THE ALLIANCE (NEBRASKA) HERALD
"I Want to See Every Wage Worker Own His Own Home."
1 -
This is a direct plea from the Secretary of Labor to every WORKING MAN AND WOMAN IN THE UNITED STATES. The Secretary of Labor knows, from his own early experiences, that
it is possible for every working man to own his own home. He knows, further, that homes are not created by chance, but by hard and persistent effort. Homes bring self respect; homes in
culcate the habit of thrift; and homes are the very foundation for your future usefulness AS AN AMERICAN CITIZEN.
THE HARDEST THINQ IN GETTING A HOME IS IN WpRKINO YOUR DETERMINATION TO THE STARTING POINT. After making the start the rest, is easy. LET US
HELP YOU WITH THE STARTING POINT. HOME BUILDERS

THE LUMBER DEALERS BOOST
"BUILD NOW" CAMPAIGN
Give Move Added Impetus When
They Announce Reduction of
lletati Prices on Material
The lumber dealers of Alliance
hare done much to stimulate the
"bvild now" campaign when they an
nounce a reduction in the retail pric
es of lumber. Action was taken
this week by the managers of the
three local yards to make the prfces
a much lower as Is possible at this
( time, that the work' might be encour
aged.
While the costs of lumber and
tiding materials were not adranc
4 by, the war-time conditions as
were the vposts in some other lines,
there has as yet been no lowering of
these costs to the retailers and the
action taken by the local dealer
comes therefore as a direct result of
desiring to assist id the work
building up the community and Is by
the samp rignt very commendable. -If
there is one thing needed in Al
liance more t' an another it is the
erection of a number of modern rest
cence buildings. Seldom does a day
pass but that some one calls at this
office seeking a house, furnished
rooms or some sort of residence, ac
oommodatiena Many, no doubt,
who would otherwise locate in the
oity, leave because of their inability
to find suitable quarters. Others
who though they manage to live
. cramDed into one or two rooms
v would be only too glad to buy or 6
rent a home were such to be had
The Community Building Association
is to build ten new houses, bu ten is
greatly insufficient. This number
. will, of course, relieve the situation
i to an extent, but fifty would be none
, too many. A number of local peo
pie have expressed their intention to
build in the near future and some of
them have already made preliminary
plana for such, while ' others have
awaited a hoped-for drop In the cost
i of materials. A marked drop can
not be hoped for, we believe, in ;tbe
very near future. Local dealers dp
not see signs that would Indicate
such a change, but they have come
forward with a plan that means
much to the prospective builder, to
the community- and to themselves in
that in assisting so materially - in so
important a move they show a splen
did spirit of co-operation toward
their fellow citizens and boosters.
By all means the campaign for more
houses to be built now should be
pushed with all vigor. Many fold
will be ttie good derived therefrom,
and among the many benefits surely
, the employment of the returned sol
dier boys Bhould receive due consid
eration. "Build houses build NOW!"

IS THE WAR OYER?
"The war Is over rather I should
Bay it Is simply a lull In the storm."
Such is the comment of Premier
CWraenceau of France on the present
situation. What does he mean by
such a statement? Just this that
while the victory has been won, there
yet remains the necessity of making
it good. -
Orderly government must be es
tablished, anarchy must be crushed,
if the future peace of the world is to
be assured. Hunger Is today breed'
ing anarchy in over half the world
Serbia Is being fed by the British
armies, Russia is out of the produc
ing game, the new Ctecho-Slbvak
republic is crying for food.-wiWIons
of acres of land in France have been
devastated, millions of producers
have been killed. If the world is to
be a safe place in which to live, Am
erica must produce.
American farmers patriotically an
swered the call for Increased produc
tion last fall and saved the day. It
is estimated that this year's harvest
will be greater inasmuch as a greater
acreage has been planted. Thus the
American farmers replied Jo the ap
peal to produce. .
There is a nation-wide shortage of
farm labor. To meet Just such
emergencies, to produce seasonal la
bor for the farmers of the nation, the
U. S. Boys' Working Reserve was or
ganized. Town, city and country
boys from sixteen to twenty-one are
enrolled in the Reserve. (
In November, 1918, nearly forty
thousand Nebraska boys registered
for agriculture service, placing their
labor at the disposal of the farmers,

experience on the farm are being

to build factories. With these nu

CERTAIN jobbing salesmen are circulating
reports to the effect that Armour and Company
. control certain retail grocery stores or are plan
ning to enter into the retail grocery business, . "
DCDO
0
Thete report hrw utterly '
and ab$oiutely false. We de
sire to brand them as such once
and for all. Armour and Com
pany do not control any retail
grocery etore wholly, or in
part' Neither have we any affili
ation or connection in any way
whatsoever with any owners of
any retail grocery stores. Armour v
and Company have no inten
tion of engaging in the retail .
grocery butineu:
Armour and Company distri- ' .
bute and sell a very limited num
ber of food lines not directly pro-'
duced from livestock. This is only
the result of natural evolution.
Our system of distribution and
marketing must be- maintained
with the greatest possible effi
ciency. It is necessary, for reason
of economy, that it handle as great
volume at all seasons as possible. ,
This same distributive system
enables us to carry staple foods to
the people of this country with .
greater efficiency and at a cost
that Is low commensurate with
.the service. If our facilities are
such that we have been able to
serve the public more economi
cally and efficiently han our com
petitors, then it is the retailer and
consumer who benefit.
y armour and Company are more ,
than packers. They are food pur
veyore. But, our participation in
grocery lines represents only 4.6
per cent o( our total business.
Yet, wholesale grocery houses
whose representatives spread
' these false reports are, themselves,
engaged in numerous side-lines
far removed from edible products.
A recent bill of goods which we
purchased from a wholesale gro -cer,
contained more than forty
items, not one of which could
be used for food except by
an ostrich.
Reports of our engaging, or in
tending to engage, in the retail
grocery business are, without ex
ception, untrue. In the words of
Mr. J. Ogden Armour, "We have
no intention of adding the woes of.
retailing to the burdens of mana
' factoring and distributing."
Armour and Company will con
tinue toregardaUretaOers as our co
workers. Dy means of our refrig
erator cars and our branch houses
it will be our effort to continue to
provide them with the finest foods
of all kinds that we can select and
prepare' under the quality mark
of the OVAL LABEL.
