Omaha MEET US AT ALLIANCE THIS IS ELKS' WEEK Large Attendance Kadi Evening (Jave Fine Comic Parade n Wednesday "While the Elks fair waa officially opened Monday, It was not In full blast until Wednesday but It start ed In earnest then and has been "'some" goln's since. The comic parade occurred Wed nesday morning at 10:30, and It beat any circus parade that ever ame to Alliance. The members of the order were arrayed In grotesque and fancy costumes, 1 and starting from the new home they marched to the depot square where a concert vas rendered by the "hobo tobo" band, a musical organization that showed remarkable talent and train ing. After finishing the concert they marched to the platform of the depot and gave another concert as the trains pulled In. Afterward they passed through the station and re turned to the home. Hundreds of people witnessed the parade and the laughter did not let up until after it was finished. Special costumes had been Imported for the occasion, and all were perfect "fits". Nearly everybody passing through on the trains got off and watched the antics of the members of the parade "Little Willie" Harper as the old farmer, and Dill Sloop as his wife were a decided "hit" in the parade They rode in a decrepit looking old buggy with one horse attached, and the only place they did not follow the parade was when It marched through the station on the return. All the other members wore appro priate suits, for Instance J. Q. Downs represented Uncle Sam; Harry Du Buque was an Irish beau brummel; V. R. Metz and Ben Sallows wore clown outfits. There was not n idle moment from the time they started, and the spectators were kept busy watching for some new antic. Each evening of this week the merriment proceeds in the Elks' home, and hundreds pay It a visit nightly,. Everything is there even to the country store, and all the con cessions are well patronized. The inclement weather of the first of this week caused a slight depression In business, but It is now In fine condi tion. The dance hall is also well patronized, dances costinR ten cent Some people attend Just to see the "inside" of the new home, and all I Join In pronouncing it a beauty, and better than most of the homes in larger cities. Many out-of-town people are here this week, and it Is probable that many more will arrive Friday and Saturday, to take In the last day of the Elks' fair and to be here at the start of the Stockmen's Convention. The local Elks are to be congratu lated on the success of the fair thus far. No pains have been spared to make this an event to be remember ed in future years. Another Ford Story W. D. Fisher, secretary of the Al liance Commercial Club, who recent ly bought a new Ford automobile, tells the following on this popular car: "An Alliance man was telling some of his friends that he was so familiar with the sound made by the different autos that if blindfolded he could call the names of the cars as they passed by. Believing that he was overestimating his sense of hearing bis friends blindfolded him and gave him a test in which he won When the first auto passed by he said, 'That's a Reo.' When the next passed he said, 'That's an Overland.' Just them some boys up the street caught a dog and tied a can to its tail. As the dog rushed past the blindfolded man Bald, 'That's a Ford with a loose fender." " Stock Show Xext January Now that the cattle contagion in the East seems to be under control, plans are being made for the annual National Western Stock Show in Denver. The dates were fixed the other day at January 17 to 22, 1916, and the secretary was Instructed to proceed Immediately to get out the premium list and classification. Western stockmen hardly realized what an Important factor the annual Stock Show had become In the west ern live stock business until last Jan uary, when the show was abandoned because of the danger from cattle contagion. It is proposed to make the next show larger than ever and because of the- enforced abandon ment of the last Bhow, it is expected that the attendance and Interest In the next show will be larger than ev er before. Plans are being made for increased facilities to take care of the larger exhibits that are confi dently expected. It is believed now that after the experience of last win ter there will be practically no dan ger of foot and mouth contagion. Tbe whole country is organized to fight MEMORIALS 1 J?
