Prairieland Talk—
Who Rememebers Everds?
By ROMAINE SAI'NDF.HS, 4110 South 51st St., Lincoln 6, Ncbr.
LINCOLN On South First street in O’Neil
stands a house as it was built about tbe year lSSti
by a New Yorker by the name ot Fverd, who with
his wife and one son came to O'Neill, Nobody
knew why.
He conducted no business, worked at nothing
and the three of them were at preaching services
every Sunday at the Methodist
church.
The Everds disappeared
from the community some 10
years after they had "pitched
their tent" here gone and
forgotten as others that were
once a part of community life
participating in the work, the
play, the struggles or just sat
at home as did the Everds.
They may have came west for
adventure, for renewal of
physical vigor or just to see Saunders
the bronco busters plunging
along the streets and in open places.
Is there one left in O'Neill who knew the
Everds? Likley not.
I know of at least six families that had occu
pied the house that Everd built after the original
owner moved out. And those six families, too, have
passed out of the picture.
Traveling in memory along the streets ot O -
Neill today the ghosts of long ago come to greet
you in vision. Some lie under the sod up in the
cemeteries, others left for parts unknown. And
time will write the finish to those left behind.
City hospital workers report hospital bods are
empty for the first time in years. In view of the
high cost of being sick, we take a dose of salts
now for the belly ache and stay home. . . Wiscon
sin has gone democratic and sends an agent of that
party brand to the U. S. senate to fill the seat of
the late fighting Joe McCarthy . . . Two young
men pulled into Lincoln recently from the West
coast anil got jobs the first day. They had been
employed at factory work in a southern California
city and were caught in the ‘‘lay off” of men. Af
ter a hunt for jobs in northern California, Oregon
and Washington they headed for Nebraska. . .
Pcbve I. Ota, an American-born Japanese, is serv
ing as a chaplain in the United States navy- He
and his father, Rev. Touska Ota, are lioth minis
ters of the Presbyterian church . . . Churchmen’s
Cbuncil for Decent Literature has started action
in Washington, D. C., in which a score of churches
are participating . . . Some airplane workers in
Pacific coast areas are to be layed off.

The Bible continues to be the "best seller”
among the multitude of books coming from the
presses of Yankeeland. The American Bible so
ciety reports its business amounted to 16,170,058
Scriptures distributed over the world in 193 lan
guages so far in 1957. South American lands made
the greatest demands. The presses of tile Bible
society used 959 tons of paper turning out the
printed pages.
The morning dawns calm after a night of rain.
Fresh wash I'd the earth gleams in verdant green
and the late summer floral display along the way
is adorned in blue and gold and red. You stop to
look, then a hand reaches out to pluck a fragrant
bit of that floral bloom. Cool and pleasant without,
you break away from the four walls and walk
abroad. Summer days are passing and other days
await us, autumn days adorning praineland in
changing colors. This morning will pass, the day
will run its course and night will come, day and
night and another summer on prairieland lays off
the silken gown of green. So the seasons come
and go and some of us have grown old, but let
not the young squirts think the future is all theirs.

Right or wrong. President Eisenhower’s for
eign policies are opposed by many of our citizens.
Elections in a few states going democratic are not
party victories in the partisan sense. There has
been during the years of our political history dis
tinctive principles dividing Republicans and Demo
crats. Not so today—just one group in, the other
out wanting in to get at the pork barrel.

Potato chips are now big business. Saw on
ihe street today a boxcar size truck delivering
“chips” to food markets about the city. “Chips”
seem a necessity at the dining table. That saves
tho cook the job of peeling and preparing spuds
for the kettle and frying skillet.
Civil rights, as our statesmen in Washing
ton see it, Ls now it. Hid you ever know of a
negro committing suicide? The high cost of liv

