PARK OPENING A SUCCESS
Park opening this year was a hum
mer To begin with Mr. Jenner was
fortunate enough to pick out an ideal
day. perhaps the best day as far as
weather is concerned that we have had
for a month. The attendance was 1800
The ball game between Ravenna and
Arcadia drew a big crowd. Ravenna
won the game by the score of 1 to 0.
It wa$ anybody's game up to the last
inning. Ravenna made their lone score
in the seventh inning and Arcadia
could not tie the score. Frankie pitched
for Ravenna and Durvea for Arcadia.
The Loup City band furnished excel
lent music all day and the dance in
the evening broke all records. The
mummy house proved a great attrac
tion. Mr. Jenner has added an Egyp
tian mummy to his collection and has
the house fixed up to resemble a cave.
It is very tastily arranged and great
ly pleased everybody.
Several birds of rare plumage have
been added to the park collection lie
sides other animals and curios.
In the Boy Scout gold metal con
test, (high jumi • Raymond Outhouse
won the first prize and Frank Sherman
second. The display of fireworks in the
evening was pronounced the best
ever shown here. The merry-go-round
did a rushing business ai! day and far
into the night.
Many people attended from sur ,
rounding towns and from all over the
county. Three automobile loads of
York people were present and two
from Kearney, so it tan be seen that
Jenner’s Park draws people from long
distances.
It was an enjoyable day. Everybody
expressed themselves well pleased with
the day's entertainment and many re
mained until late a: night enjoying
the bealities of the park and the pleas-!
ure of the dance. Mr. Jenner is pleas- !
ed with the day and thanks all for the ;
big attendance. Another big day is
.-oon coming at the park—July 4th—
let's all be there and enjoy another day
of pleasure.
TO BUY LIBERTY BONDS.
Arrangements have been made
whereby employees of the Nebraskaj
Telephone Company may subscribe
for government bonds of the "Liberty
Loan" and pay for them on monthly
installments, according to an an
nouncement received by Manager Guy
Rash.
In addition to the $5,000,000 of the
bonds which the Bell Telephone Sys- J
tern has taken, it is expected 'hat the1
employees of the various Companies
of the System will subscribe for an
equally large amount under the plan
of paying for the bonds on monthly
installments.
The installment plan provides for
the payment of $4 each month for ten
months and $5 per month for two
months on each $50 bond for which
the employee subscribes. This will en
able telephone employees to pay for
their bonds in one year and collect
six months interest in June. lhlS. This
will give them a return of approxi
matelv 345 per cent interest on each
installment paid.
In case an employee desires at any
time during the year to make all re
maining payments at once and take
up his hond. he will be permitted to
do so.

TWO TYPES OF (MEN.
Two men stand out today as extra
ordinary expressions of separate ideas
in their personalities. Roosevelt, al
ways the warrior in every department
of activity, who now wants to go to
war as the commander of a volunteer
legion which he himself offers to re
cruit. and Bryan, who has always
been a pacifist, asking the privilege
to go to war as a private soldier.
Let us consider them a moment.
Roosevelt is asking to be given the
privilege of doing the thing he does
superbly well. He knows that he is
the one man in the nation who. out
of a personal following, might pick a
legion officered by important men. He
knows that he could give it able lead
ership and whip it into great effi
ciency. He is asking for the privilege
of doing that which he does wonder
fully well.
Mr. Bryan, on tfie other hand, has
missed the opportunity of doing the
thing he does so wonderfully well.
During the two years 'of troubled na
tional life, when men who torsaw this
hour had been urging the nation to
get ready, Bryan's voice would have
been a mighty thing kad he spoken
the language of national defense. But
he did not speak that language. He
did very ill where he could have done
well, and now that in spite of all the
uharvested prophecies he has made
from the plaform. war has come, he
adventures into the situation asking
’he privilege of doing the thing he
has done ill.
He could not be of any great value
as a private soldier. Men of his age
could only be used in the actual firing
line in the last hours of a dying na
tion’s self-defense. His superb part
is in the marshailig of public send
ment. That's the thing he does well.
That's the service for him and he
could do much at it in this hour which
calis for recruiting, if he’d just or
ganize his own attitude along the line
of the president's belated utterance of
a program, which is for compulsory
railitary service. Here is Mr. Bryan's
task. He could do this well. Let him
keep out of the trenches and do this
Let Roosevelt have his legion.—Har
vard Courier.
A GOOD SHOW.

tent show played in Loup City so the
news that West Bros.* a Texas Ran 1
ger" show is to exhibit here on Fri :

dealing and honesty a- well as for a>
ways giving a pleasing performance ;

front of the big tent at night.

