meth
odist church in Inman. In the
spring of 1903 they came to
O’Neill and settled on a farm
about three miles west of this
city, where they lived at the time
of his death. After his death she
lived for a couple of years in
Wyoming and then came back to
Holt county and for the past 36
years she made her home at Em
met. She was one of the real pio
neers of the county and endured
many cf the hardships of the
early pioneers of the county.
She leaves to mourn her pass
ing, her sons and daughters, two
sisters, Mrs. Vira Winship of Lin
coln. Nebr., and Mrs. Isabel Dav
is of Kansas City, Mo.; nineteen
grandchildren, thirteen great
grandchildren, many nieces and
nephews and a host of friends.
She was a faithful church mem
ber and a Christian of the finest
type, one whose example made
Christianity attractive to others.
No wayfarer was ever turned
away from her door unfed or un
clothed. Her own interests were
always put in the background
when someone needed help. One
seeking her counsel found in her
a sea of calmness in a turbulent
world.
One of her favorite Bible quo
tations was. “Whatsoever ye do,
do it heartily as unto the Lord;'’
Making something sublime of the
lowliest task by dedicating it to
God. In the home where she was
a loving mother she will be great
ly missed.
" We thank you, Mother, for a
life as pure as snow,
For a care unfailing as the
earth, or sun or stars of night.
We thank you for a love as sure
as circling winds or sky.
And last of all for going on, a
clear, a living light.

1881 with his parents and had
been a resident of this county
since that time. He never married
and made his home with his par- j

Lawrence, and family. He had
always enjoyed good health until
late last fall when he complained
of not feeling well. About the

for medical treatment and was in
a hospital there for two weeks,
receiving medical treatment, and

for the past thirty-five or forty

Farm Loan Problem To
Be Handled Locally
Volunteer representatives in
each town in Holt county are re
porting to County Agent Lyndle
R. Stout that they are receiving
very few requests from farmers,
for hired help. In a case or two!
they were unable to place men i
who are wanting farm work.
Notice has been received that
90 percent of the farm labor for
haying and harvest will have to
be recruited locally, as the num
ber of transient laborers will be
small this year. Registration of
non-farm youth in high schools
for farm work has started.
A volunteer labor organization
operating with the county agent’s
office as a clearing house has been
completed. Farmers and ranchers
are urgently requested to make
their labor needs, for both the
present and the future, known to
their local representatives in or
der that available labor will be
able tc find a job. Registering
farm labor needs with these rep
resentatives will help consider
ably in assisting in tne most ef
ficient use of labor available. Reg
ister your labor needs with one of
the following representatives:
Stuart: A. C. Berner, at Stu
art creamery; Atkinson: Claude;
Humphreys, at Humphreys shoe j
shop; O’Neill: Lyndle R. Stout,
at county agent’s office; Cham
bers: Louis Harley, at the Harley
