The Fourth of July whs celebrat
ed In (treat style at the old PlNll
place, seven miles south u4 Spade,
Nebr. There were some seventy-fit
persons from In and around Jen
nings in attendance. There was
something doing every minute and
some minutes there wore several
things doing One of the features
of the day was the Ih11 game. Of
COM I'M there were two sides, some of
it being the better half for men, wo
men and children were all in the
BJMM. TJiere were four women on
euch side and to say that thoy all
made good hits is putting it mildly.
The game was won by the married
folks, the Anal score being 6 to 8. A
tug-of-war between the women and
the single men was one that will be
remembered by all in attendance for
some time. It was a scream from
start to finish. There was a wide
variety of foot races, the fat men,
the married men, and the children
all taking a hand. A nail-driving
contest was held between the wo
men. Some were mean enough to
usk how the women expected to make
a hit that way. A shower came up
about o'clock, causing all to take
to the house. Bernard Schlrk of
Alliance and Harold Petus from
Plattsraouth put on a wrestling
inech. After they had worked
hard for eleht minutes the match
wan declared a tie.
o
J. D. Reilly a nd wife of Salt Lake
city, Utah, accompanied by Mrs.
Uellly's mother, Mrs. Boness, made a
trip from Atllanoe Sunday morning
for a visit at the Klrt Sowers home
at Jennings. Mrs. Sowers is a sis

day in a Ford and had a fine trip
looking over the cattle country. Mr.

tiled t-Johnson Company, shoo man
ufacturers at Endicott, N. Y , in the
Salt Lake City territory. He has
been in the shoe game for the past
ten years. The trip from Salt Lake

and they expect to return Sunday,

Alliance isn't the only city In western
Nebraska which can "entertain" Its
clttftena with carnival companies.
Itanium was right. Had he been
on fhe streets of Scottabluff on the
realized that Americans of today, no
less than those fifty years ago. love
Fourth of July. 1917. he would have
to be humbugged.
Main street presented an appear
ance of a little "Midway", having
been turned over to a carnival com
pany, which wus thereby given an
excellent opportunity (o gather In
the stray nickels from those who had
a momentary contldence In their abil
ity to beat the games of chance.
Alas! Many of the boys from the
rural districts, whose pockets bulged
with the shekels squeezed from the
hungry public for two-dollar wheat,
slxteen-dollar beef, and thirty-cent
eggs, discovered loo late the rapidly
disappearing amount of change in
their "Jeans," us they very accom
modatingly handed over ti.eir dimes
for further attempts to perform the
impossible. They tried In vain to
drop the balls Into the kegs, to play
tbv races, or cover the red circle
with the tin plates. As each turned
away, they wore that familiar "stung
again" expression, so often seen near
such places.
The "educational" shows, the ever-present
merry-go-round, and the
Ferris wheel, were well patronized.
Red lemonade, peanuts, namburgers
and ice cream were procurable at ev
ery turn.
The baseball game drew the big
crowd in the afternoon. A good
clean game was played. The lirc
workH in the evening was a display
that has seldom, if ever, been equal
ed in t his part of Nebraska. After
the fireworks, u parade of automo
biles was formed and driven through
the principal, streets. About 2,000
cars took part.
The North Platte valley's prosper
ity, if measured by Its "rolling
stock," Is equal to that of any sec
Hon of the state. She may not feed
the world, but she will 'do her bit.
The three thousand acres of bean
now growing in Scotts Bluff county,
together with an increased acreage
of alfalfa, beets, spuds and wheal,
will not only help win the war, but
will add another hunk to the pros
perity of this region.
But we were talking of the cele
bration. Take It all in all. it was un
Ideal Fourth; the day was pleasant,
though very warm. Every one seem
ed in i in tu 1 1 of patriotism. The car
nival company, perhaps out of place
on the Fourth at this critical year in
our history, was enjoyed, and added
greatly to the pleasures of the vis
itors. They lacked one thing to
make their aggregation complete
They should have had a slut He of the
Immortal Barnum displayed where
the public could see it. and become
more acquainted with the author of
the slogan which is the basis for the
prosperity of ull such organizations.
