SMALL DOSES
PAST AND PRESENT
By Romaine Saunder*
Given a little time the German
army will kill themselves off.
Probably not one guess in a
million on what there will be
“when the war ends” will hit the
mark.
^ e white collar worker
doesn’t care so much about the
collar, but he hopes he can keep
the shirt.
Over fifteen million Americans
were treated in hospitals during
1943; it is not stated how many
of these came out alive.
Don’s waste sobs on “hayseeds”
supposing they work from day
light to dark. They get out to
the meadows when the sun hangs
half way to the zenith.
Plans for help for the Jews are
proposed in various quarters.
What the Jew needs most he can
help himself to—a return to the
God and faith of Abraham, Isaac
and Jacob.
The hay is in the stacks, some
of in bales and gone to market.
Our bales are rich in vitimans A
and D, giving your family cow
that slick, glossy coat essential
to a flow of rich crtamy milk.
Canada is going us one better
on pensions; they are starting
with the children. When govern
ment turns to paternalism, is it
on the up or down grade? It
meant the death knell to old
Rome.
The army furnishes 94,000 den
tal patients a day. They say
good teeth are needed to handle
army grub. McKinley made a hit
with the soldiers in the Philip
pines when he sent them ship
loads of tomatoes.
What the democratic bigwigs
who called upon the first lady, by
consent of F. D. R., to remind her
that she needs to take a vacation
from press interviews and public
speaking really said was “Elea
nor, keep your mouth shut.”
Ten dollars a ton for hay in
the stack is the present prospect.
A friend here recently from the
Kaw valley down in Kansas says
baled hay in $20 the ton with
them. The poorest cow man
knows that a ton of hay will
not add $10 to any cow.
An American educator returned
after more than six years in
South America says he is ready
to back Senator Butler’s dis
closures with additional facts and
that South Americans don’t like
us and never will. It doesn’t
take a soothsayer to see that.
There was a mind reader at the
democratic state convention, held
last week. His name is O’Sulli
van. If, said he, “Hitler, Himm
ler, Goering and Tojo would tell
you how to vote, they would tell
you to vote the republican ticket
straight.” The worst of scound
rels have their moments of re
morse.
The envious ne’er-do-wells
think the bankers are putting on
a lot of plutocratic bloat investing
in war bonds. Bankers have no
favors shown them and probably
would rather put their money out
on good chattel loans. The few
of these nicely lithographed treas
ury documents that I have do not
draw a penny of inttrest until the
second year and it takes ten years
for $75 to grow to $100.
There is an outfit in Virginia
calling themselves holiness faith
healers whose only claim to pub
lic notice seems to be in juggling
with deadly snakes as they carry
on a frenzied performance
blasphemously called worship.
Religious convictions and attend
ant acts of worship apparently
are nobody’s business only the
individual concerned, but when
it comes to putting on performan
ces inspired by that “old serpent
called the devil” in which death
strokes lurk the sheriff should
take a hand.
Washington and waste have be
come synonymous. In contrast
the country is asked to gather
bits of paper, tin, iron, etc., and
there is spontaneous response.
Whether it is patriotic loyalty,
the thrill of mass movement, a
sort of sporting rivalry and may
be an element of social contact,
our citizens go to it like a call to
«- i
a watermelon feed and put the
thing over. Get your old envel
opes and newspapers ready for
another drive starting tomorrow.
Just forget the stories about them
burning tons of it down there at
New Deal headquarters. Save
your tin cans. A battleship re
quires 76 tons of tin.
Clinton Doolittle is in the
Stuart hospital with injuries sus
tained in a car accident. Rela
tives reported that he was still
unconscious at this writing, Mon
day evening. Three young men
were involved in the accident,
Clinton sustaining the most ser
ious injuries. He, Willis Peter
son and Bill Black were on their
way to Atkinson from the Char
ley Petersen ranch 15 miles south
when a tire blew out and the
car went into the ditch and was
badly wrecked. They were driv
ing a ranch car.
The day was hot until an hour
ago. A haze hangs over the dis
tant ridges obscuring a clear
view, a portend of fading green
and spreading of the brown robes
of autumn. A cool wind from the
north subdues the fires of an
August furnace and plays among
the tree tops. Hay stacks out on
the meadow make long dark
streaks on the mowing as the de
clining sun paints lights and shad
ows. The willows shake their vel
vet tresses in glad response to a
cooling wind. Blackbirds have
come to make an assault on the
sweet corn) in the gardens. Inex
orable and with no regrets the
season moves on toward that de
lightful period of calm and rest
we call fall.
A report that Mrs. Virgil Rock
ford had been killed by a runa
way rake team happily proved a
mistake. There was a runaway
but no serious consequences. . .
It is learned with regrets that
Paul Fisher mourns the loss of
his youngest brother, killed in
action in France.
Mrs. Charley Clark and daughter,
Miss Dorothy of Garfield county,
accompanied by Steven Holm, of
Lawrence, Kansas, visited Mr.
and Mrs. Saunders Saturday. . .
