Approximately 12,840,000 bushels
of potatoes will be raised in Nebras
ka this yenr, according to the esti
mate of the Bureau of Markets,
United States Department of Agri
culture, made public this week. The
report is based on information gath
ered up to and including the first of
September. The 1917 potato crop
in this state will exceed the 1916
crop by .r.17.r,.000 bushels, according
to the crop report. The estimated
19 16 crop, based on December 1 fig

i mates the entire potato crop of the
nlJited States this year at 4ti2,000.

number of the boys who were anxious
to make the team were out practic

team this year 1b very different from
that of last year. Only two men of
last years team remain to "get into
the game," they being Captain Floyd
Lotspeich and Howard Bennett. This
year will make the third year for
Captain Lotspeich and the second
year for Howard Bennett.
Coach T. R. Crawford believes he
has a bunch of good material for the
1917 team, but most of it is raw and
it will take considerable work to whip
the team into tirst class shape. There
are a good bunch of aspirants for the

"sp the wmi m mm
One of our readers has figured out that so much advertising is
one of the reasons for the high cost of living and it may be that oth
ers have the same idea. Our friend seems to think the cost of adver
tising is added to the cost of manufacture or selling to increase the
cost to the consumer.
In the first place, the advertising in The Alliance Herald very .di
rectly and definitely reduces the cost of one item. Instead of paying
$1.50 a year for The Herald, you would have to pay at least $5 a year
if it was not for the advertising. Your $1.50 does not begin to pay
the cost of paper and ink and printing and folding and of illustra
tions, correspondence and special features. The advertising pays the
difference, and you get the benefit of a $5 paper because we carry the
advertising we do.
We can get a good price for advertising because Tho Herald
reaches more than 3,000 homes, and it is cheaper for these advertisers
to tell their story through The Alliance Herald than in any other way.
They pay us 25 cents an inch, and that sounds like a whole lot of mon
ey. But if you will divide 25 cents (the cost of a 1-inch advertise
ment one time), by 3,000, you will see that it costs them only eight
one-thousandths of a cent to send a 1-inch advertisement to you in
your copy of The Herald. It would cost them 1 cent, or more than
142 times as much, to send you a postal card, and it would cost them
2 cents, or more than 28 i times as much, to send you a letter. In oth
er words, the advertiser can send you and 2,999 others like you a full
page advertisement in The Herald and pay 25 cents an inch for each
of the 120 inches in the page for what it would cost him to send each
of the 3,000 families a post card. The advertiser can send you all a

to send you all a letter. Should be desire to use advertisements of
less than page size he conld send you four quarter-page advertise
ments that is, talk to you four different weeks for what it would
cost him to send you all one post card. He could talk to you onoe
each week for eight weeks for the cost of the letters. Smaller sised
advertisements would mean he could talk to you an even greater num
ber of times for the same money. If the firm sent a man to see you
the cost would be still greater than the cost of the letters. The ele
ment of cost of stationery and printing, together with the labor in
volved in gettmg the cards or lotters addressed, has not been consid
ered in the figures above. .
As a matter of fact, advertising has decreased the cost of mer
chandise to the consumer. Most manufacturers and merchants ad

A friend of the writer recently went into a small store in Lincoln

The indications that the Northwest

The Scottsbluff Star-Herald, In
commenting on the possibility of the.
company taking some action, says
It Is apparent from the latest de
velopments that the Northwestern
has Its "ear to the ground" so far as
Scottsbluff Is concerned and is await
ing a showing to be made before
placing Hcottsbluff on the budget for
otensinn lines to be built during

considered and prepared, and the
loud is desirous of obtaining the
necessary information on which to
base the proposed Hay Springs-
Scottsbluff line."
I nis much is learned from sourc
es iu immediate touch with President
Ashton and other high officials of the

"It is also learned from the same
source that 'the higher officials as
well as the financial department of

with the idea, which has become pre

by a rush on the part of the railroads

seemingly have not fully made up
On ir minds us yet. The question Of
arfauther the extension will be con

or from Hemlngford to Scottsbluff is
also iu the air.
The whole proposition may be

would seem, however, that when

be made this coming year, or even at,

would be a mighty uproar and a lot

The Herald offers this for just whai
It is worth. The Herald knows no
mure about the proposition than that
it is telling, but it does know that if
there even a small chance of gel

that chance should not be left to die
from neglect.
There has been talk of extensions

f C Martin of the Northwestern
was in Scottsbluff last week, and, ac
cording to the Star-Herald, stated
thai the matter of the proposed line
had been broached to President Ash

was interested. Mr Martin is con

stated that in order lo aecure results
