Come in and see me. Decoration Day Decoration Day this year brought with it one of the finest and most en ! joyable days of the season. While the j weather was not as cool as could have been wished, yet the heavy clouds dispelled much of the heat that would otherwise have been most depressing, and made it a pleasureable occasion for all. In commemoration of the day, the business houses closed in the afternoon, and all who could be ac commodated went to the Presby terian church to attend the services. The program as printed in the North western was carried out in full. It . was a disappointment to many that the exercises were not had in the new opera house, where so many more could have been accomodated. Exer cisesopened with the song, “America,” by the audience, followed with prayer by Rev. Jueling. Mrs. Lou Schwaner then rendered a sweet solo, which was followed by Lincoln's'address at Get tysburg by Miss Hallene Mellor, with quartet by Mrs. Lou Schwaner. Mrs. A. B. Outhouse, Mr. L. N. Smith and Mr. A. J. Johnson. The speaker of the day was Rev. Wm. Crisp of Osce ola, an old veteran of the Civil War, and who by reason of his comrade ship with the Boys in' Blue in those days, gave a talk which was mos‘ heartily appreciated by the few re maining members of the Old Guard, as well as by the great crowd present. At the close of the address. Mr. Wor lock rendered that patriotic air, “Tenting on the Old Camp Ground,” and followed by music bv the band. I after which the audience was dis missed with benediction by Rev. Tourtellot. Following these services, a large procession of autos filled with people went to the cemetery for the final ceremonies and decorating of the graves of the heroic dead, and another Decoration Day had passed into history. Card o? Thanks We desire to thank each and every one who helped to make Cemetery Tag Day a success, especially the Misses Gladys and Esther Hosier. Catherine Owens and Amanda Steen. Cemetery Aid SocieTY. A Precocious Poet The past school year, a littlp 10 year-old boy, Lloyd Emerson, Son of Dr. Emerson of Eingham, Nebr., has been making his home with Commis sioner McDonald, at Austin, and it developes that the little fellow has tiie born spirit of a poet within him, in fact, is about the youngest execu tor of rhymes coming to our notice in this latter day. The lines are more remarkable to those who know this child because of the fact that he is very childlike and simple in his actions and the words seem to arrange themselves for him with very little effort, so diat lie does not appear to feel that writing verse is any more difficult or more to be desired tban is prose. Mr. McDonald and ali of the little fellow's friends will watch his future developement with more than ordinary interest. The following poem was written at the Grand Cen tral Hotel, Broken Bow, Nebraska, just after a Sunday dinner, April 27, 1913. He borrowed a pencil in the hotel lobby, went up to his room and returned in a very few minutes with this poetical product: DO NOT DRINK WH ISKY Do not drink whisky In all cases it's bad. Do not drink whisky > Or yon will be sad. • Whiskey ts wrong As many will teU. Whiskey is vile And is not fit to seil. Leave whisky alone. And then you’re a man. If you fall for it You're worse tban a tin can. If you all quit whisky And start in right. Then theie won’t be poverty But what you can Hght. The following tribute to a rough haired, ill-mannered horse, was thought out and put together while the above youthful author was lead ing the bulky bay to water, and it was dictated for copy while the horse listened and approved, at the stable on tiie ranch near Ellsworth, Neb., May 16,1913: The big bay horse Is tough and coarse And hasn’t got much sense. He hates to work. He likes to play And kick and break the fence. Get my prices aod see my stock of watches before making your purchase. Schwaner, the Jeweler. Do You Wail Cement Work? Anyone wanting block work, house or foundation, or any kind of cement work, see me. I have on hand at present a large number of concrete blocks nicely cured. I ask your pat ronage. C. J. Tracy - T- • ---- , ■ "■ ..-■■■- ■ ".. Opening Day at Jenaer's Park. Tuesday. June 10th. A Cheap Pit SUo No farmer or dairyman should be without a silo, or need be without one on account of lacking money to build with or to buy one. All you need is A team of horses, a plow and a scraper, and a little time to bufld a trench silo in this way, which will be very satisfactory. Select the hill or knoll nearest to the barn, or your feeding location: dig a trencli into it, leaving the mouth of the trench lower than the back of it, so it will drain. The width, d£pth and length of the trench must be governed by the size of the crop you are going to raise, and how fast you are going to feed it. A good crop of corn will produce about eight to ten tons of ensilage per acre, and your silo will hold about thirty-five pounds of-ensilage to the cubic foot. From that you can easily figure the size to make your silo, and the width and ( depth of it want to be made especially to tit the amount you expect to feed from it daily. Toucan figure a cow eating from twenty to forty pounds of ensilage per day. This treneh does not necessarily have to be cemented up or walled up— just make a good, clean job of^t. In filling, be careful not to cut your corn too green: it is better to let the frost nip the leaves some than have the corn cut too soon. If you have aiK ensilage cutter, all right, use it for cutting your com up. If not, put it in whole, seeing that the stalks are laid parallel with each other. Take particular pains to