ARMY MAN TELLS
OFTHESERVICE
Corporal Booth, Stationed til Alii
ance, Tells Herald Reporter of
Life In the Army
PERMANENT KKCHUiTING HERE
Seven Years' Enlistment May He
Fiirloughed to Reserves after
One Year Draw Salary
That the city of Alliance la gain
ing In Importance In the eyes of the
Federal government Is evidenced by
the fact that the war department has
opened up a permanent recruiting of
fice here. The office i being main
tained at the Burlington hotel, where
a large room ofT the lobby has been
fitted up for ofllce purposes, with
Corporal Charles II. Booth of the
General Service Infantry, and his as
sistant, in charge.
The war department opened up an
office here not long ago with the idea
in mind of maintaining the Alliance
office temporarily, it being the opin
ion of the recruiting department that
the field here was not largo enough.
However, the officials were doomed
to a pleasant disappointment for the
number of recruits who Joined the
army here far surpassed their fond
est expectations. It was then that
the department decided to open up a
permanent office here the same as Is
maintained at Lincoln, Omaha, Sioux
City, Kansas City. St. Louis, Minne
apolis a other of tho great cities of
the country.
Leant Facts ubout Army
While much has been said in one
the average person knows but little
regarding the working of the regu
lar army. . It was with tho idea of
learning something about this branch
of the service that a Herald reporter
called on Corporal Booth, and, it suf
ficient materlul could oe gathered, to
present it to Herald readers that
they might have facta and be better
Informed o army ways and of what
a soldier is required to do.
Corporal Booth greeted the Her
ald reporter at the recruiting station
with, "How do you do; were you
thinking of joining the army?"
When informed that the writer was
but a humble reporter seeking after
the truth, he said:
"Yes, it will be a pleasure to tell
you about the army that you iuay im
part to those who are not familiar
with present conditions tomo facts.
Many judge the army from what
ihi. irni'.i tirrsona-who do not
realize the changes that have taken j
place In recent years, or iroiu iuuc
who, from misconduct, have been
put out of the service"
Corporal Booth is a ready talker
and It took but few questions to
draw from him a story concerning
the army that should be read by all.
Continuing, the corporal said:
Tells of Early Da
"During the early days the army
was very small, and was used almost
entirely to open up and develop the
western section of t' e country, and
to protect pioneers from depreda
tions committed by hostile Indians.
During that lime most of the army
stations were scattered throughout
the west. Soldiers went through
mauy hardships and privations, the
methods of communication were slow
and crude, and in many instances
the soldiers had to erect their own
barracks. Their quarters were mea
ger, and convenience's were few.
"With t' e settlement 'of tho west,

Some Twenty Have Already Made
Formal Applications for Ijoanm
from federal Iiand Hank
Twenty-five men, Interested In one
way or another in the newly organ
ized Alliance National Farm Loan
Association, met in the assembly
room of the Box Butte county court
house Tuesday afternoon and those
desiring to affiliate with the associa
tion made formal application. About
twenty have now made formal appli
cation for loans. The land apprais
als to date were formally filed. A
copy of the articles of association for
the Alliance National Farm Loan as
sociation along with tho certified ap
praisements and formal applications
made will be sent to the Omaha Land
Bank on Saturday of this week by
the association's secretary, Fred
Mollring.
Temporary Officers Hold Office
Upon receipt of the association
charter a special meeting will be
called for the purpose of drawing up
a permanent constitution and by
laws and also for the election of of
ficers. Until that time the tempor
ary officers recently elected will hold
office.
There were about ten men in at
tendance at the meeting hold Tues
day who had never before attended
any of the meetings held by the
county agent for the purrose of ac
quainting those desiring to borrow
from the Federal Land Bank with
facts concerning the new act. County
Agent Seidell explained the work
ings of the law to these men. At
every meeting it is necessary to again
go over the law because there are al
ways men in attendance who have
not attended previous meetings.
Correct Misunderstanding
One of the arguments that some
who do not understand tho law or
who do not want to understand the
law use to attempt to persuade
would-be borrowers from Uncle Sam
to stay out of the association is that
if one member defaults the other
members are personally responsible
for the loss. This Is absolutely un
true. Tho facts are, as stated in the
articles of association: "In the event
of this association becoming insolv
ent, each stockholder s' nil be liable
for the debts of the association in a
sum not exceeding 5 per cent of the
amount borrowed, but there shall be
no other liability of ono member for
the debt or obligation of another."
There is hardly a possibility that an
association will become Insolvent
any more than that a national bank
iuny become so, because the land
bank looks into the loans, appraises
the property itself, looks up the bor
rower's record and makes a thorough
Investigation of each loan. Should
iiir ho :i nubility ' il amounts to
this: If you borrow $1,000 you can
be held for 1100 and not a cent more
and it makes no difference whether
you are worth one dollar or one mil
lion dollars.

Lincoln, Nebr.. Jan. 10 The Ne
braska legislature Bottled down to
business this morning after eight
dayB of preliminary work. - The or
ganization of tho house of represent
atives was completod Tuesday after
noon with the acceptance of tho re
port of the Democratic caucus com
mittee on committees, naming the
standing committees for the house
during the session. Tho Bcaate will
complete its organization today and
me Dins win then begin to go Into
the hopper and thence to considera
tion by the committees.
Much interest centers on the bd oc
tal committee of five, three - Demo
crats and two Republicans, named
Dy the house to draft and introduce
the bill to enforce tho prohibition
amendment, passed at the last elec
tion and which takes effect May 1.
This special commltteo will have
charge of the prohibition legislation,
and is compoaod of dry men entirely,
as follows: Norton, Thomas, Walte,
Flansburg and Hostotler. Norton,
who Is chairman, la from Polk coun
ty; Thomas Is from Box Butto and
Sheridan counties; Walte from Lan
caster, and Hosteller from Buffalo.
That these .men havo a hard Job in
prospect is evidenced by tho fight al
ready being made between the "bone
drys" and the plain "drys".
The committee on committees de
cided to perpetuate itself thruout the
session in order to take care of the
sifting committee and any others
that may be needed. In 1915 there
was trouble near the end of the ses
sion when it was found that no pro
vision had been made for other com
mit tees, and this year tho commit
tee decided to prepare for any emer
gency. It was understood that none
of its members would bo allowed to
serve on the sifting commltteo.
