New K. of P. and Masonic Temple The Knights of Pythias occupied ! tiieir new home for the first time last week Wednesday night, which is in conjuction with the Masons over the Ogle Oarage in the new H. W. Pedler building. The hall is a fine one, with banqueting room adjoining and with Uie necessary ante-rooms, closets, re ceptacles for paraphernalia of the orders, etc. The baU is to be used jointly by the K. of P. and Masonic orders, with their auxiliaries, and has been elegantly fitted up with carpets, upholstered furniture, piano, and everything necessary to make it up. tCMiate in every particular. We doubt if there is a finer temple for secret orders in Central Nebraska. Mr. Ped ler is certainly entitled to unstinted praise in providing such a royal place 1 for the orders.

Thank you_ Sargent News. Sargent to Have Electric Lights. A movement is on foot, as we see by the Sargent News, for an electric light plant in its city. Supt. Bignell of the Burlington is one of the pro jectors. At a meeting of the citizens of that live villiage, unanamous en couragement was given the proposed enterprise. What Bro. Miller Thinks of We’uns Bro. Miller of the Cannelton (Ind.) Enquirer who, with his wife,recently returned to his Hoosier home after m futrrrinri visit here at the W. F. Mason home, and who made a host of friends througltout city and county, writes entertainingly of his visit here, his experiences and how he looks at the country, as follows: Loup City, Neb., Oct. 19. To The Enquirer Readers: If 1 remember correctly, my pre vious letter to you concluded with the promise to tell you something more de tailed of tlte little city of Loup her people and their methods. The end of this week will likely conclude our pleasant visit here and we will move a few hundred miles into Iowa, near Cedar Falls, where we will spend the remainder of the time we have mapped out for our western visit and then return to Cannelton. Loup City is located peculiarly to some day become a second Cincinnati with its encircling highlands and endless level building space, and within a ra dius of twenty miles in all directions lies some of the finest farming lands of Nebraska. There are no manufac tures lie re worthy of mention and the city depends solely upon tite wealth of tier farming interests. Tlte land commands from tto to $135 per acre, and strange too as It may seem,where titer* is one acre under cultivation there is fifty acres in its virgin state and devoted to hay arxj grating lands. There is also an enormous acreage of alfalfa from which the farmers pro cure four cuttings to the seasos. Corn in past years has yielded far better titan at tlte present season which ac counts for prairie hay and alfalfa com manding an unusually high price just now—from $10 to $13 per ton—in past S from $6 to $10. But I am a little off the original subject. I started to tell you about Loup City and particularly of her several natural advantages of which she is making good use. Middle Loup river,a wide,swiftstream,buttooshal low to float a joboat, flows almost within the city limits of Loup and passes entirely through Sherman county, from north-west to south-east, or as we say at home "catacornered,” ‘•catawampus" and “on the bias”, like mother cuts our pie. When “bigbusi ness” began to gobble up all that looked good in this community in its earliest days, the citizens of Loup City took up the example and appro priated a goodly portion of the river for “the good of the town.” They tapped into the river and carried the water through an artificial canal which operates a massive turbine and flows back into the river. This turbine gen trates the power that furnishes the city with electricity for lighting and all other useful purposes without the expenditure of a cent for fuel. A new electric light system is just being completed that renders a continuous service twenty-four hours a day every day in the week. In addition to operating tire electric light plan^ the power from the turbine operates a modern flouring mill. Large oil engines operate the light plant and the flouring mill in winter when the canal is frozen over. Another similar and simpler pro cess is the arrangement that operates the city’s water works plant. Pure, clear cold water es derived from four wells located upon the highland near the city that are driven to the depth of 175 feet. Massive windmills operate the pumps in the wells, and believe me. there is never a lack of ‘•power’’ to run the mills out here. There are occasions when there is considerable “transferring’’ of real estate of which record is never made. We had such a day yesterday when it moved south, and we are expecting to see it come back tomorrow. However it is a nice clean quality of dirt, and when one dosen’t like it he can step in the house. If man is essentially doomed to “eat his peck of dirt’’ he doesn't have to wait long after putting in his order out here. He gets it quick, but it may be said conservatively that the wind is the only disagree able feature of this; section. The weather today is as line as any brand r^alifnrnia pvor nrnHnnoW But to refer again to Ihe wind-mills, (which I have learned to view as the mutual competitors of fellows in the newspaper business, because their principal stock in trade is the same as ours,) like the water that furnishes the city light, they furnish the city water and absolutely without cost ex cept for the grease that goes on the gearing and at that there is no cost for applying it, as the city marshal attends to tliat duty once a week the same as our city marshal winds the city clock every Tuesday morning. Water and light rates are very reason able, as might be expected under the circumstances. The city owns the water plant and the light plant is owned by individuals. The water supply never varies the year round and there is a constant pressure of 60 pounds on the mains. Comparing past conditions at homo and as they exist here along the line of water service, a fellow hates to see this nice, clear water poured upon a tire, but that’s what they do with it here. The founders of Loup City unques tionably had tire right idea. AH the streets of the citjrare equally as wide as Broadway in Louisville. Eight years ago .there were but two brick buildings in the city; today they are numerous and more