WELL ATTENDED LAST NITE
The grading of the first link of the!
Potash Highway, from Alliance to
Antiorh. continues rapidly and,
should be Well along before cold
weather sets in. The final survey of
the road right-of-way showed that
the new lines of telephone poles of
the Nebraska Telephone Company at
some points occupied the center of
the right-of-way. The telephone
company has been moving the line
and has had a crew of twenty men
at work working It at one side of
the new road. The addition of the
Bayard gravel top dressing should
put the road In excellent shape and
will undoubtedly make It the most
popular auto driveway In and out of
Alliance.

is at the hospital convalescing from
the effects of a recent operation for
appendicitis. ."Ous" as he is famil
iarly known has been. It seems, pur
sued by ill luck for several months
past. In October last year he was
injured; a fewweeks later he suffer
ed an attack of the Influenza which
laid him up for several weeks and
hardly had he recovered from this
until be was again injured: then a
short time ago he went through a
seige of smallpox and from this he
barely gained normal .health again
until he was forced to undergo an
operation for appendicitis. We are
glad to report that he is getting along
nicely and will, It is to be hoped,
soon again be a well man.

Dick Kenner, former Alliance
railroad conductor, who Is now
farming near Hemingford, met with
an accident last Sunday that caused
him to take an enforced vacation.
Dick has been growing rather husky
since his strenuous farm life has
been occupying his time, with the
result that when one of the Heming
ford ball teams needed a strong man
on the nine they selected him. They
say that the game was a regular
whirlwind with Dick at the center
all the . time. - Finally, after emerg
ing from one particularly bad mlxup
It was discovered that he had broken
a rib, skinned his nose, barked his
shins and sprained a wrist. After
he recovers from his injuries It Is
expected that he will receive an offer
from the White Sox or the Cubs to
help them win the penant.

Every day we are called upon to
meet the challenge of Christian
service. We read in the Book that
the first converts in the City of Jeru
salem "continued steadfastly". They
bad a singleness of purpose. "This
one tllng I do", was characteristic
of the Apostle Paul. Are we doing
the facr'ficial serf loo that those dls
c ivies did? The minister's sermon
subjects for next Lord's Day are:
"Commendation and Condemnation",
and "A Single Purpose". These are
sermons that every member of the
congregation should ' hear. All
services will be held at the usual
time. Those who attend regularly
are getting much benefit for each
service is planned to educate and
edify. The mid-week service of the
Church on Wednesday evening is
one of the most Important. Avail
yourself of these splendid opportun
ities for soul growth and come to the
church with a message and a wel
come. S. J. EPLER, Minister.
The dance given at the Armory
last evening by the Jazi orchestra
was well attended and a splendid
evening enjoyed by all present. The
sight was an ideal one for the trip

interest is In no ways lacking among
the younger set: The armory has

BELOVED OF TOBACCO USERS
la Meerschaum, Smokers Acknowledge
That One Good Thing Has Com
Out of Turkey.
Eskl Schelr, In Asiatic Turkey, has
oe unique claim upon public in
terest, and If one Is a smoker that
dalro Is a compelling one. It Is the
home of meerschaum. Meerschaum
fa abundance Is found only on the plain
of Eskl Schelr, and this city produces
an the marketable meerschaum In the
world. .
Meerschaum, as Its name implies. Is
opposed to be petrified sea foam, and
lias been discovered floating on the
Black sea. Apart from the Eskl Schelr
mines It occurs In Greece, Samoa,
Spain, Moravia, Utah, Pennsylvania,
and. In conjunction with serpentine,
tn Norway and South Carolina.
The ancients are said to have used
It as a decorative stone In buildings,
and this seems to have been confirmed
by the recent excavations in Corfu. It
Is soft and whitish, and becomes mal
leable like clay when soaked In water.
Meerschaum used to be considered
mere curiosity by the Turks, who had
ao other use for It than as a substi
tute for fuller's soap. The story runs
that the Turkish ambassador at the
Austrian court, In the eighteenth een
tnry, was a native of Eskl Schelr.
Wanting to help his city at a time of
great poverty, he took a sample of this
Seer stuff to Vienna, thinking that
e "Franks," as all foreigners were
then called, might have some use for
It, The Germans were quick to see
Its utility for pipe bowls, but declared
ft was good for nothing else.
More than a century has confirmed
this Judgment, for who has yet discov
ered any other use for meerschaum T
for pipe making it Is an Ideal raw
material Here Is a stone which Is
easily molded when, wet, and when
dry becomes hard and resists fire.

Considerable damage was done to
grazing range In the western portion
of the county by the prairie fires
which covered several sections last
week. Prairie fires In this portion of
the west are so rare that they are
hardly expected. However, when one
does get started, through the careless
ness of some unthoughtful person, It
requires a lot of hard work on the
part of many to get It stopped. The
person who Is guilty of starting a
prairie fire through carelessness Is
as responsible as the person who
starts a forest fire in the forests of
the west. - ;
