1 Railroads and State to Helo Farmers.
R. H. Potter, a representative of the
Burlington railway company, was in
Hazard Saturday afternoon to aid
in the organization of a seed and labor
bureau. Cane, millet and other forage
crop seeds have been very scarce and
high in price this spring making it al
I most impossible for the farmers to
!secure these such needed seeds at a
! reasonable price. The Agricultural De
I partment of the Burlington inspect
! all seed and in all cases have been
! able to buy from 10 per cent to 25
per cent cheaper than the farmer
could buy from seed houses.
Alliance Pinto beans are 15 cents
per pound f. o. b. Denver. Colo. Any
one wanting seed of any kind should
report to C. W. Trumble. Hazard. Neb.
and every effort will be made to sup
ply same. An effort is being made
to secure a car of cane seed for this
vicinity. In regard to labor it may be
said that the state and the railroad
company are working together. A
state labor bureau has been establish
ed at Lincoln and a county bureau at
Loup City. Any farmer wanting help
I should report it in order that an ef
fort may be made to supply him.
The late weather conditions will nc
: doubt make it necessary to replant
! considerable corn and seed is liable
I to be scarce. Any one having a surplus
| should report it because some one

TO LOUP CITY ELECTRIC LIGHT
CONSUMERS.
Loup City, Neb., May 31, 1917.
There has been some agitation about
electric light rates in Loup City: We
have carefully figured over our invest
ment in the business, and amount of
expense we are to each motnth, and
considering that our fuel oil, costs
nearly double what it did about a year
ago, as well as all other material ;
which we buy, and labor now worth:
more than it used to be, we find that ■
we are not going to be able to reduce j
our rates as much at this time as we 1
had hoped to do. and leave us a fair
renumeration to cover depreciation,
and interest on our investment. If we
could give service as many towns of
this size do. and as our franchise
calls for. Viz—from twilight until 12
p. m. and from 5 a. m. until daylight
we could make a much lower rate, but
when we give you continuous service
and you can use your lights at any
time, day or night, it causes us to
more than double our expense in cost
of running, and we do not take in over
25 per cent more money than if we
run according to the franchise. But
with our new machinery installed last
summer, we now have sufficient pow
er, and we desire to give continuous
service and as good service as pos
sible.
mere Has also been some discus
sion as to whether we are allowed by
law to charge meter rent to the pat
rons, who do not own their own met
ers. We (have had the opinion of
different lawyers upon this matter, and
they do not seem to agree, so iu order
to treat all of our customers as near
fair as possible, we have decided that
starting May 1, 1917, we will not
charge meter rent to those who have
not bought and paid for their meters:
This will make the minimum charge
to be $1.00 per month in the future in
stead of $1.25 as it has been in the
past. In addition to that in place of
charging the 20 cent rate according
to the franchise as in the past
with 10 per cent discount to those
wito paid cash we will make the dis
cout enough to those who will call at
our office and pay before the 10th day
of the month that their net rate will
be 17 cents. We will also put into
effect a sliding scale to those who use
large amounts of current. To our pat
rons who now own their meters or
who will buy them in the future, we
will give them 25 per cent discount, if
they call at our office, and pay their
bill before the tenth of the month fol
lowing the reading of their meters.
This will make them a net rate of 15
cents and a minimum charge of $1.00
With a sliding scale to those who use
large amounts of current. In addition
to this any of our customers who wish
to put in electric stoves, we will
make them a G cent rate for cooking.
They to buy their stoves and meters.
We hqpe that these reductions in
rates; which will mean considerable'
less income to us will be satisfactory
to our patrons.
Call at our office for rates made on
our new sliding scale.
Yours sincerely,
Loup Citv Light and Power Co.

