VOLUME XXXV. 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.
