LOUP CITY, NEBRASKA, THURSDAY, JUNE 29, 1916 NUMBER 28 BALL TEAM LOSE GAME The Loup City ball team went to St. Paul Sunday and played the last aggregation of that town. The boys made a very creditable showing and with a little more practice we believe they can defeat some of the best ones. The score was 13 to 11 and if our boys had not gone up into the air in the fourth inning and allow St. Paul to run in nine scores with two men out. would hove won the game by a big margin.

The committee appointed by the board of supervisors to rent suitable quarters for the clerk of the district court has rented two rooms in the upper story of the First National bank building for his occupancy. Furni ture and two new steel fire-proof cabi nets have been ordered and as soon as they arrive Mr. Bass, the clerk will move into hiB new quarters. Now three county officers are located in rooms outside of the court house be sides fire-proof vaults around town for the storing of the county records. As business increases a couple of more rooms will have to be rented. The county has also made arrangements with Hall county for the keeping of its prisoners, which will materially add to the expense, but something had to be done as the county jail cannot be used any longer. CORN BEEF NAMED. In an "Encyclopedia of Military Terms.” just published by Canadian troops serving in France, an old staple army article, corned beef, is given the name of “bully.” Members of the United States ma rine corps, who publish no encyclo pedia, call the same thing “canned Willie." and they point out that troops all over the world have different and expressive terms describing the tinned corn beef product. Our marines give no reason for their "canned Willie” version of the corned beef affair, other than that they try to be original in all things, and that, in going about the world in performance of duty, they learn what the other fellow is doing in a nicknam ing way and are thus able to keep right up to the minute. FINED FOR SPEEDING. Ira Hull, a traveling salesman, was picked up by Marshal Reynolds for speeding his auto on the streets of Loup City yesterday.

Following the reading of Colonel Roosevelt's letter reiterating liis de | clination of the nomination for the presidency and giving his unqualified : endorsement to Justice Hughes, the progressive national committeemen devoted a little time to an expression . of their inmost thoughts On the whole it was rather a lively funeral. A show of keeping up the fight was made in the attempt to secure the nomination of Victor Murdock for the presidency, hut everybody knew that the jig was up when the colonel [ stepped out. and there was nothing more to do but get the remains out of the way as expeditiously as possi ble and begin talking about something | else. Colonel Roosevelt s letter had been rather completely tipped off in ad vance through his numerous conver sations with his followers, and his at titude created no surprise. The re fusal of Mr. Parker of Louisana. who had been honored with the nomi nation for the vice presidency, to as sent to the burial of the progressive party can be marked down as coming from a genuine desire to see the third party succeed and not from a desire to run for office. The south is full of able and public spirited men who have become tired of the bossism of the democratic party and sincerely want to see it defeated. Because of its history and its necessary attitude on the race question the republican party cannot command strength enough in the old solid south to unhorse the democratic organization. When the .progressive party was founded these southerners rejoiced that at last a national party had been born. Mr. Parker and others who felt with him may be excused for showing some temper over the proposal to turn the progressive organization over to the republicans. • In the south that means another long period of democratic con trol. with political conditions of a dis couraging and demoralizing nature. To the progressives from the south the funeral of their party was a real tragedy. It had none of the comical features that appealed to the visibili ties of northern republicans.—State Journal.

Jac k's corn w as beaten down and ■ damaged, in the vicinity ot Austin • us were the fields of many others in | the same neighborhood. Alike Ale Keon’s ban: and windmill were blown 1 down. Mr. AlcKeon reports that ! seventeen windmills were torn down in his neighborhood. The crops iu most instances will come out alright, j though somewhat damaged. As corn is not very far advanced the damage will not he so great. Several small cyclones and tornadoes were reported throughout the county and a great many people took refuge in their caves. Citizens at Rockville on last Thursday evening witnessed a rather peculiar sight, as there were three separate attempts of a tornado to strike the little town. A twister conned immediately over the village and a tail descended downward. After whirling a moment it reascended. A tew seconds later it again came down a little farther than before, but again went back to the cloud from which it came. The third time it descended, however, it struck the ground on the place of Oscar Hanish, residing in the northeast part of the town. While the twister to look at appeared inno cent enough, its strength may be sur mised from the fact that seventeen truit trees were instantly uprooted and the windmill immediately went out of commission. Peculiar antics of the wind are re ported from all parts of the county. Hail in some parts of the county fell tor an hour and thirty minutes, most of the time coming down slowly and doing little or no damage. The storm on Sunday night lasted only a few minutes with but little hail. Vivid lightning accompanied the storm and some damage resulted from that source, lgnatz Janulewicz lost a mule and two cows by light ning and John Pointkowski lost one of his best horses. While the storm period is about over, it is believed that small dis turbances may be looked for until about the middle of the first week in July. LOUP CITY MAN APPOINTED. It is with pleasure that The North western announces the appointment of Col. E. A. Keeler as one of. the judges of the Wagon Horse Association of America, with headquarters at Kansas City, Mo. Tins appointment is quite an honor, in that it recognizes the ability of Mr. Keeler in the horse jud giug line and places him among the leading horse men of the United States. The object of this association will be to co-operate with the farmers ari l horsemen in establishing a new breed of horses to fill the missing link be tween the automobile and the draft horse. The wagon horse from a farmer’s standpoint, must have weight enough to pull the plow and not too heavy for the harrow and cultivator on soft ground. Active for the mowing ma chine and wagon and to take the plare of the auto on muddy or rough roads, and above all, must have flesh-carry ing qualities, thus having the com mercial value at any time the farm can spare him. Wagon horses for city use would include a group of which are used principally where the business re quires a quick delivery. Such horses must be closely coupled, compactly built, with plenty of constitution and stamina. They must be good actors, have a good clean set of limbs with good quality of bone and foot that will stand the wear of paved streets. In this ease are express, delivery' wagon, artillery and fire horses. All of these must have depth and rotundity of body, smoothness and finish of con formation and be of rich solid color (star in the forehead and one white foot preferable. Height. 15-1 to 15 hands, weight, 1,100, to 1.400 lbs. (Horses weighing 1.250 standing 15 2 preferable). Stallions to weigh 300 lbs. more than mares, 1.400 to 1,700 or_ 1.800 lbs., height, 15-2 to 16-2 (prefer ably w'eight 1.550 and 16 hands high). Stallions must be registered Percher on. Mares’ off-springs, thus registered, will be eligible when mated with regis tered wagon horses or registered Per cheron of above quality. No ances try requirements will be made in the selecting of dams for registration, it is quality that they want. It has been said that with horses very much de pends on the dam, far more so than with other breeds of stock, hence wa are particular in getting good quality with the dams. If you have an animal filling these requirements and wish to register same, write today for applica tion blanks to Mr. Keeler at Loup City. The registration fee is $2.00. due when animal has been accepted for registry. The road to success is a hard one to travel, but we’ll get there just the same if we keep right on stumbling along.