Bob Fredriech, in training for
naval service, was called home
last week by the serious ilness of
his father. . . It seems to be news
when a school district contracts
a teacher. Ours has one, Miss
Primus to preside in district 243.
At 11:00 o’clock Monday night
it struck. From then on until
morning the artillery of the sky
flashed and crashed, the winds
let loose in maddening fury, dis
lodging as much as two bushels
of apples from a single tree, toss
ing loose objects about. A quar
ter inch or so of rain was squeez
ed out of clouds that belted the
heavens from rim to rim. Denny
Cronin, Tom Enright, Paul Sul
livan and their compatriots will
recall the terror in storms of the
open prairie out there from town
—in the homestead days that
made the frail houses shake,
scared the daylights out of child
ren and adults alike and sent the
family scooting to the primative
“bomb shelter,” the household
‘cave.” We had about such a
wild night Monday but suppose
everyone felt secure in the sub
stantial homes of today.
The John Mullen and Clinton
Campbell political insurrection
has borne no visible fruits and
Judge Quigley is still the domin
ant democratic figure in Ne
braska, though why others wonder
besides Messrs. Mullen and
Campbell. There were others
besides these two gentlemen who
felt as they did but in the interest
of party harmony they swung in
line with those riding the demo
crat’s donkey in this state. What
I know of the Mullen tribe they
would rather be on the side of
what they considered right if it
meant out of harmony with the
whole political push. Most of
the Mullens have shown much
interest in political matters. There
is one exception.Leo Mullen up:
at O'Neill looks upon partisan
politics as an offense and a stench
in the nostrils. He puts character
above the partisan brand and
would vote for a good “nigger” j
in preference to a shady gent in
good standing with the party. In
contrast to the turbulent, aggres
ive, fighting Mullen characteris
tics, Leo is poised, steady, reli
able and level-headed. He has
never had ambitions to conquer
new worlds, but fills the place of
the solid substantial citizen in the
home town of his birth.
Daniel DeBacker returned
home Saturday from Denver, Co.,
where he spent a month visiting
relatives.

Former Holt County
Boys Pass Away
The Frontier received a letter
some time ago from Mrs. Sayde
Starving Simpson, of Cashmere,
Washington, in which she tells of
the death of two former O’Neill
boys: She says:
“ I received a letter from Mr.
and Mrs. Roy Hamilton, who live
at Conrad, Montana, telling me
of the death of Guy Hamilton in
Miami, Florida, on April 27, hav
ing died from a hemhorrage, and
also the death of Gene Hamilton,
who died in March in Torrance,
California. Mrs. Rafe King, their
sister Maude, lives at Port An
geles, and Dad Hamilton, who is
hale and hearty at 90 lives with
them.”
Charles W. Hamilton was
sheriff of this county from 1894
to 1898, being the first populist
elected to the office of sheriff in
the county. He was a resident of
Stuart when elected in 1893.
His son Guy was bookkeeper in
the office during Mr. Hamilton’s
term of office and the other son,
Gene, attended the O’Neill
schools. The family moved to
the state of Washington shortly
after he retired from office.
AAANOTES
Harvesting Grass Seed
As has been our policy in pre
vious years, our AAA payments in
1944 will include the harvesting
of grass seeds. However, most na
tive grasses will be included in
this and there will be no limita
tion on acreage as by a recent act
and appropriation by our Con
gress. Our revision also provides
for full payment of $3.50 for every
acre of any alfalfa, red clover,
alsike clover, white clover, brome
grass, wheat grass, gramma grass,
sweet clover and bluestem.
We will also make an addition
al payment of 3 Vic per pound on
red clover and 2 Vic per pound on
alfalfa and alsike clover on a
cleaned basis and meeting State
Seed requirements. However,
numerous reports have come into
our office the past few days that
very little seea is setting on the
alfalfa. Operators should check
their own fields and if this holds
true, it might probably be more
advantageous for you from a fin
ancial point of view to take the
present cutting as a hay crop. This
would be a determination that
each individual operator would
have to make for himself.
Acreage will be determined by
your local AAA Community Com
mitteeman—which were elected
by you—and payment will be
made thru the Holt County AAA
Office as in previous years.
For further information, con
tact the County AAA Office—on
the main floor of the Court House
Annex or call “48”.
Dairy Feed Payment
Payments for the months of May
and June are still being made dur
ing the month of August. Get your
cream stubs in before the end of
August for May and June subsidy
payment.
1945 Program Similar to 1944
Congress has authorized AAA to
plan a 1945 program for which
total expenditures may not exceed
$300,000,000 — approximately the
same as the 1944 program. Pay
ments for soil and range building
practices under the AAA program
have increased from $60,000,000 in
1936 to an expected $285,000,000
this year, including the special
provision by Congress for acreage
and poundage payments on le
gumes and grass seeds.
In general, the 1945 AAA Pro
gram will be similar to the 1944
program with these major objec
tives: (1) to maintain or increase
production, and (2) to assist farm
ers in carrying out conservation
practices which otherwise might,
not be carried out.
