NEBRASKA CORN A SATISFACTORY CROP Writer In Lincoln Trade Review Diagnosis the Condition of the Corn Crop in Nebraska—Saye Indications Are For a Bumper Crop In Western Section. From every indication Nebraska will this year produce a corn crop that will become close to a record crop in this state. Never have the condi tions been so universally good ib ev ery part of Nebraska; never has there been anything like the prospect for a big crop in the extreme western part of the state that there is this year. .Reports from Cheyenne county, re ports from Dundy county are as op 'timistic for an overwhelming year as are the reports from the greatest corn producing counties in the eatsern sec tion of the state. During the last few years, there has been a marked shortage in corn production in Nebraska. In 1913, the state fell to the low point compared with other years. One year ago it was far from meeting expectations but this year all the loss in the two former years will be more than made good. Preductions of the latest government report are all along the line of upward of two hundred million 1 bushels of corn this year. With an other two weeks of such weather as we have had the past two weeks, corn will be finished off so that a produc tion of two hundred million bushels will be far too small. When corn has such weather as it has had this year after the ears are set, there is scarce ly any basis large enough on which to predict the yield. I It is not probable that this year will see the greatest corn crop ever grown in this state because back before we became such a winter wheat state, when the corn acreage was much lar ger than at present, this state in 1905 produced 263.551,772 bushels, and the crop of 1906 wras only a little below that being 249,7S2,500 bushels. But those were the days before the larger a ! cage of winter wheat and if we closely approximate these bumper yields of the past in the crop this year, it will be done on a much less acreage than the big record was made /in the past. In the last ten years, only four of the years have passed the two hundred million bushel point in production. Here is the record for ten years: 1905 .263,551,672 1906 .249,782,500 1907 . 179,328,482 1908 .205,767,000 1909 .196,565,000 1910 .207,94S,000 1911 .168,000,000 1912 .189,350,000 1913 . 114,135,000 1914 .178,992,000 Last year, Nebraska stood third in the list of highest corn producing states, Illinois and Iowa only exceed ing Nebraska in corn production. In 1S95, Nebraska was in first place in corn production. It has not, with only one exception, ever been below fifth place and has held firmly to third place in a majority of the last ten years. There need be no question but that Nebraska wili hold its position this year. It can hardly exceel Illi nois or Iowa because conditions have been as perfect for a great corn crop in those states as it has been in Ne braska and their acreage is very much greater. When it comes to yield per acre, there is iittle question but that under present conditions, Ne braska will show* the largest yield per acre this year of any state in the United States.—Lincoln Trade Ex hibit.

Kin ^ I TAKE My PAT AW'fl ALONG,? rj r 1 VJ-tf-NS BCHICK£H frrs Y rainin] GOVERNOR SPEAKS TO VIGORS Hon. John H. Morehead Addresses a Large Crowd at Fair. Governor Morehead visited Loup City last week and was royally en tertained by the citizens of the town. The governor arrived here Wednes day evening, stopping at the Fred erick hotel. He visited the park that evening and was well pleased with the creation of the Jenners, and ex pressed surprise that a town of this size having a park that would be a credit to a city. After bowling a few games he returned to town and early the next morning John Long and several others took him out to the golf links and taught him the rudi ments of the game. Mr. Morehead stated that when he was a young fellow he chopped wood left handed and could hardly ever strike twice in the same place, while the golf players made him learn to serve right handed and that he did fairly well considering that handicap. Editor Beushausen entertained the governor and several leading lights at luncheon after which he repaired to the park where a large crowd had gathered to hear his speech. The principal topic of his address was “Nebraska,” politics being touched upon to no great extent. The gover nor has developed into a prety good public speaker and has the facts and figures of our great state and its in stitutions down pat. His talk was interspersed with some pretty good stories which he used to illustrate some of the points that he wished to bring out. After the address Governor More head was busy for some time shak ing hands with many people who wished to meet him, after which Mr. Long took him to Ravenna in his car in order to enable the governor to take the evening train back to Lin coln. His visit here was a pleasant one, the weather was ideal and it is the wish of all that he will be with us again some time in the near fu ture. ) Will exhibit abroad. The pictures of the Route 2 parade and picnic have been shown here four times and to a packed house each time. In addition to the route parade and picnic pictures, he also put ox: some pictures that were taken at Ar cadia, Comstock and Sargent. The pictures were very good, clear and plain and the entertainment lasted about an hour and a half. Last year the pictures were incomplete, but ev ery person and every float and other vehicles were taken in this year’s pic tures. James W. Conger, owner of the pictures has informed The North western that he will put on these pic tures at all of *the towns up the line. We can recommend this entertainment to the citizens of these towns and hope that Mr. Conger will be well patronized. NOTICE.

Winter Coats >!* and Hats HIGHES T QUALITY Mrs. Mathew PICTURES FOR SCHOOLS Exhibition To Be Held in Loup City For Purpose of Raising Funds For Pictures For Schools. This exhibition of pictures is one of more than ordinary interest. It consists of carbon photographs and engravings, loaned by the Elson Art Publishing Company, Inc., Belmont, Mass. The collection is a large one and contains only the wery best re productions of the masterpieces of art of different countries and periods. Nearly every gallery and country in the world would have to be visited to see the original pictures which are here brought together in one collec tion. - The collection comprises two hun dred subjects representing all the principal schools of art and including many reproductions of sculpture, architecture and important views from nature. Few collections have ever been brought together which so completely cover the history of art of all times as this. A catalog will be on sale at the exhibition hall. No city or town should be indiffer ent to the culture and refinement of its people. It is part of the school work to inculcate these qualities in the children through whatever means it has at its disposal. The wholesome and refining influence of pictures of the right sort on the school wall is now generally recognized as one of the most valuable means of securing this end. The funds for purchasing such pictures, as well as an opportun ity to make a selection from a very large number, is secured by means of the exhibition. The larger the at tendance, the greater number of pic tures that can be secured for the schools. It is to be hoped that all will visit this exhibition, which wil be held from October 11 to 15, under the auspices of the Unity club and the school. You will be fully repaid for the slight trouble and expense in the pleasure and profit you will gain for yourself, besides helping on the work.

