IT IS RUMORED that a certain fashionably young lady in Alliance kneels
bread with her gloves on. This incident may be peculiar, but there are ott
ers. Now we need bread with our shoes on, and we need bread with owr
shirts on, and we need bread with our pants on, and unless we get busy aid
stir up some of Box Butte county's dirt and raise wheat and corn, we will scn
need bread without a thing on, and this town will be a garden of Eden gjld
short on fig leaves. We are all to blame for the high cost of liriag.' ll's
production we need, instead of investigation. There is no time for, high cfst
of living in Box Butte county if we will use the opportunities in sight and felt
letting ninety (90) per cent of our fertile soil lay in waste. The best prwpfsi- .
tion in sight is to till the soil and produce the needed bread. You know i ou
can buy a farm in Box Butte county and pay for it with one-third of tEe Z-Z.
breadstuff that the eastern speculators had to sell to get the money he paid for
this land, and you know that he paid for it with the production of breadstuff
at one-third the price it now is, and you should know that the Box Butte
farmer received the highest price for his spuds of any farmer in the United
States, and we are hero to show you that' we can sell you a farm for less than
one-half what you can buy one equally as good for in any other part of the
United States and don't you know there has been more land sold in Box Butte
county in the last six weeks than there was sold Jn the last six years, and you
know that land has just started to soar as has everything else, and can't you
ee if you get in rigai now and buy some of our best bargains you will double
your money before you have to pay for all of it? We want you to call at our
