Neb. State Historical Society The Frontier I " LXIV O’NEILL, NEBRASKA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1943 NO. 28 Ed Hall Purchases Local Sale Barn A bus ness deal was consuma ted in this city the latter part of the week whereby Ed Hall pur chased the O’Neill Livestock Com mision company and will take possession the first of December. Mr. Hall has been engaged in the ranching business for several years and has been very suc cessful. At the present time he is living on his ranch northwest of this city, but he will dispose of his live stock and farm machin ery at a sale next Tuesday and will move to this city so that he can give his personal attention to the business at the stock yards. His experience in the cattle, sheep and horse business for sev eral years gives him the necessary experience for this business and we predict that he will make a success of the O’Neill Livestock Commission Company, as he has of his livestock ventures. Mr. Hall informs us that he will retain all of the same employees at the sale yard and that tne bus iness will be carried on under his ownership the same as it has been under the present manage ment, which insures the continu ation of a first class sales barn in this city. Mr. Hall says that he will do his best to render the same efficient service that the public have been receiving and will ap preciate their business in the future. For several years the O’Neill Livestock Commission company has been operated by John Berri gan, Joe Gallagher and Cliff Ray. These men made the market one of the outstanding ones in north central Nebraska. All of these gentlemen have other business interests which demand their at tention and for this reason they disposed of the market. A TRIBUTE IN MEMORY OF JACOB K. ERNST This community was saddened by the sudden death of our old time friend, Jake K. Ernst, who passed away after a brief illness. He was a great organizer, inter ested in the community affairs and was the possessor of a fine sense of humor. His disposition is best described as jolly. He was a big hearted man, one who took a sincere interest in those who had found life rough and who helped to make the way easier for them to walk. Mr. Ernst, a man of stout build, with a hearty laugh and a fund of stories and who would often be found surrounded by his numerous friends, fasci nated by his brilliant wit and his personality. He enjoyed company, delghted in conservations, always willing to express his views when ever somethng tickled his fancy or stirred his emotion. We would gather around him to listen to his narratives, eager for some of his witty comments. There was nothing in his make-up to make anyone shy with him. The es teem and the affection of his many friends in a vast commun ity was demonstrated last Sunday by the large concourse of old friends and neighbors who accom panied him to his last resting place. This is the way we will always remember J. K. The family has the sympathy of a vast number of friends that payed homage to a worthy husband and father. E. E. CARD OF THANKS We desire to express our sin cere thanks to the many kind friends and neighbors for their many acts of kindness and sym pathy extended following the death of our beloved mother, Mrs. Ellen Jane Enders.—Her Children. The Cactus Club The Cactus Club met with Mrs. Francis Curran on November 11, witih eight members and three guests present. Mrs. Henry Martin called the meeting to order, after the cover ed dish luncheon had been served. The Green Light, L. B. 295, a bill passed to enable counties or groups of counties to establish local public health departments, was the topic of the day. Many years ago an English statesman pointed out that “the health of the people is really the foundation upon which all their happiness' and all their powers as a state depend. (Desraeli, 1796). With Nebraska lagging in the development of a health program for the protection of its citizens, and our soldier boys coming back from foreign lands with tropical diseases, which may become epi demics, well organized health ser vices are essential. Therefore let us do our part in the develop ment of this bill. The next meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. Arthur O’Neill on December 2. Marriage Licenses Otto C.

