SMALL DOSES
PAST AND PRESENT
By Romaine Saunders
Aildnioa, Nebr.
Bernard Kennedy received 50
cents under $80 for a bOO-pound
hog at the sale ring last week.
Maybe he doesn’t mean it that
way, but Candidate Roosevelts
recent snapdragon wise cracks
sound like a peevish old man.
Whatever else may be said of
Chicago’s Boss Kelly, he is a
rather handsome old gent, now
67 with a cool million in his roll.
Day coaches with Pullman car
comforts are a R. R. promise.
Trust they are on the rails cross
ing north Nebraska' the next t me
The Raymond Bly family ex
pect to “move in" to new quar
ters at their home, having built
a two-room addition to tne rancn
house.
For a people who numerically
figure up to about one per cent
ojt the world’s t^t 'l. ‘he O'
come in for about 50 per cent of
the world’s worries.
Don’t try to hoodwink Uncle
Sam. A gent down at the capi al
city tried it when he bought
stolen food stuff from he army
air base and got nicked for $1,000
in federal court.
If Mr. Truman can make no
stronger heart appeal than that
there is no telling what the sacri
fice of life woul be with a war
president like the republican
nominee, maybe he had just as
well sit down.
Cattle are being moved to
market in large numbers from
the grass lands. Ranchers in
Swan precinct are not all de
pending on trucks for the move
tf' ment of herds, which are being
r." hazed along over the trails to the
railroad on saddle horses.
Mrs. Addison returned Monday
from Omaha. She reports Lvle,
who was seriously injured when
run over on the road sou'h of
Amelia, on a fair way to recovery.
His neck was broken and is now
in a cast. He will have to rra-~a n
in the hospital for some weeks.
From the European war front
comes word that tne All ed arm,r,s
expect to be in the fox holes
another Christmas. The h me
front intimates that maybe the
million and a half available civ
ilians may be called into service.
Let us know the worst. Or is it
bond sales talk?
The gentleman from
mated up with Mr. Roosevelt is
quoted as saying: “Tnrow a
brick at a bureaucrat in Wash
ington and the odds are 2 to 1
you’l hit a reppublican.” To
bring a semblan' of ord r t" t
New Deal muddle an S. O. S.
call was shouted to republicans
from the White House.
She got aboard a street car in
a swanky residential district.
Blue bloods are not using auto
mobiles now. Ear adornments
the size of half dollars, red Ups
which suggested a dip into a keg
of barn paint with a brush and
held to her mouth and the fra
grance of powder puffs were the
noticable thngs as she breezed
down the aisle to a seqt.
He was a very proper young
% man. With great dignity he was
moving toward m< >•> re -
Crete along a college campus.
Erect as a poker I wondered if
a Tib would crack or face split if
he was made to laugh. Thought
I better not try—tuen cou.an t
refrain “Hi, there! Hello!” It
was the meeting we use o"
prairie. There was a slight hitch
m the young man’s dignified
stride, a look of ama'-’P’ ‘-rit— r
was it alarm. A few strides past
me he ventured with cultured
voice and faultless modulation,
“Good evening.”
Indian summer days, aflame
with color, cloudless skies aglow
at night with celestial glory, have
merged into the harsher s'ages of
autumn. Between the pink of
dawn and the red and gold of
sunset winds are stripping the
trees of the yellow plumage of
autumn and dry leaves flutter at
our feet. Denuded branches
form intricate designs in heavy
mass where recently hung the
velvet cluster of summer’s green
foilage. There is sighing in the
breeze that sucks at chimney tops
as if in mourning over faded
beauties. The brown earth, the
blue haze in early morning rest
ing ondistant hills, cimson flame
on vines and bushes, the flutter
of wings as prairie chickens rise
in the wind now moaning through
bare trees a funeral dirge, the
morning landscape . in powdered
beauty—each season brings a
fresh touch of beauty and throbs
>in song of awakened life or vi
brates a mournful lay as dead
leaves fall.

ways during the illness and death
of our dear husband and father;
also for the beautiful offerings.
Mrs Anna Smith and Family.
Politics in Holt county Jrm’t
iwhat it used to be. A long list
ol local- patriots raised the dust on
prairie trails as they went across
this empire and gave the glad
hand—on occasion a jug—to the
gents out on the sod. Hank Mc
Evony, Charlesy Manville, Ed
Butler, Charles Hamilton, J. P.
