1916 saw two major ballot issues in many states, prohibition and suffrage. This anti-prohibition ad was run by a lobbying group called the Nebraska Prosperity League and sought to tie prohibition with lower land values. That is, land in Kansas was cheaper than in Nebraska...because Kansans couldn't buy booze over the counter.
"Causality" and "Correlation" are a couple of concepts that help explain what's happening, or not happening.
