THE ALLIANCE HERALD. FRIDAY, JULY 1, 1921 E. G.'s Column "Modern Clothe For Men" 308 Rox Butte Ave. ALLIANCE, NEBRASKA Veterans lot, alongside a captured German cannon. Well, here's hoping for success. I Yours as always, A little town where gritty dust ' Cnines swirlinR through on every gut, And just alive to the extert, That nothing iroes on but the rent; But many a man who's won renown Came from that little dust blown town. Well, we sure have the dust with us these days, but it would be at least a hundred per cent worse if we didn't have the paving, so let's try to forget -wnat u cost, and improve our digestion by thinking pleasantly about how much good it does for us and all concerned. And not only that but try . to get ready to have some more done next year. A man from Crawford was in Alli ance, yesterday, and hunted us up, and asked about the man who watched the races from the top of his chimney, near the fair grounds, and he laughed about the wife building the fire in the range, and about the high perched race watcher, stuffing his hat in the chim ney and thereby smoking his wife out. But what the man from Crawford wanted to know was this: "Did you sell him a new hat ?" Well, we hadn't noticed it before, but. we have sold a lot of new hats since the race meet, and judging from the shortage in the receipts at the gate, there must have been a deluge of "Chimney Seats." And what would be more natural for the man who needed a new hat, than to come to Laing's to buy it, for the prices are so right that we have sold out most everything that we had ex cept sevens, but we have a bigr assort ment of size seven, and the prices are set for "hair trigger" action, and they are all to go before we get out our new fall lines of hats, but we have already gotten in some advance ship-' menu of hats for fall. Come in and , let us quote you prices on them, too. j MB I And right now I am reminded of a ' circumstance, that took place during a frame of baseball in the American league, between Chicago and Detroit at Detroit, and at which I was among those present. "Modern Clothes For Men." Bank Wrecker at Broken Bow. KM. Hdings, who was iried and convicted jit Thedford for wrecking the Farmers State bank of Halsev, has been sentenced by Judge Paine to serve from one to ten years in the pen itentiary. Owing to the lack of jail accommodations at Thedford, Hidings was brought to Broken Bow and placed in jail here, pending an appeal to the supreme court and while trying to se cure bonds from Minneapolis, his place of residence. The Hnlsey bank was closed the latter part of 1919, and it was one. of the first bank failures in the state since pre-war times. The prosecution was conducted bv Assist ant Attorney General Chase and Judge H. M. Sullivan of Broken Bow. N. T. Gadd of Broken Bow and A. M. Cary were for the defense. The iurv re turned a verdict of guilty after being out two nours. the indictment against Hidings was for causing to be. procured the illegal issuance of cashier's cer tificates of" deposit. Several counts were charged. The certificates of de posit were for $1,000 each. The state was prepared to prove that $20,000 of these certificates were illegal, but the counts principally depended upon cov er $13,000. In most instances worth less or doubtful paper was placed in the bank in place of the certificates. Ridings obtained $5,000 of such cer tificates from Cashier Dion and then asked for $10,000 more without secur ing them in any way. The certificates were sold in different parts of the country, generally ta.bankers. Custer County Chief, Broken Bow. The first baseman for Detroit had made a safe hit, in the right field, and was trying to stretch it out into a two bagger, and was just about to make it, but the ball was coming in fast, and to keep the ball from touching him he slid a long slide to second, and the dust came up big and high, and we couldn't tell for a second whether he i would be out or safe, till the dust cleared away somewhat, and then we could see that the runner had stretched his fairly safe hit into a two bagger, for he was safe on second, but he did not get up and start on with the game, so we concluded he was hurt, but some one called time out, and one of the players ran over -to the Detroit "dug out" and came back presently with a wheelbarrow, and the men then pro ceeded to put the base runner into the wheelbarrow and pushed him off the field into the "dug out." Well, we thought that there would be a new player on in a minute, but the same player came back just in a jiffy, and there was a roar of laughter went up as we all discovered that he had on a new pair of trousers. Now the point is this: he knew where to get those new trousers, and if you all knew the prices we have on our new trousers you would all be in looking at them this week end, for we are going to sell most of these new work pants this week, for we have them priced at only two dollars and forty-eight cents, and this price will sell thorn fa:-t, 1 am sure. Last nip-lit the United Spanish War veterans held a meeting at the Alli ance Hotel in the Balm Boom, and en joyed a good feast, well prepared by Mrs. Miller, and her help, and a fine dinner we had too, and an enjoyable and profitable time. And among other -things we are sponsoring is the secur ing of a memorial tablet to be placed ut the War Veteran's lot at Green wood cemetery , and a cannon for the same place, which we believe we will bo able to ?et, through united effort. Yet we have Only a few members, but all seem to be fcl.ive, and through con certed effort we hope to put the thing across. And on next Decoration day, e hoje that you will see this memorial tablet iij place on our War It Was Some Shock. Judge Alden is reported by an ex change to frequently tell the follow ing story to illustrate the manner in which many people read history: A certain little church of a suburb city district had arranged for a Christ mas program at their place of wor ship. It was decided to use an appro priate motto and have it decorated in a very elaborate frame from the pic ture shop. One of the esteemed dea cons; a business man of good repute volunteered to attend to the matter with especial care. His services were gladly accepted and a few days later he made plans for a business trip to the city. Bing a business man he readily fell in with his business mat ters and was on the verge of going home when he thought of the Christ mas motto and frame. To save him he could not think of either words or motto, or the size of the frar.e. After Fome agitation he did what all really wise and good men do: he thought of hi3 wife. Within a short time he was at the telegraph office and sent the following message: Dear Mary: "Please wire Xmas motto and size of frame. With, love, "JIM." Before an answer could be received a new operator was on duty and when the answer did come it required the attention of doctors and nurses to care for the operators of the entire system. The following is a copy of the tele gram he received: "Dear Jim: Unto Us a Child is Born; Unto Us a Son is Given. Four feet wide and six feet long. With love, "MARY."
