MISS EMMA OUTHOUSE DEAD.
Word wras received today by Mr
md Mrs. A. B. Outhouse announcing;
he death of their daughter. Miss Em
na, who has been employed in Indi

Last Call Made for the Final
Enlistments.
Sherman county’s companv of
National <. uard Reserve will un
doubtedly be mustered into the
state service by the latter part
of next week, if enlistments keep
coming in at the present rate.
Over fifty enlistments have
been secured, nearly twenty the
past week, and the final drive
Saturday and the first of next
week is expected to entirely fill
the company.
We are now making a final
appeal to all the red-blooded
young men of the country to
join and assist us in this last
effort. This branch of the ser
vice will undoubtedly be the last
chance for a young man to enlist
in a home company, and it should
be a source of great pride to all
who are able to become members
of this organization.
Word received from Adjutant
General W. E. Steel today states
that he now has ten companies
ready to be mustered in and that
this coming week will see the
of the enlistments.
Is Sherman County going to
be numbered among those who
have the honor of raising a com
pany in this new regiment?
Garret Lorenz is the enlisting
officer at Ashton, H. E. Willis at
Loup City, Mell Gordon at Ar
cadia, and an enlisting officer will
be at the C. W Trumble store in
Hazard, Saturday evening, and
arrangements are being made to
have one in Litchfield Monday
evening of next week.
Young men. it is now up to
you. Are you going to enlist in
a company composed of your
friends, or are you going to
wait and be drafted. Come in
and enlist today.
PLANS FOR REGISTRATION OF
WOMEN WELL ORGANIZED.
Plans for registration of women ir
Nebraska on September 12th are well
oreanized. The movement is a nation
al one. but each state committee on
registration is charged with the exe
cution of its own plan. The state com
mittee. delegates the work to the coun
ty chairman of registration; the coun
ty chairman in turn delegates the
work to the committee on registra
tion. or to registrars in the cities,
towns, villages and rural communities
Each county, therefore, works as a
unit. It will he interesting to make a
sociological study of the proportionate
numbers registering in the different
counties. Some conclusions may be
drawn as to significance of nationality,
religious affiliation, comparisons be
tween cities and rural districts, rela
tion of railroad facilities to the suc
cess of such a movement, kinds of ser
vice offered, indicating the class of
women most responsive to such a call
etc
Final summaries of this registration
will be reported to the government.
The women of Nebraska have this op
portunity of placing themselves at the
head of the list for percentage of reg
istrations. Let one hundred per cent he
cur goal.
TAYLOR GIBSON DEAD.
As we go to press word comes to
us of the death of Taylor Gibson. It
comes as a surprise to most of our
people as very few knew that he was
111. The Northwestern will contain the
obituary in our next issue.

In the new "Military Map of the
United States." just from the press
I yesterday, tlie Union Pacific system is
i offering free to the thousands of fami
lies who have members or relatives in
some branch of the fighting forces of
Uncle Sam the most comprehensive
publication of the kind vet printed
It gives a printed list and location of
all the National Army cantonment
camps. National Guard concentration
camps. Reserve Officers’ training
camps. Aero training stations. post;
and stations of the army and the nav
al and marine barracks—nearly 50f
points throughout the country where
preparation is being made to train and
oquip "Sammies” and “Jackies” for
the big drive Uncle Sum contemplates
at a later date. The map is in four
olors. every government station j>
clearly located and the information
will be timely and helpful to thousands
of mothers, sisters, brothers, wives
and sweethearts, particularly so as
the drafted army is concentrated at
• arfous points. The folder is free upon
application to the Union Pacific svs
tem office in any metropolitan city
or to Gerrit Fort. Passenger Traffic
Manager. Union Pacific System. Chi
cago. The pamphlet also contains
some interesting facts pertaining to
the service of railways in conjunction
with the movements of troops to and
from the 500 points designated on
the big map.
A HEART TO HEART TALK.
Can you answer “Yes” to the follow
ing questions:
Are you a woman over 16 years of
age? Do you really love your country?
Do you realize that your country is at
war? Do you think there is anything
vou can do to help your country in
the present crisis? Are you willing t<
write down on a card what you think
you can do? Do you believe organized
endeavors count for more than scat
tered efforts?
If you can answer "Yes" to the above
questions, then do not fail to register
on SepttnVber 12th.
They say it is better late than nev
er: we hope this is true. Mr. Hartman
went to Lincoln the first of the week
to visit his parents and a brother who
has been attending the naval school
at Annapolis, and left the force to pub
lish this issue of the Northwestern
which we can do all OK., but the chief
cook and hottle washer had the mis
fortune to sprain his back and has
been under the doctor's care ever
since, and trying to work at the same
time. Of course the work has suffered
and we hope this will not occur again
in the near future.
It seems the examining boards have
had less trouble with flat feet than
with cold feet.
NEW LIBRARY IS OPENEB
Tht Public Library of Loup Oit\
township was opened Monday evening
with an informal reception by the li
I brarv hoard assisted by Ladies of thf
Unity chib and the P. E O. Chapter
A neat little booklet had been pre
pared by the board, giving a histon
of the movement from its inception
! with a very good picture of the build
ing on the cover. Those visiting the h
brarv were given one of these appre
ciate souvenirs.
The rooms on the main floor were
decorated with Palms and Ferns
Punch and wafers were served in the
assembly room, the decorations being
1 in yellow and green
The building is 32 by 52 feet. Low
er floor ceiling 9 feet, main floor ceil
ing 11 »2 feet. The library occupies the
whole of the main or upper floor and
has shelving for more than 10,000
i books. The furniture is the best grade
of special library furniture with tables
and chairs selected In different sizes
I for adults and children.
The rest room and ladies toilet is
I equipped with those comforts appre
ciated both by our own people and
those sojourning in our town and cer
tainly one of the most valuable ad
*
junets to the building.
' We congratulate the people of Loup
City township upon the accomplished
fact of this long desired public lie
cessity. and it is the desire of the li
brary board that the library be con
stantly used by our people for the put
pose intended. That the volumes upon
the shelves limited as they now are
may prove of value to those seeking
self improvement, that they may en
courage the disheartened, stimulate
ambition and serve as stepping stones
to higher ideals and nobler purposes.”
REGISTRATION OF WOMEN IS
VOLUNTARY.
Registration day for women in Ne
braska is September 12, 1917. This reg
istration is decidedly different from
the registration of men which took
place in our country on June 5th. last.
Registration of women is voluntary.
No one will compel you to register
Nothing will he done to you if you fail
to register
Registration simply means signing
your name and address and stating
what you can. or will do. in the way
of service for your country at this
time. If you wish to be paid for your
service say so. Nothing will be done
to you if it becomes impossible for you
to render the service for which you
pledge yourself. Your offer will
made in good faith, and no legal sig
nifi -ance can be attached to your ob
ligation
No guarantee is made that you will
be given the work you ask for, or the
compensation which you may consider
it necessary- to receive, but the prob
ability is that the work and workers
in this state will ne so organized
through registration, that each woman
may be given to do that which she pre
fers.

All fathers and mothers want their child to be the
leader in his c-lass—that is natural. But to accomplish the
best results your boy or girl should have everything that
is necessary to get the be$t out of each study.
Let us co-operate with you by suggesting various
which every scholar should have. All of our school re
quisites are strictly in keeping with the modern methods
of teaching and you should not deprive your children of
them. Let us go over this important matter with you.
