RANDOM SHOTS Vfcat with the K-H Company, Inc., !kI the Sons of Bacehu, who dare to "y that life in this fair city is in any y humdrum? To date we have received seven bids for our option on the R-H Company, Inc. One man hid the nerve to offer os only 10 cents, and hi wife has ben out of the city for nearly a month. We refused to taik business with him. H'a about time for another visit from the Cunadian Club man that is, unless he has cut Alliance on" his itinerary. There is one ladies' furnishing ftore in Alliance that has had a cus tom of dressing its dummies in cot ton hosiery. Two or three times we have noted this ncculiarity. Last Sat- unlay, as we were wanting aiong wun iowncan eyes mm wmim- hmhh . i man, out of one corner of our right eye we caught a glimpse of n set of magnificent silk hosiery, just beneath a nifty sport model skirt. "Aha," we naid to us cenfidentially, "this mer chant has reformed. He is now put ting silken hosiery on those dummies.' Then we looked up to enjoy the tout ensemble and we saw that it wasn't a wax figure, but a saleswoman decorat ing the window. We promptly bought urself a drink. One of the saddest little ballads that we have come upon in months is from the pen of James J. Montague, poet laureate for a newspaper syndicate. It teaches a beautiful lesson, ami is en titled: The Bootlegger's Reformation! A man sold bootleg whisky In Hackensack, N. J. An occupation risky Or so I've heard folks says. A little child came to him, Her cheeks were round and red, Her lovely eyes looked through him And this is what she said: RKFRA1N. Don't sell that bootleg whisky, man, It hasn't aged nough. If you will see my pa you can Buy bonded warehouse stuff. The boys that get this hootch off you Goes out and tights with cops, Ko man can get a healthy stew Unless your traffic stops. The bad man heard the maiden, His hand began to shake, His heart with sorrow laden, Was just about to break. He was no common grafter Though he was rude and rough, And all he sold thereafter Was bonded warehouse stulT.' .Everyone wondered just why it was that a certain youth, who has been known to be mixed up in crowds of tbat kind, wasn't a member of the .Sons of Bacchus. This was satisfactor ily explained by the president of the tiiganizat'on. who said: "He -didn't ave the $2.r.O." Printers in Havana, Cuba, are some what puffed up over their location, as is proved by the follow'ng bit of verse in the Typographical Journal: One elbow on the counter, boys, Ami one foot on the rail; We'll drink a toast to other days In good old English ale. Oh, Cuban skies are sunny, And Cuban girls are fair, And Cuban wine and Cuban beer Will drive away all care. We think it can be .lue to only poetic license, or else to the refresh ments, when they tell us that Cuban irirU are "fuir." That's nothing more or less than lying propaganda. Among the men who crowded George Burke's office on the next to the last ay was Joe, who walked up to the income tax man's desk and leached for a blank. "Don't take one of those unless you have to make a return," warned George. "I'm going to run short on those. Did you earn over f 2.000 last year?" "Yes." said Joe. "How much?" a.-ked George. "Twenty-five cents," was the reply. Someone must have been telling tales out of school. The day after we maie that mistake about the silk Mornings, inoce wax dummies were wearing the expensive kind. Let me stand in a place at the foot of the stairs And watch all of the girls go by Despite all of our hints, not a single member of the school board or the faculty has so much as hinted that we were being considered for the job of morals and hosiery inspector. They call him the Confetti King now. lhe handsome head of the Alii ance school of dancing ordered five pounds of the stutT for the St. Pat lick's dance this evening, and they ex pressed him fifty. There's enough con fetti down at the Fern Garden to supply the merry-makers at the next fcix carnivals. Bill, the pianist, made it worse. He faked a telegram from the manu facturers, telling King that they re gretted exceedingly they couldn't sup ply the rest of his order, but that they were doing the best they could for him and were forwarding another fifty pounds of confetti. We've discovered something. It's possible to so order a dinner that they simply can't give you carrots. A pretty picture postcard from I C.