Jack Rightenour, publisher of the Litchfield Monitor, and Mrs. Righten our and baby spent several days here last week visiting with relatives and their many friends and also taking in the county fair. Mr. Rightenour stat ed that on an average he visited the county seat about once a year and it , was generally about fair time. The Northwestern acknowledges pleasant visit from the Monitor scribe and learned a lot about the early his tory of Sherman county that Jack can tell in a very entertaining manner. He came to this county on September 3, 1880, with his parents, making the trip in a covered wagon, or prairie schooner from Grand Island, which was at that time the closest railroad point to Loup City. They left the Island at 8 o’clock in the morning and arrived here at 10 o’clock that night. On the trip they passed five houses on the entire route and the hills were covered with immense herds of cat tle. In the fall of 1884 Mr. Rightenour began working as an apprentice in The Northwestern office an^ has stuck by the trade ever since. He.went to Litchfield about eight years ago and purchased the Monitor. The plant was in a run down condition at that time and now he has one of the best equipped small plants in the state and his paper is a credit to the town that it represents.

LIKED THE FAIR. Thursday was the big day at the county fair and somewhere in iho neighborhood of 3,000 people passed through the gates. The exhibits in both live stock and produie' was fine and would be hard to beat at any fair. The people seem to show a great deal of interest in making our fair a suc cess in every way and this is as if. should be, for there is no county in the state more productive, or more able to support a good fair. The tall game between Ashton and Arcadia was hotly contested, the score standing 6 to 0, which, all things considered, was a close score. Ashton knew nothing about playing until Tuesday noon, and the short time madeit awfully hard to get a lineup, four of our best pay ers being unable to go at all. Th;s, coupled with a little bad luck, cinched the game for Arcadia. The balloou race and parachute leaps were good, the evening being ideal for these stunts. On the whole, our fair was a great succes. Space will not permit us dwelling more upon its merits.— Ashton Herald. FOR SALE. Five or six acres of land, in alfalfa, fenced chicken tight.

MEETINGS FOR THE WINTER MONTHS v Farmers Advised to Hold Meetings During the Winter Months For Educational and Social Benefit—Advance Ideas For General Welfare of Farmer. The winter months will be along soon now and the farmer will be wondering what he can do to while away the evening hours. And right here the editor wants to throw out a suggestion that means both pleasure and profit. Arrange to have a meet ing at one of your school houses or other public places at least one eve ning a month, at which you can all compare notes on the season’s work, note the mistakes that have been made and devise the best methods of correcting them the coming year. You cannot get a dozen farmers to gether but what some one of them will have something to say of value to you., something that perhaps you have not known before, something that will make work lighter and the profits greater in future years. The social features alone of such meet ings would drive away the mo notony of the winter evenings, and from a practical standpoint they would be of great value to every one who participates. Get together, gentlemen, and compare notes. What is good for one is of epual benefit to all. The farmer is the backbone of this town, in fact, he is the mainstay of the nation. We cannot place too much emphasis upon this fact. As the American farmer prospers, so it is with the country in general, and so will it always be. If the farmer has a bad year, then the stores, and the shops,and the business commun ity as a whole suffers. Everybody feels the pinch of a close season. That is one of the reasons why we of the town should work in harmony with farmers for a better and more pros perous community. As he encourages us with his patronage and cheerful smile when he comes to us,so should we return courtesy for courtesy by giv ing him the best that is in us, and by fostering a feeling of brotherly love and comradeship. It will not hurt the farmer, it will not harm us, and it will do all of us a world of good. A city dude once drove up to a cotntry store and stepped gingerly from his expensive limouziue with eye glasses dangling at the front of his immaculate vest. At the same time a farmer drove lip in his Ford and stepped leisurely to the pave i ment. The dude glanced at the far mer with a supercilious stare and stalked haughtily into the store. The farmer merely grinned and turn ed around to meet his friend the banker. The dude was on salary and living right up to his means. The farmer had mortgages plastered on property all over the territory, had money t? burn in the bank, and own ed a great farm that insured his in dependence for the rest of his days and a comfortable fortune for his family at his death. Which of the two was the beter man? Of course not all city people are dudes or idiots, and not all farmers are rich. But you see this same little comedy en acted in every town where auto mobiles find their way in the sum mer months. At least it is worth a passing thought. And that reminds us that if we can just get every farmer in this com munity to realize the financial advisa bility of tieing to this town in his commercial dealings it will pe a prac tical step in advance for the future of the whole community, town and country both. It will enable us to have better stores, and shops, and other business enterprises, and will inject new life into everything and ev erybody. It wil increase the value of the farms and the town property, and will make life easier and more at tractive in every way. It will go far toward preventing our young manhood from straying away from the safety and prosperity of the farms and in to the pitfalls and misery of a hand to mouth existence in some great city. It will enable them to grow to strong and virile rnauhod on the farm, while nine out of every ten in the great cities become but an atom among comities other atoms. Many farmers are as loyal to home institutions as it is posible for human beings to be, but. with others there is room for conver sion to the wisdom of feding the mouths that feed,them.
