THE FALL FAIRS.
Nothing connected with the iudus
lual life of the people of this coun
t:> i.- of greater importance at this
time than the county fair. Whatever
else we may be tempted to neglect
the lair should not In* allowed to suf
fer. Kverv effort should he put forth
to make the fair ihis fall bigger, bet
ter and of more far reaching influences
than any previous effort
At this stage of oar history the
b g question, the question that over
shadows all others, is that of produc
lion. We must produce, and produce,
a id keep producing in time past this
passion of production was based
largely on desire: we desired the fruits
of our labors for our gratification and
pleasure Now. however, we must pro
duce as a matter of self preservation.
Indeed, the issue of the great Euro
peau conflict will turn largely upon
the producing capacity of the United
States.
The normal human being never out
grows his desire for appreciation of
his efforts The desire to excel, and
to hear from one's neighbors and
friends an appre* iation of this excel
lence. is a most potent factor in stirn
r
ulating effort. The big hog in the
! pen does not give us near the satisfac
! turn that it does when we see it deco
rated with the blue ribbon We appre
| elate the hue poultry in the chicken
! yard, but are doubly proud of them in
the ribbon-decked coop. In short.
: achievement without appreciation is
I but half success.
Then the spirit of competition will
1 carry us a long way on the road tc
| successful production. A desire to ex
! cel our neighbors is a powerful stim
| ulus The friendly rivalry for nominal
; premiums spurs us to unusual efforts
So, in order that production in the
! United States may be stimulated to
the greatest possible extreme, let u?
' carefully cultivate this, the greatest of
all stimulating influences—the county
fair.
WORK THE ROADS.
One of the most pressing questions
in the country districts at this season
is the working of the neighborhood
roads. Usually the main thorough
; fares are taken care of by the county
! or township authorities, but there are
many cross country and neighborhood
roads that never see the road over
seer and his crew. These are up tc
the people themselvse to keep in pas
sable condition.
In years' past our people were ih>s
sessed with a notion that the care of
the public thoroughfares was a mat
ter for the state or county entirely.
[ and that personally we need not con
cent ourselves further than to pay out
taxes or contribute our assessed quota
of labor.
Of late, however, we are awaking to !
the fact that the roads are in fact ,
our roads, and that neglect of then
is neglect of our own property. They L
are one of our greatest assets, more j
especially if they be good roads. The\ j
are doubly important just at this time
when the item of transportation i
one of the greatest questions confront j
ing the country.
The urge has gone out from Wash
ingtou that the American people use j
their best endeavors that their every i
effort be made to count to the full.!
that no effort be wasted. From one I
end of the land to the other the crops!
will soon be moving over the coun
try roads. If these roads are what they
should be. motive power will be ex
pended to the best advantage; if not
much of the motive power will bi

THE PATRIOTISM OP WOMEN.
Women are as patriotic as men. They
have proved it by registering in large
numbers at their precinct polling
places September 12th. Like the women
of Russia, the women of Nebraska will
fight. It may not be with sword, but
it will be with the same spirit of loy
alty and sacrifice. It is not strange
that the call to make the world safe j
for democracy stirs the soul of every ’
woman who dreams of a world of
peace, justice and beauty. The wtfmcn
by registering and expressing their
willingness to do the hard and menial
tasks of the nation, as well as the
charitable ones, have, in addition to
the service actually rendered, given
courage to brave ones who are offer
ing their lives to the cause of this
war. and shame slackers to action.

A HEAVY BURDEN.
A Bad Back Makes Life Miserable For
Many Loup City People.
A bad back is a heavy burden.
A burden at night when bedtime
comes.
Just as bothersome in the morning.
Ever try Doan’s Kidney Pills for it?
Know they are for Kidney backache
—and for other kidney ills?
If you don’t, some Loup City people
do.
Read a ease of it:
Mrs. W. H. Hughes, Loup City, says:
"1 have suffen-d from kidney and blad
der trouble oft and on for many years.
At times, my hands and feet swelled.
1 was dizzy and everything turned
black before me. I read about Doan's
Kidney Pills helping others, that I
got some at Swanson's Drug store
They helped me wonderfully.”
Price 60 cents at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
