tm ftftDAY. NOVKMBKR, 91, 1010 THE ALLIANCE HERALD Favor the Nebraska Spuds -None Better Consumer Should Buy Supply iuk ed Near Home Potato Show at Scottbluff December 4 to 0 A plea against buying potatoes sulside of Nebraska is made by Prof. H. C. Fllley of the University of Ne braska college of agriculture. With an excellent crop In the western part of the state, he believes it the duty of all faithful Nebraskans to buy homi'-grown spuds. "A visit to western Nebraska should convince the most skeptical," said Professor Filley. ' that It is un mecessary to go outside of the state to purchase potatoes. The consum er should certainly buy his winter's supply while -the producer is anxious to sell. The price is very low now in western Nebraska, and we should be able to buy No. 1 inspected pota toes in quantity here for from $1.2.r to $1.50 per bushel. Of course that price is high compared with the price DELCO-LIGHT I The cmnplata Electric Light and I Power Plant An electric Iron saves endless steps and hours of work and worry. .vnts & LYTL.E, Alliance, Nebr. 418 Cheyenne Ave. Phone 950 of ten years ago, but the rite is less than the rise In wages, calico, bacon and shoes. This price doee not In clude sacks, delivery and the expens es incident to direct buying. "The potato crop In the entire United States this year Is not nearly as large as last year, the estimate be ing but 391.000,000 bushels compar ed with 443.000.000 in 1917. In fact, this year's estimate la only about 30,000.000 bushels more than the average production for the past ten years. The certainty of increas ed consumption at present prices will soon dispose of this small surplus. It is always uncertain to forecast future fliarkets and particularly uncertain during war times, but all signs cer tainly indicate a higher rather then a lower spring market. "Price is the big factor in DOl consumption. When the ftvari consumer can buy potatoes at a rea sonable price, they are almost as sta ple as bread. When he must pay 50 cents or more per peck, consumption naturally decreases. The producer is certainly receiving a low price now and if only normal marketing costs and profits are added it means cheap potatoes for everyone. "We should certainly utilize our cellars and buy potatoes now. When spring comes it will be an easy mat ter for each of us to figure up how much money he saved by buying In quantity instead of in driblets and make an investment in war savings stamps. The money that we save thru careful bnying is the money that will whip the kaiser." Ft. F. Howard, secretary of the Ne braska Potato Improvement associa tion, has announced that the second annual convention and potato show, to have been held at Scottsbluff No vember 13 14 -15. has been postponed until December 4-b-t on account of the influenza epidemic.

Council Bluff:', Iowa, well-known o many of our people, has been severe ly afflicted by a four weeks' siege- of Spanish influenza. Nearly two hund red Immates, including three-fourths of the workers were stricken. Only two deaths occurred out of this great number. Unusual and unexpected debt has been placed against the In stitution In consequence of this di saster. This together with the in crease during the year In the price of all supplies, has made a debt of nearly ten thousand dollars, which the management of the Orphanage In striving to raise by a Thanksgiving offering.

I always tnke my hat off to a hog. For centipedes or crocodiles 1 never seemed to care; A rattlesnake would always make rue quail; But since I've read of Wllhelm and his doing over there I always want to shake them by the tail. An elephant I'd welcome to my shanty with his trunk; I'm not so fond of animals, but still I'd make a boon companion of a coyote or a skunk Before I'd make a pal of Kai ser Bill.
