I_HEROES IN EVERYDAY LIFE j
BAD ACCIDENT
The Standard Oil Company lo-t
two mules in a peculiar manner
at the hill just south of Schaupps
Monday. Ike Keith was driving
a double span of mules to the oil
wagon, and g< ing down the hill
the lead animals got to lighting and
at a sharp turn in the road dragged
[the whole outfit off the road into a
i -mall ditch. There was a small
amount of water in the ditch and
the lead team went down into the
water with the other mules on top
| of them. Before Mr. Keith could
I get the mules out, two of them
! drowned. The scene of the
accident was close to the place
where the company lost a mule
several months ago by the wagon
tongue breaking and being driven
through the at imal. It is a bad
piece of road and has been the
scene of many accidents.
IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE.
We have not been able to veri
fy the statement, but report has it
on the streets here that Tunberg
<V Reetz of Ht»oi»er. Nebraska, are
about to cut a nice melon in the
sha[te of S4.*>.<HK> in exce-,- com
missions. that i- commissions re
ceived over and above the regular
commission for selling Buick ears
above a stipulated numiier. Tiiis
firm received one shipment of.
twenty car loads of Buicks a few
weeks ago—the largest single -hi jh
ment ever made in tiie state to a
dealer in a town the size of
Hoojier. Tunlterg <£ Reetz are
real hustlers and believe in the
use of printer's ink. They never
carry less than a quarter page ad
In their local pajier and frequent
ly have a page and l»esides this,
use a vast amount of circular
letters, pamphlets, etc. Their
printing bill- would stagger -ome
business men but then Slb.ooo ex
cess commissions will pay all their
printing bills and leave a nice
little balance besides. You don't
have to tell those fellows that it
pays to advertise. They know it.

A QUIET ELECTION
—
The vote was almost unanimous for
the newodte for the new high school
building.attheelectic.il held Monday.
It was necessary to call an election
to determine which site to build on.
as the question was not brought up
when the bonds were voted. As the
board had no say in the matter, the
election was called and now the ques
tion is definitely settled. 251 votes
were cast. 211 for the new site and 40
for the old one.
In the arguments we have heard
upon the streets for and against the
new school building, we have heard
several men say that Loup City would
never have a $50,000 school building,
i and if she did they would dig the
i basement free of charge. As the
building is now assured, the question
is. w ill these men dig the basement?
The new building has lieen greatly
needed for several years, and as the
I site question lias been settled, work
i on the new building will be started
i soon.

8 to 5 o’clock ot two hours longer
than at most other points. W’e wish to
give customers the best of service and
feel that we can do so by closing at 5
instead of 6 P. M.. thereby giving us

MRS. G. H HASTINGS
Died at her home in Arcadia.
Tuesday evening at 6 o'clock. Mr^.
G. H. Hast ngs, age I 64 years, 6
months, and seven days.
Seldom has it been our duty to
record so sudden a death. A
gloom spread over the whole com
munity when it was learned Tues
day that this kind mother and
good friend was «rone.
After a long and useful life she
died as she had lived in the hearts
of all who knew her. Her life
was completed if work all done and
well done constitutes completion.
< >ur little city and its jieople ever
held a warm corner in her heart.
lii the death of Mrs. Hastings
we fully and keenly realize our
loss. >he was a true friend, and
her devotion to those slie loved
would make a bright chapter in
any life. A\ hile she has gone
from the conflicts, the sorrows and
pleasures of life, sue will still live
in the hearts of those who loved
her best.
None ever entered her home
without a warm welcome nor left
without feeling the warmth of a
genuine hospitality, so character
istic of the people of her ancestry.
Disease did not destroy the charm
of a kind, indulgent disposition,
nor old age diminish her unselfish
solicitude for her friends and loved
i >nes.
The last services were held at
the home Friday morning at 10
o.elock. by Rev. Campbell of the
Methodist church.—ArcadiaCham

WEEKLY WEATHER FORECAST
I".;.*'; by the U. S. Weather
Bureau. Washington. I>. C.. f.-r
the week beginning Wednesday.
August is. 1915.
K->r Plains States and Upper
M >- -sippi Valley: Local showers
Wednesday will be followed by
fair weather for a day or so and
then by shower- about Thursday
or Friday: probably fair List
three days of week. Moderate
temperature.
THE FIRST CANDIDATE
For t ie first time in fifteen years
Hastings is t ‘ have a gubernatorial
candidate in the tr*ld. \since
C. H. Dietrich was elected gover
nor in l9"o ha- an Adams counts
man entered the rare for the high
office. C. .1. Miles, for eleven
years mayor of Hastings, has be :i
stung in the gubematonial bee,
and is prepared to enter the race
for republican and popular favor
hoof, hide and tallow.
Miles made a definite announce
ment here late yesterday to the ef
fect that unless conditions change
radically he will !>e a candidate for
the republican nomination.
The exact position of W. K.
Andrews, former comptroller of
the United State- treasury, is not
known. The rumor has been per
sistent that Andrews is to become
a candidate but this Inis not been
confirmed.
GETTING THE HABIT.
Farmers and town people all
over the country are rapidly
adopting the new policy of using
writing j>ai*er and envelopes with
their name- and addresses neatly
printed thereon.
It has many advantages. It
prevents the numerous errors in
t!ie spelling of names, insures cor
rectness of address, and guarantees
the prompt return of your letter
in the event of non delivery.
It is no more expensive than the
baying of stationery in small lots
in the old way, and adds a distinc
tive air of respectability and re
finement to every home.
It is a good thing, and has come
stay—and grow.
NOTICE.
After August Slit, this bank will
close at 5 o’clock P. M. and open at
the usual hour of 8 o’clock A. M. We
trust that this arrangement will in
no way inconvenience our patrons and
| believe that it will enable us to render
a little better service in that it
| will give us more time to balance up
the day’s work.—Loup City State
Bank.

EIGHTH GRADE TO
HOLD EXERCISES
Will Be Held at Loup City on Wednesday, September First.
Following is the Communication of Superintendent
Currier to the Class, Program and Class Roll.
To the Eighth Grade Class of 1915:
Our first attempt at holding county eighth grade graduating
exercises was such a success that we announce with pleasure the
second annual exercises to be held during the teachers’ institute.
V e trust that this will become a permanent custom. Holding
the exercises during the week of institute gives all teachers of
toe county an opportunity to attend and gives the pupils an oppor
tunity to mingle with this large body of educators.
The second annual Eighth grade commencement exercises of
Sherman county will be held in the Loup City opera house. Wednes
day. September 1. 1915. at 2 o’clock, at which time diplomas of
graduation from the Nebraska public schools will be presented to
he boys and girls who have passed successfully the uniform
examination of the state.
There will be a picnic dinner on the court house square at 12
o'clock for all teachers and eighth grade graduates, together with
parents and friends of the members of the class. Each family is
expected to bring a basket.
State Superintendent A. O. Thomas will deliver the commence
ment address. An interesting program will be rendered and it is
earnestly desired that all members of the class be present, and it
is hoped that each may receive an inspiration to take advantage
of the bright and promising opportunities of our time. The school
ing you have received thus far has been a preparatory course, a
foundation on which to build the education given in the high
school and in the college and university. You are graduating from
this preparatory course either to a higher school of learning or to
the great school of active life. A wise and thoughtful writer says:
“If the work of the first eight years has given us true ideas, and a
start toward independent thought, trained us in habits of continu
< s application and enables us to educate ourselves after a definite
[plan and system, it has done well and fulfilled its purpose.” These
] truly hope have been the results.
Be present and help to make this a day of pleasure for all and
an occasion long to be remembered.
