Alliance business and professional

ege of hearing tho receiving live
wire pointer from America's fore
most business producer, FranK Stock-
dale. Mr. Stockdale will engender
Ideas of Merchandising., Window
Trimming, Salesmanship, tho beBt
methods to be used In s;ock arrange
ment, how to mako your goods appsnl
to the customer, and In fact every
thing of modern advance in business
methods valuable to the storekeeper.
Mr. Stockdale has talked In prac.i
cally every city of tho Union, his in
struction has been recetvefl wltn the
greatest enthusiasm everywhere.
Here is what a few think of the value
of Stockdale to the commercial world.
From Richmond, Va; M. J. Cohen,
of the Cohen Co. says "I haro learned
from Mr. Stockdale many "business
points" which I am sure will be bene
ficial to the firm I represent. Those
who miss the lectures that are to
come will looe an opportunity to "bet
ter their business results."
Atlanta, (Jr. : Annual report. Pres.
of the Ad club. "The enthusiasm
shown demonlstralec the wisdom of
those who were responsible for its
Inauguration, and the desire of Atlan
ta business men to secure larger re
wards by better r.nd more efficient
service."
Guthrie, Okla; Nov. 27th 1917. It
is no misnomer to oay that Siockdale
is an expert. Ho han analyzed con
ditions and knows what he talks. He
is the last word in wholecatc advice
to wholesale and retail merchants.
He reaches the prectlcal nub in a Jef
fy. His talk last night wns along the
line of methods, buying, manage
ment, cooperation, etc. Hh lecture
was illuminated with chalk demon
strations, and In brief, ne outlined
the method to be used in today's com
petition." Stockdale has spoken return en
gagements with the National Cash
Register Co. at their convert ions. He
also has, addressed the "Coco Cola"
convention. In Nebraska he has
talked in Superior, Aurora, Lincoln,
Omaha, and Beatrice. All merch
ants that have heard him pronounce
obtaining his services the Best "com
munity lnvestmen's".
The Merchants Federation of Al
liance is handling the course here.
Mr. Stockdale has been obtained for
three days and five talks, on March
11th, 12th and 13th. Two noonday
talks will be given at Luncheons at
the Alliance Hotel. Three evening
talks will be given at the Court House
All merchants interested In the pro
gress of the city are donating toward
the expense In procuring M. Stockdale
Each Merchant contributing $10.00
will be given a personal Interview by
Mr. Stockdale, this talk r.ione is In
valuable to the merchant outside of
the mass gathering: Wednesday eve
ning Secretary Fisher needed tout two
more men to fill out his list. If their
is any merchant who wants to take
advantage of his opportunity he had
best see Floher at once. One merch
ant In town gave Fisher a cheque for
fifty dollars with the Instructions to
come back If he couldn't raise the
$200 The firm donating the $60 Is
up-to-date, progressive rnd always
ready to learn something better, to
this they owe their success. The meet
ings under Stockdale will with out
any question be of lasting benefit to
every man attending
Mr. Stockdale had open dr.tes for
three days in February but before
Secretary Fisher could get word to
him of the acceptance of those dates
a wire came Wednesday nlgnt stating
that Hutchinson, Kansas, hsd beat

STATE TOJELEBRATE
Our State to Complete the
Celebration of Its Golden
Anniversary.
The Capital City will be hosts to
the State and the Nation on June 12.
13 and 14. the occasion being the
fiftieth anniversary of the entrance of
Nebraska into the Union.
No celebration in our history will
be as memorable as this ur Oolden
Anniversary.
PPM lag as it does who. the entire
world is engaged in a gigantic strug
gle to ascertain whether ihe spirit of
democracy or the spirit of nbsciutini
shall be supreme, when our own com
monwealth will be called upon to fio
more than any like area in the wot Id
to feed the people of the natioi s, It
Is especially fitting that we should
emphasize our national responsibility
and awaken a pride in our resource
ful stats. '
This is perhaps the last great an
niversary when we can pay tribute to
the makers of the State. Before an
other decade the territorial pioneers
will have gone. It will probably be
the last great parade of the veterans
of the civil war who have had so
great a part in the upbuilding of our
commonwealth. It will be the last
time when the State will have the
opportunity to pay homage to those
heroic pioneer mothers who braved
the vicissitudes of the border life and
brought forth the flower of the world's
manhood and womanhood.

