Improved City Directory
For some time past The Herald Pub
lishing company has been making spe
cial efforts to hold in Alliance printing
that formerly was done in the eastern
part of the state or in other states. As
many of our readers are aware this
office is turning out a very much larger
quantity of job-printing. than formerly,
A large percent.of this increase of
business is due to tho tact that wc are
doing work in a very satisfactory man
ner that was formerly done elsewhere.
This work has invariably been as wejl
done, and sometimes better, than that
done by outside printing establish
ments. About .once in every two years a
Springfield, Mo,, firm publishes a di
rectory for a number of the smaller
cities of Nebraska, including Alliance.
Tho last Alliance directory which they
published, while a great convenience
to the business men using it, was not
altogether satisfactory. Having se
cured the services of Mr. Maurice
Kling, formerly of Chicago, who is
conversant with city directory work,
we decided to print this year's direct
ory iu Alliance. In so doing we are
getting up the best and most conven
ient directory that has ever been com
piled in any city in Nebraska outside
of Lincoln and Omaha; and by pub
lishing it here the money that is paid
the printers, who do the work, will be
spent with the business men who
furnish the patronage necessary to
bear the expense; and the profit, if
there is any, will be spent in our home
town.
Junior Normal Edition
Within the last few years the city of
Alliance has been making a very favor
able impression upon other parts of the
state in educational matters. This im
pression has been enlarged and deep
ened within the last few months. It is
of great importance not only to this
city but to this part of the state that
the advanced ground taken education
ally be maintained and that additional
educational facilities be .secured if pos
sible, particularly the new state normal
school-
Superintendent D. W. Hayes of the
city schools and County Superintend
ent Ora E. Phillips have just issued a
six-column folio paper announcing the
coming Junior Normal, which has been
sent to teachers and others who might
attend from this and surrounding coun
ties. No doubt quite a number of The
Herald readers will receive a copy of
this announcement but there ajc hun
dreds of our subscribers to whom it
will not be sent. Last year the Alli
ance Junior Normal took the lead of
the eight Junior Normals of the state.!
It bad the largest attendance of any
and, if we are not mistaken, incurred
to the state the smallest expense. It is
of tho highest importance that this
record bo maintained this year.
As there arc many readers of this
paper who will not receive a copy of
the Junior Normal paper above referred
to, wo have decided to make this issue
of The Herald a special Junior Normal
edition. We sincerely hope that many
of our readers who arc interested in
the cause of education will becomo
more interested in the Junior Normal
and if possiblo will attend the same
this year. The expense will not be
heavy and tho training received will bo
of incstimnblo value to the young
pcoplo who attend, whether they be
come teachers or not. Wo urge upon
parents Who can do so to scud their
sons and daughters who have passed
tho eighth grade. Tho timo so spent
cannot be occupied to better advantage.
May Day Observance
at Holy Rosary Church
Special May Day exercises of a religious
nature will take place next Sunday evening
at Holy Rosary church. As Is known, iho
month of May is especially devoted by
members of this church to pay homage to
the Blessed Virgin Mary and the conclud
ing features of such devotion is the crown
ing of .V statue of the Virgin. This Is
done in (a most beautiful manner by the
children and young people. The arrange
ment are under the direction of the Sis
ters of St. Agnes' academy, who desire
that all the children attending the acade
my and tho parents meet at the Knights of
Columbus hall next Sunday evening at
6:30 promptly where they will march In a
body to the church and be present at the
crowning exercises. Miss Marie Buech
senstein was selected by the scholars of
St. Agnes' academy to act as crown bearer
on this, occasion. A general invitation Is
extended to all to be present at the church,
t Will Take a Summer Trip. .
Mr. and Mrs. E. I. Gregg are plan
ning a most delightful summer trip.
They expect to leave Allianco June 6
with their son Robt., to be gono about
a month, and will take in the exposition
at Seattle and also visit Los Angeles,
Salt Lake City and other points
in the mountains and on the coast.
Their first stop will be Portland to take
in the celebrated annual Rose Carnival
which will be held there this year from
June 7 to 12. They expect also before
returning to go to Vancouver, Wash.,
where they will visit with Mr. and Mrs,
James W. Christy, who are well known
to many of The Herald readers. '
h TheAirdome Opening Last Night
The Crystal Airdome theatre opened last
night with a crowded house and the popu
larity of the Crystal, which several weeks
ago was curbed by the fire that destroyed
the Rumer block, broke out anew and we
believe stronger than before. The air
dome i well arranged and has a seating
capacity of Coo, The managers are to be
congratulated on the manner in which
they so quickly arranged this amusement
hall, and their efforts no doubt will be re
warded by large attendances henceforth.
Next week an especially interesting line of
vaudeville and illustrated pictures will be
presented.
Will Build Warehouse
Beal Bros, have given up their office
and store room at 204 Box Butte avenue,
and are planning to build a warehouse on
the railroad right of way on Big Horn Ave.,
near the electric light plant. The ware
house is to be completed and ready for
occupancy by September first. Mean
while Ralph will look after some farming
that he is expecting to do this summer,
while Tom will put in a part of the inter
vening time on a southern and eastern
trip.
While this will give them a lull in their
business during the. summer months it is
expected that beginning in September
they will transact a larger business in
purchasing and shipping produce, jobbing
in fruits, etc., than ever before.
A club is formed for "Raiseall Rem
edy" for little chicks' diarrhea cure and
preventive. Pay 25 cents to become a
member, get the Remedy at any time.

PROMPT PAYMENT
OF DEATH LOSS
Certificate Amount Paid into Hands
of Beneficiary Within Ten Days
After Death, Commends the Wood
men of the World to All Seeking
Protective Insurance.
Floyd E. Watson of this city met his
death in a railroad accident on May Jth,
1909. His remains were piacea at rest on
May 7th. Proofs of loss were forwarded
by the officers of Maple Camp, No. 1G3,
Woodmen of the World, the details of the
settlement completed and a check from the
Sovereign banker was in tho hands of the
local officers on the 15th, and paid over to
the beneficiary named in his policy on the
17th, ten days after the funeral date.
This prompt payment of the death loss
is. but an individual example of the meth
ods of this progressive fraternal organiza
tion. With an adequate reserve emer
gency fund (over $8,000,000.00 now) tho
matter of adjusting a loss Is not a matter
of weeks and months, and speaks volumes
for the splendid conduct of the business of
the organization which has spread its pro
tecting influence over the dependent ones
of a half-million members.
Protecting dependent ones in the event
of untimely death is commendable. To
place this protection and confidence in an
organization with the record for fairness
and promptness as evidenced- by the
Woodmen of the World is the most com
mendable act of man while in life and In
possession of health and strength.
Are your dependent ones protected? If
not, they should be and you should inves
tigate . the policy and benefits offered by
the Woodmen of the World.
