The demand for foodstuffR is bound to
increase right along. Whether the war
ends today, next year, or ten years from
now will make no difference. The demand
in this country alone will increase yearly.
Half of Kurope and more is depending now
on foodstuffs from the United States is
calling upon us to supply them with wheat,
with Hour, with potatoes, with meat and
other staple foods. Never was the world so
short on bread stuffs as right at this moment.
For a considerable period o ftime submarines
have been sinking more wheat each week
than any county in Nebraska raises. It will
be years and years after the close of the war
before many of the nations participating in
it will be in a position to supply a very large
production of their own food. You know

there is the greatest demand now that there has ever been
and it is steadily increasing.
Men if you have any patriotism in you wake up
and size up present conditions. Cultivate the soil. Make
your income safe. Look at farming from the dollar stand
point. Where else or how else can you do as well?
Every part of northwestern Nebraska, wherever agri
cultural development has been established, is splendidly
prosperous: but the rich range and uplands of Box Butte
county in particular, comprise the most inviting field for
investment ami development to be found in the entire
west. Men who already own some land in this county
should take advantage of this present opportunity, and
the present emergency in our nation's affairs and buy
more land. Those who do not already own land in Box
But e county should lbok the county over and purchase
as large tracts as they can afford, while prices are still
low and before someone else jrrt in ahead of them,
Fathers now have a Splendid opportunity to set their sons
up in a paying business. It is a good county, whatever
way you look at it. If you want to work for Uncle Sam and yourself, too, you can't do bet
tor than to buy land in Box Butte county.
The opportunity is offered you. Will you take advantage of it? Others are making
money -lots of it in Box Butte county. What are you going to do Just look at the photo
in the center of this page and you will see wheat raised by Mr. Davidson, at the north
west corner of Alliance, this year, and off land that v. as broken out last year and was never
farmed before. Then look at the photo in tin I ewer l ft hand corner and see the picture of
the rye raised this year by Mr. Harris just at the northeast corner of the corporation. Now
see the picture of the spuds just east of town on Mr. liealey's place. They should convince
any reasonable mind that the word "can't" should not be used, and that "We can, let's
do it." are the proper words to say.
Men we're sorry that there are men in our midst who are willing to knock. One of
our new settler customers informs us that reeently an Alliance business man stated that it
was too bad that this country was ever taken from the cattle companies, that no one could
Old Line insurance companies will insure
you against crop failures from any cause
and charge $1.20 per acre, and if you are
dried out, drowned out, or burned out, hailed
out or frosted out, they will pay you more
money than it cost to plow, seed, and culti
vate your crops, so play the cinch game.
Buy a farm as cheap as you can and from
the man that will sell you on your own terms
what yon want at the lest price.
Com, on, let's gi t busy Tin re never va

farmers starving hercT He discouraged this newcomer
in every way he could, and this knocker made every dollar
he has here, and docs business on about the largest scale
of anyone in town. Now, this man knows better than to
speak in that light of the country, but he just has a habit
of knocking at those who try to settle up the country and
to build up homes, which would certainly be good for
Alliance, and help feed the world. If this knocker will
spare the time to go to the Assessor's Record, he can in
a very few minutes sec that Box Butte county has never
been taken from the cattle men, as we have more cattle,
more horses, more hogs, and ten times the value of live
stock now than in the times he would recall. Besides,
we have the productions of the farmers, all his machinery,
all his improvements, for taxation. Besides, we have the
farmer and his family to sell goods to, and also the priv
ilege of buying his products fresh from the farm, which
all goes to help the knocker's business, and this same
knocker js one who calls himself a "Community Club
Booster."
