Loup City Northwestern J. W. BURLEIGH, Publisher. LOUP CITY, - - NEBRASKA College Songs. For college men the songs peculiar • Uj their alma mater will always have r. special charm and significance. They sre sung joyously during the four years of college life, and are recalled with tenderness during all the years of , after life. When so much of the col lege spirit lies in the songs and is so constantly fostered by them, it is strange that the songs themselves should so rarely possess real beauty of composition or dignity of sentiment. To be sure, Princeton has her "Old Xassau." and the great university of Cambridge has "Fair Harvard; ' and some other colleges have songs not unworthy to be passed on from class to class. Nevertheless, most of the undergraduate lung power is used up in the "Fill-'em-up-again-John" or the "Down-with-Soniebody" class of mu sic. It was a perception of this fact that led a Yab> alumnus to offer a prize of $50 a few years ago for a really worthy Yale song. This offer having failed to produce the desired result, the prize was increased to $300. it has now been awarded for a dignified, serious and. to coin a word, matriotic song, the theme of which is recognition of the aims and achieve ments of the university. The incident ought to be suggestive to other men of means who wish to do something for their university, declares the Youth's Companion, and still more suggestive to college students everywhere who have the gift of song-writing. A col lege boy would deserve well of his classmates and of all who come after him if he should succeed in producing a song which should become identified with the college life. It is a much more enduring distinction than writ ing the flamboyant flapdoodle which is supposed to cheer the deathless heroes of the annual great game. Charm of Manner. Why is beauty alone not enough? This is a woman's query of herself, and it is but natural it should be an swered by woman. This, says the New York Weekly, is what a woman writer has to suggest on the subject: The greatest sorceresses in the world's his tory. she says, the women whose influ ence over men has been the most uni versal. have not been remarkable for their beauty. When they possessed beauty it was but one of their charms. Throughout ail the past the women who have “made history” were women of great charm of manner and great tact, women who understood how to interest men. Physical charm does not always depend upon beauty of feature. Many of the most fascinating women in the world's history—women who have inspired great loves and helped mold the destiny of nations—were de void of actual beauty. Put they pos sessed the charm of manner and of expression, and the subtle, magnetic quality which leave the impression of beauty upon the beholder. When beauty of face and form is supple mented by these attributes the world gives way before it. When it is de void of them it is often as ineffect ua: as a snow image to arouse more than passing notice. We cannot tell what science, putter ing unobtrusively about its laborator ies, will spring on us during the com ing year. Already in the last year it has made us brother not only to the ox but to the prune and the pie-plant, having demonstrated to its own satis faction that all life, whether animal oi vegetable, is akin. Some have even gone further and made us cousin to the steel rail and the phonograph, claiming that inanimate life isn't inan imate. All of which tends to confirm in man the opinion that the universe revolves around him—not. If he is about the same kind of product in the immense whole as a jimson weed or a wood-tick he may not fee! so puffed up over himself. Still, some men are too conceited to believe it. For years it has been the custom of ■ the New York Sun to print on its edi torial page correspondence concern ing the cause and cure of baldness. This is from one of the latest offer ings: ‘'For years I felt for remedies to stop my hair from coming out and so on, till ‘1 took four bottles of your medicine for catarrh, now I have a banjo,' was my case precisely. Here's the dope: Submerge the head in cold water daily, rub quite dry, then pour a small amount of olive oil on top of brainery, rub in, and there you are. Try it and get happy.” The four big balloons ordered by members of the Chicago Aeronautique club for use next summer will contain each from 30,000 to 80,000 feet of gas. One would naturally think that hot-air balloons would be given the prefer ence in Chicago. A French deputy wants France and Great Britain to arbitrate between America and Japan ‘ before it Is too late.” It seems to be be a case where we need to be delivered from our friends.

