(Mr. Thomas found that there were 128 words in tnc articles sud- In the contest. In addition i this, over S00 Nebraska newspa- r published an article submitted them in plate form by the West- a Newspaper Union containing 5, words. This made a total of fjiTf.fOO words printed in these lrs in addition 10 ine aruciB suo- ti in the contest.

Con- ring that the total expense to tern Nebraska consisted or oniy a few hundred dollars donated by Um different towns it is easily to be m0 that the trip was a good lnvest jsgpt for this end of the state. gtnntng of this war, more than two and a half years ago, we began to build an organisation, to enlarge our factories for greater production and. In fact, add every facility that would enable us to serve the greatest de mands the government could make upon us and still not affect our reg ular trade channeds. In fact, our offer of the entire Goodrich resourc es to the Government some weeks ago was made with this very thought in mind and while wn have not yet been called upon, we desire to re affirm this offer at this time and stand ready and willing to cope with al most any situation that may confront us. This, we believe is what consti tutes a real service to our Govern ment, for we are now capable of equipping the present army of the Unl'od States with rubber shoes or boots within five ordinary working days and still not neglect any of onr established trades." It is unfair to the leather s hoeto draw a comparison between It and the one made of rubber, for rubber footwear has been proven to outwear even the hobnailed soles and heels of the leather shoe. It is possible hat what might be called a 'war em ergency' will bring the Amercian peo ple to a full and complete realisa tion of the wearing qualities of rub ber. Their motrr cars are equipped with rubber tires, not loather. Why, then should rubber footwear not bo come practical? An answer to this will be found when the extreme short ge of leather-built shoes will de mand that those made of rubber be adopted. You Need a Spring Laxative Or.

The seventh community concert was held Sunday afternoon at the Phelan opera hou?e It was greet ed by the usual large attendance. The concerts are always well attend ed and the Interest in them has been strong from the very start. An effort will probably be made to continue the holding of the con certs every two weeks during the summer. A proposition is on foot to secure funds with which to erect suitable seats under proper roofing at the city park. The Idea Is to pro vide a place where Alliance residents and residents of this section of the county can go on a Sunday afternoon and enjoy themselves In the shade while listening to well-prepared pro- grams as wen as tailing pari in me community' singing. The oroKram as Eiven last Sunday was as follows: Selection orchestra. Singing Suwanee River. Singing Coming thru tho Rye. Selection High School Chorus. Cornet Solo, "The Holy City" Mrs. Theo.

Hicks, secretary of ihe lo cal civil service board, has been in formed by the United States Civil Service Commission that there is urgent emergency need for mechan ics at the navy yards at Portsmouth, N. H.. Norfolk, Vs.. Philadelphia. Pa., Charleston. 8. C.. and Boston. Mass. It is expected that there will be a considerable increase in the number of men needed In the near future. Persons who are employed through the Commission to fill these vacancies are given an opportunity to sign sn agreement to serve for six months, the government agreeing to bear the expense of transportation to the place of employment and to put them to work at the maximum rate of pay for their trade, subject to re rating as to pay within ten days up on ability actually shown. The rates of pay given are for eight On account of the bad weather two of the series of meetings sched uled to have been held at farm homes in Box Butte county last week were called off. iThe Wednesday and Thursday meetings were not held. Although the roads were very bad eighteen women met on Monday with Mrs. M. G. Wambaugh. Tues day nineteen women met at the home of Mrs. L. M. Beal, one woman driving twelve miles to attend the meeting. The Wednesday and Thursday meetings were called off. Friday the meeting held at the Price home near Hemingford was well attended. Miss Rohkar, the woman county agent, spent Saturday in the office of the county agent at the court house. The next series of meetings will be held the week start ing Monday, May 21. "As the men have been carrying on co-operative demonstration pro jects relating to the growing of po tatoes, oat smut control, etc., so the women now Bince a wheat shortage faces us have expressed their will ingness to try substituting other cereals for bread making," states Miss Rohkar. "Such comblnationb as rye and cornmeal, potato and white flour, cornmeal and white flour, oatmeal and white flour, wheat mush and white flour, for bread mak ing will be tried out," says Miss Rohkar. She continues, "These re ceipts will probably be available the latter part of the month. "The planning of meals when food is so expensive is being stuaiea oy every progressive house keeper. Ev erywhere one can read suggstions for saving waste and of how to cut down on the high cost of living by vrnvinL' :i carden. However, the woman who has a number of grow ing children in the family has anoth er problem to deal with. She must see that her children are provided with the proper foods that will mane them in later life strong, healthy men and women, regardless some times of cost. The man is a mighty fortunate man and the children also sit down at the table and eat everything placed there without having to worry about indigestion and stomach trouble. Instead of us ing medicine the up-to-date woman provides her family with the foods that are laxative and sees that the foods furnish bone-building and iron-forming niuterial. "When there are children in the family, would it not be better to plan the meals to suit the needs of the growing children instead of suiting the needs of the father? But Am erican women usually plan for the father. It is true that the father us ually works hardest and needs heavy foods, but if the children are requir ed to eat foods suited for the father, In all probability it will mean diges tive troubles for them in later life. Plan the meals providing easily di gested foods for the children and the father and mother can adjust their needs accordingly. For example, avoid the use of too much meat, a greater use of eggs, milk and cheese is much better for the growing child. In using vegetables prepare them by creaming; avoid frying potatoes baked, boiled or mashed are much healthier. A man does not care for fruit but see that the child har plen tv of fruit. Plan the dessert for the child, a baked or soft custard, sponge rake rlee nuddlne. apDle sauce, is much better for the child than pie HELP WANTED MALE The following-named kinds and numbers of employees are needed at this time at the government arsen als indicated: Watertown Arsenal, Watertown, Mass. 5 blacksmiths $3.26-3.84 20 chippers 2.48 10 blacksmi.bs' helpers 2.16-2.48 2:. laborers 2.16-2.24 4 turret lathe operators 3.12-3.26 Chippers should be able to han dle chisels operated by compressed air hammers to trim gates, risers and fins from steel castings.
