With more than 50 per cent of the nation's distilleries located in the state over half of the counties in Kentucky are dry territory. If you see a gent with hand raised, thumb and forefinger pois ed in a semicircle, that’s just neighbor showing neighbor the size of his potatoes. Of the one who would write an insulting letter without re vealing their identify perhaps the most charitable conclusion is to regard such as a part of that un fortunate class of mental neu rotics, moral cowards and dwarf ed souls. Starting from the scratch with nothing and hamstrung by govern ment handicaps along the way a marvel of poduction has been turned out by Americans. What wouldn’t have been acomplished if the brains and productive genious could have had a free hand. If the stories of craft, cruelty, deceit, butchery, barbarism and every evil impulse that throbs in depraved human hearts are true, the scourge of earth will sweep onward as long as there is a Jap left. And maybe the other Axis powers would like to have a hand in wiping them off the map. Through the courtesy of Floyd James I “rode the range” Mon day down into Josie precinct. Floyd has a three-hour trip three times a week carrying mail to the ranchers down that way and I accepted an invitation to ac company him on a trip. That sec tion is prosperous with fine herds of cattle, abundant grass, comfort able homes and substantial citi zens. Grey heads can recall when booted and spurred riders from off the prairies, a Colt six-shooter sagging at the right hip, lolled about the streets up at O'Neill. Something similar is still seen there only it is a policeman in uniform you run across. The early day gun toter was a friendly enough gent as is his successor in blue uniform, but either could put you in your place if occasion required, and no foolin’. Rationing is not a new thing, but quantities have been con siderably reduced in the lapse of centuries. Our first parents, surrounded by the fruits of a new creation, were given the generous ration card “of these ye may freely eat.” When the bedragg led Hebrew host floundered in the wilderness for forty years, every man jack of them were allowed a daily ration of 5.1 pints of “bread from heaven” besides quail without limit. Suppose you could eat a half gallon and one pint of rice at a sitting? The press is a worry of admin istration ciccles. Never have American papers and magazines, from those rolling off the great modern printing machines to our local weeklies, been so free of partisan venom nor so outspoken! in bringing to light what is going on politically and otherwise. Nor was the country ever so circular ized by official press releases and the sterotype plates ready to put into the columns coming out of these same administration circles. But it is only in America patriots can be at loggerheads with their fellows and still be happy. It is said Mr. Roosevelt frowns upon the proposal to raise the limit on corn to $1.40 a bushel. As there are more corn users than com growers I would side with the president in this instance, j And why should our congressional halls be turned into a board of j trade to cover the whole scope of market prices that traditionally have been subject to supply and demand. In the closing hours of i Grover Cleveland’s last term as president corn was quoted by the Nye-Schneider elevator in a little town in which I was at the time at a nickle a bushel. Some years previous Frank Toohill in O’Neill was paying 20 cents. There was j complaint then as there is now, i but we carried on and still have our heads above water level. Perhaps there are many others, i but attention is called to a few Holt county ladies who are doing things other than competing for prizes at bridge parties. Mrs. Guy Cole of Emmet ably heads scrap drives and other activities to aid in the national emergency. Her ( work and influence is not confined to the Emmet community but is felt in a broader circle. Mrs. | Blanche Pease of the Atkinson community is a busy farm woman who finds time to write an in-! teresting column in the Graphic as well as appearing from time to time in one or more state pub lications. And the Graphic edi-1 tor’s wife, Mrs. Kelly, has master ed the linotype to take the place of a jounrneyman printer, of Lowery-Peacock On Monday morning. July 12, 1943, at 9 o’clock at the Methodist church in Emmet, Miss Clara Lydia Lowery became the bride of Corporal Grant W. Peacock, Rev. Carrol H. Prouty officiating, using the beautiful single ring ceremony. They were attended by the brides sister, Miss Sadie Marie Lowery and by Richard Fox, a special friend of both the bride and groom. The bride was attired in a light blue wool suit with brown ac cessories and carried a small bible. The bridesmaid wore beige silk crepe dress with brown access ories. Both of the girls wore beautiful corsages of red roses presented to them by their aunt, Mrs. P. W. McGinnis. The groom wore his full dress uniform and his attendant wore a navy blue suit. After the processional Miss Ruth Harris, cousin of the bride, sang “I Love You Truly.” Mrs. Peacock is the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Homer Lowery and has lived all her life in Emmet. She graduated with the Class of 1942 from the O’Neill High school and was one of the honor students both in voice and in class. She taught a very suc cessful term of school in District No. 141. In the church of her choice she will be greatly missed both as pianist and singer as well as leader in all entertainments of the young people. me groom is tne youngest son of Rev. and Mrs. T. J. Peacock. Before going to the army he was a barber in the Brooks barber shoo in Atkinson, having finished barber school in 1941 in Lincoln. Since entering the service he has helped to make the path of many of the boys a little easier. He is a young man of sterling qualities and exemplary habits. After the ceremony those par ticipating in the event went to the home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. H. Lowery where a lovely wedding breakfast was served by three good friends to sixteen persons. The youn$ couple left on the midnight tram for Laramie, Wyo., where the groom is stationed and where he has a lovely apartment ready for the lady of his choice. The best wishes of the entire community go with them for a long and happy wedded life. ** Nebraska Will Use 1942 License Plates In 1944 Owen J. Boyles, assistant di rector of the State Motor Vehicle Department, makes an appeal to all Nebraska motor vehicle op erators to take special care of their 1942 license plates, due to the fact that they will have to be used for the 1944 licensing year. The 1942 license plates will be revalidated for the year 1944 with a new tab plate 2x2 inches, orange background with black figures. County Court Raymond Reisselman, of Butte, was arrested by Patrolman Meis trel on June 15th charged with overweight on capacity plates. He pled guilty as charged and was fined $10.00 and costs of $3.10. C. E. Burch, of Amite, La., was in the city the first of the week, visiting his brother, H. B. Burch and wife. Mr. Burch was a for mer resident of this county, leaving here about thirty years ago and since that time he has most of the time been a resident of the southern states. At the present time he is engaged in the newspeper business in his home town, being business manager of the Amit Progress. The Frontier acknowledges a fraternal call. Pfc. Luther Schulz, of Fort Sam Houston, Texas, came Mon day to spend a three weeks va cation visiting his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Schulz and other relatives and friends. Luther, who has been seriously ill, is much improved in health. which there is a present scarcity. Mrs. Alderson over at Chambers is filling the multiple jobs of editor, business manager, printer and pressman at the Sun plant and no vacation goes with the job. In another week some of our capable ranch girls will be guid ing a power hay sweep wth the grace and ease with which they ride a cow pony. From the grass lands of s. w. Holt to the grain belt north of the Elkhorn the country is a picture in shimmering green. Fat cattle are growing fatter on fat pasture and the hay meadows stretch to the far distance knee deep with a superb growth of native grass. Grain fields north of the river hang heavy for harvest and corn is making rapidly. Will Grothe just west of Emmet always has model fields of growing stuff. My friend Tom Baker remarked the other day as we rolled by Will’s fine fields of corn and grain that he knows how to do it. Mr. Grothe has made a science of crop production and his farm is a show place of a master of agriculture. From a discouraging outlook until late spring, weather and land is now transformed to already fulfil! much of the promise of nature’s bounties. Atkinson Station Agents Admits Shooting Himself Boyd W. Planck, 52, the North western Railway company’s agent at Atkinson, late last Friday signed a confession that lie had shot himself in a suicide attempt, and was not wounded by a grey whiskered would-be robber at the station, it was announced by authorities at Norfolk. The Norfolk Chief of Police, who obtained the confession, said the station agent stated he had been in poor health for the past: four years, and that he decided to “end it all’’ by shooting him self. He said that about 1:30 in the afternoon, after making out his reports, he shot himself, walk ed to the station door and threw away his revolver and then called Dr. Douglas. After signing the confession he said that he was willing to go to the hospital and he was taken to the state hospital that evening. Planck’s story sounded very fishy and there were many people in Atkinson, as well as’ in tnis city, who were convinced that he had shot himself, but until last Friday he stoutly maintained that he was shot by a would-be rob ber. — Hospital Notes Mrs. Laveme Stevens and baby dismissed on Tuesday. Mrs. A. E. Derickson, of Dorsey, admitted Wednesday for medical treatment. Mr. and Mrs. Martin Schmidt, of Ewing, a daughter, bom Tues day. Mr. and Mrs. Dwight Hammer lin, a son, born Wednesday.

