VOULD TEACH THE
CHILDREN TO WORK
Nation Says They Have lnn
Taught to Play Hay Their
Services Are Needed
George W. Nation, who lives
.utheast of Alliance, believes that
Jo view of the necessity to use all
iUm resources of the county at hand
lht the high coat of l'vlng that
.Ihere should be some provision made
-Thereby a man could employ child-
tn of school age where employment
i'.ss Advisable or Decennary. While he
-ealisca that no furthor bills ran be
a)troduced in the Nebraska legisla
ture at this session unless by rec
ommendation of the governor in a
,pclal message, yet he believes that
ta matter should bo brought to the
attention of the members of the leg
.Jaiature, with a view of providing a
saedy to the law, so that if school
'. -rUlldren should be employed that
ibe one employing them will not be
stable to fine or Imprisonment. With
UUm In mind, he has written and sent
too communication printed below to
Aioyd C. Thomas, representative
from the 73rd district to tho Nobras
, at legislature. The communication
4 as sent this noon. It is as fol
ios: The Communication
Alliance, Nebr., Feb. 16. 1917.
Lloyd C. Thomas, representative,
--JJrd District. Nebraska.
j.Pear Blx: In view of the "crisis"
Jhii '.k Upon out1 country In the mat
frt of the "high cost of living" and
j Jj)j Juuuediattt wccsKity of moblllz
iing each and every resource of the
4ation to sustain and boar the bur
. 4enn that must soon he forced upon
j ft. it appears that it would bo wise
(for the full time that the necessity
, twists) to put the clamps of "lnocco
tJue disquietude" upon the law that
. tjmakes subject to arrest and lino of
.,o Individual who employs or makes
is of the hrlp of any child of school
.e during the school period.
It is of vital importunco that the
Agriculture, resources of our country
e utilized to its utmost limit, there
Xore It would seem to be wisdom to
,-juobillze every possible individual in
putting in, curing for and harvesting
cae crop for the coming sou Hon or
t tor as long aj the necessity exists for
,ucb extra effort.
II it is necessary, for tho trend of
.vent seems to indicate that it is
. twolutely necessary for the future
-aisience oi our country, that our
-citizens be given universal military
-Instruction is it not then much more
Mentlal and necessary that the
.youth of our country and cities as
-well be given practical as well as
theoretical instruction In the plant
.log. curing for and garnering in of
f 41 products suitable for each local-
it.
The city of Alliance IhsI summer
paid to one of its city school touchers
-.4 ib per month to teach the youths oi
the city how to play, yet I observed
-that ninety per cent of the youths
,-were roaming t ho town and country
. and learning to be a nuisanco and a
5 freed seouiee to the inhabitants
. thereof.
It would appear good business as
l well as one i f th- very best methods
i4n the line i agriculture Instruction
. were the tciiool room abandoned by
I pupils twelve years old and over for
j t ho garden Hold and from the 1st of
1 .31 ay to the 1st of November, this
-question should be considered from
the viewpoint.

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 is 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 CLEAR
PROFIT OF $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 pant and also of the cost of
feed. The results ore 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 p. total of $9.30 for tho month.
This left Mr. Dickey a profit of $23.31
from this one cow for this one month.

CITY COUNCIL HAS
A BUSY SESSION
Many Mutter oi More than I'utslng
Interest liiki'ii up ui ivvj;
uiar Meeting
The regular monthly meeting oi
tuu city council neid luestiuy nigm
wus a busy one. Ai. L. i'oieei,
wuosu car a scutes lie is the "Educa
tional Keprebeuiuiive" oi me Ordin
ance Uevioioii commission of Liu
coin, appeared betote tne council
.ma placed be l ore tliui body u propo
sition ironi nis company in teviue tne
ui) ordinances and print liny copies
oi u boon containing (tie ordinances
lor $i.i0 a puo. the council vot
ed to consider itie matter. Mr. l'o
U'et staied that by culling oui the
old and dead ordinances und print
ing only the live ones now appearing
in the old book tnat it would take
about 150 puges but that if the new
ordinances enacted were printed in
the 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 0R-rate Own Plant
The council passed a resolution to
be forwarded to Representative
Thomas and Senator Adams asking
them to use their Influence to defeat
U. R. No. 279. known as 'he Ileal
Public Utility Bill. This bill was
condemned by the Leugue 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 and
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 cooiuiibHion send a
man to the town who would investi
gate the plant and the expenses
would be paid by the city. The may
or und members of the council feel
that the people of Alliance should
run tlieir own plant, and other cities
feel the same way about theirs. The
bill was Introduced to provide a rem
edy for one town where the munici
pal plant was a political factor and
was about bankrupt, but to do it the
bill had to cover all municipal-owned
plants.
Tax levy Is Iiw
The mayor stated that at the
meeting at Hastings It was brought
out that the tax levy at Aurora was
76 mills; at York. 62 mills, and at
Hastings, 69 mills. In Alliance the
levy la but 33 tnilin. The limit that
can be assessed is 76 mills.
Accept Reservoir
City Engineer Grant recommend-
i 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
I the bonds given as security against
i 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
orlve their delivery cars without re
gard for the lives of any who chance
I iu uo iu i lie 1111111;, or lueil unit
! lives. It was brought out that the
i 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 chief
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
4t 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 Uushnell 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
