POLSKI, Co. Clerk. PUBLIC SALE. Owing to Grant Rogers being hailed out and Clarence Rogers having de cided to quit farming, they will have a joint sale at the Roger’s place, 6 miles northwest of Loup City, on the SE 1-4 of section 6-15-15, on Friday, October 1/ commencing at 1 o'clock p. m. The sale will consist of 16 cows, 2 year-olds and cows up to 6 and 7 years old; 5 yearlings and 11 head of spring calves, mostly bulls.. Fourteen head of pigs that will weigh about 50 lbs. each. Two dozen hens and eight guineas. Also a DeLaval separator, single buggy, walking plow, and other numerous articles. The terms will be eight months on sums over $10, secured by bankable note bearing 10 per cent interest. Col. Jack Pageler is the auctioneer and W. F. Mason will clerk the sale. HE COULDN’T AFFORD IT. Jud Shaw sold shoes and sealing wax, and lamps, fishpoles and glue tobacco, candles, gum, and tacks, slickers and sardines, too; dry goods and hams were in his line; he dealt in peas and beans; he kept the gen eral store, in fine—sold overalls and jeans; but Jud, somehow, he wasn't wise—“Couldn't afford to advertise.” Not that he harbored any grudge against his home town sheet; he was, as anyone might judge, a kindly man to meet; his customers he treated fair, and yet he prospered not; his goods were honest, one would swear— he simply was forgot; for Jud, some how, he wasn’t wise—"Couldn’t af ford to advertise.” Mail order firms from out of town, much wiser in their day, paid liber ally for their renown, and gathered in the hay; their catalogues went ev erywhere; they advertised for trade; their name went forth with trumpets blare, and, ah! the coin they made; couldn't afford, they were so wise, couldn’t afford NOT t’ advertise. Now Jud’s stuff it was just as good; his prices were the same; the loss was ours; he simply WOULD not spread abroad his name though towns folks might much preferred in their home mart to buy, of Jud Shaw they had never heard—you know the rea son why, for Jud, somehow, he wasn’t wise—“Couldn’t afford toadvertise.” WON’T HAPPEN AGAIN. The Northwestern is considerably late in publishing this week, owing to, the installation of a new linotype ma chine and a rush of job work inci dental to fair week. We trust that our readers will bear with us as we do not expect to put in another ma chine in the near future and will make it a point to print on time in the hereafter. Ne w Winter Coats and Hats PRICES LOWEST Mrs. Mathew FOR COUNTY TREASURER Emil Holub of Bristol Township Says He Will Run For Treasurer. Mr. Emil Holub of Bristol town ship, Sherman county, will enter the State university at Lincoln the open ing of the fall term. He has been very successfully engaged in school teaching, but has decided to do some special work at the university this fall. Mr. Holub tells The News that he expects to enter the race for the office of county treasurer of Sherman county next year, and will announce himself as a candidate before the pri mary election next August. He is well qualified for the position, and it is quite certain that he will receive very strong support throughout the southern part of Sherman, where his merit is best known. Mr. Holub lost an arm in a threshing machine or corn sheller accident several years ago and much of his time since then has been devoted to acquiring an education and teaching school. Since leaving the Ravenna high school he has completed the course in the St. Paul business college and is now about to enter upon a year's special wmrk in the uni versity, and his education and experi ence has been such as to well qualify him for the responsible position to whcih he aspires.—Ravenna News. DON’T FORGET. Next week’s paper will tell you of the Art exhibit to be given by the High school and Unity club. Daily sells for less. MOVED I have moved and my friends and customers will now find me on the north side of the street in the building formerly occu pied by Rig Slocumb, where I am prepared to give my patrons the same satisfactory services as heretofore. LOU SCHWANER NORTHWEST NEBRASKA Sand Hills Country Showing Very Rapid and Commendable Prog ress in Development. \’o section of the state is coming into its own more rapidly than is j northwest Nebraska at the present I time. It is a revelation to people I who cover that section of the state i the magnificent showing that it is making in agricultural lines this year, notwithstanding the fact that it is generally conceded to be a great grazing country with that feature overshadowing everything else. This year the crops of small grain are unprecedented in that section and thousands and thousands of acres have, teen put into eultiv..ti->n ‘.hi' year. Winter wheat in Sheridan county has yielded from 30 to 40 bush els tothe acre. Oats in a half doz en sections of northwest Nebraska are yielding GO to 80 bushels and in one or two instances as high as 100 bushels per acre, and spring wheat is making a record yield. There will be a heavy potato crop and alfalfa has simply been unequalled all through the season. There is much stock in this section and dairy interests are receiving more and more attention. Probably double the amount of cream has been used in local creameries or shipped out of northwest Nebraska this year over the output of any previous year and in several localities new7 creameries have been put in and that branch of busi ness is developing very rapidly in that section. The sandhills country that twenty-five and thirty years ago was bleak and barren, even in mid-suum mer, is today grassed and sodded so that there is nothing greener in the state than the sand hills country. Needless to say, stock interests are wonderfully prosperous in that section and more and