Loup Qty Northwestern A LIVE NEWSPAPER PUBLISHED IN A LIVE TOWN VOLUME XXXV. LOUP CITY, NEBRASKA. THURSDAY, AUGUST 3, 1916 ' NUMBER 33 WASHINGTON LETTER Northwestern Bureau. Washington.: B. 0., Aug. 2.—The Jews of the United. States are moving forward along th.v lines of a program which demands full rights for their race in all lands, and the abrogation of all laws dis criminating against them. At a recent / conference a resolution was passed favoring the idea of a congress, which j should seek full religious, civil, and political freedom for Jews. The ac tivities of the congress will be restrict ed to these particular lines of en deavor. Justice Louis O. Brandeis of ^ ie United States Supreme court, is one of the leading champions of the movement, which has taken concrete form, and through his efforts and these i of Oscar S. Strauss and other promi nent Jews, a permanent “Conference fc - of National Jewish Organizations” has been formed. There has been a great deal published within recent months concerning the Zionist movement which contemplates establishing Jew ish colonies in Palestine at the close of the war. The same prominent He brews who are at the head of the pres ent movement for protecting the rights of their people in America and : other countries, are very largely .in terested in restoring a large part of Palestine to their own people, in the hope that in time they may gain through peaceful mea-'s an independ cut government of their own. The leaders of tiie movement believe that s ieh a movement is particularly rte s I ruble at this time on account of the large number of Jews of Europe who ' ill be homeless and friendless mi der the new order of conditions that v, iil come with peace. It may also be j ussible that a great many American J ws will desire to go back to the land of their fathers in case the Zionist movement succeeds. Justice Brandeis and the influential Jews who are acting with him. are proceeding upon the theory that there i.; radical discrimination against the Jews of America. and their efforts ore directed toward obtaining civil, re 1 gious and political rights, and in addition thereto, wherever the various '■copies of any land are recognized as V having separate group rights, the con ferring upon the Jews of the same kind of treatment and privileges, if desired by them. The Boys on the Rio Grande. Apparently nobody in Washington ever wanted a war with Mexico. Nev ertheless. the federal and state troops were pushed forward just as though it was intended to slaughter every body in the realms of Carranza and Villa. Now that the state troops are on the border their great anxiety tnems to be to return home. They are :v energetic a lot of kickers as America has ever produced. Since a great many of them are very influ ential, their protests are being head ed at the National Capitol, where senators and representatives are bus vy engaged in efforts to put an end to the holiday along the Rio Grande. Growth of the Postal Savings Bank. Recent reports of the post office de pnrtment show that there are 596,009 depositors in the United States, with approximately §80.000.000 standing to their eredi.t The principal growth of the government hanking institution js in the larger cities, where there is not so much confidence in the bankers, as exists in small communities, where the officials are mere intimately ob served by those who place their funds ;n their care. Moving Pictures. Propagandists are turning more and more to the moving pictures as the means of reaching the people, and the film known as "The Battle Cry of Peace" undoubtedly had a greater in fluence on the preparedness measure in congress, than anything that was written or said in the press or from ilie rostrum. The "movies” certainly make a hit with the public. Thomas H. lnee lias arranged a cinema-spec taole called “Civilization,” showing the horrors of war. The production is in reality a peace play, and in mag- j nificence there has never been any- i thing to excel it. Unlike “The Battle; Cry of Peace" Mr. Ince's production j is not propoganda. It is purely a i business venture. The sentiment ex- j ——1^——————^ pressed in this great film has sc captivated the people of the large cities that the production is classec as a big financial success. It will like ly be shown throughout the country and the people of the smaller town; will have an opportunity to see it. The Literacy Test. The common argument used against the legislation for a literacy test foi immigrants, is that in certain por tions of the country, notably Norti Carolina, there are thousands of peo pie of old American stock who have never learned to read or write. Tht American public hears of them onl> occasionally, and usually that it through the medium of moving pic tures or fiction writers. Deadly feud; like that of the Allen brothers ol Virginia, brings into prominence tht half-savage conditions surrounding the lives led by mountaineers. A recem newspaper item throws light upon the obscure conditions of a North Car olina town, where United State. money is seldom used. Pensacola i; a one-man town, and the mines, lum her camps, farm lands, and even tht railroad, is owned by one concern The business in the place is carried on by use of the company’s “scrip." 