J. J. Vance, contractor and builder,
has just received a new cement block
machine, "The Leader," direct from
the factory at Jackson, Michigan. The
use of cement blocks in constructing
dwellings and other buildings, and for
foundation work, has become very pop
ular within the last few years, espe
cially since the art of making these
blocks has been so perfected as to
make the use of them exceedingly de
sirable. Mr. Vance begins operations
Miss Bertha Kulper was the winner

A DiRT-y Problem.
Mr. moderate drinker, while you arc
stirring the sugar in that glass oft oddy,
let me prescribe a chaser to take with
it, to-wit: One acre of land contains
43,560 square feet. At $43.56 per acre,
it is worth just one mill per square foot.
So every time you exercise your "per
sonal liberty" by pouring down your
throat a 15 cent dose of firey Guggcn
heimer, Bushmills, Old Crow, or any
other rot gut, vou are swallowing a 150
foot strawberry patch. Invite four of
your friends to join you in a social nip
and a 750 foot garden patch disappears.
Go on a prolonged' spree and see how
long it takes you to lick up a cow pas
ture. Yes, I know that you live in a
"Christain Home," and beliv in
''home rule-" That you IipHpvb in
moderation in all thine, ami take but
three drinks a dav. u, thus limiting
your appetite tu booze, you dispose of
only 450 square feet of land per day,
3150 square feet per week, or 164,250
square feet per year. Owing to your
extreme moderation, you have only
guzzled a few thousand feet over 37K
acres of good rich productive land,
worth $43.56 per acre, in the past ten
years. Did I say anything about a fool?
No, I was only thinking of a moderate
drinker. But if your real estate deals
don't make you stagger a little, just
take your pencil and figure out what a
real booze fighter could accomplish in
the same length of time.

Denver Guests Honored.
Last week one of our local scribes wrote
a news item, under above heading, about
a party given by Mesdames Roy Beckwith
and Jerry Rowan in honor of Mrs. Holi
day and Miss McDaniels of Denver. By
a typographical error, the word "Denver',
in the heading went through as "Dinner,"
giving a diflerent meaning from what was
intended. .
Queen Esther, April! 9-20
One of the greatest musical tieats
that Alliance has ever been favored
with is billed for April 19 and 20. As
previously mentioned in the Herald,
Prof. Bixler arrived in Alliance last
week and at once began work in pre-11
paration for putting on the oratorio,
"Esther, The Beautiful Queen," which
will be given in the opera house on the
dates above mentioned.
There will be a grand chorus of 100
voices, assisted by a class of beautiful
singing children, all in gorgeous cos
tumes, representing Jews and Persians
in ancient times. This cantata has
been sung more in America than all
other cantatas ever written, and a
bounds in the most charming music. It
Was thought that the desire to hear
this great oratorio is sufficient to justi
fy the management in producing it two
nights in succession, and judging from
expressions of interest which we hear,
we believe there will be a large attend
ance both evenings-Announcement.
