Somewhere in thj issue, thor
ough reader J"1 Pride our
selves that we make T$J Herald In
teresting ncueh bo all our readers
are thorough- happened upon a falr
Ued chunk of poetry entitled "The
Clouds." Aside from the merits of
the poerty itself, and It has consid
erable merit, this poem is interest
ing because, from the information
we have at hand, it is the brain-child
cf a Herald subcrlber. No name was
a man, the writing of poetry is look
! ed upon as a weakness--unless it is
very good poetry. In a woman,
poetry Is classed with the other
I foibles of the sex. Now and then
some of the veree maker's product
is strong enough to command respect
i but the way of Pegasus is hard. We
regard the "The Clouds' as the. best
sample of poetry that we have had
drop on our desk from the clouds as
it were. There is a lilting metre to it
mid It la filled wlih a number of
iltasing conceits. It is readable.
Poetry Isn't as popular with sub
cribers of country weeklies as it was
a couple of decades ago. Then every
small paper had its pot-man or wo
man who brought in about one gem
a week, and the editor, who could'nt
refuse a subcrlber, was uttrly help
less to stem the tide. In the days
when we were so small that we had
All down the fading year;
So slim they seemed, and yet so
dim
We strive to pierce the Huns
The faces of their memorls were
We lifted! hem up with bombs."
rtvnnrl in thn nhnrl letter which flP
companled It. but the communication to stand on a cracker box to set type
bore every earmark of a contributor in our father's printing office. Uncle
who hoped to see his stuff in print.
We are stepping over the well es
tablished rules of the newspaper pro
fession and printing "The Clouds,"
although we have no clue to the
Identity of its author. Ordinarily
editors will insist that the contrib
utor in all cases sign his name. The
name may not be published if the
writer does not desire it, but Ine
editor is entitled to know. The the
ory behind this practice is that the
man whose name is at the head of
the editorial column is responsible
for every unsigned article that ap
pears In his paper. In the case of
letters or articles with the senti
ments of which the editor does not
agree, he will naturally Insist that
lie know the writer's name.
Toetry' however is dlfferunt. Why
la it that the man or woman who be
gins to scribble verse is naturally
hy about the accomplishment?. In

Billy Lakln was the offlcal poet. He
was awful. No other word will des
cribe it. He was also the papers
official weather profit. He had, as
as we recall a system of his own in
forecasting. If the carpet in his
north bedroom raised so far off the
floor in a windstorm, rain was due.
There were other signs, equally in
fallible, that indicated snow, or dry
weather, or hall.
After that was printed, we. formal
ly renouced the printing of poetry
save on special ' occasions. If your
muse runs to verse, and you yearn
to see it in print, see to it that not
only do the feet track, but that you
have something to say. Don't talk
to us about "the face of their mem
ories" we've lost interest.
When one considers the number
of people in America who live with
out working it is hardly fair to blame
labor alone for lack of production.
Some learned professors are ridi-j Are you going to - the Crawford
culing the popular ouija craxe and . Tri-State Fair? It will be bigger,
others have tried to talk to Mars and J better, grander than ever this year,
shoot rockets to the moon. 78
Uncle Billy's poetry was some
thing like the weather forecasts, in
that there wasn't any real use for
writing it. Ills verse was as guiltless
of rhyme and meter and other poet
ical attributes as were his forecasts
cf a scientific basis. He was an old
soldier, and was having considerable
trouble, getting his pension. One
verse of one of his gems, which told
of his struggles to make the govern
ment come across with his pension,
read in this wise:
Thegovment, it says to him,
Just get it if you can,
And then they set six doctors
After every single man.
Uncle Billy finally gotso that he
brought down a poem regularly every
Monday morning. We printed on
Thursday afternoon. For a long time
every Issue of the paper contained
a poem from Uncle Billy, and then,
strange as It may seem, the folks in
he back room got careless. Father
would accept the poem with smiles,
nd would hang it on the copy hook,
uid some miscreant would destroy
it. We'd explain the loss to Uncle
Billy the day after the paper came
came out without it, and set traps
o catch the vllllan. but nothing ever
come of them. In time, Uncle Billy
ot sore and transfered his pqetlcal
patronage elsewhere. However he
was back In a week. His horse had
tied, and a collection of his poems,
printed on a sale bill, was sold at
't'tv cents a throw to enable him to
ay another. After being alle to sell
-uem, you couldn't have stopped his
dibbling with a crowbar. In a time
t- btcaine reconciled to not having
.'.I of theij printed. Tqets are patient
'oik.

