The regular meeting of the Loup City Commercial club was held last night. The meeting was well attend ed and was followed by a banquet. Considerable business of importance was transacted and a number of pub lic improvements were gone into. A committee of three was appointed to confer with representatives of the Ladies’ Unity club in regard to a rest room. A resolution favoring city sewerage was carried unanimously. Recommended that at the next meeting the club look into the matter of having freights stop at Austin. Recommended to the mayor and city council that an ordinance be passed requiring parking of autos in the mid dle of the street in certain business blocks. The committee on refreshments at the next meeting is C. F. Beushausen, A. J. Johnson and W. S. Waite. SOME POTATOES. C. O. Johnson, living three miles south of town brought in load of fine potatoes Friday which he sold to A. E. Chase. Mr. Johnson says that he planted just two and one-half bushels of seed on about one-half acre of ground, from which he harvested over 100 bushels besides having sup plied his table all season. This spells, at least, 225 per acre. He says that after digging there was no small ones to cull out. It was about as fine a load of spuds as we ever saw, ranging in size from that of your fist to that of your double fist. BROKEN BOW VISITORS. A. J. Reneau and son, of Broken Bow were in our city a few hours Sat urday. They were on their return trip home after having visited Arcadia, Sargent, Ord, Burwell, St. Paul, Ash ton and Rockville. They returned by way of Litchfield, Ansley and Ma son City, thus making the trip by auto around the horn. Mr. Reneau is an old time citizen of Custer county and took great pleasure in meeting some : of our old settlers among them J. S. Pedler, Judge Wall and George E. Benschoter. BIG SATURDAY BUSINESS. i The streets were lined with teams Saturday. We counted at one time one hundred and thirty-nine teams and twenty-six autos from the coun try. Many people from a distance were at the hub and the merchants were busy for the greater part of the day. Several loads of lumber went to the country, and the elevators bought a large quantity of grain and hay. ENJOYS VISIT FROM BROTHERS. Harry Miner, who has not been well for three weeks past, received a visit * last Friday from his three brothers, one from Grand Island and two from Ravenna. They heard that Mr. Miner was not well and came over to see him. He is able to be around, but is too poorly to do much work. It is hoped that he will soon be well again. USE WATER POWER AGAIN. E. G. Taylor, of the Loup City Mill & Light company, has had a force of men at work on the mill race for several days. This week the water has been turned in and today they will again commence the use of water power of the mill and lighting plant. At the same time J. W. Conger’s large ice pond will be filled for the winter harvest. ADDS MORE SHELVING. Vic Swanson added five shelves to the east side of his store room this week. The shelves are eighty feet long and this makes nine shelves he now has on that side of the room. The new arrangement gives a much better display of goods and is also much more convenient, both for cus tomer and salesman. THANKS THE BOYS. The young men and boys of Loup City are entitled to credit for the lack of property damage and disturbance Hallowe’en. It certainly is a credit to the town that there was practically no damage done. We are all in fa vor of plenty of good wholsesome amusement, and are glad to see that it can be done without injuring others. Thanks. J. A. BITUNETT, Marshal NtW AUTO FIRM. Alva O. Lwis sold his garage to W. S. Waite and A. L. Zimmerman, the new owners taking possession last Thursday. The new firm will be known as Zimmerman & Waite. They will continue to handle the popular Maxwell automobiles, and will con duct a garage and auto livery. Both members of the new firm are well known and highly successful business men and we bespeak for them a pros . perous career in their new venture. SIX O’CLOCK DINNER. Mrs. L. V.

Phillips and family, of Pleasan ton, Nebr., drove over Monday in their car to visit with his cousin, H. G. Hosier, and family. Messrs. Phillips and Hosier had not seen each other for over thirty-five years, having lost trace of each other that long ago, and only getting each other located a short time ago. The visit was great ly enjoyed by the two gentlemen. Mr. Hosier has been laid up for some time with carbuncles on his knees. BASKET SOCIAL A SUCCESS. The basket social at the school house in District No. 31 last Friday ' evening was largely attended. A ■ number went out from town. The program was fine and every one car- i ried out their parts in good shape, which speaks well for the teacher of that district, Miss Elnora Cockran, as the children were very well drilled. The music furnished by Miss Fay Gallaway was very much appreciated and everybody present reported a good time. The sale of the baskets netted {$26.45.

Mrs. Amick and Mrs. Outhouse vis- ! ited at school last Monday.

Lewis district, last Friday. The school notes in the Times last week were interesting but not new to us as we had read them before in dif ferent college publications. Of course, the names were changed to suit the occasion. The Softies held a wienie roast last Thursday evening at the river. We hope they had a good time, and judg ing from the noise they made on the way home, they did, but we know that still water runs deep, so they are ; rather shallow. Last Saturday evening the juniors entertained the whole high school at : a Hallowe’en party in the society hall. The guests wore costumes and a prize was given for the best. Some of the ■ costumes represented the following: 1 Night, Little Red Riding Hood, ghosts, gipsy fortune teller, Indians, clowns, cats, the Gold Dust Twins, 1 and a Grecian maid. Games were played and late in the evening refresh ments were served. Everyone report ed a fine time and we thank the juniors and Kelly, for our most excellent flme. DRAIN LARGE LAGOON. W. D. French and Skip Thrasher have been up in the edge of Valley county for the past three weeks with < their grading outfit digging a ditch ' and grading a road bed through the ' farm of Leslie Arnold, near the Pat | Braden homestead. The object is to drain a large lagoon, which has for several years past contained so large a body of water as to back up and overflow several acres of valuable land on the flat round about it. The ditch was run to the northwest branch of Oak Creek. French and Thrasher completed their work and returned home last Friday evening. TRACY SCHOOL NOTES Eva Watts spent Sunday at home.