high cost of dying.
Editorial—
iBirmie’—End of An Era
The death of Hugh J. Birmingham, 66, life
long O'Neill resident, removes from the scene a
colorful citizen whose passing might correctly be
chronicled as the end of an era.
Though not always in robust health, he was
a champion of rugged individualism; he was a
conservative businessman gifted with rare percep
tion; he was one of north-Nebraska’s best-known
residents.
His father, the late T. J. Birmingham, managed
to put together substantial capital in Galena, 111.,
and then came West -to Holt county—where that
capital was put to work.
Hugh, an only child, was reared here, was
graduated from the University of Nebraska in 1913
(arts and science), served as a.lieutenant in the
balloon observation corj)s during World War 1. In
his younger days he ‘‘roughed it'' on the range
and in lumbering in Wyoming and Montana.
The elder Mr. Birmingham, who had pioneer
ed in hanking and livestock in this area, died and
Hugh, best-known as “Birmie”, carried on.
Hugh demonstrated extra-ordinary acumen In
banking, livestock, farming and investment fields.
Early in the morning the day he was flown to
Rochester. Minn., he encountered a herd of steers
being driven into O’Neill for private sale. He
guessed the gross" weight of the herd within a few
pounds Several hours later he was in Rochester
where less than three days later he died.
Mr. Birmingham's interest in cattle was a
dominant factor in his life. He worked tirelessly
toward improving herds and on occasion made
multiple-purchases of high-priced bulls at the na
tion’s biggest stock shows. He would resell the
animals to ranchers, usually on a time payment
basis, and thereby made an important contribu
tion to upgrading the industry.
■“Birmie” carefully watched the markets and
frequently “bid up” offerings to insure that the
producer was getting paid a fair price.
Mr. Birmingham acquired extensive holdings
of ranch and farm land in the area. He was an
ardent booster for Atkinson and its business and
Industries, particularly during the more than 17
years he headed the First National Bank there.
He instantly could become acquainted with
people in all walks to whom he was known as
“Birmie” or simply "Hugh”. The persons who
Riled St. Patrick’s Catholic church at the
funeral testified to his following.
Mr. Birmingham was a widely-traveled man.
He was seen at the major livestock expositions
and the small ones. He had traveled abroad and
had booked passage for next January to commence
a round-the-world journey.
His death leaves a void. His death marks the
end of an era.
It’s a Tax on Kids!
(Pierce County Leader)
From over in Iowa last week came a report
on one year’s operation of their sales tax.
During the big battle in Lincoln at the legis
lature many facts were pointed out about Iowa’s
wonderful sales tax.
Here is one fact that may make you stop and
think ... 28 cents out of every dollar collected
In Iowa for sales tax is paid on grocery purchases.
That's a tax on every man with a big family, i
A man and wife without children get by pretty
cheap. A man whose family includes three or
four children is paying the heavy burden of Iowa
sales taxes.
In other words the Iowa sale* tax is a tax on
kids!
The second highest tax collection was from
general merchtindi.se stores . . . that means cloth
ing and shoes . . . another tax on the man with
the large family.
So when you look at the Iowa sales tax it cer
tainly cannot be considered as a fair tax.
In Nebraska when a baby is born dad is blessed
with a federal income tax deduction. When a baby
is torn in Iowa your taxes go up to feed and clothe
another youngster.
The talk of sales tax will crop up in Nebras
ka again. The next fellow that tells you he favors
a sales tax, just ask him, “Oh, you mean that tax
that is paid by the big families and where each
youngster means more taxes.”
This is one case where the grass is not green
er on the Iowa side of the fence.
The Home Town Paper
When the evenin’ shade is failin’
at the endin' of the day.
And a feller rests from labor,
smokin’ at his pipe o’clay;
There’s nothin’ doing him so much
good, be fortune up or down,
As the little country paper,
from his ol’ home town!
It ain’t a thing of beauty, an’
it’s print ain’t always clean.
But, it straightens out his temper
when a feller’s feelin’ mean.
It takes the wrinkles off his face,
An’ it brushes off the frown—
That little country paper for the
ol’ home town! >
It tells of all the parties an' the
“balls” on punkin’ row
Bout who spent Sunday with
whose girl an’ how the crops'll grow
An’ it keeps a feller posted about
who is up an’ down —
That little country paper from his
ol’ home town!
Now, I like to read the dailies an’
the picture papers, too.
An’ at times the latest novels an’
some other trash, don’t you?
But, when I want some readin’
that’ll brush away a frown
I want the little paper from my
ol’ home town!

A Tribute
Twenty-five years ago this
poem appeared in The Frontier
handed in by a friend of the late
Dr. J. J. Gilligan, a pioneer O'
Neill physician and surgeon.
Said The Frontier editor of a
quarter of a century ago: "Tc
those who know the beloved doc
tor and his acquaintances were
legion this poetry will have
■ special signifance."
On September 28. 1930. I>octoi
Gilligan died—that was 27 years
ago.
THE COl’NTRY DOCTOR
| No waiting room of luxury and
pretty white-clad nurse
To copy down your history and
estimate your purse.
Instead, a well-worn, shabby
room, himself to greet you
there,
i With keen blue eyes to note your
need as he tilts in a swivel
chair.
Somehow you lose your panic,
your dark fears drop away,
As he talks of crops and weather
and passes the time o’ day.
Before you leave you're grinning
and your chin comes up
again,
And you’re sure the sun shines
somewhere behind today’s
cold rain.
He has no shining limousine to
purr on well-paved street,
But a sturdy car that goes be
yond where mud and pave
ment meet.
1 He churns along without com
plaint where an anxious woman
stands
Waiting in open doorway with a
lamp held in her hands.
His patients are not smartly
clothed, the sleek, white-col
lared elan;
Instead perhaps in overalls, dead
pale beneath his tan,
A man with twisted leg lies still
and seeks with pain-filled
eyes
The doorway. When the doctor
comes there peace from tor
ture lies.
I think when Gabriel blows his
horn a special greeting waits
The man with little well-worn
bag beyond the golden gates.
Somehow I sorta wonder if he
won’t be lost indeed,
For his happiness has always
been in tending those who
need.
—Ruby Swenson M’Lean.