Mullen, Charley Hall, John Skirv
ing, B. S. Gillespie, Art Mullen,
Jim Harnish—some of these boys
could make the eagle scream and
the other fellows squirm when
they had a meeting out in a
country school house. There
were present lieutenants iike Bill
Bell over east of Chambers, Zeb
Warner up northwest, John Hop
kns out toward the river, Frank
Phillipps and Joe Hunter over
east, Levi Van Valkenberg down
at Inman, Frank Hammerberg
over northwest and a lot of others
who took a lively interest in the
sort of government setup they
were to live under. A wet blank
et seems to rest over the local
political picture as the date for
voting comes on. The apathy is
on voter and candidate alike. I
haven’t seen a candidate but one
gent up for supervisor letft his
card in my mail box. Once we
knew there was an election on in
Holt county. Candidates' and cit
izens were at fever heat. What
Doc Mathews, John McDonough,
Jim Riggs John Wertz, Clarence
Selah and their successors failed
to say in their papers John Mc
Cafferty, Tom Golden, Dave Darr
and Hugh O’Neill supplied in
classic and caustic letters for
further befuddlement of the
voters. Today Holt county, is
either in a political stupor with
the few candidates caring little
about the outcome or voters are
quietly awaiting the day to reg
ister an overwhelming protest
against the Himman-Browder
Bridges communist group spend
ing millions for the fourth term
candidate.
Hugh F. Gilday, 56,
Dies Suddenly At His
Home Here Saturday
Hugh F. Gilday, well known
resident of O’Neill, passed away at
his home in this city last Saturday
morning at 1:15 a. m. of heart
trouble after an illness of a few
hours. Funeral services were held
Tuesday morning at 10:00 o’clock
from St. Patrick’s church with Rev.
Daniel Brick in charge of the ser- i
vices. The body was then taken
to Sioux City, Iowa by Biglin’s
and shipped to his old home town
of Janesville, Minn., where burial
was to be made.
Hugh Francis Gilday was born
in Janesville, Minnesota on Feb
ruary 3, 1888 and at the time of
his death was 56 years, 8 months
and 19 days of age. He was united
in marriage to Mary Olson at Red
field, So. Dak. on May 26, 1914
and to this union were born five
children, one son and four daugh
ters. all of whom survive. The
children are Mrs. Catherine Han
lon, Richmond, California; Arthur
Gilday, Portland, Oregon; Irene
Gilday, Vancouver, Wash.; Mrs.
Helen Alton, Vancouver, Wash.,
and Mary Louise at home.
He is survived by his wife and
above named children and four
brothers and three sisters.
Mr. Gilday came to O’Neill with
his family in August 1938 and has
since that time resided here. He
was a barber by trade and owned
his own shop at the time of his
death. He had many friends over
the county who were sad to learn
of his death.
Pallbearers were Merle Hickey,
P. B. Harty, P. C. Donohoe, J. B.
Ryan, Leonard Shoemaker and
Norb Uhl.
Market Considerably
Stronger At Livestock
Sale Here On Monday
More than 600 cattle were sold
here Monday at the O’Neill Live
stock Commission Co. The market
was considerably stronger on most
classes and were 50c to 70c high
er than a week ago. About 300
calves were sold and the choice
calves that would go for club pur
poses sold from $13.00 to $13.25;
stock calves from $11.00 to $12.00;
and the lower grades down as
low as $9.00 to $10.00 per hundred.
A few extra choice cows sold
from $10.00 to $11.25. Yearling
steers looked 50c to 75c higher. A
nice run of yearling' heifers were
in and the market on them was
slow and draggy, and the buyers
were not interested very much the
way it looked. Cutters and canners
were 25c to 50c higher,
t. The hog run was light and it
was the same old story, $14.10 for
weights from 180 to 240 lbs., heav
ier weight and sows, $13.30. Pigs
are still in good demand and the
managers say that they can sell a
lot more than they are getting.
Next Monday is a special lamb
sale. Let the management know so
that they can get them in their
advertising.

