Road Drag Day
By the Tingley (Iowa) Vindicator,
published by the editor's brother, we
see that the business men of his town
and of other towns in his county, have
incorporated what they call “Road
Drag Day,” in which the "business
men show their interest by offering
prizes for good roads leading into
their towns, merchants, professional
men and newspapers all giving of
money or merchandise. In some in
stances, money or merchandise is given
any and all farmers who come to town
with drags along one side of their
roads and returning along the other
side of the roads. In other cases,
gifts of merchandise in various
amounts are given for best roads lead
ing to the towns. We speak of this as
a possible incentive to Loup City to
get busy on that or some other plan
to make better roads. We clip the
following from the Vindicator regard
ing a general road drag day incorpo
rated at the county seat:
“Last Thursday was road drag day J
at Mt. Ayr and 100 farmers eVne to
town on road drags, the average dis
tance traveled being ten miles.
Twenty-three business men of that
city gave prizes to the farmers or
treated to cigars, candy, or fruit.
The prizes ottered amounted to over
$600. This should be an incentive to
all the towns in Ringgold county to
have a road drag day and organize a
good roads club in each place to boom
for better roads. E. I). Sherman is ;
pushing the organization of a good
roads club in Tingley, and the Vindi
cator will do all in its power to fur
ther on the movement. When it
comes to road drag day we will be
found ready to offer a prize that will
be worth coming for.”
PROCLAMATION
Clean-lip Day Monday, May 26
In compliance with the suggestion
made by Governor John II. Morehead
that city officials of the various cities
and towns throughout the state call
attention of the poeple to the observ
ance of a day designated asilClean-Up
Day,” the city council of Loup City
request that Monday. May 26,1913, be
designated as such day for this city.
1 hereby request all citizens to set
aside the day above mentioned for the
purpose of cleaning up their premises
and alleys of all refuse and waste of
every kind, that our city may present
a cleanly, sightly and sanitary ap
pearance, in the interest of health,
safety from tires and possible epidem
ics arising from unsanitary conditions
and neglect thereof.
A. B. Outhouse, Mayor. ;
I Clean-Up Day
Elsewhere in this issue will he
found the official proclamation by the’
mayor and city council setting aside
Monday, the 2titli day of May, as gen
eral clean-up day in this city. The
State Fire Warden has written to
every city, town and hamlet in the
state, warning them of the danger
arising from waste paper, and refuse
of all kinds, in alleys and by-ways, J
which may not only cause unexpected |
fires, but breeds disease as well, and
asking said cities, towns and hamlets
to set aside a day for general cleaning
up along these lines. And the warning
is timely, too, in every respect. Be
sides this, it is urged that an ap
pointment be made of a fire inspector
in each locality, whose duty it is to
examine all chimneys and flues in
every building to insure safety from
tires, and to report and see to it that
all chimneys or flues out of repair or
in unsafe condition be repaired in
stanter. Such appointment will be
officially sanctioned by the state tire
warden and credentials sent such
official as duly authorized to attend
to the matter. The Northwestern
calls attention to the above in the
hopes that every-citizen will consti
tute himself a committee ofonetosee
that his premises are made clean and
safe and wholesome and if anything
is wrong with Hues or chimneys lie
will be prompt to attend ta repairing
of same, for his own benefit and
safety as well as for the benefit and
safety of others.
An interesting History
.1. L. Baillie of this city is enjoying
a visit from his son. W. L. Baillie of
Plymouth, England, who arrived last
Thursday noon for a few week's visit.
The latter has quite an interesting
history. Born in Canada.some forty
seven years ago, he came to this
country when a lad. As he arrived
at manhood's years, lie learned the
photographic business and traveled
for a number of years over Minnesota,
Washington, Texas and other western
and soutiiern states taking views and
doing other photographic jwork.
i.atcr lie went to Australia, where lie
was in business for perhaps a year.
Thence' lie went to England and
established himself in photographic
business at Plymouth, where he still
continues, employing perhaps a dozen
artists and doing well. Some eight
years ago, lie made a visit to this
country to see his parents and rela
tives, and this is his first visit to
A merica since tbattime. He expects
to go from here to visit his sister,
Mrs. W. H. Riglitenour at Wiggins,
Colo., before returning to his home
across the big pond.

Arcadia, and a winsome lassie. They
will at once go to housekeeping in
this city.

Smith, he also uniting in wedlock
Chas. A. Aldrich (not the ex-governor,
however,) of Palmer, and Mrs. Laura
II. Romine of York, the judge’s repu
tation as a promotor of conjugal hap
piness having permated that far
southward.

