Yards at Loup City, Ashton, Rockville, Schaupps and Arcadia 200 STEERS If you have plenty of rough feed for cattle you will find no kind of stock more profitable than good quality two years old steers like theSe.

STEPHENS Candidate for Re-Election to the Of flee of County Attorney of Sherman County. FRESH CUT FLOWERS. Home grown at W. Pritschau’s. THE MACHINE IS BUSY. The democratic machine, controlled by Mullen, and supported by Omaha interests, absolutely indifferent to clean politics, is trying its best to de feat Kennedy for senator. The ma chine is doing everything in its pow er, deserting every other machine candidate, save Hitchcock, to defeat John L. Kennedy. Will the voters of Nebraska, and more especially for this community, stand for machine methods, or will they vote against machine control on next Tuesday. It is a battle between the machine and its powerful financial backing and the better class of citizens of Nebras ka, irrespective of politics. Mr. Voter, which side are you on? Your vote for Kennedy for United States Senator will put you in the class against the machine. t Gossip 1b the art of magnifying a lie into general belief. Try Chase’s first—it pays.

These three States have fif ty-two electoral votes and to gain :hem would make up for the loss of New York, which is virtually con ceded. We regard these democratic hopes as vain ones.

It certainly takes gall for Congress man Stephens to introduce Senator Hitchcock with an appeal for re elec tion on the ground that the president needs a staunch supporter in the sen a(e. As everybody knows, the senator has been fighting the president open ly or secretly all the time, and the president was never able to count on his support at any stage of the game. —Omaha Bee. There is an eight-hour law govern ing the labors of letter carriers. They may work no more than eight hours a day. They cannot work overtime, even if they do not demand pay for it. That is a real eight-hour law. The Adamson law for railroad men, which the president tries to describe as an eight-hour law, contains no such pro vision. It simply fixes eight-hours’ work for ten-hours’ pay as the basis of computing wages. If the Presi dent wanted a real eight-hour law, = why didn’t he turn to the postal laws E for his model? = The Hustler’s Class of the Presbv- E terian church held a hallowee’n party E Tuesday evening at the country home rk of Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Thompson. The rooms were decorated to suit the oc- = c-asion. A large crowd was present and J| various games and music were in- = dulged in. __ At a late hour supper was — served after which toasts were given E by several of the members.

E SPECIAL - WITH CLANSMAN GROUP. When David W. Griffith started the = outdoor staging of the Civil War and ~ reconstruction scenes in “The Birth of = a Nation.” which will be shown at the j ~ Garland Theatre. Loup City. November = 8th and 9th. he was confronted with = seemingly insuperable difficulties. An = area of private war was required E about as large as the corner of Bel- E gium occupied by the Anglo-French E forces. Thousands of cavalrymen had “ to be shown, in an historic raid of the E North Carolina class. Their run was | E to be many, many miles on typical | E Southern sandy roads. Though an ao E knowledged wizard of the films. Mr. E Griffith is not a 'war lord,” with pow- E er to commander. E In this emergency, the county au- E thorities. ‘The Birth of a Nation," E producing locals were applied to. They E finally consented to mark off an area E of ten square miles for the use of E the horsemen. Along all the roads E within this area, the county commis- E sioners pasted notices forbidding all E traffic on “the day of days.” E Pedestrians were also warned off. E But the roads themselves did not look E southern. David Griffith handled this E difficulty with the authorities’ permis E sion by remaking such of the high- E ways as would come within the cam- E era’s eye. Many tons of sand and E gravel were spread by gangs of his E workmen. Landscape engineering E changed the look of the landscape to E the rounded hills, piny woods and E deep gullies of old North State. The = race of the northern clansmen to res- E cue their South Carolina brethren = took place on the appointed day, with- E out an accident or a flaw. After it E was over, Mr. Griffith’s men scraped = the sand off the macadam roads, took = down the signs, and life in the sleepy ~ countrside resumed its normal course „ It cost about $25,000 to do the trick— “ the producer thinks it was worth all E it cost, particularly after hearing the H enthusiastic comments of “The Birth If of a Nation” patrons on his work. fe SALE BEGINS FOR “BIRTH OF A I NATION.” 2 The sale of seats for ‘The Birth of H a Nation” began at the Rexall Drug | store Monday morning of this week. B Everyone wants to see “The Birth of h a Nation” and it looked for a while fl as though “everyone” was on hand to I secure a seat. There is no question | about Griffith’s wonderful creation I filling the Garland Theatre to its ca- i pacity at all four performances. The B opportunity is one too great to miss E and the people of Loup City and Sher- " man county are not in the habit of t FI tossing aside golden opportunities. Wednesday and Thursday of next week will doubtless register two of the big show days in the history of the city. Throughout the twelve reels in ‘The Birth of a Nation” every movement is interpreted by a mar velous musical arrangement played | by a symphony orchestra and the play fa and music are so closely allied that J one seems a part of the other. One £ must see and hear in order to realize fi tj>e immensity of it. ITS BEDTIME FOR STRAWBERRIES Its time to put your strawberries to bed for the winter in a heavy blan ket or straw just as soon as the ground is frozen hard enough to bear the weight of a wagon, says the hor ticultural department of the univer sity college of agriculture, Lincoln. Coarse straw or very coarse, weed free hay makes the best winter wrap for strawberry plants.
