In the selection, by the board of
directors of the. Alliance Community
Club, of Mr. Glen Miller a proaldent
of the club surely there In much for
commendation. Mr. Miller who was
but recently elected to the director
ate of the organization when a va
cancy was made by the resignation of
a member, is one of the good busi
ness men of Alliance and a man up
on which much responslbiltly may be
reposed. He is of the careful, con
servative, deep-thinking type of men,
who by such virtuous makes Innum
erable friends and who acompllshes
things; he is one of those upon
whom can be relied to bring about
those things that make for a better
Alliance and who never shirks a duty
as he sees it.
Mr. Miller was the unanimous
choice for the position of honor to
which he has Just been elected and
he lll be found full worthy of that
honor. To Mr. Mller and the Alli
ance Community Club the Herald
will look for great results in the con
stant fight that is being wagpd by
this worthy organization for a bigger
and better Alliance.
tiii:ik ox is ;oitia.
The fact that Alliance will, in the
near future, have a packing plant is
proving to be a thorn In the Hide of
various and sundry salesmen who
have been "working" this territory
lu the interests of other projects,
particularly several proposed pack
ing plants in other sections.
One such salesman, while calling
at the olllce of the Community Club
a few days hko, made the statwnent
that he had found it almost impos
sible to place any stock in western
Nebraska since the people bad heard
there was to be a pack In i? plant es
tablished in Alliance, and that they
would soon have the opportunity to
subscribe to stork In the Alliance
plant.
There- is no question that a proper
ly managed packing plant producer
certain and comfortably large divi
dends, and but for the fact that euch
a plant is to be . established here,
talesmen offering stock In other
packing plants vould have experien
ced no dilllculty In placing their
Ptock; but since it has become evi
dent to the people of western Ne
braska that they are going to have
an opportunity to put money in a
home company a company which
will have as its officers and directors
well-known gentlemen who live In
Alliance or In this immediate soctlon
they are showing a disposition to
refuse to put money into any other
company, and to wait until they can
Invest here at home.
It will not be long before the Alli
ance Tacking Company will make
rroper application to the State
Securities Commission for the neces
sary legal permission to offer Ms
Ptock, after which time western Ne
braskans. along with the people
throughout this entire section, will
have the opportunity for which a
great many of them seem to be rest
lessly waiting.
In the meanwhile there can be no
doubt that the forthcoming estab
lishment of a packing plant in Alli
ance has all but ruined the chances
of stock salesmen in this territory
wtor other packing establishments
nd all kinds of ventures. With a
chance to invest their money in a
Tneritorious home enterpriseone, so
to Bpeak. under their very noses
the people of this section are not
willing to invest their savings elsewhere.
over the sea. We may think that
they finished that Job, but they will
tell you they did not, that unless we
see to it that peace la made secure
they will have the Job to do over
again and we in the meantime will
rest under a constant apprehension
tha twe may have to sacrifice the
flower of our youth again. The
whole country has made up its mind
that that shall not happen; and pre
sently, after a reasonable time is al
lowed for unnecessary debate, we
will get out of this period of doubt
and unite the whole force and in
fluence of the United States to steady
the world la the lines of peace. And
It will be the proudets and the finest
thing that America ever did. She
was born to do these things and now
she is going to do them."
In the above words he has expres
sed tne sentiment of the vast popu
lace of the country, which is insis
tent that there be no reoccurrence of
the horlble war Just won by the
nguting men or our country.

set of the world war we were the moat

the world war brought no other good

Since the war furnished th rAaii..
ation of the need of thrift, and the
ireasury Department, through War
Savings Stamps, furnished the method
ot columned saving and investment,
it is up to the parents and the teacheri
ot this country to see that the children
take advantage of these opportunities.
inrougn tne Savings Division of tha
Tenth Federal Reserve District every
child in this district Is enabled to ob
tain a war souvenir in the form of a
hand grenade converted into a savings
bank. In order to get the grenade ho
had only to observe the above rule
earn first, save seconl and seend third.
It Is a simple rule and. if observed,
will revolutionize American habits. It
will change us from a nation of spend
thrifts to one of thrifts: from dollar
hounds to dime watchdogs; from
waste to worth.
The new slogan of the Tenth Dl

K. OF C. MAKE THE
LITTLE THINGS COUNT
The little thing count, whether In
peace or war, and by fjllowlng out that
maxim the Knights of Columbus have
made a hit with the American soldiers
and sailors overseas. Knowing that
the boys missed many of the Jlttle
things of home, even with generou
provision of food, clothing, etc., b;
Uncle Sum. the Knights have sought
out ways and menus of providing the
men In the service with the little
ihlngs that a mother or fiither or sis
ter or brother would most like to see
them have.
When It was realized how great a
scarcity of soap there was In Europe,
the Knights ordered millions of cakes
of soap, all bearing a handsome red
and blue shield, with letters remind
ing the boys that they were absolutely
welcome to the soap without any
charge. Towels were also supplied to
the men, and at numerous places In
France the IC of C. put up shower
baths.
. Boys In hospital often lost their en
tire kits before they got there, so the
Knights supplied them with shaving
brushes and cream and serviceable
safety razors. , Matches are exceed
ingly scarce In Germany, so the
Knights, true to form, supply book
matches to the American army of oc
cupation. Also colds In the head are
prevalent in , Europe, Again the
Knights come to the rescue of the boys
with thousands of khaki handker
chiefs. In London and Paris, where
aud often prevails, the Knights have
instituted free shoe-shine stands In
their clubrooma, the boys doing their
own shining.
And In a score of other little ways
the K-0 have made known to the boys
that the money contributed to their
fund was simply given to the Knights
as agents for passing on Its benefits
to the sons and brothers of the donors

The Target at Fault
A company of militia had been ont