Unmatchable Cabinet Work
Brunswick master craftsmen
have been long skilled in the wood
work ing art—in making fine phono
graph cabinets.
But they have outdone themselves
in the conception and execution of
their own-named phonograph—The
Brunswick.
The richness of 75 years of ex
perience gives these artisans fresh
inspirations—new attainments.
New standards are now set in the j
wood-working art. Others must |
follow.
Rare Workmanship
In choosing choice woods, in !
building cabinets, in carvig, in ;
finishing — Brunswick men have
never been equaled.
You. with others, will not be slow
to applaud their handicraft.
The House of Brunswick invites
you to examine carefully the work
manship of its cabinets. You be j
the judge. The let the price sur
prise.
You will be convinced that The j
Brunswick is in a class of its own.

DRUGGIST
MAKES U. S. EFFICIENT
Washington. June 13.(Special Cor
respondent’? t.—Within three months
a company at Brandenburg. K;.\. ex
peets to be aide to supply the Ameri
ca!’ demand for lithographic stone.
Heretofore we had been receiving our
supply from Bavaria. Germany, im
porting from $75,000 to $S5,m;0 worth
annually. But the war has thrown us
on our own resources. Chemicals, min
erals. fertilizers, etc., for which we
formerly depended upon Germany we
are now producing ourselves. We used
to say. “Oh. they will be so much
cheaper if we buy them from Germany
instead of pa> ing the extra expense of
producing them at home." and so, like
Lnglaud in a great many instances, we
began to rely on the power with which
we are now at war.
But before we accepted Germany's
challenge the war had become for us
more than a protective tariff, it was a
prohibitive tariff. Already we have tak
en up the manufacture of dyestuffs
from coal-tar products. For years one
interest fought another on the ques
tion of protection to dyestuffs made
here, and in the compromise the
home industry had to walk the plank.
Two years after the German supply
was shut off. Hill of Connecticut esti
mated that "if every penny of the
specific duty which it is now pro
posed to add to the revenue rates of
the present (1916i law should be add
ed to the price to the consumer, it
would take one hundred years of that
burden to equal the losses which the
existing famine has brought upon the
country in the last twelve months."
We had depended upon Germany for
our potash supply and when that was
cut off America went to work on the
problem. An American expert esti
mates that with a proper coordination
of certain industries we (an produce
2,000.000 tons annually of potash which
can be sold to the American farmer for
$15 per ton.
It has done us a lot of good to find
out what we tan accomplish when
forced to do so. But what shall we do
with these new industries after 'he
war? Leave them to the tender mer
cis of a power as ruthless in trade as
in warfare? Scrap them? Assuming,
for the sake of argument, that the
duty was added to the price, would it
not be better to be independent and
pay the advance? And is this not es
pecially true in view of the post-war
international combinations which are
planned to control sources of supply
and to which the United States is not
a party?
COMMUNICATED.
Married: In Arcadia. Valley Countv,
Nebraska. Wednesday evening. June
6. 1917. by the Rev. L. W. Bates, of
Red Cloud. Miss Gladys L.. only daugh
ter of Mr .and Mrs. Charles O. Retten
mayer. to Mr. Mas Rosseter Wall, sec
ond son of Mr. and Mrs. Ben R. Wall,
of Chadron. Dawes County. Nebraska.
It was a lawn wedding witnessed by
several relatives and many friends,
and was an occasion of much pleasure,
not only on account of the union of the
two prominent young persons but
owing to the beauty of the hour and
the happy reunions of long time
friends. It was just dusk when the elec
tric lights strung" among the trees
flashed on their cheery welcome to
the guests coming along in little
groups passing down quiet streets un
der lovely trees to the home place of
the union.
It was a pretty arrangement that the
wedding party should come from the
house winding down along snowy can
vass walks in stately steps to giorious
marriage music, to meet at the im
provized altar the minister in church
robes, the happy groom and his bro
ther-to-be. Mr. Otto Rettenmayer, his
besf man.
The relatives marched out in ad
vance led by Hon. John Wall, uncle of!
the groom, the two mothers standing!
to the right, the uncle to the left, by
whose side stood the bride’s rather
after he had given his daughter to the
man of her choice. The relatives in
equal number stood on either side of
