A Frank Talk
on Typewriters
Somehow, the impression has gained ground that there isn’t much
difference between the various makes of typewriters on the market
You may think the same thing. It would take a good, found,
logical argument to convince you that all typewriters do not have the
same efficiency and that a stenographer cannot secure the same results
on every machine.
We are ready to make that argument and to show you by actual
demonstration that '
The L C Smith & Bros. Typewriter
will do more work, better work, with less fatigue to the stenographer,
than any writing machine ever made.
How is this possible ?
Here are a few reasons:
1. It is ball bearing throughout—others are not.
2. All operations are controlled from the keyboard.
3. It is the lightest touch_machine made.
4. It does not “smut” the”carbon.
5. The ribbon reverses automatically.
6. The type is so protected that it is not battered
by collision.
7. One motion of the hand returns the carriage and
operates the line space.
8. It has an inbuilt biller and tabulator.
. 9. No trouble to write on paper as small as a post*
age stamp.
19. It is built for service.

“Yes, his hat is a fuzzy one.”
Fascinating.

The road drag keeps the weeds
down and this alone would pay for all
the road draging that is done in the
year, for these same weeds, if left to
grow, will have to be cut and hauled
off or burned before you can use the
grader. After thi$ the roots gather
on the blade of the grader and it takes
time to free it of the trash, and time
is money when you have four or six
teams working on the grader. The
wear and tear on your buggy or wagon
in passing over the rough roads, alone
would almost pay for the extra ex
pense in dragging them. We do not
know how much one should drag in a
day, but it seems like five miles per
day could be done if full days were
putin. Just drive out to the west
bridge and see the condition of the
road all the way. It is a disgrace to
any town. It could be fixed in fairly
good condition in one day’s work with
the grader and after this grading
the road drag should be put on it
after every rain. What this piece of
road needs to fix it for years to come,
is two or three days work with the
grader getting the sod from the sides
to the center, making deep ditches on
each side of the road with a gradual
slope all the way to the center of
the road. We do not know where the
Commercial Club could do more for
Loup City than to see that this piece
of road was fixed and fixed right.

What Rudyard Kiplind Said
About the Grand Canyon in
Yellowstone National Park
“Hooked into a gulf 1700 feet deep with eagles and fish
hawks circling far below and the sides of that gulf were one
wild welter of color—crimson, emerald, cobalt, ochre, amber,
honey splashed with oort wine, snow-white, vermillion, lemon
and silver-gray in wide washes. The sides did not fall sheer
bnt were graven bv time and water and air into monstrous
heads of kings, dead chiefs—men and women of the old tipae.
So far below^that no sound of its strife could reach us, t he
Yellowstone River ran, a finger wide strip of jade green.
Evening crept through the pines that shadowed us, but the
full glory of the day flamed in that canyon as we weEnt out
very cautiously to a jutting piece of rock that overhung the
deepest deeps of all.”
I want to send you an illustruted pamphlet'0«r the Yellow
stone Park. It contains a fine map iocoIorSo'abotfiUi-vait the
points of interest, and describes the many wonders ,to be seen.
And I would like to tell you just how to go there most
comfortably. > - •*
