Nebraska, held at the office of Aaron Wail, i Chairman ‘.in Loup City, among other things the following business was transacted, to-wit: Ordered that the next Republican County Con vention to be held in said county for the purpose of selecting and electing live (5> dele gates to the State Republican Convention and live (5) delegates to the Congressional Conven tion, Sixth District, lo be held respectively at Omaha. Nebraska, on the 12th day of March. 1908. be held at said Loup City on the 6th day of March, 1908, at 11 o'clock in the forenoon and that the respective townships of said county will be entitled to the followup representation in said County Convention as follows: One delegate for each twenty (20) votes cast for the Hon. H. T. Clarke. Commissioner, ut the general election in Nebraska for the year 1907. and one delegate for each major fraction thereof and one delegate at large for each precinct of said county: upon said basis of representation the following named precincts will be entitled to delegates in said convention as follows: Ashton .5 Loup City.13 Bristol. 3 Oak Creek. 2 Clay.3 Rockville. 5 Elm.3 Scott.2 Harrison.5 Washington.4 Hazard .4 Webster.3 Logan .3 It was further recommanded by said com mittee that the various precincts hold their respective primaries on the 28th day of February. 1908. Aaron Wall. Chairman County Central Committee. Attest: R. P. Stark. Sec. The republican primary for Ashton township is called to meet on Satur day, Feb. 29, 1908, at .'5 o'clock p. m.. in tiie Keystone Lumber Co.’s office at Ashton. Neb. Tiieo. Ojendyk, Township Committeeman. Tiie Missouri Pacific company lias cancelled all its pass list, owing to the tight inaugurated by the com mission. Bro. Brown has cancelled his adver tising with the Union Pacific and surrendered his mileage, owing to tiie decision of the attorney general in regard to the matter. On the same hypothesis, Bro. Brown must per force refuse to trade his advertising space for sugar, coffee, pumpkin, squashes, cabbage, ad infinitum. We had always supposed a newspaper man's space was his own to be dis posed of as he pleased—for cash or its equivalent. The editor of the Northwestern lias traded a portion of its newspaper space to the Union Pacific railroad cbmpany for its equivalent in mileage for tiie year 1908. The editor is not riding on a pass, does not expect to ride on a pass, but claims the right to deliver its space at regular adver tising rates for an equivalent in money, mileage or marbles, as it sees fit. While we are not exactly from Missouri, in all matters, yet we lived for some time in that "state, long enough to contract tiie habit of want ing to be shown. It seems of late, according to the postoffice depart ment. and the sentimental reform movement, that a newspaper is not private property, but subject to the whims of the grand stand fellows who are overdoing tiie so-called “reform idea." School Notes. Tuesday evening the pupils of the high school gave their debate as an nounced. The church was prettily decorated with high school pennants'. The debaters chosen to represent Loup City in our coming debate with the St. Paul High School are Clifford Hein, Christian Sorensen. Lowell Truelsen, Archie Kearns and Clayton Mead. There was on the program, in addition to the debate, a violin solo by Max Jeffords and a song by the Girls’ Sextette. The High School has chosen a yell to be heard of (?) later. Fred Larson has entered school in Mr. Young's room. He is now a seventh grader. Maggie McFadden is again in school after her week s absence. Tilly and Frances Makowski are new pupils in Miss Young's room. Ida Larson is a new pupil in Miss Conger's room. Vera Radelitfe has returned to her work in Miss Conger's room after a weeks’ absence. A “Girl's Sextette” has recently been formed in the High School. Hazel, Dewey and Blanche Winkle mann are missed from their various rooms. Their parents moving away necessitated their removal from this school. Miss Naumann was agreeably sur prised by her pupils Monday evening. The party was a success socially as well as the surprise part of it. Emma Janulewicz is again in school after an absence. Mental Growth of Babies. Woods Hutchinson, M. D., could hardly have touched a more live wire for the home than when he selected for his subject “The Mental Growth of Babies,” published in the March issue of Woman's Home Companion. Here are just a few of Doctor Hutch inson’s short paragraphs: “Just as the germ of the flower is contained in the tiniest seed and will reveal itself with as absolute certain ty as will rcotlets and leaves when proper conditions of heat, moisture and light are accorded, so the germ of the mind of a child is present in his little body and will develop and unfold itself with the growth of the latter. “The only way to stop the growth of a child's mind is to stop his body from growing. Appetite is the mother of the mind, and muscle is its father. At its lowest estimate the Ixxly with its brain is the tool of the mind, and good work cannot be done without good tools. “The first test of muscular vigor, the hand grasp, is an indication of the mental possibilities as well. Not one child out of a hundred who at ten days of age grasps firmly and clings to a finger or pencil rubbed against his pink little palm will ever fall below the average intelligence of his race.” MRS.C.E.BURLEIGH VERY ILL Aged Woman Hovering Close to Death’s Door. Tiie following was taken from the Des Moines Daily Capital of the 15th: Mrs.Caroline E. Burleigh, widow of Ilev. Hiram J. Burleigh, and one of the oldest women in Iowa, is lying critically ill at her home in Universi ty Place and it is feared death is im minent. Rev. Burleigh is well remembered by hundreds of old settlers i i Iowa. He was one of the first Methodist ministers sent into the ‘■cate and “rode the circuit" in the stirring pio neer days, when settlements were few and far between and there were few modern highways. .Mother Burleigh was a willing helpmate and often ac companied him on his long journeys. She ministered to the sick and the poor and made cold evenings bright; by arranging social affairs for the! pioneers. In this way she became acquainted and was known to hun dreds of men and women who have grown up with Iowa and Des Moines, and has a host of loving friends. Mrs. Burleigh's three sons will be with her to make her last hours brighter. Editor VV. E. Burleigh of the Tingley (la.) Vindicator is in the city, and .1. W. and C. II. Burleigh, the other sons, are hurrying to Des Moines in a race with death, which : threatens to take their mother at any moment. .1. VV. Burleigh is editor of the Loup City (Neb.) Northwestern, while C. II. Burleigh, the oldest son. 1 who was formerly a minister of the Des Moines Methodist conference and I later secretary of the Northwest Ne- j braska conference for thirteen years, is editor of the Ilemingford (Neb.) I Journal-all former Des Moines printers. A kind Providence arrested the sickle in the hands of the Grim Reap-: er. and two days after the arrival of j her boys, Mother Burleigh rallied and we were able to return to our homes with the assurance that the dear old saint, who had already passed four scoreand fouryears on thisearthly pil grimage had taken on a new lease of life and might yet be spared to us pos sibly for a few years longer before the thread of life was broken. May heav-: en grant it be so. Only $2.00 A Year. During the one week of March 2.’1 to 28, inclusive, the Lincoln Daily News will accept #2 from mail sub scribers for a whole year to April 1,1 1909, the regular price being $;{. This cut in price is made possible by taking traveling solicitors from the road and doing business with the read ers direct, giving them the savings in salaries, railroad fares, hotel bills, etc. The News is a regular paper, but by this method you can save $1.

The people will never get what their rightful due until they go after it. The News will always be found helping you to get what’s fair. Remember the bargain week—March 2:$ to 28.
