of Alliance
Candidate for the republican nom
ination for representative from the
f3rd district, comprising Hox Butte
Ud Sheridan counties.
. .If elected I will pledge myself to
the support of snob measures an shall
l for the bent interests of the 73rd
district and the state at large.
I believe that I am thoroughly
wake to the needs of the state and
peclally as regards agricultural
nd business conditions. Anyone
who makes a study of the agricultur
al conditions realizes thut the time Is
at band when legislation must be
nacted which will aid the farmer In
the solution of problems of funda
mental Importance. The III effects of
wasteful methods of distribution or
larm products are being visited upon
people of all classes in the state, and
through this one cause the farmer
gets less and the consumer pays
lore. This can and should be cor
rected as well as many other Im
portant things that can be brought
about with proper legislative meth

On this basis t solicit the support
f the voters of Box Butte and Sheri
dan counties and will do my very
fceet to bring about such measures of
Importance.

The main lines of work of the Box
Butte Farmers' Association for 191t
will be drawn up In project form. A
project or n cooperative agreement
by the Box Butte County Farmers'
Association, the Nebraska College of
Agriculture and the U. S. Department
of Agriculture requires the signature
of the president of the local organiz
ation, the County Agent, the head of
the department under which the
project comes, and the state leader
of the project ut the Nebraska Col
lege of Agriculture. Also the signa
ture of the state leader of County
Agent work. This puts the work on
a very sound basis whereby all co
operating parties know exactly what
is intended to be done. . It is one
way of securing a measure of what
has been done and in this way the
most important lines of work are not
overlooked. The Farm Management
Survey Project Agreement was
adopted as one of the active projects
for 1916.
The Annual Report of the Box
Butte County Farmers' Association
ending the tiscal year December 31,
1915, will be published next week

February the directors and officers
of the Box Butte Farmers' Associa
tion would put on an active member
ship campaign for securing new
members.

BEATS MAIL ORDERS
Alliance .Merchant Showed Howe
People How They Saved Money
on Purchase Made Here
Ulen Miller, of Miller Brother,
furniture store, last week showed an
Alliance family how they saved act'
al cash by purchasing their furniture
at home and how they secured bet
ter goods. The Alliance man and hln
wife asked Mr. Miller if be cared to
figure on a bill of goods which thr
thought of buying from the Chicago
mail order house. Mr. Miller read
ily agreed to the proposition, and tn
mail order catalog was brought dow
to the store.
The dining room sideboard picked
out from the catalog was priced at
$23.65 including the freight to Alli
ance. This was with a plain oak
top. The sideboard shown to thens
by Mr. Miller was the same site bt
it had a quartered oak top and thn
price was only $22 here in Alliance.
The chairs they picked out In th
catalog would have cost the AlIianeM
people $19 including freight. Better
chairs in the Alliance store cost then
only $18.50. The dining room tabln
picked out in the catalog proved t
be much inferior at $19.50 to the
quarter-sawed table in Alliance far
$22.
It did not take the Alliance mu
and his wife long to decide on pur
chasing their furniture from tn
home dealer. And when the bill was
all figured up they had saved man
dollars and secured better furniture.
The furniture business is not thn
only line of business that can under
sell the mail-order house. People
who have nade a practice of pur
chasing from mall order houses
would save money and get better
goods if they would investigate. And
merchants will have more oportuni
ties to demonstrate these facta to
purchasers if they use the newspa
pers with ads that call attention to
the proposition.
