Tailor-Made Minstrel Jokes
Win 1897 O'Neill Audience
50 Years Ago
Mr. and Mrs. E. P. Hicks re
turned from Stuttgart, Ark.,
where they had been visiting
their daughter, Mrs. Henry De
Yarman. . . The academy dra
matic company presented the
melodrama entitled “Botany
Bay,” to a crowded house. Crit
ics pronounce it one of the best
plays ever produced by the
company. . . Donald Campbell,
the consulting engineer ih
charge of the Big Ditch, was an
eastbound passenger. . . The
minstrel entertainment given by
the musical union was a success
in every particular. The pro
gram opened with a minstrel
circle, 13 men and eight ladies,
all trimmed in the blackest-of
black. Nearly all the jokes
sprung on the unsuspecting
public were original and cut to j
ifit some of the audience.
Among the songs sung we wish j
to mention: “Rastus on Pa
rade,” by Messrs. O’Donnell and
Dowling: “In the Shadow of the j
Pines,” by Miss Porter; “Pan
sy, Does You Love Your Baby,”
by Mr. Stout: “Call Me Back,”
by Miss Tess O’Sullivan. “The
Skirt Dance,” by Mae Skirving
and “Sallie” Gwin, was the j
crowning effort of the program. |
. . . Advertisement: “ ‘Excuse j
me.’ observed the man in spec
tacles, ‘but I am a surgeon and |
that is not where the liver is.’ j
‘Never you mind where the liv- ;
er is,’ retorted the other, ‘if it
was in his big toe or left ear
DeWitt’s Little Early Risers
would reach it and shake it for
him. On that you can bet your
gig-lamps!’ Morris & Co.”
25 Years Age
United States Marshal D. H. j
Cronin, of O’Neill, had a nar
row escape from serious injury
when he was struck by an auto- I
mobile at Sixteenth and Dodge 1
streets in Omaha. . . Ezra Mal
com Jameson, 22, gave himself ,
up to Mayor C. M. Daly. He
drove into town from Nichols,
la., where he had stolen the ma
chine that belonged to a rela
tive. He reached here in a hea
vy mist and drizzle tirtd, cold
broke, hungry—and somewhat
remorseful. . . Noil P. Brennan
advertised Victor records, in
cluding John McCormick in:
“Little Town in Ould County
Down.” “Where the River
Shannon Flows,” “When You
Look into the Heart of a Rose,”
and “Wearing of the Green,” at
75-cents each. . . Ora G. Adkins,

The transfer of the new Holt
county courthouse building to
the county has been delayed a
week because of bad weather,
which prevented the architect
and building contractors from

Some light - fingered gentry
forced an entrance to the relief
supply station on the corner of
Sixth and Douglas streets, mak
ing away with five mattresses,
six quilts, 32 pounds of prunes,
and a sack of grapefruit. . . The
Frontier is in receipt of a letter
from George W. Davies, of
Lincoln, for many years a resi
dent of Ewing and later of In
man, in which Mr. Davies
mourns the passing of Chaun
cey Keyes. “But,” he says, “as
I look back and think slowly,
I realize that we are all getting
along in years. My father took
a homestead 10 miles south and
two west of Ewing in 1886,
coming to Nebraska from Penn
sylvania in 1884.”. . . Romaine
Saunders reported: “George
Cutter was the first to go
through with a car going east
to Amelia when the “tunnels”
were shoveled out. He got
stalled at one point bv sliding
o‘f the grade.”. . . Deaths: John

When a woman gazes with envy
on her neighbor’s lovely hooked
rugs she invariably makes up her
mind that before the end of an
other day she is going to be busy
on one of her own. Chances are,
however, that she dismisses the
idea with the thought that she’s
hand. Faded kitchen curtains, that
old rayon dress, woolen skirts and
jackets, and nylon stockings are
among the tilings that can be sal- j
vaged from the rag bag to make j
into rugs. And when dyed with an