"COULD THAT MEAN US?". _ _— \ / \ BREEZES FROM I THE SOUTHWEST By Romaine Saunders j Atkinson, Nebr., Star Rt. No. 5 Youth expresses it in song or a whistle; age talks to themselves. It requires about 100,000 tons of tobacco yearly to supply the smokers in Great Britian. It is admitted that the senators from eight southern states can defeat the wishes of the other forty states by talking the poll tax bill to death, Mar. Farley’s observations on election trends is a classic. “The people are tired of being pushed around.” Too many fuehrers scattered across the country. One penny was a day’s wage in the time of the Ceasars. The Homan penny was equal in, value to 17 cents from the U. S. mint. That would hire a Yankee union man 7 minutes and 50 seconds. Secretary of the Navy Knox regards the talk about this being the last war as a delusive dream. Cold realities are not popular but the peace makers may as well enjoy their dream while it lasts. Charles A. Lindberg is carry ing on experiments with Henry Ford on a new type of engine for the motive power of a huge transport plane for high altitude flying which Ford plans to turn out in quantities “after the war" to furnish jobs. It is not stated who is going to buy them. According to the published re port of the chairman of the War Fund campaign. Swan and Deloit precincts were the only slackers in the county. Swan was short about $20 of the goal set for it, Deloit slightly more. If our sol icitators will drive these prairie trails again the rebuke to our lib erality can be rebuked. Like the open space from which a-tooth has been extracted, a cav ity now shows on the main boul evard in Amelia where was the home of the late Rhcdy Adams. A bomb was not dropped, but the building w'as taken over by the Bethany church group of Wyom ing precinct, out of which to fur nish a residence for their pastor. “And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spoke of them. But when they sought to lay hands on him they feared the multitude.” The multitude, humanity in the aggregate, men and madams of every known de gree of quality, cultured and un couth—Homo in the mass. It doesn’t know its strength. It could have prevented every tragedy from the cross to Pearl Harbor. When something of which he did not approve was brought to the attention of my maternal grand father he epitomized the attitude of the multitude in few words, “Such doin’s aint right.” That’s about as far as we go. If words of disapproval were accompanied by the giant clutch of the multi tude the men responsible for this mighty scourge of war would be crushed to earth. Recent events in the southwest — Baker, Freidrich, Berry and White have quantities of wood sawed. Kennedy has butchered. Road Boss Doolittle has had the road graded along the Breezes premises. A small pile of saw dust caught fire at Freidrich’s, re ducing to ashes some stove wood. Addison and Rockford have mar keted cattle and sheep in Omaha. A truck load of turkeys has been shipped out. Henry Clark, a bachelor across in Garfield county, lost his house and contents by fire. Duane Bly, a Chambers high school student, spent a day in a dentist’s chair in Atkinson. Kennedy shot an overgrown skunk that was taking a nap in the hollow of a fallen tree where it had feasted on one of Riley’s albino turkeys. Mrs. Tom Baker reports the loss in a recent storm of a 12-year-old hen that daily sought admittance to the house and left a fresh egg in a cushion ed rocking chair. An hour before daybreak. A full November moon is hung in gilded glory high above earth’s western rim. Jewels sparkle un der foot and frost lays like a dim shroud across the land. An owl perched on a post contin ues his oration, a rooster arouses his harem by lusty crowing, the chill in the air, the expanses of a cloudless sky, the huge hulk of buildings and ghostly apparations outlined in the dim light. Morn ing comes again on the prairie land. Late afternoon, A band of white vapor high overhead has formed a cloud that streaks through the sky the length of Holt county’s 60 miles from De loit to Dustin. A giant locomo tive has roared in the heavens and left a trail of smoke. It lingers for an hour and then be comes the fantastic shapes of the gods of the ancients. Sunset. A sunset viewed through the blue haze over Judean hills that in I Brother of Mrs. M. A. Summers Passes Away Mrs. M. A. Summers received a telegram last week from Omaha announcing the death of her brother, James Cruicshank, who ; passed away suddenly at his home there.

Spindler reported the missle passed through the trucks end gate and floor and dented the car spring a few feet from where he lay. The hard metal covered bullet, blunt nosed, nearly three inches long and with a three quarter inch base, was found on tne running board, Spindler said. Another bullet, not found, struck an old store building nearby, Duffy re ports Spindler as saying. The sheriff notified the Federal Bureau of Investigation at Omaha of the incident..

