ing at the home of Nellie Med

guest, and six children were pres
ent. Response to roll call was
naming a favorite annual, grown
from seed. Members brought er
hibits of plants and handmade
articles, which were displayed
and explained.
During the business session
there was considerable discussion
as to the best dates lor the annual
snow, there being some difference
of opinion as to wnetner it would
be better to hold it beiore or aft

decided, it being necessary to con
fer wth the Beautiful Valley club

reached. June 17 was the date
set for a tour of gardens in Nor

vite Norfolk garden clubs to a re
turn visit in Chambers.

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

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

household financial stringency
when he got notice of an in

cuss had $4 a month lees than
before the raise.

A radio broadcast from the
Vatican radio warns Catholic
commnuicants throughout the
world against reading the obscene
matter appearing in print and
picture rather brazenly at pres
ent. 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

locality that sizzle appetizingly in
the skillet. You have to go to
Australian waters to catch them.
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

Jn voting tne nomination to

Biblical injunction, Rise up be

uuesn t seem to ave occurred to
nusennower partisans that if Mr.
otassen's name had not been on
tne ballot nis friends may have
voted for Taft. All tms presiden
tial primary idea does is to split
parties into facions.

bince lbbtl there have been 12

Teddy Roosevelt said some
thing about stepping softly but

suggested that you pray for a
good harvest but keep on hoeing.
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.”

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.
