Girls, here's your chance. Ser
jeant Claude Ketter, In charge of the
Alliance recruiting station, states
that he will give a pound of good
candy to each and every girl who
brings a recruit to the army recruit
ing station at the Burlington hotel.
This is a plan that has worked suc
cessfully in Canada for the past two
years and is one that has shown good
results at some points in this coun
try. Sergeant Ketter says that he Is In
formed that In Canada a young fel
low who does not wear a uniform
has no chance at all with the girls,
and especially so at the dances. So,
girls, if you want to help your Uncle
Sum and get a box of candy at the
same time, "bring him in."

station the last of the week Sergeant

Making Hig Hit
The new Alliance Herald flag 3
feet by G feet is sure creating some
stir these days in Aliance and in this
part of the country. Everyone
seems to want one. Yes, and every
one should have one.
Your Alliance Herald expected the
handsome flag, would prove a sensa
tion, but no one expected it to go as
big as it is going. It's fun to see
the Herald solicitor. She hops in the
office and grabs a bunch of flags and
goes out and before you hardly know
it, she is back for more. Everyone
seems to realise that this is their
one great opportunity to get a great,
big, handsome flag.
The flag fills a long felt want.
Practtically every home has use for
one of these "real" flags which are
made of especially woven soft cot
ton bunting. The top of the flag has
heavy canvas with large or ass gom
mets on each end so you can fly the
flag from the staff. It's Just the flag
you have been wanting and it's Just
the flag you can get.
Your Herald has the flags, plenty
of them to last a weok or so anyway.
Another order gross of flags has been
sent for and will be here by the time
the present supply is exhausted. You
can have one of these big largo beau
tiful flags and one-year's subscrip
tion to the Alliance Herald for $2.00.
The only way you can get the flag is
by subscribing for the Herald or re
newing your present subscription.
If you haven't got the 2.00 handy
right now and your credit Is good
your Herald will enter your subscrip
tion and hold the flag for you for a
limited time until you can spare the
S2.00. If you are not a subscriber
and want to rebew or pay ahead an
other year and want the flag but
haven't the ready money, your Her
ald will hold a flag for you a limit
ed time if you so instruct us But
one thing must be understtood and
that is, your flag will ouly bo held for
you a limited time.

numerous other exponses. Every

service, and at the same time should
thoroughly inform himself about his
car and the proper manner in which
it should be handled.
