The Herald "points with pride" to
the persons who are adding thetr
names to its subscription list per
sons who are interested in the de

the prosperity of the people of this
part of the state, and who most
heartily endorse the square deal and
decency for which this paper stands.
The Hastings Republican of May
10th tried to boost the state athlet
ic track meet that was held In that
city the following Friday, but in so
doing the proof reader failed to ob
serve that the letter "L" had slip

the second "T", making the big head
lines say "Stale Athletic Track
Meet". The editor of the Republl
can tried to work up enthusiasm for
the event, but the headiug of his ar

WINDING UP SCHOOL WORK

Mis.- Jones, and Miss McQulnn.
l.a.-i week The Herald contained a
short editorial In regard to central
telephone offices in general and the
Alliance central in particular. Per
sons who read the item and will read
the ad this week of the Nebraska
Telephone Co. may think that either
the editor knew what would be in
the telephone advertisement this
week and anticipated it with an ed
itorial containing something similar,
or else that the telephone people
wrote an ad for this week based on
what was printed in the paper .
week ago; but We assure our read
cis that nelthttr w-as the case, it is
simply a case of accidental colnci
dence. We wish to call attention to
the ad above mentioned, not as
matter of business, but because It
contains some such wholesome ad
vice on common courtesy thai It Is
worth reading by persons who do
not use telephones as well as b
those who do.

WILL PRINT EARLIER
Formerly The Herald was printed
Thursday evening of each week.
Since moving into our new quarters
we have been printing earlier In the
day, commencing to print a little be
fore noon, and giving business men
until Thursday morning to get in
their orders for advertising and copy
for the same. This has been a
great improvement over printing in
the evening, but we lind it necessary
to make a furthur change, by requir
ing copy for advertisements to be
lumished BEFORE THURSDAY
MORNING. We try to be accommo
dating, and as long as the forms of
the paper are not closed, dislike to
refuse to accept advertisements that
our customers want published; but
we tind that, by permitting advertis
ers to wait until Thursday morning
to furnish copy, so much work piles
up for the forenoon that it is al
most, or quite, impossible to get to
press until afternoon. The print
ing of this issue is delayed until af
ternoon. We are fully convinced
thai it will be very much better to
print Thursday morning than in the
afternoon or evening of that day,
hence earnestly urge our friends who
have news items which they wish
printed to govern themselves accordingly.
TRIP TO HASTINGS
