Come to everybody. Life has
more ups than downs. Right now,
while you are making, you ought
to be saving; then when the downs
come you will have something to
fall back upon.
Where is the money you have
been earning all these years? You
spent it and somebody else put it
in the bank. Why don't you put
your own money in the bank for
yourself why let the other fellow
save what you earn?

Closing of Alliance
State Junior Normal
The closing chapel exercises of the
Alliance Junior Normal of igog were
held at the usual hour on Tuesday
morning, many visitors being present
After singing and devotional exercises
conducted by Rev. Vallow, a violin
duet wqs played by Masters Freddie
Funk and Paul Thomas. A hearty
encore brought 'forth a selection, The
March of the Brownies, by the entire
Juvenile Orchestra. This was followed
by another encore, the orchestra then
playing an overture, "On the Farm,"
which was very appropriate as it was
followed by an address by Prof. Hunt,
who is conducting the experimental
agricultural work here. The professor
is an old-time pedagogue and spoke
of the aim of the teacher not being so
much to reach perfection in memoriz
ing the multiplication table ns to ac
quire "manliness and womanliness"
among her pupils.
Chancellor Avery, of the Nebraska
State university then addressed the
students, bis subject being, "Observa
tions on the German School." This
address was full of interest, the chan
cellor showing that while the Germans
might criticize American education as
being "lots of it, but not very deep,"
that in the German institutions there
was a great loss, the slower pupils be
ing sacrificed for those of quicker and
brighter intellects.
The students felt they were highly
favored by being privileged to listen to
these addresses, and will no doubt re
member Prof. Hunt's words of en
couragement in their "dark" hours,
and find food for thought during their
hours of meditation from Chancellor
Avery's edifying talk.
The work done by the Junior Normal
this season has been very satisfactory
to those in charge and to the patrons,
and the attendance has been encour
aging in a high degree. The enroll
ment was from 50 to 100 larger than
the other Junior Normals of the state
this year, and it exceeds the enroll
ment of the last one at least fifteen and
possibly as many as twenty-five.
The graduating exercises will be
held this evening at the Opera House.
A most-interesting program which we
publish in another column, will be
rendered.
Another Not Needed
In regard to the report that there is
prospect of another bank being opened
in Alliance soon, The Herald rises to
remark that there is just about as much
need of a third bank in this city at the
present time as there is of five wheels
on a lumber wagon. There are two
strong banking institutions here that
are giving general satisfaction. Not
only are they giving general satisfac
tion, but so far as we know there is
absolutely no complaint of the service
they render, and there is no demand
for another.
Of course, we are simply telling how
it looks to us. We have not consulted
bankers or other financiers in regard to
the matter.
The editor, upon taking charge of
this paper last winter, took the posi
tion that to multiply business houses
unnecessarily was a detriment rather
than a benefit to the city. When any
particular line of business is not ade
quately represented then an effort
should be made to secure a proper
representation in that line; but it is
better to increase the amount of busi
ness by developing the country in the
patronizing territory and bringing in
factories that will increase the number
of persons or firms that transact the
city's busiuess. When there is busi
ness to transact, men and firms to
transact that business will naturally
come in fast enough, and sometimes
too fast.
Local Sportsmen Got Busy
The following interesting local
news item was handed in last press
day, but too late for publication:
A week ago Sandy Griswold, in his
interesting column in the Omaha
World-Herald, came out with the in
formation that the time for the plover
was at hand, and when plover is men
tioned snipe, jack-snipe and other of
tho marsh fowls naturally comes in for
consideration
It developed that a group of local
sports betook themselves to tho "murky
glade beside tho splashing brink" and
tbey succeeded in bagging a nico bunch
and in their reports they succeeded in
arousing the interest of other sports
some genuine, some would-be and
the more tho talk ran tho more the in
terest that waB aroused.
Then it was that the opportunity for
a littlo of the out-of-thc-ordinary sport
suggested itself, and several got their
heads together and planned for a big
"snipe-drivo" and cloven left tho busy
streets of tho city aboard a dray wagon
at about dusk last evening, and after
reaching the shores of Broncho lako
some preliminary skirmishing was done
which of course drovo tho game into
tho hills adjoining, Then the men
scattered over the hills and quietly re
turned to the dray, while three with
tho victim stealthily crept to an arm of
tho lake farthest from town and setting
the gills to tho nets and placing the
victim with the sack in a correct atti
tude to make tho greatest catch possi
ble when the snipe came in from the
drive, the three left with the presumed
purpose of joining tho remainder in
driving the game from tho hillsides.
After an hour's pailcy at the wagon
in which lots of jokes were cracked
and in which everyone apparently had
a hand, it was voted that the jokers
return to town, and it has been learned
that the victim took a tumble shortly
before the moon set and setting out on
foot covered tho distance before the
midnight hour-
The boys have signified their willing
ness to call the job "squared" for a cer
tain small consideration, but at this
time the victim has not yet committed
himself. It is certain that the event
at least gave each member of tho party
two hours of the most amusing sport
besides a very pleasant drive in tho
cool of tho evening in a dray wagon,
and are not willing to compel any
further contributions on the part of
the victim.
Short Vacation
'"Mtfl
for Busy People
For very busy people people who
cannot spare the time to take an ex
tended vacation tho Butto Chautau
qua at Crawford probably offers the
best opportunity of the season for rest
and recreation. Tents can be rented,
erected ready for use, by writing to D.
Webster Davis, manager. As this is
to be a three days' Chautauqua, you
can take in the whole of it, if you wish
to do so, without losing much time
from your work or business.
A folder giving full information can
be secured by writing to the manager
or calling at The Herald office- Those
who wish to purchase season tickets
can be accommodated by Harold
Thomas at this office, who has under
taken to handle the same as an ac
commodation to the Chautauqua man
agement and the people of this place
who may wish to secure the same.
Live Business Men's
Good Advertisement
One of the best advertisements that
has ever been printed in behalf of
western Nebraska has just been issued
from The Herald's job printing de
partment for the United States Land
Co., whose home office is at 135 N.
nth St., Lincoln. It is a folder giving
a description of Box Butte county, il
lustrated by photographic views of
country and city scenes. The gentle
men composing this company are live
ones, aud wc are pleased to note that
they arc doing an extensive business.
W. H. Harding of this firm was in
Alliance last week transacting business
in connection with their local repre
sentative, E. T. Kibble, and favored
The Herald office with a call which wo
appreciate, as we are always pleased to
meet people who are interested in the
development of this country.
Six for Five equals oue for nothing
at Bogue's, Saturday.
Dr. Allison of Omaha will be at the
Alliance hospital Wednesday morning,
August 4th.
