The first game, which was between the two Intermediate teams, was a most exciting one. The Moth- This is What They Are Now Having on Their Bill of Fare In the South Mouth Water? At our Thanksgiving dinner we may have a few samples of green vegetables, but we will remember that they were grown somewhere else than in western Nebraska. Those roasting ars awhile back tasted very good, but somehow the roasting ear season didn't last near long enough and it see.i.s that they were on the dlsts started out ahead and stayed I market In the dim distant past. And that way for about five minutes. The Christians then forged ahead, and tho name remained about even until the end. At the end of the first half the score was 1 to 15 lu favor of the Christians. Then the leaders ame back a little stronger In the last half, with the result that the final were stood 25 to 2u in favor of the Christians. Little team work was displayed. Mtroughout the game, each one play teg Individually. Most of the scores tar the winners were made by Purln '"leti. playtng center. Following Is the lineup of players: METHODIST CHRISTIAN Howard Lotspeich rf Lyndell Lewis ay Edwards If Lester Beal William Lunn c Dave Purinton -Henry Rider rg ; Howard Rider rg Chas. Sicily too. Vandervoort Ig W. Anderson The second game was Just as Inter esting as the first and some got even more amusement out of watching the little chaps battle. The age limit on both teams is sixteen years, and in order to play on the Junior one must aot weigh over 110 pounds, so It looked like a Tom Thumb game but it was no less exciting on that ac count, for every boy played as if his life depended winning that game, it was evident from the first, however, that the MethodistB were safe in this game, as they kept a good lead all through the game and at the end of the twenty minutes of play had piled p a score of 17 points against the Christians' 4. The game was well atended and everyone enjoyed the entertainment. The lineup of the second team was as follows: METHODIST CHRISTIAN Ray Edwards If Leon Alter Wade Grassman rf Lyndell Lewis Hlmo Calder c Lester Beal Howard Lotspeich rg H. Purintou Dick Martin lg Artie Osborne lg Cecil Beal Prof. Crawford of the high school referred both games to the satisfac tion of all. KTAXWNO OK TIIK TKAMS Intermediate Age not over 10 likewise new potatoes, string beans, tomatoes, radishes and turnips. But they're eattng these things now but in a different part of the United States than this. Just read thlB from a Texas paper: "The ground here will produce the results If you go after it, and this was dem onstrated to us very strongly when we stepped into a grocery store here the other day and found on the vege table counters the following home grown stuff: Oranges, roasting earB, radishes, egg plant, peppers, roselle, tomatoes, lemons, grapefruit, spin ach, lettuce, squash, new potatoes, turnips, okra, beans and cabbage." And in another part of the same paper, the Harlington (Texas) Star, we find that "string beans are hold ing the center of the stage at present in local truck shipments. There has been considerable egg plant going lately and it hns brought fair prices." Well, anyway, they haven't got our ideal climate down there, nor our bumper potato crop. We have a lot to be thankful for. SPUD CELLAR COMPLETED virt7 I n nee Crowd Filled IMielnn Oora Motive to Hear Noted HnlloHell Company M-.niln) Fvenlng Finishing Touches Will lie.

Already the cellar is well-filled and several cars have been shipped each day by O'Banuoa Bros., local agents for the produce com-, pany. The cellar at iiemingiora was completed several days ago. For the past ten days potatoes have been coming into Alliance from all directions by the dozen wagon loads, and the producers have been well taken care of by the buyers here j and they have experienced little de lay In getting their product off their hunds.

The new cellar is built wery con front the 2Ju lUcstcrn JVbrnslx THANKSGIVING DAY is here. "We are palled upon to make Rcknowlcilgcment to God for a year of groat prosperity and for a hope of greater Mossing during the poming year. As a nation of American people we liave been richly favored. Our props have boon magnificent; our business excellent; we have boon at peace with ihe world while our neighbors on every side have been at war; the wisdom and good judgment of our statesmen has kept our nation from becoming embroiled in the great conflict. While some may spend Thanksgiving Day in joyous games and with laughl.T and fun, we should take time for solemn self examination, asking ourselves whether or not we h ive made use of the opportunities showered upon us during the year. Wc are judged not so much by what wc have done, as by what we have tried to do. Most men, falling in a rut, go through life carrying talents unknown and unused. Have courage. He who tries and fails deserves much more than he who fails to try. Cow ardice has killed more men than courage. Look upon those whom fortune and fame appear to have favored among us. Born as we, they have climbed the ladder step by step, often stopping, but never going backward. Indomitable courage has urged them on and on; failure has not daunted them; today they stand above the crowd, while we, with cowardice in our hearts, watch and envy them from afar. Live to learn. Life, at its best, is short. One year ago today you thought how short the time since the last Thanksgiving Day. Today you think the same, nave you bettered yourself during the past year! Have you denied yourself pleasures in order that you might learn to live better, cleaner, more useful lives, or have you drifted with the tide of human life, wasting precious moments, minutes and hours with the fleeting, silly pleasures of the mob. Only one hour spent each day in study and silent thought will make of us better men and women. Only a few years ago western Nebraska was a bleak, wind-swept plain, peopled by the wan dering Indian and the howling coyote. Today wp have abundant reason for Thanksgiving when we consider that our virgin soil has yielded abundant crops; that we as producers furnish food for U more than a million of our fellow men; that hundreds and hundreds of homes do! the plains; the contented dairy cow and the fat steer have driven the coyote afar ; that our towns arc busy hives of industry; and that so few have been palled by the grim reaper Death. And while we gather 'round the festive board on the Day of Days, let us not forget the more unfortunate ones with less to be thankful for, and remember them in a way that will gladden their hearts. wtKumtuntt tmmi nr mnnrnranttr. srr The Phclan opera house was crowded to nearly its largest seating capacity Monday night by n very en thusiast Ir audience who assembled to ! hour the noted Hnllowell Concert company. From the first ringing up of the curtain thru to the IntermlB P'on the entire crowd was hel l spell ! town ' by tie perfect rendition of jthe very dilllrult but much appreciat ed numbers on the program. "The Stars And Stripes Forever", the first number, called forth unani mous applausn, and none the least appreciated by the following selec tion, "William Tell", which seemed to satisfy the most critical and artis tic music lover. Several of the num bers before and after the intermis sion Included carefully-selected soloa of the cornet, harp, violin, and the baritone soloist, J. B. Wenzel, cer tainly more than pleased everyone. His voice work showed great train ing and ability and he responded again and again, In the most gracloua manner, to the encores, showing him to be much In love with his work and eager to please. The duets on the flute and piccolo, the cornet and trombone, called forth praise and In fact the whole group are considered among the very best which have been heard In thin elty or elsewhere. Other selections Included In their program were: "Mignonette", "The Butter fly", selections from "II Trovatore", Debutante".

