Visions from Storkland
The following from Editor Chas.
T. Miller, editor of the Canuelton
(Ind.) Enquirer, who with his wife
visited here last fall at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Mason, shows
vividly the state of mind and visions
of happiness at that editorial home:
“Cannelton, Ind., Feb. 27, 1913_W.
F. Mason. Loup City’ Neb: Mary
Mason Miller was born this morning
at 9:40 o’clock and is doing as well
as any of the Cedar citizens of this
town, and her motherissimply super
fine at this date.” ’.Che bunch Char
ley branded friends while here have
sent him a message of congratulations
that will take several years’ sub
scriptions to his family paper to pay
for.
Following is Daddy Millet’s initial
spasm:
“VOL. I, NO. i.
“The ‘first issue’ of Millers' House
hold Companion reached our table last
Wednesday morning at 9:40 o’clock
and ‘she’ is sticking there faithfully
with a hearty welcome. From
present indications, and with our
heartiest hopes, she will continue to
stick to our table. It’s a girl, and
she's a daisy, but that won't be her
first name. We are not losing our
head by naming her after any white
house ce.ebrities in spite of the fact
that some of our enthusiastic friends
have suggested that we call her Wood
row. In the first place that kid can’t
row and if she could row we don’t
believe she Woodrow, so we are just
going to call her plain Mary Mason
Miller.”—Cannelton (Ind.) Enquirer.
A fine boy came to the home of Mr.
and Mrs. James Arnett in Webster
township last Saturday morning,
March 1st, about the break of dawn.
May his future be nothing less than
president of Uncle Sam’s domains.
A little daughter arrived at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. John Jewezski
in this city early last Friday morning,
Feb. 28, 1913, to round out the month
with joy for the happy couple.

Moving Mania
The moving mania struck Loup
City Monday with fearful force, some
thing like a dozen householders
changing eating and sleeping places.
These, together with others who had
moved a day or two previous, make a
list that was simply great. Herman
Jung moved from his residence back
to the bakery. O. S. Mason moved
from the Daily cottage into the Jung
house: Daily from the old Banker
Williams residence, owned py Pete
Dzingle, into his own home: Dzingle
from his place south of town into his
house vacated by Daily. Joe Vaughn
moved from the Baptist parsonage
into the Huckleebery cottage: Vic
Swanson into the parsonage vacated
by Mr. Vaughn. John Oltmann mov
ing from his farm into his town home
occupied by J. W. Dougal, Mr. Dougal
moving into the Albert Johnson cot
tage. Pete Haremza moved into the
Chris Johansen property, vacated by
Arthur Smith, who goes to Iowa.
Baby Gets Kernel
of Corn in Nose
Last Thursday, while they were
shelling corn, the little 2-year-old
baby of Mr. and Mrs. Will Watts,
living up the valley, while playing
about the sheller, got a kernel of corn
in her little nose, but the parents
hurried her to the office of the Drs.
Bowman and Bowmaq, who removed
the obstruction without serious in
convenience to the baby who looked
upon the performance as something
for her amusement, rather than with
any great concern or fear, and no
harm resulted.
Mrs. Emma McCray
Breaks Hip in Fall
Last Thursday morning', as Mrs.
Emma McCray, teacher in the Loup
City high schools, was on her way to
the school, and when near the A. E.
Chase residence, sne slipped on the
cement walk and fell heavily break
ing one hip. from the effect of which
she is at her home suffering greatly
and will probably be laid up for a
long time. At last accounts the lady
was getting along as well as the
nature of her serious' injury will
allow.
New High School
Nit by Two Votes
At the election last Saturday to
vote bonds for a new high school
building, the proposition was defeated
by two votes the result being 156 for
to T9 against bonding for $30,000 for
the same. The day was about the
worst of the winter, the weather be
ing extremely cold with a strong
north wind sending blinding snow in
the faces of those who braved the
elements to cast their votes on the
proposition.
