April 18. — The great American public is realizing now more than ever the fact that our marine uorps maintains separate and dis tinct recruiting stations from the oth^r branches of our national defense anc! that although the marine goes to sea he is a soldier—not a sailor—and does not serve his country entirely on the ocean wave, according to Major Gen eral George Barnett, the command ant of the “Soldiers of the Sea.” The present crisis is causing many patriotic young men to investigate the different avenues in which they may protect the freedom which they enjoy, and those undecided as to w'ne ther they would "do their bit" as a soldier or a sailor are enlisting in the marine corps as a "Soldier and Sailor, too.” FOR SALE. Ten head of brood sows and one span of young mares. Also have for rent some land for corn this year.— V. T. Wescott. phone 9350 18-tf LOUP CITY MARKETS. Furnished by F. M. Henry.

Starr and Aaron Wall. Mayor R H. Mathew presided over the meeting in a very pleasing manner. The speeches were instructive and entertaining lamp City s fortunate in having some of the best talent in the state in that line. The boys who have enlisted from Loup City were represented by Cash Prick ard. who made a short address, than?; ing Loup City for its splendid demon drat ion and making a few other ap propriate remarks. Several Loup City boys have enlisted ip Company M. Ne braska National Guard at Grand Is land. in whose honor the fine publi. demonstration was given. One of the splendid features of th'■ meeting was the singing and the music given by the Loup City hand under the leadership of Prof. R X. Prichard Four veterans of the < ivil war and a number of veterans of the Spanish Amerioan war were present and lev ! ed enthusiasm to the meetings. The hall was \profusely decorated w-h flags and bunting. Delegations^-from a number of th neighboring towns were present and also Second Lieutenant Mast, of the IT.

Maus. of the Independent garage, left for Lin coln. telling his many friends here that he was going on business and would return in a day or so. Up to the time of going to press Mr. Maus has not returned and judging from messages received here by some of his friends we are inclined 4o believe that the trip was most important as they read that he was married last Thurs day to Miss Lucille Johnson of that j city. While the young tadv comes to us a stranger we feel that she must be a very refined and highly esteern , ed young lady to attract the atten tions of Mr. Maus and we join many others in extending to her a glad hand and in welcoming her to our city Mr. Maus is one of our most promising ' young business men and we are glad to join the many friends in wishing them many years of happy wedded , life. * Special Teachers' Examinations.

April 18—North Loup was very much excited early in the week when it was discovered that the flag which had been floating from the staff on the top of the school house for the past two months had been tak en down and no trace of it had been left. Everybody guessed what had be come cf it and surmised that certain individuals had appropriated it unto themselves. But as there were too many guesses and as none of them seemed to be the correct one a purse was raised and the Albion bloodhounds were sent for. They arrived late Mon day night and were immediately put to work. The trail was taken from the roof of the building and lead to where I he guilty parties evidently entered an I automobile. Later the trail was again I aken up about a block east of where it was lost and from then on it w clear enough. Suspicion began to point very clearly toward certain parties tnd in the morning two young men were summoned to apt ear before th*> f our village The flag is again floa’ ing over the building and in a few days the affair will be forgotten and we shall he looking for new excite ment. ' The bloodhounds which were work ing in our village this week certain lv know their business and seemed to be possessed of almost human in ’elligence. This is not doubted by the big crowd which watched them work Monday night. NEBRASKA PATENTS. Official list of letters patent of in vention issued from the United States Patent office at Washington.