Kvans. who cashed the check, decided that the money he had paid was due him. According ly, he took steps toward recovering It. going first to the county attorney, then to Judge Westover, and lastly to Sheriff Cox, in whose possession he nad learned it wae. But oiik-l-nw the officer cov.lda't see things lhe colonel's way, and told Mr. Ev ans ihat the prif.onei also claimed the money, and that there was noth ing for him to do according to law but to keep it In his possession until a later date. The colonel became ve hement ln his protests, and demand ed that the money be not handed ov er to the "thief" as he called hini. That was where the conversation ended and thus far the colonel's dil errma Is not remedied. But of owe thinK he is sure he doesn't intend to CHsh any more checks. SPODS GOING OP luring the lat Week Price Jumps from 22-25 Cent to KO-Ji.1 tVnts M Bushel HORSE DIED IN FIRE Starkn from Freight Knglix' Met Prairie Fire Which Burned Hani With Horne What is good news to the potato growers in this section Is that the price of potatoes is on the Increase. For the past several weeks the price boa fiactaated between 22 cents and 2f. cents, but this week it went up to 30 to 35 cents. While a raise of a few cents on the bushel does not look so great to the town family that buys two or three bushels a year from the producer, nevertheless, it means considerable to the farmer that produces Beveral hundred or even a thousand bushels. Even If he produces only 600 bush els, the ten-cent raise means !i0 to him. i rew, n any, or me consumers, oo Iject to paying ten cents extra for j each bushel, for they feel that this . will encourage the farmer in his ef- forts, and at the same time hel le 1 numerate him for a lot of hard work.

A barn belonging to John Wright, living lu the northwest part of town,' was burned to the ground Tuesday afternoon, and a slx-months-old colt tied inside perished before assistance arrived. Behind the barn is a long stretch of prairie, and this was tired by sparks from a freight engine. As the grass was short and the blaze spread slowly, it was not thought It would do any damage before it burn ed itself out. The maimer was on the side of the barn facing the fire, and It is thought I the blaze crept under the edge of the barn and ignited the hay. The colt was tied substantially, and probably made many unsuccessful attempts to break away. When Mrs. Wright saw the barn arlre she promptly ran to a neigh bor's for assistance and to give the I alarm. Returning, she found the I barn burning badly. She managed (to loosen their cow, which was kept . witli the colt, but she was unable to j loosen the colt on account of the I heat. ; The Hre department made a record ' run. but it required some time before .the necessary 9.r0 feet of hose could be laid from the nearest plug. The ; barn was not an expensive one, and the chief loss was the young horse. Some people think western Nebras ka has a rather warm climate during the summers and cold weather dur ing the winters. However, most peo ple will agree that this Is about the healthiest part of the country on the globe. Just by way of contrast, let's take a look at the Imperial valley In Calif ornia. How would you like to tak a bath in ice water? Preposterous, you say who live In this country. Yet ihat's just what the people do In that particular valley, according to F. A. Beiyon. the new grocer, who has traveled extensively over North Am erica. And the Imeprial valley bath ers don't stop at that they put an electric fan on each side of them In other words they put an electric fan at one oud and a cake of ice at the other. But there's a reason for all this. The summer days are so oppressively hot in that neck of lhe woods that even the natives, who are mostly Mexicans and Japs, will not walk across the street without a hat on, for fear of sunstroke. And they have good reason for this, because many have not taken this precaution and suffered death as a result of their negligence. The natives sleep in sheets that have been soaked In ice water. Mr. Beiyon says as long as one is on a moving train he does not notice th hat so greatly, but whenever the train stops at a station they feel that they are soon going to draw their lust breath. The Imperial val ley Is two hundred feet below sea lev el, and the heat there Is more opres slve than in any other part of the country. Of course after you read this you will wonder why anyone with brains and horse sense wants to live in that country, ln reality It's about the same reason that people inhabit any other part of the globe money. The cantaloupe crop there this year brought about threo million dollars. land it was raised without much ef jfort. as cantaloupes litornllv ,-crow over nli;bt" there. The Mexicans and Japs are about the only ones that jean live there; a pert.011 from any 'other part of the globe soon finds he ! has business elsewhere. That's why 1 Mr. Beiyon says It's a good country j to stay away from. Thanksgiving FrancisX. Bushman and Margaret Snow in 4The Second in Command" A powerful drama of Love and War in 6 acts.
