Ml IP iTT n irsm j" Contributed j little Friends Surpri-e Harriet Hamilton. When the morning of June 26 dawned the world did not look par ticularly bright to little Harriet Hamilton, at 519 Laramie avenue, whose tenth birthday it was, for with a quarantine card on the house that proclaimed "no admittance" It 'was impossible to celebrate in any way. Things changed at I p. m. when six teen of her little friends silently trooped, as near as allowed, and placed a dainty feast, composed of fruit in dainty baskets entwined with green leaves and wild roses, plates of sandwiches, a pitcher of lemonade, ice cream, and to make it all complete, an immense angel cake all snowy white with icing and ten red candles in red candle holders, right on the very top, out on the lawn in front of her house for her they stood across the street to greet her when she appeared, awed at what she beheld. The feast and gifts were accompanied by the fol lowing very appropriate verses writ ten by a bright little mother in the neighborhood for the occasion: When we learned that ten years ago today. The stork visited Hamilton's and left you to stay. We thought we would the event cel ebrate And In planning this party our joy has been great. We'd like, each one, to be with you today. But that card on your house sure scared us away. Don't think it was fairies who have left this surprise. For fairies aren't real like friends that you prize. And we have woven our love Into each little treat And, in spirit, we will be there with you to eat. So please act like you had lots of company, A host of your friends "in your mind" you must see. Prom a distance we greet you and wish you much pleasure And hope your happiness may be far beyond measure. And may you have a whole lot of birthdays more With each one nicer than the one just before.

This law is changed from the former law in several pro visions which must be observed by auto owners. The sertion which refers to the headlights of autos and which will compel the changing of lenses on most cars now in use provides as follows: "It shall be unlawful to use on a vehicle of any kind operated on the public highways of this state an lighting device of over four candle power equipped with a reflector, un less the same shall be so designed, deflected, or arranged that no por tion of the beam of rellectcd light, when measured 7." feet or more ahead of the lamps, shall rise above 4 2 inches from the level surface on which the vehicle stands under all conditions of load. Spot lights shall not be used except when projecting their rays directly on the ground and at a distance not exceeding 30 feet in front of the vehicle." The new law also makes the penal ty for stealing autos more severe, providing a penalty of not less than $100 nor more than $300 and Im prisonment in the county jail not less than three months, nor more than six months, with liability for double the amount of injury sustained by the car stolen. It is made the duty of every pub lic garage to keep for public inspec tion a record of the license uumbers and engine numbers of all motor ve hicles stored, repaired, sold or rent ed, the record containing the name and address of the owner of the car. Severe penalties are provided for anyone violating this provision of th la' or for anyone who defaces a cur by obliterating the number of the engine.

Dated at Alliance. Nebraska, this 27tb day of June. 1917 The Eagles' God-speed Alliance. Nebraska, June 2 7 To the Editor of The Alliance Herald: Time after time the writer has seen suggestions from various people as to the ways and means to care for the dependents and families of our brave boys who may lose their lives in this war. Permit me to submit a plan that will bo presented to the Grand Aerie convention of the Fra ternal Order of Eagles to be held at Buffalo this coming August, and which, no doubt, will be enacted in to law. At Kansas City, May 29. twelve members of Grand Worthy President Rex B. Goodsell's administration de termined to recommend to the com ing grand aerie a proposition that will surely prove the greatest patriot ic movement that has ever been put forth In fraternal history. Briefly, it is this: That those of ua that are not called to the colors shnll, during the war, each pay the sum of 10 cents per month into a common fund, under the control Of the grand aerie, for the purpose of insuring for $1. 000 the life of every man who serves in the army or navy from the date of his enlistment until the war is ov er. If he loses his life during the period of enlistment the face of the policy shall be paid to his depend ents or to his beneficiaries. To illustrate: The premium on $1. 000 for a man of 26 years, under the American experience table, the most conservative table, is $14.57. To this must be added the war risk of $37.50, making a total annual prem ium' of $52.07. Now, 10 cents a month from our 400,000 members, exempting, of course, our enlisted members, will net approximately $4 80,000 a year. In other words, we can insure between 9,000 and 10 000 members of this order each for a $1,000 life insurance policy If each will pay 10 cents a month the val ue of a fair cigar, the price of a mov ing picture show. The premium for this policy will not cost our enlisted members one cent. It is to be the gift of those of us who remain behind. It Is to be our "God-speed and good wishes" to the man who goes to the front. Could anything be more patriotic or more necessary? Is it not fraternalism ac tually transformed into something concrete and encouraging? Should it not also promote the growth and prosperity of the Fraternal Order of Fagles? It should also stop lapses. If anything will; for who would sev er his connection with an order car rying ito effect such a movement? It should increase our membership, for men now outside will in patriotic approval wish to put the seal of their manhood on what we are doing. Out of a Wide fraternal experience I say this is the high-water mark in our fraternity. How does it appeal to you, Mr. Reader? F. W. HICKS. Secretary. F. O. E. No. 136. Alliance.
