Loup City has a brand new $35,000
school house. Upon the roof of this
elegant building a two-by-four has
been nailed and projects a few feet
out in front. A long time ago a new
U. S. flag was nailed to this two-by
four. and it is there yet—all torn to
pieces and wrapped around the pro
jecting plank. The abuse of the flag
in that way upon a public building
should not be tolerated. The unsight
ly two-by-four should be removed with
the flag that is in rags and a suitable
flag pole placed upon the building with
a new flag flying from the same, which
should be put up every morning and,
taken down at night. We do not know j
who is responsible, or who should be!
held responsible for this state of af-l
fairs, but who ever it is should be com
pelled. if necessary, to remedy the
condition mentioned above.
Lately the Northwestern reporter
lias noticed a great many violations
jof the road laws upon the streets of
Loup City. Driving on the wrong side
of the street, making wrong turns at
intersections and running at night
; without lights or tail lights are the j
offenses noticed frequently lately.'
Speeding is also frequently indulged
in, especially on some of the side1
streets. If a proper compliance of the j
law was enforced in these matters the
danger of accidents would be greatly
minimized.

Buy A New Binder Now
1 would advise party wanting binders this year or in
the next three years, to buy them this year. A seven ft.
I Deering binder complete will cost you $175. This same
binder in 19ls will cost you $225 or more which would
be 8 per cent interest on $175 to August 1, 1921. If you
buy a binder now and give your note at 8 per cent inter- I
est until August 1. 1921, it would be cheaper than buy
ing at that time, while you have the use of the binder
for three years in case of a large wheat crop in 1918 it
will be impossible to furnish half the demand for binders.
Buy your binder this year and save from $50 to $60 and
be sure to have one for the 1918 crop.

SOUR STOMACH.
This is a mild form of indigestion.
It is usually brought on by eating too
rapidly or too much, or of food not
suited to your digestive organs. If you
will eat slowly, masticate your food
thoroughly, eat but little meat anil
none at all for supper, you will more
than likely avoid the sour stomach
without taking any medicine whatever
When you have sour stomach take one
of Chamberlain’s Tablets to aid di
gestion.
