CONTEST CLOSES
Mrs. H. W. Ojendyk of Ashton
Winner of Ford Auto, With
Winnie Gasteyer 2nd and
Mrs. Emma Daddow 3rd
in the Race '
___
Monday evening of tills week closed
the great subscription contest which
has been carried on by the North
western for the past nine weeks. At
the final count, the office was crowded
with contestants and their friends and
excitement was intense on all hands.
At exactly 9 o’clock the office was
closed and the contestants began put
ting in their votes, the local contest
manager finally announcing the last
moment when the ballot box would
be closed and no more votes received.
When the announcement was made,
the ballot box w as placed in the iiands
of the judges- -Miss Pearl Needham,
deputy county treasurer: W. J. Root,
assistant cashier of the State Bank,
and Lawrence Polski, assistant cashier
of the First National Bank—and soon
thereafter, with the rapid aid of a
counting machine, the vote was an
nounced, showing Mrs. H. W. Ojendyk
of Ashton the winner of the grand
prize, with Miss Winnie Gasteyer of
this city a close second, followed by
Mrs. Emma Daddow third, the rest of
the contestants following about in
the order as published in the paper
of last week. That the contest was
a happy surprise to the Northw stern
in the successful outcome, would be
to put the matter mildly. From the
beginning, the weather had been by
far the worst of the past season, al
most half of the nine weeks being so
inclement that contestants could not
work to any advantage, and we had
about concluded that we could kiss
good-bye to the wish that we might
record a successful outcome, so far as
regards the addition of any consider
able numberof new subscribers. How
ever, we were most pleasantly surpris
ed, as the result more than tills our
most sanguine expectations, our list
of subscribers is more than doubled,
in fact nearly trebled, and we thereby
happy. We want to take occasion at
this time to give just tribute to Mr.
C. L. Brannan, the live-wire local con
test man sent to take care of the work.
He was on the job every minute,
pleasant, affable and a most indefatig
able worker for the success of the
contest. Miss Pearl Schuette, who
has been local manager of like con
test at Grand Island came up and
helped Mr. Brannan the closing hours,
because of the illness of C. R. Brady,
the head of the series of like contests
over the west, who is lying very ill at
Excelsior Springs, Mo., and could not
be present himself, so sent one of his
most valuable aids in the person afore
mentioned. In closing, the North
western wishes to extend heartfelt
thanks to every contestant in the
race for their good work in building
up the subscription list of the paper,
and also to every one who has given
aid to favorite contestants. It is too
bad that all cannot win, but we can
truthfully say that in the contest just
closed each and every one who has
failed to land the prize lias proven a
good loser, and rank among the best
people of earth.
Card of Thanks
Mr. and Mrs. H. W.Ojendykof Ash
ton wish us to express for them their
warmest thanks to the great, big
hearted people who by their generous
subscriptions to the Northwestern
during the contest made it possible
for them to possess the dandy Ford
auto given away to the contestant
sending in the highest number of
votes, Mrs. Ojendyk being that fortu
nate one. They would like to give
their expressions personally but that
being impossible at this time, take
this occasion of returning the same.

New 5 and 10 Cent

Loup City is to have an up-to-date
5 and 10 cent store. Mr. Bert G.

a fine store in this line in the large

RESOLUTIONS
By Loup City Commercial Club
The death of Herbert W. 1'edlerwas
a great blow to our people. He had
become one of our most loved and re
spected citizens, a noble and useful
man, whose influence was felt for
good, and whose passing away in the
meridian of life, is to be most deeply
regretted and deplored, and this or
ganization feels a keen sense of grief
and sorrow, and the public a great
and irreparable loss in his death.
It is particularly fitting that the
Loup City commercial club should join
in the universal tribute to our la
mented citizen and chief executive of
our beautiful little city.
In his career as a city omciai, he
labored persistently for the people’s
good. No taint of gain ever touched
his hand and no surrender of principle
as he viewed public questions ever
marred his public service.
He worked in the vanguard for our
city's commercial and industrial prog
ress, until death overtook him, and
today how heavily we feel his loss
But the kindly and beautiful traits of
his private life and character made
him most loved by all who knew him,
exemplifying to the fullest extent,
the sterling virtues of friendship,
courage, industry and frugality.
Every day found him as our Master
Mechanic at his post of duty, with
hammer and anvil at the flaming
forge, moulding and fashioning the
useful tools and implements for our
people’s needs.
•Week in week out, from morn till night.
You could hear his bellows blow;
You could hear him swing his heavy sledge.
With measured beat and slow.
Like the sexton ringing the village bell
When the evening sun is low.
• Toiling, rejoicing, sorrowing.
Onward through life he goes.
Each morning sees some task begun,
Each evening sees it close;
Something attempted, something done.
Has earned him last repose.
•Thanks, thanks to thee, our worthy friend.
For the lessons thou bast taught;
Thus at the flaming forge of life
Our fortunes must be wrought;
Thus on the sounding anvil shaped
Each burning deed and thought."’
Therefore be it resolved: That in
the death of Herbert VV. Pedler, Loup
City has lost one of its best, most
energetic, and most useful citizens,
who was always demoted to its inter
ests and its welfare, and this com
mercial club one of its most loved and
respected members.
Resolved, That we tender our heart
felt sympathy as a club and as a peo
i pie to the bereaved wife and family
of the deceased, and that a copy of
these resolutions be forwarded to
them, handed the Loup City papers
for publication and spread at length
on the minutes of this club.
