Among the thousands of visitors who visited Alliance on Wedneday of last week there were a few who be came bo interested in aviation that they were rather absent minded when they took the trains for home. On the train going east there was a rather large family which disembark ed at Mullen. Evidently the parents missed one of the nunieerous brood of children or when the train ar rived at Halsey the conductor was handed a telegram which asked him to look for one "freckled-faced boy, nine years of age, wearing dark blue suit, sort hat, tan shoes, etc., etc.," The conductor, on looking through the train, found the yonngster fast asleep.

The well-known and widely popular Mitchell cars and trucks will be handled and the enargy necessary to establish a thriving business will be Instilled Into the business. Attorney E. 11. Boyd, of the firm of Boyd & Metz had business at east-end-of-state points this week. Though rather belated and neces sarily bo because of an acute short age of help, The Herald w ishes to es pecially compliment The Famous Clothing store upon the very artistic window display arranged prepara tory to the visit of the war "aces" last week.