NO SPRING SHOOTING.
State as Well as the Federal Law Now j
Makes it Unlawful to Hunt.
Even since the passage of the what
is known as the federal game law. |
which eliminated the spring shooting J
there has been considerable argument j
on the part of the sportsmen of the ]
state as to whether or not they had |
the right to hunt under the provisions
of the state law and pay no attention
to the federal provisions. Several of
the more ardent of the hunters paid
no attention to the federal provisions,
but hunted openly it being their opin
ion that the matter of the “state's
rights” took preference. The recent
session of the Nebraska legislature
however, left the spring hunter no leg
to stand upon the game laws of Ne
braska being so amended as to be in
conformity with ihe federal provisions
so far as the first of the year shoot
ing is concerned.
Hunters who have each year made |
goodly bags of doves and quail during j
the fifteen days of the open season. I
will do so no more, unless they desire |
to pay heavy fines, as these birds are
now protected the whole year round. I
The open season on prairie chickens j
and snipe has also been changed. The
most of the important changes are as;
follows:
S. F. 113, introduced by Senator
Adams of Dawes, was the vehicle used i
for making these changes. The senate!
tampered with the bill and when it
reached the house it was again doc-i
tored and when the bill received Gov-!
ernor Neville's approval it contained1
a provision repealing the open season j
for quail and doves. It is said the bill
now contains no mention of an open
season on plover. As these birds may
be considered game hirds. they are!
probably protected the year through
by the provisions of the bill applying
in general to game birds.
The bill makes the state law con
form to government regulations in re
gard to other water fowl. The old
state law permitted the shooting of
ducks and geese from September 1 to
April 5. The new law permits shooting
of these birds from September IS to
December 31. The bill contains an
emergency clause and is now in force.
The open season for snipe was for
merly from September 1 to May 1. If
is now from September IS to Decem
ber 31, the same as the duck season.
The open seasons now are as fol
lows: November 1 to November 15.1
This has been repealed and so has
the open season on doves and plover
rrom July 15 to August 31. Senator
Sawyer of Lancaster, offered the
imendment which closed the season on
doves.
The prairie chicken season, which
was formerly from September 1 to No
vember 30, is changed so that hunters j
mav try their luck from September 15 j
to November 15.
The open season for trout not' less j
than eight inches long remains the j
same, from April 1 to October 1. Toe
open season for bass not less than
eight inches long and all other fish
protected by law remains the same as
before from April 1 to November 15.
The open season now are as follows:
Ducks and gees-—September 15 and
ending December 31.
Snipe—September 16 and ending
December 31.
Chickens and grouse—September 15
and ending November 15.
Trout—April 1, ending October 1.
Bass and other fish—April 1 and j
ending November 15.
No open season on quail or doves
swans.whitecrane. Chinese pheasants
or any other game bird imported for
propogation.
The old law permitting the seining
of fish during June. July. August and
September on licenses issued by the i
chief game warden has been changed
somewhat. The game warden is given \
discretionary power to issue seining li
cense for the taking of buffalo, carp
and gar with seins of two-inch mesh, i
The game warden will probably de
cline to issue such license.
The seining law is amended in one
important respect. It no longer per
mits the seining of catfish.
Section 2679 of the statutes, relat
ing to unlawful possession or sale of
game birds and fish, has been amend
ed so that it is quite plain that cat
fish cannot be sold, for several years
the law has permitted the sale of cat
fish, but game wardens have endeav
ored to conceal the fact from the pub
lie by omitting the provision from the'
game laws printed for general cireu-;
lation. The amended law permits the
sale during the open season of game
birds or fish except sturgeon, buffalo,
carp, suckers, catfish and gar fish.
At the present express rate of speed
of the congressional slackers and
porkers and obstructionists we will
have any army of a hundred men in
France in about fifty years. Like the
jackass we do move.

Best Remedy for Whooping Cough.
“Last winter when my little bay ’
the whooping cough I gave hint Cham-1
berlain’s Cough Remedy.” writes Mrs.
J. B. Roberts. East St. Louis. 111. "It _
kept his cough loose and relieved him
of those dreadful coughing spells. It
is the only cough medicine I keep in
the house because I have the most
confidence in it.” This remedy is also
good for colds and croup.
Proper Food for Weak Stomachs.
The proper food for one man be all
wrong for another. Every one should
adopt a diet suited to his age and oc
cupation. Those who have weak stom
achs need to be especially careful and
should eat slowly and masticate their
food thoroughly. It is also important
that they keep their bowels regular.
When they become constipated or
when they feel dull and stupid after
eating, they should takq Chamberlain's
Tablets to strenghten the stomach and
move the bowels. They are easy to
take and pleasant in effect.
