George Sylvester Vlercck's tniast
that he cn control fi.000,000 American
votes in the interest of Germany has
been denied by letters from twelve
leading citizens of Teutonic extraction
in Louisville, Ky., to the Jefferson post
of the American Legion in that city.
The letters, together with a resolution
condemning Viereck as an advocate of
un-American principles, have been
made public by the post. Louisville
legionnaires will hold an all-American

When the government salvage de
pot employment office at Toledo, O.,
failed to employ a resonable number
of ex-service men, the Lucas county
council of the American Legion in
vestigated the situation and obtained a
promise of adjustment from the cap
tain in charge of the depot The le
gion investigation showed that, out of
2fl employees, 97 were ex-service men,
50 were ineligible at the time of war
and 114 had never been in the service.
Although he was arrested and con
victed of a misdemeanor, a twenty-year-old
wounded veteran of the world
war, is to receive through the offices
of the American Ix?gion of Detroit,
Mich., an education as an electrical
engineer. The boy had enlisted at the
age of seventeen and was twice wound
ed during the St. Mihiel drive. He
had always wanted an education, he
told the judge, but was compelled to
leave school when he was six years
old because of the separation of his
parents. The judge placed him on pro
bation to a representative of the legion
who is arranging for the youth to en
roll in an engineering course under the
government provisions for vocational
training of wounded veterans.

Senators who opposed the honse
movie bill and favored the Beebe
amendment resent the charge that
they are not in favor of clean pictures.
They say that they do favor improving
the quality of the moving pictures and
that they believe the Beebe bill will
do more to accomplish the desired re
sult than the house bill. All kinds of
predictions are made as to what the
house will do with the Beebe bill. Some
say it will not concur and that there
will be no movie legislation at this
session. Others say the bill will be
accepted. Probably no one knwws at
the present time.
The other day Clifford Sward, went
up to the post office to get some little
chickens that had been fhipped from
Denver. . Well there was eighty-five
little fellows in the shipment, and of
course he could hear them and they
sounded pretty live, but before accept
ing them he thought that he should
have a little look nt them, and see if
they were most of them live ones.
And he discovered there were eighty
two live ones, and live ones they were
too.
Well he lifted the lid just a teeny
weeny bit, and that little bit just let
eighty two heads stick through, and
he couldn't get the lid down without
smashing some heads, and the lid was
a little bit loose at one end, and the
first thing he knew there was eighty
two of the livest, yellowest, softest,
cutest little baby chicks running
around the post office, pecking at the
mail saefcs and scratching the floor,
and running in every direction. And
say you should have seen the post
office force all running down these
little chicks, and incidentally did you
ev er try to catch a bunch of lively lit
tfe fellows like those were.
I shoo)) have lfked very much to
ave seen Miss Benedict chasing those
little chicks. But it would not have
been so much fun watching Robert
Graham, for I saw him one time hold
ing on to a rope, down in Grand
Island, and putting on bis share of
quite a lot of fun.

AT THE CHURCHES
BAPTIST CHt R( II
By all means cultivate the habit of
going to church. No home is safe
where this habit is not sought to be
ingrained in the children." The secur
ity of everybody depends upon the
right kind of religion. The safety of
the family depends upon the right
kind of churches, rather than upon
the policemen, and solvency of the
banks depends unon the preachers in
stead of the banker.
We boast upon the solidarity of our
stocks and bonds and mortgages and
farm lands as if they were of real
value, in themselves they have no
value. Their value depends upon the
honesty of the clerks, the lawyers,
and others who have the responsibil
ity of drawing them np.
The churches of Alliance constitute
the best assurance of the security and
safety of the people and capital of
our town.
But the amount of infuerrce these
churches wYH exert ami extend to
making the morals" of our Ihvs and
girls will denend upon fhe way the
people of Alfiance support them by
their presence and money.
You are wefcome to come tr our
service next Sunday wher ethe pas

topics:

She wants the family to eat the bread
she buys with a relish. Toward this end we

NOT TOUCHED BY HANDS
UNIFORM SIZE AND WEIGHT
Is another important feature of "Eatmore Bread," that we
have specialized upon. Each loaf is baked in separate pans,
which insures uniform size and shape. There are no lop
sided or ungainly shapes. Each slice of bread will cor
respond in shape to others on the same dish. There is no
need emphasizing this feature to the house wife. ( , 'jk

Alliance Bakery
A firm in Alliance this week had a
shipment of barbed wire come in, a
carload, and when its freight bill came
up it was for the amount of $917
freight and $27.51 war tax. Now, I
think that this makes wire come
pretty high, don't you? Seem3 to me
that the railroad must lose money by
such prices as this seems to be, for
one hates to have to ask such prices
for wire as this no doubt necessitates,
for this .is bound to cause a higher
price than if the price was more rea
sonable; therefore I claim that there
is not as much merchandise being
shipped as would be shipped if the
freight rate were not so high.

And this is the exact reason why
we are applying in our business just
what we think that the railroad should
apoly on their freight rates, We sell
our merchandise for the least possible
margin of profit, thinking that we
will sell enough more, that we will
make it back in what we term "turn
er." For if we make 2 per cent on
each turnover, and turn the goods
twelve times in the year we will make
more than we would by selling the
goods once and making a cash profit
of 24 per cent. And we get to handle
much more money, to say nothing or
the fresher goods that you get and
the better service.

Yourself
You have been "good" to your, friends for a
long time. You have been a spender. No
' one ever called you penurious, or close, or
tight. But what have you to show in re
turn? Why not be a "good fellow" to yourself, open
an account with this bank and turn your
generosity to your own account and credit?
The results will show up in a short time,
