The Frontier Is |
Getting Along In Years
—
A LOOK AT THE PAST
The Frontier is getting old The
first issue came off a Washington
hand press a day in June, 1880.
From then till now puts it over
into the sixties. When we pass
three score years on the mortal
pilgrimage we think we have
learned a thing or two. The
wisdom of the ages oozes from
matured ego.
You see in the picture The
Frontier’s early home. It rests
on the same ground today. The
picture, a rather excellent tin
type, was taken in ’81 or ’82. I
am able to identify but three of
the group in front of the build
ing, Editor W. D. Mathews, in
shirt sleeves and hatless, is the
first in line. My brother, Ezra,
an early day printer, is also hat
less and coatless standing to the
right. Jim Hall, a booted foot
on a cotton wood block, stands by
a window. Maybe Mr. Cronin or
k Con Keyes can identify the
" others.
There were no sidewalks and
paved streets were unheard of
in the prairie town bearing the
somewhat pretentious name of
O’Neill City. Board walks were
introduced about ’85 by Mike
Long and George Triggs. Long
officially authorized them and
Triggs—no man ever faster
w|th saw and hammer—did
the work. The “Concrete Age”
began with Dan Cameron forty
years ago.
So far as I know, The Frontier
is the only business concern in
Holt County started in 1880 that
still holds its venerable head
above high water mark. It has
chronicled the dreams and indus
trial' visions of a remarkable
people whose hopes were buried
under the drifting sands of time
and others have arisen to bring
to fruition those fading dreams.
Mathews, Riggs, King & Cronin
and now Cronin have been the
■
successive—and successful—pub
lishers and owners of The Fron
tier. “Doc” Mathews, a Wiscon
sin demorcrat, came to O’Neill
and started a republican paper.
He was an able editor and made
the Elkhom valley famous by
his descriptive pen pictures of
“God’s Country.” Riggs, who
succeeded Mathews, had a con
science and ability in newspaper
work. Under King & Cronin,
youthful and daring, the paper
sparkled with juvenile wit, wis
dom and political volcanoes.
Mathews early encountered a
black jack plot to put him out
of business. He was taking the
land office business away from
the paper at .Niobrara. And
from that place came a hired
group to wreck The Frontier
equipment. Mathews learned of
the plot, mustered a band of the
boys who were always booted
and belted to protect his property 1
and The Frontier continued to
function without missing an
issue. Through the years it at
tained prominence and has been
quoted by New York City and
other far distance papers; while
during the hectic days of violent
poltical strife it was an oracle for 1
republicans who got their que
from its seething editorial page.
The building shown in the pic
ture also housed the vilage post
office. A hot stove, a bit of
waste paper carelessly handled
and the conflagration resulted.
Because of fires The Frontier
building has been replaced the
third time.
Country newspapers have calm
ed down and with the change i
has disappeared that which gave
them individual character, a
character that groused public in
terest to an extent that “press
day” brought citizens in to get
a paper as it rolled from the
press,
ROMAINE SAUNDERS.
Victory Garden Planting
Has Started In Holt Co.
A good many early birds have
made a start on their victory gar
dens in the last weeks and many
other families are making plans
to start soon. The victory garden
is more of a war necessity this
year than in 1943. In 1943 twenty
million victory gardeners in the
United States produced one-eleven
th of the nation’s food supply and
approximately 42 percent of the
► fresh vegetables consumed in this
county. The total production from
these gardens exceeded eight mil
lion tons, and over four billion
jars and cans of food were canned
by American housewives. This was
accomplished without any thought
generally that a war job was be
ing carried on. Most victory gard
eners were safeguarding their own
interests and reducing the monthly
grocery bill. But whatever the
motive may have been, it was a
direct contribution to the war ef
fort.
The war food administration ad
vises that in 1944 the government
requirements on all canned foods
will be 43 percent greater than in
1943. This means that the govern
ment, in 1944, will require 70 per
cent of our total supply of com
mercially canned fruits and 50
percent of our total suuply of our
commercially canned vegetables
to feed our armed forces and to
supply our allied armies and the
civilian populations in occupied
territories. The army’s demand
will be met first, and whatever is
left will be available for civilian
needs.
Victory gardens last year made a
huge contribution to the food situ
ation in thus country but the need is
even more critical this year. They
can and ought to do more this
year. The victory garden produces
food for military use. It saves
packing material, transportation,
and labor and is a major civilian
activity in support of the war. It
is of such consequence that grow
ing a victory garden is truly a
patriotic thing to do.
