Elsie Marie Gibson
Appeals Alimony
Submission was taken by the
supreme court last Thursday of
the appeal of Elsie Marie Gibson
from action of the Holt county
district court, after giving a di
vorce to her husband, James H.
Gibson, in limiting the amount of
alimony he should pay to $1200,
which she says is just about the
amount she contributed toward
building their home. She also in
sists that Gibson should have
been denied a divorce and that
she should have a separate main
tenance. Gibson’s attorney said
that his wife was so jealous of
him that she demanded that she
go with him when he attended a
meeting of the county board, of
which he was a member, and
when he objected demanded that
he resign. He said that she was
nice and kind to his two children
by a former marriage when first
they met, but that after marriage
she called them little devils and
mistreated them. She retorted
that he was guilty of indiscreet
conduct with other women and
cruel to her. — Lincoln Journal,
of September 24.

Holt County Calf Show
And Sale Next Monday
Entries for the seventh annual
calf show and sale to be held in
O’Neill on Monday, October 4, are
coming in now and ranchers that
want to be assured of an early
spot on the sale are encouraged
to list their calves with managers
James Rooney oi4 Lyndle Stout.
Several inquiries have been re
ceived about the show and sale,
especially from county agents and
4-H club buyers. Their interest
would indicate that many 4-H
club buyers are intending to be
present to purchase the calves
with the minimum of travel.
The plans for the show are com
pleted and it is hoped that 80 or
90 4-H club calves will be entered
in the 4-H division. Several en
tries for the commercial show
promise to make for keen compe
tition in the classes. The show
will be judged by Joe Watson,
Cuming county agent, who hand
led this assignment so effectively
last year.
Premiums offered by the
O’Neill Commercial Club are lib
eral enough to attract ranchers
with good quality calves. The
public, and especially business
men, are encouraged to be in at
tendance for the show which is
very interesting.
Seaman 2-c Mary Jardee of the
WAVES, who has been stationed
at the Naval Air Station at At
lanta, Ga., visited her parents and
other relatives and friends in
Stuart and friends here over the
week-end. She will be stationed
at the Naval Air Station at Ala
meda. Cal. She was employed in
the county treasurer’s office here
for several years.
Edward Stein Awarded
Oak Leaf Cluster
The following appeared in a
special from General Headquart
ers in North Africa, recently
printed in a California newspa
per, which told of citations being
given three Californians by Lt.
General George Kenney, com
mander of the Allied air forces
there:
“The Oak Leaf Clustei went
to Corp. Edward G. Stein of 6916
Coldwater Canyon Ave., North
Hollywood, Calif.
“Stein was cited for participat
ing in an aerial flight from Port
Morsby to Bena Bena, New
Guinea, last February, when his
transport plane, unescorted and
at great risk to itself, took a spare
wing to “assist in the recovery of
a badly needed aircraft which had
previously been disabled.”
Corp. Stein is the eldest son of
Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Stein and was
born and grew to manhood in
this city, moving to California
with his parents about two years
ago. His many O’Neill friends
tender sincere congratulations on
his achievement.
Supervisor Joe Stein
Suffers Broken Leg
Supervisor Joe Stein suffered a
broken leg last Saturday morning,
when he was kicked by a horse
at his ranch home northeast of
this city. He was brought to this
city and taken to Omaha that day
and he is now in the Methodist
hospital there receiving medical
treatment. Late word from Oma
ha is to the effect that Joe is get
ting along nicely, which will be
gratifying news to his many Holt
county friends. Dr. French and
son, Dale, took Joe to Omaha.
“PASS YOUR
AMMUNITION”
Many lives were lost. A great
victory won. What did you con
tribute!
The big drive for old silk and
nylon hosiery ends October 1st.
All hosiery should be placed in
the hands of dealers by that time
so that immediate disposal can
be made by them.
Another big—yes, the biggest—
scrap drive starts October 1st for
the collecting of tin cans, grease
and paper. Tin cans include No.
10 cans and under—not galvan
ized. These cans must be crushed
flat before turned in.
“Grease the Wheels for Vic
tory!” An urgent plea is being
made now for all used waste fats.
Holt county fell way below its
quota for the month of August.
Let’s put it over the top this time.
Save all your waste cooking fats.
Pour into clean, wide-mouthed
cans and keep in a cool, dark
place. When you have one pound
or more, take it to your dealer.
Remember—fats make glycerine,
and glycerine makes explosives
for us and our allies.
“Out with the iron and steel."
Sell them, give them to charity,
or get your local salvage commit
tee to move them—but do it NOW
—minutes count in winning vic
tories.
PAPER is now in demand. Drag
out all your old newspapers and
magazines and tie them into sep
arate bundles.
This is a big job and every per
son must be enlisted in this cam
paign.

