Tho shipment of pota-toes from
western Nebrimkii in comparatively
light thM duyn, there beitiK two
causes. The first In the low price offer
Ml by the buyers and middlemen and
the neeond Is the cold weather which
prevents hauling without danger of
freezing.
Potato men of the state of Washing
ton want a standard grading law.
Efforts are being made by carload
shippers of potatoes, assisted by
some of the leading growers of the
tate, to secure the enactment of com
pulsory state grading rules at the
coming session of the Washington
legislature. W. M. Tease, of the
Turner-Venae Co.. Wholesale butter
and rct and pioneer house of Went
m avenue, has consented to intro
duce the bill and to sponsor it should
a fight develop. It is claimed rrom
the marketing end of the trade that
state erading rules is the one thing
needed to place the market of this
State on a high level to bring bent
prices to grower and lowest to eon
snmers. Unite! States standard grading
rules, it Is stated, will be used. It in
probable that a system of Inspection
under state supervision, possibly by
officers now at work in the Depart
ment of Horticulture, will be neces
sary to Insure proper branding of
sacks and other containers It has
been agreed that the government
rules will work no hardship, but will
eliminate much stock'tbat is unfit
for human consumption that now
Roes into sacks either to be sold with
other spuds ','as is" or graded out, at
loss by the Jobbers. In raising and
Insuring the standards the consumer
would get more good stock, resulting
in a reduced approximate cost, while
Increased demand in shipping and
other centers' would produce gradu
ally higher returns to the groweia, it
Is believed by dealers. The resuHs of
grading rules in Washington apples
are beng pointed out in support of the
measure,

EARLYJNJNEXT YEAR
Plan Now Heing Made for First in
hibition of Its Kind for Western
Nebraska
The Alliance Creiimery Company
has just cause to he proud of the re
cord made during ihe year Just about
to rlose. In compiling figures of
eompoj hi iv statement of production
for the year 1917 and 1918, Mr. W
B, Spencer manager, finds that th
output and snle of "Diamond" butt"
will thlB year exceed that of last by
ut leas: 100,000 pounds. This gain
on the average annui.l production of
nhnut one-half million pounds is in
deed a splendid gain, and if figure,
at an average price of sixty cents per
pound, it means that $60,000 ad
dltlonal revenue has thus been diver
ted to the' business channel of Alii
ance and western Nebraska,
Along with the showing made In
this department the company has en
joyed a great business for Its other
products, artificial ice and ice cream.
"Cream shipments are a little
stronger than normal," said, Mr
Spencer, "and with the present higti
price of cream the fnrmer and dairy
man should market every pound
possible." The company is paying
this week, 69c per pound f:tr butter
fat delivered at the cremery here
and thereby the people of the com
munity again have a decided advant
age. Without the creamery at this
place they would receive only such
an umount as would enable the buy
ers to pay transportation charges,
cost of handling and a resonable com
mission for their services. In other
words the people of Box Butte county
who market their products in Alli
ance receive from four to five cents
per pound above that received by
those who reside in localities where
the cream must be handled severul
times before reaching the creamery.
And at the same time, they are help
ing build up the Community by co
operation with ts DOIlBtfM interests.
The Alliance Creamery Is already
one of the big manufacturing con
cerns of this section of the state and
Its stride forward is remarkable.
Responsible for this progress is the
spirit of cooperation always shown
by the management and -the fair,
square treatment accorded those who
ire the producers and who are at the
same time rapidly developing the
dairy business of western Nebraska.
Secretary W. D. Fisher of the Al
liance Community Club is now busy
perfecting plans for the staging of
the first Automobile show to be Ireld
in western Nebcaska at Alliance early
next year. Temporary arrangements
provide for the holding of the exhibi
tion in the new. garage building of
the Coursey & Miller firm on West
Third stree.
Those interested propose a dis
play of motor care that will be second
to none. Pleusure cars of every des
cription, as well as motor trucks of
all sizes, are to be shown and their
virtues from the spark plugs to the
starting and lighting devices explain
ed. And, last but not least by any
means, an opportunity for Alliance U
coiwince the nfi nufaeturer.i of Ks ad
vantages as a distributing center for
an important and growing industry.
Western Nebraska will look forward
to the coming of the event which
should henceforth become an annual
affair.

deem advisable.
For some time the question -jf
whether or no the teachers were to

th opinion that to do bo was contrary
to the statutes of the stute. After a

Claude Rennau, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Henry Rennau, well known A
liance people, was wounded in Octo
'ber during a battle on the American
front. He Is now located In a base
hospital and writes a cheering letter
to his parents under date of Novem
ber 12th, telling of his condition and
wound :
Somewhere in France. Nov. 12, 1918.
Dtltr Mother and All:
I will write vou a few lines to let
you know that I am alright and u
tinn along tine. 1 am in an American
base hospital and am treated tine
and liettinn plenty to eat three tin.es
a day. I don't know how long I will
be Here but the chances are I Will
have to stay In bed a week or so yet
and Kt the hospital about a month or
cix weeks. 1 did not tU you how I
was wounded yet.
I was in a small ravine with a
bunch of reserves. Jerry had been
trying to drop some shells In there
all morning and finally ho put one
right in the center of the ravine
about twenty feet from where I was.
I got hit about 20 feet from where I
was; once inthe calf of leg: once on
the knee and then In the thigh. But
the pieces were all small and did not
do much damage, but they sure put
some "holes" in me at tbe hospital,
taking out the pieces and cleaning
out the bruised flesh. 1 nave one
piece to bring back a "made in Gar
many" souvenir.
I have had a great time over her-
and also some hard work and hard
times but I don't regret coming over
one bit. I have slept In a pup tent
ever since I landed and sure did sleep
enwhen I got into a bed at the hos
pital.
Well, I have written about all I
can think of at this time. Write me a
letter to this hospitaltand I will take
a chance on getting K. You can also
send one to the regiment and I will
be pretty sure to get one of them.
Well. I will close hoping to hear
from you soon and sending love to all
