IiOYALTY .THAT IS INFINITE
The success of the Soldiers' and
Sailors' reunion and the race meet
can not but bring- to the minds of
those Interested In the success of the
undertaking and those familiar wKh
the manner in which the affairs were
handled, the work of those untiring,
always-on-the Job loyalists who early
and late, for many weeks, labored in
resanntly and without recompense
beyond, the satisfaction of believing
that their efforts would bear the de
sired reBUlt, tho boys of Tost M. T.
P. A. '
Just so soon as they became aware
of the fact that Alliance was con
templating such an event did they
cast about that they might find a
part which they could play and they
found Just what they had looked for
not one part, but many. After
thoroughly scattering the gospel of
Alliance and the program by printed
page and word of mouth they enlist
ed In the work of arranging the
many minor details; they gladly ac
cepted the responsibility of policing
the grounds and of parking the cars;
they volunteered for service in any
form and they served and served
well.
Alliance Is the pride and boast ct
these genial "knights of the grip"
and upon every occasion they have
proved the Interest they take la her
welfare. It can be as truly
said that Toet M., T. P. A, is one of
the boasts of Alliance and that Alli
ance Is proud to consider as citizens
men of such infinite loyalty and re
markable abllKy.
CREDIT TO IXMLMITTIiK.
For the first time in the history of
Alliance, an entertainment program,
great enough to attract the attention
of the entire countryplde, hivi paid
out. This, you may say, Is noi re
markable, but allow us to state
that it Is a very significant fact. It
Is such because it furnishes sufficient
evidence of the splendid work and
almost expert management put Into
the affairs of the scheme by the
committee in charge. To this com
mittee, which was composed of Mr.
John W. (Juthrle, general chairman;
Mr. EJ Bishop as speed secretary;
Rufufl Jones as secretary of the Alli
ance Community Club, which father
ed and financed the idea, and the
board of directors of the club, much
credit Is due; to it should the people
who so fully enjoyed the program
give thanks and to each member of
this committee a vote of gratitude Is
appropriate.
Alliance outdid herself upon the
occasion of this event and it has boon
the general verdict that th . racej
wre the best ever staged in. western
Nebraska. This in spile of the tact
that wather conditions Intervened
and made necessary a deviation from
the scheduled program, means much
for the good name of our city and
without a douot when again Alliance
attempts such an aftatr Mio apprecia
tion will be expressed in a still
greater material degree.
Again we wish to state "That
committee was a Hummer."
AMERICAN'S PAID LESS
A comparison of pre-war prices
with those now prevailing shows that
the increase in the cost of living in
the United States has been less than
In any other country.
A comparison between the prices
prevailing in September, 1913. ten
months before the outbreak of the
world war, with those of September,
1918, two months before the signing
of the armistice, shows that the In
crease In the United States level of
commodity prices was 107 per cent.
In Canada, the Increase was 115 per
rent, and In the United Kingdom,
111. For Franee, the comparison
was with the prices of last May, to
which time they had risen 235 per
cent.
In all the countries, the rise was
accompanied by an increase in the
amount of money in circulation and
In the amount of bank deposits. In
the United States, the per capita cir
culation in 1913 was $34.65. De
cember 1, 1918, this bad increased
62 per cent, to $56.23. During the
same time, bank deposits in -America
Increased almost threefold.
REPUBXICAN EFFRONTERY.
In a recent speech in Philadelphia,
Representative Glllett, of Massachu
setts, whom the Republicans have
chosen for Speaker, called President
Wilson a dreamer and an idealist.
More than that. Mr. Glllett said the
President "is an egoist; he is not a
man of practical affairs." And the
Republican leader added: "The peo
ple do not want a repetition, of the
Indecision, apparent atmlessne&s and
blundering of the past few years in
Washington."
The record - of the Democratic
party darln the last several years of
control will bear comparison with
that set up by the Republicans who
held the reins of government an-