Bomb-o-gram Messages To The President The third week of the July Retail War Bond Promotion will j be featured by Bom-o-gram mess-! ages to the President, according i to Nathan J. Gold, State Retail1 Chairman. Anybody who buys a $25.00 bond or more during this week; will be entitled to one special1 Bomb-o-gram blanks which looks like telegrams and have room for a fifteen-word message.

When the mess age has been filled in by tne bond buyer, it will be collected and forwarded to state headquar ters where all the messages will be enclosed in an empty bomb case and shipped direct to the White House. "We feel that many people have always wanted to write a letter to the President but have just never gotten around to it,” Gold said. ‘‘We feel that this program! will give all of these people a chance to buy an extra bond in July and at the same time get their message to the President off their chest." Lt. Norris Coats and family were in the city Tuesday after noon, on their way to their home in Stuart, where the family w:U remain and Lt.

Local Panel To Handle Price Ceiling Violations There has now' been organized* as a part of the Holt County War Price and Rationing Bbard, a Price Panel consisting of the fol lowing members: Ambrose V. Rohde, Robert E. Armbruster, L. D. Putnam. These members have consented to serve without com pensation and as a contribution to the war effort. The purpose of this price panel is to disseminate ceiling price in formation to merchants and con sumers within the respective counties or communities and to receive and handle reported price violations. Each local board will be pro vided with a complete set of price regulations which will be open and available to any person desir ing ceiling price information. The price panel will meet on Wednesday evening at 7:30 of each week to answer questions relative to price ceilings, to dispose of complaints as to price violations, and instruct consumers as to their rights under the OPA program. The clerk of the price panel in O’Neill will be on duty at all times at the offices of the local board. By making price ceiling regu lations available, there will no longer ba any basis for price vio lations through lack of informa tion, and all merchants are urged to make full use of this service. Rigid enforcement will follow closely on the completion of this program with all price complaints being channeled through the lo cal price panel.