01 due bills, which take the place of cash at the company’s stores. The situa tion is so tight that a moving picture concern which recently visited Pensu cola and found it necessary to accept a script for admission. Afterward they had so much difficulty in cash ing the stuff that they nearly went stranded. Fish Eaters are too Few. J ne Department oi Commerce has instigated a movement in congress to regain the fish trade lost by American fishermen on account of the construe tion of the Canadian railways, and tb> subsidies granted by the Department of Agriculture, show that the Ameri can people are not making the proper use of fish as food, and that. whiL meats have doubled and redoubled in price, the great fish interests have not c-nly failed to keep pace with othei lines of industry; but have also been unable to secure the home market. A common illustration ' of this is shown in the fact that sardines and herring, sold in cans, usually bear the label of the Scandinavian coun tries. This, notwithstanding the fact that the American fish grow just as large and swim just as fast, and are equally as good to eat as the members of the finny tribe that come from the European waters. The governments of Germany and France have made campaigns among their people in or der to educate them in the use of fish as food. The same class of educa tional work that is now being done among the farmers of this country, was extended bV the European, to teach the people the value of fish. In the United States there is a very foolish notion that fish from the sea cannot be shipped but a very short distance inland. The trouble is that the government has not given suffi cient guarantee of the methods by which the housewife may feel any de gree of safety in supplying her hus band and brood with New England cod and halibut on a dining room table in Missouri or Oklahoma. But as the meat inspection service of the government becomes more efficient the revenues of the packing houses will decrease, and our fisheries will become more profitable and popular.

John Robinson's shows gave two1 performances in Loup City Tuesday. A large crowd was present in the af ternoon. but the evening turnout was not large. Those in attendance all spoke in the highest terms of the j performance, and the general cour- j j teous treatment received by them by the management. The entire performance was of the highest order, not a poor act on the program. The trained seals, in their balancing feats brought fortli much applause, as did the bicycle riding j of the baboons. The Nelson family , i of acrobats are probably unequalled : ' by any performers in the country and the crowd, by hearty applause j showed its appreciation of their act. j The high school horses also delight- j ! ed all lovers of gaited horses, the j : aerial acts weite there with their j | thrills and the w'ire and rope per- \ j formers, along with the bareback , f riders, were up to the standard of j | the larger shows. The afternoon crowd was estimat i ed at something over 3.000, the rain I of the night before preventing thrash I ing and allowing the farmers to be present. The show^ loaded shortly af ter the evening performance and went from here to St. Paul. NOTICE TO MOW WEEDS.

TO MY ICE PATRONS. To my ice patrons and the general public. The impression is being spread by someone that I am charging sixty cents per hundred for ice. To all my regular ice patrons, if they commence to take before the 10th of June it costs them 50 cents per hundred and all who started after that date it is 60 cents per hundred. Everybody starting after that day and just taking during the hottest weather ought to pay at least 10 cents per hundred more than those that take the five months. Now some who are paying 50 cents per hundred are giving out the im pression that they are paying 60 cents per hundred. Anyone tvho tells you this you ask them to iet you sec their ticket and if you can find any one regular ice. patron who 1 am charging over 50 cents. 1 will gi ,ie you J5. Remember anyone starting before the 10 of June is a regular patron. The month of July was the best ice month I have ever had. It true that your ice bills were high for the month .of July, but you did not say how low they were for the year. The month of May and June except the last four days of June, were very poor. There is always some one tak ing the joy out of life. Extra ice for ice cream is aiso 60 cents per hun dred. Thanking you one and all for your patronage during the past month and the past years.—Jas. W. Conger. Some men “know everything,” make a big noise, and get nowhere. Others know a few things, say little, and get to the front. Take your choice.

