THE ALLIANCE HERALD High School Notes William rullnmn, one of the for mer high school boys, who enlisted with Company "G" early In the ipring of 1917, Is now home from France. lie, like some of the oth ers, made the high school a visit, glvinir a fhort talk. One topic that eeemed to lnterctst Hill greatly was the French girls, lie Bald. "They are much like American gills, Pome of them being J-'ood looking and some of them not." Wo shall take his word for it. It seems t'at the most beautiful viris wrre mually driving a team of oxen, nnd wore law, heavy woollen shoes. Hill told of an experience with a maid of this description, and stated that Ihe oxen are not so penile as they appear. The ureal question of tho clay has been practically settled, althoimh In view of Its importance, firiher changes may be made. When one hears the name "Hay Koherts" where one has hitherto heard my aon", one wlN be able to guess the identity of the personage alluded to. On Friday of last week tho Alli ance basketball team Journeyed to ScottRbluff to take tho measure of their team. The game started with an audience of about twenty people. Seottsbluff made the first basket, but after quite a hard fight and lots of fumbling Alliance started out and made some pood baskets. At the end of the first half the score was fifteen to five in favor of Alliance. We out-played them In every point of the game, but had bard lucic In shooting baskets. At times the ref eree showed hla partiality to Seotts bluff. The game was won by Alli ance, by a score of 23-19.

KNIGHT-CAMPBELL MUSIC CO., Denver, Colo. 9 4 Why Swift & Company Handle Poultry, Eggs, Butter and Cheese Swift & Company went into the pro duce business because they saw a crying need for the kind of service they were equipped to perform. The produce business was in chaos. Collecting, transportation, preparation and distribution was hit or miss, with delay, deterioration and loss on every hand. The farmer was at the mercy of an uncertain, localized market He had no way of reaching through to the people who needed what he was raising for them. There was no prem ium upon improving his 6tocks, for grading was lax or lacking. The consumer had to accept produce that, as a rule, had no known respon sible name behind it. He had no way of knowing how long the eggs or the butter he was buying had been lying around in miscellaneous lots in the back room of a country store. Much of the poultry was not properly refrigerated before shipment or properly protected by refrigeration in transit. Swift & Company's initiative brought system to this chaos. Their organiza tion, equipment, and experience in handling perishable food products were already adjusted to the task. Their refrigerator cars, branch houses, cen tral points, far-reaching connections, trained sales force, supplied just what was demanded. Now the "farmer has a daily cash market in touch with the nation's needs with better prices. Standardi sation makes better produce more profitable. More consumers are served with better, fresher, finer foodstuffs. Nothing suffers from this save inefficiency, which has no claim upon public support. Swift & Company, U.S. A.
