HAY RACK PARTY J fV I i Best-Hated of Farm Tasks rFS N tho spreaderless farm the thought IjlMl ol the Breat haP of manure pilinj it up constantly in barn yards, stables, and stalls, is a gloomy one. Those uiles mean much rfiacrrp'jV1 n ,i hard work. It must all be loaded on high wapons. It mu3t be raked of! in piles in tho fields. Then every forkful must be shaken apart and spread. Compare that old-fashioned method with the I H C spreader way. You pitch the manure into the spreader box, only waist high, drive out and the machine does all the rest. And it spreads evenly and far less wastef ully. I H C Manure Spreaders are farm necessities. The man who uses one v ill get the price of it back in increased crop3 before its newness has worn off. Every detail and feature counts. They do best work always and stand every strain for years. They are made in all styles and sizes, for small farms and large, low and high ma- . chines, frames of braced and trussed steel. Uphill or down, or on the level, the apron drive assures even spreading, and the covering of corners is assured by rear axle differentials. In aU styles the rear axle is placed so that it carries near three-fourths of the load. This, with the wide-rimmed wheels with Z-shaped lugs, makes for plenty of tractive power. Vinding of the beater is prevented by large diameter and the beater teeth are long, strong and chisel pointed. The I II C spreader lines will interest you. See them at the local dealer's.

An entirlv new line of floats has been worked out for the Klectrical pa rade, which will be held on Wednes day night. For the theme this year stories from the Arabian Knights have been selec'd. and twenty floats, gor- , geous' in their Illuminations, will de pict these var'ous stories. I The th"me of the floats will appeal to all students of history, ns it follows the same lines as those which this year's Ak-Sar Den show have been built around. The 1913 show at tho den. which hns been viewed by thou- j sands of KebrasUans, is been I stamped the best ever put on in history of Ak-Sar-Ben. When a half thousand business men of the nitrr'poll8 give of their time to such a show, is It a wonder that the Innovation would assume national im portance. It is In this that the Ak-Sar-Ben differs from all other festivals. Ak-Sar-Ben Is purely a Nebraska Insti tution, conceived by Omaha men. and the details carried out to the very last letter by the brains which originate them. All this backed up by the won derful Nebraska spirit, which does not know the meaning of the word "fail ure." 20.000 GERMANS IN LINE. The greatest of all parades of the week will be the German Day parade on Thnrpday afternoon, when Hermans from Nebraska. Iowa and even South nakctn will gather in Omaha to com memorate the landing of the first 0,er. man colonUts In America at German town IfiSC Val J. p. ser, who Is managing this affair, pred! rs that no less than 23,OoO Germans v participate In this pa rade, which vill be followed by appro-' nrlate ccr- monies, commemorating the event. Prominent speakers of na lional rep-tat ion will deliver ad dresses, af:r which a ball, celebrating the event, v. ;il be held In the German Home. t Out nt the Kourke ball park Charley Irwin, with his Indians, cowboys anI cowgirls will put on a 6how each after noon and evening. Spice Is the varle ty which m;ikes carnivals popular and by arrangii for this show. Ak-Sar-Ben has provided entertainment that will appeal to those who have become tired with ti.e average run of carnival vttraitions. Music wi:i fin the air on every turn. Fourteen binds from Nebraska v 1:1 furnish musie for the carnival and lis various attractions. Tho Doug as County Fair and Llvj Stock show will be bigger and better. For the fir.n time a live stock depart ment has been added and from the way in whh b entries are being re ceived the live stock will give the ag ricultural exhibits a run for th;r money. ffbPTIMISMsl MY J VHT TKIIDY jJJ IScnator Borah recently told Sen ator Smoot that he waa all right, but the dendrites of his cranium were twisted. Senator Smoot de parted talkinc to'h:mself and he hasnt been the same man since. Perhaps some or our genial fellow citizens in Alliance have twisted dendrites.) When some genial fellow cit.