What is Required of Owners Under the New Law. The last automobile registered in the office of the secretary of state was number 2,224. Registration annually Is now required by the state law. This and the purchaseof many new ma chines during the past year or two has run the number up beyond the expec tations of dealers. It is feared that in the years to come when a man is run over by an automobile he may look no and hurriedly get a glimpse of the number that mav resemble this, "22222222222 Neb," yet the mutilated man could not be certain about the long row of figures revealed l», Aim. The amended law requires re ."stra tion annually for a fee of $1 c'.tnges the letter following the numb.f from "Xa." to "Neb." The old law required the first and last letter of the state to follow the number, but “Na." is not the proper abbreviation for Nebraska and has never been used except upon automobile numbers. The "Na." lias been a kouree of considerable specula tion by Nebraskans who have seen it on the back end of motor cars. Auto mobiles that have been registered ac cording to Ihe new law may be dis tinguished by the proper abbreviation of the name of the state, providing the owners have followed the law. All machines bought since last January must he registered for the year 11*08. KANT-BE BEAT HOG CIRCUIT. Recorcs of Sales in Nebraska Broken for Duroc-Jerseys.

The pint Is, did he hit him? Proceed.” Rather Neatly Put. A Baltimore man had until recently a darky in his employ—about as shift less and worthless a darky, says he. as ever he came across. One day the employer, his patience exhausted, called Sam into his office and told him to look for another job. “Will you give me a letter of recommendation?" asked Sam, piteously. Although he felt that he could not conscientiously comply with this request, the Baltimore man's heart was touched by the appeal. So he sat down to his desk to write a non-committal letter of character for the negro. His effort resulted as fol lows: "This man, Sam Harkins, has worked for me one week, and I am satisfied.” CUT OUT FOR A FINANCIER. Shrewd Rascal Made Good Thing Out of Whistling Geese. Two rogues passed a poultry shop. Seeing two geese hung up for sale one of the rogues inserted in the gullet of the goose a little bulb with whistle attached. When the bulb was pressed the whistle sounded. Then, entering the store, he told the proprietor that he had hanging out side a very rare kind of whistling goose. The proprietor at once sold the goose for a big sum to a very learned professor, who was astonished to hear about the whistling goose. Seeking the man who had placed the whistle in the gullet of the bird, the proprietor asked him if he knew where others like it could be ob tained. "Well,” said the crafty fellow, ‘‘I know of only one place, and if you will pay me a big price I will get several for you.” So the rogue brought a dozen fowls, in the gullet of each of which he thrust a whistle, and was paid an ex orbitant price for them before the hoax was discovered. . 3RAIN POWER increased by Proper Feeding. A lady writer who not only has done good literary work, but reared a family, found in Grape-Nuts the ideal food for brain work and to develop healthy children. She writes: — "l am an enthusiastic proclaimer of Grape-Nuts as a regular diet. I for merly had no appetite in the morning and for S years while nursing my four children, had insufficient nourishment for them. ‘‘Unable to eat breakfast I felt faint later, and would go to the pantry and eat cold chops, sausage, cookies, dough nuts or anything I happened to find. Being a writer, at times my head felt heavy and my brain asleep. “When I read of Grape-Nuts I began eating it every morning, also gave it to the children, including, my 10 months old baby, who soon grew as fat as a lille pig, good natured and contented. “Within a week I had plenty of breast milk, and felt stronger within two weeks. I wrote evenings and feeling the need of sustained brain power, began eating a small saucer of Grape-Nuts with milk instead of my usual indigestible hot pudding, pie, oi cake for dessert at night. “Grape-Nuts did wonders for me and I learned to like it. I did not mind my housework or mother’s cares, for I felt strong and full of 'go.' 1 grew plump, nerves strong, and when 1 wrote my brain was active and clear; indeed, the dull head pain never re- | turned.” “There’s a Reason.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

Irish girls in domestic service who, while on the board walk at Atlantic City one day not long ago, were ex changing views as to their various physical ailments. ‘it's a sthrunge thing, ain't it, Xorah," asked one of the girls, "how manny new koinds of diseases people get these days. Only this mor-rnin' I were readin' an advertisement, of a new midicine. It said it were wouder rful for a sluggish liver." "Gwan!" exclaimed the other girl, scornfully. “Liver trouble an't no r.( w disase. Me own grandfather was havin' liver trouble whin 1 were not more'n tin years old."
