Ticket Scramble Is
Turkey Day Feature
Basin Group Starts
Drive for Members
300 Signers Sought
at O’Neill
A membership drive for the
Niobrara Basin Development as
sociation was launched Wednes
day in O’Neill. The goal here has
been set for 300 at $3 each.
Plans for the drive were com
pleted Monday evening when
representatives of the Chamber
of Commerce met with officers of
the Niobrara association. Basin
officers present were: E. C.
House, director; La Verne Prang,
secretary; L. R. Smith, member
ship drive chairman, and William
Smith, attorney for the associa
tion, all of Ainsworth.
It is suggested that each busi
ness buy an individual member
ship for each employee. In ask
ing for the initial appropriation
from congress, one of the first
questions asked will be: How
many members are there in the
Nibrara River Basin Development
association? The officers are in
terested in a large membership
in the basin association.
Benefits to Holt county from
the proposed irrigation develop
ment are “incalculable.”
Sixty-six thousand acres are
included in the O’Neill unit. Ihe
gross income per acre before ir
rigation from the land now in
the Mirage flats unit was $15 ,
per acre. Since the development
of the Mirage flats unit, the gross
income has been increased to
$107 per acre in 1953. Benefits
which would accrue in Holt coun
ty could be similar.
During the past 10 or 12 years,
there have been periods when
have increased yields in Holt
water at the right time would
county. Previous to that time,
crop yields would have been as
sured practically every year if
water for irrigation had been
available.
Those from O’Neill present at
the meeting were: William Mc
Intosh, Robert Hornby, Robert,
Krotter, Ed Wilson, William
Bowker, Ed Thorin, Melvin Ru
zicka, Harry Ressel, Harry Smith

*Nothing Fancy 9 in 103 Years
STUART— Holt county’s old
est resident, Mrs. Joseph Axtell,
on Thanksgiving day observed
her 103d birthday anniversary.
Her daughter, Miss Pearl, had
piepared the chicken dinner and
two longtime friends, Mr. and
Mrs. B. A. Storie of Atkinson,
gathered around the table to par
take of the holiday bounty.
During the forenoon the big
page in the guest book began to
fill. Rev. and Mrs. D. L». Su of
the Stuart Community church
had signed their names in Chi
nese script, also other friends
and neighbors had called.
Mrs. Axtell came to the table
in her wheelchair (she has been
relying heavily on the chair since
she took a fall on August 11).
Between bites from a drum
stick, Mrs. Axtell reminisced.
She was born in New York
state November 25, 1851. When
she was a small girl her parents
were told by the family doctor
to take their daughter west. They
lived for a time in Iowa before
coming to Nebraska.
Mrs. Axtell, whose maiden
name was Alice Butterfield, was
married at Valentine in 1886.
They lived on a prairie home
stead for many years, burned
hay and cowchips, and fared as
best they could against the haz
ards of frontier life — drouths,
prairie fires, Indians, pesti
lences.
On her 103d birthday anniver
sary, Mrs. Axtell recounted In
dian visits at their shanty.
“Once nine of them came. I
was a little bit nervous. I was
alone—but a neighbor came and
stayed until the Indians left.
“One other time I spread quite
a table for the Indians who stop
ped.”
Mr. Axtell died in 1911. In
1924, Mrs. Axtell and her only
child, Miss Pearl, moved into
Stuart. They reside in the
northeast part of town.
Mrs. Axtell loves to sit in the
sunshine, but tartly remarked:
“It makes me feel like a wilted
flower.”
(Cal Stewart interviewed Mrs.
Axtell and the playback was
heard on the Saturday, Novem
ber 27, “Voice of The Frontier”
program.)
Asked if she had a recipe for
longevity or recommendations
for young people, Mrs. Axtell
explained: ‘Tve always lived
a plain life, nothing fancy. I
never considered we had any
hardships. We just took things
as they came.”
Between visitors Mrs. Axtell
would catch a cat nap.
In days past Mrs. Axtell has
greatly enjoyed singing. She
used to love to sing with Mrs
Emil Olday, accompanied on the
organ by Mrs. Axtell’s daughter.
Allyns Wed 50 Years
STUART—Mr. and Mrs. Calvin
Allyn of the Cleveland communi
ty in the northwest corner of
Holt county, held open - house
Saturday, November 27, from 2
to 4:30 p.m., in celebration of
their glden wedding anniversary.
A beautiful bouquet of chry
santhemums, presented by the
Ladies Aid and Men’s council of
the Cleveland Presbyterian
church, decorated the living room
where Mr. and Mrs. Allyn greet
ed their friends.
The five-tier white wedding
cake decorated with yellow
flowers and topped with a min
iature bride and bridegroom
was baked and decorated by
their daughter, Delia McClurg.
