Neb. Stale HMoiicai Suoi«t| M1SSENT TO TNMAM, WEB LXV O’NEILL, BREEZES FROM THE SOUTHWEST By Romaina Saunders I “This little strip of light ’twixt night and night Let me keep bright today, And let no shadow of tomorrow Nor sorrow from the dead yester day Gainsay my happiness today. And if tomorrow shall be sad or Never come at all. I’ve had, at least, today!” A heavy rain a week ago took a toll of 20 young turkeys of Mrs. Kennedy’s nock. Labor unions are spending money from a three-quarter of a * million fund to defeat republi cans for re-election to congress who have stood for square treat ment for employer, employee and the public. The first friend of labor was a republican who freed three million slaves. I understand it is against the law to speak against liquor over a national hookup. Wonder how Sheriff Duffy would enjoy march ing a W. C. T. U. sister to jail who got up to a microphone and read from Holy Writ: “Who hath woe? Who hath sorrow? Who hath contentions? Who hath babbling? Who hat wounds without cause? Who hath red ness of eyes? They that tarry long at the wine; they tlhat go to seek mixed wine.” It is given to no one to know it all or remember it all. The editor was right in going back a step farther with the history of drug stores. I had forgotten those he mentions. I believe one window of that store he calls our attention to was used by an early day jeweler for a variety of defunct time pieces brought to him to be revived. Druggists, like priests and Methodist preach ers, were in the vanguard of ad vancing civilization. The first I recall of these was Father Smith of the Catholic faith and Bartley Blain of the Methodist Episcopal persuasion. Mr. Willkie is heard from again. He appears to be the George W. Norris type of repub lican—a newcomer to the ranks with what many regard New Deal attributes subtley concealed back of blunt phrases. Citizens who have grown gray and thick at the midriff through years of loyalty to republican principles resented an outsider and recent convert coming into their states to set them straight. What bear ing, if any his recent published productions will have on the com ing G. O. P. convention remains to be seen. This generation is learning what an older generation tried to tell them that Nebraska has flood waters from time to time. Tell a college bred engineer di recting the construction of a highway in recent years that his grade level was not high enough he would give you either a toler and smile or a cold stare. Those who know their Indian tell us Nebraska means water. We have both devastating flood and blist ering drought. Had the engi neers who put through highways in this community taken advice from the natives there would be. less road work to do over after a period of high water. Mr. and Mrs. Kennedy went to Atkinson an afternoon last week. That alone is neither news nor important. At least four other families in the neighborhood were also up town that afternoon. It is What one discovers at the ■ home during the absence of the 'parents that (is important. I went to this home early that evening. The fourteen year old daughter had just gone to the house from feeding 150 young turkeys. The dining room was in order and the table attractively laid for the family’s evening meal. Father and mother had not yet arrived (from town and with the bearing of modest effi ciency the young daughter in formed me they had the milking done and were awaiting their par ents’ arrival. Here were four children, a boy of ten and an other five, two girls ,the oldest not more than fourteen, had got ten the ten or twelve cows in from pasture, done the milking, fed the poultry and had the supper ready to sit down to I when father and mother should get home. We read of the tragedy of young lives today, what is called juvenile delinquency. A cure for that is a home in which litle hands aye taught useful work and in which they take an interest. Other fathers and mothers in the neighborhood: came home from town that day and found the table set. It is suih homes that are the salt of the earth and the hope of the nation. v This is what small business men think about i' as voiced by their convention keynoter, De Witt Emery, in Chicago recently: fv “The choice this fall is between b r Meyborg-Ruther A beautiful and impressive wedding took place Tuesday morning, June 20, at 10 o clock at St. Peter's de Alcastars Catho lie church in Ewing when Miss Lucille A. Meyborg if Ewing, be-, came the bride of Jerome V. i Ruther of Inman, Rev. Father j Burke periforming the single ring ceremony. The bride is the oldest daugh ter of the late Mr. and Mrs. John Meyborg, of Ewing. She attend ed public school at Ewing. The groom is the youngest son of Mrs. Anna Ruther and the late John Ruther of Inman. He; attended the Inman public school and graduated with the class of 1937. Since his graduation he: has been in the ranching and: farming business. The bride wore a white slipper satin and lace gown fashioned with a sweetheart neckline and lace inserts in the sleeves and skirt. A finger-tip veil fell in graceful folds from a beaded crown. Her boquet was of pink and white carnations and baby breath tied with a white satin ribbon. . Miss Laura Vandersmckt, of Ewing, was bridesmaid. She wore a pink floor length taffeta gown and carried a boquet of pink roses tied with a pink satin ribbon. . Both the groom and his attend ed, John Kaczor, of Ewing, wore medium blue suits with white carnation boutinniere. The groom’s mother dressed in medium green with brown ac cessories wore a baby rose cor sage. Immediately after the cere mony dinner was served to the , clergy, relatives and friends of I the couple. A three tier wedding cake with a minature bride and groom on it and vases of roses were the centerpiece of the table. After a short wedding trip they will make their home on the groom’s farm southeast of Page. two philosophies of government: centralized control of everything and everybody or constitutional government with the rights of the people guaranteed by a bill of rights.” That those gents in tend to have a hand in election is plain by this: “Any man who doesn’t take an intensive and active interest in politics is just a plain ordinary fool.” Maybe a better way to have put it is to say he just doesn’t keep inform ed. Small business—who are they? They are your neighbors —Florence Lindsay and her mother at Amelia, Edgar Peter son at his cream station, Blake Ott at the filling station, John McManus, John Melvin, Miss Meer and a dozen othfers in O’Neill, Ralph Kelly of the Graphic, printers, grocers, car- j penters, barbers, doctors, lawyers, i the boys and old men pushing lawn mowers to earn a few dol lars, girls behind counters and in restaurants, the men and women riding tractors or draw- I ing lines over a span of four or ( only one mule to keep up the food supply, Ted Platte and Wm. j Medcaltfe down at Chambers,shop j keepers and laborers all over the land not taking orders from j union heads. A sizable bunch : that may become a militant force from the start made at the Chi- j cago convention. Lord Byron found “society where none intrudes.” Pathless forest, deep and dark blue ocean inspired his sublime pen. A picturesque and bewhiskered American touched a responsive chord in the soul of the outdoor gent when he spread the prairie on a deathless page and boomed, “Room! Room! Out where there is room!” And it is astonishing what “society” is to be found in the great room of the outdoors. A black-tailed jack tumbles out q)f his bed of grass, cocks a wary ear toward you and is away to a zone of safety. A turtle dove flutters up just ahead and there is another opportunity to mani fest that universal interest, a look into a bird’s nest. This one had two white eggs. A lone j duck scolding scandalously travels high abovt on fast-flapping wings.' A sizeable snapping turtle has moved to the middle of the road to find a barren spot of earth to deposit eggs. They lug around forty odd of these until nesting. Great green frogs push off from 'the water’s edge and find safety in the cool depths of the stream until a bigger under water creature makes a meal of him. A flash of gold—a canary on show just for a glimpse of its dainty lovliness. A nest contain- , ing ten baby rabbits, their eyes not yet open to the perils of an interesting world. The barnyard cat locates the nest and takes the mouse-size bites down one at a time. Staccato calls of the sly coyote give the direction to1 where these prairie thieves are ganging up. Beast and bird, in sert and creeping thing; flowers and the waving green of tree tops, open country landscaped by the hand of the creator—nature holds innumerable charms in that "-ocietv where none intrudes.” And the friend of nature “loves not man the less.” Three People Drown In Elkhorn River Near O'Neill Last Friday Eve; Bodies Found Saturday David Brookhouser, 28, Loses Life On Van Horn Farm Southwest Of Orchard David Brookhouser, 28 a brother of Mrs. Grace Wilcox of O’Neill, lost his life by drowning last Fri day evening at dusk while swim ming with his wife in backwater from the Elkhorn river on the Harry Van Horn farm ten miles southwest of Orchard.

