Necewdty of Inloii Among Htotkruen
"In union there la strength." It
la evident that there ought to be
closer union among the live Block in
terest. Peraona who are not posted
n what baa already been accom
plished by tbe Nebraska Stock
Growers Association will be ssrprls
d by an investigation. While the
expenses of the organization have
Veen borne by a comparatively few
(tbe membership being composed of
only a small part of tbe stockmen of
the state), tbe work done has not
only more than repaid the members
but baa either directly or Indirectly
benefitted those-who are not mem
bers. '
Ntbrafcka Is called an agricultural
state, but it Is more than that. It
Is one of the leading "Block growing
states. There Is no part of the state
-where the raising of lire stock Is not
an Important industry, bnt In a
large part of the state stock raising
la of vastly more Importance than
crop growing. As tbe rural dis
tricts become eventually land that
5s good only, or principally, for
grating will go back Into the hands
ef stockmen, under deeds from the
Aomestsaders; and when they own
the land they will raise a better
grade of stuff than they did with
free range and free pasture. . Tbls
with better winter feed and care will
Immensely Increase the value of the
products of the "raw country";
while cattle and hogs will never
eas to be raised In abundance In
those parts of our state where corn
auid alfalfa are the leading agricul
tural products. t ,
- A Getting in Touch Movement
There should be more co-operation
among the live stock Interests of this
state. The Herald bell eves this can
be accomplished by a "Retting In
touch" movement, and is glad to take
the lead in trying to bring about the
desired results. This Ib an Age in
which interests succeed, not by fight
Ing among themselves or being In
different towards each other, but by
wAvLInf, io,lli,p frtr the flrrnninlinh
ment of a given purpoae. Co-opera
tio'n among those engaged in tbe
fame Industry or business spells sue
ess.
Organization is an important fac
tor for the promotion of co-opera
lion. It Is not possible to obtain as
great results without proper organ
izatlon as with It. For this reason
The Herald strongly advises all Ne
braska stockmen to Join tbe Nebras
ka Stock Growers Association. The
coat of membership Is Insignificant
In proportion to the benefits to be de
rived, and the larger the member
ship tbe less will be the cost to tbe
Individual member. . The splendid
work of the association and tbe ben
efits to the live stock Interests of the
state are not as fully appreciated as
they should be.
If you want to know more about
the Nebraska Flock Growers Associ
ation and Its members, read The
Herald. It will be a help In this
getting In touch movement for stock
men to become better acquainted, as
well as for tbe Information of read
ers generally, we are going to Intro
duce thru these columns as many as
possible of the members of the N". S.
(i. A. Watch succeeding Issues for
them.
ltenoiiN for Joining N. 8. (J. A.
There are many reasons why
stockmen of this state should join
the Nebraska Stock Growers Associ
ation and no good reason, so far as
we know, why they should not. In
mentioning a few of these reasons
we stake no at(mpt to name tlMm
in tb' order of tfolr relative Import-'
ante.
Matt of legislMtlon arise from
time to tune affectlnr th live stock;
Industry. Stockmen know better
than anyfaly else wliat is to their
Interests aad to what they are en
titled. An Individual request, or pro-
i, , test has llttl or no weight compared
with the Influence of a demawl from!
a nonpartisan organization compos
ed of leading, rltlzens of the state.
The Nebraska legislature 1U be in
session again next winter. Every
stockman In tbe state shouM a
member of the N. S. G. A. ton be
fore that time.
There have been times wbeni tbe
work of the association In matters
pertaining to the eradication of dis
ease, quarantine,, etc., have beets f
more value to th live stock 1 arr
ests than the cost of running the or
ganization. Tbe officers are men, of
executive ability who are competent
to handle matters coming before
them for their attention. They
should have the basking of all The

Brand inspection 1st a matter of
great importance t all who are iaj
danger at any time of- losing cattle:
or horses by being, stolen or stray-
Ing. Some of the good work of the,
association benefits stockmen who
are not members a well as those-!
who are, by making It dangerous for i
cattle thieves to try to operate in
this state, but no one has a right to
expect the benefit of the brand In

A. T. Wright, general chairman
of the Burlington Order of Railroad
Conductors, was in Alliance today
for a short time on his way to Oma
ha from Billings where he made a
short TiBit with his family. He re
ports that the order is In a very sat
isfactory condition. A recent agree
ment with the cpmpany grants the
men several improvements in work
ing conditions and in some instances
increase in pay.
W. W. Norton and W. C. Mounts

trip to ScottsblufT. They report con
ditions very prosperous.
Mrs. il. A. Hamilton is the pos
sessor of a unique sofa pillow. Ia
appearance it does aot differ greatly
from the erd'nary pillow. It is the
filler that gives this pillow claim te
uniqueness. Mr. Hamilton is an en
gineer pulling the Denver trains.
The orders he receives are carefully
saved by Mrs. Hamilton and used by
her in filling sofa pillows. During
the two years that she has followed
this custom, she has made one pillow
and now has orders enough collected
to fill another. Tbe paper upon
which the orders are written is very
soft and 1b therefore well adapted te
the purpose to which it is put.
James Seaman, who has been vis
iting here with his daughter, Mrs.
Hattie Owen, returned to his home
in York today.
C. H. Leigh, who has been visiting
