Once In a While
I itepped In a borne I did not know
Aid there, on a chair and all below,
Scattered, around were blocks and
strings,
And the floor was littered with vari
ous things
X rubber ball, a horse on wheels,
A mule with upward-kicking heels,
A festive rooster winged In blue
Tnat laid an egg and flapped and
crew.
And other right bewitching toys
Athrlll wHh satisfying Joys.
"A real home this I planlly see,"
Quoth I to one who bent her knee
To pick the things up one by one.
Where Is the babyT Daughter or
son?"
She laid them each In a proper place
And turned to me a wistful face
A face whose lips had learned their
part,
JLest the eyes too plain betray the
heart.
'He has Just gone home," said her
lips to me:
'l borrow him once In a while, you
see."

It Is pointed out that the rural
fre delivery service costs $40,000,-
090 per year more than it brings In.
Well, suppose It doeB? The rural
free delivery service Is doing more
food to the country than half a doz
en projects like the Panama canal.
It has made life on the farm less Iso
lated and more agreeable and does
Its share to stop the cityward tide.
Farm values for last year are put at
forty billions of dollars. This year
(be products of the farm were worth
bout ten billions not quite, but
nearly. That is a business worth
catering to. The rural service
Should be extended, not curtailed.

Effective If Inelegant
The average country printer gets
some queer "copy" . Doth ror tne
newspaper and for the Job depart
ment of his business. We are no
exception to the rule and have
Jabbed on the "set file" and filed
away in "Jackets" for future refer
ence some strange and terrible man
uscript. Lately we received an or
der to print some "Notices to Tres
passers," which should be effective
if there be any virtue in Buch warn
ing. The copy for these notices was
as follows:
NOTICE
"Trespasers will be persekuted to

Once In a while, when we feel
strong enough and patient enough to
go out soliciting advertising from
some or our friends and neighbors
who seldom break into print, we are
handed something like this: "Now
tell me, what is the use of my spend
ing money for advertising? I have
been here for years and everybody
In the county knows what I sell."
Yes, brethren, there still exist a few
Isolated specimens of the old fash

"Would It be asking too much
of you to ask that you forward
me a few specimens of the Job
work you are turning out from
time to time? A fellow told me
here the other day that The
Herald has the best Job shop In
western Nebraska, and I imme
diately made up my mind that If
that were so I could learn a lot
from it, and I could And some
good pointers, at any event."
We have complied with the re

and want to assure him that the
compliment Is appreciated. The Her

experienre, ability and knowledge of
the printing art, combined with good
paper stock, type and printing mater

Freely (ilven by an Alliance Citizen
When one has suffered tortures
from a bad back and found relief
from the aches and pains, that per
son's advice is of untold value to
friends and neighbors. The follow
ing neighborly advice comes from an
Alliance resident.
Mrs. J. E. Whaley, 422 E. Oregon
St., Alliance, says: "Over three years
ago my kidneys became badly disor
dered and the kidney secretions were
unnatural. Whenever I stooped,
sharp pains darted through my loins
and It was hard for me to straight
en. I tried many remedies, but all
failed to help me until I used Doan's
Kidney Tills. They brought relief
in a short time and I continued us
ing them until I was free from kid
ney complaint. I have had no rea
son to change my high opinion of
Doan's Kidney Fills since I recom
mended them some years ago."

"Keep a Working"
You and I and all of us occasional
ly tire of our work. The man who
collects fares on the end of a street
car, the riveter on a sky scraper, the
bricklayer, the hodcarrler, or the
bead of a great manufacturing en
terprise, the farmer, the stenograph
er and the bookkeeper and the clerk
who waits on you in the country
tore, all have their moments when
they would like to cut the whole bus
loess and take one long, lingering
loaf.
But work is really the best thing
for us. Without the satisfaction and
occasional emolument of work, life
would be dreary and we should
quickly rust out.
How often we hear of a man who
retires from business only to step to
tne grave. All his life he has look
ed forward to a rest. He at last ac
quires a -competency. He proceeds
to enjoy it, but the pleasure he an
ticipated is missing. He is not u
habitual loafer or vacationist. He
loses his vigor, his eyes are no long
er bright, his interest in affairs laps
es, presently he becomes ill and un
less ho can obtain something to take
the Interest in life that he has lost,
lie dies.
"Keep a working," was the rule
little twentieth-century ginger into
the man who asks it. Yes, Mr. Mer
chant, you have been here 20 years,
but everybody In the county does
NOT know what you sell. They know
hat you are here, Just as they know
hat there is a tree at the side of the
road a mile out of town, or the same
s they know . that somewhere In
town there is a lock-up. And when
hey come Into town they drive right
past your place just as they drive
past the big tree or the calaboose
and they pull up in front of the store
of the fellow who has NOT been
here 20 years but who is doing a
bigger business than you are. Just
because he advertises und makes
good what he says in his ads. You
can do the big business, too. Mr. Old
Timer, any day you get rid of the
idea that because you have been here
long time everybody Is thinking
about you. This does not refer to
any particular merchant but to one
and all of the non-advertising kind.

