Service Certificates
for Hemingf ord Soldiers
Distributed by Legion
The certificates of service, which are
row Mng rrenentod to the men in
Nebraska who went to the colors in
the world war, are bcinjr distributed to
the ex-service men through the Am
erican Lefrion posts. In Alliance, 291
of these were received by the local
post, and these have been turned over
to E. G. Lainjr for distribution, the
idea bcinjr that Mr. Lain has a cen
tral downtown location and the ex
service men will find It easier to jret to
his place of business than to hunt up
the adjutant.
These certificates nave been made
out for every Nebraska ex-soldier,
vhclher a member of the Iepion or
pot, but the organisation of ex-sol
diers Is iloinj? Its Desi to aenver wi 01
them. The understanding at first was
that all the certificates for Box Butte
county had been sent to the Alliance
port, inasmuch as the number received
here was over twice the number of
wen hclonsrinjr to the post.
Information from Hcminrford is to
the effect that James Barry PoHt No. 9,
at that place, has also received a con
titrnmpnt of the certificates, and pre
sumably soldiers living1 in that portion
of the county will be able to get their
certificates from the Hcmlnjrford le
frion. All ex-service men who were
inducted or enlisted from Heminpford
and vicinity are advised to communi
cate with Neil Erskfne, commander of
the Heminirford post.
The plan of the state official was to
make the occasion of the presentation
of the certificates a big affair. The
posts are recommended to present
them to the ex-soldiera on Armistice
clay, but this is only a suggestion. The
Alliance post has decided upon another
method of distribution, and presum
ably the Ileminjrford po.it will make
announcement of its intentions.
The state officials in charge of the
distribution, especially the adjutant
general's office, is exceedingly anxious
to have every certificate delivered to
the man entitled to it, and the request
has gone forth that soldiers who have
moved here since the war apply to le-
f:ion posts in the county of their en
istment, or send their new and old ad
dress to the office of the adjutant gen
eral. . f iffaii'fl
A number of ex-soldiers have called
at Laing'a for their certificates, but
the number of them who are especially
interested in these engraved tributes
from a grateful state is not particu
larly large. In the event they are rot
called for within a few weeks, they
will probably be mailed if the owner
still resides in the county. Other will
be returned to the state. While the
men are not wild to receive the
tributes, it is believed that the femin
ine members of their family will value
them, and as soon as the word goes
forth to the women, they, will see to it
that every man entitled to one comes
in to claim it.

Icdger tells of Bn egg within an egg
that was brought into the office. It is
pretty plain that Biddy has devised a
Rcheme that will cut down time pent
on the nest by half and give her more
leisure to dig worms and mingle with
the other animals of the barnyurd.The
Ledger tells the story:
"The outside egg, which was a hen
egg, measured six and a quarter in
ches the short way and eight and three
quarters the long way. The ones who
found it thought at first that it was a
turkey or goo egg, but it was in a
hen's nest. They decided to ooil it
While boiling it cracked open a little,
exposing something that looked ut first
like a double shell. Breaking the egg
open they found that instead of a yolk,
the big egg had inside of it an or
dinary sized hen egg, perfect in evevy
detail from the outside, with a Folid
shell. It was indeed something out of
the ordinary." " , -

The Days of
Clothes Carelessness
Are Gone
The careful dresser who is concerned about the last- .
ing quality and upkeep of his or her clothes, is no longer
content to use the ordinary kind of cleaning and tailoring
. service. .
He is wise enough to. know that ordinary methods of
cleaning his high priced clothes does not give them the
snappy new appearance that an up-to-the-minute clean
ing plant can. .
For these reasons the Model Cleaners and Tailors is
coming to be the consistent choice of the better dressers
of Alliance. Our better service and greater economy is
so obviously apparent that sending one suit or dress to us
for a trial makes a permanent customer.

Enlarge Odd Fellows Home.
YORK The grand lodge of Nebras
ka Odd Fellows Thursday afternoon
authorized the addition of a wing to
the home for the aged and for orphan
ed children at York by voting to assess
a per capita tax of one dollar a mem
ber. There are 80,000 in the state
and this will raise $30,000. The Odd
Fellows already have a cash reserve
fund Of $15,663 and $10,000 in Liberty
bonds, and this will be added to the
money raised by the per capita tax.
The wing is estimated to cost $60,000.
The York home was erected in 1910 at
cost of approximately $120,000 to
$130,000. Since the building of the
home the assembly has built a fine
archway to the entrance and last sum
mer installed a swimming pool, it is
necessary that the aged have separ
ate sleeping rooms and the new addi
tion will meet the demand, it is hoped
for some time. Mr. and Mrs. John
Pittman have been in charge of the
home for many years. Mr, Pittman 13

Nebraska Unemployment.
LINCOLN Governor McKelvie has
offered to cooyerate with Herbert
Hoover, secretary of the department of
commerce at Washington, in doing
whatever is possible on the part of the
state government to furnish employ
ment for men during the winter and
has so replied to a letter from Mr.
Hoover. About the best he offers as a
suggestion at the present time is corn
husking and in addition board and
lodging upon farms in return for
whatever work the farmers have to
offer.
The governor says there seems to
be work now for almost anyone, who
cares to work at a living wage. He
sees no prospect for business improve
ment until there is a readjustment be
tween the prices for the raw products-
of the farm and the finished product
of the factory.
Secretary Hoover'a letter to the gov
eraor describes the general plan of the
conference held in the interests of un
employed. It is proposed to base an

How Much Does Lubricat-
inff Oil Cost You Each Year ?
Automotive engineers say that oil of
the wrong body, failure to replace old
oil with fresh oil and neglecting to keep
oil up to the proper level cause fully 90
percent of all automobile engine repair
bills. So the real cost of lubricating oil
is determined by your repair bills.
Oil of the highest quality and cor
rect body is the truest economy. It
protects moving parts against wear and
prevents bearings burning out. It keeps
compression tight and assures maxi
mum power and mileage from every
gallon of fuel.
Polarine is the most perfect motor
oil we know of. It maintains a protect
ing oil film in the closest fitting bear
ings and a fuel-tight and gas-tight oil
seal between the piston rings and cylin
der walls.
Polarine is made in four grades light,
medium heavy, heavy and extra heavy -but
only one quality. Get the proper grade for
your car next time by referring to Polarine
chart at our Service Stations or dealers and
you will start cutting down motoring costs.