more in the valleys of the hills where water is reached at very near the surface, alfalfa and for age is being raised and the question of winter feed is practically solved for this entire section. No one believed twenty-nve years ago that there would be one-half the number of people in that section of the state that there is at present. No one believed that the sandhills coun try would ever show the development that it has already made. It is the old story over again-—a hundred years ago all Nebraska was a desert; fifty years ago everything west of the river counties was a desert; twenty-five years ago the sandhills country was I worthless; today, there is no section of this state that has not its present worth and future prospects for the largest improvement and betterment. Northwest Nebraska, in its develop ment at the present time, not includ ing the irrigated North Platte valley which is conceded the richest section of the state state, all the rest of north west Nebraska is coming to the front in no uncertain way. Many prosper ous towns are growing from country towns into smal cities with every mod ern improvement. Good farms are be ing developed on every hand where farming was not considered possible a short time ago. Shipping business is on the increase. NewT people are going into that territory; it has a field for business cultivation on the part of jobbers and manufacturers, in this and other sections of eastern Ne braska.—Lincoln Trade Exhibit. EDITOR HAS ACCIDENT. Editor Mell Gordon of the Arcadia Champion met with quite a serious ac cident while attending the fair at Seward a few days ago. The details are lacking, but from report, it hap pened while Mr. Gordon was riding a motorcycle, he running into another machine and sustaining a broken arm and dislocated hip. He is in the hos pital at Seward at present, but will probably be brought home the first of next week. Chase’s for fresh groceries. COUNTY FAIR HAS BIG ATTENDANCE Sherman County Fair Exhibition Surpasses That of Previous Years In All Respects—Attendance Thursday Was Largest In History of the Association. The county fair opened yesterday under auspicious circumstances. The weather was perfect and while the crowd was not large the first day, big crowds are expected today and tomor row. Governor Morehead will be here today and a very large crowd is al ready beginning to come in to see him and hear hint speak. Mr. More head is probably the most popular governor the' state of Nebraska has ever had and draws a crowd wherever he goes. The fair management has secured good, clean attractions and the ex hibits are numerous and nicely ar ranged. The Loup City band will fur nish plenty of music. A stock com pany is showing at the opera house every night during the fair and a dance also every night in the band room furnishes plenty of amusement for those who desire to round out the days with these pleasures. .Merchants and citizens of the town are to be commended for the inter est they are taking in the fair this year. A collection was taken up among the business men Monday to pay for street sprinkling during the fair and it has made a wonderful im provement. Dirt was flying every where Monday and with the streets being sprinkled each day adds much to the pleasures of the fair. Owing to The Northwestern being late we are enabled to give a more ex tended writeup of the fair than the above. The ball game on the first day was a very one-sided affair, Clear Creek winning from Wiggle Creek by a large score. The ball game the sec ond day between Ashton and Arcadia was won by the latter team by a 6 to 0 score. The Ashton team came up on short notice, taking the place of the Comstock team which failed to put in an appearance at the last minute. Arcadia and Rockville are scheduled to play the last day. Thursday was the banner day of the fair and a large crowd filled the park and hall grounds. The govern or’s speech pleascu the crowd and the concession men did a good busi ness and were happy. Two ballonn flights wore made, as there was ton much wind to make a site -essful fight the first day. On the third day the skies are dimmed with heavy clouds and it looks very much like rain. This will prob ably reduce the crowd and keep the fair from having the attendance it is entitled to. It has been a very sue eessful fair and the attendance was above the average. A complete list of the premium winners will be pub lished in The Northwestern next week. _ THE EDITOR'S PRAYER. An editor went to vhurch the other day and was called on to lead in pray er, when he responded as follows: "Almighty, the kind Father, who doth from thy throne look down on the gov eminent of delinquent subscribers, we most humbly beseech thee to draw near unto them and whisper a few things into their ears that the stat utes forbid us to print. Thou knowest our wants, but the subscribers know them not, and seldom, if ever, stop to inquire. Let it be known to then that there are big patches on the homestead of our pants, and that there is an aching void in the front of our back—that we hunger and thirst and they ask us not to come and sup with them. Thou knowest. Lord, that our ink and print paper costs money, but the subscriber knoweth it noi and careth a great deal less. Thou knowest that we are cold, and the subscriber bringeth not the wood he promised, and we are shivering and shaking while he roasteth his shins before the red hot fires of his mother. Tell him all these thingh. Lord, am' if he faileth and bringeth on succor, banish him to the lower regions to dwell among the Republican, the Democrats, the Popocrats and Calam ity Howlers, and Thine shall be tin praise throughout our newspaper ca reer.—Maysville Mo., Pilot.
