THKY WILL ROt
AM. (OMK HACK
Happiness reigns In many homes
n western Nebraska and the daih
papers are eagerly watched for the
announcements of the divisions of
American troops which have starte I
home from "over there" and which
will soon be again back In the same
old places among us. Smiles of Joy
adom the faces of those who are
aaked when the one who left will re
turn and the Joy of greettnK loved
ones will much dlffeerent from the
pang which were felt when they left,
peril Hps never to return.
A ratechman-farmer living near Al
liance stopped his fourhorse team the
other morning on a business street
and called to a local business man,
"When will your brother be home?"
The answer, given with a smiling
face was that the business man didn't
know Just when but he expected and
, hoped it would be very soon. "Well,
I've got four brothers "over there'
"replied the ranrhwan, "we hope in
eee them soon."
But in the Joy of greeting lovei
ones who were spared the bullet and
hlnde of the Hun, let us not forget
that there are many who will nor r
again greet the one who went away to
offer his life to his country and t
make the supreme sacrifice. Aall they
.have Is the golden star on the servlco
Hag, a token which will be honord
during the years to come. France has
aufferetl probably more than any
other nation In the great war and
Premier (lcmenceau stirred the heart
of his country to Kh depths when ho
udded the words to his comituinicti
tlou of the armistice terms in the
French Chamber Ol Deputies, "Let
us honor the great army that died.

THW "FLU"
Medical authorities advise us that
we may expect further epidemics or
the Spanish influenza, the plague
which has taken more lives during
recent months n this country than
were lost among our solder boys in
France from the bullets of the Hun.
The epidemic has not entirely sub
sided In Alliance and vicinity, al
though it has decreased greatly. If
wo are to prevent further spread we
sbould uso Judgement and care.
John Stevens, Grand Master Work
man of the Ancient Order of United
Workmen, wrote the following timely
article In the November issue of the
Nebraska Workman. Mr. Stevens has
"had his" und his article will be read
with Interest and Bhould be given
heed. It reads as follows:
"One of the great duties confront
ing the American people at the
present time Is the protection ofpub
Ufl and individual health against the
ravages of the so-called Spanish In
fluenza which is now sweeping the
country with disastrous results, li la
believed that if the common peoph
had been thoroughly awake to th
seriousness of the disease when ,
made its first appearance in thli
country its progress could have been
becked and many lives saved. To
sad effects felt in every COmmUnlt;
visited by this unwelcome Invader
ought to be sufficient to rouse every
person to a hearty cooperation with
the beaHb authorities in every effort
to eombatit. In many places the mor
tality from this disease has run bo

exposure The fresh air should h; ad

When recovery seems assured the,
patient should still avoid cold or sud
den changes of temperature. It is
probably superfluous to warn atainst
over-exertion, as the ccnvale;cen:
will be so weak -that he will not care
to exert himself.
Every citizen should take all the
precautions recommended by the
health officers, and should cheerfully
abide by and obey every quarantine
regulation. While these regulations
have not been entirely successful in
preventing the appearance of the dis
ease In any particular community, or
In stamping it out as yet, still they
are helpful, and if observed will save
much suffering and many lives. Wise
co-operation by the citizens with the
health officers will help to keep our
family circles intact,' to preserve the
health of the boys now going out
from our homes to take up the great
est duty that goes with citizenship,
and Incidentally to keep down the
beneficiary expenses of our Order.

Great bodies of fine grass-covered agricultural and grazing lands in

terms, by honorably discharged soldiers and sailors. Government irri

Thousands of our young men who have been drawn by war into
j an out-door life will never go back to indoor salaried jobs.
1J,UUU acres ot the finest Government-irrigated lands at Deaver,
