COULD TEACH THE
CHILDREN TO WORK
Nation Ha in They Have llwn
Taught to Play Hay Their
Service Arc Nfwlwl
George W. Nation, who lives
. utbenst of Alliance, believes that
Jo view of the necessity to use all
ttbe resources of the county at hanl
! fight the high cost of Pving thai
,-ifeere should be some provision made
Thereby a man could employ child-1
, fn of school age where employment
icealtses that no further bills ran be
- .introduced In the Nebraska leglsla
ire at this session unless by rec
ommendation of the governor In a
tial message, yet he believes that
tae matter should bo brought to the
.Stttention of the members of the leg-
.asUture, with a view of providing a
.-fwaoedy to the law, so that if school
'. children should be employed that
JAe one employing them will not be
4Jable to One or Imprisonment. With
this in mind, he has written and sent
4b communication printed below to
Uoyd C. Thomas, representative
from the 73rd district to tho Nebras
ka legislature. The communication
avM sent this noon. It la as fol
4ow: The Communication
Alliance, Nebr., Feb. 16. 1917.
Uoyd C. Thomas, representative,
-JSrd District, Nebraska.
J5ear sir: In view of tho "crisis"
.ihVi ls upon oar country in the mat
, ir of the "high cost of living" and
. lhf JUuuieilialo uct'ttNlt)r of moblllz
"ging each and every resource of the
4 station to sustain and boar the bur
. 4ens that must soon be forced upon
: At, It appears that it would bo wise
(4 for the full time that the necessity
insists) to put the clamps of "lnocco
t Jus dissuli'tude" upon the law that
. (.cukes subject to arrest and fine of
,an Individual who employs or makes
4iso of the help of any child of school
ge during the school period.
It is of vital importunco that the
agriculture resources of our country
e utilized to its utmost limit, there
.tore it would seem to be wisdom to
,-iuoblllzo every possible individual in
putting in, curing for and harvesting
the crop for the coming season or
t tor as long ns the necessity cxUts for
- ucb extra effort.
If It Is necessary, for tho trend of
.-vent seems to indicate that It is
. tNMluU'l necessary for the future
-slstence of our country, that our
-citizens be given universal military
Instruction Is It not then much more
essential and necessary that the
youth of our country and cities as
-well be given practical as well as
theoretical instruction In the plant
.lag. caring for and garnering In of
t mil products suitable for each local
The city of Alliance last summer
paid to one of its city school teachers
47 5 per month to teuch tho youths ov
the city how to play, yet I observed
that ninety per cent of the youths
,-were roaming tho town and country
. And learning to bo a nuisance and a
freed scouvee to the inhabitants
, thereof.
It Would appear good business as
k well as one i t th. very best methods
tin the line i agriculture Instruction
. were the hcliool room abandoned by
, pupils twelve years old and over for
1 ho garden Held and from the 1st of
t.3aay to the 1st of November, this
-question should bo considered from

ALLIANCE TO PAVE STREETS
(Continued from page 1)
paving they probably will have no
trouble in securing It. All pavement
except street Intersections and that
in front of the city hall (in case
Third street la paved) will be paid
for by the property owners. The
law allows a term of seven years in
which to pay for pavement if the
owners desire to pay that way.
As It looks now, Alliance will have
some paved streets before next win
ter rolls around. However, only the
first preliminary step has so far
been taken.
ONE COW MADK CLHAIt
PROFIT OK $2.1.61
James Dickey, living a mile south
of Alliance, kept a record of the milk
produced during the month of Janu
ary Just past and also of the cost of
feed. The results are worth the con
sideration of all. This cow produced
i630 pounds of milk, all of which
was sold to tho Alliance Creamery at
$2.00 per hundred pounds, netting
Mr. Dickey a total of $32.61. It
cost 30 cents a day to feed Mrs. Cow
or i'. total of $9.30 for the month.
This left Mr. Dickey a profit of $23.31
from this one row for this one month.

