I Prairieland Talk — All Presidential Primary Idea Does Is to Split Parties into Factions By ROMAINE SAUNDERS LINCOLN—April. A morning bathed in the goid of uncurtained sunbeams, clouds brushed be yond the horizon’s rim and the blue sky mantling the sun drenched morning. Flowers in gay colors have begun to appear nere and tnere, bud and bloom springs from the grey earth, robins and larks find nest ing places, wild water fowl wing their way to the north - land, sons of the soil out with the trac tors across fi elds and back Romaini* ?«am« stirring the wet land, Saunders plowing and sowing i n hope, primary elections over— leaving disappointed hopes for the defeated and glad hearts within the bosom of victors. The unsuccesful boys are thus spared the agony tnat awaits some of today’s happy hearts in November. ... Ed Earley out on the Eagle may remember them. Anyway, they recall with a glow of pleasure Ed as a neighbor a good many years back wnen they were citizens of the Eagle creek country, now on a farm a few miles out from Lincoln. I ran across (Mr. and Mis. E. C. McCall on the street one day recently and some events of other years in Kbit county came into review during our half-hour together. Mr. Me hasn’t gained a pound in weight since he left Holt county but he can talk hybrid corn like an expert, while Mrs- Me retains the poise and well-being of a competent farm woman. • * * He thought things wexe com ing his way to relieve the household financial stringency when he got notice of an in crease of $8 per month in his pay.

Why pick up such at a newsstand with a great moral, cultural, family journal like The Frontier available for a whole year for only two-fifty? (Editor’s note: Amen.) * * * In bowing out, Mr. Truman made it an occasion to insult Fred Watson, Ira Moss, Henry Grady and every republican from Abraham Lincoln to Robert A. Taft. As chief executive, does he represent the Aimerican people or a group of his own choosing? Robert W. McGinnis, once a fa miliar figure down at Amelia, where everybody called him Bob, with a few friends at the break fast table at the Lincoln hotel a morning early last week was ob serving his 87th birthday anni versary. Mr. McGinnis makes his home in Fremont, and in the active period of life was a divi sion superintendent of the North Western railroad, had creamery interests near Amelia, and at one time established such in O’Neill at Third and Douglas streets- The late Ernest Henry, of a pioneer Minneola family, was the engin eer at the McGinnis plant during its operation in O’Neill. Having had experience as a printer and founder of the Chambers Eagle in the long ago, Mr. Henry after leaving the creamery became the first linotype operator at The Frontier plant and the first in Holt county. • • * “May I, as one who has been through the fire and has been severely burnt, say that you may be on the path to destruction — at least the desstruction of your holme—when you find in the company of any other person, in any other place, more enjoyment than you find in the company of your own wife in your own home.” These are the words of an old man who has been for 40 years behind prison walls be cause of a life of crime starting from absenting himself from his home and from the wife of his youth. * * * A Fat Donohoe, Mike Roris key and other anglers of the com munity are interested in chang ing their luck by going after something beside northern pike, i learn of 250 kinds of fish in one locality that sizzle appetizingly in the skillet.

But you can get a boatload each, just a nice size for the rying pan, all finned and scaled alike, in most any sandhills Jake down in southwest Holt county. * * * Jn voting tne nomination to benator Buuer, republicans who love tne Bora nave tollowed the Biblical injunction, Rise up be lure me noary neau and honor uie face ot me old man. ...

A gentleman from an Iowa city visuea Tne frontier one day to pay us tne compliment of getting uUi tne best country paper ne had yet s^en. ne was in tne county rooking after his ranching inter est in tne hwan Lake country. Tnat was just 50 years ago . . . in tnat year, 1«02, a gent down in tne hwan Lake community, mmer helix, ran a notice in The rrontier tnat he had executed a chattel mortgage covering “1 bay norse 9-year-oid, weight 900; 1 grey horse, 10-years-old, weight 1,000; 1 bay mare, 10-years-old, weignt 9oU; also second mortgage on 1 spotted cow, 7-years-old; 1 red cow, 5-years-old, and 1 roan cow, 6-years-old” to secure a note for $75, given to a man by the name of J. D. Jones. Which note, he was giving notice to the world, ne would not pay as “it was se cured by fraud.” - - f As I view it, delegates chosen for the national party conven tions should not be hamstrung by “instructions”. If they are qualified to go as a delegate to a convention of their political faith certainly they should be free to act upon their best judg ment. The group sentiment of those gathered in convention may not be in harmony with “in structions” yet be for the best in terests of the party as a whole. * * * Methodist Bishop Arthur J. Moore, of Atlanta, Ga., throws out the warning that “the most serious challenge” to relegious and moral forces today is the “disintregation of home life.” Too j many attractions to draw away from the home. Student Nurse Visits — Miss Amy Christensen arrived Tuesday from Omaha where she is a student nurse at the Methodist hospital. She will be a guest of her sister and brother-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Lional Siefken. Mrs. James Christensen, of Norfolk, will arive today (Thursday) and will also be a guest at the Sief ken home. She is the mother of Mrs. Siefken and Miss Christen sen. Fetes Husband — Mrs. Cecil Spry entertained at a birthday anniversary party on Sunday evening in honor of her husband. The guests were Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Spry and Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Wiseman. The evening was spent socially. Mrs. Spry served refreshments consist ing of ice cream and cake. ■ ■■< DR. GILDERSLEEVE. O.D.
