Loup City Northwestern A LIVE NEWSPAPER PUBLISHED IN A LIVE TOWN VOLUME XXXIV LOUP CITY, NEBRASKA, THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 16. 1915. NUMBER 38 COUNCIL DISCUSSES SEWER QUESTION Ways and Means of Getting Sewer System Thoroughly Dis cussed By Council at Meeting Monday Even ing—District Plan Most Feasible. The city council met in special session Monday evening and took up the matter of submitting the sewer proposition to the voters of the city. The subject was pretty thoroughly discussed with a view to determing the most feasible and at the same time the easiest method of getting the required result with out making the sewer a burden that will cause dissatisfaction. The need of a sewer system is be yond question and there is no doubt that a scheme will finally be evolved that will be satisfactory to the taxpayers of the town. William Graefe has put in con siderable time looking over the systems in surrounding towns and took the floor and explained at length the ways and means that have made sewers possible, in other towns of about the same size as Loup City. At St. I’aul a system was put in at a cost of about So,000. 1'his sewer is a mile and one-half in length, with a 12-inch main. In Loup City, however, the lack of a sufficient fall to the river would necessitate a larger main, probably a 24-inch pipe being necessary in order to get results that would be satisfactory through out the year. The most feasible plan, and the one that will most likely be sub mitted to the voters, is to divide the city into sewer districts and complete one district at a time. City Engineer Wolf was instruct ed to prepare an estimate of the cost of a sewer for a district com prising the down town section of the city which may comprise in the neighborhood of twelve blocks and present the same to the coun cil at a special meeting to be held next Monday evening. At this meeting the amount of the bonds will be determined and other de tails arranged for a speedy sub mission to the voters. It is thought that it will not be necessary to issue bonds to exceed §10,000 and the concensus of opinion is that it will not be necessary to use all of this amount to complete the first district. The water mains in some cases will have to be extended in order to get the sewer service but the cost of these extensions will lie comparatively small in proportion to the benefits derived therefrom. Some other towns in this section have made errors in the sewer construction, and it predicted that the Loup City council will profit by these mistakes on the part of sister towns, and avoid the repeti tion of the same in this city. Loup City needs the sewer sys tem and there is no doubt that the proposition will be met with ap proval if presented in a form that will not be a burden on the tax payers of the city. Other towns have adequate sewer systems and are getting them on the easy pay ment plan and there is no reason that we should be a jump behind any town of the size in the state. Let all pull together and get a start on this proposition and put Loup City on the map as a town i with a sewer system. | FARMERS WILL DISCUSS FOR EIGN RELATIONS The now economic and trade conditions growing out of the European war is prominent in the program of the farmer’s national I congress which meets in Omaha I September 2S for its thirty-fifth , annual session.

She then organized herself into j an investigating committee and began taking testimony from | married ladies of her aquaintanee. ! The first one she visited used to be j a belle and the most admired! girl in town before she married j six years before. The cross-ex-1 animation brought out the fact j that she had six children, did all her own work, 'including washing and ironing, and hadn't been down town for four weeks, and that her husband had given her but $2 since she married, and that he had borrowed and forgot to pay back $10 which her brother once gave her for a Christmas present. He bought himself a new overcoat with the money, while she wore the same plush coat which she wore when he was courting her. Another woman whom she visited : quit teaching school three years ago to marry "the handsomest and best-dressed man in town,” and she was supporting him. A third didn’t dare to say her soul was her own when her husband was arround, though she used to write some lovely essays when she was at school on the "emancipa tion of women,” and the fourth woman she sawwas divorced. After visiting them and summing up the evidence, she went home and ' wrote the young man. She will | be married next month. KEARNEY PRESBYTERY.

