SCHOOL PRIZES
FORJfllLOREN
Fifteen Dollar In Prls.c Awarded
by Alliance Commercial Club
for the llt F.kmm)s
115 In prizes for the best essays
on why Alliance should have a com
munity building were paid by the
Alliance Commercial Club. Thirty
nine essays were turned In to the
club, the names were taken off, and
they were forwarded to the Judge,
V. C. Itundln of Crawford. Mr. Run
dln Is secretary of the Crawford
school board as well as the Crawford
Chamber of Commerce.
The first prize of $5 for the High
school was' won by Nina VVhaley,
age eighteen. It reads as follows:
Why Alliance Need a Community
lliiilriiiig
Where In Alliance is 'here a place
for amusement of the children of the
grammar grades, pupils of the High
school, and men and women after
their day's work is completed? This
in itself is a good reason why Alli
ance needs a Community Building.
As It is, young men and girls are
led to other placeB which are not
perhaps the most suitable. For In
stance, the boys and young men are
req.uent loafers about the pool halls,
depot and post office.
Then again, such a building would
Increase the value of every piece of
property in Alliance. We would
have a place to hold our annual con
ventions, and a rest room will be In
readiness for the farmers wives and
children.
It will be a place where the clt-
Uens may and will collect together
and enjoy themselves, and become
acquainted with one another.
Looking from the financial point
of view this building would be much
better than a Y. M. C. A. because af
ter the building Is completed, there
will be no added expense. It is es
timated that the expense of the pro
posed Y. M. C. A. building would be
wo thousand dollars yearly, in or
der that It may be properly main
tained.
If other towns a little larger than
Alliance can build and receive the
benefit from a Community Building,
why can't we?
Most of the citizens If tney wisn
to go in bathing during the summer
time find It necessary to leave ror
some resort and thus spend their
money which they make, In some
other place.
The gymnasium, too, will be of
great help to those Interested in ath
letics. It will also be used as a ban
quet hall and do we not need some
such place? Instead of paying a big
sum for a hall some evening, wny
not use the proposed gymnasium, It
will serve Just as well.
If Alliance cannot see the necessi
ty for a Community Building now It
probably never win.
The. second prize of $2.50 for the
High school was won by Tressa Van-
dervoort. age eighteen. The article
follows:
Why Alliance Needs a Community
Ilulldlng
Probably one of the most promln
ent questions whlcn tne people or
Alliance are now discussing is the
erection of a Community Building,
which could be used by all citizens
voung and old.
Some people are opposed to mis
Dlan. saving that the city has no
need for any more public buildings,
while others feel the necessity of
such a place where they could spend
their spare time In reading or recre
ation.
Country people, when in town,
would have a place to deposit their
bundles and to rest when they are
wearied by the drive to town, ana
this will help to create a better
friendship among the people of Box
Butte county.
The men of the country ana town
could have access to the club room.

so to the reading room.
The young people, especially, will
enlov going to this proposea nuua
Ing. and are now in favor or u, ana
working. Many mothers and fathers
sometimes do not know where their
young folks go after school. Proba
bly they are loaOng arouna ine
streets, or hanging around the pool
halls, wasting both time and money
If they have access to Community
Building, they could spend their
time In clean and wholesome recrea
tlon, and thus prevent much of the
degrading pastimes. It would also

to obtain greater physical strength
and exercise their muscles.
Nearly all of the High school stud
ents are back of this proposition and
are eager for a building which would

hard and earnestly. The Cbmmerc
lal Club, as well as the High Bchool
needs your support for this proposi
tlon. We want it to work. Help us
in the campaign for the Community
Building.
First prize. $5. for the grade
schools was won by Irma T. Ellis
aee ten. Central school. The article
follows:
Why Alliance Needs a Community
Ilulldlng
Alliance should have a Commun
itv Building for the following rea
sons:
1. To keep the boys and young
men off of the streets and teach
them to prefer good, not evil, plac
es.
2. To keep them out of saloon
where gambling, drinking and bad
language are practiced.
3. To have a Y. M. C. A. room
for the young men of that club.
4. For a Y. M. C. A. club, as will
probably be organized If a room Is to
be had.
5. To afford a place of Innocent
fun for those who wish It, as Alii
ance is a city of large transient pop
ulation and there are many here w ho
have only their sleeping room and
would enjoy something of this sort.
6. To have a rest room where
people traveling may go to rest be
tween trains, thus scattering the
news .far and near thHt Alliance Is
up-to-date and progressive.
7. Kanrh and farm people may
go and find a comfortable, clean rest
ing plnce while doing their shopping.
1 hey would appreciate It greatly.
8. To have a swimming pool for
those who cannot afford to go to one
out of town.
9. To have a physical culture
room which brings health to those
who have the luck to practice It,
thereby making stronger men for
Box Butte county and giving
strength to the weak and make us
more wise business men, and doing
good to humanity.
10. To afford a gathering place
for the Commercial Club, most nec
essary for the further future growth
of Alliance and this vicinity.
11. It would be a large saving In
rent and various other expenses for
he Commercial Club and these oth
er organizations and by affording
hem much more roomy and com
fortable quarters and meeting plac
es. 12. Alliance should have a com
munity building because there Is
none in this part of the state and
Alliance Is the largest city In this
part of the state, and should there
fore lead In this matter of a Com
munity building.
13. Alliance should have a Com
munity building because of Its peo
ple, and especially Its poor people,
who.
"Far from the maddening crowd's
Ignoble strife,
Their sober wishes never learned
to stray
Along the cool sequestered vale of
life;
They keep the noiseless tenor of
their way."

Country Church Yard, by
Thomas Gray.
Second prize, $2.50, for the grade
schools was won by Ruth Hawes,
Emerson school. The article fol
lows:
Why Alliance Should Have a Com
munity Ilulldlng
Alliance should have a Commun
ity Building and needs one badly. It
will be a great help and Improve
ment to the city.
If there was such a building here,
Instead of loafing around the streets
and going out of town to find enjoy
ment, the young people could go up
there.
At present the young folks are get
ting quite disgusted without any sort
of entertainment. They think of the
good times they have had when vis
iting other places where a commun
ity building Is erected.
This building would contain a
large number of rooms. It will be
building such as Alliance has nev
er had nor will If they don't get to
work and help boost.
The building will contain a swim'
ming tank, for the boys and girls.
Also a room will be fixed for women
when shopping to come In and rest.
The men wUl possess a smoking and
resting room. It will also provide
meeting place for our farmers,
ranchers, merchants, and commerc
ial bodies, where they may talk ov
er various subjects, that may arise
from time to time, pertaining to the
welfare of the community.
Now the only enjoyment Is the
skating pond. Not every one can
skate so this Is of no use to them.
While if the community building
was here they would all have a good
time.
The people of Alliance for years
have been saying that they have no
place to go for amusement, nor any
place for their children to enjoy
themselves. So In this case no more
amusement would be needed.
It other towns the size of Alliance
ean erect such a building that costs
