I have just returned from a two weeks’ camping trip up in the sand hills with my family and sister, Abbie, from Sioux City. We had one of the finest times. There was over four inches of rain up there in the two weeks we were there. All the way north after you get five miles out of Loup City, the corn is just great. The sand hills has the best corn I have ever seen. Felix Makiwski, just south of Arcadia, has one of the best crops we saw on our trip. We caught all kinds of fish and lots of them, but I am glad to be back at work again. It is nice to take a trip but one is always glad to get back again. Now patrons, it is only a few days until our fourth annual rural route picnic and parade. Let every one put their shoulders to> the wheel and make it a success as it has been in the past. Everything will be along the line of hard times and there ought to be lots of funny get up through the en tire parade. I wish you who have autos would rig them up to represent different things. Decorate them up with the different kinds of farm pro ducts. Th route two picnic and par ade will be for route patrons only. No one will be admitted to the main park or ball park except route patrons. Please do not ask to get your friendu admitted for if one is admitted all ought to be admitted. If a party is working at your home or visiting you you can bring them and they will be admitted. The girls club on Wiggle Creek will render several fine selec tions in the vaudeville theater in the afternoon. Eugene Patton and Bert Kay will pull off several stunts. Bert will ride two fast bucking ponies that day. Remember this is your day and is costs you nothing except a well filled basket. The parade forms at W. O. Brown's at 9:30 o’clock and leaves Browns at 10:30 sharp. Please try to be on time so we can get to the park early and get dinner over so the afternoon program can be started early. Remember the picnic and pa rade will be held on the first Monday in September, rain or shine. Don’t let the rain keep you away. If it is too wet for the parade and picnic 1 will get the opera house of Art Young. All rural route carriers and their fami lies in the county are invited to come. Also carriers and their families in the adjoining counties are invited. TO GIVE AWAY PREMIUMNS. James Bartunek has an announce ment of the fact that he is going to give away another batch of free prem iums to his customers on the Satur day before Christmas. Everybody knows that Jim does not do things by halves and a look at his ad on the last page of The Northwestern shows that the premiums offered this time are prizes that are valuable. Jim an nounces that all his leather stock was bought before the advance in prices and that his customers will find no advance in his prices. These drawings of Mr. Bartunek’s have increased in popularity as everything has been strictly on the square and there has been no dis satisfied customers. The coupons, as - usual, will be given on all purchases, large or small, and will also be given on book accounts. Watch the Bar tunek ads from week to week and make your hardware and harness pur"- i chases at his store. Downing Chariton left Monday for a trip through the w-estern part of the 1 state, looking over the country and towns with a view to finding a loca tion for his brother. Dr. Cecil Chari- ' ton, who is now in Los Angeles, Cal ami who expects to move back to Ne braska in the near future. According to all reports, the west coast is not i enjoying any particular streak of prosperity this year, and there will probably be quite an exodus from the land of sunshine and flowers. Clarence Peterson spent Monday in Grand Island.

