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

pounds of the stutT for the St. Pat

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

Today's Best Story.
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

will!"
This story is strangely reminiscent
of the vl10eze about the young man
who asked a similar ouertion of his

Final Conference on
Reduction of Wages
Is Set for March 23
Railroad men and others have shown
much concern ever the reported an
nouncement of reduction of wages of
unskilled lalwr and of other prospect
ive reductions. 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.

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. In
