''Why do you look so jolly, Jones?" "I'll tell you, Smith, 1 havo just cancelled my jioliey in a mutual fire and lightning company, paying a dollar to get out and have takon out an old line policy with one of K. L. Pierce's old line companies. I never fait right in a mutual company a iew big losses would throw such a company into the hands of a receiver and I would be as itwml to py the e,pmi$u of winding up iU affaiig and my nlicy would cease to piotttct me." "But Jones, is it tuiy diffotout with tht! old line companies?" "AUocQthar differunt my dear friond, altogether different. In tho first placo they have h capital paid up; they hava a iHU-plufi fund in addition which holpe make jwliciea safe; they reinsure a part of all large iteks so when a large lose compa it does not cripple the com miny. T'hoy can't charge you a dollar to gat out your policy lapsing whan the tlina for wliiqli you have paid expiree." ''But Jones the tnutuals say that they have the best proposition because they offer insurance at actual cost." "Look hero sirl don't you know there is a big difference between theory and practice between things as we reason them out as they ought to be and as they are? Competition will keep prices of old line insurance down to a reasonable margin of profit which we are all willing to allow. On the other hand mismanagement, lack of capital and confidence, remoteness of member ship from central office and many other things tend to make the mutuals expen sive and unsatisfactory." "Jones I believe you are right. I was persuaded to take such a policy, but as soon as I can dig up a dollar I shall cancel out. But I want an old line policy; who did you say itisured your" "K. L.

Many Half tone Views to Appear, with Col- N umns of Interesting Reading. apIVE THOUSAND COPIES is the number decided on JJ by the management of The Herald as a special sou venir edition, to be issued from this office during- the month of February. The purpose of this mammoth is sue is to promulgate the many industrial advantages so numerous in this section of Northwestern Nebraska, and vet not generally known to the outside world. An effort will also be made to induce homeseekers to lo cate in our midst and assist in developing one of the richest most fertile and productive sections in all of Nebraska. Located at a most advantageous point, with railroad facilities leading in all directions, especially tapping the great northwest sections of South Dakota, Montana and Wyom ing, with Alliance, by reason of her location, as the natural distributing point, is there any excuse why the metropolis of Northwestern Nebraska should not strain a point in inducing manufacturing industries to seek Alliance as the logical point for such enterprises? ' With the county's immense potato crops the largest and best in-the known world it would seem to a visionary mincl that a starch factory should be among the early probabilities thus furnishing a home market for this one product. ' In the early spring thousands of migrators are dailv passing our doors, seeking a future place of residence and hunting desirable localities to invest their surplus wealth Alliance, seemingly dormant or in a state of lethargy has calmly watched this great mass of homeseekers pass on with out even a hint at our own possibilities. All this it will be our aim in the future to remedy. . Copies of this illustrated edition will not only visit every home in this section of the country, but thousands will be sent broadcast and to foreign climes, thus giving this locality such an advertising as it has ncvar before received. It will contain a general and descriptive' write-up of this portion of the state, biographical sketches of pioneers busi ness and professional men, interior and exterior views of business houses, public buildings, and a six-column view of the town proper and a birdseye of its principal street Tim Hekald has secured the services of A. 13. Evans a specialist in this class of work, who has seen many vcars service on the great dailies of this continent, and a most creditable edition may be expected. '." V oj Tfi i