Mr. Gillett's party conducted the
war with Spain. As wars go. it wasn't
much of a war; about one per cent
as our part In the world war, which
was conducted with about one hund
red times as much efficiency. It
wasn't fought long enough auo for
the public to have forgotten the em-
balmed-beef scandal, the kind of
food the soldiers ate; the plagues
that swept them away In the camps
until the death rate appalled the
country, because of poor sanitation.
or no sanitation at all, and a hope
lessly Incompetent medical service.
Nor has the country forgotten that
favoritism ruled over efficiency In
commissioning of officers; that the
expeditionary force to Cuba was
commanded by a general too fat to
walk and who had to be carried
about on a litter, and who owed his
preferment to his personal friend
ship for the Secretary of War. Com
pare the record of Chafer, In Cuba
with a handful of men, with that of
Pershing In France with two million,
and then think o the Impudence of
Republicans In mentioning such a
thing as "Indecision," "almlessness,"
or "blundering."
During successive administrations
from 1896 to 1912, Republicans
talked of banking reform; the Demo
crats established the Federal Re
nerve System: Republicans talked of
farm loans; the Democrats establish
ed the Farm Ioan Bank system
under which farmers have borrowed
nearly $200,000,000 at a low rate of
interest and on very long terms.
The Democratic administration sub
stituted deeds for words.
America's achievements in the
past two years astounded her allies
nnd overwhelmed her enemies; they
are the brightest page In history
and they were accomplish! under
the leadership of a man Mr. Glllett
has the effrontery to call a "dream
er" and an "Idealist."
ALLIANCE MEN NAMED
DISTRICT CANDIDATES
Mass Meeting Cnlled for Thl Even
ing to Select IUpreacntative
to Convention.
After a period of placid ness ex
tending from the city election this
Bpring, the muddy pool of politics is
a pain being stirred by the maneuver
ing of positions therein , by candi
dates for the Nebraska constitutional
convention to be held In Lincoln next
Winter. Citizens may soon expect
to see the announcements of leading
citizens who were "forced" or "push
ed in" by their friends and who "do
not want the offlceffl" but "if elected
would be willing to serve".
Although no petitions have as yet
been circulated, It is understood that
several 'are hiding around in pigeon
holes In desks or in the Inside coat
pockets of the poltical promoters.
A mass meeting, called by Mr. W.
R. Harper, Republican County
Chairman, for this evening at the
county court house will be attended
by those interested in selecting a
candidate to make the race. At this
meeting Democrats and Republicans
alike will be present. To this idea,
some of those thinking of making
the race do not concur, and some of
them have openly expressed a desire
to go into the campaign of such an
arrangement
Some who have been mentioned as
candidates for the office are Harry
Gants. Earl D. Mallery, J. A. Kee
gan, F. A. Bald, and Lqe Basye. Sup
porters of Earl Mallery, former state
representative and senator, have
talked him rather strongly but are
apparently fearful that he would lose
practically the entire support of the
railroad men and that his support In
Sheridan county, would be light.
They doubt very much whether he
could make the hill and hesitate to
push htm In unless he could have the
"united" support of all factions.
It la understood that Thomas L.
Brlggs. present state representative
from the district, has no intention of
filing and his friends believe his lack
of legal training would be a handi
cap to him in case he was elected.
It Is expected that there will be
one or more petitions filed from
Rushvllle by attorneys who desire to
have the experience and pleasure of
serving as members of the conven
tion. Notice to Teachers.
A' special examination will be giv
en July 27th and 18th at the Court
House In the subjects for Ufa Cer
tificates and the five essentials. To

new their certificates under the old

Sense and Nonsense
Gleaned fronr Our Weekly Study
In the Gentle Art of Gossip
By JACK IlESnilM
Who said Alliance was dry? The
horsemen claim it to be the wettest
place they have struck thus far this)
season. H 1 no, we're speaking of
weather conditions.
And now we're casting about for
another protege of the Annette Kel
lerman brand. "It pays to adver
tise". Our first "hope" has since
married.
- The car was uamaged; the lad was
struck but Where's the evidence.
The court doesn't feel inclined to
convict on information and belief.
Booze is responsible for some queer
pranks; It makes an as sout of any
otherwise smart man.
e e e e
Box Butte may be unpaved; It
may be rough and full of holes, but
it has its redeeming qualities. It
has: A rooming house boarder who
as regular as the evening shades
descend has a "show" all his own.
He Is the sole and only actor and un
aided puts on a one-act drama that is
both pitiful and interesting. Some
of these times, unless a kind-hearted
maiden comes to his relief, he's
going to get next to himself and by
experience learn' that this "kidding
yourself" is d d poor business.
But why the trip to the Rockies.
Finer sights are not to be seen than
those possible almost any evening
when the rays of the sun have ceaped
to play on the south ' Bide of the
place. Oh, boy! we'll say they're
great.
And Just for that the big "copper"
has put the old boat away for the
season. Strange (?) that he should
be asked to equip with a license tag
while others are not, but there roust
be a "fall buy" somewhere among
the bunch.
e
After using an Iowa license for a
couple of months why not finish the
season? The law's chasing boot
leggers. e e e
Alliance may now boast a couple
of white hopes?
e e
' At that, we wager the fight at
Toledo didn't compare with either of
(he battles staged right in Alliance
this week. Those who witnessed the
first encounters claim it was a sure
enough finish bout.