The Chautauqua has come and gone, and with it the usual amount or praise and the usual number of kicks. Probably there fs some justification for some of the kicks, as many of the numbers apparently did not give the satisfaction, some of those who have, attended chautauquas at other places maintaining that the program as a whole was far below the standard of what it might have been. The lectures by Adrian M. Newens, we understand, were very well re. ceived, but the prelude to the same, the Bonnie Brooks company, could have been omitted without in the least effecting the program. The Mili tary Girls had a pleasing program and their act was well received. They are not new to this town and many who have heard them before say that their act this time excelled their former appearance. The speakers generally were well spoken of and appear to have given satisfaction, although there is such a diversity of opinion when it comes to entertainers of this class that it is almost impossible for a speaker to please his entire audience. The Homeland Quartett opened the program and, aside from the fact that they couldn’t sing nor act like sing ers. gave a good performance. How ever. on the last day, to make a de cided contrast between the first and last days, Thurlow Lieurance’s All American band played two concerts that cannot be spoken of too highly. •ui. L,icuiance nas an organization oi which he may well be proud, the en tire band being composed of musi cians of ability. The program was varied enough to please all. and the songs of the quartet were repeatedly encored. No matter how bad the rest of the program might have been, Lieurance and his band are strong and talented enough to offset the de ficiencies that appear before his or ganization. On the last day a meeting of the guarantors for the next year’s Chau tauqua was held and a permanent or ganization effected, with B. G. Travis, president; A. E. Chase, secretary and treasurer, and J. P. Leininger. Win. Larsen and E. T. Beushausen, board of directors. Mr. and Mrs. Morris Hassel and little daughter, were in Loup City last Wednesday to have some dental work done for Mrs. Hansel, who has been bothered with the toothache. Miss Ruth Levy returned from Hastings Monday, where she spent several days visiting with her par ents, Mr. and Mrs. M. Levy. Miss Eugenia Patton came up from Austin Wednesday for a few days’ visit with her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. M. C. Mulick. Catherine, Harriet and Burdette Taylor, of St. Paul, came up Wednes day to visit their cousin. Miss Lucile Taylor. The Misses Elizabeth Anderson and Retta Gasteyer went to Ashton to visit relatives and friends, Wednes day. Misses Esther Hunt and Polly Mc Mullen, went to Arcadia, Tuesday, to spend a few days visiting with rela tives. Mrs. Gould returned to her home at Aurora Wednesday, after a short visit at the Herb McLaughlin home. Mrs. Moncel Milburn, of Arcadia, spent Tuesday in Loup City, visiting at the W. D. Garner home. Mrs. J. H. Panter. of Holyoke, Colo., is here visiting with her neice, Mrs. C. M. Bitner, and family. Miss Emma Peterson arrived hero from Lincoln, Saturday, to spend a few days with relatives. Miss Anna Michalek came up from David City, Monday, to visit with her sister, Mrs. Tony Johns. Earl Daddow visited with relatives at St. Paul this week.

On the last page of The North western will be found the announce1 ment of the fall opening of the Busy Bee Hat Shop and Pizer & Co.'s i eady-to-wear ladies’ apparel. The millinery offering is exceptionally strong this season and Miss Froeh lich’s many customers will find a dis play of the late styles that are bound to excite their admiration. The mil linery creations are especially attrac! tive this season and Miss Froehlich can always be depended upon to have nothing but the very latest styles in her offerings. Pizer & Co. also announce that they have received a large number of the newest things in fall suits and desire that the ladies of Loup City and vi cinity call early and make their se lections. Almost everything for the ladies in ready-to-wear garments can be found in this stock and you are sure to find something that will please you. SUPERVISORS MEET. The board of county supervisors were in session on Monday and Tues day of this week, disposing of con siderable business and making the levies for the coming year. The county levy is one-half of a mill larger than last year, the state levy being seven-tenths of a mill less, therefore the county and state taxes this year will be about the same as last year’s. A number of claims against the county were allowed and several road petitions were heard and ordered pub lished. The county levy of fourteen and onei half mills includes a five mill levy to create a court house fund. A new court house for Sherman county is now assured and though it will be some time before the building is erect ed, it will be greatly appreciated by all when the time does come. The supervisors adjourned to meet again on October 24. A STRING OF FORDS. On another page of The Northwest ern will be found a half-page ad an nouncing the early arrival of three carloads of Ford cars at the