The news dispatches from Washing
ton today cany the news thHt William
Howard Taft, former president, is the
tew chief justice of the United States
Mpreme court. President Harding thus
confirms the "protrnostications" of the
-poittcal dopesters since the death of
Judge White several weeks ago. The
appointment will undoubtedly meet
-with jreneral popular approval, for Mr.
Talt has a judicial mind, coupled with
plenty of common nense and his ap
pointment should brin the supreme
court closer to the public. Perhaps it
vrill be a long time before we are again
landed another decision like the one of
last year, allowing corporations to is
ue stock dividends, following which
the capital stock of. most of the large
corporations has been doubled and in
ome cases perhaps trebled, giving the
common people the "privilege" of help
ing pay dividends on that much more
watered ftock. The office of chief jus
tice is undoubtedly second only of im
jrtance to that of the office of presi
ient and Mr. Taft undoubtedly will
fill it in a capable manner.
On page one of this issue of The
Herald will be found a timely warn
ing by State Fire Marshall C. E. Hart
'ford to the people of Nebraska, for
the purpose of helping protect life and
limb on July Fourth, and to preserve
property from destruction by fire. Mi
Hartford says, "Fireworks indicate a
desire for excitement rather than pa
triotism; but if they must be used in
the celebration of that great day, the
Foarth of July, which we ull revere,
want to impress on the minds of the
public that small children should not
be allowed to handle fire works us they
fcre too young to realize the danger,
Marshal Hartford's appeal to the pub
lic should be carefully read and heeded,
The Lions club of Alliance has taken
good step in preparing and forward
ing a set of resolutions to the Ne
bra.wka congressional delegation at
Washington, urging that steps be tak
rn towards serious and immediate
consideration of and action on the pro
, posals for naval disarmament by the
nations of the world. A copy of these
resolutions is published on the first
jage of this issue. The thoughts con
tained therein are worthy of serious
study. The resolution follows the ex
cellent talk made by Karl Jones to
the local Den on Thursday.
PERSONALS
Big Tire Concern
Gives Advice to
Slop Tire Thief
"With tire prices at the lowest level
n history, and with the season at hand
for vneation trips, spare rims are
lieing rapidly equipped with tires, in
many cases several spares bring car
ried, snys a general letter sent to its
blanches by the tire and rubber com
pany, "and it is at this time that tire
thieves are most active.
"You can deal a death-blow at this
evil,"' the Utter continues, "by com
municating to tire dealers, who, in
turn, will suggest it to car owners, a
plan whereby tire thievery can be
practically, if not wholly, eliminated.
There is no expense involved, but on
the contrary money and trouble saved.
"It is, simply, that when "spares
are purchased they should be put in
use at once if only for a short time
and only tires that have been in use
carried as "spares.
According to officials of the com
pany a survey of the situation brought
to li"ht the remarkable fact that near
ly P9 .per cent of all tires stolen were
brand new. The approximate 1 per
cent, remaining, being used tires in
cases where, evidently, the thief didn't
stop to see what kind of tire the case
contained. Otherwise, not a single used
tire was stolen.
A passenger car load of Ogallala

charge of the party, which will re
turn through Alliance the latter part
of next week. There were thirty-five

HH years. Another chief is Standing

Harbor Decamps W ith Tools of Trade.
Krnest Onstott is not more confiding
than the average person, perhaps, but
in one case he has suffered a larger
penalty for his trust in human nature.
When he went away for a little out
ing trip last week he requisitioned a
young barber from some of the heps
at Scottsbluff to take care of his woik
during his absence. The barber, whose
name is Miller, stayed a couple of days
and then disappeared, leaving tre
front and back doors of the shop un
locked. Jack Williamson, baker next
door, noted that fact, and it developed
on investigation that the young man
had got away with about fifty dollars
worth of tools. He had been also given
the key to the Onstott house in order
that he might sleep there, and upon
the return of the Onstott family they
found something like $lf0 worth of
silverware and other valuables also
missing The officers are making a
hunt for him, one possibility being 'hat
he has gone to his former home, said
to be at Nelson in this state. But
wherever he has gone, the goods are
gone there or elsewhere. Gering
Courier.
The Chautauqua ticket committee

entertainment to be provided next
week will have to go without tickets.
Y'ou will save time and money by buy
ing your tickets early.
BIRTHS
Born, to Mr. and Mrs. J. E. LeSage,
a baby boy, weighing nine pound, on
Thursilay, June 29th.
Saved His Life and Ford.
When A. W. Brown, an insurance
man of St. Paul, Minn., piloted by
"Hutch hitemiller in a Ford, tipped
off the White river bridge near the
Ormesher ranch, he lost his purse, his
eye glasses and saved the Ford and
his life. It seems that the car got
stuck in the mud near the bridge. They
secured Bill Ormesher and a team to
pull them out. In taking them across
the bridge the insurance man calmly
guided the Henry over the side into
20 feet of White river water, which at
this time of year isn't white, at all
quite the opposite. Grasping some
over-hanging willows and assisted by
"Butch" and Bill, he was dragged to
safety minus his specs and a purse
containing over $70.00. Another team
was brought up and the Lizzie hauled
out, and wrung out, "Butch" taking
hs passenger on for the remainder of
the trip as per schedule. It is said
that everyone concerned had a hearty
laugh except the insurance man.

Don't Overlook Any
Diamonds
7" IMBERLEY was going back. The farmers
--- were disgruntled. They said they couldn't
eke a living from the rocky soil.
And all the time, their ragged youngsters
were playing with diamonds!
But the farmers didn't know. Many of
them died poor. They thought, the priceless
gems were pebbles.
Some folks are just like those Kimberley
farmers. They seek opportunity in some dis
tant place and overlook the wealth that is daily
within their grasp.
Advertising is a diamond mine of oppor
tunity. It tells of values you would probably
overlook if it was not there to guide you.
