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.
The lineup was as follows:

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.
