GET THE BIG NEWSPAPER THAT IS FIGHTING YOUR FIGHT This year promises to be notable for big problems. wnat can be done to restore pros perity to this country? How can we reduce taxes? How can stable good prices for farm products be brought back? How can freight rates be reduced and railroad business restored? How can we pay our debts, public and private? How can the millions of idle men be put to work? How can we get back to a profitable relationship with Europe, the great customer for our surplus cotton, corn, copper, wheat, cattle and hogs? How can we get rid of the burdens of war and make the blessings of peace permanent ? We have opened a new chapter in the world's history. ' 1 To study it and to understand it all should read a daily newspaper, and Senator Hitchcock's newspaper, the Omaha World-Herald, is beyond doubt the largest and the best in Nebraska. Senator Hitchcock established this paper in 1885, nearly thirty-seven years ago. For more that a third of a century. therefore, this newspaper has been under his control and management. During many of these years he acted as editor. In 1894, on his in vitation, Mr. William J. Bryan be came editor for two- years, only re signing to run for president. Mr. Bry an was succeeded as editor by Mr. R. L. Me teal f, and on the latter's resigna tion Mr. Hitchcock again took aver the editorship. At that time he associated with himself Mr. H. E. Newbranch. About that time Mr. Hitchcock en tered the lower house of congress where he served three terms. When elected to the United States senate 11 years ago he turned over full editorial responsibility to Mr. Newbranch, who has been a member of the World-Herald staff for twenty-three years. For thirty-seven ' years Senator Hitchcock has been president of the company which owns and publishes the World-Herald. With steady and un swerving purpose over that long period the newspaper has fought the battle of the people. During about half that time Mr., Hitchcock has been in pub lic life in Washington, and what he has stood for there, his newspaper has led the fight for in the west. The policy of the World-Herald has been permanent and it has been popu lar. Another element in the success of the World-Herald has been its inde pendence. Behind its ownership there are no public utility securities, no rail road interests, no entangling alliances either corporate or individual. The result is a free and untrammeled news paper which under unchanged owner ship and control ha9 stood uniformly for public interest and popular rights for all these years. Among the causes which it championed in the past are the maximum freight law, the anti pass law, the two-cent fare law, and the law for taxation of railway ter minals. The World-Herald is a pio neer in the fight for direct primaries, for the popular election of United States senators, for the graduated in come tax, for the initiative and refer- endum, for the guarantee of bank de-, posits, for postal savings banks, fori the farm loan banking system, and for municipal ownership of water works in Omaha. . I VALSPAR V VARNISH STAIN All shades TT IT I Among the Indication that spring s almost here may be listed the increase in the number of wedding licenses is sued by the county judge. February, with a grand total of four the lowest in years registered the great slump in tne matrimonial market, but March is starting off better. Thursday Judre lush issued three licenses and per formed three ceremonies, uniting in marriage Guy Wnitlock and Miss Vi vian Westlake, both of Berea; C. Al bion Williams and Ida P. Pi-ttipieee, both of Crawford, and Lyle D. Han kins of Lakeside and Miss Gertrude Casey of Pender. Mr. and Mrs. Whit lock will make their home on a farm near Berea, and Mr. and Mrs. Han kins will reside on the groom's ranch near Lakeside. Hardy W. Campbell, nationally known' as a dry farming expert, ar rived in Alliance Thursday to spend a lew days with his daughter, Mrs. Yar ter. Mr. Campbell was in Alliance a short time ago and gave a talk before an audience of farmers on his method of dry farming. Mr. Campbell came to Alliance because he was unable to drive in Montana where he is spend ing some time explaining the Camp bell method of summer tilling. He plans to leave Saturday. The Scottish Rite club will enter tain all members of De Molay and Jobs Daughters Wednesday evening, March 15. All Scottish Rite Masons and la dies are cordially invited. I H. B. Alter, of the Baer-Alter Shoe ' company, left Friday noon for Bailey ville, Kas., where he was called by the illness of his mother, Mrs. E. V. Alter. As the leading exponent of pro gressive democracy the World-Herald fought the battles for William J. Bry an in three presidential campaigns and did its share to carry Nebraska for Woodrow Wilson in two great cam paigns. Its leadership in fusion movements in the early 90s helped to rescue the state from the railroads and other corporate interests and to make Ne braska one of the progressive states of the union. - In all the great constructive acts of Woodrow Wilson's administration the World-Herald as a newspaper, and Senator Hitchcock as its chief owner, took an active part. A sincere believer in fundamental democratic doctrine, Mr. Hitchcock has not hesitated to differ with his. party and its leadership when his con victions impelled him to that course. - The World-Herald today stands for the same general policies in the inter est of the people that it has cham pioned for thirty-seven years. It stands with Senator Hitchcock in the fight he has made to promote the in terests of argriculture and reduce the general burdens of taxation, to main tain the graduated income tax on large incomes and the excess profits taxes on highly profitable business. It stands with him in his effort to se cure broader and more profitable mar kets for the products of western farms and for the surplus products of Amer ica, including the cotton of the south and the grain and live stock of the west. , It stands, as he stands, for dis armament, for cutting., governmental expenses state and national, for sim plifying, government and for. getting back to Jeffersonian simplicity in pub lic affairs. It stands for Senator Hitchcock's bill providing . for the establishment of a Bank of Nations in order that it may be possible to establish a system of credit to stimulate the sales of our products to Europeoa countries and revive our export trade so that the farmers and stock-raisera msy get living prices for their corn, wheat, their cattle and their hogs. Anyone desir ing a copy of this bill together with an explanation of it will receive it by dropping a postal card to the World Herald, whether he Is a subscriber or not. If you are not a subscriber, the World-Herald would like to have you for a subscriber. The price is $6.00 a year, or we will be glad to send it to you for six months for $3.00. This includes the Sunday World-Herald. We can honestly say that the World Herald is the largest and best daily and Sunday newspaper in the state and one of the largest and best in the whole west. Its news service is su perior to that of any other newspaper. It publishes more and better market reports than any Nebraska newspaper. It has the full Associated Press service. It has many special correspondent?. It has many literary rea lures incJud-. ing stories. Its Sunday issue is al-l most equal to a magazine. It carries almost twice as much advertising as any newspaper in Nebraska. It has a circulation of over 81,000 copies a day. It has a fine special cable ser-1 vice of the news of the world. It has features for women and features for children, and for six months it costs only $3.00 for daily and Sunday. Ad vertisement. V M. A.

