COMPLIMENT FROM A REPUBLICAN EDITOR
Chas. K, BaKcU, editor of the llyanni Tribune, in a recent issue
of hw paper, following the election, had the following to nay regard
ing prominent national politicians:
A discriminating correspondent notes a much Increased amia
bility In Boston toward President Wilson and Mr. Bryan since the
election. Mr, Bryan has been making some speeches at the Hub.
i He has been winning his audiences In five minutes, according to
this authority. He has also become recognized as a president
maker of unusual attainments for he not only made Wilson at the
Baltimore convention In 1912, but this year "while his mallgners
were representing Bryan aa unforgiring toward the president on
account of that nonexistent postscript, he quietly took up his tes
timony In faror of fits re-election west of the Missouri, and must
share with Hughes the credit or carrying those states for Wilson."
This discovery that Mr. Bryan'a speech making tour In doubtful
territory was followed by a train of much needed Wilson electoral
votes Is being made somewhat tardily by the eastern press, but It
Is being made And It altera to a considerable degree the attitude
' of that part of the country toward thla western Warwick. -
' GOOD ADVERTISING FOR BOX BUTTE AND SHERIDAN
The "Potato Kdition" of The Alliance Herald, published on Nov
ember 30, telling of the crop of potatoes in Box Butte and Sheridan
counties or the year 1916, has created much favorable comment, both
near and far. The wide awake real estate men of this district were
the first to see the opportunity for favorable advertising for the coun
ty and more than five thousand extra copies of that edition have been
printed for and delivered to the real estate men of Alliance and Hcm
lngford. This, in addition to the edition of 5,000 copies already print
ed of that issue (the monthly Stockman issue) makes a total of more
than 10,000 copies which have been and will be distributed telling of
the wonderful advantages of living in western Nebraska these days,
with particular reference to Box Butte and Sheridan counties.
The Chadron Journal of Friday, December 8, had the following
to say regarding the potato edition of The Herald.
The potato aoaaon Is ended for another year and the crop has
been marketed,.1 Box Butte county has a larger acreage devoted
I to the raising of t hla particular vegetable than has Dawes coun
) ty. The issue of the Alliance Herald for November 30 presents
a glowing array of figures and facts, which must be encouraging
, to the farmers who are the owners of land adapted to potato vala
i Ing. The prominent headings on the front pag of the paper make
some lofty claims: Box Butte's Potatoes Worth a Million! That
. Means Many Mortgages Lifted and Additional Land under Culti-
vation; Present Crop la a Bonanza Equal to Bucketful of Gold
i Nuggets Such aa Prospectors Looked for In Days of '49; Sheridan
County a Close Second; Wonderful Opportunity tor Man with
Some Money and Energy Acre after Acre Waiting to Make Farni-
j ' rs Immensely Wealthy!
More than 741,200 bushels of potatoes were raised la Box
F 1 Butte county and sold at the average price of $1.20. There are
6,577 acres given over'to thla industry. . This seems to be the ban-
I v ner potato county in the Btate.
In addition to the circulation already given this issue and the
publicity attendant thereon, each of the county commissioners and
clerks who arc attending the state convention here this week will car
ry home with them a copy of the potato edition and will have the facta
and figures to prove to the "folks back home" that western Nebras
ka is fast coming into its own. . ' '
THINGS MIGHT BE WORSE
Amid the agitation regarding the high cost of living and boy
cotts, diet squads, starve-yourself plans, etc., we at times forget that
things might be worse. The editor of the Crawford Courier remem
bers it, though, for he comes out with the following interesting squib':
Say, boys, let's quit mourning over the high cost of living. In
Switzerland, beef is $3.75 to $4.62 a pound; pork is $2.25, and pota
toes 27 cents. Now, Bhut up, and thank your lucky stars you live
where hekeptusoutofwar for a change.
DO SOMETHING FOR YOUR TOWN "
( ' Everybody can do something for his town. His capital may be
limited in fact, hq may have no capital at all, and yet be a strong
factor in the production of bustle, and "git up and git." What is to
hinder you from offering a word of encouragement to every under
taking! What is to hinder you from speaking well of your own town
on all occasions! What will it cost yout It is the manners of the
people that make them loved and respected. What, trouble con there
ln in meeting a stranger kindly and extending to him a warm hand of
cordiality, and informing him that the doors of the city are thrown
open to him, with an invitation to abide with ust It is just easy
enough to tell all strangers that you have the best people in the
world, and prove it by carrying them around and giving them an in
traduction. It is not the most wealthy that do the most for the town
r city in which they dwell.
RIGHT YOU ARE
The Record -Stockman, the live stock market paper of Denver.
says: "The solid west and the solid south have shown the money in
terests of New York where to head in. The west and south have been
sue,!ang the hind tit at Washington for many years. We have come
to the turning of the road, and hereafter the west and the south will
have to be given consideration."
ONE CROP PAID FOR LAND "
' A daily newspaper published in eastern Nebraska mentions with
a good deal of gusto that a few settlers in central Idaho who put in
good crops of potatoes this year paid for their land with one crop.
What of itt Why go to Idaho for instances of the kind! Right here
in Box Butte and other northwestern Nebraska counties are plenty of
farmers who have made enough money on growing forty acres of po
tatoes to pay for a quarter section of the same kind of land on which
the 6puds were grown, and some have done it on twenty to twenty
five acres. If you want to learn something about potato growing
