KIGIIT ' THE ALLIANCE. HERALD, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1D21 Thinks the Interstate Commerce Commission Has Bit Off Large Chew Former Railway Commiss'nnor Vic tor K. Vil: on is of thp opinion that Interstate! commerce commission ipk tilation Hnl FUervi.!on of nil railway rates w;ll break lown within a ?ry hort time following its shumpt;on f the power, lie l:--e this upon (he fart thHt in practicully every imroi tant rate case that has Urn before the commission the order that it has issued therein has created m many new discriminations and inequities that the case ha had to be reopened, lie cites two enses of importance, in which he represented the state com mission. These are the live Mock rates on Nebraska roads and the Memphis-Southwestern case, wy the. State Journal. Mr. Wilson says that a body of nine or eleven men cannot possibly do the work the commission will have on its hands when it undertakes to do all the ratemakinir for the country, even though it employes examine to take the testimony and report findings. If the rate-making is to be national ized, it will have to be handled in home Fuch way as the railroads were operated during the time of govern ment control, by regional bodies. When it comes to that, the situation will not be very greatly changed from state railway commission control of state rates. Mr. Wilson is also of the opinion that the railroads are finding that the new high rates are higher than the tralTic will bear. This has Ien proved true, Commissioner Ilrowne rays, in the matter of moving fruits and vegetables. They won't move under the existing high rates. The result will be overproduction and rotting in pome sections and famine iind high prices in others. Legion Dinner-Dance the Biggest Success in History of Organization The dinner ami dunce given by the members of Alliance Tost No. 7, Amer ican Legion, for themselves and their ladies, established a t.ew record for the post. The attendance was close to one hundred. There were no speeches or set program of any kind, but during the course of the dinner, army songs nd other songs were started at will and finishes! in the same way. ' Following the dinner, the tables were pushed back and the Fern Gar den orche.'tra, augmented by a couple of additional players, furnished music for dancing, and it was dog-goned good music, too. There were cards for those who didn't dance. The legion plans to Hive a series of these affairs. Mrs. Jane Farp has recovered from her illness and is now able to be out AT THE CHURCHES BAPTIST ( llt'Rf II NOTCH Lost, Slrajed. Stolen, Found. Six-tv-two stole a march on the devil nnd ftruyed in the prayer meeting Wednes day evening. While there they lost their indifference and in the players and in the songs that, followed they found a new source of joy. A man and wife who had not attended prayer meeting for fifteen years, were there nnd of co'ine will be there hereafter. In the testimonies on "Things I Have Learned in My Christian Experience," said. "I have found that Christ is a practical Savior." Practical, that's the word for us. We are striving to make the church of Jesus Christ one of prac tical value and thank God we are see ing results already. Last month there was on an average of one addition for each day for the entire month. Several more for next Sunday, thu the work goes on from week to week. A young man got up in the meetings Wednesday and asked for prayer for himself and sister. Will they le con veiled? To your knees, Christians, and they will be. We are looking for the largest at tendance of our woi here next Sun day both morning and evening. The pastor preaches on the following sub jects, morning: "Ought Christian's Keep the First Day of the Week or the Seventh?" This topic was sug gested by a question found in the box. The evening sermon is on "The Ob noxious Doctrine of the Atonement." Specials in the choir Sunday morn ing is, "Every Hour I Need Thy Bless ing"; for the evening, a solo by Miss Young. "Earth's Little While." Sunday school at the usual hour. Classes for all ages. 'Come and help us attain the two hundred mark. Children are asked to be there fif tee nminutes earlier to practice sing ing. The pastor is going to organize the class of new members to meet with him at intervals on .Sunday after noon, to study and receive training in the Christian life. Thus laying the foundation not only for their success in their own life, but for a strong church in the future. The weak spot in the average church is that they take lots of folks in and never train 'hem with the result that their lives are rot any better after than before. Again we welcome all to all the services Sun day. Come to the church where the crowds are always there, and where things take place. subjects for next Lord's clav: "Greater Work Than These Shall Ye do," and jwill be at the Communion service, if you llieve in the atonement of Christ's blood. I There is loom in the adult and in termediate departments of the Bible school for more. Regardless of crowd ed condition we will try to make rv.om for you in whatever class you belong. The young people invite you to the Endeavor prayer meetings. Come to the church with a message and a welcome. STEPHEN J. EPLEH, Minister. PRESBYTERIAN C IICRCH George Bancioft, the historian, said of American indeendencc that "the tevolut'on of 177fi, so far as it was af fected by religion, was a Presbyterian measure. It was the natural outgrowth f the principles which the Presbyter ians of the Old World planted in her sons, the English Puritans, the Scotch Covenanters, the French Huguenots, the Dutch Calvinists and the Presby terians of Ulsten." President Benjamin Harrison said: "The Presbyterian church has been I steadfast for liberty, and has kept steadfast for education. It has stood heartiest support ir every way pos sible. The pastor will be assisted for two weeks before Easter, March 13 to 27, by Rev. E. I Butler, a pastor in .Wyoming at the present time, but un jtil a few months ago, for a number of years a pastor in Indianapolis. Further announcements will be made later. MEARL C. SMITH, Pastor.

DROEGEMUELLER, Pastor. as stiff as a stel beam for the faith .delivered to our fathers, and it still stands with steadfastness for that es isentional doctrine the inspired Word. It is not an illiberal church. There is no body of Christians in the world that opens its arms wider to all who love the Master. Though it has made no boast or shout, it has yet been an ag gressive church. It has been a mis sionary church from the beginning." Morning worship at 11 o'clock. Ser mon, "How Your Church is Carrying on Today." Evening service at 7:30. Subject, "Solving Problems by Indi rection or the Gentle Art of Leaving Off." Christian Endeavor at 6:30 p. m.

We have two 4-h. p. Cushman general farm engines for sale cheap if taken at once. Dierks Lumber & Coal Co. 26-27 CHRISTIAN CHURCH What does it take to live the Chris tian life? The stamp of heaven is upon righteous living. Worhlliness and indifference destroy Christian in fluence. Are you loyal to the whole program of the church ? If the church had to depend upon such as you for its support would it exist? Tliese are questions for you to think about. As you think about these things pray over the matter and see what effect it will have on your life. The minister will use the following METHODIST CHURCH Edna Benedict will' lead the league Sunday evening. The subject will be "India," or "God's Providence in Agri culture." The Sunday school superintendent has a surprise for the school at its next session, that will be of great in terest to every member. Come out and hear about it After much prayer for guidance, after the failure of many plans, we have made our plans for the season's revival, which we feel are in harmony with the will of the Father. Our mem bership has been asked to share with the pastor, the burden of a soul win ning campaign which will be carried on through prayer and personal work. A challenge was made to the church Sunday morning to meet this responsi bility. The response has been most gratifying. A good attendance at the Wednesday night prayer meeting in individual testimonies pledged their Salvation Army Corps May be Withdrawn if Conditions Don't Mend The local Salvation army corps is reported to le seriously considering withdrawing from Alliance, unless con ditions improve within the next few weeks. The three young women who have been carrying on the work here have had insufficient funds to take care of themselves, and in the short time they have been in the city have gone into debt in excess of $500. The local corps was established here at the time of the state-wide drive for funds for the Salvation army, local business men refusing to have any thing to do with the campaign to se cure Box Butte's county's quota unless a corps were established. Quarters were secured and the drive partially completed, but the money shortage hit before the campaign was fully under way ami it has never been completed. The original intent'on was that the Salvation army should be the central charitable and relief organization for the city, but this idea has not met with favor in certain circles. STOLEN!