Cron Stannard returned last Thursday from Denver, Colo., where he had been employed, to visit the home folks for a time. spired the sweet singer of Israel may have been comparable to the transcending charm of the gold and pink tints of a like scene on the Nebraska prairie. With changes havirtg been made in our national life may be our anthem is not to survive. Is the militant Star-Spangled Ban ner on the way out? I hope not. Objection to it is raised on the allegation that it is diffcult to sing. Maybe so. Anything is difficult for a people who never sing. The Indianapolis Times has been moved to raise a battle cry for our great national song. Listen: “The nation of which it is the anthem was difficult to establish. It was difficult for the Pilgrim Fathers to land on a stern and rock-bound coast. It was difficult for Daniel Boone to make a path in the wilderness. It was diffi cult for George Washington and his barefoot soldiers to hold on at Valley Forge. It was difficult for the pioneers to trek across ! the great plains, bearing their children and burying their dead by the wayside. It was difficult for Lincoln to save the Union. It was difficult for men and women to build a new south out of the ashes of Reconstruction. “It was difficult to send 3,000 000 men across the seas in 1917 and 1918. It was difficult to es tablish women’s rights, and child ren’s rights, and labor’s rights and farmers’ and businessmen’s rights in this land. It is difficult to maintain political democracy against selfishness, divisions and bossism. The way of dictatorship is the easy way, the American way is the hard way, and ever will be. “America is difficult, but glori ous with a beauty that is the re ward of difficulty. So her na tional anthem should be, and is. “No easy tune from Tin-Pan Alley is worthy of this nation. “The Star-Spangled Banner is 'too high.’ Of course it is high, i like the aims of this country. High like the cost of being an American. High, but not too high. “Let us learn this heart-lifting song, difficult though it is. It is little enough to do for our be loved nation, bought for our en joyment by heroes, great and humble, at the price of so much difficulty, past, present and to come. ‘And the Star-Spangled Banner in triumph shall wave O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.’ ” County Court Fred Gren was arrested on No | vember 14 by Patrolman Walter and charged with havin wrong number plates.

Otto Lorenz Suffers Accident Saturday Otto Lorenz, prominent farmer living just west of this city, met with a peculiar and serious acci dent last Saturday morning, that may cost him the use of his right eye. Mr. Lorenz was sacking alfalfa seed and was using a piece of barb wire to tie the sacks. While tieing a sack the wire slipped from his hand and struck him in the right eye, entering under his glasses, which he was wearing at the time. The end of the wire penetrated the eye ball. He was taken to Norfolk that afternoon for medical treatment, but so far we have heard no reports as to how he is getting along.

Ernst was held last Sunday afternoon from the Presbyterian church in O’Neill, Rev. Ohmart officiating, and burial in Prospect Hill ceme tery. The funeral was one of the largest ever seen in this city, , friends and neighbors coming for many miles to pay tribute to the memory of their departed friend, and it can be said that not many I in Holt county had more friends I than did Jake E. Ernst, for every | one who ever knew him was his friend. Jacob K. Ernst was bom at Wesley, Ontario, Canada, on July I 15, 1873, and passed away at the O’Neill hospital at 11:30 o’clock Thursday morning, November 11, ; 1943, following a stroke suffered i a few weeks before. In 1884, i when he was 11 years of age his i parents came to Holt county, com | ing here from Canada, and ever I since, except three years spent in Iowa, he had been a resident of this county. On October 11, 1893, he was united in marriage to ‘Miss Ma lenda Harris, daughter of one of the pioneer families of the north ern part of the county, the cere mony being performed in this city. To this union nine children were born, three sons and six daughters, one daughter passing away in infancy, leaving eight children who, with their mother, are left to mourn the passing of a kind and affectionate husband and father. The children are: Mrs. Maude Cole of Page, Mrs. Lorena Lorenz of Inman, Mrs. Martha Dick of O’Neill; Homer Ernst, Mrs. Clara Lorenz, Ralph Ernst of O’Neill, Mrs. Myrtle Robertson of Alliance. He is also survived by three sisters: Mrs. Fannie Rei ser of Friend, Mrs. Mary Rosier of Boulder, Colo., Mrs. Susan Ku bitschek of O’Neill. He is also sur vived by twenty-five grandchild ren and nine great grandchildren. Deceased was one of the finest men we have ever known. We had known him well for over a half century and Jake was one of the kind of men whom to know well was to love more. He had a pleasing personality and always met his many friends with a cherry hello, how are you. And his greetings were not superficial. There was nothing superficial about Jake Ernst. He was honest and sincere, with great love in his heart for his family, his church and his friends. His passing re moved one of the old time pio neers from our tanks; one who lived a long and useful life and his passing brought grief to many outside of his immediate family, for in his death a real man passed on.
