How did you close your book?
Resolve for the New Year. Limit
your spending and save th'e balance.
That is a better way to get a financial
start than to limit your saving and
spend the balance.
With capital reserve funds
you are ready for business opportun
ities, which will surely come to you.
Remember, it is not your sav
ing alone that will make you independent.-
Your' money must be in
a safe place and must work for you.

The Troxelle Quartette
The Lyceum Entertainment Bureau
kept up its reputation for high class
entertainments when it presented to
the public the Troxelle male quartette
last Tuesday evening; The musical
numbers were interspersed with read
ings and chalk talks by members of
the quartette. The evening's program
was well received, especially by the
juvenile members of the audience of
which there were many, the Baptist
Sunday school attending en masse.
The next and concluding entertain
ment to be given by the Lyceum bur
eau will be the Georgian Jubilee Sing
ers, which is to be presented Feb. 2.
Mr. and Mrs. Robert Birney Entertain
One of those pleasant days that make
life worth living and that will long be
remembered as one full of happiness
and good cheer was Christmas day in
the Birney home. With true hospital
ity they shared their pleasure with a
number of friends. At 7.30 a. in. the
parlor doors were opened and Mrs. Bir.
ney surprised the whole company with
a beautiful candle lighted Christmas
tree. Beautiful hardly describes the
colored candles, gold and silver decora
tions and the many and lovely presents
for each one.
At one thirty p. m. a very elaborate
three course dinner was served. A
mong other good things were: oyster
soup, olives, mixed pickles, celery, nut
salad, lettuce, beet pickles, sliced to
matoes; roast young turkey, sagedresf
iug, cranberry sauce; baked sweet po
tatoes, mashed potatoes, cold slaw; nut
cake, chocolate cake, pine apple souf
flea, pumpkin pie, stuffed d'ates, figs,
oranges, apples, green grapes, mixed
nuts, candies and black coffee.
At 7530 p. in. the candles were again
lighted and a delightful hour was spent
in the candle light talking of childhood
days and other happy Christmas times.
Those who were fortuiiate enough to
be present were: Mr. and Mrs. U. N.
Hoskins, Mrs. II. C. Holloway, Miss
Vivian Holloway, Mrs. L. Fossett,
and Miss Loretta Fossett.
Branched Out
Some of our exchanges are somewhat
inaccurate in their mention of the pur
chase of the First National Bank of Scotts-
bluff by Messrs. S. K. Warrick and C.
12. Ford. The following from tho Mina
tare Free Press of Dec. 24th isa pproxi
matcly correct, exceptthat Mr. Warrick
is cashier of the First National of Alli
ance and the First National of Scottsblud,
and president of the Minatare bank:
Mr. S. K. Warrick, who is president of
the Minatare bank, but lives at Alliance,
was a visitor at the Free Press office
Thursday morning. He has been over to
Scottsbluff where he and Chas. Ford, of
Chicago, acquired a controling interest in
the First National Bank of Scottsbluff,
having purchased the stock formerly
owned by S. H. Burnham and Geo. W.
King and a portion of the Bowen Stock.
Mr. Warrick is president of a line of
banks that he and Mr. Ford own along the
Burlington road from Ravenna to Alliance;
and step by step they are extending their
banking system up the Platte Valley,
wherever a promising town is available.
Returns from Western Trip.
T.J. O'Keeffe arrived Tuesday on his
return from his two months' western
trip, having visited Idaho, Oregon. Salt
Lake, Los Angeles, and other points.
While away he met a number of former
Box Butteites. At Weiser, Idaho, he
saw Dr. Allen, the dentist, who is now
engaged in a lucrative grocery business,
instead of drawing and filling teeth.
He also saw S. B. Libby who has a
farm near the town. Also, he had a
talk over (tho telephone with Mr.
Record, formerly a banker at Hyannis,
and Mrs. Dorrington, formerly of Al
liance. At Boise he met Ira Reed, who
is well pleased with his new home in
the west.
Tom is not much given to lurid de
scriptions of places he has visited, being
quite conservative in speaking of the
same, and advising people before in
vesting anywhere o investigate foe
themselves. However, ho says that
Idaho is a good country and develop
ing rapidly.
Bottling Works to be Enlarged '
The Golden Rod Bottling Works are
preparing to increase their already large
business with the opening of the spring
trade. They have leased the Reck build
ing, north of the electric light plant, now
owned by C. A. Anderson, and will move
Into it about the middle of April, probably
a little sooner. This gives them more
room than what they have in their present
location. They have ordered about a
thousand more cases and are otherwise
preparing to increase their output.
To Our Many Friends.
We, the Swastika club, wish to thank
our' many friends who patronized tho
Xnias hop, which proved to be a great
success5 and wc think that the greatest
part of our success was due to the fine
music which was rendered by the A. L.
Joy orchestra. This music was the
best that could be had in this part of
the state and proved its success.
Big Sale of Hay.
Geo. Richardson, one of T he Herald's

Messrs. Stevens of Denver and Stukey of
Hyannis, the price paid being 84.00 per
