Taverns Do
Autumn House
Cleaning Too
Many Nebraska taverns are
doing a commendable job of
Paint-Up and Clean-Up this
autumn. Now that building
materials and repair* supplies
are more plentiful, many tav
erns are being improved and
renovated.
Most Nebraska taverns take
pride in operating in an orderly
manner, avoiding practices,
conduct or conditions that are
nor pleasing to the general
pub! ic.
Where taverns are found to be
unauractivc and where viola
tions of the law or the rules of
good conduct are noted, the
Nebraska Committee — now
m its 10th year of effective
operation — is quick to make
suggestions for improvement.
'vTbc Committee welcomes
suggestions from citizens with
a view to assisting state or local
governing bodies in connection
with the sale of beer.

It was during the Chicago
fair in thfe gayest period of
the gay ’90’s that the great
est ho. se race in history was
run. The starting point was
, in western Nebraska and the
goal was Buffalo Bill’s head
quarters on the Chicago fair
grounds. O’Neill was in on
most big things and lay on the
i route of the race.
Amonq the riders was the
well-known character here.
Doc Middleton. Doc was
something of a pride-swol
1 len boaster, but it took a
local Irish lad to put him in
his place during the stop of
some of the riders in O'
Neill. John Weeks, Den
Hunt, Tom Gallagher (or was
it Mike?) and a few oth
er young fellows were at
the Checkered livery barn
where Doc was with his
horses.
Looking the group over,
Doc said. When I was your
age in a Ending jump,I could
jump into an open 50-gallon
barrel.”
“How would you get out?”
one of the boys asked.
Doc replied that he merely
tipped the barrel over. An
empty barrel sat there and
was rolled out, Gallagher
challenging him to show them.
“I could not do it now,”
hedged Doc.
"Oh,” said Gallagher, “you
are one of those tias-beens!”
Whereupon he leaped into
the barrel and out again.
The notables amongst Ne
hnska democ ats are flutter
ing about on wings of the air
pumping up a somewhat de
flated party sentiment and
uster a rousing turnout at
•'m r^min" Grand Island con
vention. The wings will flut
ter, circle and light at the
O'Neill airport if the program
of visitations functions a s
scheduled. I trust that Judge
Harrington, John Sullivan and
Billy Biglin will see that the j
• 1 itine Jacksonian brethren
are properly fellowshipped up
on their arrival.

From the department of ag- |
riculture down at Washington
comes the word that there is j
ouch discarded stuff from
a tables in garbage
cans to feed Europe. So that
is what the agricultural ex

mother of modern civilization,

The poi'ularity of Lincoln as
an educational center grows
year by year. One college lo
cated at the capital city has
students f om 35 states, every
continent and nearly every
foreign country except Aus
tralia. After a voyage of 26
days, another black boy from
East Africa arrived at this
cnhruYl Insit week.
Don't thrust your literary
wit in the direction of an O’
Sullivan. It is amusing to us
out here on prairieland how
one of the tribe has made a
monkey of an erudite gent of
the venerable Boston Herald.
Well, Mike, as one of the coat
less mavericks who strayed
lrom his bunch-grass range, I
ran into the social grandeur
the wise men of the East are
enveloped in and was denied
admittance to a swank dining
room when I was caught
without a coat at 110 in the
shade.
The cultural standards of
decrepit old Boston require
that a gent wear a “jacket of
some sort” when they hook
into the grubstake in the pres
ence of ladies, who oddly
enough are required under
this same cultural standard
to come to table nearly nude,
and under the spell of dark
eyed witchcraft enthrall with
hypnotic charm the befuddled
guys buttoned to their chins
in Bostonian culture.
The rumble, grumble and
roar over high prices is no
new thing. It was the same
with bread at a nickel a
loaf, beans a nickel a pound,
flour under a dollar and
beef a dime. It acts as a
borl of safety valve whereby
to let off some of our
grouch against life.

Artists and poets, tourists
and thrill - chasers take the
trail to the gloomy forests,
cold mountain peaks, lonely
dark canyons, grotesque piles
of stone, rock-strewn abodes
of rattlers, rainless desert land
and call it scenery. The wild,
savage solitude in the heart
of the Rockies; the fatal brink
of a precipice on the trail in
the Sierra wilderness holding
the threat of hideous death
Scenery, yes—rugged, majes
tic, terrifying.
For quiet chasm or bound
less energy of sweeping winds,
for the flash of color of the
nodding goldenrod, for the
fragrance and pink beauty of
the rose, for the dainty tints
of the meadowbells, for the
song of birds and the sweep of
open lands and open sky come
to nrairieland.
A- daughter of prairieland is
now writing for The Frontier.
Her gifted pen will bring in
spiraton fresh from the mystic
lure of rural life in Holt coun
ty. Welcome Sister Pease!
If you don’t like ji indi
vidual or an outfit it comes
in handy to call them commu
nists.
