State Veterinarian J. S. Andeison
returned from Wauneta tho latter
part of the week where he hud been
tor several days investigating a re
port that the foot and mouth disease
was prevalent in that section. J. II.
Robertson of Chase county shipped a
car of cattle to Kansas City some
time ago and when tho cattle arriv
ed it was found that many of them
were afflicted with aa ailment simi
lar to the f6ot and mouth disease. A
complaint from Kansas City was im
mediately dispatched to Dr. Ander
son, and the shipment - Isolated. A
quarantine was-. . ordered and the
state veterinarian promptly Btarted
an investigation. After spending a
week in Chaso county Dr. Anderson
Dr. D. B. Baker of North Platte,
president of the Fidelity Reserve
Company, arrived In Alliance the
first of last week and has since been
working here and in neighboring
towns in connection with John W.
Thomas, district agent for north
western Nebraska, and Archie Greg
ory, locnl npent nt Alliance.
Dr. Baker practiced medicine in
western Nebraska for twenty-five
years. In his profession he Baw the
need and benefit of life Insurance Cd
such an extent that he became an In
surance enthusiast. After studying
the proposition until he became
practically ftn insurance expert, he
decided to give up hla large and luc
rntivo practice In order to devote his
entire time to tho life insurance bus
iness. A.i a result of his efforts, tho Fl
delHy Risnrve Company was organ
ized with the purpose of conservlne

other llfo Insurance companies ami
Improving upon those? features that
were susceptible of improvement,
with the object in view of Etvlng pel
Iqy holders tho best possible valuos
for the premiums paid. Dr. Baker
Is an enthusiastic exponent of tho
Idea that if a man la not a believer
in life insurance it Is because he does
not thoroly understand the prlncl

agents are to thoroly explain every
feature of the Fidelity Reserve Com

The government allows the stick

The sale of Red Cross stamps

Every Indication points to n big -
Christmas trade for Alliance mer- .
chants this year. The Christmas
trade has already started off brisk,
and It is expected will be In full
swing before another week rolls
around.
One of the very noticeable things
in connection with the holiday dis
plays is the sice of the Christmas
stocks, which are if anything largor
than usual. Ixwal merchants are
being kept more than busy between
selling merchandise for the holidays
and unpacking and displaying the
new shipments of Chrlutmas wares.
While already many of tho show win
dows and Interior displays feature
Christmas goods, yet new shipments
are being received dally. Kaatern
conditions have delayed the ship
ment of many of these lines, but are
now coming through.' The displays
in the Alliance stores are about us
large and complete an one will find
in most. any city, everything consid
ered, and are being enlarged each
duy.
Hano Holiday Season
The fact that people are buying a
better class of Christinas merchan
dise this year indicates a safe and
sane holiday season. While there Is
the usual purchase of toys and
things for the kiddies yet the sale Of .
furniture and goods in the . house
furnishing line are very substantial,
especially is this true in rugs and
furniture where there is no prospect
of any material price decline for all
of a year. Jewelers report good
sales of the better class, of their of
ferings. The clothing and men's
furnishing business la also good, ac
cording to the merchants, and is ex
pected to be heavy as the Christ nuui
time approaches.
' The 1916 Christmas trade prom
ises to be a record breaker for Alli
ance merchants. Never before haa
there been so much ready money
