High School Bonds
Election Saturday
Saturday of this week will be held
the bond election for our new high
school building. At this election, all
women who have children of school
age or are property owners in their
own rights have a vote. On our
first page is a cut of the handsome
high school building at Auburn, this
state, which can be duplicated for the
$30,000 in bonds asked for. Vote in
the interest of our children.
Apropos of the publishing of the
picture of the new high school build
ing at Auburn on our first .page, it
might not be out of the tune we are
now singing to give some of the
features of the structure. The base
ment contains a large gymnasium
with locker room, shower baths and
other toilet facilities, also one manual
training room and domestic science
room. There are no posts nor
columns in the gymnasium, which is
50x60 feet in size. The heating plant
is entirely outside the building and
below ground surface. The first
floor contains a large library and
reading room, with office adjoining,
and with private toilet and store
room. At the rear of the building in
opposite corners, are the chemical
and physical laboratories, and
in the center is located
a lecture room with elevated
floors. Between laboratories and
lecture room is located a splendid
store room a dark room and two book
rooms. Adjoining the library and
reading room on one side is the girls'
locker room, with a toilet room of
sufficient capacity and on the other
side similar accomodation for the
boys. The second floor contains a
large study room. 50x60 feet, with
four large recitation rooms adjoining,
one teachers’ room, with private
toilet facilities, one office room with
private toilet room and two store or
book rooms. The building is splen
didly lighted, has a system of steam
heating. thoroughly ventillated,
wired for electricity and in fact
planned in such a way as to be ub to
the standard of the Boston school
house laws.

Congressman Dan Stephens of
Nebraska has introduced a bill in the
lower house providing for the election
of second and third class postmasters
by the patrons of the offices. It is
provided that while only adherents
of the party in power may be candi
dates, members of all parties are
qualified voters. Mavbe yet the Loup
City postoffice can secure its post
master by a vote of the patrons of
the office. And why not? Why
should a few big fellows at the head
of the party decide who the patrons
of the Loup City postofflce want?
According to the Chicago Record
Herald the controversy of the Modern
Woodman of America over the pro
posed increase of rates, which has
now been abandoned, had an injurous
effect on the membership. This was
over 1,000,000 at the beginning of last
year, but the order entered the year
with a membership of 960,968 There
were 80,222 members in temporary
suspension over sixty days and less
than six months and 27,208 members
in temporary suspension less than
sixty days. Now that the advanced
rate question has been abandoned, it
is believed that many of these will re
turn, that being the cause for their
retirement.

Freak Legislators
Butcher Printers
Every legislature has it’s freak
members, and the present Nebraska
session is no exception. One of them
this time happens to be Represent
ative Bollen of Croften. who had a
bill in the legislature to cut the
printers off in their youth and beauty,
that is the country newspapers, and
instead of having the constitutional
ammendments printed in the papers
throughout the state, proposed their
publication in pamphlet form for dis
tribution to the voters, entailing a
large sum for some job printer in the
city and their distribution by mail
like other circulars. However, Mr.
Bollen. if he had any graft in sight
from some lucky aspirant for the job
of printing the amendments in book
form, is not liable to profit thereby,
as the members of the legislative
body sat down on the idea with a
heavy, cold, sickening thud. The
papers throughout the state will very
probably remember the fellow in the
future. It's funny, though, that up
bobs some jirason weed law-maker at
each session, who. after securing all
the aid possible from the newspaper
men in his bailiwick in securing his
election, turns around and knocks on
the papers which boost him and try
to gain a little notoriety by so doing.
We remember a certain member of
the lower Nebraska house some years
ago, who after securing his election
in a large part by the good work of
tiie newspaper fraternity of his dis
trict, introduced a measure in the
house cutting legal advertising in
newspapers in two, and boastingly
proclaiming that if lie could get tils
measure passed and made law, he
could be elected to congress or the
United States senate without the aid
of any d—d paper on earth, as lie ex
pressed himself. However, while the
measure passed the house in the rush
of its dying minutes, the senate, with
our glorious Judge Wall championing
the newspapers, killed the bill and
the matter passed into history.
Later the knifer of newspapers tried
to lift himself out of obscurity again,
but he was never after able to reach
first base in his desire for office.
Even his name has been forgotten
and only his deeds remembered.
Special Prizes
Attractive to the
Hustling Candidates
Six Days to Win a Dia
mond Ring.
There are just six days in which to
win one of the tine special prizes, the
first of which is a beautiful diamond
ring. A complete list of these special
prizes will be found on another page.
The two special prizes will be award
ed to the two candidates turning in
the most money on subscriptions,
both new and renewal, between the
beginning of the contest Feb. lird and
March 5th. Each candidate turning
in $25.00 on subscriptions who does
not w in one of the two special prizes
will be awarded a beautiful gold
locket. This special prize period in
cludes all subscriptions turned in by
the candidate or subscriber, from the
beginning of the contest.
This, however, is not the close of
the contest, and March 5th, should
not be confused with the awarding of
the capital prize, so there is plenty
of time for anyone to start in and
make a good fight for the automobile.
Any candidate can collect $25.00 in a
short time, and win one of the special
prizes, and in addition the votes that
are secured will count toward winning
the automobile, so there is an op
portunity for everyone to be repaid
for their efforts.

Remarkable Success of these Tal
ented Physicians in the Treatment
of Chronic Diseases.
Offer Their Services
Free of Charge
The United Doctors, licensed by
the state of Nebraska for the treat
ment of deformities and all nervous
and chronic diseases of men, women,
and children, offer to all who call on
this trip, consultation, examination,
advice free, making no charge what
ever. except the actual cost of the
medicine. All that is asked in re
turn for these valuable services is
that every person treated will state
the result obtained to their friends
and thus prove to the sick and afflict
ed in every city and locality, that at
last treatments have been discovered
that are reasonably sure and certain
in their effect.
These doctors are considered by
many former patients, among Amer
ca’s leading stomach and nerve spe
cialists and are experts in the treat
ment of chronic diseases and so great
and wonderful have been their results
that in many cases it is hard indeed
to find the dividing line between
skill and miracle.
Diseases of the stomach, intestines,
liver, blood, skin, nerves, heart,
spleen, kidneys, or bladder, rheuma
tism, sciatica, diabetes, bed-wetting,
leg ulcers, weak lungs and those af
flicted with long-standing deep seated
chronic diseases, that have baffled
the skill of the family physican,
should not fail to call.
According to their system no more
operations for appendicitis, gall
stones, tumors, goiter orcertain forms
of cancer. They were among the first
in America to earn the name of the
“Bloodless Surgeons,"’ by doing away
with the knife, with blood and with
all pain in the successful treatment
of these dangerous diseases.
If you have kidney or bladder troub
les bring a two-ounce bottle of your
urine for chemical analysis and mi
croscopic examination.
Deafness often has been cured in
sixty days.
No matter what your ailment may
be, no matter what others may have
told you, no matter what experience
you may have had with other physi
cians, it will be to your advantage to
see them at once. Have it forever
settled in your mind. If your case is
incurable they will give you such ad
vice as may relieve and stay the dis
ease. Do not put off this duty you
owe yourself or friends or relatives
who are suffering because of your
sickness, as a visit at this time may
help you.
Remember, this free offer is for one
day only.
Married ladies must come with
their husbands and minors with their
parents.
