THOMAS DADDOW
WILL HARNESS
THE LOUP
As stated in these columns some
time ago the Commercial Club ex
pected to have here Dean Stout of
the engineering college to talk
about the power possibilities of
the North Loup river. The dean
has given the rivers of Nebraska
much study and is in a position to
tell things worth knowing.
We are pleased to state today
that he has consented to come, to
Ord tomorrow as the guest of the
Club and will speak in the evening
at the Bobemiam hall on the theme
of the possible power of the North
Loup river.
He will arrive on an early train
and will make a local examination
of the proposition before the even
ing address.
The wonderful power going to
waste by our city may be made use
of and it is expected that the dean
will tell us how it may be done.
No greater thing could come to
Ord than to have the power of the
North Loup utilzed.
The meeting is free, and it is
hoped that there will be a large
audience of men and women to
hear him.—Ord Quiz.

780 Pound Hog
Some Hog, Eh?
All records of heavy hogs bought
by Fred Cram were broken Mon
day when Roy Sweet, one of the
substantial farmers and stockman,
living six miles north of this city,
brought in a porker that tipped
the beam of the scale at 780 pounds.
This is the heaviest hog that Mr.
Cram has bought during his ten
years experience as a buyer. The
pdrket was not overly fat and
could get around as easily as a
shoat. Mr. Sweet received near
ly fifty dollars for the animal.
There are many horses in this
neighborhood that perhaps do not
weigh that much and by compari
son it can best be comprehended
what the size of this porker must
be to weigh that enormous weight.

Ask Modification
of “Blue Sky” Law
Among resolutions adopted by
the Nebraska Farmers’ Co-opera
tive association at its annual meet
ing in Omaha last week was one
asking for a modification of ;he
“Blue Sky” law, passed by the
legislature at its last session. The
resolution stated that the law was
unsatisfactory in it application and
materially handicapped the co
operators. Another change n
existing laws was one which would
permit issuance of stock in $10
shares, which is now prohibited.
The Association had the largest
attendance in its history. Three
hundred and fifty members were
present, representing more than
one hundred Farmers’ Co-opera
tive Associations in the state. J.
S. Canaday of Minden was re
elected president, and J. W. Short
hill of Hampton was again select
ed as secretary. O. G. Smith of
Kearney was elected on the exe
cutive committee.

DEMOCRATIC OLD SEA DOG
According to Dewey, Admiral Parra*
gut Was by No Means a 8trlct
Disciplinarian.
Admiral Farragut’s methods were al
ways simple. There was a saying that
his principal place for filing papers
was his coat pocket. Generally he
wrote hie orders himself, perhaps with
his knee or the ship's rail a" a rest.
Admiral Dewey in his autobiography
recalls that one day when Farragut
was writing he looked np and said:
"Now, how in the devil do you spell
Appalachicola? Some of these edu
cated young fellows from Annapolis
must know. ” Dewey adds: “A man
who had such an important command
could hardly have been more demo
cratic. One night I had given orders
for a thorough cleaning of the ship the
next morning. I was awake early, for
it was stifling hot. Five o'clock came
and I heard no sound of the holy
stones on the deck.
"So I went above to find out why
my orders were not obeyed and my
frame of mind for the moment was
entirely that of the disciplinarian.
There was no activity at all on deck
I looked around for the officer of the
deck. He was an old New England
whaler, brown as a buccaneer, who
had enlisted for the war from the mer
chant service. I recollect that he wore
small gold rings in his ears, a custom
with some of the old-fashioned mer
chant sailors who had traveled the
world over. I found him seated up in
the hammock netting where it was
cool, with Farragut at his side.
“*Why aren’t you cleaning ship?’ 1
asked. ‘I think I am to blame.’ said
Farragut with his pleasant Bmile. ‘We
two veterans have been swapping
yarns about sailing-ship days.' The old
whaler did not see how he could leave
Farragut when Farragut wanted to
talk and inwardly, perhaps, he did not
fail to enjoy his position as superior !
to the young executive officer’s re
primands.”
‘FATHER’ AND ‘MOTHER’ BEST
No Other Name* for Parents Carry
the Same Deep Meaning of
Reverent Love.
“Father" and “mother" are difficult
words to improve upon when one
thinks of the associations they convey,
and the dignity of their meaning, re
marks London Answers.
Many, however, have been the off
shoots of these appellations. “Papa”
and “mamma" have been in use in
England for at least three centuries,
and it is generally accepted that they
are of Italian origin, as Dante uses
the word “mamma” in the Purgatorio.
Among middle class folk “dad” or
"daddy” is a favorite nickname. “Dad”
is of pure Welsh extraction, and is de
rived from, or is a corruption of, the
word “tad.”
“Pater”«and “mater” make their ap
pearance when students are in the
throes of Latin grammar. “Poppa”
and “momma” have appealed to the
young American.
None of these nicknames, or terms
of endearment, can, however, approach
the beautiful Anglo-Saxon definition of
parents—“father” and “mother,” and it
is these terms that one clings to when
childhood’s days are over.
Jewel in a Serpent’s Head.

Comparison With Cave Man.
Everything considered, it is possible
hat the cave-man had an advantage
over us. For though his words were
few in number he had few ideas to
voice, few thoughts to express, few ac
.ivities to advarfce, and these were all
of such a nature that his grunt was
encyclopaedic in its ability to explain.
On the other hand, life is now so com
lex that with all our words, inflec
ons. accents, mimicry, postures and
enures we are often unable to make
r meaning perfectly clear.
Clearly Insane.
Brian was quite unaccustomed to
the ways of society, but he had ob
tained a very good post as footman.
The morning after taking up bis
duties his lordship rang for him and
told him to ask her ladyship if she
was “at horn;.” “She is, sor,” said
Brian; "she’s just gone into the draw
ing-room.” “Please do what I ask,”
said his lordship. Brian went timid

please, your ladyship, his lordship
wants to know if you’re at home”
•Vo. tell him; not today.” “Bedad!”
said Brian, “they’ra both mad."
