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.

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.

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.

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.
