‘Plan Wildlife Area
Now for ’53—Hill
Now is the time to be planning
a wildlife area for 1953 if you
wish to take advantage of the
services offered by the state game
commission through the Holt soil
conservation district, explained C.
R. ("Bob”) Hill, unit conserva
tionist this week.
If you have an area of from V4
to 10 acres, at least Vi mile from
the house, V4 m:le or more frcwn
other woody cover, and within V4
mile of cropland and would like
to see it developed into a place
for food and shelter for wildlife,
then the fulfillment of a plan is
simple.
Under those conditions the
game commission will plant the
area to conifers and shrubs, fenefl
the area and cultivate the trees
for the first year at no cost to
you. However, you will need to
prepare the ground for planting
and continue to keep up the fence
and cultivate the trees as neces
sary after the first year, Hill said.
In the past such areas have
been planted on the following
places in Holt county:
Ryan estate, O’Neill; Theo.
Baumeister, Amelia; Charles V.
Cole, Star; Gerald DeGroff, Ame
lia; Claude Lierman, Amelia;
County Judge L. W. Reimer. O’
Neill.
In 1952 four plantings will be
made as follows:
Hans C. Lauridsen, Atkinson;
Thila Possenecker, Atkinson; L.
D. Putnam, O’Neiil; Fora Knight,
O’Neill.
Three requests have already
been received for 1953 plantings.
They are:
LeRoy Backhaus, O’Neill; Earl
Eppenbaugh, O’Neill, and R. E.
Tunender, Atkinson.

For Lack of Better Project Farm Bureau
Now Seeks Wholesale Merger of Counties
By ROMA1NE SAUNDEP®
LINCOLN—The Nebraska farm <
bureau federation, maybe lacking
anything else at present to en
gage the bureau’s attention, pro
poses the reduction of the num
ber of Nebraska counties by a
process of consolidation.
At one stage of our county his
tory, Atkinson and Ewing busy
bodies tried re
peatedly to
split - up Holt
county. With
the modern
means of get
ting around,
Holt and Boyd
patriots might
well say, why
go our separate
ways, let us the
twain unite.
For practical
Romaine purposes Boyd
Saunders was once at
tached to Holt
county a° was the territory to
the west. Wheeler, Garfield, Val
ley and Greeley could well be
united in one county, as could
also Brown, Rock and Keya Paha.
Nebraska has 93 county organ
izations and these may well be
reduced by half in the interests
of economy without detriment to
the public service in the various
communities.
The state of Delaware gets a
long with 3 counties, while huge
Texas has 254 county government
setups. Whether consolidation of
counties can ever be brought a
bout in view of local “home
rule’’ traditions is anybody’s ,
guess.

The spirit of the martyr lives
in the materialistic age. “CO” is
the newspaper’s vulgar way of
referring to a group of indus
trious and law-abiding citizens
who refuse to take part in the
universal war cry. Conscientious
objection, ready to go to jail or
the stake rather .than violate
conscience. I wonder if it does
not take more of the spirit of
heroism than to shoulder a rifle
and go with the crowd. And in
official circles these people are
being badgered around with such
questions as relate to bearing
arms in defense of the nation, po
lice protection and dealing with
the criminal element, why they
should be excused from bearing
arms while others in the commu
nities in which they live are
drawn into the slaughter? In the
first place, we are not defending
the nation by going abroad to
lick some other fellow. Compar
ing the tragedies of war with po
lice protection seems silly. The
neighbor of the “CO” who goes
to war has the same right as the
“CO” to refuse to go on conscien
tious grounds. Now the "WM"
(war mongers) clamor for mili
tary training of all young Amer
icans. Let young America take a
stand in defense of home and
country but no more foreign
wars. Our military establishment
is ample to defend us against all
comers if kept on the alert,
eschewing dress parades and
wild parties.

An aged Nebraska woman has
told her story. In the years now
gone she took under her care and
guidance a young homeless child.
The child is now grown to wom
anhood. Through the years the
woman and girl combined their
efforts and earnings to get them
a little home they could call their
own. The girl then ventured forth
into an unfriendly world to make
her way. The woman, now re
ceiving a pittance and assigning
the little home to the state, alone
and lonely, asked her foster child
to return and stay with her,
which she did. Then a warning to
the aged woman from the state
‘ assistance1' management that the
girl must leave that little home
by a certain date, or else. Are
those entrusted to look to the
welfare of our old folks employ
ing the methods functioning in
the underworld and thus causing
sorrow to rest upon the head of
a helpless old woman? Woe unto
them that decree unrighteous de
crees, wurns the Prophet Isaiah,
"that widows may be their prey,
and that thdy may rob the father
less." This cannot be the intent
of our state assistance laws but
if they are so being applied the
> legislature has a duty to perform !
in providing a remedy.
A gent operating a bone mill
advertised that persons sending
him “their own bones would
have them promptly and thor
oughly ground at bottom prices."
Another on the ludicrous phras
ing of an ad: “For sale, a fine
bull dog, willreat anything, very
fond of children." “A brindle
cow has been lost by an old
woman with brass knobs on her
horns.” And sometimes the news
writers ge«t off an ambiguous I
one. “A child was run over this ;
afternoon by a' runaway horse
wearing a red dress which never
spoke afterwards.” “Many years
ago I rode over these prairies
with my dear wife who has long
since gone to heaven in a buggy."
“A respectable widow wants
washing.”
