Much of our future success in this
country depends upon our ability to
keep our young men on the farms
and away from the cities. Statistics
show that the farms are gradually be
coming depopulated and the cities
are being overcrowded, with from
two to five men waiting for every
job. If our young men would stick
to the farms, and improve and develop
the uncultivated acres, it would be
only a question of time when the
wealth of this country would be
doubled and trebled. Bright lights
and white ways appeal to the young
eye, but they do not feed empty atom
ache. The farm is a good place to
be and far better place to stay.

The third annual graduating exer- "

will be held at Jenner’s park in Loup
City on June 17. A big picnic dinner

gram will commence at 2 o’clock.
State Superintendent Thomas will be
present. The eighth grade gradua
tes in this county this year number

"Knocking the knocker” is a pas
time which apparently affords us
much satisfaction, if not amusement. =
Every town has its knocker, and just *
as sure as he gets out his hammer he
finds the oportunity maul pounding
away at him. It is a case of the sur
vival of the Bttest, and ofttimes the
professionel knocker is the worse
knocked of all. Some knock from the
love of lit, others from habit, while a
few, it seems, knock from the pure
cussedness of it. In any case they
knock, and, likewise, they are prompt
ly knocked in return. Knocking,
forsoth, is a great game, and every
body plays it these dayB. We, in fact,
are doing a little of it ourself.

The annual school meeting held on _
Monday June 12, developed into
quite an interesting meeting before
the day was over. 242 votes were cast
for new members of the school board.
Four candidates were in the field, D.
D. Grow, G. W. Colliprlest, J. W.
Long and Win. Larsen. D. D. Grow
received 135 votes and G. W. Colli
priest 125, these two gentlemen be
ing elected as the new members of
the board. Mr. Larsen received 100
votes, Mr. Long 117. The school
board has been deadlocked for some
time upon the appointment of city!
superintendent of schools and it is
said that the matter will stand as
formerly when the two new members
go onto the board, but as. to the truth
of this statement we are unable to |
verify.
The annual park opening at Jen
ner's park was observed as advertised
last Thursday. A large crowd was
in attendance and everybody ap
peared to have a good time. A fine
merry-go-ronnd afforded plenty of fun
for the kids and also the grown-ups.
The ball game between the Ashton and
Arcadia teams was one of the best
games played in Loup City for a long
time. Ashton started out well in the
first inning, making three scores but
were unable to make another score
and lost the game by a score of 4 to 3,
the Arcadia boys making three runs
in the seventh inning. These teams
were very evenly matched, and the
game was witnessed by a large crowd, j
The day at the park closed with fire
works and a big dance. All the sur
rounding town* were well represented
and the day goes down in history as
another big success. The fourth of i
July will be celebrated at the park.
It is a pleasant place to spend a holi- ]
day and plenty of entertainment willI
be provided tor all on that day. 1
