AN EXPENSIVE JOY RIDE. Sunday morning when Mike Mendyk | and family left the Catholic church and prepared to go home in their i apto they found the machine was ] gone, and as no one showed up with it within a reasonable time it was tak | tn for granted that the machine had been stolen and all the neighboring towns were advised to be on the look out for it. by Sheriff Williams. Nothing was heard from the machine until about five o'clock that evening when Wallace Dymek drove into town with it. Young Dymek was immediately taken into custody by Sheriff Williams and told the sheriff that he had been ’ to Grand Island and back having made tht trip to see about a motorcycle that the trip to see about a motorcycle that ing the car to make the trip. Young Dymek was locked in jail and the next morning County Attorney: Stephens made out a complaint against him. charging him with unlawfully taking the automobile, to which charge he pleaded guilty before County Judge Smith and was fined $100 and costs, amounting in all to $110.35. paying part of the fine, and will probably have to lay out the balance of it. $100.00 and costs is the minimum fine for unlawfully taking an automobile as the law is very plain on that point, as fol lows : , Section 1. Unlawful Taking Auto mobile.—Penalty. — Whoever wrong fully takes any automobile or motor , cycle from a garage or any other place where the same may have been law fully placed, without the consent of . the owner, with intent to wrongfully i1 use the automobile or motorcycle so , taken, shall be fined in any sum not less than one hundred dollars nor mor than three hundred dollars and be im I prisoned in the county Jail uot less than three months, nor more than six mon ! tbs and shall also be liable to the party injured in double the amount of dam ' ages sustained.

The June apportionment gives Sher man county $3,723.70. divided among 74 districts. It may be said to the shame of two district directors that they sent in no reports and therefore their districts did not share in the ap portionment.

M< nday of this week is a day that will he remembered for a long time by many of the residents of Loup City and Sherman county, the day when a num ber uf our soldier boys answered the call and went to Gratfd Island to join tlu ir ompany. The boys left at or.e p. m. and prob ably a thousand people were at the depot to bid them goodbye. The band played several stirring selections and veterans of the civil war were present with Old Glory. There was not a dry eye in the crowd and after all the goodbye- had been said and the train had pulled out the people silently departed for their homes and business houses. Thus had the real meaning of the war been brought to our attention more for. ibiy than ever before in the denartur of our young manhood to defend the liberty- which we now en joy. Those going at his time were Joseph C. Prichard. Irvin Rowe, Harold Han cock. Charles May. Dwight Willis. Le Ion Lofhoim. Clifford Cox. Charles Gerkin of Ord to join Company- 1 and Ralph Bennett of Arcadia. Janies Gil bert left on the early morning train for Lincoln to join the Fifth Regiment ai Baud a number being at the depot to bid him goodbye.

E. Longacre has received a commission in the Medical Reserve Corps and will probably be called to active duty in the near future. The doctor will have the rank and receive the pay of First Lieutenant. This is a splendid appointment and is in re cognition of service performed in the Philippines during the Spanish-Amer ican war in that department and also his ability as a physician and sur geon. Dr. Longacre will prove a val uable man in the service, as his ser vice in the Philippines was an ex perience that will come in handy, to gether with his experience as a gen eral practioner. and the government has been quick to recognize the value of his services, his appointment beit;-' the result. T»r. Longacre is intensely patriotic and is glad to serve our coun try in the service assigned him. PROPERTY WORTH $14,975,597.

