DECORATION DAY
Grand Address by Judge Aaron
Wall ou “Universal Peace”
I >eco ration I>ay was observed in
Loup City this year as usual. 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 Effect ef Beys Being
Allowed to Carry
Firearms
Another fatal accident resulting
from allowing boys of tender and
immature years to handle fire arms,
caused the death of Glenn Holt, a 13
year-cld boy. who was shot by a 22
calibre rifle at 4:42, last Wednesday.
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.
