Charles Hendy Jr., of Denver, gen
eral western manager for the Ford
Auto Company, visited Alliance last
week and spent some time with the
Keeler-Coursey Co., local agents. To
how the esteem in which the Ford
car is held by the soldiers In France
he recited, while here, the following
poem, taken from the American
Field Service Bulletin at Paris, en
titled Hunka Tin."
Tou may talk nhout your volturea
Whrn you're sitting round the quar
ters, But when It comes to getting bless
es in,
Take a little tip from me,
Let those heavy motors be.
Pin your faith to Henry F.'s old
Hunka Tin.
Give her essence and l'eau,
Crank her up and let her go,
Tou back flrln', spark plug foulln'
Hunka Tin.
The paint is not so good,
ad no doubt you'll find the hood
Will rattle like a holier shop en
route;
The cooler's sure to boll.
And perhaps she's leakin' oil.
Then oftentimes the horn declines
to toot.
But when the night is black,
And there's blesses to take back,
And they hardly give you time to
take a smoke,
Ifa mighty good to feel,
When you're sitting at the wheel,
She'll be running when the bigger
cars are broke.
After all the wars are past,
And we're taken home at last,
To our reward of which the preach
er sings,
When these ukulele sharps
Will be strumming Kolden hams.
And the aviators ail have reg'lar
wings,
When the Kalaer Is in hell,
With the furnace drawing well.
Paying for his million different
Kinds of sin,
If they're running short of coal,
Show me how to reach the hole.
And I'll cast a few loads down
with Hunka Tin.
Tea. Tin. Tin. Tin.
Tou exasperating puzzle, Hunka Tin,
l ve abused you and I've flayed
you.
But, by Henry Ford who made
you,
Tou are better than a Packard,
Hunka Tin.

THE PRUNE MARKET
Kearney, Nebraska. Trying to
make a fortune in speculation on
pruneB cost Mat Sibernailer, a rich
Buffalo county farmer, living near
Elm Creek, a sum said to be near
S11.000.
It is believed here that the same
gang which operated at Excelsior
.springs, St. Joseph and Kansas City
earlier in the year was the "prune
trust that got the money.
Sibernailer went to Excelsior
Springs to take the baths. A friend
of hiB says that he spent most of his
time trying to beat the prune board
at St. Joseph and took but few baths
With the lack of the latter, however,
the Buffalo county man came back
"cleaned."
His first fling at the prune market
netted him a profit. He then wired
his bank for a draft for $11,000. Al
though the is wealthy, the band re
fused to Bend it, as the deal did not
look right.
He came home and borrowed the
money at other banks, hurried back
to Excelsior Springs, and waa disap
pointed to and that the men at the
health resort who had been working
the game said it was too late.
The St. Joseph "prune king" was
leavoing town that night, be was told.
The Nebraakaa proposed that a ma
chine be hired to try and catch him
before he left. He was found at the
postosBee. St. Joaeph.
According to Sibernailer, the prune
market started to go down after he
had bought $11,000 worth of the
fruit.

AtlV. NOT.
Washington, D. C. In speaking of
the storage of potatoes, L. D. Sweet,
head of the Potato Division, United
States Food Administration, says:
"It is of great importance that all
potatoes raised this year should be
stored under proper conditions. Even
when every precaution is taken the
wastage of potatoes during the win
ter is considerable; under bad condi
tions of storage it is very great in
deed.
In order that the best methods may
be adopted by the small growers,
those who have not had the expe
rience in the storage of potatoes,
should know the chief causeB of the
wastage. These causes are:
"Sweating, heating and consequent
rot, often due to insufficient ventila
tion.
"Rotting, due to potatoes getting
wet at the time of putting them in
storage.
"Injury from frost.
"Decay, owing to disease in the
tubers at the time of storage.
"Sprouting of tuberB in the spring.
"It is not possible to prevent al
together losses from these causeB,
but by using the best methods of
storage it is possible to reduce them
very materially.
"This may be done by taking care
to guard against losees from each of
these causes:
"Sweating and heating occur if the
freshly dug potatoes are piled in too
large piles, so that the air cannot cir
culate between the tubers. The risk
of loss from this cause is greatest in
the fall, immediately after the tubers
have been dug, and it is, therefore,
important that potatoes when dug
should not be put in unnecessarily
large piles, nor ket in an ill-ventilated
room.
"Rotting from getting the pota
toes wet. If the potatoes at the dig
ging timeare allowed to get wet and
to go into storage in that condition,
rotting is sure to occur. Be careful
to have your potatoes dry before
storing.
"Injury from frost. Potatoes are
easily damaged by frost. If they be
come frozen, their market value is
destroyed. Therefore every precau
tion to protect the tubers from frost
before and after digging should be
taken.
"Disease. There are several dis
eases of the potato which destroy the
tuber, and if diseased tubers are
mixed with the sound ones, the dis
ease spreads rapidly; therefore, it is
necessary to sort the potatoes care
fully, eliminating all of the disease,
the cuts, culls, and dirt before plac
ing them into permanent storage for
the winter. All of the cuts, culls,
misshapen and diseased tubers should
be fed to the poultry and live stock,
but should be steamed or boiled be
fore being fed, as in this way you in
crease the food value, and also de
stroy the germs of the dlseaae, ao
that it will not get into the manure
and thence into the land.
"By proper ventilation of the cel
lar or storage room and by holding
the temperature as near 35 degrees
F. aa possible, you can keep the pota
toes from sprouting.
"Selection of seed. Seed for next
year's planting should be selected
from hills that produce all nice, true
to type potatoes. These should be
selected at digging time, and stored
separately in crates or boxes, and by
storing them In a well-lighted room
where the temperature can be held
at from 34 to 40 degrees, with a little
ventilation and this seed planted
next spring, the grower will make a
start toward improving the quality
of his potatoes, instead of as in the
past, simply planting the culls or runouts."
II NUHl AL 1) KM A NT) FOR
HUMP-BACKED MEN
An unusual advertisement appear
ed in a Chicago paper recently, desir
ing the services of five hump-backed
men. The explanation of this strange
want is even more Interesting than
the announcement, says Popular Me
chanics. It seems that a large envelope fac
tory, unable to fill its orders, decided
to work nights as .well as days. Long
experience had demonstrated that in
the use of certain machines women
were better operators than men by
reason of their hands being more
delicate and nimble. The owner does
not believe in factory work at night
for women, and the men proved
clumsy and slow. It was then that be
set about to seek men who were well
but physically Incapable of heavy
work. He decided that hump-backs
had the necessary qualifications of
more agile and sensitize touch.

ivnowing this the pet had taken one
of the numerous American flags at
the corner and lined his nest with it,
thinking it would save the tree until

would feed him well during the win
