Idle Capital is
An Extravagance
no community can afford; to be
anyone a benefit it must be kept
moving and to do the most good
it should seek legitimate chan
nels. Then let us divorce our
selves from the prevailing "get
rich quick" fever and get back
to the good ways of our fore
fathers. Put your money into
somethingathome, where it will
HELP YOUR HOME TOWN and en
hance the other interests you
may have. Why not build a
home? There's no satisfaction
like that born of the knowledge
you own a home. Start it today
and tomorrow you'll awaken
with a feeling of independence
like that of 1776. Of course
you'll need lumber, but we can
quickly help you out, as our
stork is complete and all
orders can be filled the day we
get them.

splendid prospects of a bumper fruit

Rev. Frnnklin McNeill, pastor
of the Baptist church, offered
the invocation. Father McNa
mara, pastor of Holy Rosary
Catholic church, read the Scrip
tare and made a short hut ap
propriate address. The band
played "The Red, White and
Blue," following which E. G.
Laing, commander of the Span
ish War Veteraris, appeared on
the stage accompanied by Quar
termaster .7. J. Riordan bearing
the colors of the post, and called
for a salutation of the colors.
Mrs. F. L. Parsons sang "Bar
bara Frietchie," assisted by a
reading by Mrs. E. G. Laing,
preceding the solo. A most
beautiful tableau was presented
by Miss Edna Donovan repre
senting the Goddess of Liberty,
Paul Campbell a soldier, Harold
Burke a sailor, and Miss Helen
Hewitt speaker, these four as
sisted by a number of boys and
girls singing.
Hon. John B. Strasburger was
introduced as the speaker of the
day, and delivered an address
that won for him numerous com
pliments. Mr. Strasburger is a
fluent speaker, he has a fund of
information that serves him well
in the preparation of an address
for an occasion of this kind, and
he has the happy faculty of
making his remarks timely with
out resorting to the hackneyed
phrases. So favorable an im
pression did his speech make
that he will no doubt have more
invitations to speak before Al
liance audiences.
At the close of the exercises
at the opera house Marshal
Calder formed the procession of
teams and autos in line, which
extended over a mile in length,
and thus Greenwood cemetery
was reached at 4:30 p. m. On
the road to the cemetery the
procession went out of its way
to pay a tribute to Mr. James E.
Benedict, a brave survivor of the
78th Indiana regiment, who is
confined to his home by illness.
The band played patriotic airs
in front of his home, the firing
squad presented arms and sa
luted, while his old comrades
greeted him with smiles and
cheers.
At the cemetery the graves
of the thirty-tWO veterans rest
ing there were strewn with
flowers, the band playing
"Nearer my God to Thee" and
similar airs. Rev. W. F. Mc
Neill spoke some kindly words,
a chorus of pretty school girls
dressed in white sang a selection
dear to the hearts of the old
soldiers, the firing squad deliv
ered three volleys over the
graves in the G. A. R. lot, Rev.
Jas. B. Brown offered a final
prayer, Bugler Bert Laing
sounded "taps" on the battered
bugle which he carried in far-off
Luzon, and the most appropriate
and elaborate observance of
Memorial day ever held in Al
liance was brought to a close.

RIORDAN-HAGGERTY NUPTIALS
DEPARTS THI8 LIFE AT AGE OF
NINETY YEARS
Last Saturday M. Vaughn received
a telegram from O'Neill, Nebr., con
veying the sad intelligence of the
death of his mother, who departed
this life at the age of ninety years.
She had been ill for four years, and
her demise was not unexpected. A
son and two daughters survive her,
M. Vaughn o Alliance, Mrs. Hughes
of O'Neill, and Mrs. Campbell of Mr
Cnok. The first two were present at
the funeral, which was held at the
Catholic church in O'Neill; the lat
ter could not be present.
And thus another leaves this world
at a ripe old age for a better shore,
one whose life was a blessing to
those about her because of her up
right life and kindly deeds. She will
be greatly missed and not forgotten
by the generation who knew her.
