VOLUME XXXIII LOUP CITY, NEBRASKA, THURSDAY. October, 8lh 1914._ NUMBER 42
AMBITION WILL
! WIN A MAXWELL
\ -
Big Opening and Special Starting Offer Made in This Issue. Five Minute:
Reading Will Thoroughly Inform You All Questions Cheerfully Answered
START EARLY IT LASTS ORLY EIGHT WEEKS.
The bars are down, the way is
clear. Realization need nci longer
make way for anticipation. You
have long wished for an automo
bile, and if you don’t have one
within the next eight weeks with
out cost to you, it is so'sly your
own fault. If your desire is
equalled by your ambition, and
you will dovote only a part of
your time to The Northwestern’s
exceptional order, you can have
one of the most dependable cars
made. The offer lasts only eight
weeks and you can surely see the
advantage in an early start with
out referring to the old adage of
of the “early bird.”
What? You say there will lie
others? Certainly! But this is
where self confidence plays the
winning hand. Believe in your
self and you will win. There is a
law which gives you the things
you want, if your whole soul is in
the matter. “Ask and you shall
receive.”
Considering that there is an ele
ment of chance, you are absolute
ly assured of pay for your time by
our offer to pay ten per cent cash
commission to all contestants who
fail to win a prize and who make
a cash report each week. Could
you ask for a more liberal offer?
Surely not. The manner in which
votes will be issued and how to
start is explained in an advertise
ment on another page in this issue.
Read it over, and if there are
still some things you do not under
stand, just call up phone red 138,
and you will receive an explana
tion of anything you do not under
stand.
Special Prize Offer
A set of silver knives and forks
will be given to the contestant
who turns in the most money on
subscriptions up to and inclusive
of Wednesday, Oct., 21, 6 p. m.
Mail reports bearing a post mark
of the town from where mailed on
or before the above mentioned
date will count in on this special
prize offer. This offer does not
interfere in any way with the is
suing of votes.
The Prizes
In selecting our prizes, we have
endeavored to pick out the things
which are of interest to everyone.
You will agree with us in saying
we.did well in selecting a 1915
fully equipped electric lighted and
electric started five passenger
MAXWELL. In addition to this
we have purchased a better finish
ed car than the regular stock car
at a greater cost. We have been
fortunate in securing an elegantly
finished show car which has just
double the number of finishing
applications, applied to the regu
lar stock car. This insures a more
lasting luster. So you see that
whoever gets this prize car will
have a better car than can be
bought a little later on. The
MAXWELL has well been called
the Monarch of ail medium priced
cars. The fine thing about the
MAXWELL is the fact that it
“takes you there” quickly and
comfortably. There is no hill too
steep or no sand too deep for the
justly famous MAXWELL.
In selecting a $100 list value
diamond as second prize we feel
that we have chosen a gift which
will not only be a source of pride
to the winner, but a prize which
will always have an increasing
cash value, a prize upon which
cash may be realized in needful
times.
A business college scholarship
_HUH
or a phonograph will be given a;
third prize.
For the last two prizes we have
decided to give two high grade
watches, and the winners may
have their choice of either Elgin
or Waltham movements. A watch
is your most valuable piece of
personal property, and it is well
known that you may question a
man's politics, his religion, or his
antecedants, and not have a fight
on your hands but when you ques
tion the veracity of his time piece,
you have “started something.”
Five prizes in all make a truly
generous list of gifts, but it must
be remembered that we have not
stopped here. Theeohtest is go
ing to last only the short period
of eight weeks, and still we are
going to give a cash commission
of ten per cent to any contestants
who fail to win a pri^e and who
make a cash report each week
from start to finish. This makes
it impossible for any one to lose a
penny no mutter how much time
they put in.
Fob Men Too
Our contest is not for women
oply, but memare eligible as well.
When you figure it. down to a
business basis, you. can see .that
any man can well afford to enter
the contest, for the winner of the
car will be getting the same as
about $125 per week for their
time while the winners of the
smaller prizes will be getting well
well paid. The commission offer
protects one and all who enter.
Details
It is almost impossible to give
the details of a proposition like
this so that everyone will under
stand them, and we want every
one to feel at liberty to call at the
Northwestern office at once and
interview the Contest Manager
about the things they do not un
derstand. If it is impossible for
you to call at the Northwestern
office, call phone red 138 and ask
for contest manager, or address
The Contest Department of The
Nortiiwesten, Loup City, Nebr.
Neceseary working supplies
will be gladly sent out upon re
quest. *