HERALD WANT ADS RESULTS, j ALSPAR The Varnish That Won't Turn White LEGION MEN ARE IN FAVOR OF A BONUS IN GASH riGlRL'S FROM NEBRASKA ARE STRONGLY THAT WAY. Alliance Vole Incomplete, But the lath Payment Plan Is Far in the Lead So Far. Over 5.000 ex-service men in Ne braska have been personally inter viewed durmir ; the state-wide census being conducted by the American Le gion, according to Frank B. O'Connell, state adjutant. Of this number 40 per cent favor the cash feature of the ad justed compensation bill now before congress. Only thirty-six veterans statt-d that they are opposed to the measure. - Reports received from sixty-four posts from thirty counties In the state received at the Lincoln office up to Wednesday show 1,062 men with a preference for farm and home aid, 1,321 choosing the insurance features, 126 for vocational training, and 1,622 favoring cash payments. A large num ber of the latter, Mr. O'Connell asserts, are men who served but a short time and would not receive enough to war-, rant taking any of the other opera-' lions, as provided in the bill introduced by the Lgion. Over 250 local posts are still work ing on the census, and it is estimated that practically all of the 55,000 ex service men of the state will be inter viewed. Information in regard to claims against the government, the employment situation and other facts are ascertained by the Legionnaires. Mr. O'Connell said Wednesday that the results of census so far tabulated in Nebraska indicate that the Legion bill is exactly what the men want. Chanpes being made in the bill in committee in Washington will prob ably suit the veterans, he said, if not too drtic, and if some method of cash payments are included, as some ex service men are in actual need of im mediate financial aid. FINAL TRIBUTE IS PAID BY FRIENDS OF E. T. KIBBLE (Continued from Page 1.) "It was but little over a week -ago that our brother, Eph Kibble, was an active, honored and respected citizen of Alliance and western Nebraska, taking part in our business and social affairs, planning for the future, and warming the hearts of his fellow men with the cheering smile with which he greeted all. "Eph Kibble was a p!oneer in every sense of the word.' His parents were pioneers who came from the east to locate near York, Nebraska, in 1870. And it was this pioneering spirit which caused our deceased brother to come to Alliance in 1907. His p repressive ness and his far-sightedness were al ways of benefit to his town and his country. Few men have had the op portunity or the ability to build up their town and county as had our brother. For years he was the mov ing' spirit in the sending of excellent and attractive agricultural displays to the state fair at Lincoln, accompany ing the exhibits and doing missionary work in spreading the gospel of oppor tunity that awaits the farmer who comes here to till the fertile soils. Many of our most prosperous and pro gressive farmers in this county owe their success to our brother. . Was a Leading Citiien "In municipal affair Eph Kibble was always active and his influence was always for good. During his term as city councilman he had much to do with the rapid advancement of the city and he has never ceased to do his duty as a leading citizen. His work as a member of the Alliance Chamber of Commerce, for he took a leading part. He had been looking forward with quet of the chamber next week andt there will be a vacant chair there i which cannot be filled. . I "History's Daze abounds with those I who have struggled forth from the nameless crowd, and, standing forward in the front ranks, challenged the notice of their fellow men; and it has been indeed a privilege to us to know an 4 associate with a man who fighting at 1 times the handicap of physical weakness, placed before us a record of accomplishment that will remain as a monument far more enduring than granite and marble. His record as one of our foremost citizens will always be an inspiration to his children and we, as fellow citizens and brothers, will take pleasure in carrying on the work which he did so well. The people of our city and county will little note, nor leng remember, the words spoken to day, but they will never forget what our brother has done. It is for us, the living, to take up and carry on the good work which he so nobly partici pated in. "He, who lies here, was both friend and brother. We will miss him in our lodge circles, we will miss him in our! business activities, we will miss his! cheering words and happy smile. But knowing that he believed in the eter nal principles of right, we are com forted. He valued liberty, loved truth, and was just in his dealings with all men, and gracious and brotherly in the observance of true equality. He bore the trials of life and fought its battles' till tired and weary of the struggle he i fell asleep. For him eternal rest re-1 mains. "The night is gone, and with the mern those angel faces smile,' which he had loved long since and lost, awhile.' May God make and keeo us! worthy of the memory of Eph Kibble." 1MLSPAR seafa, J ENAMEL Have you seen the "last word" In millinery Don't fail to see the truly delightful models shown at The Fashion Shop at their sev enth annual Spring opening, Saturday.