A blocked lateral by Golden set

O’Neill High Defeats
Spencer 20 To 0
There Wednesday
O’Neill stacked up their fourth
consecutive win Wednesday, de
feating Spencer on their field by a
score of 20-0. This game gave
O’Neill a seasonal total of 78
points against their opponents 59.
After Spencer received the
kickoff on their 27, they pushed
into O’Neill’s half of the field,
where the ball remained until Fox
carried it from their 37 to Spen
cer’s 40. From there it went to
the 35 and Hungerford paced this
off on one play, giving O’Neill 6
points. Mathews caught a pass for
the extra point. On receiving the
kickoff on their own 49, Spencer
brought the pigskin across to
O’Neill’s 42.
In the second quarter, Spencer
kicked from O’Neill’s 42 to the 5,'
where it went out of bounds. From
O’Neill’s 14, Fox kicked and Speri
cer returned it to O’Neill’s 39.
O’Neill got the ball on their own
30 and made a steady advance to
Spencer’s 9 yard line and Fox
caught a pass in the end zone.
Hungerford made the extra point;
on a run. The half ended with the
ball in O’Neill’s hands on their j
own 44.
In the third quarter, O’Neill
made a threat, bringing the ball to
Spencer’s 5 yard line. An advance
to the one-yard line was nullified1
by a 15 yard penalty. Passes fail
ed to regain the position, but a
kick by Spencer, caught by Tib
bets, brought the ball to the 50,
gave O’Neill the ball again and,
passes caught by Fox and Mathews
who received one in the end zone,
gave the Eagles their 3rd touch
down.
The fourth quarter contained
many thrilling passes and long
kicks, but no threats were made.
This was perhaps the hardest
fought quarter of the game, which
was not, as a whole, a bitterly
fought contest. Fox was taken
out for a short while in this quar
ter. Hungerford and Fox were
outstanding in this game, while
Tibbets did some pretty fair pass-,
ing.

The O’Neill High Eagles won
their third consecutive victory
of the season last Friday evening
under the lignts at Carney Park,
when they defeated the previous
ly undefeated Ainsworth eleven
spark plug for the Eagles as he
drove across for both of the
Eagle’s touchdowns. The Eagles
played a fine defensive game in
tercepting many of the Bulldogs
passes and stopping their backs
many times for short gains. This
Wednesday the Eagles will travel
to Spencer where they will be
looking for their fourth consecut
ive win of the Reason, against a
mediocre Spencer eleven. The
Eagles should win this one and
make it four straight.
In last week’s column I said J
would try and pick out the five
best games of the day and the
winners and I made an 800 aver
age, hitting four out of five. I
picked Notre Dame to beat Wis
consin and they did in a close
game, 28-13. It was a lot closer
game than the score indicates. I
picked Georgia Tech to upset
Navy and the Rambling Wrecks
never let me down as they won
17-15 in the best game of the day.
We also picked Ohio State, all
civilian team, to beat Great
Lakes and they came through
with a 26-6 win. We picked
Army to beat Coast Guard and
they dd (slightly) as they had to
have ten men just adding up the
score, which finally read, Army
76, Coast Guard 0. Then I pick
ed UCLA to defeat St. Mary’s
Preflight and in what proved to
be the biggest upset of the day
St. Mary’s came through on the
long end of a 21-12 score.
In the other college and ser
vice games of last week-end, in
the Big Six, the Nebraska Corn
huskers dropped their third game
in a row as they lost a 20-0 de
cision to Kansas, and it was the
first time Nebraska lost on Kan
sas soil since 1896, and the first
time Kansas defeated Nebraska
since 1916. In other Big Six
fames Oklahoma ran over Kansas
tate 68-0; Missouri and Iowa
State battled it out to a 21-21 tie.
In the Big Ten Illinois rolled over
once mighty Pitt 39-5; Indana
had a tough time wth North
western before winning 14-7.
Purdue tripped Iowa 26-7. Ohio
State, Big Ten leaders defeated
Great Lakes 26-6 and Notre Dame
defeated Wisconsin 28-13. In Ihe
(service games Randolph Field
Ramblers poured it on Camp Po.k
67-0; the Iowa Seahawks beat
Fort Warren 30-0. Undefeated
Bainbridge eleven nipp d Camp
Perry, previously undefeated, 7-0,
and the Lincoln Army Air Field
won their fifth consecutive v c-;
tory of the season against no de
feats, as they nipped Marquette1
13-12.