contrary each precious minute that
was spent on her rugs was prob

rising, while she was catching her

when the neighbors dropped in for

And you can make one at your

By A. Neill Dawes
Holt County Agent
James Beck, from Cleveland
township, retiring member of
the Holt County Farm Bureau
board, is one of the persons who
back in 1930 felt the need of
; agricultural extension work in
the county and did something
| about it. Along with others h»
circulated petitions asking the
board of supervisors to appro
priate funds to carry on the
work in Holt county.
At the organization meeting
in December, 1930, he was elect
ed a member of the board.
When the request for funds to
carry on the work was refused
by the supervisors and it was
necessary to file mandamus suit
against the supervisors for the
money, he was one of the board
members who financially back
ed the board to get the neces
sary funds to hold the suit. He
has been on the board contin
uously since its organization
Vets* Failure to Tell
Doctors Endangers
Pay for Treatment
Smooth operation of a program
to permit Nebraska veterans to
obtain treatment at VA expense
from their own physicians for
service-connected disabilities is
being endangered by silence, it
was pointed out this week by Ira
M. DeWalt, Veterans Adminis
tration contact representative at
Ainsworth, who explained that
too many veterans are failing to
tell their doctors promptly that
they expect the VA to pay for
the treatment they seek.
Out-patient treatment for a
service-connected disability by a
private physician may be auth
orized and paid for by the VA
provided the VA receives notice
within 15 days from the date the
treatment begins, DeWalt said.
In emergency cases where im
mediate hospitalization is neces
sary, the VA’s medical officer at
the Lincoln regional or the Oma
ha subregional office must have
notice within 72 hours after the
veteran has been admitted to the
hospital in order to authorize
and pay for hospitalization and
treatment.
“More and more cases are com
ing to light in which the veteran
waited until long after the treat
ment was completed to tell the
doctor to bill the VA for his serv
ices,’’ DeWalt said. “Such delays
may keep the physician from get
ting his fee and in the long run
| may cause the whole program to
bog down."
He urged veterans, if at all pos
sible, to clear with the VA before
j seeking treatment and, in any
J event, to tell their physicians in
j advance if the treatment is ex- j
j pected to be at VA expense.
DeWalt warned, too, that non
I sej vice-connected disabilities are
not eligible for treatment at VA
expense under this program.

and with his aid has seen the
work grow until now some form
of extension work is carried on
in all parts of the county. He
has always stood for efficiency
and economy in management,
and has faithfully performed
all his duties as a board mem
ber. The present board owes a
debt of gratitude to him for his
long period of service.
In thinking back over the
long period of time in which
D. E. Bowen, of Page, served
as a board member and a leader
in promoting extension work in
Holt county, Mr. Bowen re
marked, “I recall the days of
the farmers institute and how
interested the people were.”
Admits Gains Influence
Since that time he has been
active in extension work. He
has served as treasurer of the
farm bureau board for a
number of years and says that
he fitst started being interested
in extension work after hearing
Newton E. Gains, well-known
extension speaker, who had
talked in every town in
Nebraska and with a smile
Mr. Bowen said he "had never
known any one like Mr. Gains.”
In commenting o n exten
j sion work, he stated the devel
opement of 4-H clubs was prob
ably the most outstanding ex
tension work in which he had a
part. Boys and girls were en
couraged to be interested in
farming and homemaking and
4-H club work has caused out
standing livestock improvement
throughout the county.
Says Mr, Bowen, “Before
4-H club boys and girls began
to show the farmers and ranch
ers in this area the value and
advantage of selecting an out
standing herd sire, the cattle
industry had not improved a
great deal, but since then people
have become conscious of the
value of type and quality.”
Lauds Conservation
He also spoke of the intro
duction of hybrid seed corn
and new varieties of small grain
which the extension service
sponsored had helped in grain
production in the county. “Oh,
yes!”, says Mr. Bowen, “one of
the worthwhile projects that
extension services has helped
with was the establishment of a
soil conservation district. I have
lived in Iowa township for 35
years and I believe soil conser
vation should have been started
40 years ago.” Other comments
made by Mr. Bowen were those
of the development of the wo
men’s work through the project
clubs in the county and the girls
4-H club work which helped to
make better homemakers thro
ughout the county. “If fwere to
make only one request for
extension work in the county,”
said Mr. Bowen, “I would ask
for greater emphasis upon 4-H
club work and the training of
our rural youth.”