Now is the time, particularly for
those families who had thought,
they would not attempt to grow a
garden this year, to start making
definite plans for their contri- j
bution to the nation’s food supply.
Such vegetables as peas, potatoes,
onions, lettuce, beets, carrots, par
snips, radishes and swiss chard
may safely be planted by April
15 in this county.
There is much to be gained in
selecting the proper varieties of
vegetables which are adapted to
this region as well as the amount
and rates of planting. A new pub
lication describing all these as
well as disease and insect control
may be obtained free by writing
for CC 75 “Grow Good Gardens’’
at the county agent’s office in
O’Neill.
John O’Malley Goes
To Detroit, Michigan
After spending practically his
entire life time in Holt county,
John O’Malley this spring rented
his farm and left last Thursday
morning for Detroit, Michigan,
where he expects to remain
at least one year, providing every
thing goes just right. John has
been one of the standbys in cen
tral Shields for many years. He
has always been interested in
sports and had the reco ds of
many of the leading figures in
the fistic area, as well as base
ball and other sports, in his head
and could discuss the merits of
the various athletes with knowl-1
edge and accuracy. We expect j
John to embrace the opportunity
ity to see a good many of the big
league base ball games while in
the automobile metropolis, as
well as bouts in the fistic arena,
so that he can gives us his im
presiions upon his return to old
Holt.

O’Neill Boy Taking
Training At Farragut
Elias Timmerman, 23, husbond
o£ Mrs. Delia Timmerman, O’
Neill, Nebr., is receiving his in
itial naval indoctrination at the
U. S. Naval Training Station
Great Lakes, Illinois.
His “boot” training consists of
instruction in seamanshp, mili
tary drill, and general naval pro
cedure. During this period a
series of aptitude tests will be
taken by the recruit to determine
whether he will be assigned to
a Naval Service School or to
immediate active duty at sea.
His recruit training completed
the seaman will spend a period of
leave at home.
4-H Club Enrollment
Continues To Increase
In spite of the bad roads and
weathes 4-H club organizatin
continues to increase over last
year’s ndmber. Eighteen Clubs
with over 200 members are en
rolled at present. Two of the
latest clubs to reorganize are the
Cleveland 4-H Farm Shop Club
led by Samuel Lofquest and the
Hillside 4-H Community Club led
by Joe Ramold of Emmet.
Organization of stocker-feeder
cluhs is getting started as this is
the proper season for them to
select their calves. Prospective
stocker-feeder clubs will prob
ably make a record number of
4-H members in the county.
Ministerial Association
Taking Religious Survey
The Northeastern Nebraska
Ministerial Association, composed
of all Protestant churches of Holt
and Boyd counties, are sponsor
ing a religious survey of the en
tire county. They have sent
cards and maps to each of the
teachers in the county schools
asking them to give the desired
information about family name,
children, and denominational
preference. These cards when
returned wll be sorted and hand- i
ed to the pastors of each church,
both Protestant and Catholic,
giving each church an equal j
chance to contact families who j
have expressed a preference for
their church. This is an inter- j
denominational survey and it is
hoped that the teachers of the
various county schools will help
us to complete this survey.
Former O’Neill Resident

AAA News Notes
Corn freeze, effective 12:01
Tuesday of this week does not
affect Holt or surrounding count
ties. The Nebroska counties af
fected are: Burt, Butler, Cass,
Cuming, Dodge, Douglas, Lancas
ter, Otoe, Sarpy, Saunders, Sew
ard, Thurston and Washington.
Much concern has been shown
by Holt County farmers since
this order has gone into effect
and many have inquired as to
how it might curtail feeding op
erations. We fully realize the
seriousness of the feed situation
and hope we may receive 100%
co-operation from anyone with
surplus corn on hand that it may
be released and assist to that
extent in the promotion of the
War effort.
Beginning Monday, May 1,
dairy feed payments will be made
for the months of March and
April. Get your cream stubs in
early—do not wait until the last
day.
Harry E. Ressel. Chairman,
Holt Co. AAA Committee,
Former Resident Dies
At His Texas Home
O’Neill and Holt county rela
tives received word last Satur
day of the death of Walter K.
Hodgkin at his home in Rio
Hondo, Texas, that morning sud
denly, supucsedly from a heart
attack, as his heart had been
bothering him for some time.
His sister, Mrs. Mamie O’Neill
of northern Holt, left here Mon
day noon for Grand Island, where
she caught a train tor Denver.
She was driven to Grand Island
by Hugh Benson.. At Denver
Mrs. O Neill was joined by her
sister and husband, Mr. and Mrs.