A. C. Ogle salesrooms and garage. Mr. Ogle states that he has several of these cars sold in advance and ad vises anyone wishng a car out of this lot to speak for it early as they are ; certain not to last long. The ship ment is made up of the 1917 models and the striking reduction in price will, no doubt, be quite a factor in I making speedy sates. The Loup City ball boys went to Farwell last Sunday with a patched up ball team and got the small end of the score. The game was devoid j' of any particular features. Prichard occupied the mound for -the first three , innings and. after six runs had been j made off his delivery, gave way to j Gilbert who allowed but one run, that being a home run drive over the cent er field fence. The score was 7 to 2. ■ T. C. Guyn, a member of the Bur- . lington surveying crew here met with an accident while coming in from work last Saturday evening which resulted in the loss of his index finger on the left hand. His hand was caught between two hand cars which bumped together. Dr. J. E. Bowman attended to the injured man, amputating the finger at the second joint. Judge A. L. Sutton, republican can didate for governor of Nebraska, will speak at Loup City on Friday evening at 8 o’clock, at the opera house. Come out and hear the political issues of the state ably discussed by Mr. Sut ton. _ Mrs. Nels Smith went to Cedar Rapids. Neb., Wednesday to attend the funeral of her sister-in-law, Mrs. Arbuthnot. Mrs. T. D. James and children came from Lincoln Wednesday to visit a few days with her cousin, Ward Ver Valin. Mrs. Wm. Powe went to Austin to visit with Mrs. Lulu Burke Wednes day. - . < 9gJ| AS THE EDITOR SEES IT There comes a time in the life of every editor when it is a genuine re lief to be able to confess his sins of omission—heavy on the ‘‘omission.” Right now you are preparing to read things “As the Editor Sees Them. ’ But you won't. And therein comes our sin of omission, for by the rule of “an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth” we should publish as we see. For instance— We might mention by name a strong hearty, robust man who is well pos sessed of this world’s goods, whose every personal want appears to be satisfied, who seeks the pleasures of the world and enjoys them himself. Then we might mention the frail little wife who patiently toils at home day by day, throughout the daylight hours and far into the night. We might tell the story of how she seldom has an hour to call her own, of how the grinding burdens of living have de generated into the bitterness of mere existence. We might tell the story “As the Editor Sees It,” and humanity would have but slight sympathy for the man. It would serve as a choice morsel of gossip, and might perchance bring a flush to the masculine cheek that ap pears never to have known considera tion or shame. But through consideration for the little tired and overburdened woman whosS life is being whittled away we ommit the editorial sin of “omission.” He was once dear to her, and, woman like, her heart may still cling to the brute who basks in the sunshine of life w'hile she writhes in the misery ot teglect. To publish the story in all of its ruel thoughtlessness and criminal in lifference would be but an act of jus tice and retribution. But, then, it vould bring shame and degradation to i wanning life whose burdens are al "eady too great for the frail body to aear. Hence our voice is stilled, our aen refuses to move, and the details )f the story are never told. Every editor commits like sins of emission, but he does so after calm tnd mature reflection. A story comes :o him in all of its sordiness and nultiplicity of filthy and disgusting letails. He must decide whether to send it forth to the world, to "speak is he sees and hears," or to enshroud t with the mantle of human charity or the sake of the innocent ones who vould be unjustly wounded and humi iated through its publication. He veighs both sides, acts as his heart ind his conscience dictates, and is him ielf the target of criticism from one fide or the other, regardless of what lis decision may be. If he publishes the story, the inno :ent sufferers and their friends term lim heartless and cruel. If the milk of human kindness flows in his veins and he suppresses the story, the scan dal ldvers are onto him in force be cause he has not emblazoned a choice morsel of gossip to an expectant world. We can recall instances wherein we have committed the sin of omission, and the culprit has swaggered around and conveyed the impression that we were afraid to tell the truth, when as a matter of fact we considered only those who would be unjustly dragged down with them in their degradation. But the most pitiful object on earth is the cuss who gets caught in his deviltry and then begs the editor ‘for the sake of his innocent family” not to print the story. And perhaps the “sin of omission” is not such a sin after all. DEATH OF MRS. MASON. Mrs. Kate A. Mason died Wednes day morning at the home of her son, William P. Mason, of Loup City, after an illness of several months. Mrs. Mason came here last Octo ber to make her home with her sons, W. F. Mason and O. S. Mason.
