Mrs. Roy Beck with was the only lady winning eleven games, sho being rewarded for her skill with a beautiful cut glass dish. Miss Laura Nelson had ten games to her credit and was awarded the second prize, a dainty hand painted plate. Mrs. Hoskins took hef gueBts to the Burlington hotel, where a banquet had been prepared. The whole company was seated at one long table. The beautifully decorated table and the elaborate feast that was served in a faultless manner reflects great credit on Landlord and Mrs. Lockwood.

Woman's Club Meeting On Friday, Feb. 15th, the Woman's Club.of Alliance held one of the most interesting and largely attended meet ings of the year at the home of Mrs. Robert Birney. A Washington's birth day program was given after the busi ness meeting. Three very instructive papers were read by Mrs. Dr. Slagle, Mrs. Jerry Rowan and Mrs. E. J. Wil son.

Misses Vivian Holloway and Lucille Fawcett assisted Mrs. Birney in serving, thirty three plates being laid.

Petition to Stop Trains A petition is being circulated with the object of having passenger trains Nob. 35 and 36 stop at this point and for other improvements in the service at this point. The request is so reas onable and just that there can be no doubt of its being granted. Making passengers lay over in Alliance from early morning till afternoon is a very great inconvenience, besides being ex pensive, and compelling people to stay overnight there and lose the better part of two days when perhaps a few hours would enable them to transact their business, is ridiculous. All very tine for Alliance, but there are other peb bles on the beach that merit considera tion. Hemingford Journal. lust bring your petition down here, Bro. Clark, and you will get more signatures to it than at Hemingford. Nothing small about Alliance; and be sides poor train service at neighboring towns is no advantage to this city.

Short Horn Bulls for Sale I have been in the stock business for a good many years in this country. Therefore when I selected my Short Horn cattle three years ago from sev eral eastern states, I selected them with this end in view to give satisfaction to the ranchers. In the care of my stock, from the start. I have worked for this end. The head of my herd was sired by the animal that took second place at the St. Louis World's Fair as a senior calf. All the shelter that my cattle are accustomed to is an open shed in time of storm. They have had no grain, but plenty of good prairie hay. I have some young bulls for sale, raised under these conditions. I narnestlv solicit the correspondence of anyone interested in first class hardy Short Horn cattle. James B.