YOUNG MAN HAS
BAD ACCIDENT
/
Thrown From Mowing Moehmo Losoa
1 Two Fingers.
OTHERWISE BADLY BMISED.
\ _
Last Saturday forenoon Fred
Trimble of North Loup, aged 22
years, son of Mr. and Mrs. Clif
ford Trimble, was mowing on his
father’s ranch in the hills a few
miles this side of North Loup,
Something went wrong with the
1 harness and he went around in
front of the sickle bar to fix it. In
doing so the horse was frightened
and kicked the young man and
then the team started to run.
On account of the kick the
young man was unable to avoid
the sickle bar and was caught by
it and dragged for some distance,
his clothes being engaged in the
sickle guards.
Fortunately the clothing tore,
or was cut loose after some dis
tance of frightful travelin, and the
young man was able to gather
himself together and try to save
himself. He found that two fin
gers were cut off and of course
knew that he was otherwise in
jured, but how badly he knew
not. He realized, however, that
his first necessity was to get where
help could be rendered before the
loss of blood caused him to fall.
He hastened homeward as fast as
possible and soon reached a hired
man who took him home with all
possible haste
Though the loss of blood was
serious he stood the shock till
surgical aid could be procured,
and the imminent danger was
passed.
The most serious item of the
young man‘s injuries was the loss
of two fingers and the consequent
bleeding, but he is considerably
bruised in adition.
His mother advises us this
morning that he is rearing well
and is doing all right, considering
the nature of his injuries.—Ord

Rev. F. W. Guth, German
minister here, received a letter
from his good mother, Tuesday
evenieg, who lives in Illinois, ad
vising him of the receipt of a let
ter from Seltus, Germany1, with
the sad information of the loss of
twenty-two of his cousins so far
in the great ^ar in which Ger
many is practically fighting for
her national life in the far east.
Thus the wholesale cpurderof men
in the far east comes home to our
people with sad intensity. In
every town and county in our
country, perhaps, comes the sad
intelligence of loss of relatives in
the greatest war ever in history,
and the end of the conflict is far
in the future. Just think of it.
Only two months of the great
conflict has been on and already
the people of this country from
ocean to ocean are in mourning
over the loss of friends and rela
tives in the various countries en
gaged in war. What can we think
of the future, if it continues yenrs,
which is predicted will be the
case?

wife’s mother of Omaha returned

many of our people as possible
will meet and join the party when
it reaches the'first point in this
county and accompany on the
automobile trip through the coun

the next county will bear the
above notice in mind, and it is

Think Harvard Murderer
is a Notorious Forger
Latest reports from various
cities of the state indicate that the
Harvard murderer and suicide had
been engaged in the work of se
curing blank checks from the of*
fices of grain and lumber com
panies and afterward forging and
passing them. At Milford and
Lincoln checks were stolen and at
Lincoln some of them were passed
at business houses. It is now be
leived the man was a smooth forg
er and that he may have been sur
prised by Mr. Trout at the Har
vard elevator early in the morn
ing while at work on the safe and
that the murder followed an at
tempt of the manager to prevent
his escape. Various numbered
checks were found in the bandit’s
suit case by county attorney Corey
and it is said one of the checks
was made out ready to negotiate.
With new evidence accumulating
daily the identity of the man may
yet be learned.—Aurora Sun.

Have You Seen
Delavan’s Comet
Delavan’s comet is now a con
spicuous object, and be so through
out October. At the present time
it is so far north that it.just graz
es the northern horizen at about
10:30 p. m., and is visifefo both in
the evening low down and a little
west of north, and in the morning
higher up and in the northeast. It
appears to the eye fully a» bright
as a magnitude star, and has a
tail several degrees in length.
Though the comet appears fairly
near the sun in the heavens it is
actually* far behind it. Its nearest
approach to the earth was on Oct.
5th, but it was fully 145 million
miles distant,-and by the end of
October-it will be 169 million miles
distant. It’s tail, which is direct
ed away from $he sun, points
away from us, so that we see it
very much fore-shortened, which
accounts for its apparent short
ness. Though less conspicuous to
the eye than some recent comets,
notably Halley’s, this is really s
bigger affair. Had it coma as
near to the sun and to us as Hal
ley’s comet did, it would have ap
peared fully one hundred times as
bright as it does now and would
have rivaled Jnpiter in splendor,
Even in its present remote orbit,
it will remain easily visible to the
naked eye until the middle or end
of November,—X.

GREAT EARTHQUAKE IR TURKEY.
The situation in Europe varies
little from what it was last week.
It would seem that the Germans
are gaining some ground, as the
French admit, but the British
bulldog still snarls and showg his
teeth and will not admit it. How
ever, from dispatches received,
over 200,000 men of the allied
powers are prsioners in camps of
their foes.
Apparently, the attempt of the
allies is with intent of crushing
the German right wing and if pos
sible bring to and end this con
test which for magnitude and
stubbornness is without precedent
in history. On the eastern fron
tier, the Russians seem to lead,
the failure of the Austrians put
ting the Rusian army into import
ant advantage on the frontier.
The usual reports are afloat on
either side to the effect that fear
ful atrocities are being committed
