Eleven hundred dollars of this amount had been raised up to noon today and the committee expect to secure an over-subscription before the final date.

Judge Tash is given power to enforce the rules estab lished one of the most Important being the observing of meatless and wheatless days. If complaints are fild it will be the duty of Judge Tash to investigate them and make reports to the office of the state food admin istrator.

"Buck" Washington, the colored man who dug up the skeleton Monday while excavating for the new sewer, felt so "mortified" over the affair that he took the night train for Chicago last night. "Buck" has the colored man's usual dislike for skeletons and he felt so "banted" after digging up the remains that he decamped for a warmer and "wetter" clime, where he can drown his memories In fre quent visits with "King Alcohol." The men who were assisting In the excavating are authority for the statement that In the coffin with the skeletin were a large number of green flies which appeared at first to be dead, but which later came to life and sped away. The whole af fair has the appearance of a deep mystery and the old-timer who comes forward with an explanation will have the thanks of a number of interested citizens. Another evi dence of the age of the coffin was the nails which had been used they were the old-fashioned "cut" nails. The Alliance postoffice will prob ably move into the new federal building shortly after t' . first of December.

The members of the Alliance Vol unteer Fire Department were enter tained at the club rooms Wednesday evening by a fine "Dutch Lunch" and smoker. A goodly number of mem bers were present and all enjoyed a good time. Plans were made for the big social entertainment to be held at the club rooms Thanksgiving night, to which all firemen and their families and friends are invited. Fred Campbell, "mayor" of Antloch, and champion booster for that thriving little potash center, Is in the city today. Fred makes some rather broad assertions, but they can be forglvin when his boosting repu tation, is considered. H- claims to day that Antloch is growing so fast that Hoffland will be annexed next sprint:, and Alliance annexed next fall, and that Lakeside has already been annexed. That's all right, Fred, there will undoubtedly be some "an nexing" done but it will probably start from the Alliance end. Jitney service between Alliance and Antioch is now an nssured fact. The spec is committee appointed at the Saturday meeting of the Retail Merchants' Federation to make a canvass of the merchants, found fif teen who will nonate five dollars each per month during a trial period as a guaiantee to the person install ing the jitney service.

Under the Mosaic code, besides many offerings, God demanded a tithe of seed and fruit, flocks and herds. Lev. 27:30, 31. Jesus com mended the ithe (Lu. 11:42) in these words: "These ought ye to have done." The sin of covetousness or retaining substance which belongs to God is condemned by our Savior in the twelfth chapter of Luke. The Apostle Paul, the great evan gelist to the Gentiles in his Corin thian letters, I Cor. 16:2 and II Cor. 9:7 admonishes Christians to give cheerfully, systematically and pro portionately. What proportion should be given? None is stated here. Sure ly no portion lees than one-tenth is expected when Jews and some other ancient peoples were accustomed to give that much. The standard of the Judgment Day Is based on "Giving." Read Matt. 25:31-46. The givers are invited to enter the prepared Kingdom; the non-givers are commanded to depart into eternal fire. Have you given to the Lord His portion? Surely no one would think that less is required of the Christian than of the Jew. When you give give us the Lord has prospered you. "Every man, according as he urposeth in his heart, so let him give, not grudgingly or of necessity, for God loveth a cheerful giver." Stephen J. Epler.

War efforts cause a large ex penditure of time an dstrcngth. Con servation of TIME and STRENGTH need to be practiced in order that health be not impaired from the strain and burden of extra work.
