GREAT THINGS FROM SMALL BEGINNINGS
Great things have Kiiiall beginnings. A spectacle maker, Jan
Lijpersheinr by name, living in Holland, invented a crude magnify
ing glass in 1608. Anion von licuwenhoek, born in Delft, this day
1832, improved thw clutiiHy toy and evolved a compound microscope
which has become the most valuable fcanitary tool yet devised by man.
That first microscope was as far removed from the high-powered in
strument of today an in the modern American from the original cave
man. Yet by this faulty means, Leuwenhock, naturalist, physician
and botanist, discovered certain minute bodies which he called "little
aaimals". He made drawings of these and today we know them for
thotte useful friend and malignant enemies of man bacteria.
We spend our days surrounded by another world, a living world
of eountless billions, invisible to the naked eye, silent, tireless, de
stroying the living, consuming the dead, useful in the sciences and
art, yet often followed by a train of sickness, suffering and death. A
curious paradox this, yet bacteria are at once the greatest friends and
the. fiercest foes of every living tiling. Not animals, as Leuwenhoek
thought, but vegetables, bacteria consist of two classes, those which
prey on living things and those which reduce to their original min
erals, fluids and gases, every dead thing which they attack. They are
of various shapes, round like marbles or straight like little sticks.
They grow in clusters, chains, and in pairs. They are ubiquitous.
The dusty air, the earth and its waters, the interior of animals and
plants all contain them. They cause the fermentation of foods, they
.make cheese, they produce disease and some of them when killed and
injected into an animal protest it against the very disease which they
would have produced if living. Many of them live as harmless crea
tures in the body of an animal for years, only to kill their host when
the opportunity presents. Their study has given birth to a science,
bacteriology, one of the foundation stones of public health.
Their mere presence does not necessarily produce disease. Re
calling the parable of the sower, some bacteria fall by the wayside,
some fall upon stony places, and Rome fall in good ground and bring
forth the fruit of suffering, perhaps of death. A normal, temperate
life, free alike from the gluttony of idleness or overwork, the sound
mind in the sound body, a cheerful, normal environment, these form
the stony places in which bacteria take no root. The depraved ap
petites of mind and body, the dark and sordid atmosphere of penury,
the nerve racking and strength undermining trades, these prepare
The great weapon against bacteria is cleanliness. The mastery
over premature death lieu to a great measure in our ownhands. Clean
persons, clean cities, clean workshops and clean lives are the makers
of public health. The United States Public Health Service and other
sanitary bodies of thw country are gradually bringing these facts
home to the general public. In this way cleanliness is becoming more
general, ana ine span oi me in America is gradually being lengthen
ed. All of which is larirelv due tn t.Iia micmcKnno n. ,!!.;,,

t COMB TO ALLIANCE NEXT WEEK
Next week, from October 25th to 30th, will be the first "Market
Week" for Alliance. The merchants of our little city have donated
over $500 in cash from their pockets to help pay the entertainment ex
penses, in addition to the donation of a fine steer for the barbecue by
that big-hearted ranchman, Charlie Tully, who showed himself to be
a good booster by the biggest donation of all. The committee of busy
business men who have the entertainment in charge have donated of
their time in helping arrange the program. The Alliance Volunteer
Fire Department will place an attraction on the program Monday af
ternoon that will be well worth seeing. On Tuesday the big barbe
cue, one of the star features of the week, will be pulled off under the
direction of Harry Mollring, who is thoroughly capable of superin
tending a job of this kind. Percy Cogswell, manager for Wednesday,
who has driven a Ford car for years, has a program for Wednesday
that will show some new stunts with the little cars that are so popular.
On Friday Ira E. Tash, the "old timer" who knows everyone in the
county, will superintend the horse show, the chicken show and the
agricultural exhibit. On Friday, Lee Moore starts off his program
with a big Battle Hoyal on main street a dozen prize fights in one.
The baby show at the court house will be a star attraction. Saturday
is to be the last day, with Lloyd Thomas and Hen Sallows, who con
trol the destinies of western Nebraska's two leading sheets, in charge
of festivities. The animal parade in the morning will beat any circus
that ever came to town, the boys' and girls' races will keep the kids
busy until 4 o'clock, when the free matinee for children starts at the
Empress theatre. Everything considered, the week will be well worth
spending in Alliance. Alliance merchants are making announce
ments in this issue of The Herald that should be carefully read and
heeded when shopping here. Plan to make a visit to each storejep
resented while in the city.
BIO BOOST IN CIRCULATION
The Alliance Herald takes a bi boost in circulation this week,
caused by the addition to our subscription list of the sub list of the
Journal which has been published heretofore at Ileraingford. The
Journal circulation is mostly in Box Butte county. The subscribers
who have been receiving the four-page Journal will now receive The
Herald weekly with a lltmingford department and a paper that av
erages from ten to twenty-four pages in size. The advertisers who
patronize The, Herald will receive the added benefits of reaching
3,000 subscribers per week instead of 2,500. The Journal was pur
chased by The Herald Publishing Company several months ago, and
this move has been considered for some time.
STRONG TESTIMONIAL FOR ALLIANCE
The successful sale of the forty-two lots comprising Fairview Ad
dition yesterday afternoon by the Box Butte County Fair Association
is a strong testimonial for the continuous growth of Alliance. Many

of those who purchased lots are planning to build thereon. Year by
year Alliance grows. The oitizen who lives here does not notice tha
changes as does the person who returns after an absence of a year or
two. Alliance is steadily going forward. It's a good place to liv
and a good place to invest money. As Win. Athey, who purchased
four lots in the addition and who is a farmer living near Hemingford,
said, "I will only have to go and dig a couple of acres of potatoes to
pay for each lot. The land only cost me fifteen dollars an acre, and
1 raised a crop "worth four timo that on each acre this year. It cer
tainly beats farming back East where I came from two years ago."
