Alliance Represented at
Rexall Convention
Mr. nnd Mrs. P. E. Holsten
who loft Alliance Sept. 24th on
an eastern trip are expected
home tomorrow or Saturday.
They went first to Boston to at
tend the great Rexall convention.
After spending three days in
the "Hub", they went to New
York for a visit with friends.
In returning they came via Chica
go, where Mr. Holsten will order
a lot of goods from the whole
Hale houses. They will also stop
in Omaha.
Word from them brings the
information that the banquet at
the close of the convention last
Thursday night was one of the
most magnificent ever given in
United States. We have a print
ed description, winch is too long
for publication in this issue of
The Herald and it is impossible
to do it justice by a mere extract
from it. Of the 4,000 druggists
who are stockholders in the
United Drug company and sell
the Rexall remedies, 1.H00 were
present at the convention and
banquet, and, also, 000 ladies,
members of their families.
Tuesday afternoon while the
inen were attending the business
session the ladies were treated
to a motor trip. Over a hundred
automobiles had been engaged
and a trip planned that gave the
ladies a splendid idea of the
many historical places in and
around Boston. At 1 o'clock
Thursday afternoon the ladies
gathered at- the United Drug
company laboratories, where a
buffet luncheon was served, aft
er which an inspection of the
laboratories was made. This
proved very interesting, for an
exhibition of how various articles
that have made the name Rexall
famous are manufactured was
demonstrated by the experts.
The visitors got some idea of the
immense plant occupied by their
company, which covers six acre
of floor space and gives employ
ment to about 1,000 people. A
visit was also made to the plant
where chocolates are made, and
it was seen that everything per
taining to sanitary conditions
was in evidence in turning out
the high grade Liggett and Pen
way confections. This plant em
ploys several hundred people,
too.
The keynote of the business
sessions was the advancement
of tiie sale of pure drugs and the
prevention of the sale of noxious
preparations, so that purchasers
might be certain that they were
getting the best drugs obtainable
at the lowest possible price, al
lowing a fair margin of profit to
the dealer. The newer stock
holders learned from their talks
with the older ones how valuable
the co-operative idea has been
because it eliminated the middle
man; how during the past eight
years business has increased
largely because the purchasers
had. confidence in Rexall reme
dies, and this allowed the com
pany the largest organization
of its kind in the world to buy
its drugs in such wholesale quan
tities as to permit a great saving,
with the natural result that the
quality was bound to be excel
lent. In connection with the above
it is proper to remind our read
ers Holsten's drug store is the
"Rexall" store of Alliance. '

necessary for M. O. Joder and family

certainly be good news to their many
friends here who will much prefer to
see them remain in this city.

"There are two kinds of people on earth,
I mean
The people who lift and the people who lean;
And wherever you go you will find the
world's masses
Are always divided in just these twoclasscs,
And oddly enough, you'll find, too, I ween
There's just one lifter to twenty who lean.
In which class are you? Are you easing
the load
Of overtaxed lifters who toil down the road?
Or are you a leaner who lets others bear
Your portion of labor and worry and care?
Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
The Crisis Club has about $75 on
hand from the play given last year and
decided to use $50 of it to assist in the
purchase of apparatus for the gymna
sium and 25 for apparatus in the
laboratory. The Athletic Association
also voted $ 25 toward the purchase of
apparatus for the gymnasium. To the
amount received from the two sources
for the gymnasium the Board of Edu
cation added about $40- This gives
us $115. including freight chaiges, to
invest in apparatus for the gymna-.
sium. The additional material to be
purchased will be welcomed by the
student;,
The new couises, which have been
added to the course of study this year,
are Manual Training and Domestic
Science. These courses are offered
on the 7th grade, Sth grade anl high
school. Manual Training iu the 7th
grade consists of bench work for the
boys and sewing for the girls. In the
8th grade the girls take sewing and in
the high school a course in cookery is
offered. About 40 girls have enrolled
in the class in cookery. The 7th
grade work is given at the Centra!
building from 9:25 to 10:05 each morn
ing except Friday and from 1:50 to
2:30 each afternoon. The Sth grade
and high school v.ork is given at the
high school building from 10:35 to
12:00 each morning of the week and
from 2:40 to 4:00 on Monday, Wed
nesday and Thursday afternoons and
from 3:15 to 4:00 on Friday afternoon.
As these courses are new, we should
be elad to have the townspeople visit
the classes and observe the work being
done.
An attempt is being made to arrange
for the publication of the "Spud" this
year but the committee, which has iu
charge the securing of advei Using,
does not leport very favorably. The
amount of advertising pledged and the
subscription list will not bring in
enough money to pay the expenses of
issuing the publication. We have no
other source of income and unless
other ads can be secured there seems
to be no course open but to discontinue
the publication of the "Spud-" The
pupils of the high school will feel the
disappointment keenly if such a course
should be taken. If thete are business
men who have not pledged an ad but
GROUP OF SHOW GIRLS itSt

who wish to do so. they should phone
Prin. Williams at once.

The strenuous Teddy, as usual,
had all the west hypnotized on
his swing around the circle
among the lariat-throwers in
August. The Poor-Richardism
about an ill wind holds good in
Teddy's case, for, while the tub
erculosis doctors may be dread
ing the Roosevelt craze, the
dentists are grinning, and the
chiropadists and manicurists are
posting up on obstetrics. Great
is the age of hero-worship.
