Gillespie, the representa tive for the White Company, who recently sold a White roadster to Wm. Kin of Alliance, was In the city today. In an Interview with a Herald reporter he said, "I am very anxious to aee a White fire truck purchased by the city for the Alll nnce Fire Department. The White Company makes more trucks than any other company in the United SttUes. The U. S. government has 100 trucks in use by the war and other departments. The Standard Oil Company uses 119 White trucks; the war department of the Russian government uses 11 and the war de partments of many other European powers use White trucks, and it is a well known fart that the great powers of the world never spare time or expense when choosing equip ment for their war departments. "The main object in a flre truck," Mr. Gillespie continued, "Is to get to the flre and do the work for which Intended, that of extinguish ing the fire. In a White truck you Ret the result of years of experience In truck building and the output of a factory which builds the trucks thruout not Just assembling them, j You can get any equipment desired on a White fire truck so that in ad dition to getting the best of truck chassis you can also have any make of fire fighting equipment you may desire. The White Company will handle the Alliance deal direct, sav ing the usual agent's commission, should the city purchase a White truck. We welcome the fullest In vestigation and would suggest that the proposition be fully investigated by a special committee before a pur chase is made by the city council. You will find White fire trucks with equipments of several kinds in use by nearly every large city lire depart ment in the country. The smaller towns, like Alliance, find that by dealing direct with the factory they can be purchased at almost as low a price as the inferior trucks and that they are more economical to operate and can always be depended upon to get to the fire and do the required work when they get there. The best Is the cheapest in the long run. Efficiency and ability to do the work should be given serious consideration. The fine roadster now being used by Mr. King is an example of the fine product of the White factory." Mr. Gillespie leaves for Montana tonight. INSANE KANl'HEK TO KUSHVILLE A. D.

HELP YOUR EASTERN FRIEND LEAVE HIS RENTED FARM VETEKANS HOLD CAMP FIRE Write your friends back East telling them about the money they can make in dairy farming on low-priced or homestead lands In the West. Give us their names and addresses that we also may inform them how they can prosper in this industry if they are the right kind of farmers. We all know that every new farmer Is a source of wealth in your county, and his cream, poultry and hogs helps business about you. We are ready to co-operate with your commercial club or county publicity bureau towards the settlement of your county. Let us get to gether and settle It. There Is a large area in the West whose value and use was not known until the silo made dairy framing possible. A new settler who is a dairy farmer is bound to make a good living and the increased value of his land is certain to follow. County co-opt ra tion during the next few years Is what Is going to hold new settlers. We are ready to help you find them and I will be glad to get in touch with those interested in this Joint endeavor. S. B. HOWARD, Am'I lmmif-ratio.
