Tha program of the day was carried out in t!»e best manner possible. At a • ittie f-ast the hour of 1 JO in the afternoon, the Veterans of the Civil War. Son> of Veterans. Ladies of the G. A. It., soldiers of the Spanish Amertcan War and a goodly number of school children, met at the corner of the court house square and headed by our Silver Cornet Band, marciied to the M. E. church where the services of the day •ere Iield, before an audience that completely filled the edifice. Hie church • as decorated w ith flags, bunt ing and a profusion of flowers. A large ci»oir and chorus rendered appropriate music. Hon. Jo)in W. Long was president of the day. and presided in his usual satisfactory manner. The program opened with song. "Amer ica.” by the congregation, followed with prayer by I>r. Leeper. The M. K choir then sang ‘’Battle Hymn of the Republic.” Uie congregation join ing in tiie chorus. Lincoln's "Gettys burg Address” was appropriately renaerea oy .miss Hellene -Mellor. fol lowed by the song* "Guard the Flag." by Uw choir, with senic effect by two veterans, the flag and little boys. A splendid solo followed by A. J. John son. Then came a grand address by Judge Aaron Wall on the subject of ••Universal Peace." striking the key note in every heart present. After paying his respects to the old soldiers and their heroic deeds and giving them tlie honor due: the speaker said lie would not dwell upon tlie deeds and valor of tlie past, and then launched earnestly into his subject of a “Worlds' Peace.” His address was replete with argument in favor of the disarmament of the nations and Uiat peace tribunals stiouid suc ceed tlie reign of carnage and blood shed. all the nations to submit to arbitraUon, even if by compulsory means. He spoke of the many efforts along that line, giving facts and figures in support cf Uie grand end of universal peace, when all matters should be threshed out by represent aUves of nations of the earUi. and Uiat the millions upon millions of money now expended in the arma ment of naUons and keeping up of Ute armies and navies should be turned into Uie channels of educa tion and Uie beauUfying of our homes and countries. He spoke of tlie 72 millions of dollars annually expended by U.is country to keep us on a war footing and would that thedar might soon come when those million* would be used in the paths of peace, rather than in the trail of war. It would be impassible for us to give eveb an out line of the speaker s grand thoughts, much lest give any idea of the force, * « earnestness tod personality behind the words and thoughts uttered. At the close of the address, a ladies quartet, composed of Mrs. Coral Zim merman. Miss Nettie Conger and the Misses Florence and Mable Depew, beautifully rendered, “Tenting on the Old Camp Ground,” followed by a ; pleasing instrumental piece by the Cornet Band, after which catne the distribution or dowers by the Ladies of the G. A. R., the doxology, and benediction by Rev. Blom. After the program was concluded, a pro eesasion was formed and proceeded } to the cemetery, where services in ' honor of the "Unknown Dead" were held. Mr. A. L. Zimmerman deliver ing a short an appropriate address, followed by the decoration of graves of comrades, and the day dedicated to Our Nation's Heroes was con cluded. Humanity It's the bad that’s in the best of us. Makes the saint so like the rest of us: It’s the good in the darkest curst of us. Redeems and saves the worst of us. It s the muddle of good and badness. It s the tangle of tears and gladness. It's the lunacy linked with sanity. That makes and mocks humanity. —Arthur Stringer in All Story Magazine. Just How Far We Have Ad vanced Toward a ’’Sane Fourth.” In the June Woman s Home Com panion there appears an article showing the progress that has been made toward bringing to pass a sane Fourth of July. Following is an extract: "The crusade for an approach to sanity in our national patriotic celebration has made real' progress. There were only eighteen cases of lockjaw resulting from fireworks last year, fifty-four fewer than in 1910 Of these only ten died, thanks to the tetanus antitoxin. Forty-seven persons were killed outright by ex plosives, making fifty deaths in all as against 131 in 1910, and 215 in 1909 Among the victims last year were twelve little girls who were burned to death by fire from fireworks. Only 169 blank cartridge wounds in 1911, while 410 were reported in 1910, and injuries from these noisemakers cause more than four fifths of the cases of lockjaw. ’’The last nine years, according to statistics collected by the American Medical Association, no fewer than 39,125 persons have been killed and injured in celebrating the Fourth of July: And we haven’t even the savage’sexcuse of religious fanaticism. It was criminal indifference on our part to allow Independence Day to become a national calamity”.

The boy was trying to break a piece of rock salt with the butt of the rifle. He was accompanied by two younger children. At the coroner's inq jest it was stated lie bad nothing but blank cartridges and the younger boys with him claim that- two shots were fired from a clump of bushes nearby, and at the second shot Glenn scream ed and fell. A doctor reached him within 15 minutes, but be was dead A 22-liard-pointed bullet pierced the boys lungs, and a main artery leading to the heart. The circumstances would indicate, despite the testimony of the younger brothers, that his death was due to the discharge of the gun in his own hands. The coroner's jury found a verdict as follows: "we the jury find that Glenn Holt came to his death from a gunshot wound by a party unknown to the jury.”— Ravenna News. Boy Scouts out Camping The first organisation of Boy Scouts left Monday morning for their first encampment, under the leadership of E. W. Thompson. The camp stove, chuck boxes, bedding, etc., were i hauled out by Scouts Leschinsky and Sweetland, while the balance of the club—Sharp. Rettenmayer, Owens, Moosp, Fletcher, Gasteyer, Lee, Phillips and Thompson—made the seven-mile trip afoot, in true sports man style. Thev expect to return to civilization the latter part of the week if they are physically able to do so. but as fishing and feasting are the principal features of the trip, an early return is doubtful. However, we understand that Scout Paul Leep er and Jas. Depew are to make an occasional inroad upon the camp rations, so with such master appetites as theirs to contend with, no doubt the campers will run no risk of over eating. Peace and order is main tained by Theodore Gasteyer, who was deputized to perform this most necessary duty, and according to all reports is succeeding well. Fit Calf Coatest far Fare Beys Any farm boy in this county who is not more than 18 years old, and has a beef calf that will be a year old and not more than 2 yean old by next September, may win some good prize money and considerable glory this fall <at the Nebraska state fair. The calf/pay be a tall grade, crossbreed, or purebreed steer or a spayed or matrin heifer. The only provision is that the boy must feed or fatten the calf himself for exhibition at this fair. This is a plan of Arthur Capper, publisher of the Nebraska Farm Journal, to get. tie farm boys interest ed in raising baby beef, the most profitable beef. Behind it is the fact that something must be done to bring the beef steer business back to 1 the cornbelt in time to meet the opportunity that is soon to come in beef raising. Each boy enteringa calf will become a charter member of the first Capper Boys' Baby Beef Club, with head quarters at Omaha, but he must make his entry immediately by writing to W, R. Mellor. secretary of Nebraska State Fair, at Lincoln. Neb., for entry blanks, which the secretary w ill furnish him. The class will be known as the Capper Boys' Beef Special. In addition to the regular prizes offered by each fair assocation. Mr. Capper will offer cash prizes of *15. #10, and#5. respectively, for the three best beef calves exhibited by Ne braska boys. That means six Capper prizes and six fair prizes for the boys, then after the show the boys may sell their baby beeves at auction. Mr. Capper would like to have every boy who enters a calf, or who intends to do so, notify him of the fact on a post card addressed to Nebraska Farm Journal. Omaha. Neb. __ _ Special Meeting County Board Loup City.
