I ---- I Cp to the present time the country i as a whole has been practically sleep ; :ng with regard to the war. But we i will awake with a sudden start when 'the selective draft begins to draw our town sons and brothers to the trenches j There will be no lack of interest from then- on. Once thoroughly aroused to [ the seriousness of the situation, the 1 American people will wade in with j sleeves up and stick until the last j dog is hung. Rev. H. S. French and wife arrived here from Denver. Colo., to visit with Mr. French's parents. Mr. and Mrs. C H. French and Mrs. French's brother. Willis. Holcomb and wife, and other relatives. Rev.

Mr. French worked here at the printers trade in both the Northwestern and Times of (ices many years ago. This is the first visit to Loup City in three years. The graduation exercises held at the i opera house last Thursday evening ; was attended by a large crowd and , the speaker “Sunshine" Dieterieh of Lincoln, delivered a very pleasing ad dress, though not vei^ forceful nor in structive. being mostly in a humorous vein. The class consisted of twenty three young men and women, whose future doings were chronicled in last week's Northwestern. G. W. Collipriest presented the diplomas and Superin tendent Bitner made a few well chosen remarks to the class before the presen tation of the diplomas. Jack Amick | won the class honors. — Jack Amick is now working for ! Unde Sam. having accepted a position i with a government surveying outfit I that are surveying the railroads of i the state. Jack went to Sargent Mon day night to take up his new duties I From there he will go on the main | line of the Burlington and work up j through Wyoming and Montana. The ! position pays $fiO a month and all ex I penses, including washing, etc., and j offers every opportunity for advanee j ment. Jack will make good and we S expect to see him in the very near fu | ture, advanced to a high position. The j job was offered several Loup City youths, before Jack was offered it. but they would not accept it, probably not liking the idea of getting so far away from their mammas. There are a few rich young men who are deserving of special commenda tion. At the reserve officers’ training camp in Illinois it was discovered that quite a number of young men with ! out means were in danger of having to return home for lack of funds to continue their course of instruction. Hearing of this, the young men of wealth in the camp quietly dug down. I handed a large sum to the mess of | fleer with strict injunctions of secrecy as to names, and as a result a number of brilliant young men of limited means will continue to serve their ! country- This action is quite in con trast to that of the long haired Wil | lies who tear around the country with 'American flags conspicuously display j ed on the front of their automobiles PARK OPENING JUNE 7. Park opening will be on Thursday, lJune 7. this year. Mr. Jenner has been 1 working all winter and spring in mak i ing improvements at the park and the j visitors at the park this spring are I all of the opinion that it is in better J condition than ever before. Pretty ! flowers and foliage are in abundance. The collection of curios has been ad ded to and many articles of great in terest are on exhibit for the edifica tion of the visitors. Many new animals and birds have been added to the col lection, or menagerie, at the park. Bigger and better even- year is evi dently Mr. Jenner’s motto in regard! to the park, and as a place for rest and recreation it cannot be excelled in any town the size of Loup City. On park opening day music will be j furnished by the Loup City band all j day. Dancing in the evening, and vari ' ous sports and contests will be con ducted during the day. All the sur rouding towns will be well represent ed here on park opening day and something will be doing all the time to entertain the crowd. OLD RESIDENT IS DEAD William Henry Hughes was born ir Scott County. Indiana. May 12, 1m He moved to Iowa at the age of eight years. There lie grew to manhood and was united in marriage to Alice E. Bowers. September 10. 1S71. Mr. and Mrs. Hughes moved to Clay county. Nebraska, in the fall of 1S72 where they homesteaded and continued to reside until April. 1902 when they mov ed to their farm at Wiggle Creek. Lat they <ame to Loup City and made er they came to Loup Citiy and made iheir home. Mr. Hughes was taken ill on the stree last Saturday afternoon. He was taken home and the doctor called, but love and skill were powerless to prolong his life and he passed away Sunday morning May 27. 1917. aged 09 years and 15 days. The departed leaves to mourn his loss; his wife and seven children, also one brother and four sisters. The chil dren are: Mrs. Nancy A. Burt of Loup City. Mrs. Leora A. Wilson of Kimbal. Nebraska. Mrs. Minnie J. Pielstici-: of Glenville. Nebraska. Lester, who died in infancy. James W„ who died June 6. 1904. Homer AY., of Loup City. .Airs. Emma C. Daddow. Airs. Clittie AI. MeFadden and AYinifred AA'.. oi l/oup City. All the children and the brother were present at the funeral. Brother Hughes joined the Aletho dist Episcopal Church when he was fourteen years of age and through the years has continued to live a true and loyal follower of the Christ. He was also a member of the Ancient Or der of United AA’orkmen. It is not required that we should multiply words concerning one so widely and favorably known in this vi ciuity. A'ou hear it in the homes, over the phone, on the street and in the church. "I have great respect for Air. Hughes." The main thing after all is that he lived daily so that he would be ready to go when the summons came. And when it came so unexpect edly he was ready to answer the call to “come up higher..". AVe could not afford to lose him. but our loss is hea venly gain. Air. Hughes and his wife have been among the most faithful at tendants upon the means of grace, and while he will be most truly and sadly missed from the home, he will be greatly missed from his accustomed place in tha house of God. And to the bereaved loved ones: How blessed is a saving faith i;i Christ in this hour. \\Te know you fe •' in your hearts the assurance that tin heart of your heavenly father and the hearts of the great company of peo pie who have gathered to expre.. their sympathy and respect, go on to you in your great grief. You mnurr not as those who have no hope. As the months and years go by these sons and daughters will feel just a littl taller, just a little prouder because of a worthy father’s love and service. His life and love will touch and soften the rugged pathway of your life until for you also, it will be sunset in this world and sunrise in the great eterni tv. Truly this is an ideal sunset at the close of nearly three score years and ten. God has been \;ery gracious to this home. Husband and wife liavt been spared to each other through all these years with good health and good success in life. They have brought up their children in the Chris tian way and have seen them com fortably established in their own homes, most of them not far away AA'hile we say good-bye for a little while with regret, yet it is with rejoic ing; knowing that this good man has entered into an inheritance, incorrup tible. undefiled and that fadeth not away, and that his loved ones have the comforting presence of the Saviour in their hearts and homes. The funeral services were held at the house and at the Alethodist church. Tuesday. May 29. 1917. at 2 o'clock, conducted by 'he pastor. A’incent R. Beebe. The fioral tributes were very beautiful. The selections sung by the quartet were very comforting. The body was laid to rest in A’erduette cemetery at AYiggle Creek.—Contributed. CARD OF THANKS. We desire to express our heartfelt thanks to all who so kindly rendered assistance in the illness and death of our dear husband and father; for the many expressions of sympathy and the beautiful floral offerings and to the A.

