Annual School Meeting
New Directors Elected
Monday of this week was the annual
school meeting. A larger attendance
of patrons participaied in its deliber
ations than for a num: er of years.
Only three members of the school
board were present, Mr Henry being
ill. Mr. Leininger being ah-ent from
the city and Mr. Callaway being de
terred from being on hanu by busi
ness. E. G. Taylor acted as modera
tor. with ,!. $. Pettier secret ary.
An auditing committee, composed
1 of Messrs. Waite. Burleigh and Ftober
was appointed to examine the ae
.ounts of the treasurer and secretary
and found them correct.
A lengthy discussion over the inad
equacy of our public sciiool building
for the needs of the school district,
brought about but little result. A
majority upon vote decided that a
high school building to cost less than
i-i MwJ was not to be ei.nside.td, tho
quite a num. er of those sj voting
would be content wuh a building
costing $o,ouo less rather than havt
none at all. Finally, upon vote,
t.ie moderator was instructed to ap
point a committee of five to look into
the matter of the feasibility of a new’
building and matters pertaining
thereto and see what can be deduced
along the lines of the above discus
sion. The committee was composed
as foliovNs: Mrs. D. 1). Grow, H. R.
il. Williams. i>r. D. A. Leeper, C. R.
Sw.eiland, A. it. Outhouse.
Oa motion the hoard was instructed
to, ii possible, find suitable accommo
dations lor grades otherwise than m
tile basemenf of the present building
which was heartily condemned by tbe
patrons as being entirely unfit from
every standpoint. The terse remarks
of Prof. Ytilliams, formerly of the
Arcadia schools, in regard to the
basement of our present school build
ing being a menace to tiie health and
well being of scholars who must per
foice occupy the same for study and
recitation, was enthusiastically re
ceived, showing the feeljnj» of the
patrons of the schools over their use.
One lady insisted that her boy had
seriously injured his eyes by being
compelled to attend school in said
ousement, while ottiers were free to
say that their little ones should not
attend school the coining year, if com
pelled to receive instruction therein.
The questions of firedrllls and fire
tire escapes were vigorously taken up
by patrons, resulting in a motion to
the ellect that fire drills should be
held weekly in the high school build
ing during the first si.i months of the
school year the weather permitting.
Messrs. VY'. S. Waite and W. Larsen
were elected as directors to fill the
required positions.
The hour b dug late, and discus
sions regarding the various questions
coming before the meeting having
covered all phases, on motion adjourn
ment was taken.

Editor Loup City Northwestern
Loup City, Nebraska
My dear Editor:—
1 am getting the ••Northwestern”
all right now and am glad to read
each week about the. doings of neigh
bors and friends in Loup City. 1
promised you that 1 would write but
thought 1 should wait until we saw
how the crops were doing here. So I
can write now withaclearconscience.
It is a good country, a place to make
a home. Trees, water, roads, and an
abundance of grass rnakes.it a pretty
country. There are several nice lakes
not far from us.
Wc have had lots of hard work this
spring getting things in shape. Have
been busy all the time. You see Will
and myself have "20 acres to look
after and get in shape.
While we think Nebraska is all
right, we certainly like our home here
and will have no inclination to return
only for a visit.
We have a number of new and good
neighbors, some of whom moved in
this spring. All are pleased and
enthusiastic about their new homes.
The crops are tine here and it would
surprise yon to see how large our
com is, and there is a lot of it.
It will not be long now until they
will begin harvesting their winter
rye, which is mostalwaysa sure crop.
Will and myself have both sown
, alfalfa here, although there is really
no need for it as there is plenty of
clover and timothy. Oats, wheat,
barley; (lax, rye and com all doing
splendid- Good stands and good color.
1 give you all au invitation to come
' and see us. I remain,
Very truly, yours,
George Peterson.

