Learn Jefferson’s
10 Commandments—
The Holt county Fair, which
is to be August 17, 18, 19 and 20,
was discussed at a recent meeting

The treasurer, Brenda Colman,
made a report of $32.27 in the
treasury.
A general meeting was held on
Monday, July 18, at the IOOF hall

a report by Sharon Michaelis on
her trip to judging day at Bassett.
The leader read to members of
the 10 commandments written by
Thomas Jefferson. They are so
simple that they could be made a
part of everyday living.
The meeting was then adjourn

Otar Mr. Dearborn:
I am glad to learn that the United States Department of Agriculture
and the National Safety Council art again co-eponeortng National Farm
Safety Week.
I feel sure that the eleven previous observations of National Farm
Safety Week have provided a sound base on which to plan a twelfth
observance, July 24-JO. 195S. However, much obviously needs to be
done to acquaint all farm people with th« site of the farm accident
problem. A death toll of 14,000 farm residents each year it a tragic
lose to the nation.
The twelfth observance of National Farm Safety Week will be successful
if each farm resident realises the fact that his eafety is in his own hands,
and that he owes it to himself, to his family and to his community to
adopt safe attitudes and habits.
The experts assert that the most important way of putting farm safety
principles into effect is for the farmer, himself, to make a safety inven*
tory of his home, his machinery, his equipment, his actions, and his
attitudes. Once he develope the attitude that farming the safe way ia
also farming the right way, the accident toll will be greatly reduced.
This seems logical to me.
My warm greetings go, on the occasion of this twelfth observance of
National Farm Safety Week, to all organisations and individuals who have
helped make the Week a success in the past. It is my sincere hope that
they, and many others, will take an active part in making the 1VS5
observance of the Week a genuine life-saving event.
My greetings also go to overy farmer in the United States, to whom I
would say: Your safety is in your hands. Please be careful for the
take of your nation and your loved ones.
Iluiralv.

‘Doc’ Middleton
Roamed Keya Paha
Outlaws Preyed on
Settlers
By DR. JAMES C. OLSON,
Supt. State Historical Society
The county with one of the
most meloious—and at the same
time most frequently mispro
nounced — names in Nebraska, is
Keya Paha, located north of the
Niobrara river between Boyd and
Cherry counties. The name comes
from a Dakota Indian expression
meaning “turtle hill.”
The Keya Paha region was out
side the main stream of travel and
early setlement, and occupation of
the area occurred relatively late.
One of the early points of interest
was Mead’s tavern, located on the
Niobrara river. Nebraska History
for June, 1953, contains a most
interesting article by Harry B.
Robinson and Nellie B. Hulshizer,
“Pioneering on the Niobrara at
Meadville.” From this one gets an
excellent picture of early activity
along the Niobrara.
The' early history of the coun
ty is enlivened with tales of fa
mous outlaws, including Kid Wade
and Doc Middleton, both of whom
frequented the area that is now
Keya Paha county. Outlaws prey
ed upon the ranchers who were
among the earliest permanent res
idents of the county.
Keya Paha originally was part
of Brown county. The Niobrara
was an important argument for
dividing the county, however, and
finally in 1884, after the voters
living north'Of the river had voted
overwhelmingly in favor of sepa
ration,
The new county had a vigorous
coutyseat fight with every little
community trying for the honor.
Altogether, 15 separate places
were on the ballot contesting for
the countyseat and this election
was only a preliminary skirmish
in the contest for the official lo
cation. Finally the choice was re
duced to two, the town of Burton
and the site of the present Spring
view. In an election held March
25, 1885, Springview received 494
votes and Burton 405. Building on
the site began immediately after
the election and went forward
rapidly, although it was some
time before the county was able
to erect a courthouse. In the in
terim a residence was used as a
temporary courthouse.
Keya Paha county is one of the
few counties in Nebraska which
does not have a railroad. The
county’s population has always
been small and, interestingly
enough, the first census return for
the county, that of 1890, gave the
largest population the county has
ever had. The population then was
3,920. Between that date and 1940,
it fluctuated somewhat between
3,000 and 3,500. In 1940, the pop
ulation was 3,235. By 1950, it had
fallen to 2,160.
Lighting in Home
Should Be Planned
Lighting is an important part of
your home and should be planned
as carefully as other furnishings.
When you plan your lighting,
consider what different types of
lights will do for certain rooms.
General or all-over lighting lets
you see the entire room in a soft
way. It increases the feeling of
spaciousness and brings the room
to life. Specific lighting gives the
amount of light needed for vari
ous activities. It creates a feeling
of variety, rhythm and emphasis.
Bright light is stimulating, so
you’ll want to use it in places
where you want to call forth
energy. Use more wattage in
rooms with dark colored walls be
dause dark colors absorb light.
Light high in the room seems
formal, whereas light below the
eye level seems friendly and
draws people together. It has a
flattering effect on people, too.
Diffused light from a number of
sources will make a room more
interesting and comfortable than
one central light.
First Brood of
Borers Scheduled
“Many fields of corn are badly
infested with the first brood of
corn borers,” according to Don
Engel, Antelope county agricul
tural agent. “During the past
week I have checked several
fields, and find that they are
fairly well secluded in the stalk.
“No chemical will reach these
insects now. In about 10 to 14
days the second brood of moth
ers will be active laying eggs in
these same and other fields.
Watch for egg masses on the under
side of leaves. When you find 50
masses per 100 stalks, control
i
measures should be taken. Spray
with % pound of actual DDT per
acre in at least 50 gallons of wa
ter.
“Not only does the com borer
attack corn but he also likes flow
ers. One nice bed of gladioli was
found to be infected during the
week. It’s discouraging, to say the
least,” he added.
