Announcing the
NEW CASH GROCERY
Next week we open for business a Grocery
which will be conducted on the basis thatf the
name implies Cash. We believe there is
room here for such a store, and that cash buy
ing will prove popualr and money-saving.
It is our intention to carry only standard
brands of Groceries, such as will merit your
approval and patronage. Everything will be
new and fresh. By selling for cash we will be
enabled to convert our stock into money more
quickly, serve you better, and most of all, save
you money. We will have a greater purchas
ing power, and as a result can give the benefit
of this to our customers.
Our location is the Wood building on East
3d, where we want to meet you and get acquaint
ed. The manager of this store is no stranger
to Alliance people, having lived here several
years ago.
Come in Any Time Always
Glad to See You.

THAT IRRIGATION TEST
Agreement Relative to Teet Wells
IUcv1m1 Not Satisfactory
Ileturned for Correction
Senator Earl Mallery last week re
ceived an agreement In regard to the
Irrigation tent well in this section
from the state board of regents. In
the contract was incorporated the
clause that the county should settle
its half of the cost within Ave days
after the completion of the well.
This clause was amended so that
more time would be given and the
contract was returned for reconsid
eration by the board. Senator Mat
tery is of the opinion that Ave days
Is not a suflicient length of time in
which to decide the possibilities of
the flow of water on such an import
ant proposition as this. It is the in
tention to Investigate the flow of wa
ter thoroughly before any definite
report is made so there may be no
misunderstanding and that the Irri
gation project may be given a thor
ough tryout. The efficiency of the
pumping apparatus is not a very im
portant part, for pumping machinery
has been perfected to such an extent
that there need be little concern over
that part of the work being done
thoroughly.
JUDGE BERRYJO FRISCO
DeMrted Tuesday KvenliiK to Attend
Convention of Irrigation and
Drainage oltard
County Judge Berry departed
Tuesday for Sun Francisco, where he
will attend the convention of the nat
ional irrigation and drainage board,
as a delegate to which he was ap
pointed by Governor Morehead sev
eral months ago. Judge Berry is the
only one in this section of the coun
try that accepted the appointment,
because each delegate has to defray
his own expenses during the" trip and
few of them cared for the honor on
this account. The Judge believes
that much good can and will bejic-
compllshed and determined to go and
use his influence.
This is the first vacation of any
importance that Judge Berry has ta
ken for ten years, the last one being
a trip to the Black Hills. While away
he will attend the exposition at the
coast metropolis, and later will go to
Portland for a visit with relatives
uid friends. He experts to be awny
about four weeks. During his ab
sence F. M. Broome Is acting county
judge, and he is spending most of his
time at the court house.
la wind, the Animal Husbandry De
partment of the College of Agricul
ture says that serious consideration
should be given the hogging down of
corn. By this method of feeding
not only can the labor Involved in
harvesting corn be reduced to a min
imum but more pork can be produc
ed from a bushel of corn.
In answer to an Inquiry sent out
by the Iowa Agricultural Experiment
station, 158 farmers reported that by with Mrs. W. W. Johnson's pootret
hogging down corn they were able to book, which he took out of a drawer
make a saving of 6.89 cents a bushel.
I'lgs should not be put Into the
cornfield until the corn Is dented. If
they are put In earlier, the maximum
food value of the corn cannot be ob
tained.

A FALSE ALARM
Nutneoae Thought. There Uw n Fire
in the Norton Block Sun
day Night
Sunday night, while the rain was
falling in torrents, the fire whistle
sounded. The alarm came from the
Norton block, but after the fire de
partment had arrived and bad made
a frantic search for a blaze, they
were disappointed. It was at first
thought that the fire might be in the
Harper department store, but the ar
rival of Mr. Harper and the opening
of the store showed this not to be the
case.
The supposition is that someone in
the neighborhood was burning old
rags in a furnace and the man who
gave the alarm smelted this. He
probably made a hasty examination,
and discovering more smoke and no
fire decided be needed help In his

Week Next Inspection Will
lk HOlti, lilM mi. I U'Jnd
About 200 head of horses were
purchased by the representatives of
w the French governnienl in Alliance
.st week, the Inspection being under
f the direction of Major Hue and Cap
tain LeClare, of the French army.
Taken as a whole, this was one of the
best Inspections held here, the class
of horses bought being above the av
erage. Many of them were bhipped
In here from webtern communities.
The fame of Alliance as au inspec
tion point is rapidly spreading, and
horses are being brought here all the
time In preparation for future in
spections. However, most of the ac
ceptable oiies have come from near
at home, where the money paid will
benefit those who deserve U. It U
eHtimuted that nearly three-quarters
of a million dollars ban b-en distrib
uted from this point. As long as the
'war continues, and reports from the
i war zones bear out the theory that It
is poing to continue for several
' niomhb, and possibly a year, there U
! going to be a demand for good horses
and it is up to the Fnited States to
furnish them. The South has al
j ready been acoured closely and the
.best stuff in that section has been
bought, consequently it is up to the
North to supply the ever increasing
demand.
Naturally the best horses go first,
but if conditions continue across the
ocean a.i they are now, the inferior
grades are going to be put on the
market and accepted, as this course
will be the only one available to sup
ply war horses. About , f 250,000 of
the money distributed here has tone
into the pockets of Wyoming stock
iumii who brought their stock here,
which leaves a half-million for the
home men.
A new herd Is already beinp as
sembled for the next inspection, and
so far the horses are of superior
quality.