situation for all when he reported
“fair luck” after a day from home
on the prairie trails. Probably
all will go the limit in the end
and it is not for one who does
no more than I for his country
to say what others shall do.
Late September and no killing
frost in the prairie land, just
enough sifted from the bag of
winter to tint the landscape in the
red and gold and brown of early
autumn. The lordly cottonwoods
still wave the heavy green foliage
of summer, while plum thickets
are aflame with bright color. Day
and night are nearly evenly di
vided. From the glow of dawn
until the gloom of night a tinted
beauty across the land invites
our admiration. At evening time
the sun has left a splash of molten
gold above the prairie rim. The
Arab reckons his day from sunset
to sunset. God has given us an
other day of undisturbed peace
in a world torn and bleeding, and
we breathe a prayer for our boys
out there amid the cannon roar.
Night sets countless dots of light
across the heavens and the Milky
Way draws its mysterious band
of silver star dust through the
glittering host. The roar of an
airplane cuts the night air and we ,
sense again that the prairie
dweller is far from the scenes of
carnage though not left untouch
ed by its heart-bleeding tragedy.
Sons have gone out there from
the prairie land never to return.
Desolated homes are every where.
Nature, nature’s God paints the
land with beauty and the hands
of cruel men open the flood gates
of sorrow.
Among the news paragraphs in
the last issue of The Frontier the
name of J. H. Riggs appears. I
take it that this is Jim Riggs the
Second. The first J H. Riggs
was for a long time the editor of
The Frontier and one of three
O’Neill editors intrusted with the
iob of postmaster. Jim had the
heart and mind of a gentleman,
was cast in rather too fine a mold
for the rough and stormy pioneer
period, the harsh and vindictive
political fueds, coming when he
did from the mild and refined
culture of Eddyville, Iowa. I
struggled the hard way long
hours for little pay to complete
the apprenticeship in Jim’s little
back room printing establishment,
and through the lone years since
then have been priviledged to be
counted among the competent of
the craft in some of the great
plants of the country, but those
hard days in that little back room
remain memory’s cherished vis
ion. Country editors and print
ers were most always broke in
those days, but Jim also was al
ways sympathetic. Years later,
holding a guiding hand over a
more or less successful business
of my own elsewhere in Nebraska,
Jim came to me one day from a
nearby town where he was lo
cated. The former boss and for
mer apprentice had one of those
sessions that is more than a visit,
a communion that touches the
fundementals of human impulse.
That was the last time I saw Jim.
I shall see his son some day.

Holt County Lagging In Bond
Drive; O’Neill, Page Over Top
The Holt county bond drive is
lagging. The- Holt county quota
for the third war loan drive is
$866,400. At the close of business
Wednesday evening Holt county
residents had purchased $489,
295.90 worth of bonds, leaving
us short $377,104.10 of our quota.
O’Neill and the village of Page
are the only two towns or pre
cincts in the county that have
gone over the top. O’Neill, with
a quota of $132,585 has sold bonds
to the amount of $159,858, or $27,
273 over its quota. In this amount
the County of Holt purchased
$75,000 worth of bonds and
O’Neill’s share of that purchase
was a little over $11,000. The
village of Page had a quota of
$17,536, and they have sold
$23,924.25, so they have exceeded
their quota by $6,388.25, which
shows that the residents of our
eastern neighbor have been right
on their toes during the drive.
The drive officially ends Sat
urday night and many of the
workers believe that if all the
bond salesmen in the several
towns and townships of the coun
ty work hard during the next two
days that the1 county will be able
to go over the top, and thus take
her place, where she rightfully
belongs, up with the leading coun
ties in the state on bond sales.
Many of the townships of the
county, as well as the towns are
woefully low in the amount of
sales made and those in charge of
the drive will exert every effort
to have these towns and town
ships make their quota before the
deadline Saturday night. If you
have not purchased your supply
of bonds, now is tne time to
get them.
“The third war loan campaign
in Holt county is drawing to a
close, with a substantial margin
yet to be raised to meet the coun
ty’s quota,” states Lyle P. Dierks,
county chairman of the War Fi
nance Committee. "As yet the