Dear Folks: — The wind is blowing hard here this afternoon, it is soon going to rain and I hope it does. I see by the papers there is some chance of peace being made. Well I sure would feel grateful to the kaiser if he would make peace, but at the same time I would like to go to France now. If the kaiser knew how well we were preparing he would think a little We have most all day Saturday off. all we have to do is stand in line and have our appearances and equipment inspected. Each one ’of us is examined naked to see that we are not sick or have any disease. It only takes a cou ple of hours in the morning. Yesterday afternoon Ginkens and I went to Manhatten on the street car. We went out to the Kansas Agie school and to the E N house there They have a swell house there, nicer than we have in Nebraska and it is open all of the time so the E N's here at tiie fort can come down and stay whenever they are there and make it their home. They have a nice old lady who is sort of a mother to the boys there. She is paid to keep the house, in order or rather to boss the job.' There is over 60 of tiie hoys here from every school in the C. s and we cer tainly have a line time, it seemed \ like being back in school and its only, a few miles over there. I went to, church at the Presbyterian church tin 1 morning with one of the boys from Kansas City. He is a big Mason, only 2G years old and 22nd degree. We get swell feed now. This morn ing we had hot biscuits and pork sau sage. oatmeal with milk and sugar and coffee, not so had for breakfast is it?I And this noon we had a swell feed. I'll bet you didn't have a better one yourself. We had roast pork, mashed potatoes, gravy, lettuce, good beets, pickled, puddfng with chocolate pour ed over it. and iced tea. not such bad grub is it ? It was cooked good too. Of course we don't always fare quite that good, but 1 thought perhaps you would like to know we are well cared for \ now that we are in a company. After dinner we went down to out V. 51. C. A., we call it. It is a place we have fixed under our bunk house which is about four feet off of the ground. We dug it out so we can stand up under it. put writing tables, mag azines and electric lights and benches in it. and it is always cool there. Then our quartette sang for us and we had a few speeches. It is more like a va cation in the hills than any thing else. 5Ye don't do hardly any work. i uci u if a lui ui lain 111 me jiapci a about moving the medical corps from here to some other camp. Fort Benji man Harrison, at Chicago, is the lat ! est but I don't hardly think the papers know a darn thing about it. I don't think we will see France j this year and maybe not at all. Well, tell the kids hello for me. I hope they get every son of a gun up there between 21 and 31 that isn't a married man, in the draft. I sure would like to be over some of those guys. Hows everything getting along in! the store? 1 did not find a note from Minnie in any of the boxes you sent, must have overlooked it. We get a a or 10 mile hike every day now. It just gives us a good ap petite. 1 am going in some more foot races soon. 1 get every race 1 run. or have so far. Jinkens and 1 are down at the Y. M. C. A. writing. Some one is playing the piano in the other room, so we are going in and listen. He says to tell Ruby hello and for Bill to come down Well 1 must close. Lovingly Pug. P. S. I feel like pug again, now that we get good eats, and step out once in a while. GOVERNOR UPHOLDS “UNWRIT TEN LAW.” Relieves Slayer of Wife and Man of Sentence. “The Unwritten Law" has been giv en formal approval by Gov. Hender son of this state. John Pogue of Tall apoosa County, who shot and killed a friend, whom he caught in a compro mising situation with his wife, and al so the wife was relieved of a prison sentence of six and a half years and that without pretense of apology for the clemency. "While there may be technical guilt under the law of those who seek in time of emergency to protect and uphold the sanctity of their home.", the governor declared in his state ment, "It is not to the interest of so ciety in general, that one should be punished as this defendant would b° under the sentence imposed upon him. Under the preservation of the home depends the future strength of our manhood and the reverence due to beautiful womanhood." — From the Montgomery (Alabama I Times. Upon an incident similar to the Pogue case, is based the sensational film drama entitled "The Unwritten, Law’,” which consists of seven sen sational reels, and features the noted Prima Dona. Beatriz Michelena. This remarkable production—deriv ing its name from the law, courage ously sustained by Governor Hender son of Alabama, will be presented at the opera house. July 21. Admission is placed at 25 cents for any seat. It is not a picture for children, but young men and women before marry ing, may well absorb the powerful lesson it conveys. TEACHERS EXAMINATIONS. July examinations will be held or Thursday and Friday, the 26th and 27th. 1917. Reading Circle. Friday at ternoon. All teachers must meet th° reading circle requirements by taking the examinations i two books. The basis book for all teachers, rural or city; “Elwoods Sociology. The second book for city teachers: “The Schools of Tomorrow; by Dewey, (credit 5 points.) The second book for rural teachers: "Principals of Education," by Bachma. (credit 5 points.) Teachers may meet county require ments by attending teachers’ meetings, but the 5 point credit must be earned by examination. L. H. CURRIER. Co. Supt. C. C. Carlsen and family left for Colorado in their auto yesterday to spend a two weeks’ vacation. I COUNTY TO FURNISH 60.

An amendment to the food bill, which, if it becomes a part of the law. will play a tremendous part in pre venting the consumption of intoxicat ing liquor, was presented to the Sen ate by Hon. Albert B. Cummins of Iowa and pressed to final adoption It provides that during the war no liquor shall be imported into the I'nit ed States, and the liquor now held in bond shall not be withdrawn during the same period. It has been rumored that the distilleries are working over time in an effort to fill up the bonded warehouses in anticipation of a law prohibiting the manufacture of liquor, and it is also understood th£t England is increasing its production, presum ably with the idea of shipping great quantities to this country should a prohibition law- be agreed upon.