the walk near the altar and their pres
ence added to the social atmosphere,
when the tiny bearers, beautiful as
children can be. came slowly and with
much dignity down the white way. a
dark little boy in white satin, a dark
little girl in white lace and curls, each
bearing a cushion on which rested a
golden circlet for the double ring ser
vice of the Episcopalian marriage law
was observed: they were Thelma Scott
and Charles Downey. Jr., followed by
Ina Scottt and Irene Downy, larger
children but not less beautiful, carry
iug flower bouquets. Hollowing came
Miss Alberta Geisler a bridesmaid of;
much charm of face and presence, who
performed her part faultlessly. Then!
came the young bride in beautiful:
white with trailing veil and bouquet)
proudly leaning on her father's arm.!
There could be no dodbt of the sin-!
cerity of the hosts of well wishes, who!
there in the beautiful garden, glorious j
light and Cathredral-like atmosphere
tendered to the happy young couple
their heart's best wishes for their
health, happiness and prosperity.
After a while all were within the
hospitable home so beautifully decr
rat.ed and arranged where were served
choice and enjoyable refreshments,
and a joyous hour was partaken by all.
At the close of a pleasurable evening
the happy couple were escorted to
their own sweet home by their im
mediate attendants. Miss Geisler and
Mr. Otto Rettenmayer. The social as
sistants to the hostess were Mesdames
C. H. Downing, H. S. Kinsey. Ward.
Wm. Rettenmayer. Gordon and Miss
Lena Smith.
None could desire more felicity than
when at S o'clock there floated out of
open windows and doors strains of
beautiful wedding music faultlessly
rendered concluding with Mendel
sohm's wedding march to which the
party marched to he altar, rendered
by Miss Ernestine Odendahl at the
piano. During the ceremony the soft
music of a mandolin orchestra added
to the pleasure of the festival.
Guests from Loup City were Mrs. and
Miss Odendahl. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Ret
tenmayer and son. Karl. Mr. and Mrs.
Charles Conhiser, Miss Bertha and Mr.
Adolph Rettenmayer. and Miss Lena
Smith. Miss Geisler. the bridesmaid,
dime from Crete where she and the
bride were together in their studies
for two years in Doane College. From
Lincoln came Miss Ruth Benner and
Mr. Chester Aeger .and from Chicago
Mrs. Alice Rosseter Willard, an aunt
of Mr. Max Wall, and from Chadron
his charming mother. Mrs. Ben R. Wall
The wedding trip was to Omaha.
Many handsome and valuable pres
ents and greetings testify to the es
teem in which this promising couple
is held.
DANGER IN FALSE ECONOMY.
Worse, if possible, that extrava
ganc-e just at this time would be a
false idea of economy. If the people
become hysterical over the matter of
conservation the very ends aimed at
will surely be defeated.
We should bear in mind that, pro
vided our great waste and extrava
ganee is eliminated, there will be plen
ty of food in the country to supply the
necessities of every person.
There is now no call, and probably
will not be. for any person to deny
himself or herself sufficient good
nourishing food. On the contrary, all
should strive to keep themselves up
to their best. Eat plenty, and the best
you can afford, then you will be able
to do your full share of the work that
is before us.
Napoleon wisely said that “an
army travels on its stomach." And it
is equally true that we work on our
stomachs. A hungry man or woman is
incompetent for any task.
And it will be al! too easy for us to
develop a false economy in cither
lines. Miserliness and hoarding of
means would be most dangerous to
business conditions. Anything that
checks the normal volume of exchange
unsettles the markets and tends to pro
mote panics. In fact, this is a large fac
tor in all financial panics. Money be
comes a little scarce, and we at once
imagine that if we turn loose the dol
lar we have we will never see another.
Millions of other peopse imbibe the
same idea. You know the result.
The sensible economy and the true
patriotism is for each to exert him
self to keep the business of the coun
try normal. Buy and sell, eat and spend
as only by such a course can business
lie kept healthy and on the up grade.
Be economical and prudent, but
don't be a miser.

A man struck a match to see if his
gasoline tank was empty—it was not.
He then speeded up to see if he could
cross the track ahead of the train—he
could not. Then he looked down the
barrel of a gun and pulled the trigger
to see if it was empty—it was not. He
then asked the girl to marry him to
see if she was engaged—she was not.