Concrete bases will be erect ed to place these "turn to the right, drive slow signs” on and will improve the looks of them greatly, as they are too low without the bases. Secretary Redfield says “there is no ground for alarm” about the food question. There will be. though, if the ground is not worked. If all of the “farmers” were to go to the farms this summer there would be many an office for rent. But not vours, of course. Boost for our local county fair.

ZOCHOLL, Manager St. Paul, .... Nebraska BIG FIRE AT ROCKVILLE Rockville was the scene of a very bad fire last Friday morning when the big general store of L. C. Weaver was completely destroyed. Mr. Weaver and ; family occupied rooms at the rear of [ the store and saved very little of their I household furniture. The building was owned by Mr. Woten. The building was insured as also was the stock of goods, the amount of insurance we ; cannot state, as we have not been in ! formed as to the amount. The post office was in the store find was also completely destroyed with all the mail that was in the building at the time. The cause of that fire is not known. Mr. Cords, who lives across the street first discovered the fire be tween three and four a. m. and awakened the Weavers, who were asleep. The fire had gained great headway when discovered and it was too late to save any of the stock of goods, most of the work being direct ed towards saving the adjoining build ings and getting out what household goods as was possible. Mr. Weaver will undoubtedly start up again in business at Rockville and no doubt a new building will soon be erected on the site of the old one. as it is one of the best locations in town. A heavy rain commenced to fall dm ing the fire and this made it much easier to keep the fire from spreading Otherwise there might be a different story to tell. Road to Happiness.
