In response to an invitation from the Woman's Up-to-date club of Ar cadia. the Woman’s Unity club of Loup City autoed to our sister city yesterday. The ladies of the hostess club received their guests at the home of Mrs. Fries. Shortly after our ar rival we were ushered into the dining room where the tables, decorated with the brilliant poinsetta and the cheerful glow of a number' of red candles, gave a royal welcome. This feast was but an earnest of what was yet to come in the rich and splendidly prepared lesson of the day. It was | truly a "feast of reason.” We are still ; wondering at the great amount of ma- | terial presented in so short a time. Under the head of “General Topics,' they had a study of “The Psalms.'' ! The Psalms was presented as th§ i highest type 6T IleT)rew poetry,"com piled for the use of worship and to be ' accompanied by voice and stringed ! instruments. After this, they had j “The Lesson Hawaii.” A very com plete study of these islands was ac- | complished by the aid of copies of speeches. pamphlets and folders, some of which had been sent by the governor of the islands. The “Con tinued Story” was the dainty and beautifully sketch of our dearly loved blind hymn writer, who passed away but a few months ago. This exchange of courtesies will draw the ties of friendship closer and greatly stimulate the work of the turn call early in the new year.—Con tributed. A BUSY DAY. Last Saturday was one of the busiest days Loup City has seen in several months. A large number of people were in town and the mer- ! chants did an extremely good busi- I ness.. Several merchants offered i special inducements to the public and i they report a very satisfactory day’s ! business. Vic Swanson reports that : his store did the biggest day’s busi- j ness in several months and that a number of new customers patronized j his store for the first time on that ! i day. Mr. Swanson has been offering i Saturday specials for several weeks, and has a couple of Saturday specials advertised in this week’s issue of The Northwestern, which will be found elsewhere in these columns. The Swanson store will probably make the Saturday specials a regular fea ture, so it will pay the buying public , , to look for them every week. PRESBYTERIAN BANQUET. The banquet held in the new base ment at the Presbyterian church last Thursday night was attended by a large number of people. Over 175 tickets were sold. Rev. E. M. Steen acted as toast master and good short addresses were made by Rev. Ray of Council Bluffs, Rev. Johnson of Kearney, J. S. Pedler, R. H. Mathew and Judge Wall.

I WORK FOR ASSESSORS County Assessor Owens received the following communication from he state board of equalization. The and ;s to be re valued, and the new valuation is to stand for the next four years. According to the following letter, county assessors must get out and do the work in the three worst months of the year: To county assessors and county boards of the state of Nebraska: In the year 1916, the real estate of Nebraska is to be reassessed for the next four years. In order to have a just and uniform assessment, the county assessor must take charge and supervise the real es Late assessment of your county. It is the duty of the county assessor to jointly view with adjoining county as sessors the lands on the county lines and place a value on each side of the county line. After values are estab lished on county lines, he should go over each precinct together with the precinct assessor to place,values on the real estate and to see that uni form values be placed on lands on township lines, so that equal lands will carry the same values, on each side of the precinct lines. The travel ing expenses for this work must be paid by the county and should be cheerfully allowed by the county board. This will be the only system to have a uniform value over the en tire state, and all aid and help you can give your county assessor will be tor a good cause. It would be a fine thing if each member of the board would be out with the county assessor n your respective djatrict to assist in jetting uniform values. Then your i ounty .'equalization on real estate would only be a formality. This work of valuing real estate should be •ompleted by April 1st, and therefore work should begin shortly after New fear. Field notes should be prepared at once by the county assessor so that : he can start his work after the new j year, using the best days to be out j and taking land values. Property I in cities and villages must also be viewed by county assessor and pre cinct assessor so that values be more uniform of villages and cities of a like nature. The meetings over the state held with the county assessors were a success in every way. The work of starting the real estate assessment after January 1st, was agreed upon to I be dated and completed by April 1st. This will greatly assist you in com pleting it in time as required by law. You should appear before your county board at their regular meeting in Jan uary and ask for the necessary al lowance for help so that you can de vote your whole time to the precinct assessors and their work. Thus you will secure a just valuation all over your county. See to it that all per sonal property is listed. The basis of actual assessed value agreed upon is 75 per cent of sales values taken all over the state. If this is done, we will have an as sessed value of which you all can be . proud. The State Board of Equaliza tion & Assessment will assist you possible. O. P. BERNECKER, Secretary. THE K. P. SHOOT. At the, big K. P. blue rock shoot Thanksgiving afternoon. Captain R. H. Mathew’s team won over the team headed by Knight H.M. Eisner, break ing an average of 9.5 rocks per man to 7.7 rocks per man for the Eisner team.
