who is blind, won the democratic
nomination for representative to the
state legislature from this district,

The Farmers Mutual Fire and Live Stock In

1921. She returned to Geneva, and
after two years practice there, moved
to Exeter.
"I know the life of the people in
this county from three viewpoints,"
said Dr. Owens. "As a farmer's
daughter, I know the great gamble
of the farmer with the elements, the
low price of porkers and the high
price of the packer's product; the
high freight rates which carries his
grain away to mills and foreign ports
and the high price of the flour which
is shipped back to him; the high rate
of interest he pays on the mortgage
and the low rate he receives on time
deposits; and the taxes which he dare
not dodge! I know school life, both
as a teacher and member of the
board of directors."
Dr. Owens served on the school
board in Exeter and Geneva. She is
president of the Nebraska Osteopath
ic Woman's association and has been
active in national affairs of her pro
fession and also in the interests of
the blind.
Dr. Owens is quite well known in
Plattsmouth, where she has been a
visitor here at the home of her sister,
Mrs. J. E. Jones, and is one of the
most talented professional women In
the state and should she be named
by the "Fillmore county voters would
make a real representative.