uying lumber at this time is tho best investment you
ever made. There are several very good reasons.
nusual conditions make it possible to get twice as
much lumber as you did in 1914 for the same amount
of farm produce.
nvestmeut in lumber and the placing of new build
ings on your property will increase its value out of
all proportion to the lumber's cost.
umber the world's greatest building material
' has advanced much less than any other material used
for building.
ouble value can be had without sacrificing quality
and the lumber of today is better than ever before.
othing is more important than conservation at this
time, and all grain, stock and implements must be
properly sheltered.
pportunity such as you have NOW may never
come again. After the war, lumber prices may be
higher.
e are giving you this information in the right spirit
with a desire to see you buy when you can get
more for your farm produce.

ALLIANCE,
NEBRASKA
Made possible through the holding
of big races in the large cities of
the midwest, Lincoln is to be host to
some of the toremost automobile
racers in the game, Tuesday, June 12.
the opening day of the Semi-Cen-tennial
Celebration. A big purse will
be offered and the races will be held
on the track at the Nebraska State
fair grounds.
The automobile races are sure to
attract additional thousands of peo
ple to Lincoln and will materially aid
In making the Seml-Centennial a big
success. Nebraskans are strong fur
gas grinds and this state and Lincoln,
especially, has always been heavily
represented at the speedway races.
As the date selected for the Semi
Centennial race is between the cham
pionship events at Detroit, St. Louis
and St. Paul, It will be possible to
secure an entry list containing the
names of the prominent drivers of the
day. Detroit will put over a 115,0 0
race Decoration Day, while St. Louis
has a $10,000 prize as a lure to the
speed merchants, June 15. The
"kings" will be able to ship their cars
from Detroit to Lincoln, compete here
for the prize money and then hasten
In the direction of the Mound (?lty,
without losing out on the heavy cash.
The keen appetites of the speed
"bugs" of this territory wUl be sat
lsfted when they glance over the en
try list, which closes June 1. Entry
blanks have already been mailed out,
but the majority will be signed at
Detroit, as Lincoln will have a repre
sentative at the Decoration Day races.
Some of the drivers coming to Lin
coin bare seldom competed on dust
and dirt ovals, and two or perhaps
more foreign racers, who start their
initial campaign of this country la
the east this mouth are among those
In correspondence with tho local pro-scoters.
CARD OF THANKS
To our many friends of. Alliance
and vicinity we wish to extend our
sincere thanks for their kindnesB in
the hour of our bereavement In the
death of our son, Georgo
Arthur Feagins and Family.
Don't Lose Your Temper.
He who loses his temper, loses much
besides. He loses his self-respect ; he
loses the respect of others ;' he loses an
element out of his chnrncter nnd repu
tation which he eannor regain; In
loses vital force, nnd stamps an im
pression on his wtiolo being which time
cannot efface.
About Constipation
Certain articles of diet tend to
check movements i f the bowels. The
most common of these are cheese,
tea and boiled milk. On tho other
hand raw fruits, especially apples and
bananas, also graham bread and
whole wheat bread promote a-move-ment
of the bowels. When the bow
els are badly constipated, however,
the sure way is to take on or two of
Chambertaln's Tablets Immediately
after supper.
Most Dangerous Poisons.
The most dangerous of all poison
ore the toxins of Infectious disease;
the next most dangerous are the toxins
of fatigue. Work, whether of mux
cles or nerves, produces waste prod
ucts, "nshes" which are poisonous, the
so-called fntlgue toxins. When these
toxins have piled up In our blood to a
certain pitch we feel tired, so that
fatigue is a form of self-polsonlng.
When we quit work or sleep or take
food these poisons are neutralized or
burnt up In the system or washed and
breathed out of it.
