HOME BOYS PATRIOTIC On Tuesday, Second Lieutenant Mast, of Company M. Nebraska Na tional Guard, Fifth Regiment, of Grand Island, was in Loup City and in a very short time five- of Loup City's young men had signed to appear at Grand Island next Monday to take the ex aminations and if passed to join Company M at once and to answer for duty when the fifth regiment is called. The boys who have so promptly answered the call of their country are. Cash Prichard, William Curtis. Dwight Willis. Irvin Rowe and Har old Hancock. Lieutenant Mast returned to Loup Cityr today (Thursday) and up to em press time has signed two more of our young men. The latest recruits being Lelon Lofholm and Clarence Petersen. The boys are all anxious to do “their bit” and serve our country in time of need and their prompt action is highly commendable. We believe all will pass the required examinations successfully'. APPEAL TO YOUNG MEN The United States Army in a com munication to certain officials of our city authorities the following state ment in the matter of recruiting for the' United States Army: "There is but one answer for young men, who are unmarried and who have no one dependent on them for support, to give to the President’s message. They should go to the nearest recruit ing station and get in line to perform their share of the work before us.” “Will you see that every young man in your town is informed that the United States Army has a recruiting sation at Grand Island. Nebraska.” (Recruits may also enlist at all post offices.) "After an applicant is accepted a* Grand Island all of his expenses will be borne by the government.” WHEAT BADLY DAMAGED. About sixty per cent of the wheat in the state is reported dead. Most of this vast acreage will be planted to corn, oats and spring wheat, where seed is available. The average of wheat dead in Sherman county is about the same as throughout the state, and the fields are being mostly replanted to spring wheat. VOTED AS INSTRUCTED. Congressman M. P. Kinkaid in forms the Northwestern that the con trolling consideration with him in vot ing against the war resolution was the letters, telegrams and petitions sent him to the effect that the sentiment of his constituents was overwhelmingly against war declaration. Two hundred and fifteen United States marines from Haiti and Santo Domingo were landed Saturday in the Virgin Islands, formerly the Danish West Indies, to form the first United S ates garrison in this newly-acquired island possession. In peace or war theee "Soldiens of the Sea” have ever been first in the protection of American interests and property on land or sea. even before we had an army or navy. Having been stationed ashore guarding American legation^ abroad and the naval stations in our many island possessions for years, the garrisoning of the Virgin Islands is no new duty for the marines.

OUR FLAG OUR COUNTRY AT WAR The United States last Friday ac cepted Germany’s challenge to war and formally abandoned its place as the greatest neutral of a world in arms. President Wilson at 1:18 (official time! o'clock Friday afternoon signed the resolution of congress declaring the existence of a stare of war a:c’ authorizing and directing the chief executive to employ all the resources of the nation to prosecute hostilities against the German governmen to a successful termination. The- act was done without ceremony and only in the resenee of members of the presi dent's family. Word was Cashed im mediaely to all army and naval sta ♦ions and to vessels at sea and orders for further precautionary steps were dispatched. By proclamation the presi dent announced the state of war, calling upon all citizens to manifest their loyalty. Complete mobilization of the navy calling all reserves and militia to the colors, was ordered by Secretary Daniels as soon as the war resolution was signed. The war department, al ready having taken virtually every step contemplated before the raising of a real war army is authorized, waited on congress. Secretary Bak°r conferred with Chairman Dent, of the house military committee, and arrang ed to appear before the committee tc discuss the genera! staff armv plans and consider the war budget of more than three billions. The president went over the great preparatory measures with the cabi net. discussing what has been accom plished. and dwelling, it is understood upon arrangements for coc/>erati»n with the entente allies against the common enemy. Plsn^ for cooperation are said to have taken very definite shape, though there will be no an nouncements on the subject for the present. The seizure of German skip* laid up in American harbors was the subject of interested comment, and legal officers of the government began consideration of the question whether the United States can confiscate the ships outright or must pay for them after the war. In any event as socn as they ran be made seaworthy the fire merchant fieet thus acquired will give Amerira a merchant marine th.v could not he duplicated in several years and add more than 600.000 tc the tonage amiable for the transpor tation of shpp'.ies and mhnitions tc the allies.

He furnishes his own road drag and he uses it too. If every one were in the same state of mind as he. there would he less “chuck holes” in the roads. Why not change our disposition and everybody help. I'm “game." Are you? And remember that dragging roads does not benefit the automobiles alone but helps im mensely for the horse drawn vehicles as well. UNIQUE PLAN OF ADVERTISING Large “Go to Church” Signs in Many Colors. A unique effort in the direction of advertising churches and their work is being undertaken In Grand Island on the initiative of Rev. A. A. Smidt, of the Presbyterian churrh. and Rev. J. G. Shick. of the Trinity church, and several other pastors. This advertising is in the form of a “Come to Church” bulletin, which is being erected in various states, of which is it aimed to put at least twenty-hve in Nebraska. The bulle tin is 10 by 20 feet, is made of steel, and is supported well above the build ing upon which it is placed by heavy steel rods. It is furnished by the Leo nard Fowler Bulletin service, and the American Advertising company of Des Moines. Other towns in the state which are makiug the arrangements to place these bulletins are Nebraska City, Tecumsek, Plattsmouth. Ashland and Blair. The bullletin is to remain in its place for three years, and in each year one of its features is to be a painting of a biblical scene. The first picture represents" a large crowd en tering a beautiful church with the in vitation "The Churches of Grand Is land Welcome You,” in big letters above the picture, which is done in twenty colors. Also the text "For What Shall it Profit a Man if he Gain the Whole World, and Lose His Own Soul?" The maintenance of the sign, it is planned, will be by business men who agree to pay five cents each day, and their names are to be painted on one end of the bulletin in letters large enough to be read from thes treet. The second year there will appear on this sign the famous picture of Ruth and Xoami. This pieure will be in twenty-two colors, and also be dis played by a flood of elecric lights, which makes it very fascinating. The following words, suitable to the pic ture will be painted on it: "Whither Thou Goest. I Will Go,” The third year, the famous picture, “The Prod ical Son,” by Hoffman, will be dis played from the board. Rev. Smidt, recently of Iowa, in which state these signs were first placed, caused an inquiry to be made, and Mr. Fowler was in the city yes terday with the view of placing the signs. No location has as yet been selected, though several are in place, and if the contributions of the busi ness men are sufficiently generous, two or even three of the signs may be erected in this city. The matter has been taken up with the commercial club. CHOOSING WALL PAPER. 1 Harmony, uuobtrusiveness. and lightness—these are three cardinal points to be kept in mac in selecting wall paper, according to the head of ’he house economics department of the state university. “Each room should have a predomi nating color,—one that will harmo nize with adjoining rooms,” says she. “Wall paper should be iuconspicuous in color and design, since wall sur faces are large and since they serve as backgrounds for iotures and fur niture. Such papers are restful, and ney harmonize readily with various olors and designs or room furnish ings. “Unless your room is very light, do not use dark paper as it absorbs oo much light. Dark walls cause large light bills.” “TENTING TONIGHT.” Mary Roberts Rinehart has contri buted to the May issue of Cosmopoli an Magazine a brilliant article en titled ‘Tenting tonight.” In this nar rative Mrs. Rinehart tells the story of her wonderful trip to the great North western Rockies, and tells it in such a fascinating manner that the reader's interest is held from beginning to end. The article is illustrated with a number of remarkable photographs taken on the trip. LOUP CITY NEWS NOTES. Horn, to Mr. and .Mrs. () L. Sum son, April 9. a daughter.
