Possibly Injured Internally
Wednesday’s Lincoln State Journal

ing Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Squires, the
lady being a sister of Dwight Jacoby
of Logan township, and Mr. Squires
being a son of the late L. P. Squires
of this county, the couple now living
at Comstock, were badly hurt under
the machine which turned turtle in
a bad washout, and Mrs. Squires
probably hurt internally. They were
taken to the hospital at Broken Bow.
The other couple were Mr. and Mrs.
Chas. Floriday of the same town and
they were on their way to the bed
side of Mrs. Floriday's neice at
Oconto, who was said to b6 dying.

A bouncing baby boy was born last
Friday. Dec. 8th, 1911, to Mr. and
Mrs. Art McCullough of Washington
township, the mother being formerly
Miss Maud Bascombe of this city'.
The Northwestern takes an especial
interest in this worthy young couple,
and sincerely congratulates them
over the arrival of the sturdy young
man who made his initial appearance
in 1911.
We hate to acknowledge it, but for
the past two or three weeks we have
been noticing that our good friend
Mike N'ickolaus hasbeengoingaround
with the broadest smile on his face,
radiating his entire cotntenance and
we did not conceive of the reason till
we heard that a tine, handsome bov,
the exact image of Friend Mike had
arrived at his home the 11th of Nov
ember. and he had been too busy to
do anything but grin over the second
king in his household. Mike now
has a full hand—two kings and three
queens. Never too late for congrat
ulations, however.
At the head of our editorial col
umns will be found the announce
ment of an advance of subscription
price to 1.50 per year. This is made
necessary by the advanced cost of
paper and every thing necessary in the
printing line. Not only that but
everything the printer buys has ad
vanced in like ratio and it is a
question of doing business at a loss
or advancing prices to meet the ad
vanced cost of living and material.
We have hesitated in making any ad
vance along printing lines for a year
or more past, hoping the purchasing
price of all commodities would return
to former rates, but are forced to the
conclusion that such will not be the
case hence we must advance in prices
along with tha grocer, the dry goods
man, the coal man and the dealer in
every otter commodity. Nor are
they alone in this, as the produce
likewise has advanced prices an hun
dred and two hundred percent. Butter I
eggs, potatoes, and every other nec- |
essarv to run the household have kept
step with other products, and for the
printer alone to keep same prices ob
tained under lower rates, is simply
suicidal from a financial standpoint.
We have delayed the advance for three
months togiveold and newsubscribers
a chance to renew at the o’d rates,
that they mav have ample time tore
just the matter. Come in anv time
prior to March 1st, 1912. and take ad
vantage of the dollar rate per year in
advance, as after that date the sub
scription pric- will postively be $1.50
per year to all).

Loup City Again Wins
The Loup City First Football Team
beat Arcadia 5 to 0 on the Arcadia
Gridiron, Dec 6th, before a crowd of
about 400, that took a deep inteeest
in the game. The following is a de
tailed account of the match as wired
us by our special reporter on the
ground:
Special to Northwestern.
Arcadia: Dec. t>.—The much adver
tised Arcadia—Loup City Football
game was pulled off today, commen
cing promptly at 3:30 p. m. Arcadia
plaied strong at the start forcing the
ball well towards Loup City’s goal,
when the Loup City team took a
brace stopped Arcadia's advance and
by strong line plunges, in which Half
Back Fountain of Loup City distin
guished himself, carried the ball to
Arcadia's 25 yard line, when Gilbert
of Loup City threw a perfect forward
pass to Captain C&llaham of Loup
City who carried it across Arcadia's
goal for the only touchdown of the
game. Pritchard missed goal. Score
Loup City 5 Arbadia 0.
During the second half both games
played aggresive foot ball, each side
threatening their opponents goal once
Loup City trying for drop kick but
missing, and later Loup City fumbled
when trying to catch a punted ball,
the same rolling rapidly towards the
Loup Goal. At least six attempts
were made bv p avers of both sides
I of both sides to catch the elusive
sphere when finallo Miller of Loup
City managed to get the ball and by
a spectacular run returned it about
40 yards from Loup City's S yard line.
It was a good exciting, clean game
from start to tiniuh the spectators
being well pleased with the game if
not the result and had not LoupCity's
first team had the valuable assistance
of three of the famous “Rough Neck"
team of Loup City the result might
have been different. The Roygh
\eck team has been the only one to
defeat Loup Loup City's first team
this season.
Professor Ward of Arcadia was the
starr on his team, time and again
preventing Loup City from scoring
and Fountain of the LoupCity Rough
Necks never failed to make a gain
when given the ball.
Ex captain Cassius Pritchard of
Loup City who is a nice affectionate
boy grabbed and hugged the ball the
bail the latter part of thegamewhen
it was lying peacibly on the ground
in Arcadia’s possession, but his ready
and humble appoliges were accepted
by Arcadia after he explained that
the excitement of the contest had
confused him.
The Loup Cioy boys returned home
in the evening in their automobiles
singing songs, heartly pleased at
winning over such a good team as
Arcadia has. and loudly praising the
good sportsmanlike qualities of the
Arcadia plavers and people, and es
pecially praising the corteous treat
ment they had received at the hands
of Professor Ward.

MiiouiiDert who is road overseer
in Webster township had the Zwink
Bros, attach their engine to their

one-half miles of road in a day and a
half at a cost of $36.00. This piece
of roab commences at the Moonschool
house and ends at the big hill at
Frank Zwinks and passes over some
very rough country west of Fred
Pinckneys. To have done this amount
of work done in the old way with
horses and scrapers would have cost
$75.00. Milo says that they would
have completed the work in less time
if they had not ran off a culbert and
delayed them a longtime. The engine
and grader made twelve round trips
besides a great many short trips over
places that were rough. The monev
that would be saved by the grader
attached to the engine wouid go a
long ways toward cutting down some
of the bad hills. Ip this wav all the
by ways would be worked as' well as
the main roads, and be better than
they possibly could as now. The
fact is the farmers will not put their
best horses on the grader, and some
time it is ten o’clock before the far
mer can get on the oad to work, and
then the road boss has to wait until
the farmer is caught up with his
work before he can work on the roads
at all. And every little ways the
horses have to stop and get their
wind especially on the hilly roads
and before dark the whole bunch of
horses are tired out. With an engine
it only takes three men to operate
and at the end of the days work it is
just as fresh as it was in the morning
and during the hottest weather it
works the best. A nother thing, there
could be a road dray attached behind
the grader and the road dragged at
the the same time dragging the roads
is the most important thing there is
Some of the roads worked this fall
are so rough that if you drive faster
than a walk it almost tears pour
wagon or auto to pieces. With an
engine it would be possible to ditch
the road deep on each side, allawing
the water to flow to the side of the
road.
