Workmen Race
to Finish Well
Restrict Water Use
for Few Days
Patrons of the municipal water
system in O’Neill were urged
Wednesday afternoon in a “Voice
of The Frontier” news bulletin
(WJAG, 780 k.c.) and by a blar
ing sound truck to voluntarily re
strict the use t>f water for the next
few days except to essential pur
poses.
City Water Supt. Don Douglass
reported that pressure in the sys
tem during the forenoon had
dropped to 32 pounds—too low
to assure fire-fighting protection.
The announcements urged resi
dents to abandon watering of
lawns and gardens until the new
well, now nearing completion, can
be brought into action.
One large pump south of town
was carrying on a losing battle
against the heavy load which
accompanied the 95 - degree
heat. The older pumps and wells
inside the city limits couldn’t
stave off the depletion of water
in the reservoir.
•
Douglass indicated that com
pulsory steps would have to be
taken to conserve water until the
crisis is over if users do not co
operate voluntarily. The weather
man predicted showers today
(Thursday).
Meanwhile, the contractors
have completed a new city well
and a 12-hour test period ended
satisfactorily at 10 p.m., Wednes
day. Samples were forwarded to j
the state testing laboratory in
Lincoln. If the tests are okay from
th% health standpont, the output
of the new well will be turned
into the muny water system.
The new well delivered 900
gallons per minute during the
test. The site is near the three
other pump houses on the U.S.
highway 281 right-of-way, two
miles south of town.
The other wells combined were
delivering only 600 gallons per
minute Wednesday. Consumption
during the healr of the day was
estimated at 1,200 gallons per
minute until the alarm was
sounded.
When the restriction is lifted,
announcements will be made by
WJAG. Rain could help alleviate
the problem.

Ash Grove Hall
Formally Opened
PAGE—The brand new quonset
hut type community building
known as the Ash Grove hall, lo
cated midway between the towns
of Creighton and O’Neill, had its
opening Monday eveing, July 4.
Creighton is 26 miles away; O’
Neill 24; Verdigre, 16; Page 13.
Members of the organization
and their families danced to the
music of the Rhythm Ramblers
The officers and their wives were
in charge of serving the no-host
lunch at intermission.
Work on the new project has
moved along very well consider
ing the size of the building and
the fact the members are busy
and the volunteer work had to be
done when ever they could spare
the time from their own farm and
ranch chores.
The REA extended a line to in
clude the hall and made the in
stallations.
A floor had to be finished,
seasoned and a final top finish
added for dancing purposes.
A kitchen, not quite complete,
is included for the convenience
of those whose duty it is to pre
pare the lunch for such a crowd.
There will be another dance
Saturday evening, July 9, and a
meeting of the officers will be
held tonight (Thursday) to de
termine a schedule for the present
season and to discuss other source
of music for the sake of variety
Date and music will be advertised
leter.
The hall was built to accom
modate the needs of the communi
ty. It will serve in all of the gath
erings too large to be accommo
dated in their homes.
The name Ash Grove is a con
tinuance of the community center
of many years ago when the Ash
Grove school served in a similar
I capacity.
The new building is built on the
same site as the old school that
F.enard Kornock purchased sev
eral years ago and converted it
into a dwelling.

Horology Is Hobby for Jack
BY MRS. N. D. ICKES
The Frontier’s Feature Writer
For America, the clock indus
j try was brought into being by a
Connecticut Yankee in 1792. But
the art of telling time by clock
dates back to the Ninth century
and as early as the Twelfth cen
tury clocks with wooden wheels
were made in monasteries. In
1837 machinery was applied to
the making of metal clock parts
and the wooden wheel manufac
turers were put out of business.
For Jack Daily, 504 E. Fremont
st., a Consumers Public Power
serviceman, the urge to collect,
repair and restore the old clocks
is a comparatively new interest.
He has accumulated more
than 60 clocks in two years,
and frequently has gone to the
painstaking trouble of restoring
hopeless machines that had
been neglected for years.
Some of his most prized pieces
have been retrieved from city
dumps and all have required the
service of the steel-nerved hor
ologist with a strong will dedicat
ed to making the things breathe
again.
Mr. Daily houses his collection
in his workshop at the rear of his
lot. He hopes he can build on a
room where he can display his
collection.
At present the best he can do is
give them a niche in the unfin
ished wall space of the workshop.
Each is fitted securely for safety’s
sake and displayed according to
the styling of the case.
He wishes he had the full
background behind his clocks.
The travels of each individual
clock from its manufacture to its
place in his collection would
make interesting reading.
Among his clocks are two An
j sonia mechanisms. One is an all
iron model, which won a medal
award at the Paris exposition in
1878.
If you are among those who ex
pect to enter a noisy place when
you come to his workshop, you
will be pleasantly disappointed.
Among the 60-odd clocks, nearly
all are in running order and purr
smoothly
Each clock is individualistic
having a different tone and the
tick is as individual as the style
of the case. A gentle touch will
set in motion the pendulum that
will bear out the truth of that
statement and give you a new re
spect for a machine.
In his collection, Mr. Daily has
time - pieces containing Seth
Thomas, Gilbert, Ansonia, Wa
terbury, Sessions, Ingraham and
New Haven works.
As to styling, you’ll find clocks
of every shape and decoration.
Outstanding clocks are a round
Gothic cuckoo type that hangs
from a shelf rather than taking
up a position upon the shelf. That
leaves the shelf space for other
use.
In the collection contain
ing Seth Thomas mechan
isms is one with the date of
1865. Another, a 30-day strik
ing clock, bears the 1878 date.
It would be most interesting to
know in whose homes the
clocks performed and what
events in the family history
these robcts have witnessed
Two things are necessary in the
restoration of a clock. The mec
hanism must be overhauled. This
entails tedious work, removing
the accumulation of rust and cor
rosion, rewinding of springs, sub
stitution of broken parts or mak
ing some small piece to fit in

75 on Grass Tour
Praise Fertilizer
Agronomist Explains
Research
Striking results of fertilizing
native hay meadows were seen by
75 ranchers, farmers, and busi
nessmen of Holt county and sur
rounding areas during the annual
grassland tour held Friday, July
Many of the ranchers said ihey
“had never seen anything like it,”
and indicated they wished they
had large areas with the quantity
and quality of red clover and grass
seen on the fertilized meadows.
The experimental plots have
been of significance throughout
the last four years. E. M. Brouse,
agronomist from the University
of Nebraska, explained the re
search work being carried, includ
ing such topics as time of appli
cation of fertilizer, amounts of
fertilizers, kinds of fertilizers,
residual effect on legumes and
grasses, radio-active phosphorous,
soil temperatures and oxygen
given off by soil organisms.
This research is basic for many
future studies and recommenda
tion. Mr. Brouse says that the data
collected during the last four
years has given a “very good
guide” to base their recommenda
tions to ranchers who want to
fertilize their meadows.

when he was pinned between a
tractor and the dirt wall of a
trench silo. The accident occurred
on the Werner Janke place, three
miles north and a half-mile east

ell’s chest. The driver was using
the tractor scoop to fill the silo

trench.
Mr. Mitchell was caught be
tween the tractor seat and the
