For a week Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Roberts, living in the Burlington depot, heard the plaintive tones of a bawling calf but were unable to locate from where the sound came. Finally, Mr. Roberts, tiring of the monotonous cries and be lieving that possibly the crea ture was in distress, decided to trace the sounds which appear ed to come from an old storm cave, which had not been used for some time. Opening the door, he was somewhat taken aback when a calf climbed the steps leading from the under ground prison to freedom. Investigation proved that the calf had fallen in through the roof which had caved in when the animal attempted to walk over the top. The animal be longed to Clarence Geers, who owns considerable stock and had not missed it. Mr. Geers gave the calf a small amount of dry fed before permitting it to have water. He stated that he believed it had lost nearly 100 pounds in weight, but otherwise it seems none the worse for its solitary confinement.

I ‘Miss Holt’ Now Successful Model ATKINSON — Miss Laquita Parsons, whose parents are Mr. and Mrs. Guy Parsons, has hit the big time in Kansas City. Mo., modeling circles.

Quinn. ~orn Yield Is Reported Average’ Unseasonal mild weather has prevailed in the O’Neill area as virtually all farmers have completed their conrpicking. Throughout the county, farm ers estimate that the com is yielding about 25 bushels to the acre According to Holt County Agent A. Neil Dawes over a 20-year period, the coun ty average yeild would stand between 15 and 17.5 bushels per acre. E. A. Morgan, who lives Northwest of O’Neill, said his com yielded about 30-bushels per - acre. This, he said, was “average.” Clarence Ernst, who owns 1,300 acres near the Emmet community, said all of his crops yielded good this year with the exception of the small grain. Here the aphid infesta tion did such extensive dam age, that in some places the small grain crop was neglig ible. Meanwhile, a good rain is needed to send the Winter wheat and rye crop into the Winter in good shape. If mois ture fails to come before the freezing and severe weather sets in, there is a possibility of the crop drying out. How ever, observers were unable to agree on the amount of rain the county needs.
