FORGET YOUR P0CKETB00K It Will Only Be a Burden to You When You Attend Alliance's l.o bor Day Celebration Alliance is going to prove herself a host de luxe to the people In the town and surrounding country on Monday, September 6, for that's when that Labor Day celebration is going to be held. Even at this early date nearly all the arrangements are completed for the amusements, and Judging from the list you'll say after it is over that you never paid an ad mission price of fifty cents for better or more varied entertainment, no matter where it was held. Every number on the program is a headline attraction, and even with the program one-half the siie It Is, everyone would feel well repaid for coming many miles to attend.

Baker, and the bur- inl services were in charge of the Al liance B. P. O. Elks. The body. In charge of the sons, Earl and Bruce, came In on No. 303 Friday noon. As the casket brarlnx the deceased was removed to the hearse, nearly fifty members of the" Alliance order of Elks lined In dou ble file In front and acted as a cor- te:e from the depot to the residence. All members of that order attended the funeral In a body, and from 1:30 . to 3 o'clock Friday afternoon everp place of business In town was closed that all might pay tribute to the memory of this honorable, upright man. The pallbearers were Jerry Rowan, R. M. Hampton, C. A. New bery, H. E. Marvin, J. N. Andrews and W, W. Norton. Rev. Baker in the course of his eulogy , paid many tributes to' the memory of the one who bad met such an untimely death In the mountains, when the world seemed so bright, and gave solace to the surviving rel atives by assuring them that the sep aration was only a temporary one. The Elks ritual was observed at the cemetery, Esteemed Knight T. 8. Fielding officiating. Dosens of beautiful floral tributes were - pre sented by friends who accompanied the body to its last resting place. Hundreds of sincere condolences were offered to the son Bruce, who was the only relative present when death came. When Bruce started on what promised to be a most enjoya ble trip, he was gay and light heart ed, and those who saw him on his re turn were startled at the transforma tion. From a young man, he had changed in appearance to only a, shadow of hi former telf, and with lagging step caused by sleepless nights and grief, he w'ulked up the stut Ion platform Into the midst of friends. s A few more details of the father's death were added , Thursday after- -noon. Bruce and bis father . had made canip at noon, prepared dinner, and were resting from their arduous trip.

An undertaker was secured at Burley, thirty-five niiloa distant, by phone, and the body was taken into that town the same evening, and the return home was started Wednes- ' day evening of last week.
