He was sen tenced to four years in the state penitentiary, where he was taken Wednesday. Farm Fumbling Program May Cause Hunger “Despite Pollyanna reassur ances ... it looks like a long hungry war,” says the Portland, Oregon, Journal. “Agriculture . . . hasn’t gone for . . . food subsidy proposals. It seeks instead what it terms ne cessity prices, that is, prices suf ficiently high to pay increased costs of labor, seed, fertilizer and transportation. It wants all arti ficial restrictions on food produc tion removed. It demands the ab olition of arbitrary and short sighted limitations placed on ag ricultural gasoline and farm ma chinery. “The decade of farm problem fumbling, experimentation, and bureaucratic bungling, a decade in which a 47,000,000-acre cut was made in 17 leading farm crops, isn’t over, it appears. We are still hanging on to some of our outworn crop-restricting regula tions. We are still picking at the food problem through half a doz en overlapping, oftimes conflict ing agencies. The . . . theorists are still in there pitching. _ Births Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Jurgens meier, a boy, Tuesday. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Frank of Verdigre, a boy, Sunday.

Penney Company, while the bride is a member of one of the pioneer families of the south country. The many friends of the young couple extend congratulations and best wishes. TWAS A BUSY WEEK FOR FIRE DEPARTMENT The fire department have been kept busy the past week, having responded to three fire alarms. The later part of last week they were called to the west part of town where the barn on the Bill Cuddy place was in flames and it burned down. Wednesday they were called to the west part of town again where a leaky tank wagon dripped some gas on the grass and a cigarette butt set both on fire. The fire was extinguished without much damage. This morning they were called to the Fox Hotel where there was a fire in the bathroom. The fire was soon extinguished and the dam age was slight. BRIEFLY STATED The employees of the local tele phone office gave a dinner at the M. & M. cafe Wednesday evening, honoring Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Mil ler; the new manager, Harry Pet ersen, and Mrs. Marsa Salmons, who has been an employee of the company for several years and who will soon leave for the west coast to make her home.

COPIOUS RAINS DURING PAST WEEK Last week The Frontier an nounced that we needed rain in this section of the state, and that he need was urgent. On Friday we had .87 hundreths of an inch, Saturay evening we had another good rain and Thursday morning we ha another, the total of the three rains amounting to 2.48 Iftches, and probably more to come. This rain has been a great boon to the fadmers and stockmen of the county. While some of the corn was badly hurt by the hot, dry weather, still there was a lot of good corn in the county, this last rain saving many fields that were not too far gone. In addition to the benefit to the corn crop it is of inestimable benefit to the pastures, as many of them had began to show the effect of the drought. Then, winter wheat and rye will be planted next month an dnow the ground will be in excellent condition for the seedig. Deloit Rancher Loses 39 Steers By Lightning Lambert Bartak, a prosperous rancher of the Deloit neighbor hood, is reported to have lost 39 head of steers when lightning struck a large tree, under which the cattle were huddled, in a se vere electrical storm last Saturday night. The animals are said to have beeri worth in the neighbor hood of $80 each, and were un insured. Cyril Peter lost two cows, which were killed by lightening in the storm Tuesday night. Urged Tb Prepare For The Future Unless far-sighted legislation aimed at post-war expansion of commercial aviation is enacted by the United States, “our present great aerial effort will be scat tered to the four winds of heaven and our national security will again be jeopardized,” says Col. Edgar S. Gorrell, president of the Air Transport Association of America. Pointing out that the Civil Aeronautics Act of 1938 had made it possible for the United States to build the worldwide air trans portation system that is proving invaluable in the war emergency, Col. Gorrell recommends the Lea Bailey Bill. “Unless it is enacted, and en acted wisely, there is grave dan ger that private flying will be crippled; the aeronautical train ing schools of the country* will go bankrupt and close at the signing of the armistice; the aircraft man ufacturers will be practically out of business for seven or eight years subsequent to the war; the airlines of the country will be subject to destructive compe tition; our nation’s largest indus try of today will be headed for the rocks of destruction, and our leading pilots, mechanics and other skilled heroes will be des tined to walk the streets jobless.” Col. Gorrell points out the great changes that have taken place in aviation since 1938. These changes are the principal argument for modernizing and making equit able the legislation and regula tion under which commercial avi ation of the United States must carry on and meet world compe ition in the future. Aviation Cadet Anton Toy, Jr., who has been at the Great Lakes Training station came home Mon day to spend a few days visiting his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Anton Toy, Sr., and other realtives and friends. On his return he will be transferred to Jacksonville, Florida, where he will enter an officer’s candidate training school. Dick Fowler, of Omaha, came Friday for a visit with his aunt and uncle, Dr. and Mrs, I,. A. Burgess. Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Birming ham returned Monday from Superior, Wis., where they had spent the past week vacationing. BONDS OVER AMERICA * * * For years our gov ernment has worked to improve conditions for our citizens every where. Bonneville Dam in Oregon is one of hundreds of projects erected for our benefit. Bonneville Dam Keep in Step Buy War Bonds In Russia the Soviets with the help of American Engineers harnessed the wa ters of the Dnieper River. Hitler’s Huns marched in and the Russians destroyed their greatest work of this generation. BREEZES FROM THE SOUTHWEST By Romaine Saunders Atkinson, Nebr., Star Rout* No. 5. I have been a consistent ad mirer of Thomas E. Dewey, gov ernor of New York, only to learn he has put on a soybean luncheon at the governor's mansion; and now I don’t know. Three large truck loads of cat tle were brought to Henry Knut zen’s Sunday from the Creighton country to be run on grass the balance of the season. Pasture ground in Knox county is report ed very short. The founder, editor and inspir ing genius of the old Omaha Bee took a bit at pride in being the most cordially hated of our citi zens. That distinction seems now happily resting on our honorable secretary of the interior, and it disturbs him as little it it did the Bee editor. Craftsmen, professional men, business men have lent a helping hand on farms at about every thing from hoeing beans to shock ing grain. Out at Olympia, Wash., a justice of the state supreme court has put on a carpenter apron and is spending his vacation as a helper in a shipbuilding plant Though he has been the great est spender ever in the White House, it is assumed Mr. Roose velt sets the ejcample when he says: “Curtail spending—put your savings into war bonds every pay day.” Maybe some curtailment of spending war bond funds can be effected without detriment to the war effort. Backfire from a power hay sweep set fire to the meadow at the George Withers ranch Friday. Some hay in the winrow and a stack of last year’s hay was burn ed. A number of citizens of Swan and Wyoming precincts hastened to the scene and the fire was brought under control. A. C. Wat son said he just got home from a fire far to the south on the old Mattock ranch when he heard of the fire at Withers and hastened thither. Mr. Watson reported there was 150 stacks of hayi burn ed in the fire he had just come from. The public was fed daily doses about the “new youth” and “new world order” during the upheaval 25 years ago. When that subsided humanity was back in the old stride of chasing the dollar, jocky ing for leadership, feasting and frolicing. “New world order” dreamers are with us again. We may look for nothing but what has been to bloom from the schemes of men. Among these schemes we hear of “freedom from want.” Is that meant in the absolute? A Higher Authority has said “the poor shall never cease out of the land.” In other words, there will always be some ‘wretch edly poor,” as the late Col. Doyle described them, who are in dire want. The dreamers have con ceived lofty plans, while the prac tical plow-horse type of citizen husbands his resources against tough times ahead. Maybe you have wondered what that thing called morale is. Here is a soldier’s definition of it: “Morale is the spirit that gete you when you’re out on the regi mental parade ground with the whole battalion for retreat par ade. Every mother’s son there wants to look as much the soldier as the Old Man does. Not another sound can be heard before or af ter the one-gun salute to the col ors or when the band crosses the field to a stirring march in the Display of the Colors. And when your battery passes’ in review be fore the colonel, you’re firmly convinced that there isn’t another battery on the field that makes as good a showing as yours. It’s the enormous feeling you know when you sit in the pitch dark before a pup tent in the field and watch the fort’s searchlight cut the sky. It’s the feeling you know when you can look across a great space and see long lines of army trucks moving along every road you can see. That’s morale. Just a matter of pride.” In other words, morale is just a matter of “face saving.” The residence of Joe Daas over at Chambers is about four blocks from his place of business. He covers the distance in his auto mobile, as others do the country over. In Joe’s native land they are better hoofing it than the Yanks. His parental home was 52 miles from Damascus. His father would walk over the Syrian hills to that city in a day. I have known the late Guy Green to walk across the prairie from his homestead in Wheeler county to O’Neill, a distance of 30 miles, in a day. It is probably not a mat ter to be argued that it is more desirable to be carted along on rubber tires than to expend the energy in walking. Before the in troduction of the automobile it was often either walk or freeze stiff on a long trip to town in the winter. Tfye passing of the ability Harry Petersen has been ap | pointed manager for the O’Neill exchange by the Northwestern Bell Telephone Company, suc ceeding J. R. Miller. Mr. Peter sen has been switchboard man for his company at