It s F air Time Again
Its fail time a^ Holt County Agricultural society,
One of the officials c* county fair, casually remarked
which annually sponsors oft-abused term “bigger and
52 £ ™ and greater sense than ever
^The idea was picked up and has been used in some of the
fair’s promotional activity for the 1949 exposition.
The Holt county fair, it might be said, is staging a come
back and during the recent post-war years it has mounted
in popularity and in qeneral acceptance.
In several Nebraska counties fairs were suspended during the
wa. and have failed to be revived.
In Holt county agriculture-particularly Iwestock-hM made
great strides and this improvement is being reflected at the fair
where the county’s finest products are shown and where fitting
recognition is made.
The Frontier believes that the county fair, generally speaking,
is one of the finest, most wholesome institutions in the country.
We sincerely feel that fairs should be encouraged, exhibitors
should receive ample recognition, and that the custom should be
perpetuated and improved upon as years go by.
In the livestock industry alone, Holt county products are
aecond-to-none in the world, not to mention our hay, bluegrass,
and other products. It seems to us we’d be a poor fish if we didn’t
provide a means to display and admire these wares.
In addition, the fair is a folksy place—where you can meet
your neighbors and friends, where there is an abundance of good,
clean entertainment.
Gone are the day* of the horse races and fan fare that
accompanied the original Holt county fairs ih O'Neill. But
down at Chambers, fair-goers will see near-perfect specimens
of modern agriculture, they will witness a first-class rodeo,
they will meet their friends and they will have an opportunity
to witness high-type entertainment.
The Frontier feels that the rebounding Holt county fair—this
year avowed to be “bigger and better than ever”—isn’t a mere
coincidence. It is the result of year-around interest and activity
on the part of a handful of good citizens. We are impelled to men
tion here the names of some of those who are helping to make
this year’s fair “bigger and better.”
They are:
Officers (1949): George Rowse, Chambers, president; Lloyd
Gleed, Chambers, vice-president; Edwin R. Wink, Chambers, sec
retary; Vern Sageser, Amelia, treasurer. Directors: H. R. Holcomb,
Chambers; Harry Ressel, O’Neill; C. V. Robertson, Chambers,
T. E. Alderson, Chambers; Steve Shavlik, Chambers; Henry Wood,
Ewing, Superintendents: Henry Wood, Ewing, livestock; Carl
Lambert, Ewing, farm products; Bernice Grimes, Chambers, fruit
and flowers; Mrs. Loa Hubbard, Chambers, needle art; A. Neil
Dawes and Viola Damkroger, 4-H club; Wave Farrier, Chambers,
pantry stores.
This issue of The Frontier includes a 24-page supplement
The supplement contains the official premium list for the 1949
fair. The tabloid is a departure from the usual premium hand
book and a copy of this issue of The Frontier is entering virtually
every mail box in Holt county, conveying the official premium
list. Arrangements for publication of the premium list were in
the hands of the fair officials.
The Frontier is proud to have a vital and important part in
the Holt county fair . . . and we’ll see you there!

No Telling What Will Turn Up Next
About Boy Who Got Start in 0 Neill
By ROMAINE SAUNDERS
LINCOLN — At 93 George
Bernard Shaw is wholly indif
ferent as to what the world
thinks of him—a grand o 1 d
man, an old nut or a silly sim
pleton who tries to be funny.
A pitiful fig
from day-to
day, with an
M. D. sup
porting h i s
80 odd years,
trouser legs
pressed stiff
as a board,
shining bald
pate, recent
ly having
taken nn hie
„ . third bride,
Romame and trying to
Saunders step 'ro*nd
like a colt.
Maybe that’s one way to beat
the inexorable revenges of
time. But another old timer
says the best way to beat it is
to die young. Another gent is
is in evidence who wears sup
penders, has elastic bands on
his arms above the elbows,
drives a model A and makes
one concession to the moderns
by going about bare-headed.
Who was it said, “What fools
we mortals be?"
Maybe we should qualify
that by inserting the adjective
harmless.

On the other corner of the
block there is a former pal of
Sir Harry Lauder by the name
of James Rodney. He and Lau
der mined coal together in the
mines at Hamilton, Scotland,
in the happy days of their
youth. Lauder became a world
stage notable while Rodney is
content to be a common citiz
en in his adopted land, main
tain his home, care for his
blind wife and for diversion
releases his Scotch heritage in
verse.
Here are two stanzas from
a poem on “Texas”:
Our forebears sure did strut
their stuff
And told King George, that’s
enough,
This tax upon our good wives’s
tea,
By Heck, we won’t pay, no
siree.
But in these modern times,
O Gee,
So many taxes near swamp
me.
No matter how I howl and
plead
They tax and tax my iron
steed.

At the state conference of
Free Methodists at Ansley the
name of I. I. Dixon appears as
the minister for the Bethany
church near Amelia.

With six percent of the world’s
population the United States
has three-fifths of the 60 million
telephones in use scattered over
the globe.
On a rain-soaked Wednes
day morning I heard the story
of the haying crew that put
up the hay for the church
building fund of the Methodist
group at Inman, as broadcast
by The Frontier’s announcer,
Chuck Apgar. When informed
that it took the crew 15 or 20
minutes to run up a stack of
hay the announcer, who was
asking the questions, seemed
uncertain as to whether he
heard right. Maybe because
Chuck is from down this way
where they take a day for
putting up a stack of hay he
thought he was being kidded.
A Holt county outfit could put
! up all the hay in Lancaster
county in a day if they could
get at it. This is a grain and
pig country down here and the
clod hoppers are hopeful of
plenty of corn for the pigs.

Gullible citizens of our fair
land will lay into the laps of
fortune-tellers and smoothsay- i
ers a cool 200-million-dollars i
in this year of grace 1949. It
makes the crystal ball fratern
ity chuckle and calls to mind
the fool and his money is soon
parted. There is just as much
the statement of scripture that
information about the future
contained in a little card that
comes shooting at you when
you slip a nickel into one of
those weighing devices in every
dime store, but it of course
lacks the shadowy mystery of
that becomes so alluring upon
entering the awe-inspiring pre
sence of the fake seers.
