THE ROCKVILLE CHRONICLE VOL. I. PUBLISHED AS A SUPPLEMENT TO THE NORTHWESTERN, LOUP CITY, NEBRASKA, SEPTEMBER 30, 1915. NO. 1 Ask the Head of the House The chances are he's a hard headed business man. One of those business men who is supposed to have no sentiment about him. Ask him about the Hupmobile. Remember—he pays the bills. He knows just what Hupmobile sendee is. For he measures it in dollars and cents. He will probably begin by telling you that he looks upon the Hupmobile as an investment. And he will probably say it's one of the best investments he has ever made. He may—if he pays attention to such small sums—pull out a note book and show you how little he has spent on repairs in ten or twelve or eighteen months, or in two or three years. And then as like as not he’ll forget all about busi ness and investment—and just bubble over with Hupmobile enthusiasm. We will be glad to leave you to him. If he’s the average Hupmobile owner he’s a better salesman than we are. He will tell you intimate things of his Hupmobile \ experiences that we cannot possibly know—evi dence of Hupmobiie quality with a capital “E.” And if you talk to two or three of his type— just average Hupmobile owners—there won't be much left for us to say when you come in to see us. $1085 Call and see this car demonstrated W.

ARCADIA MEETS DEFEAT Pitching of Treon Proves Too Much For Arcadia and Rockville Wins By Score of 5 to 1. The Rockville ball team defeated the fast Arcadia team at Loup City Friday afternoon by a score of 5 to 1. Treon was invincible, holding Ar cadia to two hits and striking out eight. “Lefty” Duryea, the fastest amateur pitcher in this part of the state, worked for Arcadia. A pass to Prichard, singles by Strom and Price and a passed ball netted Rockville three runs in the first, enough to win the game. A home run by Prichard netted another in the fifth and successive singles by Treon. Prichard and Strom in the eighth gave them the last one. Arcadia threatened in the third when Ward hit for three bases, but was caught napping a moment later, Sterzbach to Dwehus. Arcadia's lone tally came in the eighth on a pair of errors and an infield out. The pitching of Treon, the hitting of Prichard and Strom and a fast double play started by Dwehus, featured for Rockville, and the playing of Ward at first for Arcadia. Score by innings: R. H. E.

It is the aim of the management to give special attention to the needs of this depart ment and give a service that will be a credit to the advertisers and to the publishers. It will be the aim of the department to boost for Rockville all the time. We realize that Rockville is just about the best little town that we have met up with in some time. The business men are progressive and take pride in their town and a glance at the little city will convince anyone that they are striving to make it larger and better. We hope that the publication of this department may aid in the upbuilding of Rockville and we invite all to give their opinions and view's to the better ment of the towTn in these columns. They will be open at all times to print suggestions and opinions of any and all interested in the welfare of Rock ville. We sincerely hope that this de partment will be of value to the town and will stri’ e faithfully at all times to merit the patronage given it in any and all ways.

Owing to lack of time they did not sign the contract, and later refused to do so. Jacobs brought suit to compel them to com plete the contract, and was awarded a judgment of $450. The case may MAKING A NEW LANGUAGE. Are we gradually making a lan guage for ourselves which is-to be distinguished from English by what is called slang? It looks so. The other evening a mother was sitting with her daughter in a ball room, when the girl was approached by a young man who wanted to dance with her. “Hello, kid,” he said, “are you hooked up for this next trot?" “Nix,“she replied, “I’ve been a wall-flower so much tonight I’m be ginning to think I’m a back number." "No chance,” responded the gallent, “a guy that can shake a hoof like you can has Pavlova backed off the board.” The mother, who was a fine old lady of the old school, gasped and nearly fainted, when the daughter arose, smoothed out her skirts and said, “Slip me your mit, pal, you're the lil’ ol' kidder, all right, hut, at that, I’m for you.” Remember when Teddy Roosevelt was going around the coun try showing his intelligent front teeth and telling folks what they ought to do and how he was the man to do it for them ? Of course you do, and how the enthusiast in the brown derby used to get up in his seat and whirl a red ban dana over his head and shout, “Go to it, kid, bat'em with your big stick! Make ’em sick, bo! You're the stuff, all right, all right!” The eminent practitioner who used to cloth him self in dignity and long whiskers, now feels your pulse and tells you “you’re off your feed.” The politician has discarded the baby kissing habit because it is insanitary, but he gets next to the people just the sa^e with his slang, and the high brow editorial writer writes “with the punch in it.” Listen! Get this! Don’t think, these days, that every fellow who uses slang is a roughneck. The chances are he’s got the goods.

Never has the corn crop of Nebras ka had to stand so many severe and unusual tests as it has been subject to this summer. The spring was late heavy rains washed out the early plant ing, cloudy, damp weather has pre vailed, the days have been cold and nights cold and hail has hit more than half the farms of the county, some of them being hit several times. Such a year was never known here be fore. There have been no excessively hot weather, such as is calculated to push the corn crop along, and there has not been one sultry night. The result of all this is that corn is late, though, with time to mature, this would be our biggest corn year. But the lateness of the crop has kept our farmers on the anxious seat, fearing the killing frost. Two or three times it looked like frost lately, but every time the conditions changed in time to avevrt that disaster until Tuesday morning, when a white frost was vis ible in all parts of the county. Itlooked like a killing frost, but from re ports from all parts of the county we are led to believe that, on the whole, the frost has been a good thing. In the vicinity of Arcadia and in the low’er places the county over the corn is doubtles so badly frozen that it cannot go on to maturity. But in other places the frost only served to nip the leaves and put a stop to growth. With the warm w-eather following the process of curing will now go on and the result will be a better quality of corn than would have been possible without the frost. Unitl the frost the corn was so green from top to bottom that maturity was out of the question and all our farm ers knew that a killing frost must come soon, anyway. So anything, even a slight frost, that will stop the grow ing, is the thing that points toward better corn. One experience has been missed this year, which never failed us before. Not for a day has the corn suffered from drouth. All through the season the crop has had its roots in moist soil and not a day has been exces sively hot and, least of all, has there been a suggestion of a hot wond. Such a thing has never occurred be fore. Every Valley county crop till this one has had to pas through a j period of drouth and hot winds which sapped the life more or less. But that has not happened this year. If only a few weeks of warm weather could be had now this would prove to be a great corn year for Valley county. There is a little hope for this in the government’s weather forecast, which promises warmer W'eather for the balance of the week. Corn in the most favored sections is now partly out of the way of frost. Several farmers have brought in sam ples of their corn, ears picked at ran dom, showung that there is consider able corn already dented. Every day like yesterday or today is adding much to the safety of our great cereal crop.—Ord Quiz. PUBLIC SALE.
