Money Invested
in a Home Brings
You Real Rewards
that cannot be measured alone
in dollars and cents. There's
satisfaction in knowing you
have a home when possibly
all other investments fail it
gives you a feeling of security
anddemands the recognition of
your fellow townsmen, because
by building you show your
faith in the future of the com
munity. And every commun
ity is known by its deeds. You
can help and at the same time
help yourself. A boms invest
ment is always the most meri
torious, and loss is U-ss likely
because you are dealing in
values you understand and
with ieole you know. Y
have supplied the lumber for
the bomes of many of your
friends wbo are now on the
ro.nl to success, and want to
talk with you whenever you're
ready.

ing from his trip to Indiana and

care before the opening of the racing
season he no doubt would have won
better mention. Hill informs us that
the corn in Illinois, Indiana and O
hlo will make a bumper crop this
year, that the small grain la fairly
good, but that hay will be short and
potatoes practically a failure. Such
newa as this makes us feel more
and more how much we are losing by
not having In a crop of potatoes in
Box Butte county.

Prof. G. H. Williams will leave Al
liance tonight, going from here to
Lincoln, where he Intends to take 11
three year course in the law school
of the State University.
It Is needless to say that The Her
ald regrets to see Mr. Williams take
his departure from our city. He will
be greatly missed. He has been
not only a successful teacher In the
High school, in which he has been
an instructor three years, two years j
as principal, but also a great help to)
the young people tn other ways. As
director of the High school orches
tra, he has brought that organisation
to a standard of efficiency seldom
attained by any such organization.
In so many ways has he been
helpful that he will be greatly miss
ed, not only by The Herald and
those connectedwlth It, but by the
people of this city in general. If
It had been possible to persuade him
to have remained in Alliance, we
are sure that there were many here
who would use their powers of per
suasion to Induce him to stay; but
having fully decided to pursue a
course of law study, he declined to
accept again the position which he
held here in the High school. The
Herald Joins with a host of friends
here In wishing him success, which
we are sure he will attain in his
studies as well as In the practice of
the legal profession hereafter.
