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.
If your property is not fully protected let us write
you a policy before it is too late. We represent the
very best companies doing business in the state
and the rate is low. Come in and talk it over.
