THE ALLIANCE HERALD JOHN W. THOMAS, Editor Lloyd C. Thomas, City Editor Published every Thursday by THE HERALD PUBLISHING COMPANY - Incorporated Uoyd C. Thomas, President J. Carl Thomas, Vies Prsa. John W. Thomas, Secretary Entered at the post office at Alliance, Nebraska, for transmission through the malls a second class matter. Subscription price, $1.50 per year In advance THURSDAY, MAY 21, 1814 ALFALFA PAYS Wm, H. Smith, of the Seward In dependent Democrat la responsible for the following Item: L. E. Ost, who acts as agent for the Burlington rallroud In Seward, and raises a patch ok alfalfa on the aide, Is convinced that no crop grorn In Nebraska Is more profitable than alfalfa, and that good alfalfa land la dirt cheap at $150 per acre, Mr. Ost has five acres aown to al falfa, from which four cuttings were made last year, the yield am f onnting to 21 tons and 80 pounds, and for the crop he has received S2Sa.S9. He hired all the work done In earing for the crop, and this cost him $51.55, which made the net re ceipts from the five acres $186.65, or an Income of $37.33 per acre net, -which la equivalent to almost 25 per cent on $150 land. Every true parent la desirous to contribute what will add to his child's happiness and In a large ma jority of rases Imagines It must be houses and lands, herds and flocks, or a solid bank account. Dut how often this proves a transitory happi ness, serving the possessor only a day, and then leaving him stranded on the beach, helpless and hopeless. How much better to bequeath him a wel ldeveloped mind, thoroughly In structed in good business principles, language and science, which will en- , able him to successfully shift for Mmself, and a possession that will b his forever. .Our schools offer this valued legacy to your hoy or girl and you had better arrange at once to send them the coming year, though you may not leave them a single square inch of territory or a ningle penny hi their pocket. The knowledge that they may acquire here will serve them a far better purpose than either. If a nmn were to give another an orange, be would simply say, "I give you this orange;" but when the transaction Is entrusted to the hands of a lawyer to put In writing, he adopts this form: "I hereby give, and convey to you, all and singular, my estate and Interest, right, title, claim and advuntages of and In said orange, together with all of lta rind, skin, Juice, pulp and pips, and all right and advantages therein with full power to bite, cut, suck and oth erwise eat the same, or give the same away, aa fully as I. the said A. D., am now entitled to bite, cut, suck or otherwise eat the said orange or give the same away with or without the rind, skin, Juice, pulp1, or pips, nnythlng hereinbefore or hereinafter or In any other deed or deeds. In strument or Instruments of what na ture or kind soever to the contrary in any wise, notwithstanding." of praise for the patient little wom an who did the cooking, yet when the same fellows get a burnt meal with cold slop called coffee at a res taurant, they pay their bill cheerful ly and tip the waiter (female) hand somely, and smiling at the time. If you ran think of anything that can be done to beautify or build up your town, go to It. Keep your cap ital at home; patronize home indus try; help your merchants so they can sell cheaper; always get your work done at home if possible; sub scribe and pay for your home pa pers; don't steal or borrow the read ing of them. If you follow these dl rect'ons and your town does not im prove It Is not your fault. Try It. IXK'AL ITEMS giving the short course In domestic science to the Chadron Woman's Club last week, were welcome guests of the Alice Freeman rainier Society. Do you ever stop and wonder what has become of the old-fashioned, kind hearted man who used to haul a load of wood and a sack of flour around to the poor widow now and then? Maybe he has become a county supervisor and had her sent to the poor farm. One pile of garbage left undisturb ed a few hours in the summer time will be a roosting place for files that can csrry disease germs Into scores of homes. A few disease germs properly placed by a dirty fly can cause Illness which nets th- dorter, the hospital and possibly the uiulr tuker a big sum. And a few cents expended in the first place would have prevented the infection. In sunltatlon is expensive, all right; but sometimes a lot of people fall to realize It even when the argument fa so conclusive. Rev. D. W. Montgomery Is on a trip to Mitchell. Mr. and Mrs. J. R.