District Meeting
i of Rebekahs
Tuesday. May <i, 101.'!, a jolly crowd
of Loup City and Rockville Rebekahs
boarded the i!. A M. passenger for
Arcadia, where the 5th annual meet
ing of the Rebekahs of Pist. 32, was
to begin a two days'session that even
ing. On arrival they were met by
the reception eommitte, who con
ducted them to the waiting autos and
soon deposited them at the different
homes to wait and rest until the even
ing session opened. About 7 o’clock
more Rebekahs arrived by auto, and
joining forces they all proceeded to
the I.O.O.F. hall, where the meeting
was called to order at about 8 o'clock
with Sister Anna B. Crawford of Uni
versity Place, Neb., present as in
structor, and Pist. President, Katie
Hendrickson in the chair. Sister
Crawford is certainly a very pleasant
and agreeable lady and gives every one
the feeling that they have been bene
fited by meeting her.
After the call to order a splendid*
address of welcome was well delivered
by Mrs. Yashti Hastings of Arcadia
and responded to by Mrs. J.W. Conger
of Loup City. The roil call of officers
showed most of them present. Dele
gates Lucia Drake of Arcadia. Edith
Strom of Rockville and Aimee Conger
of Loup City gave interesting reports
of their home lodges. The instructor
gave a very line talk on the Degree of
Chivalry branch and the meeting ad
journed until - p.tn. Wednesday.
At 3 o'clock Wednesday the meeting
opened in regular order, and all joined
in singing that good old song. America.
Election of officers followed, each
officer going in by acclamation:
President. Mrs. Anna Lay. LoupCity:
vice president, Mrs. Lillie Coletrain,
Sargent: warden, Mrs. .1. W. Conger,
LoupCity: secretary, Mrs,W.M. Stark,
Sargent. The school of instruction
and question box Was of great benetit
to the order. Many perplexing ques
were asked and answered, Sister Craw
ford being tireless in her efforts to
do the most good in the short time.
She also brought up and explained
many things that have perplexed the
lodges in other parts of the state and
we find that the course of true lodge
work does not always run smooth,
for the g<x)d of the or«,-q\ some mem
bers gave test drills in the secret
work and others, experiences in gain
ing admitance when visiting other
lodges, after which the meeting was
adjourned till evening.
The reception committee had been
busy meeting the trains all day and
had deposited many more from Sar
gent. Rockville and Loup City in
comfortable homes to await the even
ing session. Although the weather
man had the sulks and attempted to
drown our enthusiasm with a pelting
rain, by noon he found it useless and
ended up by giving us a beautiful af
ternoon, and despite the muddy roads,
about 8 o'clock six auto loads arrived,
live from Loup City and one from
Rockville.
At 8:30 the meeting opened and, al
though Arcadia lias a large, commo
dious hall, it required a double row of
chairs almost around the hall to ac
commodate the large crowd. The
program opened with a beautiful solo
by Mrs. Stark of Sargent, the wftrds
of which touched every member
present. The regular order of busi
ness, with officers of Vesta Lodge in !
the chairs, was followed bj- initiation !
by the Loup City team, which, for.
the ten days’ practice they had, did i
some splendid work, nutation was;
followed by a recitation by Mrs. Jas. j
W. Conger. On account of sickness, ]
the music to follow had to be omitted.
A recitation entitled “Neighbors,”
eloquently delivered by a young lady
of Arcadia, was followed by installa
jtion of the new officers, under escort
of several Canton brothers, when out
going officers turned the work over to
the new ones. Next followed a tine
cornet solo by R. N. Pritchard of Loup
City and a vocal solo by Mrs. Anna
Lay of Loup City, the beautiful words
of which were touching and truthful,
Sister Crawford gave us another in
structive talk aftd J. S. Pedler re
sponded under the good of the order,
after which the new district officers
closed what every member admitted
was the best district meeting they had
ever attended.
Words can not express the thanks
due the Arcadia Rebekahs for the
way they took care of the visiting
members. Nothing was omitted from
the time they arrived in the city
until every one left the hall after the
grand banquet served by the members
of Vesta lodge.
Special mention is also due District
President Katie Hendrickson and
District Secretary Nettie Conger for
their faithfulness and efficiency in
preparing the program. It was not
fully decided where the next district
meeting will be held.
Those in attendance from Loup
City were: Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Con
ger, Mr. and Mrs. R. D. Hendrickson,
Mr. and Mrs. O. F. Petersen, Mr. and
Mrs. R. N. Pritchard, Mr. and Mrs.,I.

Advance in Stock Breeding
Nebraska live stock breeders have
made a distinct advance during the
; last few years in the breeding of pure
blood stock. The Annual American
Short Horn Ye^r Book, containing the
pedigree of the animals calved be
fore April 18, 1911. records the names
of 947 Nebraska owners of bulls and
cows of fautless pedigree. This indi
cates a widespread knowledge of im
proved methods and practical recogni
i tion of the profits to be derived from
j careful and scientific breeding.
