In a letter from Branch
land, W. Va., Mrs. Eliza
beth Chapman says: "I
suffered from womanly
troubles nearly five years.
All the doctors in the coun
ty did me no good. I took
Cardui, and now I am en
tirely well. I feel like a
new woman. Cardui saved
my lifel AH who suffer
from womanly trouble
should give Cardui a trial."
In recent years business men h:iv
come to realize more than formerly
.the bearing on their business of the
.prosperity of farmers and ranchmen
The interest that the former tnk in
the prosperity of the lattor Is not
op fined to the business men of the
MMiknr towns who iml dtrwtly
wi'h the farmer, but the wholesalers
MM manufacturers of the large cit
ies are as much or more Interested
in the prosperity of the farmer, be
cause it bears directly upon their
business.

of the University of Nebraska, that
Nebraska seed corn ts poorer than

state testing only 10 per cent good
seed, business men of Omahn will
use not only theiT time, but their
money, in urging on the farmers the
importance of testing all corn for

state Where weather conditions were
such that good seed corn In large
quantities was matured.

I'HONE U
Husiness men generally believe
thai k is a good policy and good bus
iness to patronize home merchants.
at least give them a trial before
sending your orders for goods away
-from home, but a business man who
does not practice what he preaches
is not consistent and hasn't much
room for complaint if some who
ought to be his customers send to
the mail order houses without even
giving the local merchant an oppor
tunity to compete with them.
It is the time of year now when
traveling salesmen for calendars and
advertising novelties begin to put in
their appearance and take orders
from iMMlBOM men for next year.
Why net give some local dealer In
these goods, if there is a local deal
er, a chance to show you samples
and quote prices before giving your
orders to a nonresident? The Her
ald has the agency for one of the
largest and best calendar printing
am' inioriing houses in America,
i Wo believe we can give you prices
as low, or lower, quality of goods
considered, than tnj charged by
rrpreseatativs of out of town
printing houus. If the order is giv
en to us, the cost of printing your
advenUBOmsnt on toe calendars will
be paid to home printers, and wliai
ever tlure may be of profit on the
job, if any. will be spent at home.
If we CM '4 give you as good H
too on cale'idars and advertising
noveltit . ins any firm doing husiness
outside of Alliance, we do not ask
for your orders, hut we do ask for
an oppon unity to show you samples
and quote -rices before you give

inteit't in building up the business

of the eastern imrt of the state Sat
Ujrday morning During their ah
sence tne hoyn met some of the
strongest teatnR in the state and
succeeded in scoring two victories
out of six games played. Although
ilc did not win a majority of their
games they made a splendid showing
considering the fnct that they play
ed a way from home, on all kinds of
floors, am! under many unfavorable
conditions. They were nlao at a
disadvantage inasmuch as they were
or the road every day and were
tlyel tired Many of. the teams
met had played several games be
fore meeting Alliance, while this was
the Alliance boys' first series for
this season. At no place were the
boys materially outclassed or over
whclmingly defeated.
The firat game was al Wahoo.
This was Wahoo's seventh game and
Alliance's first. In spite of this fact
the score at the end of the flnst half
stood 16 to 17. In the second half
Alliance took the lead but Wahoo
succeeded In getting away for sev
eral snappy baskets In the last ten
minutes. Score, Wahoo 60, Alliance,
27. The game the following night at
Syracuse was decidedly in favor of
Alliance until the last three minutes,
when Syracuse scored twto lucky
field basket and won the game.
Score, 20 to 2.1. At Auburn an Sat
urday night the boys put up a plucky
fight against the champions of
southeastern Nebraska but lost with
the score 37 to 21. The result of
Sunday's rest was shown at Fair
bury on Monday evening, where the
boys played their best game. The
earn work was exceptionally good
and the basket tossing was phenom
enal. Alliance wits easily a victor
score, 50 to :!0.
On Wednesday night rhe Peru

a victory was not expected, but the

The trip ended with a decided vic
