Political advertisement:
6. L Shumway of Scottsbluff
G. L. Shumway is a pioneer;
In fact and in politics. He is
advanced on labor questions.
Stephen Marlon Reynolds,
who has done more to improve
labor conditions in Indiana than
any other man says:
Shumway is one of the
broadest and most liberal mind
ed men I ever met. The first I
ever knew to give labor a voice
on the chautauqua platform."
Shumway knows the west like
a book. He ought to get the
vote of Box Butte county. He
is one of us, and with our people
on all important questions.
To illustrate the clearness,
terseness and practical way he
goes after a thing read this:
"The country demands down
ward revision of the tariff. A
bill to accomplish this should
contain not hundreds of
schedules but a few short words:
'Be it enacted, etc., that all
duties on imports shall be re
duced twenty per cent from
present schedules.' That would
do the business, and no mystery
or magic about it."
New Store for Alliance.
Phil Pizcr, an enterprising young
business man who was iu Alliance sev
eral weeks ago looking over the situa
tion, has decided to locate here. He
leased the building next to Copelaud &
Nation's barber shop ou the cast side
of Box Butte aveuue and will open an
exclusive gent's furnishing store on the
15th. Some of his goods have already
arrived and more are on the way. The
new store will be called, "The Palace
for Men" and will have everything for
men. Mr. Pizer has been traveling
over a great deal of the west in the last
six months and he tells us that Alliance
is the busiest town of its size that he
has seen. He comes from the south
where most of his life has been spent.
First Presbyterian Church
The servicos for next Sunday will be as
follows: Sabbath-school, 10 a. m.. morning
preaching service, nam. The subject
for the morninR service will be, "The
True Worship." A warm'welcome will be
given to all who may attend these services.
A cordial invitation is extended to strang
ers James B. Brown, Minister.
A Busy Bakery
Otic of the busiest Alliance establish
ments Is the Pardee Bakery. This
bakery has u capacity of two thousand
loaves of the fatuous Pardee bread per
duy tind there are times when it is
taxed to its fullest capacity. They
have recently added up-to-date bread
und cake mixing machinery. This ma
chinery is very Interesting to the novice
und it does the work entirely, the ma
terials being placed In the mixer, which
is run by electric motor, the dough uot
being touched by hand Pardee' bak
ery ships its products to many of the
smaller surrounding towns and a good
business is done. Their e.- pert help
are adepts In making special party or
wedding cakes, etc. An interesting
sight is to watch the electric bread
mixer which is started working at Ave
o'clock every morning.
Dry Farming Pays
From practically every section of the
west comes the same story. Those
farmers who have attempted to con
serve moisture, who have tried out the
methods advocated by the Dry Farm
ing Congress, have been uniformly
successful. The cries of failure and
distress have invaribly come from the
newer districts and fiom tnose farmers
who have hitherto not paid much at
tention to the dry farming system.
In a region of limited rainfall it puys
to practice dry farming methods and
by such practice insure the presence of
moisture for the periods of shortage,

While so much is being said about
the dry weather which the crop season
of 1910 has experienced in Nebraska,
Iowa, and other adjacent states, many
people are desirous of knowing how
western Nebraska and Box Butte
county in particular are taking the
drouth. The Herald reporter has in
terviewed some of the leading Alliance
real estate men and their opinions are
given below.
E. T. Kibble, of E. T. Kibble & Co-,
lias been collecting a large amount of
exhibits for the State Fair which is to be
held September 5th to oth He has
had a large number of photographs
taken of Box Butte scenes this year,
and these will be shown together with
the exhibit. Mr. Kibble states that in
his opinion all of the small grain will
average better than half the regular
crop. He has seen some wheat that
will go as high as twenty-five bushels
per acre aud some oats that will go to
forty bushels. The latest small grain
is the best. Potatoes arc the best in
years. Corn is better thau ever be
fore. Alfalfa is fiue. His propects
for the sale of Box Butte county land
are good for a fall business.

crops never looked better. Crops
around Hemingford are looking es
pecially well. John Barnstead, who

From the above statements by con

are acquainted with the local crop
situation we gather that our county

higher priced lapd in eastern localities.
