The Price of Cream
/ •
The dairymen of Loup City and vacinity are receiving the
highest price for their butterfat than they have ever received;
at this time of year.
Our competitors are pdying much lower prices in the sur
rounding towns that have no local creamery than they are
paying in Loup City. i
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 at 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 is 25 conts for butterfat delivered here.
We solicit your business.

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 perma
nency depends on them.
UP TO YOU. '
A Chautauqua pledge: I am going
to start today planning for our Chau
tauqua, which is only a few days off.<
Unless I talk it up, it won’t be a big
thing. It’ll be a fizzle. I must get
every man to want to go, as I do my
self. The best advertising the Chau
tauqua will get will by my own efforts
in swelling the crowd—in urging ev
eryone I know to "come along.” I
can make it the biggest event oar
town ha* known.
LACERENZA’S BAND
FROM SUNNY ITALY

gagements—Coming Here.
The Royal Italian Guards an
organization similar to the one that
toured Uie Redpath-Horner five-day
Chantanqna last summer, comes from
of NeV/ York, with SIgScr .
as director.
The Royal Italian Guards and Signor
Lacerenza have been over ‘he entire
seven-day circuit of the Redpath-Hor
ner Chautauquas two consecutive
years. They have filled many import
ant engagements in Italy and have
been accorded high honor&. They have
played at rcval command on several
state occasions. They have since that
time fllldd such notable engagement*
a* those at Lakewood Inn, Lakewood,
N. J., and Brighton Beach, New York.
Signor Lacerenza has been a band
master since he was ten years old,
when he was placed at the head of the
Boys' Musical College band in his na
tive town near Naples.
The band was organized by Victor
in Venice, four years ago, and this is
the fourth trip to America. Their
winter engagements have been almost
entirely in Europe. Three years ago
they made their first Chautauqua tour
and they have been in Chautauqua
work during the summers since that
time. They will come on the last
night of the Chautauqua and will be
made a big rTimax in this great mu
sical festival.
The band has been brought all the
way from Venice, in Italy, for this ten
weeks' Chautauqua engagement. It is
filling a series of seventy-six engage
ments in towns like ours—good, pros
perous towns in Kansas and Oklahoma.

CHAUTAUQUA
HIS Chautauqua
that you are to
have here this summer is a new
kind of Chautauqua.
What interest have you
in Greek mythology?
None.
But you ARE interested in
the business and social life of 1913—in the
vital issues that affect your well-being to
day and will affect it tomorrow.
And you need the inspira
tion of music that stirs every mite of en
thusiasm in you and that puts a new incen
tive into the work of every day.
Then you will like this Chau
tauqua-built on vastly new lines for the
man fighting TODAY'S struggles and fac

It is a grand, splendid pro
gram. You will be timid about getting into
the Chautauqua habit the first day. The
last night, you’ll be clamoring for seats
and wishing there were more Chautauqua
days to come.
Get started on the opening
day and you’ll be glad to have missed none of it.

SO A GUNBOAT WENT MAD
How the Spaniards Took Vengeance
on Moros Who Slew Swimming
Soldiers.
Capt. John E. Morris, who spent a
long, long time in the Philippines
chasing the Moro, tells a story about
a Spanish military governor in Jolo
who, in the peace of fanciey security,
allowed a whole flock of his soldiers
to go swimming one day.
Now, the Moro has a habit of going
juramatado when the camp meeting
variety of religion hits him. When a
Moro goes juramatado, he takes the
most disagreeable weapon he can find
and carves up the first Christian he
meets.
When the Moros saw the soldiers in
the water several of them thought it
was the very best time to gt> Juara
matado, with the result that those
soldiers never went swimming any
mcjEB. ; - — ■

The sultan who had charge of that
particular bunch of Moros^ promptly
was senffor. The Spaniard^wanted to
know why his men were slaughtered
in such manner.
“How could I help it?" the sultan
asked. “They went juramatado."
Nobody wants to interfere with any
body’s religion, of course, but there
was a Spanish gunboat lying around
loose in that immediate vicinity. The
governor sent for the commander of
the gunboat.
“You haven’t had much target prao
tic lately," he remarked to the naval
officer, “and you might try a little.
Now, a few Moros make fair targets.
When I want target practice to stop
I’ll run up a dag. But until the dag is
run up keep at it"
It was one glorious bombardment.
A lot of Moros accidentally got hit.
And somehow the post dag was mis
laid, so it couldn’t be hoisted.
It was a most excited sultan who
showed up before the Spaaieh govesw

nonsense he wouldn’t be a sultan any
longer, because he wouldn’t have any
subjects to sultan over. And be told
the governor so.
"How can I help It?” demanded the
governor with some heat “The fool
boat has gone JUramatado and 1 can't
interfere with the religion of the
blame navy.”—San Francisco Chroni
