11-Cent Spuds and Other Things
Can you remember 11-cent
potatoes? Down in the city a
short time ago I bought 10
pounds of potatoes for my
daughter-in-law for 42 cents,
which meant $2.52 a bushel.
They say Uncle Sam has mil
lions invested in spuds that
have rotted. Quite probable;
merely another incident of the
monumental folly down at
Washington.
But what were you going to
say about 11-cent potatoes?
Mike Sullivan, John Mann,
Fred Pfunder and other early
O’Neill merchants loaded
many cars down on the rail
road tracks with 11-cant and
15-cent per bushel spuds. The
sod house homesteader was a
great potato and melon grower.
He couldn’t do much with the
melon only eat them and give
them away, other than the
lady of the sodhouse convert
ing the rinds into preserves if
if she could trade in enough
5-cent a dozen eggs to to get
the sugar. But potatoes, they
represented silver dollars —
a dollar as big as a wheal of
the wagon out by the hay shed.
Lt took a lot of potatoes to
represent a dollar, but home
steaders had lots of them. Fifty
bushels hauled to town meant
at least $11 — a sack of flour,
footwear for the family, mit
tens and a bar of soap.
A tough way to live, you
say. Maybe so. But it made
men and women who faced
life unafraid, knew what it
was to “root hog or die” and
forged on the anvil of indi
vidual effort a heritage that
this generation just takes for
granted. If reduced to boiled
potatoes and corn bread, could
we| still honor father and moth
er by holding our heads high?
• • •
So man has tapped the basic
power of the universe, has he,
I wonder. Basic power is to
create, give life, growth. What
man has brought forth in
shuddering horror destroys,
blows to fragments, kills — to
his shame outrivals the death
Angel. By calculation of an
exact science, the hand of man
snaps the lifeline of multi
tudes in the fraction of a
second; but he cannot give life
to the merest speck of an in
sect.
In Morrill Hall down at our
capital city are collections of
about every beast and bird
and creeping thing—life
less, motionless specimens of
the taxidermist’s clover hands.
What’s wrong? Why does the
hyena not bark and the Bengal
tiger wave a threatening tail?
The hand of man has brought
the outward forms to perfec
tion but no warm lifeblood
flows to nerve centers; the
stuffed shell must forever re
main lifeless, motionless, and
not able to give life why does
man defy the only being en
dowed with “basic power?”

Here is your opportunity to get a good price for your top

At the same time you will advertise Holt county cattle.
List calves with either James W. Rooney or Neil Dawes.

COMMERCIAL CALF SALE
We will need about 2,000 calves. We have 350 calves
consigned up to Sept. 261h. Calves will be sold in order
as listed. List your calves as early as possible with James
j Fredrickson, manager, O'Neill Sale Barn.
A fastidious old coyote, may
be something largqr of the lobo
tribe, has killed 12 sheep over
at the Bly ranch. He makes a
j specialty of lamb liver, but
will hamstring a calf if the
cow is off guard. Lobo’s treat
ment of a sheep is unique. The
first act is to close his
j fangs over the jugular vein,
which leaves the victim bmp.
The belly is torn open to let
the vitals out. He makes
feast on the warm liver, then
trots away. As hunger urges
him back to the flock, the dead
sheep is ignored, maybe be
cause he suspects poison, and
closes his jaw over the throat
of another victim.
Perhaps nothing in the vast
variey of animated creatures
is quite so de.enseless before an
enemy at a sheep.
