V r; THE ALLIANCE (NEBRASKA) HERALD Thursday, April 10, 1919 "I Want to See Every Wage Worker Own His Own Home" W. B. WILSON, SECRETARY OF LABOR Thi U a direct plea from the Secretary of Labor to every WORKING MAN AND WOMAN IN THE UNITED STATES. The Secretary of Labor knows, from his own early experiences, that it is possible for every working man to own his own home. He knows, further, that homes are not created by chance, but by hard and persistent effort. Homes brine: self respect: homes in culcate the habit of thrift; and homes are the very foundation for your future usefulness AS AN AMERICAN CITIZEN. THE HARDEST THINO IN GETTING; A HOME IS IN WORKING YOUR DETERMINATION TO THE STARTING POINT. After making the start the rest is easy. LET US HELP YOU WITH THE STARTINO POINT.

In common with rcjorto on this nature of Industry the ru.iors come by "underground" sources, as oil companies are not in the habit of advertising either their success or failure broadcast, prefer ring to let the results show for them selves. He this cs It may, some two weeks ago a roport was received In this city from a source believed -to have ac cess to authentic data, that a (low of e.ll hud been struck. According to the report, officials of the company visited the Hanner county holdings shortly thereafter. In speaking of the situation, the Banner County News says in Its last week's Issue: "Work at the oil well goes stead ily on, notwithstanding the persist ent rumors to the contrary In the railrnn 1 towns. A new engine was recently brought out to replace the one broken beyond repair. Anoth er n-ll of cr.ble became necessary a few weeks ago and was spliced on. The work of drilling is slow and ar duous because of the great depth, hut skilled men are at the helm and under the efficient and experience'! mil' 1 of Superintendent Kyle, there Is i o hitch in the program of steady drilling. "Last week the president and sec retary of the Tralrle Oil & Gus Co. visited th well. They were on a f hv of inspection to various proper ties of 'he company. They gave out no ipforrr.ntlon as to what they thought of Banner couirty prospects. "The depth reached by the drill is i iere!y conjecture, but our gueHs of 6.000 feet would bring the well not tar from the deepest well In the world, which was drilled by the Standard Oil Company in West Vir ginia to a depth of between 7,000 and 8.000 feet. The drill Is still go ing here and we still have hopes." Scottsbluff Is also Interested in the. Banner well for the reason of consolidating a portion of the possi ble output from that district, should the rumors of a successful strike be '.rue, with those of other districts, which are said to be looking toward this city as 'he logical distributing point for the several fields to the west and north. Some of these fields such as Lusk have been proven and are producing, but seek an addition al outlet for their product to that af forded by the Northwestern road. In consequence, a pipe line in the fu ture between the Lusk fields and this city Is easily within the range of pos sibility. A pipe line fronr the west to this city has been talked of for some time, and should the prospecting in the Goshen Hole country and on the Kawhlde prove the existence of oil In those regions, Scottsbluff would be and Is looked upon as the logical point for the proper concentration for the product of the various fields and the location of a refinery. These pipe lines are no "'pipe dreams," but have been and are now the subject of a considerable amount of serious thought, which will result In reality, following the successful opening of adjacent fields.

I OOC3U 3C Q ) K )OQ More Dairy Cows lo to Florida If dairy cows published a news paper a large part of the socnety col umn would be taken up at this time with notices of members of noted dairy families leaving their homes In the North to spend the wnter n the Bunny South. The fact is that thou sands of dairy cattle are being shipped Into southern states this winter, and It Is probable that they will like ther new homes so well that they will not return. A campaign is being conducted in Florida with the object of placing at least one dairy cow on every farm in the state, and If possible two or three. The Orange county agent has preached this policy to his county for the past few months, and as a result, in one week recently three carloads of pure bred Holsteln and Jersey cattle were or ought Into the locality from the North. One car, however, was made up of South Carolina stock. Have you L.ANU FllH BAL.Kt I Advertise It In these columns. It'a I the cheapest and quickest way to tiort , buyer.

She used it to keep her hair beautifully dark, glossy and attractive. Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect. But -brewing at home is muisy and out-of-date. Nowadays, by asklarf as any drug store for a 60 cent bottle of "Wyeth's Ssge and Sulphur Compound," Jou will get this famous old preparation, mproved by the addition of other in gredients, which can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair. A well-known downtown druggist says it darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this I through your hair, taking one strand at a time, isy morning the gray hair dis appears, and after another application or two, it becomes beautifully dark and glossy. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound is a delightful toilet requisite for those who desire a more youthful appearance. It is not intended for the cure, mitigation or prevention ol disease. 0 ft 0 Seffvfimig IPirrodhmeeir and CdDimsimiMeir : J 3 . y , 4 The Livestock Producer Want -The highest prices his cat tle will bring. -Aa assured market 12 months in a year. -Selling outlets that cover the entire world. The Meat Consumer Wants . Meat at the lowest prices it can be bought. A stabilised, supply, winter and summer alike. Distribution that brings the meat fresh, sweet and in prime condition. These things Armour and Company are able to provide, because the Armour organization has kept pace with international needs. When Armour began turning waste parts into saleable by products, the farmer profited because it became possible to pay him on a basis for the whole animal, instead of for just the meat, hide and tallow. And as by-products provide for a large part of the production cost, the consumer pays less for his meat. When Armour and Company started building refrigerator cars on a large scale, fresh beef, pork and mutton became at once available at all seasons and In all consuming centers. And with Armour branch houses to hold enough to make them independent of railroad uncertainties, and to distribute according to retailers' require ments, Btock-growers have the encouragement of sure markets and consumers are assured a steady always-dependable sup ply. There is nothing to prevent any packing concerns from building and operating their own refrigerator cars. Nor are they barred from conducting their own branch distributing houses. The big point is that Armour and Company, realizing that a national business could not be conducted except on a national scale, have built these cars and provided necessary marketing facilities. The, system is the -outgrowth of necessity, and to render the service which Is ex pected of it, must operate aa a whole. It cannot be efficient piece-meal, or under scattered management. The very nature of the business is against that. . Time, and the utmost In co ordination and efficiency, are first essentials in the successful handling of food products. There can be only one way to realize the greatest efficiency under such circumstances, and that is to do it as Armour and Company are doing it with preparation and shipping fa cilities under one comprehen sive management.