HAD FIRST WELL
DAY 1N"25 YEARS
Feeling Fine Now, Miller Says Tnn'ac
Has No lnial Jnlns Fifteen
Founds
"For twenty-five years I never
knew what a well day was, but a
year and a half ago I began taking
Tanlac and have enjoyed splendid
health ever since," was the truly re
markable statement made by Fred C.
Miller, well known contracting paint
er and paper hanger, living at 718 J
street, who has been a resident oT
Lincoln, Nebraska, for forty years.
"I finally got so weak and run
down that I had to lay off from my
work for days at a time," said Mr.
Miller, "but Tanlac has put me in
such good shape that I haven't lost
a bit of time since taking it. My ap
petite was very poor and what I did
manage to eat felt heavy in my
stomach and soured, forming gas
which pressed up around my heart,
keeping me In misery nearly all the
time. I suffered from constipation,
having awful headaches and dizzy at
tacks which lasted for hours at a
time, and I was also troubled with
severe palim In my left Bide. To car
it all, 1 took the painters colic, and
I Just suffered terribly. My nerves
became so unstrung that many nightt
I couldn't Bleep a wink, and In the
mornings I was so tired out and had
such little energy that I. could hard
ly get about. I had to live on soups
and other light foods . and fell ott
until I only weighed one hundred
and thirty-five pounds, and although
I took many different medicines, my
condition was rapidly becoming
worse.
"I read bo many statements prais
ing Tanlac that I decided to try it
myself, and its liicky for me that I
did for it has put an end to all my
troubles. Why, after taking only
four bottles my appetite was. just
fine, and you may know how well
everything agreed with me by my
big gain of fifteen pounds in weight.
I am entirely free from headaches,
dizzy spells, nervousness, and pains
in my side, and am just feeling fine
in every way. In all the years of my
life I have neVer seen any medicine
to equal Tanlac, and I'm certainly
glad to recommend it."

It is further impressed upon the
mayor and councilmen that the sea
son is now approaching when Alli
ance is likely to be Invaded by num
erous transients who, during the
ouiamer months, have been shipped
out or found their way to the terri
tory west of here and Who at the
first frost begin drifting back to the
east. During such periods in other
years, the petition recites, Ihe city
has Buffered from numerous depreda
tions, and an additional man is ab
solutely necessary to prevent a re
currence of the same. "A wave of
ci ime Is now passing over the entire
country," the petition declares, and
the support of all business men and
other law-abiding citizens should be
given the police.
Nothing but good words are heard
or the newly graded Chadron high
way,, which lacks only a few culverts
of completion. These culvertj have
been added and are now on th way.
This roa dis by far the best in the
county and the average motorist will
dnd it hard to ' believa his senses
when he hits this smoooth. hard
jtretch. It's almost too good to be
true.- Pete Schroeder is said oy
vhose who know to be largely respon
sible for the way the roai has been
epl up since the gradinj; is com
pleted, and if this is the case, ne
would find himself popular as a can
didate for highway commissioner.
CLOSE TO IIAKDLNU
A number of editors who used to
be printers are trying to make be
lieve that they once worked with
Harding, at the trade. It won't do
any good to peddle a lot of bunk of
that kind. ' The nearest we ever came
to working with Harding was when
w worked with Hard Cider ""Min

Your Harvest Money
You can make your Harvest Money earn another Harvest this year by
depositing it with this Bank where it will draw interest. Then if an oppor
tunity arises w hereby you can make a good investment you .have the money
to grasp it.
THE COMMUNITY NEEDS SAVlJfeS v
With the coming of the harvest and the increase of ready money in circu
lation business is certain to increase. For the good of the community every
one should exercise judgment in the disposition of his money. The safest
plan is to deposit it in a strong conservative bank, let it accumulate interest
money for you while you decide the wisest disposition of it. t
The prosperity of progressiveness of any community is measured by the
total of its bank deposits. The American system of finance incorporates the
idea of "placing your ready money in a bank" as a fundamental principle.
It should be taught to the little folks, and followed by their parents.
