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
