Modern Rodeo Nags and the
Real Wild Ones Are Different
By HOMAINE SAUNDERS
LINCOLN One million men
have been killed while serving
in the armed forces of the United
States. One
million deso
lated homes,
one million
lives swept
through S t y
gian gloom hy
the ruthless
hand that
wields the
sword. Death
haunts all liv
ing. Stand be
fore the mirror,
Saunders }«* ful‘ %
the face that is
revealed there. The bloom of
youth tints the cheeks, luster
glows from dark eyes, red bps
part over even rows of teeth- In
a year, 10 years, 50 years look
again. Bloom faded, luster turned
to ashes, time's wrinkles mark
the once smooth features, silver
streaks the hair, red Ups faded
and drawn into a cavity over
toothless gums Sisty, 70, 80, and
life's fitful dream u over In the
avenues of quiet life, amid the
horrors of battle fields, stalking j
highways and hovering in the
air, death is on the march.
The last enemy to be destroyed
is death.
Medical science prolongs lift
for a day. a month, a year; stands
frustrated and helpless when the
cold hands of death close over
another victim. When the rever
berations of a wrecked and lost
world peel forth, when the rec
ord of the ages in its raw reality
is revealed, what then—out of
earth’s storms into eternity’s
calm?

The Burwell rodeo drew a
crowd of 10,1)00 the opening day.
Just what is the fascination m a
gu.v havuig his gizzard shook out
of him by a plunging cay use or
risking his neck tussling with an
enraged buU? It is within the
memory of many now Uving
when untamed horses by the
hundreds were part of the picture
on Nebraska prairies. It took the
best in the business to throw his I
lasso loop around the neck of a
little brown bronc, cinch a dou- j
ble rigged saddle on and ride
him. The rodeo nags are trained
to do their stuff and soon call it |
a day The teal wild ones were
something else. One of the early
day 'rodeos” at O'Neill was put
on by Ab Wilcox and Make Flan
nigan when a bunch of raw po- !
triots like Eli Hershiser, Sam
Barnard, Joel McEvoney and
Billy Heed rode 'em, and it took
a half day to wear the vinegar
out of a raw one from the Swan
Lake country.

One generation builds and
plants; another generation
takes over to pull down and

fancy names to replace the P.

\n Omaha school man joins the
tew others of the country’s ped
agogic group in denouncing the
•oyalty oath law as “unconstitu
tional and immoral.” A lot of pa
’ riots think it is neither inunor
U‘,v unconstitutional nor needless,
vv hen educators take that atii
the public suspects them. What
is immoral, unconstitutional or
unreasonable in requiring of any
qne who lives off of the sweat,
and toil of those who furnish the
funds to maintain public schools
from publicly declaring that he
is a loyal American? An argu
ment, rather flimsy coming from
a university man. is that com
munists will subscribe to the
loyalty oath. That wiU either
a loyal patriot t«k >i him
or his disloyalty will soon be re- '
veaied and out he goes. Those
who object to subscribe to an
oath of loyalty to the American
traditions are not needed in the
educational field or other public
services. ,
Grain fields in southeast Ne
braska that survived the water
and mud of early summer have
been beaten into pulp and torn
to shreds in a number of commu
nities hv bail and wind. The in
exoitble elements of angry na
ture have blown their wrath a
cross the land and as men view
then beaten fields it takes cour
age to snule and go at it again.
Hut m many places the loss falls
on hail and storm insurance com
panies. And other insured farms
will have to take up the slack.
A large farm operator in the ter
ritory 2 hours' drive southwest of
Lincoln who has escaped direct
hail loss said the other dav he
had that day put $310 of his mon
ey into the purse of a hail insur
ance organization and expected
nothing for it other than the slip
of paper that bore the pledge,
signed and sealed, of the fellows
who took his money.

White collars, colorful ties
and soft hands mark the toil
conservation and flood con
trolera at the group who offer
themselves in sacrifice to save
the farmers and undo the
course of nature as it brings
prairieland its weather condi

will be planning windbreaks
to catch the drifting sands
from denuded fields.

Over 10 million wedding rings
are produced vearly by the busy
makers as against something ov
er 1.600,000 annual marriages.
Dime stores do a big business m i
wedding rings that oass for the
real stuff for a month or so. Un
married women are wearing
them as a bluff to cover clande
stine affairs of questionable mor
al rating, as well as some flaunt
ing a third finger ring hoping it
will protect them from wolves of
society. The wedding ring is of'
ancient origin and seems origi- 1
nally to have been a band of I
slaverv and servitude rather than j
the emblem of love, “two souls 1
with but a single thought, two
hearts that beat as one."

If you are one from whose fa

incense you are contributing your
share to the 4 billions of dollars
streaming annually into the cof
fers of the Luckies, the Old Golds
and kindred industries. , . . The
New York Times, sent daily to
each member of the British
House of Commons, is among the
free handouts our federal gov
ernment pays for. . . . Nearly a

“For rulers are not a terror to
good works, hut to the evil." By
the authority delegated to him as
chief executive Governor Peter
son announced that he would re
move from office local authori
ties who wink at gambling in
their community. Gambling has
become a national disgrace until
(he federal government has be
come aroused and Nebraska’s
governor is in harmony with the
federal program. Like a mother
who I have heard say to one
of her childit-n, “I mean it!" I
when telling the child what not I
to do, I believe Governor Val
means it.
If you care to get first hand
the blasts of that fighting Irish
man from Wisconsin as he holds
up to public view some alleged
knaves in key government posi
tions you should be at the state
fair grounds at B o’clock the eve
ning of Tuesday, August B. Sena
tor McCarthy is under appoint
ment to address Nebraska pa
triots at that time and no doubt
will attract many from various
political groups.

In the death of Edgar Howard,
Nebraska lost one of its greatest
editorial writers, and in the
death of William Randolph
Hearst the country loses the most
picturesque as well as the richest
publisher of this generation. Both
reached a great age.

From what is visible of the na

of vastly more importance to
“look into” on the part of the
chief executive and the congress
than the way ball games are
pulled off.

Picnic in Atkinson
Park on Hay Days—
The regular meeting of the
Riverside 4-H club was held at ,
the O. Ross home Sunday, Au
gust 12. Roll call was answered
with a name of a month and its
meaning. There were 5 members
absent.
Discussions were local and
county achievement days, pur
chasing a stove for the stand, and
finishing the float for hay days.
All attended hay days and en- ;
joyed a picnic dinner in the park.
The next meeting will be local '
achievement day at the old j
courthouse August 26. The club I
rosary will be at the Leo Schnei- I
der home Tuesday, September 4.

There were about 300 butcher
hogs and sows, and from 225 to
250 feeder pigs included on the
offering at the Thursday, August
16, sale at the O’Neill Livestock
Market.
Top butchers, 190 to 240 pound
ers, went from $22.00 to $22 50;
240 to 270 pounders, from $21.75 to
$22.00; 270 to 300 pounders, from
$21.25 to $21.75, with a very few
heavier butchers. Good smooth,
light sows, weighing from about
250 to 300 pounds, were quoted
from $19.50 to $2000; from 300
to 400 pounds, from $18.50 to
$19.50; heavier hogs sold on
down. Those stags were bringing
$15.00 to $17.00 and boars from
$11.00 to $12.50.
As expected, there were more
cattle at the O’Neill sale this
week — around 300 head. This
probably will be the trend for
the next few weeks—fewer hogs
and more cattle. With the short
ening of the hog run, those hog
sales henceforth will start
promptly at 1 o’clock.
