State Board Raises County Assessment In the assessment of livestock and grain for the year 1943 the local assessors and the county as sessor’s office returned a value for assessment purposes as follows: For two - year - olds, $625,736; $2,239,923 for stock cattle and $544,573 for milch cows; $87,026 for grade bulls, which resulted in an average of between $49 and $50 for two-year-olds; between $59 and $60 for milch cows; be tween $54 and $55 for stock cat tle, and between $84 and $85 for grade bulls. On grain, such as wheat, rye, corn, oats and barley, the assess ment was as follows: Wheat 60c, oats 29c, rye 40c, corn 50c, barley 41c. These values we approved by the Board of Equalization at their meeting July 10, 1943. An abstract of values of live stock and grain as set forth above was from time to time sent to the Tax Commissioner’s office at Lin coln, beginning with April 21 up to and including July 15, when the final abstract was sent to them, which abstracts were duly acknowledged by the Tax Com missioner and at no time was there any fault found with the average value for the different class of cattle or grains as de termined by the local assessors, the county assessor’s office or the County Board of Equalization, and on one occasion the county assessor’s office was advised that if those values were maintained there would be no trouble with the assessment of property of this class in Holt county. The State Board of Equaliza tion, over the protest of the rep resentatives of Holt county, under their prerogative under the law, ordered an increase in the value of livestock in Holt county as follows: On two-year-olds from $625,736 to $662,962, or an increase of 6%, amounting in dollars to $37,266. On stock cattle an increase from $2,239,923 to $2,463,068. or an in crease of 10%, amounting in dol lars to $231,145. On milch cows, an increase from $544,573 to $626,258, or an increase of 15%, amounting in dollars to $81,685. On grade bulls, an increase from $87,026 to $93,117, or an increase of 7%, amounting in dollars to $6,091. Wheat was raised 64%, oats 29%, rye 40%, corn 44%, bar ley 38%. The increase in valuations of stock cattle and grain made by the State Board of Equalization as shown above will be appor tioned out to the different ones having these items assessed in proportion that their increased assessment bears to the total in crease on the several items and their assessed valuation will be increased accordingly. The county officials have no other alternative but to increase the assessment of the individuals having the above items listed, as it is an order from the state board and must be complied with. The above and foregoing is to advise the taxpayers affected by this raise ordered by the state board as to the origin of the increased valuation, and the local authori ties could do nothing else than to follow the order of the state board.