Miss Emily Steen’s Sunday school class are camping between Cob Creek and the river this week. The girls pitched their tents Monday morning. Rev. and Mrs. Dunn are also camping with them besides other visitors. To judge by the amount of pro visions consumed and thee ound of laughter and merriment they are cer tainly having a good time. WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO. Their unceasing wrork keeps us strong and healthy. All the blood in the body passes through the kidneys once every three minutes. The kidneys filter the blood. They work night #md day. When healthy they remove about 500 [ grains of impure matter daily, when unhealthy some part of the impure matter is left in the blood. This brings on many diseases and symp toms—which vary widely but may in elude pain in the back, headache, nervousness, hot. dry skin, rheumatk I pains, gout, gravel, disorders of the eyesight and hearing, dizziness, ir regular heart, debility, drowsiness, dropsy, deposits in the urine, etc. But if you keep the filters right the dan ger is overcome. Deane’s Kidney Pills have proven an effective kidney medi cine. James Johansen. Loup City, says: “I was in pretty bad shape with my back and couldn’t stoop or straight eu up without being in misery. Sha^p pains often seized me and I dropped to the ground. As soon as 1 began using Donne’s Kidney Pills, procured at Swanson’s Drug store, I coult te'd that 1 was being helped. They have never failed me. Price 50 cents at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doane's Kidney Pills—the same that Mr. Johansen had. Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y. MARKET WEEK, AUGUST 7 TO 12. Omaha. Neb., July 26—A decided innovation has been adopted by the committee in charge of Merchants' Market week. Instead of having daily sessions, all program events will be held during the luncheon hour, leav ing the morning and afternoon hours free to the merchants. Two good speakers will be secured to talk on i timely retail matters at each noon I session. The evening's will be full of ' entertainment, which will keep the merchants and their wives busy. ; Dates as settled upon are August 7 to 12. Monday evening the men will go to the Den while the women will he given a theatre party.

The tractor grounds are going to be in better shape than they were last year for the growing grain has already been cut and some of it has been thrashed. Last year one field and portions of others were not cut on account of the wet weather. The fields were plowed with the tractors which may have made more of a de monstration than otherwise. The Commercial club has the show well in hand and has apportioned the work of looking after the various details by appointing a number of committees with live wires on every one of them. The tractor grounds this year will be lighted with electricity which will meet with the approval of -til the representatives at the show and will materially show off the place at night. The city plant is geting ready to string the wires and make a distribution that will give each tent sufficient lighting. An effort is being made to have the Bell Tele phone company string wires on the same poles and furnish telephones for the exhibitors. Last year there was one phone on the grounds and that was a toll line and there was hardly a moment during the day or evening when it was not in use. If the company can be induced to in stall a number of instruments it will relieve the situation and aid the rep resentaives by giving them so much quicker service. Chairman John Gumb who has ‘ barge of the wrestling matc h has the contract signed by Champion Joe Stecker so there will be no slip-up in this section of the entertainment. At a meeting of the Commercial club it was decided to repeat the watermelon feature again this year and a couple of carloads of the lus cious green or red fruit will be on hand for the free distribution at the grounds immediately following the demonstration every afernoon. If the Fremont growers are able to supply the demand they will get the order if not they will be shipped I in. It bar been deci led To have .be i vet together session on Monday even- 1 iag. the opening night, when mem ' ers of the Commercial club and he representatives of the tractor and accessory people will have an oppor tunity of renewing acquaintances or getting acquainted. Just what the plan of entertainment whether it he a smoker, dutch lunch or a melon feed, has not yet been arranged. The fish bake which scored such a big success last ve&r will be co« tinued as a feature again and will the reason that Military avenue has been paved to that street and gives ftake place on Thursday nigh. This ! is especially for the visiting tractor people or those having exhibits on j club. j the grounds and members of the The transportation committee has laid out an official route to and from | the grounds and special officers will be detailed at the turns to see that all abide by the rule. Going to the | grounds the route will be Broad | street to Tenth. Tenth to Nye. Nye to Twenty-Second, thence to the grounds. Returning vehicles will be jsent south to the Morse Park road, to the Cemetery road, to Pierce stre-t and south on Pierce to Military avenue. The change to Pierce is for a better road and also detours from the road going out. Barrels' are to be placed in the intersection of Twelfth street with signs readim “keep to the right." Cement posts ordered by the city will not be ready at the time of the show. The prices to be charged are 25 cents one way. A new committee this year is one on sanitation. The grounds are to be kept in tip top shape, a clean-ui to be made every night. There wii! be water mains on the various streets and they will not be allowed to form mud holes as heretofore bn; will be taken care of. A manufa turing company is to have charge of the toilet facilities, a new system which it makes will be used. All concessions are to be handled by the club so that whatever profit accrues will go to it. A large stand will be built and divided into stalls. LET’S HAVE BOTH SIDES. In another column we publish a dis play advertisement of The Nebraska Prosperity League, printed at out regular advertising rates. While w are in no wise responsible for the statements, we believe that the voter are entitled to hear both sides oi every public question. In the mar gin of the advertisement wili be found the names of the officers and vice-presidents of the League. We aro told that they are prominent citizens of the communities in which they re side, and many of them are large property owners.
