On account of the extra heavy
run of advertising this week

in our next issue.
prairie land. October draws to
a close. It has been one of
those periods of remarkable
weather with which we are fre
quently favored. I should very
much have enjoyed sharing with
John O’Malley and Jack Sullivan
the October sunsets. In June the
sun disappears from our view
slightly northwest. This evening
the celestial orb was poised for a
moment in the prair e rim slightly
southwest, sky engulfed in golden
glory and a shadow laid across
the earth. Gone from view for
another day banners of nameless
colors connected us with the heav
ens. Calm evening merged into
night and the sun reflected back
its light from countless stars and
a nearly full moon. The stars
hold the appointed place through
the long night and the moon
moves along the route of the sun
disappearing from view before
break of day at the point where
the sun had set.
Some Union labor groups have
abandoned the legitimate purpose
for which unionism was started
and surrendered to agitators who
seek to change our form of gov
ernment, uphold crminals and
indeed head up their organiza
tions with men who have become
a marvel of craft and villainy.
One was suspected of connection
with Murder, Inc., which Dewey
brought to justice in N. Y. C.
One was pardoned out of a
federal penitentiary by executive
order and another saved from
deportation by the same sort of an
order. Some years ago unions
brought themselves into disre
pute by a nationwide call to free
the depraved Tom Mooney.
Unions have drifted along allow-1
ing crafty agitators to bring them
into public disfavor. There are
multitudes of men and women
who have union cards that are
not lined up with crafty agi
tators and vote as ther judgment
dictates. What then is involved
in the heavily financed campaign
of the communist agitators in be
half of the fourth term candi
date.
This, as quoted, is from Mon
day’s State Journal: “Mrs. Guy
Cole of Emmet, woman’s chair
man of the Nebraska Salvage
division, is a busy woman these
days but not too busy to remem-,
ber her college boys’ enthusaisms
for pheasants—the way they’re
cooked at home. A week end
visitor in Lincoln, Mrs. Cole
brought enough pheasants from
the sand hills of Nebraska to
serve the entire Sigma Nu Chap

Zane, Owen and Robert, are
i members. More, Mrs. Cole found
the time to help prepare and

...VOTE FOR...
DENNIS H. CRONIN
O'Neill, Nebraska
Non-Political Candidate for
LEGISLATURE
TWENTY-EIGHTH DISTRICT |
Comprising the Counties of Holt, Boyd,
Keya Paha and Rock
|
CAPABLE AND EXPERIENCED
To the Voters of the Twenty-eighth Legislative District:
At the time I filed for the nomination for the Legislature
from this district last March, it had been my intention to get
out over the district during the campaign and renew ac
quaince with Old friends and meet new ones. But you know
how the labor situation is and has been, and I find it im
possible to get away from the office, much as I would like to.
so I take this means of meeting you.
I have been a resident of Holt County practically all my
life. For several years I have been editor and publisher of
The Froifier, at O'Neill, which paper I still own and publish.
In the fall of 1910 I was nominated by the Republicans
of Holt County as a candidate for the Legislature from this
district, and was elected and held the office for eight years,
serving in the sessions of 1911, 1913, 1915 and 1917. In 1919
I was elected as a Republican to the State Senate and served
in the sessions of 1919 and 1921, from the 24th Senatorial
District, composed of the counties of Holt, Boyd, Keya Paha.
Garfield, and Wheeler counties. In 1921 was appointed by
President Harding as United States Marshal for the District
of Nebraska, #as reappointed by President Coolidge. and
served until May 1, 1932.
While in the Legislature in 1911 I authored and secured
the passage of the State Aid Bridge Law which has saved the
taxpayers of Niobrara river counties thousands of dollars by
reasons of state aid in the construction of bridges across the
Niobrara river.
I believe that appropriations should be kept to the mini
mum in these days of heavy Federal taxes brought on by the
war; I also believe in a short business session of the legislature.
I believe that I have the experience and the qualifications
to give the District able, conscientious representation. If you
believe I can be of service to the people of the District I will
appreciate your vote and support at the coming election.

