The Herald's Washington com pondont strikingly emphasizes this ptrint In h comparison of the condi tions of certain pennons fcn the east era pant or uie united states, to which attention has recently been directed by newspaper publicity While 30,000 men, women and children, mill workers at Lawrence M iss . were out of work because of a strike to prevent a out m their wages of $6. $7 and $8 a week, Mns.

B. DENTON ANNOUNCES THE OPENING OF HIS NEW VARIETY STORE That the hard times of which we hear more or less are caused by a feeling of distrust on the pnrt of bus lam nun there can be no doubt. We do not BtM merely distrust on the part of large manufacturing and wholesale establishments, but the tef to launch out In a business way which affects retail dealers and those in other lines of business in the smaller cities and town at times when there is general talk a bout buainess depression and hard t lines. When business men launch out and prepare for the transaction of a linger amount of business you may safely expect that there will be an improvement In business conditions. The Nebraska Lnnd Company, of which f, C. McCorkle is manager, sets a pace that we think others will do well to follow.

The strike of the men, women and children tit Lawrence, and the $700 a plate dinner in Washington, Is a striking example of conditions exist ing under a system of excessive protection in the year of our Lord 1912. Neither the Lawrence strike nor the $35,000 McLean dinner MM exceptions. They are but dimples of many similar Illustrations which could be cited if space permitted Only recently, Wtn. M. Wood, the head of the woolen trust, whose em ployes are now on strike at Law rence, was arrested for kncking down and running over a pedestrian with his automobile. W In n ar raigned in court he was asked how many automobiles he owned, and replied he didn't know. Imagine man so rich he doesn't knew how many autos he has on hand! Fortunes which make it possible for one woman to wear a half ml lion dollars' worth of diamonds at one time, and which enable a man to posses so many automobiles he cannot keep track of them necessar y come through the power to place a price on the things which the common people must have in cu'de to live. k Is significant, in this ptHMHM 4ion, that the tariff, the coat of Hv lag. $700 -i plate dinners every thing but :he workingman's wages have increased hand in hand, re vealing the Intimate relationship o one to the other. business interests here by so doing.

The vivid iiuagina lion of some of the people tbt re who are constantly on the lockout for an opportunity to show their hospitality leaxl them to suppose. the train was reported due at a time different from that of the regular passenger tralns, that it was a special train loaded with members of the Order of Klks. They skirmished around in an effort to get the braae band to geher. which unfortunately they did not have time to do, but a delega tion made their way to the elation to give as cordial a greeting as pos sible under the circumstance Just Mrs. U Z. Holloway has accepted a position as sallady at Geo. A. Mollriug's store. She commenced work there on Monda morning. Mrs. Holloway U an experienced salesla dy an.l well acquainted with people of Alliance and surrounding country and will prove a valuable addttian to Mr Mollriug's already strong sales force In this establishment.

Mr. and Mrs. Denton own the building in which the store is located ami re side upstairs, which will make it if properly taken care of, is more attractive than a mansion standing om bare ground without the attrac tion afforded by a beautiful lawn and trees and shrubbery. We might make some suggestions in regard to improvtug appearances of the city otherwise, by cleaning the streets, alleys, yards and vacant GET READY TO PLANT TREES lots, but we presume the city offi cials will attend to that when spring arrives. In order to secure the planting of trees In numbers such as should be an interest must be created among the people. Our object In publishing this article Is to try to set on foot a movement looking to the planting of more trees the coming spring than have ever been planted here before and taking care of them In a way that will insure their growth. What Is worth doing at all is worth doing well. We hope ev ery property owner in Alliance will resolve to do something along this line the coming spring.

This city is already the metropolis and commercial center of this part of Nebraska and may be made one of the most heautiful cities, not only of this section, but of the entire state. , There is one way In particular in which the city may be made beauti ful by a concerted effort on the part of the citizens, and that is by the planting and proper care taking of trets in the yards and on the streets. It is not possible for ev ery owner of a lot to erect a man sion, or even to put the Improve ments on the buildhigs already e rected that will give them the ap pearance that might be desired, but by a proper effort every property ovMiei tan plant trees to some ex tent and take care of them so that within a few years they will do more to give the city an attractive appearance than many times their cost would if spent merely in build ings In our opinion, and we think in the opinion of people generally, a cottage witli a well kept lawn, nest ling among trees and shrubbery, lux- i uriant with foliage as they will be RUNNING WATER IRRIGATION DEDICATION AT RENO The new Congregational church at Reno will be dedicated Saturday and Sunday, February -4 and 25.