Speaking of advertising arguments. Here's erne advanced by an Alliance business man which is indisputable: "I can't atford to advertise," he said. "The bi; fellows who adver tise make all the profits and I don't make enough to spare any for ad vertising." Speaking of popularity in the town. There's one young man who reaches Alliance every other day on a Burlington run, who Is so popular that when he goes into a well known restaurant he frequently is served Wiin rood that, the cook has hud away for himself. What is an Alliance "Live Wire?" Someone ays it would be a toss up between the woman who would wear the very latest In transparent Cicwns and the business man who would decide that tthe best way to keep In touch with the public would be to advertise every day. There should be a free-for-all prize ol'ered for the young man who can drape himself mort gracefully of an evening over the steeps of tin bank buildings or nearby railings. K would at least give some Incentive for the practice. When will the mlllenluin dawn? Probably about the time each Alli ance property owner decides he Is tired of staring last summer's weeda in the seed-tops. FIREMEN STOP BLAZIN3 STRING OF BOXCARS The fire department was railed out the second time for lie clay at one-thirty Monday afternoon to squekh a fire in a box ear jh the Kowan switch Just west or the. elec tric light plant. Several car?, nost of them loaded with sand, were strung out on the switch tnk, and ns it was a blind switch it was Im possible to reach pome of them in order to remove them from the burning car. A few minutes work by the (!' patment put out the flame -, which wee In an empty car, although it was nearly destroyed. Adjoining cars, which had caught, were saved without loss. Remember, it's belter to ri?k be ing impertinent than to take the chance of neglecting to say or do some of the things that are pertinent. You'll never sell goods tomorrow on the strength of the advertising you have almost mada up your mind to do next week. 'SEPTEMBER MORN" HERE A copy of the famous painting, "September Morn", which caused Anthony Ccmstock. public tensor of New York, to throw a fit and which he was unable to have banished from exhibition. Is being shown in the window of the Brcnnan drug store. It depicts a niaki bathing at the seashore, dressed in nature's bathing suit. A big discussion was caused in New York city over the original painting. FACTS ABOUT OPENING OF THE NEBRASKA NATIONAL FOREST RESERVE Some time after October 1, 1913, five hundretl and three sections of land situated in Grant and Mcrherson (now Arthur) counties, known as the Nebraska National Forest Reserve, will be opened for homestead entry, under the Kinkaid homestead law which permits the entry of CIO acres, and which can be proved up on under the new law in three years from the time of making settlement, with the privilege of five months' absem-e each year, making only twenty-one months' actual resi dence on the land necessary in order to secure a title from the United States government to a section of land. This tract contains .140,000 ac res, some cr it fine land and very valuable. Alter deducting school sec tions and a Email amount of oilier land not subject to entry, there is enough land to make full five hundred claims of one section each, or more than that many if some? enter less than a section. DON'T WASTE TIME AND MONEY A section of the best of this land can be obtained without much expense if you go nt it right, but already some are Incurring useless expense, simply throwing time and money away, because they are not posted. Locaters nt the nearest railroad station are charging twenty five dollars for taking a man out to tho reservation and showing him three sections and giving him the numbers on theni. Probably a hun dred or more men will be shown the same three sections, and it is probable that not one of Hum will get the land shown him. THE ALLIANCE HERALD Will keep you posted. It la the official organ of the Nebraska Stock Growers' Association and Is published in the nearest large town to the land. The land will not be opened Tor entry until some time after Octo ber 1, 101 J, probably several months. It Is probable that there will be a drawing to decide choice of land. In that event every person desiriag to secure first choice will have nn ecjual chance with every other per son who tries for a claim. The Herald will give eMails or the arrange ments na soon as made public by the Department of the Interior. Special PeatuiG Tho Herald has engaged the services of one of the oldest and most experienced surveyors In Western Nebraska, who has served twelve years as a county surveyor, to go over this land and classify the claims, by sections or parts ef sections, according to desirability. This classi fication will be arranged in convenient form by townships, so that one can find in a moment the Information in regard to any section in the tract. This together with a map of the land as furnished by the gov ernment will bo published in a supplement to The Alliance Herald some time before the date set for the opening. This supplement will be sent to all subscribers who pay one year in advance for the paper from Octo ber 1, 191J. It will not be sent to those subscribing for lts than a year. One dollar will be charged for the supplement without subscrip tion to the paper. It will be a bargain at the price and worth many times that amount, but it will be better to subscribe for the paper a year for $l.ru and keep posted on developments as they occur. Blue print, maps of the land, without tho other information that The Herald supplement will contain, are being sold in several towns for two dol lars each. They are made from a drawing made several years ago and are not as accurate as the government map which will be reproduced in The Herald. IDO IT 20"W Get In on the ground floor. Subscribe at once for The Herald and get all the information in regard to this last large land opening in Ne braska.
