Lloyd C. Thomas reported for the joint meeting with the Hemingford chamber of commerce. J. S. Rhein told of the agreement made with Hall Ac Graham which settles the remaining obstacle to the North Star highway. Quartet Makes a Hit. The meeting started oft" in fine shape with three number by a quartet com posed of Edward Dingey, II. D. Shel lenlergcr, J. B. Irwin and A. J. Welch. The numbers included "Genevieve," the "lice and the Tup" and a melodious and humorous numler on the polecat. B. S. Smith of Lincoln, state agent for the Security Fire Insurance com pany of Connecticut, made a few re marks and told some excellent stories. He discussed the prevailing crime wave, and ottered his plan to relieve the public of the burden of paying 4o:-ts of prosecution. Under the pres ent system, he said, law enforcement is rer-po'.isible for a large slice of the taxes that are paid, and lie believed thiit some plan could be worked out when' by the evpen.-e of convicting and keping prisoners could le charged up to ine men who violate the law. He advocated putting prisoners at work, paying them a two-third salary for road work and other essential occupa tions, and collecting from this sum suifivient money to leimburse the pub lic for the expense of capturing and convicting them, as well as making the jri.-oner pay for his keep while in carcerated. Mr. inith pointed out another good effect that would follow the introduc tion of t.uch a system. . A prisoner could be kept at work, he said, not only until he had paid all claims i . ainst him and squared the account, but until he had accumulated a little ivi.t-Kg. Then, on release from .ri.-on, he would not have difficulty t-u;poting himself until he found a joii! and would not have the great temptation to go into a life of crime jitriuanently. ALLIANCE MEN ARE ENTER TAINED AT ITEMING FORD (Continued from Page 1) this city and that the business men of any town or city "ought to get their feet under the table and meet each other." City Manager Kemmish of Alliance told of a recent meeting at I-exington, Neb., which was participated in by rep resentatives from surrounding towns, The interests of Alliance and Heming- ford are in common, he said. He sug- tested monthly luncheons for the tiemmirford chamber. "Box Butte county people did not realize what we have here," he said, referring to the p-rricultural Dossibilitiesu "First came the pioneers and homesteaders; then the fiockmen; ant now we nave reai dirt farmers. This county could sup port 2,000 more families." Mr. Kem mish also stated that every individual and community has so much energy and if that energy is placed back of a definite upbuilding program it will get something done. Friendly Relations County Attorney Lee Basye stated that a chamber of commerce is neces sary to any community. The chamber of commerce, said he, offers opportuni ties for friendly relations between other communities and its own com munity. He suggested weekly meet ings as the best way in which to keep up interest. He stated that opportun ity and faith go together and that the leople have faith in Hemingford. He mentioned the I'otash highway and other highways and told of the need of the I'otash highway in particular. He also stated that highways which benefit the tourist also benefit the farmer and vice versa. L. G. Nelf, chairman of the Good Roads committee of the Hemingford chandier, told of the aims of their committee ami of the desire of llem ingi'oid for roads to the west to the county line and north and east.

C. A. Newberry of Alliance, in a short but direct to the point speech, stated that the people of Box Butte county do not realize what they have before them or their opportunity in the potato business. He told of the large acreagof small grain and stated that only one-tenth of that land if planted in potatoes would make more money for the grower. "Our potatoes in Box Butte county," said Mr. Newberry, over a period of twenty years, have averaged not less than 05 bushels per acre. The average price receive! has been for the same period not less than bOc per bushel, or an average income per acre is $32.f0. Sixteen bush els per acre during the past 20 years would be a good average for our wheat ami $1.00 per bushel would be a good average price making the average in come from wheat only $16.00 per acre against the $32.50 received from pota toes, with the expense on potatoes not more than one-half of the wheat." He stated that our organization should boost the potato business more than we have. "In addition to the markets for seed in Mexico and the south we have plenty of markets in the I'latte valley irrigated districts and in the Colorado irrigated districts," said Mr. Newberry. But, he emphasized, po tatoes should not be the only crops. He recommended also cows and hogs to make Box Butte county a properous region. r E. C.

Woods told of the rais ing of wheat in the wheat belt of Kan sas, his home country, and referred to the point made by Mr. Newberry in regard to the better profits on po tatoes. He emphasized the importance of cows, chicken, hogs and corn and rotation of crops with potatoes. "Al liance," said Mr. Wood, "is proud of its chamber of commerce and the work it is doing." M. W. Buckley said that the com munity represents its people and how they think, emphasizing that the town which is progressive, with modern im provements and with live business or ganizations, represents the spirit of its people. George Wiltsey of Hemingford em phasized the nefd of good roads and urged that all efforts le exerted in that direction inasmuch as possible, lie mentioned the I'otash highway and its importance and thanked the people of Alliance for their interest t-hown bv attending in a body.

S. J. EPLER, Minister. BAPTIST CHURCH. This has been a good week for the church, both as to the Bible school and regular services. At the conclu sion of the evening service a special Mother's day offering was taken, and by the vote "of all present the money will lie used to redecorate the inside of the church building. This is badly needed. We realized a handsome sum from this offering. The men's class had a nevf scholar this week, and an effort to double the present membership will be made. The women's class continue to outnumber us, however, this cannot go on in definitely. Two of our member teachers' will soon leave us by taking unto themselves husbands and moving away. Mrs. A. Larkin will take the place of one and Mrs. Helpbringer the place of the other. Thus the corps of workers keeps up fine.
