R. H. Shriner New Head
Of Commercial Club
The O’Neill Commercial Club
held its annual election at its
meeting at the Golden Hotel
Tuesday evening and elected R.
H. Shriner its president for the
coming year. The following
other officers were elected: Ted
McElhaney, first vice president;
Cliff Lundgren, second vice pres
ident; Bennett Grady, treasurer;
R. C. Anderson and L. D. Put
nam, directors for one year to fill
out vacancies and Ralph Rickly
and W. B. Spelts directors for the
regular three year term.
The annual report of the treas
urer disclosed that the Club now
has a paid membership of some j
eighty members and that its
financial position is strong.
A rsinb vote of thanks was
tendered the outgoing president,
Dr. O. W| French and the outgo
ing directors for their splendid
work during the past year.
The Commercial Club has ac
complished a number of worth- ]
while things for the city and ,
its social and business life; it has
an opportunitq to accomplish
much more in the years to come.
O’Neill is vitally interested in the
road program to be undertaken
in this section following the end
of the war and the Commercial
Club is the logical organization to
furnish the leadership for the city
and community. They are now
working to bring new industry
and new people and new business
to our town, from which all will
benefit. That can be done suc
cessfully only through organiza
tiin. Every business and pro
fessional man and woman in the
tow and vicinity should be an
active boosting member.
O’Neill should also be interested
in an adequate airport, so that we
will be in a position to take ad
vantage of the expected large in
crease in the transport of goods,
mail and passengers following
the war. Airlines criss crossing
and routes established. Our
the state are now1 being organized
natural advantages with splendid
highways and bus lines operating
in all directions—soon on pave
ment—makes us the logical term
inal for this section. If we fail
to assert and press our claims or
if we fail to make preparations to
accommodate this travel other
towns with less favorable natur
al advantages, but with more
courage and push, may outstrip
us.
The daily press last week, in
commenting on the municipal
elections throughout the state,
mentioned several towns who
voted on the issuance of bonds
for the establishment of airports,
among them Plainview. With the
present strong financial position
of our city we would not have to
vote bonds, but we would have
to acquire some land. It is a
matter that should be investi
gated by our people.

Holt County Farmers
Show Their Interest In
Conservation Work
Holt County farmers show their
interest in conservation work by
requesting assistance from the
Holt County Soil Conservation dis
trict. Eight requests had already
been made through the county
agent’s office and others when the
district office opened last week.
These requests were made to the
district supervisors for assistance
in developing a conservation pro
gram for their farm and to estab
lish conservation measures on their
land.
Soil conservation service tech
nicians assisting the district will
go over the land with the owner
to see what his plans are and offer
recommendations. A program will
be developed which is mutually
agreed upon and the farmer enters
into an agreement with the district
supervisors by signing an agree
ment. Then he is entitled to the
services of the technical men
without any cost to himself. There
are also other benefits such as the
right to rent district equipment
and purchase native grass seeds
when these are made available.
Anyone interested should in
quire at the district office in the
basement of the courthouse annex
or at the county agent’s office in
the courthouse.

run of milk cows with plenty of
buyers ready to take them at very
satisfactory prices.

with a top of $13.35 for a few of
the best and $13.30 for most of
them. About 200 pigs were in and

Mr. Steckmeyer suffered an ac