do a good job of it, and pack them down as tight as possible. Then cover up the corn with about a foot of straw, and on top of this straw seal it up with about one or two feet of dirt, piling the dirt so it forms a crown over the trench. In this way you get an absolutely air-tight silo, and you don’t lose the eight inches or foot of ensilage that is generally .lost in the stand-up silos. It is the easiest silo to fill, the easiest silo to get the ensilage out of, and will keep better than any of them. You ought to keep a trench filled over from year to year; it would come in handy during the dry season. If,you wish, near the mouthofyour silo, or wherever you care to fill it to, place two posts, about one foot in diameter, on the two respective sides. On the side next to the ensilage place planks that will be heavy enough to hold the pressure of the ensilage, and on the outside of the posts board that up, wiring the boards and the planks together to keep them from bursting out; and then seal up this foot space in between the boards and planks with mud. In taking your ensilage out, take off your boards and work in from the end, and throw your straw and dirt back as you take the ensilage out. If put up this way properly, you need not lose a pound of ensilage. Of course, there can be all kinds of extra finishing touches put on this trench siio, if you wish, such as ce menting it up or walling it up, sup plying it with a cement bottom, and covering it with a tarpaulin and then dirt, instead of straw and dirt. If you figure that kind won’t use up your surplus money, and you are bound to have one tliat will show up, build it out of cement. Put no roof on them, but cover them with straw and weight them down with dirt. It is a mistake to build only one silo. Why not have one or two silos full left over in case of emergency during a dry season? They will be seated up with dirt, and would keep a fewf years anyhow. Any inquiries regarding any of the silos mentioned will be gladly given by H. M. DeWitt, Denver, Colorado. A Big Day June 18 Advices from Central City state | that the big rally to be held there June 18 in the interests of larger and more profitable milk production will be one of the biggest affairs in the state along agricultural lines. Large displays of equipment and addresses by the best informed men in the state will make it a day of great interest. The occasion is for the “man with the cow,” whether he has one cow or twenty. Features that usually oc cupy three days are presented on this one. We are in receipt of the pro gram for the rally, and we are sure that every man who goes there with his family will be attending a show hardly less interesting than similar displays and talks at the state fair. People from sixteen counties will be there. Better plan to attend. Special Teachers’ Examination. A - special teachers’ examination will be given the third Friday and following Saturday in June, June 20 and 21st, 1913, in all county certificate subjects only. L. H. Currier, County Superintendent. For Sale The best hay. Will' deltver any where In town, Robert Dlnodale, Obituary James W. Landers The sad news of the death of James W. Landers, of Arcadia, came too late for more than mere mention in our last issue. J. VV. Landers, generally known as Jim, was born in Missouri in 1854, moved to Iowa in boyhood, and was married to Martha J. Thompson in 1874. They moved to Loup City, Ne braska, in 1880, where he engaged in the butcher business, and with the advent of the railroad, branched out into the stock business and was very successful, being one j>f the best judges of livestock in tlie northwest. Moved to Arcadia in idBl, where he resided until the date of his death, May 27, 1913, aged 59 years and some months. He left surviving him, his widow, his aged father of 87 years, two daughters and five grand-children, an only son having departed this life in infancy. -He was interred in Ever green cemetery of this place on the 29th day of May, the services being under the auspices of Loup City Lodge, No. 33, A.O.U.W., a large con course of people of Arcadia and Loup City being in attendance. Jim was noted for his liberality, no person in need of assistance ever /ap pealed to him but that his hand (as if by natural instinct) went to his pocket in response thereto. Some may stt in ihe scor#t-r s seat. And hurl the cynic's ban. But liberal Jim was seldom beat. In being a frleud to man. If a flower were placed upon his grave for every kind act bestowed, his last resting place would be a bed of roses. When the darkhess of death came to the home of a friend, Jim Landers was not deterred by weather or distance in his efforts to restore peace and comfort to the troubled mind, and as he was faithful to friends and lived in the spirit of charity, his many virtues shall notgoun-rewarded.

Throughout the ages we have looked for a cure for disease from without, not within. Something we could take internally or hypodermically. Are you tired of it? If so call at the Fred erick Hotel Tuesday or Wednesday, June 10th or lltb, and meet ourcon sulting Physician, Dr. B.H.

We have made and lost, but in the main have gained, have often left the near to seek the far off good, which we have seldom found. Many old men will very likely read these simple words, tired of summer heat and winter cold, they want to rest and we can tell them how because we know of many young men who want to buy just what they desire to sell. We can show them how to do these very things with safety to them both and we can make a profit for ourselves which no one will regret. I i__ Come Give a; trill!
