Every subscriber must understand that these conditions are made a part of the contract between publisher and subscriber. RETROSPECTIVE On the first day of January, 1904, eleven years and three months ago today, the retiring editor of the Northwestern came to Loup City and purchased this plant. At that time the office con sisted of two presses, a lot of • ante-dated material, a circulation of perhaps 200 papers, less than 50 inches of advertising, and dying of mental decay. Today the plant is supplied with all new and up-to date type, added model machinery, such as job presses, perforator, stapler, proof press, and labor saving materials of all kinds in profusion, with a circulation close to 1500, and with advertising averaging the past year between i 400 and 500 inches weekly, has arisen from an insignificant be ginning to a place among the best of the county seat papers in the state, during which period the writer has worked early and late for the betterment and upbuild of both city and county and now retires from the editorial chair, satisfied with what has been ac complished, and with his share in it all. even though with health somewhat impaired by reason of physical exhaustion and the strenuous mental activities of the psat years of control of the desti nies and upbuild of the paper. He has made mistakes. Who hasn’t? He has made enemies. Who hasn’t? He has at times fallen from the high ideals he had set out to achieve. Who is perfect? With all, he says “Good-bye” to North western -readers, with sincere re gret, but happy in the belief that the new pilots at the helm of the craft will guide it onward from its modest present into renewed fields and greater activities and possibilities. When he came here. Loup City numl>ered some 600 people. It now has a population estimated as exceeding 1500. Its sidewalks were entirely oi the loose board variety, necessitating the constant use of hammer and nails to keep them from being a menace to pe destrians. Now the city has miles of the finest cement walks with additions each succeeding year. Then there were but three brick business buildings and very few substantial homes. Now the city has perhaps a score or more of good brick stores, besides two fine brick bank structures, $20,000 up-to-date hotel, splendid $20,000 brick opera house, big cement block creamery, cement block postoffice, cement block disc sharp ener manufactory, a number of cement block store buildings, and hundreds of modern, up-to-date residences. The city has a splen did system of waterworks, with miles of mains with additions each year. It has a modern, 24-hour electric light system recently in stalled; a home-owned and capital ized Bell‘telephone system second to none in efficiency and service; a flouring mill running night and day, with extensive shipments of its products todistances; bigcream ery, the finest amusement park in the state, outside the larger cities; a prosperous and aggres sive commercial club; well reg ulated and governed city and school systems, splendid churches And the very best people on earth, with but few exceptions—and a eourt house. And now a few last words. The writer has disposed of the North western office, subscription books and good will to Messrs. V. L. Chipman and F. B. Hartman, both V from Lincoln, and both first class printers and newspaper men of years' experience in all branches of the business in city and country as well, and come to you with highest recommenda tions from those who know them best. That they will be accorded most substantia] welcome, the writer knows from his past expe rience, ami has every reason to believe Messrs.Chipman and Hart man will be well worthy the sup* port of the people and give them much better service and a much better pajjer than we have been able to do. And now, as editor of the Northwestern, and as one who has tried to serve you well in that capacity, we say good-bye. We lay down the duties with a sigh of regret, yet with a feeling of relief over shifting the respon sibilities to the sturdy shoulders of younger, more active, ambitious and undoubtedly abler men. We have only the kindliest feelings and best wishes for all, friend and roe. If at times we have been bitter, eruel or vindictive, we re gret it, as a failing of humanity. We have no enemies to punish nor greivanees to remember, but only memories of kindnesses to cherish. Good luck, good for tune and success to you all, and good-bye. .1. W. Burleigh. We come to Loup City with the handicap of being total strangers. We hope this disadvantage will be speedily overcome. We real ize that keeping the publication up to the standard established by Mr. Burleigh will be no light un dertaking, but we will at all times strive for the best interests of Loup City and Sherman county. We want all patrons of The North western to call on us and get ac quainted. The policy of the pa per will remain practically un changed. Improvements in the plant will be made as speedily as business conditions will warrant. We will appreciate the patronage of all and will try to justify a con tinuation and increase of the same by meritorious work and fair treatment. Thanking you in ad vance for your patronage, we are. Yours for service, Chipmax & Hartman, Publishers. April showers wash and clean old Mother Earth of Winter’s germs and impurities.

First Trust Company Loup City, - - - Nebraska HAPPY DESPITE THEIR °OVERTY, Residents of Sunny Seem Never to Repin*-. It is estimated that a qua- • r of a million people in Naples . re from hand to mouth, and there a. him deeds of children who subsist out ' the gar bage boxes, and who sleep -a churches tnd on doorsteps. The taxes in Italy to pro .\.'a war ships and o keep th; ’.ation on a war footing with the ot ,er powers are really stupendous. There is \< 'ax on everything, says the Detinea train In the field, fruit on the vine, ol t bot tles. Fuel and foodstuffs t very dear—only labor is cheap. Fi■: • e very poor, meat is a luxury unite o -d A su'd even macaroni is too dea: o b In dulged in often. There are ary num ber of perambulating street kitthms. where various kinds of soup, c ores and fruits are sold in portions costing one cent. And yet these people s em very happy. Hands of musicians are always playing in the streets; the guitar and the mandolin are to be heard everywhere—on the boats, in the hotels—and the stranger is lulled to sleep by a soft serenade thider his balcony. The story teller thrives in Naples, es there are so many idlers there. He collects a little crowd around him and proceeds in the most dramatic way, gesti lating wildly and working his face into the most excruciating ex pressiotis, to relate stories of ad venture or other events, much to the edifice-ion of his hearers, who, to show their appreciation, are often be trayed into giving a sou which might have been better spent for bread or polenta. T1 e public letter writer is another street dignitary of importance, and in great demand, especially with timid and buxom maids of all work, who have themselves neglected to learn the art of writing. Of such the public let ter writer holds all the secrets of their loves and is often their adviser 48 well as amanuensis. How Fast Wind Travels. Most people at some time oy other have used the expression "went like the wind.” wishing to convey the idea of extraordinary velocity. Coming down to actual figures, how ever, the wind is not such a speedy traveler after all, says tue Boston Transcript. The month of March more than any othej in the year has a windy record, so the figures supplied by the local weather bureau station for the month will do to illustrate the fallacy of the expression. From the first to the thirty-first the wind movement as registered at the top of the fijderiTI building was 8,336 miles, or an average of 278 miles a day for 30 days. Here is an overage of only lli/, miles an hour, a speed which even a slow moving freight steamer approaches. Attraction of Chess Problems. The mere player who has never ex perienced the magnetic attraction of; problems cannot fully realize the feel ing of joy and satisfaction from solv ing some masterpiece, the work of a famous There can be no ly from diagrams, is an intellectual amusement, and that the study of problems tends to accuracy of an alysis, quickens the perception, and strengthens the chess faculties gener ally, and may occasionally impart some of those sparkling ideas which are so sadly needed in ordinary play. —The Strand Magazine. The lesson which life repeats and constantly enforces is “look under foot.” You are always nearer the di vine and the true sources of power than you think. The lure of the dis tant and the difficult is deceptive. The great opportunity is where you ire. Do not despise your own place ind hour. Every pldce is under the Mars, every place is the center of the world.—John Burroughs in the Atlan tic. Authoress Who Hated Water. Mme. d’Arblay, better known as Miss Ftjjiny Burney, who took such an mportant place in the literature of he eighteenth century, had an ex .raordinary and most undesirable pe culiarity—she had the greatest aver sion to washing and water. Sir Henry Holland was the physician who at .ended the gifted authoress during 'he last year of her life and she con ided to him that'she had ret washqU or 15. vents. doubt problems, especial Look Under Foot.
