Your Nose Knows
A cleft nose indicates benevolence
A thick nose is an indication of in
dolence.
A turned-up nose is said to indicate
impudence.
An aquiline nose indicates high
mindedness.
A long nose js a sign or merit,
power and genius.
A Roman nose indicates a propensity
lor auvemure.
A durved and fleshy nose is regard
ed as an indication of cruelty.
A I a I t 11 M
a curved, vnin nose is ne;a 10 be a
mark, of a brilliant mind, but also in
dicates vanity and a tendency, to be
ironical.
We've pot one of those thick noses.
but we refuse to concede that s we're
lazy. Once, in our extreme youth, we
tumbled ou,t of the cradle and it was
mis lan that made our nose look this
way. Originally, we firmly believe, it
was one ci inose long noses.
No one can convince us that it was
that fall from the cradle that changed
us from a genius to a gilded idler.
"Do you believe in pre-natal influ
ence?" asked the bachelor. "Most as
suredly," replied the married man.
"For instance, my baby is very wake
ful at nights, and I firmly believe it
is just because my wife used to insist
upon sitting up and waiting for me
to come home."- ....
Ole Buck says:" A Chadron newly
wed is going to economize by eating
his wife s cooking. He says he won't
Ct more than half as much."
There's nothing so contagious as the
column habit. One of the Bayard
papers has it now. The Hemingford
Ledger is probably immune.
The Chicago Tribune has found an
other man to edit the column made
famous by B. L. T. It still carries the
same name at the masthead, but the
cargo is different.
A neighboring column conductor
remarks that the fellow who said it is
"close money" is a much better judge
of distance than the man who called it
"near beer". For instance in our life
we admit we were wrong. We thought
that distance and near-beer wheeze
was so ancient that there wasn't an
other laugh in it, but you never car
tell what a clever guy will be able to
do.
When Ole Buck was in Alliance, he
admitted to us that he had used the
wrong system in educating Mrs. B.
We told him our theories about bring
ing up a wife, and he ackuowledged
they were the best he ever heard.
Then, as .-oon as he gets away from us,
the old coot writes this way:
"George Burr of Alliance, has the
right idea for training a new wife but
I'll bet a four dollar dog against e
two dollar and a half cat that he will
fall down jut like all the rest of u.1
married men have."
They're still selling war savings
stamps, but it doesn't interest us.
Wev'e got a handful of Liberty Bonds
that we would be darned glad to sell
for the same money we put into them.
Line will form at the right, please.
We've just learned that there is a
contest on between Nebraska and Iowa,
to see which will buy the most savings
stamps. Two years ago, while the
country editors were permitting them
selves to be worked under the guise of
patriotism, at the same time the gov
ernment was paying money to the big
dailies, everyone would have known
this contest was on. This makes us
feel good on two counts on, that there
never was a better indication of the
value of country newspaper advertis
ing, and the other because our breth
ren of the press are finally learning
the important fact that if bread is to
be buttered, the newspaper man can't
give away the only thing he has to
sell.
rolitical Stuff.
From the Stars and Stripe?: 'Teace.
Progress and Prosperity ! At least
we've- got the Teace."
Does anyone rememlter what slogan
the democrats used?
And how stirred up Bill Harper got
over the charge that there was a big
republican slush fund?
A Good Dodge to Remember.
Three Scotchmen went to church,
each clutching tightly the penny he in
tended to contribute when the plate
was passeh Consternation reigned
when the minister announced that this
particu'ar Sunday an effort was to be
made to raise the mortgage and asked
every member of the congregation to
make a substantial offering.
During the prayer the Scots held a
whispered consultation as to the jolu
ton of their dilemma and reached a
satisfactory decision.
One fainted and the other two car
ried him out.
Some Ball Game.
The game opened with Molasses at
the stick and Small Pox catching,
Cigar was in the box with plenty of
smoke; Horn on first base and Fiddle
on second; backed by Corn in the field
and they made it hot for Umpiie Ap
ple, who was lottcn. Ae came to b:.t
but chopped. Cigar let Brick walk and
Sawdu-t filled the bases. Song made a
hit and Twenty made a score. Cigar
went out and B.illoon tried to pitch,
but went straight up; then Cherry
tried it but was wild. Old Ice kopt cool
until he was cracked by a ball, then
yeu should have heard Ice Cream.
Cabbage had a Rood head and kept
tiu:'t. Grass covered lots of ground in
the field and the crowd cheered when
Spider cauirht a fly. Bread loafed on

ed Peanuts was shameful. Knife was
put out for cutting third ba.-e. Light

Oats was shocked. Then Song made
another bit; Tiombone mude a slide;
Meat reached the plate, followed Yyf

would have shut them out.
One of the greatest of the griefs
that come to an editor, and there are
simply thousands of them all together,
is when he picks up a news letter
fiom a correspondent two cr three
pags of live news and finds that the
writer has failed to put either the
name of her locality or her own name
on it, and there isn t any way to trace
it. Some of these days we'll know
everybody in the county and won't
have to tear our hair, but until that
glad day comes, we sure do need assistance.
An Appreciation
We wish to thank the business rrcn and others who
so generously purchased tickets to our benefit dance,
and especially to thank Lo wry & Henry and the Ed

Two Girl Tourists Are
Hiking From Sylvan Lake
to Their Home in York
Two girls, aged in the early twen
ties, which almost entitles them to be
referred to as young ladies, were
trudging along the Chadroo road to
ward Alliance about 3:30 Sunday
evening, ueorge D. Darling and wife,1
in the new Buick, gave the girls a life,
and brought them to Alliance, where
they spent the evening. Both of the
girls said they lived in York, and are
hiking from Sylvan Lake, S. D., to
York. Their names could not be learn
ed.
The pedestrians left Alliance Mon
day morning on their way. They told
Mr. and Mrs. Darling that they plan
ned to follow the wagon road, and go
by way of Sidney, even if it would be
a shorter trip to follow the tracks.
The reason for this is that the hoboes
are so thick along the way that they
do not care to take any chances. One
of the girjs carried a small pistol.
"We haven't had to use it yet, and we
hope it won't be necessary," she said.
Ine girls.-were dressed in regular
tourist khaki clothes. They Faid they
had left Chadron Sunday morning, and
got a lift of seventeen miles. Their
day's walk Sunday amounted to ovei
forty miles. They declared they liked
the experience immensely, but ad
mitted their feet were blistered.
Mike Sanders, who is employed in
the Omaha offices of the Northwestern
Bell Telephone company, is taking the
place of Clav Hany as commercial
manager of the company's Alliance ex
change while Manaeer Harry is taking
his vacation. Mr. Sanders has a whole
lot of friends in Alliance, although he
was never stationed here. In the
earlier days, Mike was manager of the
Norfolk exchange, and as a member of
the volunteer fire department of that
city attained a prominent place in the
councils of the .-Hate association. Mr.
Sanders has been holding reunions
with John Guthrie, Pen Kcmig and
other war horses of the state associa
tion every once in a while since he
tuck town. He expects to be here a
week or ten days.

BUY YOUR NEXT SEASON'S COAL NOW
If you wish to be certain that it will be in your bin
when the first cool breezes blow.
The repoits you are reading in newspapers and
circulars to the effect that a coal shortage is very
likely to be on us is not just propaganda to wheedle
you into buying coal. These repoits are based on
facts. It will give little comfort later on to hear us
say: "We told you so".
