Tho Price of Cream
The dairymen of Loup City and vaeinity are receiving the
highest price for their butter fat than they have ever received
at this time of year.
Our competitors are paying much lower prices in the sur
rounding towns that have no local creamery than they are
paying in Loup City.
|
To prove this absolutely , just call up Ashton, Rockville,
Arcadia, Litchfield, Hazard or any of the nearby towns and
satisfy yourself with regard to this price businesc.
We are the cause of these splendid prices you are receiv
ing for cream ac Loup City, and if there was no Creamery in
Loup, you would be receiving the same price as the dairyman
are receiving at the surrounding towns.
Patronize the local creamery because it furnishes you with
the highest cash market, pays the same price to everybody
and gives you a square deal every day in the year.
Our price this week ii 26 cents for butterfat delivered here.
We solicit your business.

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, sound,
logical argument to convince you that aD 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.
4. The type is so protected that it is not battered
by collision.
7. One motion of the band 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.
10. It is built for service.

ITALIAN BAND
TO PLAY HERE
Coming All the Way from Eu
rope to Fill Chautauqua
Engagement.
LACERENZA, GREAT DIRECTOR.
A* a Soy, He was Leader of the Musi
cal College Band—He Studied in
Naples—Has Filled Many Notable
Engage-merits.
The coming of the Royal Italian
Guards Band to this city, Chautauqua
Week, is an event of interest to c very
lone who loves the music of a good
| band.
The Royal Italian Guards toured the
territory of the Redpath-Horner Chau
tauquas last summer, and have been
brought back this summer at the re
quest of thousands of Chautauqua
patrons throughout the Middle West.
They have been in Europe all winter
and came back for this tour about the
middle of May .
The baud was organized by Victor,
the celebrated baud man, in Venice,
three years ago, and this is their third
trip to America. They made a Chau
tauqua tour through the East two
years ago.
Their winter engagements hare
been in Europe, where they have
scored many notable successes.
They have played at Royal Com
mand on several state occasions, an
honor second to none over in sunny
Itaiy.
The director of the Royal Italian j
Guards is Signor Lacerenza, and of j
Signor Lacerenza, Mr. Victor writes j
as fellows:
“Signor Lacerenza was at the age i
of ten when he was placed in the
Coys’ Musical College of his native
town near Naples.
Signor Lacerenza
"It was not long before he devel- I
oped his musical genius, and during a '
local anniversary celebration in the j
town hall, the well known Neapolitan
Concert Baud of seventy-ftve musicians
vra3 engaged to do honor to the feasL
Ono of the main attractions at the
town hall that night was the first ap
pearance of the Boys’ Musical College i
Band. The now famous Lacerenza
was then what was known as the head
master cf his class, and was recog
nized as the boy leader.
The Talk of the Evening.
“It was net the music rendered, or
the select program that was the talk
of the evening, but the appearance of
this youngster on the leader platform,
to open the first part of the evening’s
program.
“The house was wild with enthus
iasm. The entire population, number
ing a few thousand, began talking
about the boy leader. Finaly when
the leader of the big band heard of it,
he expressed his desire of wanting to
meet this wonderful boy. Following
the meeting, it was not long before he
discovered his musical ability, and he
made him an offer to take him to
Naples, and under his directorship
Inish the course. Lacerenza, the boy
conductor, went with him.
“At the age of twenty years, ac
cording to the laws of the Italian gov
ernment, he was compelled to join
the army, and at once joined the regi
mental crack band, the 22nA Infantry,
as chief trumpeter. Two years later
he was appointed the master of the i
band, an honor that very few
achieved.
"It was at the time of the annual
fall tour of the band that I met Sig
nor Lacerenza, in Milan. Later the
Royal Italian Guards were organized
with Signor Lacerenza as director.
“I regard him as one of the greatest !
bandmasters we have today.”
SEASON TICKET PLAN-BEST.
You may go to the Chautauqua with
a season ticket, or a single admission
ticket you buy at the gate. On the
season ticket plan the cost is about
half of what it is on the other plan.
The season ticket may be used by any
member of the family.. Besides, the
community’s interest in a Chautauqua
Is measured largely by the season
ticket sales. The Chautauqua’s pen*
manency depends on the&
Obeyed Orders.