Physical Arithmetic
This was the note which was hand
ed to one of tiie grade teachers the
other day:
“Dear Mum—Please ixcuse Johnny
today. He will not be at school this
week. He isactingas timekeeper for
his father. Last night you gave him
this ixample, if a field is 4 miles
square how long will it take a man
walking 3 miles an hour to walk 2%
times around its Johnny ain’t no
man so we had to send his daddy.
They left early this morning, and my
husband said they ought to be back
late tonight, tho it would be hard
going. Dear Mum, please make the
next problem about ladies, as my
husband can’t afford to lose the day’s
work. I don't have no time to loaf,
but I can spare a day off occasionally
better than my husband cau.
Respectfully yours,
Ex. Mrs. Jones.
Save the Bull Snake
The bullsnake keeps down the rattle
snake, lives on Held mice ard your g
gophers and is a blessing to the farmer.
Vet just because he is a snake the
hired man will stop his work, leave
his team where It may run away and
spend a lot of time killing the friend
of all Held crops. Whenever you see
one of those great big golden backed
snakes in front of your mower or disc
stop your team and hurry him out of
danger. Tire gopher is theatening
the alfalfa Helds of Nebraska because
the farmers have allowed the bull nake
bo be killed ou account of the general
prejudice against all reptiles.- Bel
grade Herald.
Swat tbe Fly.
A female fly will deposit 150 eggs
at o.ie laying. In warm weather the
eggs hatch in eight hours. In ten
days these young Hies are all full
grown, able bodied and ready to lay
more eggs, in killing tbe flrst fly
bow many later ones do you destroy?

Bbown-York v
k On Monthly of this week, June 30,
1913, Mr. Carl Brown and Miss Hattie
L. York, a 17-year-old girl, both pai
ties from Arcadia, came to Judge
Smith and had him unite them in
the bonds of hymen in his choicest
and most approved style. The moth
er of the young miss gave her consent
to the union.
Preventing Mosquitoes
The destruction of mosquitoes has
received considerable attention at the
hands of scientists. Eliminating
these pests is often simple.
First destroy all breeding places.
Where the rain water barrel and the
rain water tank are neccessary they
should be screened. About a house the j
waste places in the immediate vicinity
sliould be carefully searched for tin j
cans, wooden or tin boxes or other re- !
ceptacles in which water accumulates.
These should be destroyed or carried
away. Roof gutters should be exam
ined for pools of water. The chicken
pans in the poultry yard, the troughs
for domestic animals, and the water
cup of the grindstone are places where
mosquitoes will breed and water\
should not be allowed tostand in them
for more then a day at a time. Water
in flower vases should be looked after.
Mosquitoes will also breed in water,
pitchers in unused guest rooms, pipes
under stationery wash stands and
other unsuspected places. For ponds
and neccessary bodies of water the
larvae may be killed by the use of
crude oil which is allowed to spead
over the surface of the water. To
keep mosquitoes away at night mix an
ounce of oil of citronella and spirits of
camphor with a half ounce of oil of
cedar. A lew drops on a bath towel
hung at the head of the bed will usually
keep mosquitoes away.
Prize Poetic Pippins
The story is going the rounds tliat
the teacher in the public schools of j
one our neighboring towns decided
that the pupils of her department
must write an essay or poetic effusion
on various subjects. In compliance:
with this idea, she gave each one of J
her scholars some topic on which to .
write. One little fellow was given!
the subject of “birds” to hatch out in!
verse. The boy demurred, but tlie;
teac her insisting, he produced the I
following: j
A wonderful bird is the pelican
His bill holds more than his bellioan
Puts more fish in ids beak
Tlian will last him a week
And darned if I see how the helican.
Another boy being given the sut
ject of “India” also broke out in the
following soulful, sorrowful song:
The poor benighted Hindoo
He does the best he kin-doo
He sticks to hit caste
From first to last
And for pants he makes his skin-doo
Another little fellow given the!
subject of “Money,” that evening]
came home from school sobbing with
all his might, because his teacher had
whipped him. His father inquired
the trouble. He told his father
about the task assigned him and said:
“You know when I asked you last
night what a million dollars was and
you said it was a hell of a lot of
money? Well, that ain't the right
answer.”
Another young scion was given the
subject of “Vegetables” to work his
thinker on and evolved the follow ing:
There once was a lady named Perkins
Who dearly loved Heinz’s gherkins
She ate a whole quart
Which was more'n she ‘ort,
An it pickled her internal workin's.
The last heard of the teacher she
was the inmate of an insane asylum.
Aurora Mill Destroyed.
Aurora, Nebraska, June 2b.—The
large milling plant of the Aurora
Milling Company was totally destroy
ed by fire this evening shortly after b
o’clock. Adjoining warehouses, in
whnb wheat and dour were stored,
were saved after a hard battle. The
origin of the blaze is unknow n. It
started in the roof and had gained
good headway before the alarm was
: given.
i Tlie loss is given at $35,000, and it
| is thought to be insured for about 50
| per cent. W. H. Ferguson of Lincoln
i is one of the main owners of the
j. plant, which has been much improved
i within the past year, $b 000 having
been expended lately.

St.paul to help that club win a game
from Greeley, but failed to oonnect,
tl e score being 11 to 8 in favor of the
Irish. Coming home by auto, the
boys were caught in the soaking rain
