TI1S AL-MANCB ItHRALD, FRIDAY, APRIL 30, 1920 Random Shots Streets are still muddy. Ditto the crossings. How long, O Lord, how long! And how muddy! , , A boy, calling across the street to a friend: Only fifteen days, not counting Saturdays and Sundays! . Is school that near out? Youthful burglar scales peniten tiary walls and gets back Into Joliet prison. Says, when Interviewed, that the prison life Is te only way to beat old H. C. L. Additional guards hare been placed at the penitentiary walls. If this craze spreads like the over all fad, we'll have big drives to build more jails. Whenever the High Costs gets too much for us, we re going back to the navy. Best Jail we were ever in. (En emies please forward to our com manding officer, whose address will be given on request.) Movies every night. Every holiday observed with a big feed. Didn't even miss Columbus day. JuBt received notice of another privilege that naval reservists are to have. We can buy naval clothing now.

Bill Maupln says he was consid erably worried about the future of the horse until he looked out of his wlnJow one of those muddy days. If he could only see Alliance's streets, he'd invest in a horse ranch. Why go to Europe to see ruins, Mark Twain once asked. Come to Alliance and see the crosswalks. Today's best story: "We got $5,000 out of that rail road wreck we were In." "But you told mo you weren't hurt." "I wasn't, but I had the presence of mind to kick my wife in the face." AN APPRECIATION ' I feel greatly Indebted to the many friends who assisted me hi any man ner during my efforts to win The Herald's automobile prize. I wish to take this means of thanking them, and assuring them that their aid was truly appreciated. 4P RALPH V. COX. ALLIANCE BRIEFS One of the men In charge of the city's paving project must have cele brated his birthday Thursday. About four hours after the rain censed and the wind had begun to dry the mud dy crossings, two or three of the worst were covered with cinders. There weren't so very many cinders, and they didn't do so very much good. The first automobile that crossed squashed them down and let the water In again, but it was a start, and The Herald Is ever ready to shout in glad acclaim when the poor est of beginnings is made. Probably Mayor Rodgers waa at the bottom of HIM WIIIMIIIIIHIUUMMI IWWIM js i DeMoss Store Alliance Satin J.y V unwM I M il this change of heart, but we would like to credit the paving contractor with a desire to have some consider ation for the public. The week of May 1? to 22 baa been designated as "membership I week" for the American Legion, and the Alliance post, along with others In the state and nation, will make some strenuous efforts during those days to gather into the fold every ex soldier or sailor who has not affili ated. Nebraska will do a little more than the others, for In this state the I entire month of May has been set' apart for a membership drive, and if, taere Is any way to do It, the thirty thousand non-members In this state! will be enrolled. The local post has not announced plans yet, but the campaign will be conducted energet ically, and meetings, smokers and entertainments are in prospect. Alliance Klka have been requested to sut aside every possible room In their homes for the use of delegates and visitors to the state convention, which will be held here June 23 and 24. The Elks will also canvas their neighbors who are non-Elks for suit able rooms, and by the time the con- vention Is called to order Secretary P. Cogswell and H. O. Condlt, chair man of the committee In charge, ex pect to have a large list of available quarters for the visitors. Dr. O. J. Hand and Ray Trabert have been appointed as the gymna sium committee for the local Elks lodge. The lodge has a well fitted I gymnasium, but for some time there have been no regular classes. The two mm selected are thoroughly ex perienced in physical culture and athletics, and it Is expected that the gymnasium will shortly be one of the most popular features of the lodge. Classes and teams of various kinds ;will be organized. l T. J. O'Keefe has purchased the residence property at Sixth and Big Horn from Mrs. Frank Fleming. Mrs. Fleming is making her home In California. The bad weather has given Coun ty Judge Tash a rest which has en dured for the better part of three weeks. A number of cases have ' been on the docket, but as fast as the time rolls around for hearing, I one side or another, or both, request a continuance. A number of cuas have also been settled out of court. The petition for paving of Lara mie avenu.e, now in the hands ot W R. Harper, la meeting with a good response, the residents along that street being almost unanimously In favor of the improvement, Howt irer, most of them are not backward about saying that if Luraniie uv.uue is ever included in a paving district, the residents will have something to say about how the work Is done, "There'll be no general removal of crossings on Laramie," one of them said. "Laramie street Is more for tunate than some. A good simv of the lawyers of the city live on . his street, a couple of Judges, and there its a church about the' middle. It ! they start to Jerk out our crosai'iKs by the wholesale, we'll hold a meet in g in that church basement, and something will happen when we put our lawyer friends to work." Work is again proceeding on the Antioch road, between snow storms and rainstorms. Contractor Roberta announces that he expects to be on the job personally within the next few days, and will stay with it uniil It Is done. Mrs. Roberts will accom pany him. Janitor Corp at the court house has worked undaunted through the rain, sleet, snow and mud of the p.ist two or three weeks. Installing sum mer pipe for watering the flower gar dens on the court house lawn. The last pipe line was laid on Thursda, and all Mr. Corp will have to do will be to turn on the water every so often and keep the weeds pulled. There will be some fine flower beds at the county capitol this huiuiu.m. but if the rain keeps on as regularl as It has the past month, soiuq of this pipe line work will havj been wasted.
