Taper from corn husks is the latent
and to be hoped promising proposal.
England is to have a "standard $12
suit of clothes" for men. Wish we
could get 'em for that and up to
standard, too.
It Is good to hear that the nhlp
crisis Is past and thr-.t the percentage
of production over loss Is Increasing
steadily.
The warm welc me to American
soldiers in French homes, or which
so many of their letters tell, is a gift
from France that we can noi too
highly apreclate.
Thursday night. March 7th, at the
PhslSB. Open House, tbt annual ban
iurt of the community club will be
held. The ladles of the Red Cross
will serve the dinner. The commit
tee in charge of the program have ar
ranged for several good speakers,
their talks will be on topics of pee
ial Interest to nil. The secretary will
make his report for the past year and
outline the work accomplished. As
the tern of directors, s. w. Thomp
son, K. W Harris and Hen J. Sallows
expire next wek. directors for the
ensuing year will le elected
tl n- will he a limited amount
of room at the hull, it would aid Sec
retary Fisher in preparing reeoinada-
t ions, if all Interested would call nt
the Community Club office, or phone
74. to make reservations, ah citizens
of Alliance and community, ladles as
well as men. are cordially invited to
attend this big event of the year.
La Follotte is suing a club in his
home town for expelling him. Is the
Senate's hesitation to do likewise due
to the fear of some similar proce
dure on the part of Its braeen and de
fiant member?
Treasury receipts from war-saving
etamps have passed the fifty million
mark, with present sales of about
$11,000,000 a week and the promise
of a vast sum by the end of the year.
Doubtless the five thousand Ameri
can Indian.', who are to fight for
Uncle Sam are dreaming of the Eli
sor's scalp, hut they will be disap
pointed. For the Kaiser keeps far
ther out of range than even tn crown
Prince.
According to a theologian, though
we leave behind us all that we possess
when we t'o to another world, we take
with us "all that we are." Obviously
the taking may bo an even greater
disaster than the leaving.
o
rThe attack on Verdun started Feb
ruary 21. 1916. Two years of
laughter without a thing to show
for It, in spite of German 'efficiency"
and a Crown l'rince. The 100 air
raids on London, except in the kill
ing of some women and children,
have been equally barren of results
now a workable plan of unified con
trol of all the armies of the Allies.
It is equally satisfactory to learn
that the American army is meadily
growing as well as winning golden
opinions. General Pershing was re
cently quoted as saying thai up to
date double the expected number of
American troops had uaf-ly arrived
In France, and of the quality of these
young Americans who have gone to
fight for their country's safety and
the world's freedom a British corres
pondent of the New York Times says:
"They are only and Infinitely too
good for the filthy work German ag
gression requires of us."
A PITTfTTIi
SIM 'TACIiE
For the Russian people in renernl,
helpings nrlstocracy or Ignorant peas
nats, open-minded observers can feel
only pity. They are little more than
drift in the storm of chaos that over
whelms their counlry now torn with
innumerable divisions of cvniiment
and purpose. Hut the boastful,
moonshine-chasing and seemingly
self-seeking men who have risen to
leadership in Runala excite cc.ntempt
and wrath rather than pity. Wnother
they were bought by Germany or not.
they have played the 0.rmrn game.
Professing democracy In its most
radical extremes, they have surren
dered their country Into fne tiands of
the most autocratic, brutal and
liberty-hatine of governments. They
abolished war and legislated peace,
yet they carried on sercc war with
half a do en elements or sections of
their own country. They demoblized
only the army opposing the German
advance and then, after loud pro
nouncements of what they would and

