A very interesting program has
been prepared for the meeting of the
Woman's club on Friday afternoon
at the pleasant home of Mrs. W. R.
Pate." Several vocal numbers by
members of the club and a reading
or two will comprise the entertaln-
.tnent of the afternoon.
Mrs. O. E. Williams. 723 Toluca,
"was the victim of a very successful
surprise perpetrated by friends on
Monday evening when the home was
beselged by the party of about forty,
which gathered to make memorable
the anniversary of her birth. Music,
games and a splendid lunch, pre
pared by the guests, furnished ample
means for the spending of a very
.pleasant evening.
The home of Mrs. Otto Zamzow
will be the scene of much pleasantry
'Thursday evening, when Mrs. Zam
sow and Mrs. Van Em an will enter
tain for the Ladies Auxiliary or the
Presbyterian church. Mrs. J. S.
Rheln will have charge of the pro
?ram, which promises the unusual.
A luncheon, for which twenty-five
cents will be charged, will be served,
the proceeds to go to the treasury of
the Auxiliary. All are cordially in
cited. ,
' The Valentine social at the Bap
tist church, Friday evening, was one
"Of the most successful of similar
events, of the season. The Valen
tine idea was carried throughout the
decorations and in the way of enter-
tainment. A large number of the
members of the young people's so
cietles of the various churches at
tended and all enjoyed the evening
greatly. A luncheon was served.
Tost M, T. P. A., again upheld its
nviable reputation as an entertain
er, Saturday evening, when a goodly
number of the members and their
ladies assembled at the Reddish hall
and enjoyed a few hours spent at
cards and dancing. Capt. Roy
Strong, secretary of Post M, presid
ed over the splendid lunch served at
the termination of the other pas
times of the evening and as usual
acquitted himself with glory. The
party broke up at a late hour, with
those present anticipating a like
event to be held at a date not far
distant.
Another b'g ball is planned. The
date is February 28, with the mem
bers of At Last lodge. No. 814, B. of
R. C, as hosts. The dance will be
given at the Armory with the popu
lar fire department orchestra officiat
ing. The G. I. A. Ladies, the auxiliary
to the B. of L. E., royally entertain
ed their husbands at the Odd Fellow
hall last Thursday evening when a
sumptuous supper was served at
:30. Covers were laid for about
ninety. The hall was profusely dec
orated in colors suggestive of Valen
tine's Day, and the place cards were
dainty heart-Bhaped affairs.
Dean and Mrs. William Carson
Shaw and Mr. and Mrs. Fred E. Hol
sten were honor guests at a six
o'clock dinner given by Misses Can
's, son and Johnson at the A. O. Smart
, home Saturday evening. After par
taking of the bounteous spread, the
guests, seven in all, spent a most en
joyable social evening.
THAT HOME TOWN .SPUUT
Some folks play a lone hand.
They do not and care not to
form much attachment to their
place of abode and have no par
ticular regret in leaving when
the need arises and no one else
cares or weeps any tears when
they move. They have re
sponded to no calls for co-operation
and no one feels any
particular desire in helping
them along; the community
gains but little from their pres
ence and a city made up of such
people would surely be a dead
one.
Then there are those who feel
and act an intense loyalty in
their home town and the people
living in it; in all the undertak
ings and enterprises they can be
counted upon. It is, no doubt,
partly sentimental affection and
partly a keen sense of the prac
tical business value of co-operation
and team work. Alli
ance has a lot of these folks.
Its progress is due to them.
They feel a cordial interest in
their fellow citizens. You can
always depend on them for
hearty support of any commun
ity project and every local en
terprise has their backing. Just
so far as that idea prevails will
the city realize its possibilities.
When this spirit exists it is a
real pleasure to give preference
and in all dealings that come
from the home town. If a suit
of clothes sold here Is just as
good for the money you pay why
not buy it in Alliance? It would
indeed be a good investment
were it not quite so good as the
other fellow offered, but thanks
to the merchants of this town
Buch a sacrifice is rarely, if ever,
necessary. It is poor commun
ity spirit and deficient team
work to buy stuff out of town
unless after a thorough investi
gation we find it is not carried,
or can not be ordered for us,
by the local dealer.
When a town has this unified,
co-operative, reciprocity Bpirit
of team work you cannot stop
its forward march. The com-
pact mass of people working for
common ends, will beat a great-
er population whose energies
axe divided.

MISS ROKAIIR HELD
, COUNTY MEETINGS
Expert from Culvers!!)' Extension
Sen Ire (Vwtpcrateii with IWx
Butte County Association
During the past ten days meetings
on "Home Nursing" have been con
ducted over the county by Miss Ro
kahr of the University Extension
Service In co-operation with the Box
Butte County Home Maker Associa
tion. During the recent influenza epi
demic one realized how necessary
was the caretful home nursing to
bring the patient to a sure recovery.
In the broadest sense of the word,
nursing means the conservation and
protection of life, the nourishing
and fostering of strength and vital
ity, whether in the sick or well. We
are living In an age where emphasis
Is placed on prevention rather than
cure. The essentials of the sick
room, how to make a patient com
fortable in bed and other home nurs
ing suggestions were taken up In
the discussion. .
The women at the meetings gave
their experiences In home nursing
and first aid to the Injured. A great
many good suggestions were given
as to what to do in case of a child
taking poison, lye, and In cuts and
broken bones until a doctor ran b
called. Good food will assist in th
recovery of a patient and wrong
foods may often prolong an I lines.
Liquid, soft and convalescent diet
were suggested and the following'
foods were put on the list as being
foods to avoid for invalids and chil
dren: pastry, rich rakes, pork, sau
sage, any. fried food, hot breads,,
baked beans, tea and coffee.
