ANOTHER RED-LETTER DAY.
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. Miss
Minnie Woods gave a reading and
Ward VerValin read the church his
tory. An orchestra composed of local
talent filled out the evening with
splendid music. The Misses Florence
and Mable Depew sang a duet, and
Miss Fay Gallaway rendered a solo.
The banquet was greatly enjoyed by
all present. The purpose of the affair
was to raise money to complete the
payments on the basement that was '
recently completed and is a fine ad
dition to the church edifice.

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.
