Lou City Northwestern A LIVE NEWSPAPER PUBLISHED IN A LIVE TOWN VOLUME XXXIII LOUP CITY, NEBRASKA, THURSDAY, APRIL 13, 1915. ~ NUMBER 17 GEORGE ELUNGWOOD JOY IS GREETED BY LARGE CROWDS Noted School Worker and Social Ethics Lecturer Makes Decided Hit in Loup City. Owing to The Northwestern not being able to have a representa tive at the Joy meetings this week the following was written by L. V. Slocumb, pastor of the M. E. Church: As advertised, George Elling wood Joy, international lecturer on local ethics, child culture, etc., arrived in Loup City on Saturday evening. He gave his first lec ture on Sunday evening to a crowded house, in the Methodist church. The Baptist and Presby terian churches closed up shop and united forces with the Metho dists to make the campaign of equal benefit to all. On Sunday evening Mr. Joy spoke on “The Dawn of a Better Day.” To say that he knows his subjects is putting it very mildly. He not oniy knows what he is talk ing about, but is on fire with a passion to impart his knowledge to others. He is not dwelling on theory, but on a good first handed practical experience gained by a world-wide study of the problems j of youth and young manhood, in : the state of Nebraska alone. He! is now in Loup City engaged in the sixty-eighth campaign. On Monday afternoon he put in an hour at the high school with the boys of adolescent age. This part of the work is carried on every afternoon with from sixty to seventy-five boys. Monday evening he talked on “The Human Plant in the Home.” Tuesday evening “The bov problem as we face it. Some of the impressions we we received were: The greatest evil is the preverted mind. The greatest problem in child training is the parent. The false modesty of the parent with the chili. The false conceptions of the young man that in order to be at their best, they must respond to the call of the wild. The wrong system I of thinking, the system of think ing is proven by the product of that system. The dawn of a better day in a new thought life. Home is God's place for the training of the child. No woman can take the place j of the mother and no man can j take the father's place. Why send the child to the street to gain preverted knowledge when truth should be taught in the home. The mother’s greatest opportunity is in the first ten years; with the boy the father’s best work can be done from ten to twenty; the most opportune time centers around i sixteen; no such thing as total de pravity. Every boy however rough and uncouth and impudent, or however, much of his judgment may be at fault, has just under neath all of that, the silken moral fiber, that when turned to the highest purest thought, develops into the very highest principles of the nature manhood. Mr. Joy is one of the best public speakers that has appeared on a Loup Citv platform, llis vocabulary is un limited. His hold on the boys is unsurpassed. At the close of the second day in town, he knew almost every boy in the school by name, and can tell them all about them selves, and the ancestral tree, back to the third and fourth gener ation. His pardon the prodigal son as read by him, as a chapter taken from the book of every day life was unique in itself. His remedy for the preverted mind of the vouth i-< not to whip the im purities out of the stream, so much as it is to go up to the very foun tain head of the family and drive the beast out of the spring. There is Joy among the boys when they are in his presence. He has gained ti>e confidence of all, and he hits already started forces at work among both par ents and boys that will never cease to do good. The Precinct Assessor. Blanks for the compilation of t lie farm statistics for 1915 are now in the hands of the precinct assessors, These officials are re quired by law to collect the data, and report it to the county assess or who compiles and transmits it to the county clerk. The county clerk returne the same to the state board of agriculture. At the office of the state board of agriculture the returns from the counties are collected and pub lished. These statistics advertise to the world the resources of the state. The books containing the figures are furnished to banks, trust companies, farm loan con cern and all the big insurance com panies besides being sent to the uewspaper offices and to the farm ers and business men. It is extremely important that the farmers and the precinct as sessors return exact and truthful estimates this year. Loan con cerns are looking for the best farming sections and all the data has an important influence in many ways. The figures on acreage of the big crops aid in heading off — — — I ! "‘bear' movements by the. specu lators who seek to depress prices i by reports of exaggerated crops. Then when the market is cornered they start wild tales of crop fail ures to influence the price in the opposite direction. With truthful estimates on file, the state board of agriculture is in position to kill these wild rumors. The newspapers state the facts j and the farmer is in position to know the exact crop conditions in his own and other states. The brokers hire men to canvass the situation in the various states and wire in reports. Against this sys tem the farmer has no protection except through the work of the boardof agriculture which is labor ing to better conditions in the Yural sections throughout the state. But the really vital link in the whole system is the precinct as sessor. Few i>eop!e understand how important is the work of this official or how closely his task is linked with the reputation of the • state for prosperity and progres I siveness. Sim W atson came up from I Aurora Wednesday evening. The Old Adage “Don’t lock the barn after the horse is stolen” applies to insurance as well as to other things March, April, May, June and July are months when windstorms and tornadoes are most destructive.