The St. M ry’s Cardina's tra\e!
ed to Butte last Friday afternoon
for an afternoon engagement
with the undefeated Butte Sextet.
The Cards winning their fifth con
secutive victory against no de
feats, by a score of 33-8. The
Cards scored first but late in the
first quarter the Butte Sextet
tied it up 8 all. Then the Cards
began to roll and finished on the \
long end of a 33-8 score. Richard ;
Clark was the standout on the I
Cards team with three long touch-1
down rurls, which helped the1
Cards hand Butte the r first set- j
back. This Wednesday the Card-;
inals will travel to Chambers,
where they will play their second j
game against the Chambers Coy
otes. St Mary’s defeated Cham- j
bers 48-0 here on October 6 and!
the Cards should not have much !
Irovble in wirn;ng t eii s xth
straight game. The Cardinals still
hold ninth positiin in the Top Ten
in the six-man ifootball stan ngs j
of Gregg McBride this week, shar-1
ing ninth position w th the Sextet
from Pleasanton. Five paro hi 1
schools are in the t^p ten. They

O'Neill High Eagles Win
13-6 Over Ainsworth
Here Last Friday Night
The O’Neill Eagles ripped into
the Ainsworth Bulldogs Friday
night, October 20, making good
their promise to defeat this num
ber two enemy, by a margin of T
points over Ainsworth’s 6.
It was with a strong determina
tion to win, tempered possibly with
the thought of the training they
would undergo if they lost, that
O’Neill made their best showing
of the year, Ainsworth standing aa
the first considerably tough team
that had known defeat at the
hands of O’Neill this year. Proof
that O’Neill has progressed greatly
in the last few weeks, lie in the
two teams comparative score with
Bassett who trounced O’Neill 33-0
and received defeat from Ains
worth by a score of 14-13. Touch
downs for O’Neill came in the
second and fourth quarters in the
form of Dick Fox. Ainsworth’s
tally was made in the fourth by
McNally who received a pass as he
stood within five yards of the end
zone.
Calkins kicked off to Ains
worths Scheisler who received the
ball on the 20 and brought it to
their own 42. After a punt which
gave O’Neill the ball and punting
action at both ends of the field,
O'Neill brought the ball to Ains
worth’s 15, Hungerford displaying
some fine running and Fox some
good kicking. Here Ainsworth re
ceived the ball, but failed on a
kick which went almost straight
up and was caught by Fox. The
stage was then set* for O’Neill’s
touchdown in the second, the ball
being on Ainsworth’s 7 yard line
at the end of the quarter.
After the touchdown in the sec
ond and the scoring of the extra
point by Hungerford on a pass
from Tibbets, Giles received the
kickoff on their 22 yard line. Ain
sworth came nearly to the 50 yard
line and a long pass caught by
Selah put the ball in O’Neill ter
ritory for the remainder of the
first half. The ball changed hands
nine times, Ainsworth making six
passes in an attempt to win that
touchdown. Three of these were
intercepted and three more, all on
their last first and ten, were in
complete
The third quarter featured some
long kicks which put action at
both ends of the field, but neither
team made any great threat. It
was in this quarter that Giles of
Ainsworh was hurt and removed
for the balance of the game.
In the last quarter, O’Neill got
the ball on her own 34 and after a
hard fought battle which gave
Hungerford a good mauling which
took him out for a short while,
they brought the ball onto Ains
worth’s half of the field. A kick
by Fox put O’Neill within striking
distance of the goal. Though
Ainsworth caught the kick, the
Bulldogs lost the ball on an inter
cepted pass. Fox, after six plays,
brought the ball across the goal
line, giving O’Neill her total score
oi pomis.
Then with the fury that their
name implies, the Bulldogs brought
the ball from the 40 and penetrat
ed the end zone. This thrust fea
tured a long run by Scheisler and
the pass which McNally received
to make the touchdowns. Penal
ties in the remainder of the game
lost O’Neill much yardage.
Hungerford and Fox were out
standing O’Neill men in this game
while Giles and Scheisler stood
out in front for Ainsworth. Vorce
ind Burglund of O’Neill and Baker
md Anderson of Ainsworth did
commendable line work.
