SUBSCRIPTION PRICK, $1.50 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE ABOUT ADVERTISING Apropos of tin- subject of advi i tising, the Oinalia Trade Kxhihit in its issue of lat week Huh the following to Kay. There always has been and alwajs will be two opinions as to ul.Hl.ei- fit not a local newsnaner should carry advertising for some .tnrn in n rival town, or in some I arte city which seeks to attract bus iness from the local community. lVrsonallv. the editor of this departn cut has not a word of blanu for the editors of those local papers wh: accept all the advertising of that kind thoy can get, provided the advertising itself is honest and truthful mid advertises legitimate goods on a legitimate proposition. Lately wc have seen many of the newspapers published in towns and cities near Omaha carrying ads for some of the Omaha big de partment stores. Not long since the Sun at Kdgar, Nebr., carried two full pages, as a special supplement, which was entirely devoted to Hastings, carrying the advertising of the Hastings retailers, anticipat ing tl.n travel to that citv for their exposition. Is that all right from the standpoint of the newspaper and from the standpoint of the local retailers! Wc believe it is. Tl.c retailer who does not advertise in his home paper has not a word to say and does not get in this discussion. The retailer who Hoes advertise in his home paper is less likely to have any kick com- ing, for he appreciates the fact that his business is up to him, and if the out-of-town store thinks enough of the advertising medium of the local paper to use it to induce trade he surely ought, to use it himself, lone e he can surclv tret more returns for the investment. lion't criticise the home naner for carrying out-of-town ads. If vou doi't advertise yourself your local editor can politely ask you where you get on, and if you do use your home paper you ought to have ail the more confidence in it u some out-ol-town store uses it, too One of the greatest examples in the' w orld of the efficiency of pure advertising is the Coca-Cola company. This company spends each year $1,100,000 in advertising. In the past 21 years the company has spent more than $,000,000 in advertising. Uy far the greater part of that sum has been spent for "dealer helps. That is, this company lias probably spent many times mon than any other otvadverttsing matter that is designed to be used di rectly by and for the man who retails the product. The foundation of their advertising success is the fact that they always made it worth while for the dealer to handle and push the pro duct. "lias it paid?" asks Printers' Ink. "Well, in the score of years covered b this $8,000,000 outlay for promotion work Coca-Cola sold a total of more than JW.OOO.OOO gallons of the popular drink." lias it paid 7 It certainly has. ami risrht now Uoca-Cola is beaten in the amount of the annual outlay for promotion work by only a few other companies, one of them being the makers ot Spearmint gum. "FAIR VIEW" A HOME ENTERPRISE . Only six days more until the big sale of lots in "Katrview", the newest residence addition to the city of Alliance. The executive board of the Box llutte County Fair Association has been advertising this sale extensively and there is no doubt but that the lots will sel without any difficulty whatever.. The people of Alliance and Box Butte county should realize that this is a home proposition, for the good of our town and county. The Kale of these lots, which are desir able anJ well worth a good price, will enable the fair association to pav otT the balance of its indebtedness and be in the clear. The Box . Butte county fair grounds, which adjoin the addition on the east, art well located and are a valuable asset. Those who purchase lots at the biir sale next week can do so with the assurance that the property will increase in value as an investment and that for building purposes the location cannot be bettered. The business houses will close from 12:30 to 4 p. m. to enable those who wish to attend the sale, on Wed TH-sday, October 20th. HELP MAKE MARKET WEEK A SUCCESS hvery business man ni Alliance is intensely interested in Market 'Week it means that many visitors from out of town will do their fal chopping' here, that they will stock up with groceries, hardware. clothing and other- necessities, and that they will make business ac iuaintances here which will prove profitable-in the future to all con fumed. .No other kiikiII city has tried out this plan and Allianct 1 . mi a . m a taking the leail. i nc larger cities have tried the Plan lor vears am have been successful. The committee of six business men who at doing the preparatory work need the encouragement and assistanct of others in their work. The plans are made, a large portion of th funds have been subscribed, but still there is much work to do. Th immense amount ot tree entertainment to be provided means that there will be a lot of hard work. Roll up your sleeves, Mr. Business Man, and pitch in. -.Volunteer your scrvict-H and you Will !m- used ai appreciated. BUILD HEATING SYSTEM NEXT YEAR It is to be regretted, as Mayor Homig states, that it will be impossi ble to construct the city heating system without holding an election at d voting bonds. However, under the state laws, this appears to Im the only thing that can be done and those who are in favor of th proposition can spend their time during the winter explaining au demonstrating to the doubtful ones the good points and desirability oi a system of this kind. e took the time to talk with many of ou leading citizens regarding the proposition and found that all were in favor of utilizing our waste steam from the city electric light plant to heat the business portion of town during the winter months. The plant, when installed, would soon pay for the expense of installation by the profits over operation, still giving the customers full value for their money. A member of The Herald staff, in Crawford last Fri day, took the time to do a little investigating regarding the Crawford plant. There were no kicks and all the customers interviewed had only good things to say about the system there, which is operated by a private company. The proposition should be voted on not later than the spring election, so that the work can be done next summer and the plant ready for use next winter. At this time it appears almost certain that the bonds would carry and that the people of the city are in favor of having the plant belong to the city and not being put in by a private corporation. CITY MAKES EXCELLENT SHOWING The semi-annual report of e'ty affairs, rendered by Mayor Homig to the city council Tuesday evening and published in this issue of The Herald, deserves the attention of every citizen. This report is com plete and well worth reading. It shows that an immense amount of improving has been done during the past six months, that city bonds Lave been paid oh to the amount of .frj.OOO, that the electric light plant is making nearly $1,000 per month profit in spite of the reduc tion of rates amounting to .'131-3 per cent, and that the eitv's busi- oess is being given excellent attention. Uecommendations are made that deserve serious consideration. Alliance is making swift strides forward and the showing made the last six months by the city admin iteration is a good one. fruud In the pale of milk, mid pie- Berve tne putn- u-ititn, ami to H- ense and regulate the nah nnd dis- loRition 'it milk in paid city. lii: IT ORDAIN Kl II Y THE MAY- IK AM) COPNCIL OK Tilt; CITY OF ALLIANCE: Section 1.

Adv Oct Deafness Cannot lie Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deaf ness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition ot the mucous lln ing of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rum bling Bound or imperfect hearing, and when It is entirely closed, deaf ness is the result, and unless the In flammation can be taken out and this lube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an in flamed condition of the mucous sur faces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for cir culars, free. F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, O.

He's about as out of date as the idea that newspaper advertising doesn't pay. Nesvspaper advertis ing absolutely pays under two ccnJitions: When the newspaper is a gcoJ medium and when the advertising is properly displayed and truthful. - It pays the merchant and it pays the buyer. Experience has proved 'this a million times. This paper is a good nvdium. 4 7T