J!m ppters was ery much in love, hut too bashful to propose. Finally, he derded to pop the (ue,t;on by telephone. 'Majrrie, I love you," he breathed, saftly. "Will you marry me?" There was a moment's hesitation be fore the answer came. "Of course I will, George. Why didn't you come and ask ine, you simpleton?" - And Jim yelled back: "You'll have to break the news to h'm voun-elf. I'll be darned if 1 will!" This story is strangely reminiscent of the vl10eze about the young man who asked a similar ouertion of his lady love over the phone.

Reductions cannot be made by the railroads without the sanction of the labor board, says the State Journal. The Hurlington has served not'ee on freight handlers, maintenance of way employes, bridge workers and track men that it desires to reduce wages. It has held conferences with repre sentatives of the: classes at Chicago. 1 1 has pointed out to these men the railroad's reasons for desiring to re duce wages. The men went home to renort to their const'tufnts. A fin;il conference has been set for March 23. If an agreement to reduce wages is not leached at that conference, the doughboy with a m ghty grievance Hurlington will carry the case to the j and two African field pieces was just labor board. It must get the sanction ! starting to reach a distant point in the of the board before the reductions are i shortest length of time when hauled made. The Union Pacific nas held i back by his sergeant, conferences at Omaha w'th unskilled "You aims to ruicide, boy?" in laborers and has set the date for the'iuired the latter. "Whah you all final conference on that matter Omaha on March 24. Other action. roads have taken similar Before final action wages can be taken by must have the sancCon board. Some unskilled in reducing any road, it of the labor laborers are not organized and securing repre-cn-tation for them at the conference has been something of a problem. There are only two unskilled labor organizations connected with the rail roads, the maintenance of way em ployes and the railway shop laborers and the brotherhood of railway clerks The first is composed of section hands laborers in ioundhou. es, shops and i yards, and those employed . in renaT "gangs. lhe cleiks Jie ire gnt handlers, lumber checkers i and store house and warehouse men. Office men are not included. Railroad men do rot expect labor ers to agree to any roduct'ons. They lose by do;ng so, even though the board should decide that reduct'on" shall be made. They hasten the date of reductions by agree'ng in con ference. "They have notlvng to lose by staying out of an nirreenrnt end they might win something by staying out. Why should they acree?"

He is not coming back." CAUSE FOR COMPLAINT Two small boys were iiarreling over the possession oi' a toy bank when a noted local financier, w ho was passing, stopped and said to the younger: "Shame on you, my boy. Don't you want him to save his money?" "1 don't care what he does with his money," replied theiyoun. "But he wants to save mine along with it."

An Added Attraction Will He Miss Adgate, Violinist and ' LITTLE HOPE HELD FOR A REVIVAL OF TOTASII INDUSTRY (Continued from Page 1) Dr. George E. Contlra. director of the Nebraska conservation : and soil survey commision. has SDent a treat deal of time investigating the possibil ities or the potash industry in Nebras ka. He has- not lost confidence in it and is sure that there is still a pos sibility of it becoming a b'g industry. Dr. Condra says if the chemists and others engaged in find'ng a workable irocess for the recovery of soda and othr chemicals are successful, it w II tend to increase the value of the pro- luct of the reduction plants. He is of t of the reduction plants. He is of opinion that the processes involv- in the reduction and refining of ne 'i in me reduction and rennncr ota.h here have Wn perfected to a igh degree of efficiency. A survey of the state by Dr. Condra 'lowed that there are at least 20 -tkes in Nebraska that conhiin lotash in large Uantit.e. His report show that during the height of the potash boom in Nebraska approximately 100 of these lakes were worked. Tb,e apparent death of the potash in dustry in Nebraska recalls similar mineral booms of an earlier day.

Early history of the state show that pioneers were induced to establish; a town near the site where the great salt manufacturing works were to be erected. The town is now Lincoln. ' During 1916 and lfll", the little vil lage of Antioch in Sheridan county be came a potash boom center. Work ers from all parts of the state" went" there to get their share of the high wages being paid at the potash pants. Numerous new homes and hotels were buil tthat they night have a place to live.

If the chemists are able to" recover -the other chemicals in the solids ob tained in the evaporation of the brine, it is possible that the many fortunes sunk into the potah industry may be j recovered. Otherwise, in the opinion of those who have carefully investigat ed the subject, it would appear that the industry is doomed like the manu facture of salt.