CITY COUNCIL HAS
A BUSY SESSION
.Many Matters oi More Hum Passing
Intel cm iaKcu up ai ling
ular Meeting
The regular monthly meeting ot
the city council neid Tuesuuy nignt
wus a busy one. Ai. L. i'oieei,
uuoho cam slates lie is tho "Euuea
uoiiai Kepi'eaemuiivu" ot Hie urdin
mice Revision Commission of Lin
coln, appeared before tue council
anil placid before that bo.iy u propo
sition iroin ms company to tevibe tue
ill) oi din au es and print liny copies
oi u bootf containing ttie ordinances
tor 4i!.iU a puge. the council vol
ed to consider tue matter. Air. I'o
teei staied that by culling oui the
old uud dead ordinances and print
ing only tho live ones now appearing
in tho old book that it would take
about 150 pages but that if the new
ordinances enacted were printed in
Ihe book he did not know how many
puges it would take, but hia company
would charge only $2 a page for all
over 200 pages. The opinion seems
to be that no further action will be
taken In the matter just at this
time.
Should Operate Own Plant
The council passed a resolution to
be forwarded to Representative
Thomas and Senator Adams asking
them to use their influence to defeat
R. R. No. 279. known as 'he Real
Public Utility Dill. This bill was
condemned by the League of Nebras
ka Municipalities In session at Hast
Ings two weeks ago. It provides
that all electric light and water
plants, where owned by the city or
by a private corporation, be under
the control of three men known as
the State Railway Commission
These men would have the power to
tell the city how to run its light nn
water plant, what it could or could
not do in the way of making exten
sions or improvements, would regu
late the pay of employees, and do a
lot of other things. The bill also
provides that the coaimlssiou send a
man to the town who would Invest!
gate the plant and the expenses
would be paid by the city. The may
or and members of the council fee
that the people of Alliance shoul
run their own plant, and other cities
feel the same way about theirs. The
bill was Introduced to provide a rem
edy for cue town where the munici
pal plant wus a political factor and
was ubout bankrupt, but to do it the
bill had to cover all municipal-owned
plants.
Tax Levy Is Iajw
The mayor stated that at the
meeting at Hustings it was brought
out that the tax levy at Aurora was
76 mills: at York. 62 mills, and a
Hastings, 69 mills. In Alliance the
levy is but 33 n.ilit. The limit that
ran be assessed is 76 mills.
Accept Reservoir
City Engineer Grant recommend
ed that the city accept the new res
ervoir. This was done, thus releas
Ing the bonds given by the contract
ors. This, however, does not release
the bonds given as security against
leakage. They hold for one year.
Matter of Reckless Driving
Councilman Fleming brought up
the matter of reckless driving, par
ticularly as it applied to delivery
boys. It seems that delivery boys
urlve their delivery cars without re
gard for the lives of any who chance
to be in the vicinity, or their own
lives. It was brought out that the
boys are not all to blame, as certain
merchants had let some drivers go
because they did not get around fast
enough. Some owners are said to
be worse than the boys. The thief
of police was ordered to give all
owners a last warning and. if they
do not then see that their cars are
driven as they should be to start
making arrests and keep it up. Reck
less driving past the school buildings
also seems to be the order of the
day, and this will be stopped, also, if
ft is within the power of the police
department.
Presented Claim
Mr. Lowry presented a claim for
$25 for damage to a tire when he
drove over a piece of railroad iron in
an alley some time ago. No action
was taken on the matter at this
meeting.
Club .May Use Streets
Secretary Iiushnell of the Com
mercial Club appeared before the
council and asked that the commer
cial club be given the use of the
streets free of charge during the
time the Stockmen's Reunion Is held
here, in June. The club has con
tracted with a carnival for that week
and desired the free use of the
streets. The club agrees to clean
up the streets afterward or see they
are cleaned up and to place no shows
without the consent of the adjacent
property owners. Permission was
