BE LOYAL TO
THE HOME TOWN
Stand up for Nebraska, and inci
dentally stand up for Loup City.
The Lord loves the man who stands
up for his home town, hence we are
induced to speak of some of the good
things, some of the live enterprises of
Loup City. Notably at this time we
wish to speak of our home creamery.
Loup City is getting to be one of the
largest cream producing centers of
the state. Our creamery is paying
out to our farmers upward of $4000
per week for cream, eggs and poultry,
and making upward of twelve thous
and pounds of butter per week.
They also have a fine trade in ice
cream, frequently selling upwards of
a hundred gallons per day and we un
derstand they already have orders
booked for several hundred gallons for
the 4th of J uly trade. Our dairymen
are to be congratulated on having this
establishment located here, as they
maintain a much higher level of
prices for cream than is being paid
generally throughout the state. The
big centralizing creameries which
operate stations here have to meet
the local creamery prices which are
two to three cents higher than these
same creameries are paying in other
parts of the state. Out on the main
line of the U. P. and the B. & M.
they pay 24 and 25c while our cream
ery pays 27c for cream delivered by
the farmer at the creamery or shipped
direct by him to the creamery. So it
is easy to see what the price of cream
would be here if it were not for our
local establishment. It is hard to
understand why any Sherman county
farmer should desire to pass by the
home institution and patronize the
big fellows who would leave no stone
unturned, nor any trick untried to
choke off the local institution so they
might knock the prices down to where
they could control the business and
make a profit with their very expens
ive and unbusiness-like station system.
Stand up for Loup City.
Co. Fair Association
The County Fair Association met
at Society Hall last Saturday, June
21, at 2 o'clock p. m.
President Hancock i n regard "to the
county appropriation reported that
the county board had allowed the
association the sum of $281.70.
The membership committee report
ed 120 new members, bringing the
total number up to 104.
The amount of money now in sight
including membership fees and ap
propriation from the county is some
thing over $700. That looks pretty
much like a most successful county
fair this fall.
The resignation of A. J. Johnson
having been handed in, the associa
tion accepted same and elected A. E.
Chase as secretary.
After due deliberation, the associ
ation decided upon September 17 18,
and 19,1913 as the dates for holding
the county fair this fall.
At the close of the meeting the
board of managers, composed of the
president and secretary, and C. W.
Burt, H. J. Johansen, George Zigler,
Henry Beck and R. D. Hendrickson,
met in executive session and decided
to spend not less than $500 on prem
iums.

Ante Exhibit
The automobile display at the Neb
raska State Fair will surpass all pre
vious records this fall. Already the
exhibitors have reserved two-thirds of
machinery hall. The building is 122
x430 and it is feared that it will not
be laig$ enough to adequately set
forth the gigantic autimoblle industry
Reservations for farm machinery
are coming in from all parts of the
country. Nebraska has always had
one of the best displays of implements
i of this kind of any state west of the
Mississippi river.
Worry Often Kills
Insu re your crops against hail storms
and you won’t. It doesn’t cost much
with us, in fact, costs less the quicker

After the Spectacle Peddlers
The licensed optometrists of Ne
braska are after the peddler who sells
glasses without a license.
The legislature of 1913 passed a law
known as House Boll No. 127, Chapter
85 to regulate the pratice of optometry
It is defined to be the employment of
any means other then the use of drugs
for measuring the powers of vision
and adoption of lenses for aid there
of.” Begular practicing physicians
are exempt under law. There is a
fine of 9100.00 or 30 days in jail for
violation of this law. The Nebraska
State Board of Examiners are co-op
erating with the ilncensed optomet.
rists of the state to rid the state of
violators of this law and thay expect
within a short time to bring some of
them to justice.
