President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Superintendent Members Board of Managers Pursuant to announcement in The Herald a meeting- was held at the Commercial club room last night for the perfect ing of the organization of the Box Butte County Agriculture and air Association, which was accomplished by the adop tion of a constitution and by-laws and the election of officers above named. In the selection of officers the meeting was unanimously in favor of choosing men who had ability and who would give the work assigned! them sufficient time to make a success of it. The association is fortunate in the selection of its first corps of officers.! Work will be commenced at once on the preparation of premium list and the appointment of division superintendents and other assistants. The Heraldwill keep its readers post ed nn the progress of the work. A Quiet Celebration However much the small hoy may tltlulnrrrrljoyahle 4th of July celebra tion without noise is impossible, there was such a time a mile and a half uorth of town in tho grove of JuliusAtz. Be tween thirty-five and forty people were present, some neighbors from the country and some from town. Ice cream and lemonade were on tap dur ing the day and a picnic dinner was served in the grove. Among those present were Mr. and Mrs. J. N, John ston and daughters, Mrs- Hanson, Mr. and Mrs. Bruckner, Mrs. B- H. Fern aid and Mr. and Mrs- F. M. Russell. Much credit is given Mrs. Atz for the success of the celebration, which was thoroughly enjoyed by all present. New Series of Agricultural Articles. Readers of The Herald who have followed our "Home Course in Modern Agriculture," recently completed, will be pleased to learn that we are just beginning the publication of another series of articles by the same author, under the caption, " Making Money on the Farm." These are what are term ed syndicate articles aud are published from plates secured from the American Press Association, Omaha. They are of a general character, that is they are intended for this country at large, and while containing a great deal of inter esting and useful information do not have direct and special application to this country as do the articles in our department of "Agricultural Experi mentation in Box Butte County," edited by Prof. Hunt. The latter are written especially for The Herald, and some other papers in this part of the state that have re quested copy of the same, and are of direct and personal interest to farmers in Box Butte and adjoining counties. There is nothing better published on the subject of agriculture in north western Nebraska than the articles written by Prof. Hunt this summer, and every farmer and otjier person in terested in farming in this country should read them, Better Farming Needed County Commissioner J. M. Wanek, who is in the city this week attendiug the meeting of the board of equaliza tion, called at The Herald office last evening long enough for a little chat. He has been in this country for twenty, five years, coming here from Madison county, Nebr., and lias had an exten Geo. D. Darling James Hunter Dick Waters Clias. Brennan ; Jos. Vaughn C. A. Newberry Ira E. Tash Glen Miller Win. James C. A. Anderson sive experience in farming and stock raising, in which ho has been quite successful on his plucu west of Hem ingfofd. In his conversation he confirmed what we have been advocating in this paper in regard to the need of better farming iu this country. He says that more of such crops os corn and potatoes should be grown in order to givo the land more tillage. Such talk as that encourages us to continue our campaign for the development of this country by improv ed methods in agriculture as well as by an increased amount of farming. First Six Months' Rainfall It is claimed that seven and one half inches of water (rainfall), if prop erly conserved, will grow a good crop iu this country, The more we learu of scientific agriculture the more fully are we convinced that the statcmeut is correct. If it is only approximately correct, there has already been enough rain this year to make a "bumper crop" iu Box Butte county. Acting upon the suggestion of A. R. Wilson and through the kindness of J. Kridel baugh, C. B. & Q. freight agent at Al liance, we givo our readers the follow ing statement by mouths of the pre cipitation here so far this year: Month Inches Rainfall January .55 February v 1,22 March 1.30 April 1.38 May 3.57 June 5.50 Total for six months 13.52 Newberry's New Block. Excavating for the new Newberry block at the northwest corner of Mon tana street and Laramie avenue is be ing done this week. Mr. Newberry informs us that he expects the building to be completed in about three mouths. It will be three stories aud basement, and will face north on Montana street. w. rrOotes The Alliance Woman's Christian Temperance Union meets the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month at the homes of the members.

