A COUNTRY CLUB FOR ALLIANCE
While Alliance has been going ahead at a 'pace equalled by no
other town of its size in the state ,in the past two or three years, the
proposition of a country club for the town has been mentioned a few
times but never acted upon. It was recently the privilege of two
Alliance newspaper men to visit the home of t he Scottsbluff country
club, which has been organized within the pant few weeks. An eighty
acre tract of land .lying at the foot of the bluffs, was purchased,
Golf links have been laid out and are now in daily use and tennis
courts arc being prepared. A fine club home is in course of construe
tion and soon to be completed. The site is an advantageous one, the
view up an ddown the valley being superb.
North Platte is now following the example set by Scottsbluff and
havo organized a country club, as shown by the following article from
the Lincoln Daily Star:
North Platte. Neb.. May 20 The North Platte Country club
has been Incorporated with a capltul stock of 110,000. A tract
of 145 acres Just north of the city will be purchased and a club
house of sufficient magnitude to accomldate a large membership
will be erected. This was decided at a meeting of the directors
of the club and committees appointed to look to the details of the
plan. The incorporation was completed at once and the committee
to have charge of the club house construction and the improve
ment of the grounds will draw up plans at once. The property
t will be purchased as soon as the stock has been subscribed. Mem
bers of the Riverside Outing club wllll form the holding company
and as soon as arrangements are completed the books of the organ
ization will be opened to a large membership. A golf course la to
be laid out, a large number of trees planted and other improve
ments made. Operations toward the building of the club house
and the completing of other Improvements will begin early in June.
Dr. Joseph Jeffrey of Alliance is an enthusiastic booster for a
country club for Hox Hutto county. Now is a good time to boost the
proposition.

No other medicine ever has ap
proached the wonderful record of
Tanlac. Its success is a romance of
the staid business world a success
built on merit bo unusual that in Just
nine months after Tanlac had been
Introduced, one million bottles had
been Bold to men and women who
had learned Its superior qualities for
the relief of ailments of the stomach,
liver and kidneys and catarrhal af
fections. Tanlac appeals to the best people
everywhere. These are the men and
women who Judge intelligently and
impartially, and the result always is
a Tanlac verdict. Upon the endorse
ment of many thousands of well
known people rests the great and se
cure popularity of Tanlac.
Those who take Tanlac always re
turn for the second bottle because
the first few doses establish its mer
its. Tanlac Is so efficient and pure,
It at once makes known its value in
derangements of the stomach, indi
gestion upset nerves and debility.
Tanlac, that has come to be gen
erally known as the Master Medicine

distances dally, using their starting
motor considerably and not putting
back Into the battery the same
amount of current they take out.
Then they drive their cars at night
with the lights burning and often
times let their cars stand at the curb
with the motor dead and the lights
still burning and using current from
the batery.
According to the Willard Storage
Battery Co., this is being overcome
to some extent through the educa
tional measures which have been
adopted by their service, stations
throughout the country. In every j
case possible, the car owner Is In
structed in the proper care as well as
operation of his entire electrical sys
tem, so that he will know why he is
doing certain things.
Every car owner must remember
that it is necessary to drive at 15 or
20 miles an hour to generate enough
current to effect the battery to any
extent. A well cared for battery is
just about as dependable a thing as
there Is on a motor car, but one
which is not given the proper atten
tion will soon cause a lot of trouble
and expense to the owner.

Valuable Information for Every' Car
Owner Regarding Care of the
Electric Battery.
Tre owner of a modern motor car
is often heard to ask, "How can I
keep my batery charged? My lamps
burn dim and the starter is weak."
In a great many cases this com
plaint is due to the fact that the
owner does not drive his car suffi
ciently without the lights burning or
the starter being operated to gener
ate enough current so that the bat
tery will supply the demand of the
lights and the starter when neces
sary. This is especially true among the