North Platte dur ing the past several years, how ever, prior to that time he was manager for his company at Bro ken Bow and Sidney, and also held the position of wire chief at McCook. Mr. Petersen's family, consist ing of his wife and two children, will move to O’Neill in the near future, as soon as housing ar rangements can be completed. Mrs. George Rector Chairman Of Woman's Salvage Activities Last Thursday Mrs. Guy Cole, of Emmet, Statei Chairman of the Women’s Salvage Activities, ap pointed Mrs. George Rector of O’Neill as County Chairman of the Woman’s Salvage Activities, to fill the vacancy caused by the elevation of Mrs. Cole to the State Chairmanship. Mrs. Rector has been the AAA field woman and has an extensive acauaintenance over the county and will be a valuable leader in the Salvage collection ranks of the county. Milk Consumotion Increases In U. S. A. Per capita consumotion of milk and cream in the United States increased 5.5 per cent from 1941 to 1942 This information, iust re 1 leased by the Bureau of Agricul tural Economics of the United States Department of Agriculture, indicates that last year the great est increase in consumotion of milk occurred in the history of the dairy industry. Production of milk on farms is leveling off about the same as last year. As American armed forces abroad increase in numbers and the needs of the Allied nations become more acute, the demand from them for more milk in its concentrated forms such as but ter, cheese, and dir milk becomes increasingly pressing. “These con ditions,” points out Milton Hult, president of the National Dairy Council, “makes it imperative that everv means be used to con serve milk and all other dairy products. Every precaution should be taken to see to it that milk is placed in the refrigerator imme diately upon delivery, kept cov ered, and none allowed to waste. Tf acute shortages develop in cer tain areas, the neesd of children, pregnant women and nursing mothers and invalids should be I cared for first. Today milk and ! its products are in a front-rank position among the materials needed in the war effort.” It ig interesting to note that the per capita consumption of milk and cream among about 100,000 people in cities and villages is .91 pint daily. The national av erage consumption is .94 pint I daily and the average consump tion for about 30,000,000 people i on farms is 1.04 pints daily. Marriage Licenses Floyd J. Wilson, 24, and Miss Grace Leone Pribil, 22, both of O’Neill, on August 21. Amos W. Hoerger, 26, of Burke, S. D., and Mydna J. Ford, 21, of Englewood, Cal., on August 24th.

Like the chap who boasted that his grand sire drew a good bow at the bat tle of Hastings, I credit my father with having been a good walker. Maybe he learned it with Grant’s ! army chasing Gen. Lee across Virginia. In the homestead days he came in one evening from a five-mile Walk from town carry ing a sack of flour. You couldn’t ring up those days and say “come in and get me.” If you happened to have gone to town with a neighbor, and firewater and the town marshal laid him away for the night, you didn’t feel helpless if only five miles from home and I you had a good pair of legs.

Bamhouse Staff Sgt. Bredehoeft Again Attending College The Army now offers more edu cational opportunities than ever before, and Staff Set. Victor N. Bredehoeft of O’Neill, Nebr., is one who’ll share in them. He has been selected for advanced train ing after passing a special com petitive examination and a re viewing board of officers. Staff Sgt. Bredehoeft has left the west coast Ordnance Training Center at Camp Santa Anita for his course at Oregon State College, Corvallis, Oregon. This is part of the Army Special ized Training Program which is atempting to pick men who have demonstrated unusual ability out of the ranks and give them ad ditional training. Staff Sgt. Brede hoeft was assigned to Ordnance from his reception center after various preliminary tests showed that he was suited for the highly technical tasks of Ordnance, which originates, supplies, maintains and repairs all weapons, amu nitioh, and vehicles used by our Army. Staff Sgt. Bredehoeft, who at tended the University of Nebras ka. is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred G. Bredehoeft, living just north of town, and was employed by the Texas Bulk plant before entering the service. Prices Advance At Stock Sale Here Last Monday The heaviest receipts of live stock thus far this season were on sale at the local auction last Monday. Practically all classes shared in the price upswing and the market displayed an healthy undertone. Action was brisk un der accelerated demand and the expanded offering found ready outlet. Quality was somewhat better than in recent weeks tho nothing strictly fancy was here. The best steer calves on hand scaling around 475 pounds notch ed $13.50 and a considerable | number drew $13.00 and better. However, $12 00 to $13.00 caught ' most of the ordinary kind. Heif j ers topped at $12.50; bulk made $11.25 to $12.00. Lightweight yearling steers ' earned $13.10 on the best grade, | with the long end of the offering learning $11.50 to $12.50. Heifers 'reached $12.00 to a litle above; bulk went at $10.75 to $11.85. A scant few beef cows reached $11.50. Plainer grades placed in j kind found outlet at $10.50 to ; $ 11 .g0. Plainer grades placed in l the nines; canners and cutters ! ranged from $6.50 to $8.80. In the hog division prices on butchers were 25c to 50c higher than a week ago. Handyweights chalked up $14.50 for a top fig ure. Sows reached $13.50 on a few; bulk ranged from $13.20 to $13.40. The best feeder pigs brought $13.40. A few sheep were offered, but not enough to make a quotable market. The next regular auction will be on Monday, August 30. County Court Albert Garhart of O'Neill was arrested by Patrolman Walter on August 18 and charged with hav ing wrong number plates. _Ho was found guilty and fined $7.00 and costs of $3 10. Walter W. Olson of Fremont, was arrested on August 18 by Patrolman Walter and charged with speeding. He was fined $10.00 and costs of $3.10. Marvin A. Peterson, of Spencer, was arrested on August 21 by Patrolman Walter and charged with speeding. He pled guilty as charged and was fined $10 and costs of $3.10. Miss Maxine Golden returned Saturday from Columbus, where she had visited relatives and friends for a couple of weeks. Former Holt County Boy Drowns In Columbia River — i. ■ ■ i j Kenneth, the second son of Harry Sarchet, was drowned in the Columbia river at Camas, Wash. He and two other boys were in swimming. They decided to swim across to some willows. They had just swam a short dis tance when Kenneth said, “I can’t make it!” and his pal made for him. As a drowning person al ways fights for life, both boys were about to go down, when Kenneth let loose and went to the bottom. His pal dived for him un til he was exhausted and had to be taken home. They dragged the river and used hooks, and had the Coast Guards out, but all was in vain. Jimmy Jackson, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jim Jackson, came home and asked why they didn’t get a diver. But no one seemed to know where to get one. He said he could get one, so went to Van couver, a distance of 20 miles and brought back a man who said he could stay under water 40 min utes. He put on his best equip ment and slid from the boat, and in eight minutes came up with the body, which was lodged under a log for two days. The Sarchet family are former Holt county residents of the Dor sey area, and had just gone west about a year ago. Friends are sad dened to hear of this tragedy.— Lynch Herald-Enterprise. THE PENDULUM OF COMPETITION Figures released by the Depart ment of Commerce comparing the chain and independent stores dur ing recent years, and particularly during the past few months, should teach every lawmaker in the country a lesson—regulation and taxation should never be used to favor any particular group over another in a free competitive system. A few years ago a hue and cry was raised for enactment of puni tive tax laws against chain stores on the ground that the chains were driving compeitors out of | business, even though the facts belied such claims. Many state i laws were passed deliberately de ; signed to cripple or destroy chain store efficiency. But fortunately, the chain stores survived these ! legislative attacks. And now, ac ! cording to the official figures of ; the Department of Commerce, the competitive pendulum, the move ment of which no politician can predict, has swung far in favor of the independent merchant. In food stores in the first quarter of 1943, the independents’ dollar volume was about 30 per cent over the same quarter in 1942, whereas chain volume was off about one per cent. In the first quarter of 1942, the independents did 60 per cent of the nation’s to tal retail food business. In the first quarter of 1943, they did 66.5 per cent In 1933—ten years ago —their share was 55.0 per cent. The shift in the buying habits of the public is not the result of any drop in effeiency on the part of the chain stores. It is partly the healthy ebb and flow of trade that normally takes place when consumers are free to buy where and when they please. It is partly due to the war emergency and accompanying gas and tire short age which has favored the corner grocery. It is partly due to the fact that independent merchants I have taken a few leaves on cus tomer service from the chains’ book of success. Whatever the reasons, the fact remains that the chains, having passed through a period of spec tacular grdwth during which they lifted the entire distribution in dustry to new heights of efficien 1 cy, are now the stable foundation | of modern merchandising. In the | long run, independents and chains ! alike will prosper to the benefit of consumers—providing the pol iticians do not stop the pendulum of competition. FEED LOANS ARE AVAILABLE NOW J. O. Walker, field supervisor for the Emergency Crop and Feed Loan Office, announced today that feed loans are available. Mr Walker states: “The pro duction of food is vital: livestock should be finished before market ing to produce the required food and farmers whose feed supnly is running low should fortify them selves with an adequate supply l to finish the livestock they are feeding.” The feed loans are to be secured by a first lien on the livestock I fed, draw interest at the rate of four per cent per annum and are available to all farmers who can not obtain funds from banks and production credit associations on reasonable terms. Farmers in Holt county may i call at my office. First National bank building, O’Neill, Nebr., to make application for feed loans. Rev. and Mrs. Dawson Park de parted Monday for Nebraska City, called there by the illness of Mrs. * Park’s father.