With all those flirts on the street
how could friend wife sleep in peace?
The "beach flirts" were some popu

There were fast horses galore and
that's all. The wild women didn't
get here we are told.
e e e e
Gee, but wouldn't the booze
hounds be sore if they knew whis
key was being imported through the
mails. For example a fellow in
Missouri, with a friend in Alliance,
fills a water bottle with the precious
bourbon and forthwith dispatches
the same, via parcel post to his Alii"
ance friend, then chuckled to him
self the satisfaction that he feels In
the safety of his consignment. Do
you believe this scheme would work?
We do and we've never tasted It
either we have no friends in Mis
souri. The state highway commissioner
at Lincoln reports that It la receiving
requests from manufacturers and
wholesalers of farm tractors asking
that permits be issued them in blank,
so that they may furnish them
their retail dealers, under the law
going into effect on July 15th, re
quiring all dealers in tractors to
secure license to sell such tractors as
may be approved by the university
engineering department. State of
ficials say this cannot be done and
that each manufacturer, wholesaler
and dealer must get his individual
license. The state university is not
going to be able to make the tests
before the first of August and until
that time temporary permits will be
issued by the commission.
A FRENCH CHILD
It was a grey-blue envelope with
the French postmark one of many
such which come to a group of
warm-hearted American men and
women who have constituted them
selves godfathers and godmothers to
the little French children made
fatherless by the war and this is
the message it held, written labor
iously by Felix Galzdire to his "god
mother" in America:
"I read your letter again and
again while watching my cows.
Jeanne d'Arc, who was only a shep
herd girl, once saved our fair
France. Now it is our brothers the
brave soldiers of America who
came to fight by the side of ours.
Dear benefactor, I watch my cattle.
Already I am brave, and In autumn
I shall go to school again."
"Already I am brave!" And only
a few brief months ago this little lad
was homeless, shuddering away from
the sight of carnage, crushed into
destitution by the merciless foes of
his country. A little help, some
cherishing words in a letter written
by an American woman, and the
bruised life was healed again.
There are thousand fid thou
sands of such little children In
France. Through the activities of
an American organzlatlon, "The
Fatherless Children or France,"
many of these perishing little folks,
like Felix Galzdire, were "adopted"
by warm-hearted Americans between
the autumn of 1917 ajid the signing
of the armistice an adoption which
Were Artists In Brick-Making.
Babylon, at the height of her great
ness, had nothing to learn from the
most modern maker of bricks In the
matter of the durability of her prod
uct; whilst the modern maker of
bricks has still much to learn 'from
Babylon in the matter of those won
derful colored glazes by which the
Babylonish brlckmaker added to the
gorgeousness of the city of Sargon and
Nebuchadnezzar.
When Actresses Were Unknown.
In ancient times actresses were un
known. The people of Elizabethan
times were perfectly content to stand
for a young male Juliet. Around ahut
ICTiO, though, Charles II of England
began encouraging women to appear
on the English stage, and since then
actresses have been appearing all over
the world with varying degrees of suc
cess. .

Grandmother kept her hair beautifully
darkened, glosy and attractive with a
brew of Sage Tea md Sulphur. When
ever her hair took on that dull, faded or
streaked appearance, this simple mixture
was applied with wonderful effect. By
asking at anv drug store for "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound," you will
get a large bottle of this old-time recipe,

This simple mixture can be depended
upon to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist says
everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and Sul

so naturally and evenly thai nobody can
tell it has been applied it's so easy to
use, too. You simply dampen a comb or
soft brush and draw it through your hair,
taking one strand at a time. By morning
the gray hair disappears; after another
application or two, it ia restored to its
natural color and looks glossy, soft an l