The library table at tho Burlington station seems to be well patronized, as it is difficult to keep it supplied with reading matter. Anyone having good, clean periodicals, bearing especially on religious or temperance subjects, which they will donate for this pur pose, will receive tho gratitude of the ladies if they will notify Mrs. J. W. Reed, Tel. 295, who has charge of this department. v :'Hxxx'XX'x 1 ANNOUNCEMENTS. V METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH Next Sunday will conclude the double scries of sermons on the subjects of the Church and Heaven. Morning: "The Church, Its Mission;" evening: "Heav en, Its Sinlcssncss and Worship." FIKST PRE3UYTKRIAN CHUKCII Dr. Bogue will occupy tho pulpit Sunday, July 11, morning and evening. All other services to be held as usual. Woodmen of the World Hmil L. Moll, the special deputy for the Woodmen of the World, who has been looking up new business in the city of Al liance for the past five weeks, expects to go to Scottsbluff within a few days to pre pare for the organization of a camp of the Woodmen of the World in two or three towns in the valley. He will then return to Alliance to complete the work of insti tuting a new camp in this city. Local Woodmen look forward to the next few months with considerable inter est, for following close upon the organi zation of the new camp the monument of the order to be erected to the memory of Sov. Floyd Watson will be unveiled, and the splendid qualities of the order which have been demonstrated in a most practi cal way have caused a number who have been skeptical regarding the benefits of fraternal insurance to begin personal in vestigation and inquiry. The Woodmen of the World stands high in the country today for the reason that its assessment rates are adequate to mature every policy written, enabling it to pay dollar for dol lar for every obligation assumed, and considering thi-large number of cheaper rate societies, its splendid growth is a matter of congratulation to every worker in tho field. Mr. Moll has made many friends in the city during his stay, and while loath to leave the influence of these friends, the work of the deputy is necessarily mixed clouds and sunshine, in that about the time a circle of friends is established he must push on into new fields. The fact that he may feel that he has done every one a good turn by directing their atten tion to a safe and substantial life insurance society in a measure makes many of the less satisfactory things in connection with the work seem Insignificant. Important Meeting of Woman's Club The Woman'B Club of Alliance will meet Friday, July 9, at 3:30 p. 111. with Mrs. Mewhirter. All members are requested to be present as import ant business is to be transacted. Mrs. L. C. Thomas, Sec. Do you want a rug? Smith velvets 27x54 inches at Si. 38 each next Satur day, June 10th.

Cash. 5667 - --H The national birthday was observed by the Normal on July 2d, Special patriotic music had been prepared for the occasion by the Normal quartet. Hon. I E. Tash delivered a brief but foiceful address to the students, He called attention to tho progress the pountry is making nud what it really means to exerciso intelligently tho right of citizenship and suffrage and urged the ladies to see to it that when the right of suffrngo should be extended to them, as it surely would in the not distant future, they would bo found ready to exerciso the right with credit to themselves aud benefit to their couutry. Principal D. W, Hayes departed for Denver last Saturday to attend tho meeting of the Natioual Educational association which is in session, there' this week. He will probably return" tho latter part of this week. Superintendent Ora Phillips has charge of the work in school law this week. Superintendent Agues Lackuy of Scotts Bluff county intended to be here this week to take charge of this work but found it impossible to be here. She will, however, be here for a week sometime later in the summer for the purpose of conducting classes, in school law. School convened Tuesday after a vacation since Friday and most of the , students reported for work, but some looked as though they had had too much celebration. Will Move Store Next Mondajr" On next Monday J. P. Colburn will move his dry goods and clothing store into the room formerly occupied by Bcal Bros., first door south of The Herald printing office. This room has just been nicely papered, ceiled and painted, and will be one of tho finest in the city for the display of merchan-' disc Mr. Colburn will open a uew stock of goods upon moving into his uew quarters, New Service Building Work has been commenced on the new C. B. & O- service building about one hundred feet west of the station. This building will be 33x104 feet in di mensions. It is, we believe, the first building of tho kind constructed in Ne braska, and will ho n great convenience to conductors and other trainmen, linemen, aud other railroad mqn by whom it will be used. It will take the place of various small buildings and shacks, and will cost $20,000 or more. In addition to constructing the ser vice building, various other improve ments are being made which will make the total expended by the Burlington in permanent construction here this' year about $30,000. This means something to Alliance and is much a'p. predated by our people- SltaTSngluTwell The Phillips-Thomas Land company starts out well for a new real estate firm. Besides some business with local buyers, they have recently sold Box Butte.co'unty soil to parties from Lancaster, Dixon and Cuming counties. I NORMAL NOTES
