The agitation for a new loca tion for the new $30,000 school j house has resulted in the school board calling a spec*] election on August 16th to settle the question. Two sites will be up foreonsidera tion. One is the old site, wher by the building would have to be stuck in a corner and the other is a full block, numbered block one, in the original town ofLoupCity, located three blocks east of the court house. The board has an option on this lot for $‘J,7o<>. which is considered a reasonable price, and is an ideal location for the new school building. Remember, the election is to be held on Monday, August 16th, at the primary room east of the court house. Everybody should vote, and if either proposition does not carry necessary majority, another election will have to be called. It is believed that the sentiment is almost unanimous in favor of the new location. Much time and expense will be saved by deciding the location question at this election, so all. interested should vote. An early date was i decided upon, so that work on the building could be commenced as soon as possible. Coming, to the opera house! Friday and Saturday nights,”The M usical Milos." All the jatpular rags and songs. Good, clean comedy. Five acts—special scene ry. Don't miss this treat.

Swedish Church The pastor will preach Sunday morning at 11:15 and Sunday (4-ening at 8. The Sunday school will meet at 10:30. Good song service at all these meetings. Come and bring your friends with I you,—Rev. Teodore Young. MAY MAKE CHANCE. There is some agitation along the Sargent branch of the Burlington to change the time of the passen ger so that it will go east in the evening and connect with number •44 at Aurora rnd then return in the morning connecting with 43. This move it is argued would give them much better mail service, al lowing the daily papers to get out on the rural routes while the news was still fresh. In case a man had business in Omaha or Lincoln such a time schedule would save him at least a day. In case me schedule is changed they would probably lose their present day train but it is thought that the freight could handle the local work. HARVEST CARNIVAL TODAY. Today at .Tenner's park the an nual "Harvest Festival'’ is in full swing. Probably the most inter esting event will be the ball game between the Arcadia and Rockville teams. Both of these teams play good, clean ball and have made ex cellent records this season. A tug of war between horses and men will also lie an interesting feature—as also will lie the tug of war between the "wets” and "drys.’" Some good vaudeville stunts are promised. Races for boys and girls and many other amusements. The day will close with a big display of fireworks and a dance in the pavilion. The park is in excellent shape again, several weeks of iiaid work being necessary to put it back into shajie after the flood damaged it so much about a month ugo. The park is illuminated at night by hundreds of colored electric lights, and is a beautiful sight. , BOOST FOR THE BAND. The Loup City band received a substantial boost at the meeting of the city council last week. The council made a one mill levy for that purpose, which will bring in about S237. The band was just recently re-organized and with this financial aid it will continue to improve and flourish. Several years ago this town had one of the best bands in the state and it will not be long until the present band will be up to the old standard. The city council is to be com mended for the action they have taken in this matter. It is thought that concerts can soon be arranged to be held in the park, as the band boys appreciate the consideration that haa been shown them. MANY ATTEND SHOW. Barnum & Bailey’s hig circus delighted thousands at Grind Is land Monday. It was a good cir cus day, cloudy and cool. Among the Loup City people attending the show were the following: Cliff Rowe, Clayton Conger, Byard Mills, France^ Spencer, Edward Sharp. Karl and Theodore Gas teyer, W. O. Brown and son Cor nell, William Mcllravy, T. H. Daddow.wife and daugnter,Grace, Peter Thode and family, Mrs. M innie Jung and daughter Helma, Miss Lizzie Miller, and R. P.Starr and son Howard. Loup City Flour Is Guaranteed. MADE EXTRA TRIP. The Union Pacific motor re turned to St. Paul Monday even ing where it met a special from Grand Island, which had brought up a number of Loup City people who had attended the circus at Grand Island that day. If the Union Pacific would have adver tised a special returning from Grand Island after the circus, a large number of people would have attended the show. As it was everyone thought that they would have to remain in Grand Is land until the nevt day. so not many went down. The motor was I sent down to St. Paid to meet the i special upon the request of Loup j City people who wanted to get ! home that night, and demonstrates that the road is willing to please j its patrons, though they would have taken in a great many more | dollars if the special had been j properly advertised. FLYING MACHINE AT FAIR. The latest attraction being ar ranged for by the county fair management is a flying machine, to be here two days of the fair. The machine is the property of the government and is <>i>erated by the aviation department or the state militia stationed at Lincoln. Flights will be made in the ma chine both days. While the ar rangements for this attraction have not been completed as yet, we believe that the contract will be made to have the flying mac hine here- the two days. The county fair promises to be a hum mer this year and should be at tended by everybody in the eoun-! ty. The Ijoup City band has boon : engaged to furnish music. The j fair books have been printed and will be ready for distribution with in a few days. LOCAL AND PERSONAL. Mrs. F.B.

GENERAL REPORT OF NEBRASKA CROPS Rains and Hail Storms Have Caused Heavy Damage to the Wheat Fields—Second Cutting of Alfalfa Now Under Way—Big Crop of Hay. Tiie state board of agriculture lias issued the following statement of crop conditions in Nebraska: “W heat—Continuous rains through the month of July have) caused no end oftronble ingather ing the wheat throughout the state. In many places the funn els are just finishing cutting their fields. In a few instances threshing lias occured in the ■southern part of the state, and the vield so far reported runs about 26 to 40 bushels per acre. Near ly all of tin* wheat is still in shock and a great deal of it will begin to sprout unless a few days of fine weather intervenes so the farmers can stack. Oats—The oats in the southern part of the state are all harvested, with very few exceptions, while the harvesting is being actively pushed in the northern part. Rust attacked the fields in the southeastern part of the state and has materially lessened the cron in that vicinity. The reports from the north and west parts of the state, outside the hail damage, are for an excellent yield. Harvest ing is fully two weeks later than usual. “Corn—Continuous rains have prevented many farmers from properly cultivating their fields uf corn, hence the height of the corn is materially decreased from chat of former years, but the warm weather is causing very rapid growth where the fields have been properly cultivated. The tassel i»n the corn is just beginning to I show in many of the better fields. From present indications, with a normal condition of weather pre vailing from now until corn ripen ing time, Nebraska should have over 150,000,000 bushels. “Alfalfa—The second cutting of alfalfa has been done with many attending difficulties on account of the continuous rain, and very little, if any, bright alfalfa will result from tliis cutting. However it is now largely in stack with a tine third crop coming. “Hay—Nebraska will provide the most bountiful crop of hay ever had in the state, and the pas tures are the best ever seen at this date. “Potatoes—Potatoes and other vegetables are having a tre mendous growth and are uncom monly large for this time of year." A RECORD BREAKER. July broke all records for rainy days this year. On nineteen days of the thirty-one rain tell and the total precipitation for the month, as recorded by the First National bank rain gauge, was 6.22 inches. July, 1915, was also the coolest July for many years, with one ex ception. The month of August also started in well as regarding rain, nearly an inch of water fall ing on the first two days of the month, HORSE BORROWED. L. W. Schlote was a very angry man Sunday morning. Some time during the night somebody took a horse from his barn and drove it all night, returning it in the early hours in the morning. The horse had been driven hard and was in an exhausted condition. Mr. Schlote believes he knows who the guilty party is, and promises him a warm reception if ever caught taking horses out of the bam again. SPECIAL PRIZES BY LOUP CITY MILL & LIGHT CO.
