Inspector O. A. Gregory visited the
Normal last week in behalf of the
State Department of Education. He
came to us from Chadron, Nebr.,
where he had visited the State Nor
mal which opened on the same date
as the Junior Normal here. The
enrollment at Chadron at that time
was about seventy.
The dining hall, under the effi
cient management of Miss Susie R.
Frazier, was opened the Saturday
preceeding the opening of the Nor
mal, and the service has been very
satisfactory to those who board there,
which includes practically the entire
force of out of town teachers and in
structors.
A marked interest is shown in
athletics, a tennis club and teams in
basket ball and indoor base ball hav
ing been organized. The tennis
courts have been rolled and scraped
until there are none better in the
state, while the splendid gymnasium
of the High school building affords
a fine place for basket ball and in
door base ball.
In the indoor base ball, Mr. Dlx
proves to be a heavy hitter, while
Supt. Pate is the chief rooter.
The Herald did not secure the
notes for this department in time to
publish a large number this week,
but can safely promise a good quota
each week hereafter during the pres
ent session.

Never has it been easier to

is plentiful and is seeking le

is no enterprise more worthy
than home-building. It opens
the purse strings of the banker
quicker than anything else,
because it means that you
have decided to become a part
of the community in which you
live. Thus almost before you

ST. AGNES ACADEMY GRADUATION
Closing Exercises of a Year's Successful School Work
The charity toward poor suffering
humanity shown by the generosity of
Alliance citizens on June 18, 1910, or
Tag Day for the hospital, has caused
Rev. Fr. MeNamara and those in
charge of the hospital to decide to
have an annual Tag day about the
middle of June. The ladies who so
kindly rendered their services in mak
ing a success of the day last year
will be in charge of the affair this
year.
II acta charitable work was done at
the hospital during the past year, but
in order to do this to the extent we
desire and make a success of the
work here, it is necessary to have
the assistance of generous benefact
ors outside of our patronage in cases
of illness. This charitable assitance
will be tendered to all who apply, re
gardless of creed or color. Trusting
to the charity of those who believe
in the words of Christ; "What you
do to the least of my brethern you
do unto me," and also "A cup of
cold water given In my name will
not go unrewarded," we expect Tag
Day, June 17, 1911, to be a great
success.
A successful year's school work Is
drawing to a cloBe at St. Agnes A
cademy. The rapid increase in the
attendance made necessary the erec
tion of the large addition to the
original building, as shown In the ac-
ompanying cut, which however does
not do the complete building justice,
as the photograph from which the
cut was made was taken from an an
gle that showed the original building
well but not the new part.
Next week will be Commencement
Week at the Academy. The Bac
calaureate sermon will be delivered
by Very Rev. W. L. MeNamara at
the Academy chapel on Sunday, June
'Hth at 7:30 P. M.
On Monday, June 19th, the Eighth
Grade graduating exercises will take
place at the Phelan Opera House.
Admission 25 cents. Tickets will be
on sale at Holsten'B.

RETURN FROM
SOUTHEASTERN TRIP
Mr. and Mrs. A. D. Rodgers re
turned Sunday from their visit In
Iowa and Missouri. They had a
pleasant trip but found the heat al
most unendurable in the low alti
tude to which they have not been
accustomed In recent yeara. Espec
ially are the hot, sultry nights un
comfortable for persons from this
part of the west. Even in Iowa and
Missouri they are having an unusu
ally dry season. Fall wheat and
corn are looking fine but oats are
almost a failure.
NAME OF HOSPITAL CHANGED
The name of Mercy Hospital has
been changed to St. Joseph's Hos
pital, but the name in the telephone
directory will remain Mercy Hospital
until the next Issue of the directory.
