WHAT IS TIIK MATTKK
WITH TIIK r?MTr:i STAT KM?
"What Is the matter with the
United States?"
As I have been residing In London
since the beginning of the war, I
have been hearing this question ask
ed on all sides. I have never heard
any satisfactory answer. No one
seems to know.
Why are the American factorlse
rot running night and day? Why
are the railroads not opening up new
territories and getting ready for the
millions of immigrants who have al
ready made up their minds to leave
Europe as soon as the war Is over?
Why are there not fifty American
drummers In London right now, try
ing to sell $200,000,000 worth of
American goods in place of goods
that were bought last year from Ger
many and Austria?
Why have advertisers become
quitters, Just at the time when their
advertisements were most needed
and most effective. In cheering on the
business forces of the United States?
From the European point of view
the United States is a haven of peace
and security and prosperity. It has
no troubles that It dare mention to
Belgium or Austria or France or
Germany or Servla or Great Britain
or nussia.
Every tenth Drlton has enlisted.
Every tenth Frenchman is at the
front. Every tenth Belgian Is dead.
What does the United States know
of trouble.
If I could afford It, I would char
ter the Mauritania and Lusitania,
and convey a party of 5.000 Ameri
can advertisers to Europe for a trip
of education. I would give them a
week In Iondon, a week In Paris and
a week In Antwerp.
I would let them look at the Unit
ed States from the scene of war. I
would give them a look at HEAL
TROUBLE. I would let them see
trains, ten at a time, five minute
apart, packed with the maimed and
the dying.
I would let them hear, from frag
mentary survivors, the Incredible
story of battlefields ISO miles wid?.
and armies that are greater than the
entire population of texas.
I would let them see graves, 100
yards long and full and Belgium,
the country that was, nothing now
but 12,000 square miles of wr-cVage.
Then, when they began to under
stand, to some slight extent, the
magnitude and awfulness of this
war. I would say to them:
"NOW, GO BACK AND APPRE
CIATE THE UNITED STATES. RE
ALIZE YOUR OPPORTUNITIES.
DON'T START DIGGING TRENCH
ES WHEN NOBODY IS FIRING AT
YOU. DON'T FALL DOWN WHEN
YOU HAVE NOT BEEN HIT. DON'T
BE BLIND TO THE MOST GLORI
OUS CHANCE YOU HAVE HAD IN
YOUR LIFE.
"GO BACK AND ADVERTISE.
GET READY FOR THE MOST TRE
MENDOUS BOOM THAT ANY NA
TION EVER HAD. BUILD YOUR
FACTORIES BIGGER. TRAIN
MOKE SALESMEN. BORROW
MORE MONEY. GO AHEAD. AND
THANK GOD THAT YOU ARE A
LIVE AND THAT YOUR FAMILY IS
ALIVE. AND THAT YOU ARE LIV
ING IN A LAND THAT IS AT
PEACE. AT A TIME WHEN NEAR

WHY SOME MARRIAGES FAIL
Judge Berry (ilves liit-reting Inter
view on Incident Occurring In
His Ofllce HUe of Divorce
Some rather amusing incidents
come before the attention of County
Judge L. A. Berry In the issuance of
marriage licenses. It should be stat
ed right, here, though, that the
amusement is generally on one side
Judge Berry's as there Is little
amusement In the Incidents for the
other parties.
Only the other day two young peo
ple, accompanied by the girl's moth
er, drove 25 miles to Alliance, that
they might become man and wife.
Upon their application for a license
the Judge asked them if they had the
girl's father's consent in writing, the
young lady being of the age that this
was necessary. The mother Inform
ed lilni that she had her mother's
consent, and that the father was will
ing, but did not know that it was
necessary to have the father's con
sent. There was no alternative for
the Judge but to refuse to Issue the
license, even though it was difficult
to do so with the pleadings coming
in o-i all sides, and the result was
that the unhappy pair were compell
ed to return home, to come apain an
other day.
On another occasion, a lady In the
count -y called him over the phone
to fin 1 If her daughter could be mar
ried. When asked her age she re
plied that she was "nearly sixteen".
which, by the way, is the age limit
In this state. . When Informed thut
it would be an impossibility, the ludy
at the other end of the phone came
near telling the Judge what she
thought of him, as she thought it
was none of the state's business if
her daughter wanted to get married
under sixteen.
When asked what he thought was
the greatest cause for the many di
vorces In this day and age. Judge
Berry replied with considerable ve
hemence, "Girls marrying too
young." Talking along the same
line, he remarked: "This, In my esti
mation, is the greatest contributing
cause toward the present day divorce
t courts working theoretically day and
night. Girls of tender years take a
I passing fancy to some man, and mar
ry wiinuui Knowing oi ine serious
duties of wifehood and motherhood',
and a divorce is generally the result
, In such cases. If I bad my way, 1
! would make the law read so that no
! young lady could marry before she
was twenty years old; by the time
I she had reached that age she would
know the responsibilities she was un
dertaking. Furthermore, I believe
I the man should be at least twenty
i five before being permitted to marry.
This. I believe, would eliminate so
i much unhapplness, and the grind In
the divorce courts would be reduced
to the minimum."
Judge Berry has been here for
: many years and has seen enough re
'suits to know whereof he speaks.

A Mt NH ll'AL HEATING PLANT
Plan to Divert Escaping; Steam from
l'ower House and ( reamer) into
Business Houses
A number of the citizens and busi
ness men are agitating a municipal
heating plant for Alliance, and more
are Joining the movement as they
learn the details of the plan.
The proposition in a nutshell Is to
conserve the Bteam which escapes at
the city power house and the cream
ery and cause it to furniBU heat for
the business houses. The lead pipe
from the power house to the main
part of town would be a small Item,
as the best grade of pipe would not
necessarily have to be used for the
purpose. Besides making a great
reduction in the heat bills for the
buildings which now have individual
furnaces, it would do away with the
constant services of a Janitor, and
would Insure an even supply of heat
all day long. Furthermore, it could
remain on day and night, without ad
ditional cost, thus insuring warm
rooms on cold mornings.
A municipal heating plant on this
same order is now In operation at
Sidney, and there is also one at
Crawford, and those who have been
In these towns and have seen the
plants claim that they are a great
Improvement. It is estimated by
those in Alliance who have studied

When you think you ought to make a trip, why not

America is interwoven with 21.000,000 miles of tele

That is 65 per cent of all the telephone wire in the world.

Under the caption. "Tribute to a

printed an obituary of Albert T. Da

the matter, that the power house
alone would supply enough heat to
keep all the business buildings warm
in ordinary weather, and that on the
colder days there would be plenty of
heat by connecting with the cream
ery, or by installing an auxiliary
boiler.
This is really a new innovation,
but its success in the towns which
have already tried it has demonstrat
ed its feasibility, and it Is very prob
able that most of the towns of any
size in this part of the state will
have plants in operation before next
year. As to the cost, it will be seen
at a glance that this would be cheap
er than operating the furnaces over
town individually. It is a matter
that demands attention, not only
from the standpoint of convenience
and economy for the patrons, but
from the standpoint of increased rev
enue for the city.
Mayor Hodgers expressed himself
as being favorable to the project, and
believes that it will mean a saving to
the users. If the matter is taken up,
it is probable that soaieone will be
sent to a town which has a plant in
operation, where the details will be
studied.
