3t8 Don Butte Avenue
ALLIANCE, NEBR., July 6, 1916
My Dear Slr:-
Dld you ever know-
-that the first curved ball was pitched by Arthur
Cummlngs In 1867-
-that in 1876 ten men played on each side--that
overhand pitching was authorized in 1884--that
in the fall of 1897 a batsman was allowed to
call for a high or low ball-
-that the young man who don't look over our showing
of Sport Shirts and Wash Ties in our south window for the rest of
this week, will be losing a good opportunity, and will be as good
as out of the game.
-an exceptionally low price on sport shirts, for the
rest of the week, and the best price that we have ever had on
wash ties,
20 cents each or, 2 for 35 cents
-May we expect you in to see these, as the season
demands the change. Don't wait; it's high time. Come in and let
us take care of your "Hot Weather Wants."
Yours very truly,
ALLIANCE FACES WATER. FAMINE
Owing to the Increasing demand on the Alliance water supply it
Is imperative that the use of hose and all sprinkling be discontinued
between the hours of six o'clock a. m. and eight o'clock p. m. of
each day.
With all available pumps running at capacity during these hours
It is impossible to meet the demands if water is to be used for irri
gating purposes. The danger of fire la imminent during the dry
weather and no pressure can be ma intalned under the present de
mands. There will be an absolute shortage for household use if the
practice of sprinkling Is not reduced.
The city respectfully urges the co-operation of every person In
the city during the dry season and until the present reservoir can be
completed and put in service. Unless such co-operation is extended
the city will be forced to pass an emergency ordinance prohibiting
the use of water between the above hours and providing a heavy
penalty for a violation of the law.

Marketing School Harden Vegetables
A new Idea in the way of market
ing the school gardening vegetables
Is proving very much a success. In
stead of the market center as held
in most of the towns conducting the
school gardening work, Alliance has
wrrked out an original id.a in the
war of disposing of fhe produce from
the various students grown by the
school children. An exchange is con
ducted at the Central schoosl build
ing and any one desiring fresh veg
etables for the table or canning needs
only to call the Central school, phone
number 62, and make their wants
known. The supervisor, in turn, no
tifies members of the gardening
club who have vegetables to sell and
the order is promptly filled. In this
way you will receive only the best
of good, home-grown vegetables, that
have- not been harvested but for a
very short time. Insure yourself of
good, fresh, home-grown vegetables
and phone 62 any time between the
hours of 8 and 12 a. m., or 1 and
2 p. m.

When Are the Fireworks?
e An Alliance volunteer fireman
spent Tuesday, the Fourth, celebrat
ing to beat the bond. Along towards
evening be was all tired out bue he
had determined to see the whole
show through and he decided that he
would not retire until after the dis
play of the fireworks promised by the
commercial club. He bad forgotten,
however, where they were to be
shown so sat himself down at the
corner of Third and Box Butte to
wait until they came in sight. He
was gratified to see a display that
Included four skyrockets and six Ro
man candles, with three pinwheels.
The next morning he remarked to a
friend that the fireworks display was
rather small and was astonished
when his friend replied that it was
certa'iily not. On further investiga
tion he discovered that the tired fire
man had watched some small boys
bold their private celebration while
he missed the big show at the city
rark.
