BREEZES FROM

“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

ciency the young daughter in

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

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:

tend to have a hand in election
is plain by this: “Any man who

active interest in politics is just
a plain ordinary fool.” Maybe
a better way to have put it is to

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

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.”

Henry Sobotka And Miss
Cora Hansen Drown In
Deep Hole East Of O'Neill
The people of this vicinity were
shocked to learn last Saturday
morning that three people in this
county had lost their life by
drowning the evening before. 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.

Miss Cora Hansen on Monday aft
ernoon, June 19th at two o’clock

of age. She came to this county
with her parents in 1915 from Iowa
and has continued to make her
home on the farm a few miles east
of O’Neill.

There will be a feeling of shame
in this county If we find ourselves
short of the mark when the Fifth
War Loan comes to an end next
month. 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. An
interesting talk on flowers and
vases was given by Mrs. Dwight
Hammerlun. After the meeting
ice cream and cake was served
by the hostess.
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. J. had intended
to visit his old home town in Wis
consin before coming home, but
he said travel was so heavy it
was almost impossible to get
anywhere, so he gave it up and
came home.