Ernest Beaver of Deaver, Wyo.,
who also went to the funeral.
The funerol is expected to be
held either Friday or Saturday
and burial will be at Rio Hondo.
Walter Hodgkin was an old
time resident of this county. His
father, the late Hiram Hodgkin,
was one of the pioneer big cattle
men that settled in the northern
and northeastern port of the
county in the early eighties, and
was one of our most successful
early day ranchers. Walter grew
up in that section of the county,
but decided to try some other
avocation in lilfe besides a tiller
of the soil and a rancher, so after
he finished high school he went
to the State University and took
up the study of law. He was
admitted to the bar and opened
up an office in this city for the
practice of his profession, where
he wos engaged in active practice
for several years. While practic
ing law here he was nominated
and elected county atorney, being
the first republican county attor
ney eleced after the populist de
cline in the early nineties. He
made a good official and had the
admration and respect of the
people of the county.
In 1919 he decided to go west
and in August he disposed of his
office here to Julius D. Cronin,
who had been discharged from
the army a few months before Mr.
Hodgkin’s retirement. He went
from here to Sidney, Nebr.,
where he practiced law for a few
years and then, on account of the
condition of his health, he went
south and located at Rio Hondo,
Texas, where he was a success
ful practicioner for about twenty
years. Walter was about 66 years
of age and is survived by his wife
and one daughter, besides his
sifcters and several nieces and
nephews. O’Neill friends tender
their condolences to the bereaved
relatives in their hour of sorrow.
Drastic Action May Be
Made To Force 4-F Men
Into More Essential Work
As the invasion of Germany
draws near, Uncle Sam is point
ing his finger at 4-F selectees who
are not now in jobs that are essen
tial to the war effort, and develop
ments in Washington indicate that
more drastic steps may be taken
to shift 4-F workers to essential
employment, Walter A. Steffen,
Area War Manpower Director,
said today. Congress has told the
Selective Service System and the
War Manpower Commission that;
these two agencies should use their
authority to transfer such work
ers. The Army and War Produc
tion Board are pressing for such
action.
Despite cutbacks in some war
production plants, there is still a
great need for men and women at
Nebraska plants and in the ship
yards. The Hastings Naval Am
munition Depot is calling for
several thousand more workers.
The Grand Island, Sidney and
Mead ordnance plants are in need
of hundreds more. The Civil Ser
vice Commission is recruiting
hundreds of workers for the West
Coast ship yards and one enor
mous construction project at Pasco,
Washington, has just been given
the highest priority for workers—
the need at the project is so desper
ate that the President of the Unit
ed States issued an order to War
Manpower Commission local offi
ces to send thousands more work
ers at once.
“I sincerely urge men who are
calssified 4-F and not already in
essential jobs to consider the ad
vantage of moving into essential
work now,” Steffen said. “The
Employment Service has a com-;
plete list of essential jobs, and
we’ll be glad to talk the problem
over with 4-F workers or anyone1
else who is considering going into
war work.” Agricultural workers
are not being recruited for other
war employment: Inquire at your
Post Office or nearest Courthouse
and find out when the traveling
interviewer from the Norfolk em
ployment office will next visit
your town or nearest town. He
visits some towns weekly, some
monthly, and many every other
week. See your Selective Service
Board about clearance to a war
job.
Garbage To Be Collected
The City Officials will again
have the garbage collected in the
city on every Tuesday and Fri
day during the summer months,
commencing Tuesday, May 2.
Have your garbage ready for the
collector and it will be taken
away.

Republican County Convention
Held In O’Neill Today
One of the largest and most en
thusiastic republican county1
conventions held in this county in
several years, was held in the
Odd Fellows Hall in this city to
day. The meeting was called to
order at 11:00 o’clock by D. H.
Cronin, chairman of the repub
lican sounty central committee.
After calling the convention to
order he aslced for nominations ■
for the office of temporay chair
man of the convention and the
names of Frank J. Brady, of At
kinson, and Ira H. Moss, of
O’Neill were presented. A bal
lot was taken for the position
and Mr. Moss was elected tem
porary chairman with a vote of
22 to 10. Ed J. Matousek, of At
kinson, was elected temporary
secretary. The various commit
tees were then appointed and on
motion the convention adjourned
until 2:00 o’clock, to enable the
various committees to prepare
their reports.
The convention reconvened
promptly at 2:00 o’clock and the
reports of the various committees
were received. The first report
was the committee on permanent
organization, who reported that
the temprary organization be
made permanent, which report
was on motion adopted. The
committee on credentials and the
cmmittee on resolutions also
made their reports, which were,
upon motion adopted.
