EMPHASIZED BY CONTRAST Tlio enonnouH graft often ituhilKni in liy oflico holders who are in politics for what they onn make out of it, is emtihaNizerf by contrast, or comparison, when a reform happens to take place in npito of their efforts to prevent it. At the. lat ne-ssion of the Nebraska legislature Representative Charlo Naylor of Dawes county was made chairman of the house committee on engrossed and enrolled bills. This was fortunate for the commonwealth' but unfortunate for the hangers-on who swarm the state capitol building at every session of the legisla ture for a grab at legiirfativc graft. When Chairman Naylor brot in the last batch of bills, at the clos ing session of the legislature, he filed a report stating that all the w ork of his department had been done by four persons, where two years before twenty-three had been employed. He sent up a statement as a testimonial to the efficiency of the force working under his supervis ion, and it was incorporated in the record, with their names. I r- ALLIANCE, NEBRASKA Do you know Alliance! It's time you did. Alliance is the leading city of western Nebraska and the metrop olis of that part of the state known as the Nebraska Panhandle. Alliance, having complied with Ihe requirements of the laws of Nebraska relnting to changing from a city of the second-class to a city of the first-class, has been declared by the governor of the state to be a city of the first-clasn. Alliance is headquarters of the Nebraska Stock (Jrowers Associa tion, according to the articles of incorporation. Each year in .June the annual convention of the association is held at Alliance, in connec tion with a three days' celebration, which is attended by thousands of people from the surrounding country and neighboring towns. Altho headquarters for the. ranching interests of the nearby sand hills country, Alliance, is not located in the hills but on a fertile plain or table land, on which farming and dairying are carried on success fully. Many other good things might be said about Alliance and other western Nebraska towns, and will be in future issues, but for the pres ent suffice to add that at Alliance is the home office of The Nebraska Stockman, "Nebraska's exclusive live stock paper." IT IS PAID FOR A strictly cash in advance policy has been adopted for subscrip tions to The Nebraska Stockman. The subscription price is small, and it will be less trouble for subscribers to pay in advance than it will be for ns to onen suhscrmt ion accounts. Kacn month a few sample copies will be sent out as an invitation to the persons receiving them to subscribe, but the number of copies o mailed will not exceed, on an average, ten per cent of the actual number of subscribers. All copies so mailed will have written or stamped on them, ''Sample Copy. A number of persons have subscribed for the paper to be sent to one or more of their friends. We shall try to encourage others to do the same. If you receive the paper, and if it does not have "Sample Copy" stamped or written on it, you may take it for granted that it is a present to you from some one else. When so desired bv a sub Rcriber, we send The Alliance Herald without advance payment, and collect for it afterwards, but not so with The Nebraska Stockman. The subscription price of The Nebraska Stockman is so small that there is no reasonable excuse for opening subscription accounts. We may possibly send subscribers notices of the expiration of the time for which their subscriptions have been paid. That is a matter to be de cided later. Hut AltSOLUTKLY no statements for back subscrip tions will be sent to subscribers. When the time for which a sub acription has been paid expires, unless it is renewed in advance by the subscriber or some ewe, the paper will STOP.

On the general run of beef and near Leei the market was very slow and prices were generally lower. Cows and hell ers were also slow to lOloc lower than last week and all grades of stock cattle and feeding steers except ilioice yearling were dull and IQii 15c lower.

"WATCH US GROW" It's a common saying, "Watch us grow." We don't say it be cause others are saying it, but because we want the friends of The Nebraska Stockman to observe it push to the front. We do not refer principally to growth in the size of the paper, altho that may be in creased ; or to the period bf publication, which will probably be changed later from once a month to semi-monthly or weekly; but we refer to the ClRCULATfON. On account of The Nebraska Stockman being printed in connec- tion with special monthly stockmen's editions of The Alliance Herald, which has a large circulation, we have made but little effort so far to Becurc subscriptions for the former; but the expanding of the busi ness is such as to make it desirable to have a large independent cir culation for The Nebraska Stockman, hence we have decided to push for a large subscription list. So here goes. When announcement of the intended publication of The Nebraska Stockman was first made, the subscription price was set at 50 cents per year. As an aid to securing a large circulation, the price has been put down to 25 cents. This does not mean that the paper is not worth the former price or that we will lose money by publishing it at the lat ter price. In getting out an issue of the paper, the expense prelimin ary to putting the forms on the press, such as writing copy, making ruts, setting type, making up forms, etc., is the same whether a hund red copies are printed, or a thousand or ten thousand or more. After the forms are on the press, the cost of paper, press work, folding, mail ing, and postage (with second-class mail privilege, for which applica tion will be made), is less than one cent per copy, hence it will be seen that three subscriptions for the monthly paper at 25 cents per year are better for us than one at 50 cents, but the paper is no less valuable to its readers than it would be if the higher price were charged. With the low price at which the paper is now being published, we expect readers of The Nebraska Stockman to assist in increasing its iiculation by subscribing for it for their friends; and in this we will not be disappointed, as they are already doing it. As a further in ducement to secure this kind of co-operation, we are offering five year ly subscriptions for one dollar; that is ,we will send the paper one year to each of five different addresses, or five years to one address, AUTOMOBILE THANKSGIVING easily oh, In every way they are tm proved." "Improved!" shouted the deacon, un able to restrain himself longer. "You can't pick up a paper without read in' about some shockln' accident through carelessly driven automobiles. Im proved! They can't be Improved. They are Inventions of the evil one himself. You can't tell me! I read the papers." "Walt a minute, father!" laughed Thomas, amid the eager looks of all the others, who were evidently full of suppressed excitement. "We well we we feel as though we all wanted to see more ot you and mother than we have seen lately, but we dont feel safe to have you traveling around on the cart any more, and four horses cant take you as far as most of ua live, so we have clubbed together and have bought you the strongest and handsomest limousine car that we could find. We have put a sum at in terest In the bank to pay tor the keep ing of It. and we have had Job taught how to run It. You know he has been away a good many afternoons. Well, he has been learning b,ow to run car. You can trust him. and now you and mother can heat a big soapstone and climb Into your limousine and come and see us all, and we expect you to do it Now what do you say to that, father?" What could the old man say?