BREEZES FROM THE SOUTHWEST B7 Romaine Saunders Atkinson, Nebr., Star Routa No. 5. If you are right you neet no defense; if wrong defense doesn’t make you right. A notable humorist said “All I know is what I see in the papers.’’ That’s all a lot of people know. At any rate, the 20th century Caesar held the balcony longer than the illustrous Julius and went out with a whole hide. Hot and dry in the southwest— good haying weather. Most of the hay is in stack? east of Amelia but considerable yet to be cut to the west. The grass is some lighter than last year. By the end of the week most of the hay ing will be done, should weather continue favorable. The morale of German soldiers has been kept at pace by lies about conditions in the countries of the Allies. Incoming prisoners to American camps are amazed that they have been fed lies about shipping and bombing of our cities. Resorting to deception to maintain a cause is an admission of defeat. This has been a summer for the locust trees to multiply. Some years ago Mrs. Saunders secured a few of these trees from her grandfather’s old homestead near Atkinson and the boys set them in the yard. Two years ago other trees came up from the wide spreading roots of these plantings. Now1' a veritable forest of young locust trees have sprung up about the yard, some attaining a growth of five feet this summer. The losses of last winter in dead trees have been offset by a larger growth this season. “For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy war: and in multitude of counsellors there is safety.” It is too big a job for one per son. None knew that better than the leadership of the Allies. Prime Minister Churchill and President Roosevelt with their staff commanders, have sought “wise counsel” on the conduct of the war in meetings here and abroad. The battle goes well for the Allies, but maybe the home front sags a little in Yankeeland, probably because of the Yankee prerogative to run his own busi ness, criticise everybody and an alyze the motives of his betters. The city of Lincoln has a con test as to which of two of its citi zens is the lawfully elected member of the city council. Rees Wilkinson was given the seat on many imitations. Now he is wag canvassing board which gave him a majority of four votes over the next man, who contested and has won in county court. Mr. Wilkinson appeals and in the mean time tho mayor and council have discovered they have a live among them, injecting some life into the ordinarily routine of a municipal council session. Mr. Wilkinson is an originator. He started more than a quarter cen tury ago the first exclusive auto mobile insurance company in the state and has been followed by the strength of the findings of the ing a fight to bring an indifferent traction company to a sense of its obligation to the city. Amid the tragedies and hor rors of earth, romance flourishes on a wide scale. Marriages, from the simple affair before a justice of the peace, to elaborate church weddings, are multiplying the country over. The national groom, like the national defense, is a soldier or a young man snatched from the security and pursuits of peace and headed for the world^s slanghter fields. The bride is probably devoting her talent and strength to some line of war effort. But they will have a taste of life’s rich existence and carry sacred memories as fate and duty takes each by the hand to lead them on their separate ways. “Love—what is love? If thou’d be tough thy heart must teach alone— Two souls with but a single thought* two hearts that beat as one!” The Roman bubble of inflated ego was fatally punctured at a critical time for the nation that had anchored its hope in a monu mental specimen of bombast. And so ends the amazing story of an Italian peasant who became infatuated and beguiled by a factitious light, which glimmers and glows in the gray of the dusk and dies in the black of the night. Out of the dust and ruin of old Babylon comes a warning voice to the pompous lords of men: “Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and ex tol and honor the King of heaven, all whose works are truth and his ways judgment; and those that walk in pride He is able to abase.” A she wolf with two half-grown pups were taken by surprise by Oscar Mellor Passed Away Monday Morning - - - Oscar Mellor died at a hospital in Norfolk last Monday morning, after a short illness, at the age of 47 years, nine months and three The body was brought to this city by the Biglin ambulance Monday evening and the funeral was held •from the Methodist church in Lynch, Nebr., Wednesday after noon at 2 o’clock, Rev. Dallas Wadsworth officiating and burial in Alford cemetery at Monowi, at the side of his mother who passed away many years ago. ’Oscar Mellor was born at Lynch on October 29. 1905. The family lived in Boyd county for many years and then moved back to the old home of his father, this county, settling near Redbird, where Oscar lived up to the time of his death. He was never a very robust young man and never moved around over the county very much, being satisfied to stay Hose to home and look after things there. About a week ago he was taken quite ill and was taken to a hospital in Norfolk for medical treatment, and on Sat urday evening relatives in this county wre notified that he was in a serious condition and they went to Norfolk, arriving there a short time before he passed away. Oscar was a bachelor. He is survived by his father, George Mellor; two brothers, Jess, of Stuart and Leon, of Redbird. Two sisters, Mrs. Martha Hartland and Mrs. Laura Halstead both of Redbird, and all of whom were present at the funeral services. _ Max Medcalf of O’Neill was one of the high-ranking contestants in the annual swim carnival at the Chillicothe Business College, at Chillicothe. Mo., where he is a student. Max was a member of the championship relay team of the North Club, composed of stu dents from Nebraska, Iowa, Kan sas and the two Dakotas. Mr. and Mrs. James Boyle, of this city, received word the first of the week from their son, Pvt. Donald Boyle, that he had safely reached Alaska, and that he was well and feeling fine. There are several Holt county boys with the same outfit in Alaska and he says they are all well and happy, i Donald was inducted into the army last January. Mr. and Mrs. James Curran, i living northwest of this city, re ceived word the first of the week that their son, Charles J. Curran, who is in the Navy, had been promoted to Yoeman First Class and that he had left the east, coast for overseas duty the latter I part of July. Mrs. Pat Harty and daughter,' Aim, Miss Bernadette Brennan and Miss Pat Brennan returned: last Thursday afternoon from Al- j liance, Nebr., and Hot Springs, S. D„ where they visited relatives and friends for several days. Miss Anna Clark, of Omaha, came Sunday to visit her sister, Mrs. M. R. Sullivan and other relatives and friends. Miss Dorothy Ryan returned Sunday from Petersburg, where she had visited Miss Elaine Oik for several days. Mrs. Grace Wilcox, Miss Veva Aim and Miss Beulah Siders vis ited Mrs. Brookhauser in Orchard Monday evening. There will be no dinner served at the Country Club this week.

Mrs. Rockwell, of Kearney, is j visiting her daughter, Mrs. H. D. ! Remy. Miss Noreen Murray spent Sun day in Atkinson as the guest of Mr. and Mrs. George Ohde. Tom Baker as they were having | a feast on the warm flesh of a young calf in a ranch pasture a day last week. Tom got one of j the pups with a shot gun, but the others are still at large for fur ther depredations. The life of a coyote— what is it? He is not i responsible for his existence nor for his healthy taste for fresh veal. There are plenty of rabbits to satisfy the hunger of the prai rie’s largest wildings, but as a youthful friend used to say of a charming young lady, they are hard to catch. Skunks and snakes take a toll of young chickens and extremes of storm or heat cut heavy into the fruition of our hopes. And so life on the land is one continued round of some thing. if not all pleasure and profit.

Bankers Again Asked For Aid The banks of Nebraska are again called upon for aid to more government agencies in carrying on war work. A bulletin going out from Nebraska Bankers As sociation to its membership bank ers, numbering nearly 400, asks for co-operation in helping the assembly of manpower for har vesting crops ana in the aid to small industrial plants producing materials needed for the war effort. In the government program, the work of organizing harvest help is done through 18 agencies of the U. S. Employment Service in co operation with the Extension Ser vice in the Department of Agri culture, while the Smaller War Plants Corporation operating out of Omaha is maintained to aid small industrial plants whose pro ducts are essential to the nation at war. Already many Nebraska bankers are serving on employ ment agency boards and all bank ers are notified to hold themselves in readiness to aid when called upon. The bulletin to banks also urges them to support the practi cal program of tne Smaller War Plants Corporation as it operates with bank customers. This notice to all member banks was in pur suance of the expressed wish of Nebraska banks that they be no tified of any way in which they could help in tne nation’s war program.
