GRANDPA POTTS
(By George Jackson)
peorge Potts arrived In the chamber
Much excited, so they all say,
JLil because a phone call had said
A grandson had come down his
way.
gLla moustache was curled from ear
to ear,
Ills orders were final, they say,
stenographers, clerks and all stepped
aside with a bow
When George said, "Get out of ray
way."
. Jle stepped on the table and spilt all
the Ink,
All the members he had on the
run;
One of the pages asked, "What do
you think?"
Oeorge said, "Get busy, you son-of-a-gun."
Fal Barrows was here on the ground
at daybreak;
It was out In the hall that he saw
George Potts a'hollering at the top
of his voice,
"GRANDPA, OH. GRANDPA."

The first open meeting for the pur
pose of ascertaining the legislation
necessary to enforce the prohibition
amendment was hold by the Joint
'committee of the house and senate
I Monday evening. The five members
I of the House committee Norton,
Thomas, Walte, Flansburg and Hos
tetler and the Senate committee
Real, Cbappell, 8awyer, Randall,
(Neal, Albert. Morlarty, Howell, Mat
' tes and Kohl were there and llsten
'ed to the arguments presented by
people from over the state. The
state druggists were represented by
a delegation from Omaha, Lincoln,
and other cities. They maintained
that the druggists should not bo al
lowed to sell liquor for beverage
purposes, for their own protection,
and that they should only be allow
ed to use alcohol In preparations
which could bo used for medicinal
purposes but which could not be
used as a beverage. The government
will thus aid In enforcing the law, ns
it requires a federal license when li
quor is sold In such shape that it can
bo used as a beverage. Other speak
ers represented the Nebraska Dry
Federation, the W. C. T. U. Anoth
er meeting Is to be held tonight.
The dry committee will draw up
their own bill but are getting sug
gestions and endeavoring to get the
sentiment of all interested. The bill
drafted (not the bone-dry bill, but
the second one) Is meeting with
much support.

the Alliance Creamery second. The
Newberry Hardware Company does
some business by long-distance tele
phone but most of these calls are
from someone calling Alliance. The
balance of the toll business Is very
small.
Tolls Not Henry
.The fact that Alliance from a tel
ephone toll standpoint is not a good
business point Is reasoned two ways.
In the first place all telephone tolls
must be for a great distance In most
Instances except calls to Heming
ford and possibly other nearby
points. All business is done with
firms east of here. Practically all
the business In Alliance Is local bus
iness. The firms are dependent on
the trade of the people of Alliance,
Ilox Butte county and surrounding
territory. It Is local In Its nature to
a great extent. Except for dealints
with wholesale houses in the larger
cities the average Alliance business
man has no need to use the long
dlr.tance telephone. The second rea
son Is that owing to the fuct that It
Is impossible to communicate with
many of the towns in this section by
long-distance telephone, a patron
ciui not now use the telephone for
"bhort hauls' If he had reason to do
so.
Produce More Hnsine
It Is believed that the toll line
from AlllHiiro to Broken Bow will be
'the means not only of producing a
considerable Increase in the toll bus
iness for the company by reason of
the fact that twenty-four towns are
connected and given the opportuni
ties of the long-distance telephone,
but will result In a noticeable In
crease In the toll business for the Al
liance exchange, affording, as it does,
an opportunity for local people to
communicate with other towns no
far distant.
8tandartl In Every lUwpet-t
The new line will be built com-
pletely of copper and will be stand
ard In every respect. When the
"Bell" system builds toll lines It
builds them for permanency, thus
eliminating a certain overhead ex
pensn that would bo caused by cheap
er lines, while at the same time af
fording a greater service to the pat
ron, j
