the welcome new that he had won
the 1 S0 silver trophy cup, given
by the Nebraska Press Association
as first prize In the Job printing con
test In which there were about 100
entries from Job printers all over the
state. The cup Is being engraved

Grand IbIrwI Independent; second
prize of $;'.5 to the Fremont Tribune
and fourth prize to Mr. Sallows. The

Mr. Sallows and The Times.
Persons who have read The Herald
the last four years need not be told
that we are pleased with the appoint
ment of Richard L. Metcalfe as gov
ernor of the Panama canal zone, a
position that carries with It a salary
of $14,000 per year. In our opinion
President Wilson could not have found
a better man for the position. If we
were to try to say all the compllmen
tary things that we feel like saying
about Mr. Metcalfe it. would require
more space than we have at our dis
posal In this issue, but after all only
two word are really necessary to
describe his qualifications for such
a responsible position. They are
words that carry a world of mean
ing, "Integrity" and 'ability".

Special Notice
Our Club Sale of Pianos and
Player-Pianos has more than come
up to our expectations. We have
sold a lot of Pianos and Player-pianos,
and were it not for the quar
antine for the smallpox in our city,
which to a degree affected business
in general at Alliance and vicinity,
we would have undoubtedly sold a
great many more.
The local management of our Al
liance store believes that if we'd extend
the date of closing of the club sale from
May 31 Until July 3
those who might have joined the club
but who were prevented on account of
the smallpox at Alliance and vicinity,
will take advantage of a further oppor
tunity if presented. We have therefore
decided to extend the time from May
3 1 st to July 3d.
Remember, the Club will