Mrs. James Deming, sister
of Mrs. Allyn, poured, and the
granddaughters served re
freshments.
Mrs. Lawrence Lofquest, sis
ter-in-law, was in charge of the
guestbook in which 91 relatives
and friends were recorded as
guests.
They were married in Butte
on December 6, 1904. The 50th
anniversary affair was held in
advance of the anniversary so
four granddaughters, who attend
college, could be present during
the Thanksgiving vacation.
Mr. Allyn came to Cleveland
community from Iowa in 1885,
a lad of 5-years. He came with
his parents, who were home
steaders.
Mrs. AUyn, nee Mabel Lof
quest, was born on her father,
Sven Lofquest’s, homestead in
the same community.
They Doth attended the Clay
Creek rural school and their six
children learned the “3 R’s” in
the same school. Several of the
couple’s grandchildren attend
there now.
Mr. and Mrs. Allyn’s home is
located on Beaver Creek, about
17 miles north of Stuart, where
they started housekeeping and
have developed a sizeable ranch.
They have retired in a modern
home a few rods from their orig
inal home, which is now occu
pied by their son, James, and his
family, who are operating the
ranch in a father-son partner
ship.
The Allyns always have been
and still are active in the Cleve
land Presbyterian church and in
community affairs. Always good
neighbors, they are ready wtih
a helping hand in sickness and
misfortune.
Mrs. Allyn frequently was
called upon during the early
days to serve as a midwife.
There was little hospitalization
in those days because hospitals
and doctors were few and far
between.

Revell Story Begins in Orphanage
.fc*ach year the Holt county soil
conservation district supervisors
are obliged to select one cooper
ator to represent the district in
the Goodyear award competition.
This year they selected E. J. Re
vell, 74, of Star as an outstand
ing example of a good conserva
tionist—one who eagerly accepts
progress in a practical way and
who is a true conservationist at
heart.
Mr. Revell is regarded as a
man who has known good times
and bad and has overcome more
than his share of hardships. He
is a loveable, hard-working, eld
erly gentleman, who has a
world of wisdom for the young
er generation if they would but
listen. Not being one to burden
others with personal details, his
life story is presented in brief so
that all who know him by name
may know him better.
He is very active in the
manual labor involved in op
erating a 3,000-acre farm. He
has the help of his son. Dale,
and son-in-lawT, M. E. Davis, in
the overall operation.
He has over 200 acres protect
ed by terraces and waterways
and all of the cropland is strip
cropped. He believes that a
* longtime rotation” is the answer
to high production and hopes to
keep most of his cropland in al
falfa and grass five or six years
and then crop it a year or so be
fore reseeding. He has planted
over 160 acres of trees (mostly
by hand) on his place since he
started operating the farm in
1915. Approximately two-thirds
of the farm is in native grass be
ing used for either hay or pas
ture.
Through the conservation ef
forts of the Revells and a few
neighbors, they had effected a
watershed program for Steel
creek long before the words “wa
tershed planning” were publi
cized. Although not planned for
the purpose of flood control, the
conservation practices of Mr. Re
vell and his neighbors have sta
bilized Steel creek. He has 24
dams on his place alone—four of
which form excellent fish ponds.
The remainder are “dry” dams
whose basins fill up after each
rain but the water seeps into the
gravel subsoil in a few days. This
conservation effected on the up
per part of Steel creek has made
fence repair and bridge and road
washouts a thing of the past.
While the little stream formerly
went on a rampage after every
rein, gullying the farm land, de
stroying fences, bridges and road
grades, during the past several
years the situation has been dif
ferent. People living on down
stream will tell you that since
these conservation measures
have been established on many
farms in the upper part of the
watershed, the creek has neve:
been out of its banks.
Fourteen years ago Mr. Re
vell received 10 pounds of
ranger alfalfa seed from the
university for foundation seed
production. He has known crop
failures before and saved back
a double handful of seed which
he did not plant.
He failed on the first try —
grasshoppers. The next year he
planted that double handful oi
seed with success and within a
short time had over 300 acres oi
foundation ranger alfalfa.
The small amount of seed was
planted in rows by hand. In fact
much of the cultivation was bj
hand, and, for a time, until the
seed supply grew, the harvesting
was all hand work. Now he us
ually plans to leave most of the
second crop for seed productior
and has produced a tremendou:
amount of seed annually for the
past several years.
The Revell place certainly i:
not merely a grain and hay farm
He makes good use of his haj
and pastures with his herd o:
approximately 400 Angus cattle
—100 of which are registered
He also raises from 250 to 30(
head of hogs annually. He know;
full well the value of propel