This is due to certain ex i penses not being considered. Those omitted are as a general ■ rule those for which cash is not ! paid. Buildings depreciate in ; value even though well built and kept up in good shape. Machinery has an annual depreciation of about 10 percent. If the year ends with less feed on hand than at the be ginning, the decrease is an ex pense. Unpaid family labor is not often thought of as an expense. I However, it is fully realized when jthe boys leave home and someone j is hired to take their place. The value of these items on 54 (iage j county farms amounted to $246 a ! farm in 1914. The total expenses amounted to $091 a farm. From this it is seen that if those ex penses not paid in cash are omitted, i about one-fourth of the actual ex ■ pense of operating a farm is.over ! looked. The farms from which ! the above figures were calculated | are typical of a large part of south east Nebraska.—Farm Manage ment Survey, College of Agricul ture. CONFIRMED A SUSPICION. The editor of Midwest Magazine attended every session of the Manufacturers’ Outing Associa tion at Omaha a few weeks ago. “‘Mail order competition” was the chief complaint of the retailers present. The editor made note of the men who were loudest in their complaints and then looked up the newspapers published in their re spective towns. In every instance it transpired that the loudest com plaints came from the towns where the newspapers carried the least up-to-date advertising from the local merchants. It confirmed a suspicion that has been lurking in the editorial mind for a long time. —Midwest Magazine. MARRIED. • Wednesday, Sept. 15, 1915 at 5 o’clock p. m. a quiet wedding took place at the Baptist parson age, Rev. J. L.'Dunn, ofL’eiating. The contracting parties were Mr. l’eter P. (lade and Miss Annie Huebert, both of Litchfield. After the short but impressive ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Gade arove back to Litchfield where a sumptuous wedding supper was awaiting their return. “The Perils of Pauline" becomes more and more interesting as the story goes on. We would urge you to come to this theatre to see them. They are wholesome, clean, and yet intensely thrilling. The players should alone guarantee the produc tions. They are pictures you can safely bring your wife, your sweet heart or your children to see. There is no vulgarity—nothing to put foolish ideas into anyone's head. But the action is fast and spectacular, with a streak of villainy which makes the love of Pauline and Harry stand out in strong contrast. We urge you to come to see “The Perils of Pauline.” You will be more than pleased_At Daddow Theatre every Tuesday even ing. _ FOR RENT. 80 acres of hay land for rent. W. SiEi 24-15-16.

COUNTY FAIR WILL BEGIN WEDNESDAY According to Predictions of Officers Showing Will Be Much Greater Than Preceding Years—Many Attrac tions Engaged to Amuse the Crowds. Next Wednesday will be the opening day of the third annual exhibit of the Sherman County Agricultural society, and unless all signs fail will greatly surpass all previous efforts of the society. The weather, of course, is to be taken into consideration, but ac cording to advance dope by the weather bureau, the weather will be generally fair and the prospects are that there will be a consider able rise in temperature the com ing week, although frosts are pre dicted in the upper Mississippi .valley country. locked and tied with rope. Prof. R.van allows himself to he manacled with any kind or breed of hand cuffs and guarantees to get them off in an incredibly short time. A bail game will attract the followers of the national game each day. On Wednesday the Wiggle creek and Clear creek nines will tight out a long un settled grudge. Tuesday, Arcadia and Comstock will contest for tin* privilege of playing Rockville on the last day. The purses for the ball games are large enough to be attractive and all the teams will bring along their best warriors and spectators will l>e assured of seeing some good games. According to Secretary Tracy the displays in the premium de partments will be unusually large, and the competition for the prizes keen. A number of special premiums are offered b.v the Loup City business men and will add zest to the competition and no doubt the judges will have a hard task to determine the winners. Manager Harry denner an nounces that everything at the park will be in first class condition to take care of the exhibits and he and his assistants have put in con siderable hard work getting the grounds into shape for the open ing day. Taking it all together, the prospects never were better for a big and successful fair than they are for the third exhibition. Secretary lrac.v, with liis assis tants and other officers, have toil ed unceasingly to make the three days a success, financially and otherwise and have signed a num ber of attractions that should not disappoint the people who attend. Mr. Tracy announces that he has contracted with the Twin City Amusement company, of Council Hlutfs, Iowa, to furnish five acts daily for the entertainment of the crowd. The main feature is the balloon race and parachute drop. Of course to some the baloon feature is old, but the thrill is there just the same as ever, and when the time comes for the act the crowd is always just as anxious as ever to see the whole proceed ing, from the tilling of the big gas bags till the performer is again safe on earth. Two wonderfully trained dogs put on acts that are said to be much above the usual trained animal act, one walking a tight rope and the other doing a dive into a net from a perch < n a ladder sixty feet from the ground.
