The Alliance Daily and Weekly Herald
is now staging what is known as a "UNIVERS
AL CLUB", in which we are giving away a
Ford Automobile as first prize, a $100.00
Diamond Ring as Second prize and two Watches as third and
fourth prizes. ' '
There are at the present time about 1 5 members who are
working for these prizes and who are really deserving1 of your help.
If you have a friend or acquaintance who is in the club they will
appreciate your subscription or renewal to either the Daily or
Weekly Herald.
This club is the largest subscription campaign that has ever
been staged in this part of the country and we are going to lots of
expense to do the thing up right. If the club turns out to be a
success and we have every reason to believe it will The Alliance
Daily and Weekly Herald will be one of the strongest newspapers
in the state of Nebraska. With an increased circulation we will
have increased advertising and with increased advertising we will
be able to increase our news service, so it stands, that the greater
the success ot the club the larger and greater the Alliance Herald
will be. With The Herald a large and flourishing newspaper, the
town of Alliance and the county of Hox Butte will be wonderfully
benefited.
J
The Herald has always been a big booster
for this wonderful country and with increased
resources we will be able to do some mighty
big things towards developing it and bringing
in settlers. If you are a booster for Alliance and Box Butte county, -take
this opportunity of helping a good cause and pay up your sub
scription to The Herald. If you are not a subscriber at the present
time, you should be and you will find that you are getting value
received if you subscribe.
Give your credits in the Club to one of the energetic workers
for the automobile. You will find a blank in this paper which you
should fill in immediately and send to us with your remittance.

The length of time in which you have to work is growing
mightv short. The "Universal Club" will be all over but the
shouting in about ten more days and one of you is going to have
that Ford Car. The main question now is: "Who will it be?"
Now that is a very difficult question to answer just at this time and
to tell the truth, I haven't any more idea who it will be than you
have. I can tell you this, however, the work which is going to be
done in the next ten days will tell the story. So far everyone is
evenly matched, more so than in any Club that 1 have ever managed
before, and it all depends on what you can do before seven o'clock,
on December 20th, whether you are going to drive that Ford Auto
home, or not.
The "Universal Club" will close at eight o'clock on Satur
day, December 20th. The method of closing is as follows: At
seven a. m. on Thursday, December 1 8th, I will make my last
count of credits. They will be published in the paper on that day,
and every member will have a chance to see wh-ther my count
tallies with theirs. It has taken some time for all these credits to be
counted and we will presume that they are correct. If any member
1
finds that his or her count is incorrect, they must be sure and see me
before the last day a.id we will check up together and be absolutely
sure that the count is correct. We will have a sealed ballot box at
The Herald office and after seven a. m., Thursday, December 18th,
all credits will be placed in the ballot box. At exactly eight o'clock
Saturday evening, the ballot box will be opened and the votes count
ed by three disinterested men of Alliance (their names will be pub
lished later) and their count added to the number the members al
ready have in the paper. The judges will count the credits only
once, and if any member is dissatisfied with his or .her count, they
may have the privelege of recounting their own credits. This in
sures a square deal for all. The sealed ballot box makes it impossi
ble for anyone to know how much has been reported by any member.
The extra credit offer which is now on, should be. a big in
ducement for every member to do their best this week. Make every
minute cont, and don't lose any possible chance of getting sub
scribers. This offer will close at midnight, December 13th. Don't
fail to be on hand with your report.