A New Ford Story
Here is a new Ford story we saw
somewhere, but have forgotten Just
where. A man in California writes
to the Ford company and tells them
they should feel very much exalted
for the reason that the Ford Is the
only car mentioned in the Bible and
to prove it cites them to a passage
n Isaiah which says: He went up
into Heaven on high." and asks what
other car but a Ford coulddothat?
When your kidneys hurt and your buck
tVels sore, don't get scared and proceed
to load your stomach with a lot of drugs
that excite the kidneys and irritate the
ntire urinary tract Keep your kidneys
lean like you keep your bowels clean,
bj flushing them with a mild, harmless
alta which removes the body's urinous
waste and stimulates them to their nor
mal activity. The function of the kid
mJ is to filter the blood. In 24 hours
they strain from it 600 grains of acid
and waste, so we can readily understand
the vital importance of keeping the kid
Beys active.
Drink lots of water you can't drink
4oo much; also get from any pharmacist
About four ounces of J ad Salts; take
A tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast each morning for a few
4lay and your kidney will act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined
with litbia, and has been used for genera
tions to clean and stimulate clogged kid
eyt; also to neutralize the acids in
vrine so it no longer is a source of irri
tation, thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure; makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-water drink which everyone should
take now and then to keep their kid
neys clean and active. Try this, alse
keep up the water drinking, and n
doubt you will wonder what became o
jrour kidney trouble and backache.

'Tis the fool who wins half the battle
Then throws all his chances away.
There is little of life but labor,

Success is the bride of endeavor,

What Would You Do?
What would you do if you had a
million dollars In cold, hard silver?
We have asked several people lately
and find that they have many differ
ent ideas. "Doc" Copeland says be
would go into Koy Heckwith's and
buy enough clothing for a lifetime
for himself and friends, to Insure
getting that Ford runabout to be giv
en away soon. "Bill" Tragessor
says he would go and buy a Ford and
take all the boys (?) riding. "Hurt"
Lalng says he would buy every kind
of gun made, from a little teentsie
weentsie target rifle to a 42-centl-meter
howitzer, capable of killing
3.333 16-pound geese at once. Frank
Spon says that he would buy a sam
ple of every breed of dog in the
world, from the hairless Mexican to
the Angora dog. "Billy" Hamilton
says be would take that new Stude
baker Six and feed it perfumed ben
zine Instead of Just plain gasoline.

some more of them say.

Mrs. McClain's Experience With
Croup.
"When my boy, Ray, was smsll be was
subject to croup, and I was alwsys alarmed
at such times. Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy proved far better than any other for this
trouble. It always relieved him quickly. I
am never without it in the house for I know
it is a positive cure for croup," writes Mrs.
W. R. McClain, Blairsville, Pa. For sale by

and the woman, "Mother" Jones, the
labor leader.
"He has been misunderstood. No
one has wronged him more than I
have," said Mother Jones after the
interview. "I found that her mind
is remarkably clear. She knows a
great deal about these matters that
1 do not know. On all matters
which we discussed we were in
agreement," said Mr. Rockefeller.
Who would have thought It prob
able that two such statements ever
would be made by two such peo
ple? But these two people met and
each discovered that the other was
a human beine, far less unreasons
ble and menacing than the oilier
supposed. Misunderstanding is caus
ed by that aloofness which has, all
these years, kept Mother Jones anti
John D., Jr., far apart. Hatred, en
mity, and misunderstandings vanish
ed with a half hour's conversation.
Each saw the other's view-point and
each realized that the other was
working toward the very same end,
but along another route.
It is more than likely that all of
us who differ on questions of poli
tics, religion, and social questions,
would be truly happier if we could
lay aside our prejudices and get to
gether for a half an hour with our
dearest enemies if we could only
understand the other fellow's view
point. To do this we must cast out
the devil of fanaticism Just as
Mother Jones and John D., Jr.. did
and in its place let enter a spirit
which will keep whispering in our
ears the words of the Golden Rule.
