100000 to Fight the Saloon.

The better class of citizens OF
Preston and farmers in the commun-
ity have subscribed 81 100000 to be
used II necessary in preventing the
open saloon from doing business in
the village. The people arc deter
mined to leave no stone unturned in
their efforts to keep the little city
decent and clean However, while
watching the saloon that as yet does
not exist, it would be well for the
good brethren TO get next to the vile
practices of certain conscience
men who are giving drink to minors
and then getting their money away
from them This despicable business
is being done TO intimidate helpless
widows into signing petitions. on the
grounds that the open saloon would
be less harmful than the present
practice.
Here is work for the courty Of
ficers, and possibly for grand jury
investigation. 1t is time that some
one gets busy and puts an end 10
this kind of deyilment.

A Special Offer.

The big daily papers find lit neees
sary and profitable to keep increas-
ing their subscription list, and one of
the fastest growers is the Lincoln
State Journal. This splendid state
daily has just opened up another big
subscription campaign, offering the
paper till January |, 1911 for only 50:
with Sunday $3.50 This special rate
will bring the business. The jour
nal has a way Of it's own--cuttng
out a lot of expensive methods of
getting subscribers and making the
low rate to its readers direct. The
people of the state as never before
are looking to the Journal for the
real doings in The state 1t is build
ing up its business through reliabil-
ity and enterprise, especially in GOV
ering the state news. Another good
thing about the Journal is its policy
of stopping every paper when the
time is up. If you don't pay for it
you don't get it, and when you pay
for it you only pay for your own
paper, not helping to pay for the
one sent some deadbeat. You will
like the cleancut methods of the
journal people

WILL SCHUSTER RESPONSIBLE
FOR GETTING THEM HERE

One morning Will Schuster raised
the question why Greeley could not
get some OF the new postal cards for
use in advertising. Schuster was
praised for his good idea and let
ter was at once written to Ralph
Neeker in New York City requesting
him to get hold OF the new post cards
5 soon as they showed up in New
York City.
Mr.. Meeker was most obliging and
1t once began to trace the progress
3f the new issue. with the result that
the very day the first carload OF the
Mckinley postal cards arrived at the
New York postofYice he got hold OF
a consignment and at once expressed
them to Greeley. and in your early
mail you may be surprised to re-
Give one OF the new blue cards"
IS they are commonly called.
The card haa a much harder and
surface than those of the
old issue and on the back side gives
one the impression of Photographic
paper and would seem to be adapted
to sensitizing and Photographic
printing purposes. but there may be
some reason why that would not be
possible with the new card.
| In the usual upper right hand
corner Is the engraved likeness of
ex-President Mckinley in an oval
frame, bearing the usual wording of
United States Postal Card and
under that the name Mckinley.
The paper of the card itself has IA
light blush tint but more fully har-
monies with the heavier color of
the imprints. There has been some
criticism of the card as not being
satisfactorily artistically but that
does not seem well founded for to
most people the card would appear
more pleasing than its predecessor