building right along. At present there is under construction an opera house, a mas sire hotel and several store buildings | of brick. This place supports three large and modern garages, two of brick and one of concrete blocks, and all are filled with modern machines. Residents take an especial pride in keeping up their homes and premises. Concrete is playing an important part in the improvement of Loup City. Concrete walks line every business and residence thoroughfare on both sides: modern homes and business houses are building of concrete blocks. It is very common to see the latest designed homes on the farms around here built of concrete blocks with walks all about them of the same material. Every farmer lias his own water works system upon his farm and throughout his home, enjoying the use of hot and cold clear water, all furnished by the windmill on his place. These advantages are pleasant to be in possession of, of course, but then they are nothing to discourage us in old Perry as they can be had and en joyed only in communities where natural conditions provide ttiem. There is a particular similarity one will readily notice with the soil here and that in Perry county, and in which the two are about equal. If you mix it with water it will turn to mud of that adhesive, sticky quality, the only difference being that ours is of the paroxide blond hue while this brand here is more on the order of printer’s ink and makes more of a 1 prominent appearance on a summer 1 suit of clothes. WHERE THE CHILDREN OBEY Courtesy to the E!ders Universal In That Country, Makes the Ger man Home Ideal. As a rule German children of all classes are treated as children and taught the elementary virtue of obedi ence. Das Recht des Kindes is a new cry with some of the people, but nev ertheless Germany is one of the few | remaining civilized countries where the elders still have rights and priv ileges. I heard of an English woman the other day who said that she had never eaten the wing of a chicken, because when she was young it was always given to the older people, and now that she was old it was saved for the children. If she lived in Germany ahe would still have a chance, provid ed she kept away from a small loud set, who in all matters of education 1 and morality would like to turn the 1 world upside down. In most German homes the noisy, spoilt American child would not bo endured for a moment, and the little tyrant of a French family would be taught its place to the comfort and advantage of all concerned. I have dined with a large family where eight young ones of various ages sat at an overflow table and did not disturb their elders by a sound. It was not because the elders were harsh or the young folks repressed, but because Germany teaches its youth to behave. The little girls still drop you a pret ty old-fashioned courtesy when they greet you. The little boys, if you arc staying in the house with them, coma and shake hands at unexpected times —when they arrive from school, for instance, and before they go out for a walk.. They play the same games as English children and I need hardly say that they are brought up on the same fairy stories, because many of our favorites come from Germany.— From “Home Life in Germany,” by Mrs. Alfred Sldgwiek. _ _ V • .... MAU LAIU AWAY IKc BAiMJU Old Darky Found His Tsients Brought Him Into Grave Danger, and He Fled. Senator John Sharp 'Williams tells of a "character" in a southern state known as “the best banjo player any where.” It followed, therefore, that when a lady In the town whereof this instrumentalist is a resident wished to show some northern visitors just what a genuine old darky could do with a banjo she called at Unde Henry’s lit tle cabin and. stated, her wishes to his ■wife. “I is very sorry, missy," said the wife, “but Henry he ain’t playin’ de banjo any mo’.” She then indicated the spot where the instrument lay, covered with dust “He jes’ puts in all his time fishin’ now.” “What led him to give up his play ing?” asked the visitor. “Has he got religion?” “No, missy, dat wuthless nigger ain’t got no religion. No, missy; he’s done got skeered." “Scared? Of what?” “By dat minstrel show, honey. De boss of dat show he hearn de ole man playin’, an’ he offers him a stidy job doin’ it. Yassum, an it skeered Hen ry so bad dat he quit banjo playin’ i right awajrT_ So They All Ate Onions. Sailie Fisher, the musical comedy star, who sang herself Into the upper register of popular favor with that “Dearie” song, has & mother who oc casionally gets Sallte into trouble. It was at a little dinner party in New York last season and there were tour at the table. Sailie. her mother and two friends. Mrs. Fisher carefully scanned the menu card and then stat ed, wtth particular emphasis, that she wanted an order of Spanish onions, sliced and raw, and didn't care what else was ordered. “Mother!" ejaculated Sails® “Onions? And before the perform ance?" “Onions and before the perform ance," insist, d Mrs. Fisher. Then sha cast a rather scornful expression to ward the fastidious daughter. "If these boys could see you eating garlic in the summer time they would have no objections to my entire onions in the winter time,” said Mrs. Fisher, <5® cisively, v hereupon Sailie collapsed. Then they all ate onions. She Hadn’t Taught as Long as That. A primary teacher, whose efficiency had extended her term of service in one school so long that she was teach ing the second generation, frequently spoke to her pupils of the time when -their parents had been in her room and often mentioned persons about town who had gone to school to her. Just before the winter holidays she took occasion to speak of the signifi cance at Christmas, explaining that it was the anniversary of the birth of Jesus. The story was familiar to most of the children, but one little fellow, whose religious education was not as extensive as that of "the others, spoiled the effect by innocently piping up: “Did he ever go to school to you?” Motor Tricycle. The most recent novelty in London is the automobile tricycle, invented for shopping purposes. It is operated standing and takes up scarcely more room than the driver, so that it can he propelled into a shop and wheeled about as desired. It has a speed rang ing to as much as sixteen kilometers per hour.
