W. O. Brown was in Omaha the past
week to consult a specialist in regard
to his eyesight. He is gradually
going blind from cataracts that are
growing over the eye. The doctors
would not operate at this time and
said that it would be some time before
an operation could he made.
The Prairie Gem, or Miss Grace
Adam’s schogl closed its doors last
Wednesday and has remained closed
all of this week. It will open again
next week. The cause of the clos
ing is the diphtheria in that neighbor
hood. Mr. and Mrs. Johnson's littie
daughter who died attended school
the week before. She was a bright
and happy little one and the carrier
will deeply miss her on passing the .
school house.
It looks good to see the farmers
hauling out the manure and spread
ing it on the land. For years It used
to lay in piles in the barn yard, but
in the past few years the manure
spreader has put a stop to this. The
farmers used to always burn or let
rot all old straw slacks, but now
they are spreading this over the land.
Some use hay sweeps at the time of
threshing while others use straw
spreaders.
Two of the saddest deaths from
diphtheria happened at the home of
Rev. and Mrs. Johnson, three miles
west of Loup City at Round Grove.
The death of the 12-year-old girl took
place Tuesday evening. The boy of
14 a few days later. Both of the chil
dren attended the Prairie Gem school
the week before. The school closed
last Wednesday and has been closed
all this week. Unless some new cases
develop, it will reopen again Monday.
This neighborhood has never had such
a shock before. In fact, this part of
the county has never had anything
that gave it such a thrill. All the
schools on the Route closed for a
week or two._ Mr. and Mrs. Johnson
and family have the deepest sympathy
of all the people for miles around.
\\ould'nt you be surprised to see
two automobile owners with their
cars fastened together pulling a road
drag behind them. The carrier thinks
that is what the automobile owners
ought to do. They could get over
miles and miles in one day. This way
when it is done with man and team
only a few miles could be covered.
There will be an automobile purpose
ly made to do road dragging in a
few years. Almost all the road work
ought to be done between the first of
May and the first of July. If the roads
,gre graded during this time the real
heavy rains soon settle them, but if
all is done late in the fall, and the
most of the road work is put off until
the last minute before if freezes up.
it makes it bad. Roads worked as
late as this never settle until the
next spring and are very heavy at
times during the winter and spring.
There is coming a time when every
dollar will count on the roads. All
the roads will be put in shape with
an elevator grader followed with the
road graders then with the road drag.
Of course it would take a big engine
to handle this work, but an engine
like Fritz Bichels or his son Henry’s,
would pull a grader with the road
drag fastenend to it with ease. There
is coming a time when all road work
will be let out by contract for so
much per mile and passed on by an
expert road man. Every automobile
sold makes another good road boos
ter for the county. If this country
wants to prepare for war, let them
make good. Nothing would help
boom the county more than good
roads. The Shacklefort good roads
bill ought to become a law and it
may yet before congress adjourns.
Now is the time to get your harness
oiled and repaired. Bring them in to
James Bartunek.