“Man is never satisfied.”
"I guess you are right."
“Penwiddie used to say if he could

“And now?"

Chautauqua
is the one-week of the year. It is a great show place where folks see much and hear more.
It is the summer university of the people with all the hard grind left out and a lot of fun
stuck in its place. A mental and physical playground where minds grow and develop and
bodies relax. It is for everybody. It is the people’s forum where the interests of every man
are given full consideration and a fair, square deal. Not only the most American thing in
America, as some bright man has said, but the most intellectual thing offering amusement
and joyful entertainment with no stiffness and no starch. Just congenial, neighborly, inspir
ing association. (Copyright by Redpath-Horner.)
HAD A GREAT MEMORY
REMARKABLE GIFT OF A PRESBY
TERIAN MINISTER.
Became a Living Concordance to the
Bible and Could Give Chapter
and Verse for Any Passage
Recited to Him.
Of the many examples of prodigious
memories which have recorded from
time to time none, perhaps, have been
so remarkable as the case of. Rev.
Thomas Threlkeld, who was a Presby
terian minister at Rochdale for twen
ty-eight years, and died there in April.
1806, at the age of 67. Threlkeld's
memory first attracted attention when
he attended the grammar school at
Daventry. where he began to make a
close study of the Bible. When a pas
sage was recited to him he could im
mediately give it, chapter and verse
and, on the other hand, if a chapter
and verse were given he could at once
repeat the passage.
Both at Davehtry and Warrington,
where he went to finish hi3 education,
his fellow students delighted in put
ting his memory to the test, and nev
er cnce was it known to be at fault.
“In later years,” says Mr. Frank
Hird, in “Lancashire StorieB,” "Threl
keld was looked upon as a living con
cordance to the Bible in Rochdale and
the neighborhood, and he was con
stantly asked the most puzzling ques
tions by his brother ministers, some
times actually for information, but
generally for mere amusement. He
was never known to be wrong.”
Threlkeld's powers of memory, how
ever, were nut solely concerned with
theology. He was also a linguist, and
knew nine or ten languages, while
dates were a passion with him, no
matter how unimportant. His knowl
edge of historical dates, of chronology,
heraldry and genealogy was cyclapae
dlc, and one of his favorite amuse
ments was to go through the succes
sion in the Episcopal Sees and trace
the pedigrees of families.
“In only one direction,” continues
Mr. Hird, “would this wonderful mem
ory eeem to have been of direct serv
ice. Threlkeld was one of the man
agers of a fund for the benefit of the
^widows of Presbytejian ministers, and
consequently was frequently appealed
to on circumstances connected with
the lives of dead ministers, and such
was the opinion of his memory that If
the books had been consulted and had
been reported differently the error
would have been imputed to the sec
retary and not to Mr. Threlkeld’s
memory This was deemed infallible.

Nature’s Silent Power.
Calamities! If any state in the
Union had had an earthquake or fire
causing a loss of from $20,000,000 to_
$40,000,000 we should have stood
aghast. But the recent extraordinary
cold snap in the citrus fruit bait of
California ia reported to have ruined
. almost four-fifths of the orange and
lemon crops. The estimated damage
is put by some as high as $40,000,000,
of which between $5,000,000 and $8,
000,000 will be a loss to railroads in
curtailed freight receipts. Nature ex
erts its destructive forces In many
ways, sometimes with the violence of
an earthquake, and at others with the
silent, sweeping, icy -hand of the Frost
King. California has suffered in re*
cent years from both visitations. But
its wonderful natural advantages, its
wealth of resources, and, above all. ,
its self-reliant people, may always be
depended npon to lift it above every
adversity. But hasn’t it had Its share
for the present?—Leslie’s.
