LOUP CITY, NEBRASKA, THURSDAY, MARCH 9, 1916 NUMBER 12 ———^^——— ——— ——--. A CARNEGIE LIBRARY At the annual township meeting of Loup City township held Tuesday afternoon the city * and township again demonstrated that the town and country people of Loup City are very much alive. The usual routine business was transacted and levies made for bridge, road and general funds and then the principau business of the afternoon came before the meeting. The question of a township library, the same to be erected by the Carnegie Corporation of New ^ ork City, and maintained by the city and township was the proposition ot in terest to those at the meeting. Miss Templeton, of Lincoln, State Librarian, was present and took the floor and explained fully the methods of the Carnegie Corporation and answered a number of questions put to her by the assemblage. She re viewed the work of other libraries of the state and the methods of financ ing the operating expense and the approximate cost of the same. She stated in the course of her remarks that there were only two towns in the state with a population of 2,000 or over without libraries, and only seventeen towns with a population of 1,000 that were without libraries. Miss Templeton went into the many details thoroughly and her her re marks cleared up several points on which the meeting as a whole did not entirely understand. She was followed by Mr. Basset, of Gibbon, who gave an interesting talk on the benefits to be derived from the library, its value to rural schools, and dwelt especially on the benefits the farmers could derive from the same. By filing the bulletins issued by the government department of agriculture and the bulletins sent out by the state experiment stations the farmer at all times has access to many formulas and results of experi ments. Mr. Basset’s remarks were well received and had considerable in fluence on the sentiment of the meet ing. Dr. S. A. Alien, cnairman oi me meeting, then made a short talk, sup ported with facts and figures, outlin ing the situation as it pertained to Loup City and the township. John W. Long then made the motion that the township vote the maximum levy (3 mills) for library purposes for the maintenance of a library. The motion was quickly seconded, a rising v.->te <alled for, and it was unani mously carried. The idea of a Carnegie library origi nated with the Ladies' Unity club and has been supported by the Com mercial Club and other citizens, and it shows that when the people of Loup City and vicinity want something and all get together and work together that they can get what they want. The 3-mill levy will mean about $1,950 for maintainance of the library for the first year, and as the amount donated by the Carnegie Corporation is in a measure guaged by the amount levied for maintainance, it will pro bably mean that we will have a build ing that will cost $8,000 to $10,000. The expense of a site will have to be borne by the citizens and no doubt will be raised by popular subscription and by a series of entertainments by the Unity club. It is said that John W. Long has offered two lots where the tennis court now is for about one half the value of the same, and also that some other lots are offered for much less than the market vjalue. The application to the Carnegie Cor poration has already been sent in and in a short time a library board will be appointed to work out the details. On the same morning Arcadia and the township also voted unanimously to take advantage of the offer of the Carnegie Corporation. _t FASHION SHOW POPULAR Something new was handed to Loup City last Friday and Saturday when Pizer & Co. and the Busy Bee Hat Shop had their formal spring open ing of millinery and ladies ready-to wear garments. Ordinarily the spring openings of ladies’ furnishings have been events of much interest, but this year the latest creations in hats and gowns were displayed on life models, with the result that the store was crowded throughout the two evenings and day of the display. The store was decorated beauti fully, and Miss Kitty Owens presided at the piano and furnished music throughout both evenings and Satur day afternoon. Misses Hattie Froeh lich and Ruth Levy were assisted in the display of the hats and gowns by Misses Frances Hansel and Tina French. A large and magnificent dis play of hats and wearing apparel was admired by the many visitors to the fashion show, fully 500 passing through the store during the opening day. The show was certainly a success from every standpoint of view as was attested by the large attendance and the many sales that were the result of the display. Loup City is to be congratulated on having a firm that has the enterprise to advertise its stock in this manner, and many favorable comments were heard from the visitors regarding the decoration of the room and the admirable man ner in which the visitors were treated. rittoi DAD Y.