The undefeated St. Mary’s
Cardinals traveled to Chambers
last Wednesday afternoon, where
they hung up their sixth consecu
tive victory of the season, as they
defeated the Chambers Coyotes
31-12. Golden and Clark were
the spark plugs for the Cardinals
as Clark scored three of the five
Cardinal touchdowns, while Gold
en played a fine offensive and de
fensive game. Score was tied 12
all at the end of the first period,
but then the Cards took the lead
when Clark struck pay dirt terri
tory and their lead from then on
was never relinquished. The
Cardinals will travel to Stuart
this Friday, where they have a
night engagement with the Bron
chos from Stuart High. St
Mary’s defeated Stuart 42-6 here
earlier in the season, but since
fchen the Bronchos have been
having better luck, and it should
be a good game, but the Cards
should win it and make is seven
straight. The Lincoln State Jour
nal Tuesday morning ranked St.
Mary’s seventh in the state six
man standings.
The O’Neill Eagles chalked up
their fourth consecutive victory
of the season, against two defeats,
last Wednesday when they travel
ed to Spencer and returned vic
torious By a 20-0 score. The first
touchdown of the game came on
a beautiful thirty-five yard run
to give the Eagles a 6-0 lead:
Then Matthews canght a pass to
make the score 7-0 in favor of
the Eagles. The other two Eagle
touchdowns came in the second
quarter when Fox caught a pass
in the end zone, Hungerford mak
ilng the extra point on a line
plunge. In the third quarter the
Eagles scored their last touch:
t down on another pass wihch was
1 caught by Matthews to give the
Eagles the 20-0 score. Hunger
! ford and Fox looked best for
the Eagles in hanging up their
fourth straight win. Burwell will
' invade the local fort this Friday
; evening in what will be the last
home game for O’Neill. The
kickoff will be at 8:00 under the
lights at Carney Park. Burwell
has a good team this year, but the
Eagles have improved with each
game so it should be a good one.
But I thnk the Eagles will make
it five straight.
Nebraska 24, Missouri 20. Yes,
that’s the full story of one of tho
most exciting games ever played
at the Lincoln Stadium. The
Cornhuskers, after being defeated
in three straight games and not
having scored a point finally got
under way last Saturday after
noon. before a homecoming
crowd of 9,500 at the Memorial
Stadium at Lincoln. The game
was scarcely under way, onlv
three minutes having elapsed,
when Lylie Kops, the Bassett,
Nobr., boy, recovered a fumble
on the Missouri seven yard line.
Then Chick Knight scored stand
ing up, on a reverse, to give the
Cornhuskers a 6-0 lead, as the
extra point was missed. Tins
quick touchdown was probably
the turning point of the game
and it might/ be the turning point
of the season for the Cornhuskers.
In the final minute of the first
period the Tigers got a break
when the officials ruled a pass
interference on the part of the
Huskers and that gave the Tigers
the ball on the Nebraska 20. Then
Collins passed to Exler for the
/touchdown and Jim KekeriiS
placement was good givng the
Tigers a 7-6 first quarter
lead The Cornhuskers scored
again in the second period
when Ed Gradoville faded
back and threw a 28-yard
pass to Dick Lamberty, which
climaxed an 80 y^rd march by the
Huskers and also gave them a 12
7 half time lead. Early in the
third period Missouri’s candidate
♦for All-American honors, Bill
Dellastations, ran 36 yards to j
put the Tigers in scoring terri
tory, with the ball on the Husk- j
ers 15. Then two plays 'at r
Dellastatious broke away for a
11-yard run and the second Miss
ouri score. Kekeris agan cam
through with the placemen,
which regained the lead for
Missouri by a 14-12 score. Then ■
later in the third period a beau-1
tiful 60 yardl punt return by Jack |
Selzer put the ball in scoring |
territory and a few plays later i
Jack faded back and P^h<£ a
9-yd. touchdown pass to Bill Bet’
which gave Nebraska an 18-12
lead which they never relin
miishod. In the final minutes o
the third quarter a 48-vard run
on an intercepted pass by substi
tute guard Ken Denrann se* un
the Dins for the final Huskers
touehdown, as in the opening
minutes of the final peJu?.d’
Junior Collopy, the Husker full’
bark, plunged over from the 4
giving the Huskers a 24-14 lead.
Thm Mssouri second stringer's
came in and after a long drive
Mickelson went across from the
two adding six more points to

Local Livestock Market
Sells Between 700. and
800 Cattle On Monday
There were between 700 and 800
head of cattle at the sale Monday
and the market was fully steady
with a week ago. There was a
nice run of yearling steers, but
no choice steers were there and
they sold from $10.50 to $12.00.
The yearling heifers were hard to
move and were barely steady and
sold from $7.25 to $8.00. A fair
run of sows showed up and the
market on them looked on the
strong side. A lot of calves were
in the yards and the market was
fully steady and selling from
$11.25 to $12.00 per hundred and
the plain kinds down as low at
$9.50 to $10.50.
More hogs than usual showed
up and the weights being changed
from 240 to 270 pounds caused a
break in the central market and
forced us to take the break also,
which was $13.85 for the choice
hogs. Sows and heavies brought
$12.75 to $13.25. The pig run was
light and they also showed some
signs of being weaker.
We had a nice run of lambs and
the price was satisfactory and
sold around the $12.00 mark. If
you have any lambs to sell, let us
know before Monday so we can
call our buyers.

of a Missouri pass deep in Corn
husker territory. And so the
Comhuskers, which were figured
to be beaten anywhere from 33
to 50 points, won heir first game
of the season. No single player
can be called outstanding, as they
all played a bang-up game with
hard tackling, blocking and runn
ing. This week-end the Cornhusk
ers will travel to Iowa City, where
they will engage the Iowa Hawk
eyes of the Big Ten. It should
be a good game, but if the Husk
ers can hold the spirit they had
in the Missouri game, they will
be hard to beat. __
