BUEJTNAN --' Alliance, Nebraska er. An Alliance Romeo was writing a missive to his girl. Something had occurred to interrupt the course of true love. Romeo was gnawing the end of the pencil, and would make a start on a new piece of paper every twenty seconds. Finally he wrote feverishly. .On the floor, after the storm had cleared away, was found a fragment that read like this: "The Ship of Love is slowly sinking and on the horizon looms the Ship of Friendship." Let us hope that the Ship of Iove gets through sinking before the Ship of Friendship arrives otherwise these might be a collision. If they should collide, would it be a case for a wrecking crew or a stomach pump? , ' . , Today's Best Story, A man and woman were walking on the Coney Island boardwalk In animated conversation. But this conversation grew more and more animated. It rose to shouts on the man's part and shrieks on the woman's. .Then the man up with his fist and knocked the woman down. She took the blow calmly enough, but as she rose she was heard id say in rather bitter accents: - "Ah, Joe, ft I'd knowed this was a-comln' I'd never have hocked me Ne. a, 1920 Sertae.

Little Lesson in Etiquette: An unmarried gentleman who is anxious to obtain the privilege of calling ou a young lady may ask some mutual friend to effect the opportunity. When the .desired advantage has been secured, however, he must not make his first call alone, but must be 'accompanied by the man or wom an who obtained him the favor. Thereafter, with the lady's permis sion, he may call alone. All the above dope is regular high society stuff. If, however, you can date her up for the movies, there Is no real reason why he should have to buy a meal or a seat for the inti mate friend. In ca'ling a gentleman friend, be reasonably certain that you have the best hand. . . - - - If quite certain, don't call raise. ; " Fair Figures from a Fair Guy: In the issue when we were credited with having 1? headed articles (which is a great way of comparing, incidentally) we actually Luu - and there were a number of w'r articles which we did not consider worth heads, although our friend down the street "played 'em up. In other words, discount this "fair" guy's knocks on The Herald 60 per cent and discount his claims at least 25 per cenj.. The gent who manufactures fig ures to suit his case can make a pretty good showing, whether he Is talking about his circulation or his news service. The other newspaper, we'll r con cede, la the only one In Alliance that has ever Issued sworn . circulation stttlotaents, audits or statements that made It appear that an issue which the press counter showed to be a trifle over 1,700 amounted to half thousand more than was' printed. Duplication spells (fupliclty. , The Herald's circulation state ments are cold facts not hot air. As we said once before, we have no circulation record to beat save our own. For the same week that oar. com pet. submits figures we find the I following (you don't need to know I the discount combination to appraise' their value, either): Live reading matter, 300 Inches; our knocking competitor, 290;. boiler plate. The Herald, 20 inches; our k. c, 10Mn ches. This Includes all live reading matter, editorial, features, etc. You can understand now why we Bay that The Herald's news service is "superior."