Ira H. Moss was then elected
chairman of the republican
county central committee, the
election being made by acclama
I tion and he was authorized to
select his own secretary. The
delegates from the various pre
cincts then selected their mem
bers of the county central com
mittee, after which one of the
best conventons held in this
city in years adjourned.
Following are the resolutions
adopted by the convention:
We, the duly elected delegates
of the republican party in Holt
county, Nebraska, in convention
assembled in. O’Neill in said
county this 27th day of April,
| 1944, with a full realization of
the many serious problems con
fronting the State and Nation j
hereby adopt the following reso
lutions:
1. Dedicated in heart and
mind and work to God and coun
try we demand, in this hour of
world tragedy and strife, that
complete victory be attained over
all enemies of our Republic and
her Allies and we pledge every
resource to that end. We demand
that nothing be permitted to di
vert our attention from the su
preme objective of winning the
war.
When America is victorious
and peace achieved such world
adjustment must be made as will
forever protect and sustain our.
American Republic, its represent-1
ative system of Government and 1
traditional way of life. Consist
ently with these principles we
stand for a carefully considered
plan to attain a durable lasting
peace.
While this war is being waged
throughout the world to preserve
liberty we demand that the
American form of Government
be sustained and protected at
home and that politics be com
pletely eliminated from our war
effort. We adhere vigorously to
the two party system. Our Re
public cannot be preserved by
destroying it under the guise of
an emergency. Constructive, pa
triotic criticism of the admin
istration at Washington consti
tutes, we hold, the only effective
weapon against inefficiency,
waste and incompetence or
against any other feature that
will retard the winning of the
war.
2. We demand that no official
or group of officials be permitted
after th war to continue to im
pose permanently upon our cit
izens those restrictions and limi
tations upon freedom which, dur
ing the war we cheerfully bear
as essential for the National
safety. Our Nation’s return to
peace must mark our resumption,
of the traditional American per
sonal freedom of life.
3. We endorse the candidacy
of all republican Cingressional
Nominees, together with all of
the republican nominees for State
office and commend them to the
voters as capable, economical and
devoted to the American theory
of Government and way of life
and opposed to continuity of
powerjto government by directive
and beaureaucrat and who will
devote their energies to a restor
ation of constitutional govern
ment and the rights of the people
and we pledge them our nearty
support.
4. We commend the patriotic,
economical, efficient and able ad
ministration of our State Gov
ernment under the leadership of
Governor Dwight Griswold.
5. We believe that free enter
prise should be first considered
and fully utilized in all post war
planning; that the effort of gov
ernment should be directed to
ward the encouragement rather
than the hindrance of free enter
prise and privote ecort; that less
emphasis be placed upon spend
ing and government management
and more on help and aid to pri
vate business; that constructive
practical steps should now be
taken to insure the full utiliza
tion of our vast private industry
|ind business in the post war
world.
6. We invite all citizens who
believe in the American system
of free democratic government
administred with honesty, effi
ciency and economy and who op
pose centralized Government by
bureaucrat to support the repub
lican candidates.

How To Care For
Non Productive Land
Sow land, abandoned from cul
tivation, or “go-back” land in
adapted grasses is the suggestion
of E. J. Revell, one mile west and
two miles north of Star, and one
of the Supervisors of the Holt
Soil Conservation District.
“We had 100 acres that had
not ben cultivated for a number
of years and we had not been
getting anything from it,” Mr.
Revell said. “We seeded it in
the spring of 1942 and this year
expect to have some grazing,” he
stated.
Soil Conservation Districts in
other parts of the state have
found that a more uniform stand
of the more desirable grasses
than is obtained in ten years if
than is abtained in ten years if
allowed to go back to grass of its
own accord.
Native grasses can be success
fully seeded on cultivated land,
abandoned land or depleted graz
ing land. A mixture of native
grasses has been found to be the
best for sandy land and land low
in fertility. Such grasses as
sand dropseed, sand love grass,
sandhill blue or big blue stem,
switch grass and blue grama
would make up the mixture.
Mixtures of crested wheat grass
and alfalfa or brome grass and
alfalfa have possibilities on the
hard land or heavier soil types
as found north of Page. How
ever, the results with these will
need to be studied further to de
termine their limits as to soil
adaptability and productivity.
The revegetation of land not
suitable for' cutltivation, critical
areas and depleted pastures and
range is one of the phases of
the program of the Holt Soil
Conservation District. Assistance
can be secured for this purpose.
