Seven Dollars Kuch Two Syrian peddlers, Joseph Mike and Jot) Mike, brothers, were arrest ed Saturday, charged with peddling goods without a city license. That I hey knew a license was necessary was proven to the police magistrate when they showed a license given them at Scott bluff. The men were each lined sevn dollars In police court Saturday and left the city on the afternoon train for ScottsblufT. When asked why one was named Joseph and the other Joe they explained that there were so many In the family that the sup ply of names ran short before their parents got around. An KxmiikIv Prescription .An Alliance man who recently tool, a trip to New York City had an ex perience that gave his friends some fun and was a joke on himself which he appreciated after It was all over with. While stopping at the Hotel McAlpln his nttentlon was called to several larg brown spots on his hands which looked rather danger ous. He hunted up a city directory and found the address of a skin spec ialist. Bright and early the next morning he hurried In fear and trem bling to the nfllce of the aforesaid specialist. When his turn came for the examination he dreaded the ver dict, looking for nothing less than leprosy and thinking how bard It would be to leave his home and bus iness back at Alliance. "Young man," said the specialist, "you hare sunburned your hands. Here Is a prescription that will cure you." The Alliance man paid the specialist's fee, which was ten dollars, and took the prescription to a drug store. The druggist mixed up a quantity of olive oil and glycerine. This cost fifty cents more. "Peace of mind at any price" Is now the Alliance man s slogan. FORD GARS CHEAPER Itedurtlon of IHglity Dollars Made on August First by Henry Ford on All Cars As will be noted by the announce ment made in The Herald this week by the Keeler-Coursey Company, lo cal agents, the price of the Ford auto was dropped eighty dollars Tuesday, August 1. While It Is guaranteed that there will be no further reduction on this price before August 1, 1917, there Is no guarantee against a raise in price. With the immense increase in the price ' of materials it Is considered phenomenal that the price could be reduced as has been done. A majbr Ity of the companies manufacturing cars have raised Instead of lowering the price. NO MORE WIFE FOR HIM L.
