Be systematic in your SAYING- and
in time it will become a HABIT. It
is easy to spend money, so easy that
the SPENDING- HABIT is accniired
before the SAVINGS HABIT. Stop
and make an allowance for necessary
expenses and then plan to SAVE some
thing on that allowance and the
SAVING- HABIT will go.
The First National Bank welcomes deposits
ot these savings funds. Time certificates
draw interest and are issued for any amount.

ig Crowds Attend the First Annual Box
Butte County Fair,
Exhibits Good and Races the Best of the Year in
the Northwest.
The first annual fair of the 13ox Butte County Agricultural
and Fair association has just passed into history, and we
think it is no exaggeration to say that it surpassed the most
sanguine expectations of the promoters.
As it was late in the season before the organization of a
fair association was set on foot, and almost time for the fair
before plans were completed for the same, the live stock and
farm product exhibits were necessarily few, but those entered
were good. In the races, however, this fair excelled many
that have been organized a great many years. "Johnnie"
Owens of Newcastle, official starter, has attended about all
the races in the Black Hills region so far this year, and gave
it as his opinion that Alliance was ahead of them all. Mr.
Owens and P. G. Cooper of Crawford, who was one of the
judges, showed their kindness to the association by taking
the unpleasant and trying parts without remuneration. The
Herald desires to return thanks to these gentlemen on behalf
of the Alliance people.
It is not possible for us to give details as to the winners
in the races and the exhibits this week, but will do so in our
next issue. We cannot in passing, however, but pay a compli
ment to Geo. A. Douglas, who so skillfully managed the
farm exhibit. It surely was fine.

peculiarly sad as Mr. and Mrs, Tern
pleton are strangers in Alliance, having
only recently arrived here.
We "acknowledge the corn" we
are short on local news this week. The
fact is, the entire Herald force has
been crowded to the limit trying to
accomodate those who have wanted
extra job printing on account of the
fair. It will take us a few days to get
caught up, but expect soon to be able
to give Herald readers as much local
news as heretofore, or more than ever
before.
The Nebraska Laud Company's big
adof the Ford automobile appears in
The Herald again this week. In set
ting the type for this ad last week our

there were a number of mistakes.
Most of these were corrected, but two
of them went through without cor
rection. In the New York to Seattle
race the Ford Model "T" car made
the 4,100 miles in twenty days and
fifty-two minutes, instead ot fifty days
and fifty-two minutes; and the price of
the Roadster should have been given
as 5825 instead of $850.