who were shocked to learn of
her sudden death.
Mrs. Lucinda Rouse
Died Last Saturday
Mrs. Lucinda Rouse died at the
home of her son, Horace, at his
farm home northeast of this city

at the age of 76 years and one
month. The funeral was held at
the Paddock church near Meek,
Rev. Dawson Park officiating,

The funeral was very largely at
tended, which attested the es
teem in which she was held in
that section of the county.
Lucinda Godsell was born at
Austin, Minn., on August 25,
1867. She lived in her native state
until the year 1885. when the
family moved to Holt county and
located in the Meek neighbor
hood, in which section of the
county she spent the balance of
her life. On January 6, 1892, she
was united in marriage to Elmer
Rouse. Seven children were born
of this union, three sons and four
daughters. Two sons passed away
in infancy, leaving one son and
four daughters, all of whom were
present at the funeral services.
The children are: Horace and Mrs.
: Laura Wyant of O’Neill: Mrs. Ag
. nes Johnson and Mrs Hazel Lan
gan of Spencer; Mrs. Minnie
Sanders of Inman. She is also sur
vived by forty-two grandchildren
and two great grandchildren. She
: is also survived by three sisters:
; Mrs. Jennie Benton of Fremont;
; Mrs. Amelia Lott of Austin,
Minn., and Mrs. Delia Harrison
of O’Neill. She is also survived
; by two brothers: Claude Godsell
I of Rapid City, S. D„ and Adam
Godsell of Austin, Minn., who are
'eft to mourn the passing of a
kind and affectionate mother,
grandmother and sister,
Mrs. Rouse was one of the real
I old timers of the northeastern
part of the county and was very
active for her age. Until her last
illness she had been living on
her old home place, where she
busied herself with chickens and
her garden. When taken ill she
was taken to the home of her
son, Horace. She was a charming
woman and had a host of friends
in the northeastern section of the
couty, where she had made her
home for fifty-eight years.
closing date for the “E,” “G” and
“F" series of war savings bonds

department. Holt county’s pur
chase as of September 29 stands
at $489,295.90.
“Everyone who has not partici
pated in this drive is urged to do
so without delay. The solicitors
are working overtime in order to
make their contacts. You can aid
the solicitors materially and save
time for them if you make your
subscription in this third loan
drive personally by calling at
your bank and post office, and
when the solicitor calls on you,
tell him what security you have
purchased.
“We are stiil hopeful that Holt
county will raise its quota and
we are urged to spend every
available dollar in the purchase
of securities to meet our quota.
We trust that when this cam
paign closes that everyone will
nave contributed in this third loan
drive. Everyone should bear in
mind that this is a loan to the
Government which will be repaid
and that our contribution is a very
vital support to our boys on the
fighting fronts.”

sign on the east side of the Virgin
building on east Douglas street
Wednesday evening, about 5:45,
M. F. Kirwin fell and sustained a
badly bruised hip. The scaffold
was held by two step ladders and
one of them fell, causing Mike to
fall. For a time it was thought
the hip was broken, but an x-ray
disclosed there was no break.
While he fell only about six feet,
the fall almost put him out, as he
suffered a good deal of pain for
a while. Mike is getting along in
years and these falls are bad
enough for a young man to take,
but when up in years they are
pretty serious. He is in the hos
pital getting along nicely.
