The coroner's InqueBt held on Wed nesday of laBt week brought out nothing more than what Is printed above with the exception that It was shown beyond doubt that the train crew exerted every possible power to avert the collision and the railroad was therefore not at fault The Jury's verdict exonerated the road from any blame.

I). Fisher, f the Alliance C'mmunily flub, has decided tnat if there are sufficient numbers interested and they wi'.kfor mulate some more dc(l:.lte. plans or perfect nn orjianizattn, tliat ihe club will associate with them in making a thorough Investigation of the cost and merits of such a plant. ' Such a plant is used for the separ ation of the elements of water in vegetables from the solids, leaving a product which weighs about one fifth what the weight in the natural state would be an still containing the entire food value of t he vegetable. Uy Hie process employed, the finish ed product is marketable In paper cartons, and fully prepared for the housewife's cooking. Potatoes, for in stance, are peeled, sliced and put through the process which leaves them virtually dried. When the housewife 'gets them she simply soaks them in water for a couple of hours and cooks them in the usual manner and when served it is claim ed that it Is impossible to discern them from potatoes handled In the ordinary manner. The benefit of such a process Is mainly in the greatly reduced cost of transportation. As Is stated above, four-fifths of the weight is thereby eliminated and therefore freight costs reduced to a minimum. In western Nebraska where potatoes are grown, extensively and freight rates enter strongly Into the profitable marketing of the same such a plant should prove a real benefaction. The cost of putting the vegetables through the process is nominal it is claimed and will amount to less than the amount saved In the reduction of transportation costs. Secretary Fisher will be glad to ex plain fully this proposition to those who are interested, and may latter arrange for a trip to Fort Collins, Colorado, where such a plant Is in operation, that first hand informa tion may be had. NATION WIDE CAMPAIGN STARTS ON FRIDAY i Sale of Wer Savings Stamp to St rat on ItcnjiMiiin Franklin s llirtli- . day January 17th Word haB been received by State Director Kountze that the 1919 War Savings Campaign will be opened actively by a nation-wide celebration on January 17, the anniversary of the birth of Benjamin Franklin, whose portrait appears on the new War Savings Stamps, Series of 1919 Plans are that the campaign for the sale of War Savings Stamps will be started In Nebraska on this day. The plan is to have each War-Sav ings Society In the state meet on January 17th and have every mem ber sign a new membership applica tion card on which will be stated the number of Wer Savings and Thrift Stamps which they feel they can purchase during 1919. The members will also receive full instructions for closing the 1918 business on old cards. All members are earnestly request ed to be present at this meeting of their Society. Nebraska was the only state to go over the top, and to again secure this enviable position every one must do his share as was done for the year 1918. If you can not at tend this meeting get in touch with your Secretary and tell him how much you will subscribe for the com ing year. The Government has announced that all individuals who are not now members of a War Savings Society will be expected to join a society on or before January J7th. Secretary Glass at a conference with business men, educators and publicists from the twelve federal re serve districts, who will have charge of the 1919 War Savings .and Thrift campaign, stated the war will not be over until the Untited States had met all Us obligations.

KIDNEYS WHO WILL PAY T1IK IlOX IlirTTH IIO.MH G CARDS Although the city 'council men were of the unanimous opinion that the Uox llutte Home Guards should be paid for the service rendered by them during the influenza epidemic CHrly in the winter, they took the position that this obligation rested upon the county. Discussion brought out the statement that the guards had been called out on remiout onH that the mayor agreed totake Juris diction over them as police with the uiiuermaiHiing that they were to be paid from elsewhere than the city treasury. It Is nou n tt i w.cit ! n . i . i duuu ua uj wueiner or not Graham had authority to call I uul me Kuaros who thoroughly policed the city during the epidemic and as to who will pay for the time Ihoy spent in doing so. A number of the boys laid off from work. It is the general feeling that they should be liaid for the time spent. The bill of about $700 was first presented to the county commissioners who took the stand that their work was purely police duty for the city of Alliance and that Ihe city should pay.