Two in the Elkhorn east of this city, Henry Sobotka and Miss Cora Hansen and David Brookhouser in the Van Horn lake southwest of Orchard. The bodies of Mr. Sobotka and Miss Hansen were found about noon Saturday just east of the river bridge about three miles east of O’Neill by Joel Parker, Chet Calkins, Wm. Gatz and Ralph Davidson. The couple had left their shoes on dry ground which gave the searchers a hint as to where to look. There were two streams of water running across the meadow south of the regular river channel, caused from the high water and it was in this sec ond stream that the bodies were found in about 10 or 12 feet of water. This happened to be a deep hole in the stream as the water on both sides of the hole was shallow. It seems that Henry Sobotka, Richard Hansen and his two sis ters, Cora and Lulu Hansen had been in O’Neill that afternoon and had gone home about supper time and had stopped along the high way just east of the river bridge, where Mr. Sobotka and Miss Han sen had gone swimming, and had disappeared with nobody noticing their disappearance. Relatives were notified that night and who searched during the night, and in the morning more help was asked to find the bodies. Cora Hanson Funeral services were held for Miss Cora Hansen on Monday aft ernoon, June 19th at two o’clock from the Methodist church in this city, with Rev. Dawson Park in charge of the services and burial in Propect Hill cemetery.

We will not permit that to happen here, especially when we look around in our homes and our places of employment and see the shadows of relatives and friends who today are in the midst of bloody battle for us. It cannot be emphasized too strongly that regardless of the size of our county quota, the Fifth War Loan will be a flat failure for you if you do not exceed any j thing you have done in the past in War Bond buying. v In this invasion hour your son, your brother, your friend—has a right to demand that you make your record contribution to the success of this war loan. The slogan, “Back the Attack, Buy More Than Before", is not merely a catch phrase. It express es the cold facts about invasion. Unless we make the supreme ef fort to do everything humanely possible either at our work bench es or in our homes with our sweat, our blood and our dollars, we hand over our share of the burden to our fighting men. Is there anyone anywhere in this Arperica, which has been free of the noise of battles, who will not find it possible to buy one more Bond than he has planned? Is there anyone who cares about the life of a boy who is somewhere overseas, who will not say that this is the time to send the word along: “We are backing you up with everything we have. We are fighting by your side.” Nice Run Of Livestock At Local Sale Ring Monday ’ A nice run of livestock was at the local sale ring last Monday and due to the break in the central markets, the prices were some lower, especially on the cows. The good kind sold for $10 to $12 and the between kind were off more and sold around $6.25 to $8.00. Not many light cattle showed up, not enough to test the market. If you have anything fat, they are still a good price and we have buyers for them. A good run of hogs were here and prices were about steady on the very best and sold at $12.65, sows sold from S9 to $9.35. Quiet a few pigs showed up and the mar ket was considerable lower. The Alpha Club The Alpha Club met at the home of Mrs. Carl Widtfeldt on Wednesday, June 14. The roll rail was a poem on flowers.

The next meeting will be held at the home ot Mr. Sam Robert son. P. J. McManus returned Satur day (from Chicago, where he had spent the past three weeks visit ing relatives. P.
