While taking in the town, Mr. Bliss ran across his old old friend, Secretary Fisher of the Community Club. Mr. Bliss re cently disposed of large fa:m hold ings ne ar Norfolk and WU enroute west in search of a new location. Of course he was told the many ad vantages of Box Butte County, and as a result of the railroad cccident the county will probably very soon have him for a citizen, as he is favorably impressed with the situation here, and will buy or rent a place near Al liance if a suitable place can be foud. Mr. Bliss has a want ad in this issue of the Herald in regard to farm or ranch land. Box Butte "Bean Kings" are hav ing some trouble getting their crops threshed this fall. It appears that every threshing machine is not necessarily a "bean thresher" and some of the growers are beginning to get worried over the outlook. According to some of the growers, there is only one thresherman who seems to be succeasful, so far and he has his hands full. Clyde Ship ler, one of the Alliance "Bean Mag nates", reports that he is going to get an old fashioned flail and a yoke of oxen and get his out of the pods in that manner. Clyde ship ler. Hoy Strong aad "Dad" Ewing the bean combine, sold their entire crop several weeks ago at a good price. If C ey get them threshed, they get the money. If they don't, they don't get it QUALITY GOODS AT LOWER PRICES At a time when cut prices are being an nounced by merchants; when claims of immense bargains are being made, the buyer it often bewildered.