ONE MORE DRI NK
Friday night C. Henderson of Wyo
ming, stepped off the train at Alliance
more or less In a jubilant frame of
mind. His spirits did not agree with
him. so night officer Stafford took
him to the coop to sleep it off. Hen
der son got off lucky the next morn

in him. the evidence not being ob
tainable the Judge was only able to

About Constipation
Certain articles of diet tend to
' check movements f the bowels. The
i most common of these are cheese,
tea and boiled milk. On the other
hand raw fruits, especially apples and
bananas, also graham bread and
! whole wheat bread promote a-move-
ment of the bowels. When the bow
els are badly constipated, however,
the sure way Is to take on or two of
Chambertaln's Tablets Immediately
after supper.
DRILL OPENS DEPOSIT OF
POTASH AND SALT
The Black Canon Oil and Gas Co.
which recently encountered an enor
mous flow of gas at 250 ft. in a well
drilling at Austin, near Delta, in Del
ta county, Colo, made a very import
ant discovery but not of the kind first
anticipated. An analysis shows that
it is a mineral gas with a predomin
ance of potash and salts.
James duce, State Oil Inspector of
Colorado, says that the well un
doubtedly opened a commercial de
posit of potash and high grade pre
serving salt which the company will
utilize by pumping. Plans are under
way for to build a plant for treating
the product. The gas flow has been
controlled and futher drilling is in
progress. While the potash and salt
deposit is considered by the company,

According to the dean of St. Paul's
Cathedran. Detroit, this war has pro
duced only three great men the
Kaiser who stands for autocracy..
Trotzky for revolution, and President
Wilson for democracy. The great
ness of the first two recalls that of
the leading figures in Milton's Para
dise Lost.
A Berlin editor fears that spy
hunting in this counrty has "made
life hard for many brnve Germans.
A spy is supposed to be man enough
to take the consequences, but appar
ently complaint of ill usage in behalf
of German spies begins as soon as
detectives are known to be on their
track
The moment It was announced
that we were succeeding In shipping
the needed food to our allies the pro
German pull-backers began to pro
duce evidence that, while we are
denying ourselves, our allies are
wastefully living on the fai of the
fat of the world. They may think
they can put it over, but It t8 too
transparently silly for the intellect
ual appetite of even the most gullible.

THE AMERICAN
PART
It was natuarally supposed that In
purely military matters, plans of gen
eral management and general offen
sives, that the more exDerleneed
French British by common consent
vast cessions of territory
The resul t of it all is that the
Germans are marching tnro a help
less disarmed Russia, confident of
breaking that country to ftiefr will
and accomplishing in the east what
they can no longer hope to accom
plish in the West As fewer German
troops can now be released for ser
vice on the west, the allies have in
so far gained, but this gain may be
more than offset by the employment
of Russia as a basis of German sup
plies. Meanwhile the world can only
pity and wonder at the tragedy which
the leadership of fool-theorists has
brousht upon the ereat Slav nation.
THE PATRIOT'S
TINT
According to the showing or Fuel
Commissioner Garfield, his industrial
shut-down in 28 States accomplished
great things. Aside from the enor
mous saving of coal, it relieved the
congestion of the railroads, bunker
ed 480 long-waiting shtps, and sent
two million tons of supplies to Europe
On the other hand, some or those who
clamored so loudly against the shut
down estimate that the coal saved
cost American industry no less than
$289 a ton. the loss to manufactur
ers and wage earners being represent
ed as enormous. Undoubtedly In
dustry's loss was grea. but It might
have been ten times as rreat and still
not be worthy of mention beside the
Incalculable gain Involved in the re
lief of railroad congestion, tne bunk
ering of all those waiting ships, and
the dispatch of vast wsr supplies to
Europe, to say nothing of the conser
vation and carrying of coal to thou

Artificial Light.
It Is quite possible to do success
ful photography by artificial light, ifl
fact many professional photographers
nowadays, employ artificial light ex
clusively for portrait work, for the rea
son that it is more dependable and
more easily controlled than daylight
But naturally S very powerful light,
from 200 candle power upwards, must
be employed so as to avoid having to
prolong the exposure unduly. With s
kerosene lamp, portraiture would bs
out of the question, but one might
make photographic studies of still life
subjects (fruit, flowers, etc.), with sucli
uu Uluminant. Using a leas work
ing at (say) F8. and presuming th
light from the lamp was equal to about
1(1 candle power (this would be an un
usually powerful light for an oil-burn
ltK lamp), an exposure of from half
an hour to an hour would probably be
required for u still life subject, with
