Another Coast
Train Added

Sioux City's dream of trans.
continental railroad service is
soon to be realized. The Mllwau-
kee railroad is soon to put on a
through train from Chicago to
Seattle via Sioux City. While
local Milwaukee officials admit
that such is the plan of the rail.
way heads. they declare that no
definite date has been set for
the inauguration of the service.
Reports from Chicago declare
that the service will begin this
month.
The inauguration of the n W
through service via Sioux City
has been under consideration for
number of months. 1t will be
the second transcontinental route
to the coast on the Milwaukee
road. One train daily each way
is to be run over the new line.
The route covered by the new
train will open up a new territory
from which to draw transcon-
tinental tourists. The train will
travel over the Sioux City divi
sion from Chicago, connecting
with the main coast line at Aber-
deem. Stops will be made only
at important points. Only two
stops will be made between Sioux
City and Aberdeen.
Railroad men predicted this
service when the Milwaukee COM
pany spent thousands of dollars
repairing it's roadbed on the
Iowa main line. The right of
way W a 8 double tracked from
Chicago as far as Manila, Iowa.
and it is expected that within a
very short time the double track
ing will be extended to Aber-
deem via Sioux City. - Sioux City

Merchants Busily

One merchant reports that on
Saturday he handed out coupons
with $500, oo worth of purchases
and every one of them went To
a farmer. Another of our ad-
lvertisers has used over $1,000. 90
worth Of coupons during the past
week.
Are you getting your share of
these coupons? Someone will
be the owner of tn 2 Columbia
Grafanola at Christmas time and
you may be sorry that you did
not take advantage Of this op-
portunity to secure this beauti-

The merchants who advertise
have the coupons and they are
yours for the asking when you
make your purchases. Ask for
them the next time that you buy
anything at t h e local stores.
With the exception Of two or
three business men every ono in
Lennon is an advertiser in this
paper and no matter what you
buy you should be able to get
coupons.
I he Herald management has
been asked several times how

the truth we are not absolutely
certain that we ever said we

of making money, but since the
question has been raised we will
endeavor to explain.

knew that as aoon as the mer-

to solve the problem of how to
get the people to read the ads

know that they are doing so.
We had never been confronted
with a problem Of this kind be

To simmer the proposition down

Nothing one does, if he does it well,
