" The mighty nimrod are off."
Wm. Mounts, Hoy liuckwith, .Midge
Merry and Fred Moisten left Sunday
afternoon for the bass lakes in the
vicinity of Woodlake. east of V'alen
tine, driving to Kushville by auto,
then taking the Northwestern the
remainder of the trip.
It would be hard to select a ciuar
tet of better fishermen than the
one mentioned above and there are
no better bass lakes in the state
than those nt Woodlake, so be pre
pared for some unusual fish stories
on their return.
JuBt reii'd the following in this
noons (Wednesday) mail: "Doc'
Copeland, Sporting Kditor, Alliance
Herald. Woodlake. Nebraska, till
'13. Well, we are here and will
start for lakes in a few minutes.
Beck with has worked up a high fev
er. We got to bed at 12 last night
but he was up and walking around
about 4 this morning. Moisten i s

Johnny King is working along fine
deteating W ichlta in the second
game f a double header Sunday, to
a 3 to 4 score. Thi makes him I!
won and 1 lost, and topping the
batting average In the western
league. I guess lie will make good
don't you.
Ray Bohner has quit the state
league and is attending a dental col
lege in South Dakota and playing in
dependent ball.
The undefeated Anlinore team of
South Dakota will be seen in nc-
tion at driving park Sunday after
noon with t he undefeated Alliance
cubs. This will be a good fast game
Ardrnore has been playing ball with
the teams in the hills and the Cubs
have the best battery of any team in
the northwest, and with "Budd"
Darnell on the firing line will be a
guarantee of a good game. Budd Is
pitching better than ever. Go out
and see a good pitcher's battle.
Following is the lineup.

Leach Cross is on hi way to
Los Angeles, where he is billed to
meet "Bud" Anderson in a twenty
round go July 4th. Cross has been
fighting in top notch class of late
and Is one of the best in the light
weight class, but in meeting Ander
son he meets a fighter who is cap
able of dealing out severe punish
ment in 20 rounds. I do not believe
CrOM will be able to travel the dis
tance. Ad Wolgast, who was billed to
ui et Johnny Dundee 00 the 10th,
whidi was called off owing to an
injury to his hand is contemplating
a three months trip to the Hawai
ian Islands as a recuperating vaca
tion. Would you be surprised to see
Boss Mull in the box scores in the
state league in the near future? Me
is getting the fever and working out
daily and states that he has more
-than ever with smoke to burn. At
present he has seveial offers to
uitch on July 4th.
Champion W illie Kite hie and Joe
Rivers anr matched to fight for the
light weight chaniplotislilp at Frisco
July 4th for 20 rounds. Matchmaker
Eddie (iranere has experienced a
great deal of trouble getting these
two together on the weight ques
tion, finally signing to we'ghin at
134 ringside. This is the best that
could bj arranged for a July 4th
date and Rivers is the toughest
strapper that Mgr. Nolan could get
lor Champion Richie, out Nolan is
foxy and knows all angle of the
game.

Saturday Flag Day
Saturday, June Mth. has been
designated by Coventor Morchead
as Nebraska Flag Day for this
year. I ne Herald wishes to urge
upon Alliance business men and
other readers to observe the day,
as requested In the governor'a pro
clamation, which rends aa follows.
In compliance with a custom of
such long standing that it has
come to be regarded us the law
of the land, I hereby di signate Sat.
Juno 14, Lilt, an Flag Day.
That while enjoying the blessings
of liberty so beautifully typified by
the Stars and Stripes we may not
forget the sacrifices made to main
tain that emblem, I recommend
that, as far as possible, the day be
devoted to such exercises as tend
to develop a love of country and
pride In our national emblem. On
that day It will have waved as tin
emblem of our sovereignty for one
hundred and thirty-six yeBrw; the
pride anil glory of Anierlcnn citizen
ship and the hope and Inspiration of
the hiimblr and oppressed of other
lands
I earnestly request that the peo
ple of N braska on June 14, 191.1,
display the national colors on all
state, municipal and school buildings.
Given under my hand and the
great seal of the state this !Mh day
of June, LIU.

Who's the pessimist who has been
saying that tlmea were hard and
getting worse? Don't you believe It
for a mmute. Any financial deprea
alona are only local and temporary
at that. Why. look here, the Mald
wln Locomotive Works from Janu
ary 1 to May t. 19IJ, sold flfiWO,
000 worth or new locomotivea to rail
roads, an unprecedented record. If
business was getting alow why would
the railroads be placing big order,
like thla for new equipment? The
Charlea Warner Company, big man
ufacturer, of lime and cement for
builders, broke all previous aalea
n i orda for the first four months of
the year. If dull tlmea are coming,
why are people spending millions of
dollars for new buildings like thla?
Oscar K. Dyle, the financial expert,
who has just completed a six weeks'
tour of the Important winter wheat
statea for the big financial house of
8. U. Chapin & Co., eaya an un
uiually heavy crop la indicated at
this time. He places the probable
yield at 475.000.000 bushels, and says
It may potsibly be largrr. The tc
al crop last year was i.W.U 19,000
bushels and In 1911 It was 4J0.656,

hard times.
