NEW OW.NKUS TAKE tHAKK
With this Issue The Alliance Her
ald conies Into the hands of its new
owners. From the day we left the
service of Uncle .Sum, we have ben
looking for the right kind of open
ing, and we believe we have found it
in Alliance. The city looks better
every time we have an opportunity
to mop work and look at it, and we
have met with a brand of western
friendliness and western hospitality
that makes even the fattest one of
us feel good clear through.
It is the first newspaper we have
ever owned, though both the new
'. editor and the new business manager
were brought up with the smell of
printing ink in our noses .half the
'time. We have worked in all de
partments of daily and country news
papers, and while we don't think
we know all there la to know about
the game, we believe we have grad
uated from the amateur class.
The Alliance Herald is one of the
best newspapers In this section of
the state. It has a field that is al
most an empire In itself J It shall
be our chief aim to give news. We
don't expect to try to cover the field
that the dally newspaper covers bet
ter and cheaper than we can cover.
We do hope to make The Herald
even more newsy, bigger and better
each Issue that we print. If we
cover the news of our own section
of th estate thoroughly and well, we
shall have done what we hope to do.
As we mentioned before, we owa
this newspaper. That means that it
belongs to us. It will express our
personal opinions and stand for th
things that we believe In. Our poli
tics are democratic, and this news
paper will be democratic in politics,
but that does not mean that any man
or measure bearing the party stamp
will get The Herald's support unless
it deserves it. We expct to remain
in Alliance, and become a part of the
city. Anything that will tend to
make this community better will find
in The Herald and The Herald own
ers firm supporters.
We like Alliance; we liko iU citl-
r.ena. We believe lu The Herald and
its future. We know this ia a leld
large enough to support two news
papers In comfort if not iu luxury,
and we expect to stand on our own
merits. We will find ourselves at
considerable disadvantage in getting
out our first Issues, due to our lim
ited acquaintance, but we have found
it easy to become acquainted with
those we have met and it will not
be long, we hope, until we know
every man, woman, child and dog
In Box Butte county. We keep open
house during office hours, and noth
ing will give us more pleasure than
the opportunity to meet and, know
our subscribers--and prospective
subscribers.
We enter upon our connection
with The Herald with no promises
save to our subscribers and sup
porters that we will publish as good
a newspaper as we are capable of
producing. We owe no obligations
to any man or faction. We expect
to give genuine service, and gen
erally, in the language of the ancient
Astecs. to do our bloomin' best
Angels could do no more.

Box Butte county may congratu
late itself on the success of the Sal
vation Army drive. Of all the or
ganization that had to do with the
comfort and welfare of the soldiers,
the Salvation Army is the only one
which came through the entire war
without a single kick beiag regis
tered against it. Incidentally, those
who contributed may find satisfac
tion in knowing that his money will
go where It was intended to go.
When the Salvation Army sets out to
help unfortunates, the money it
takes in goes to the unfortunates,
and not to a long list of secretaries
and leaders the expense of whose up
keep takes about three-fourths of
every dollar that comes ia. The
highest salaried officer in the entire
Salvation Army, so we are told,
draws less than $1,500 per year ac
tual cash, and while there are some
other organizations that may be ah'o
to equal this record, they are few
and far between. For yearn the
Salvation Army has been struggling
along, doing a whole lot of work on
very little funds, and we sincere"
trust that they'll get enough money
in this drive to enable hem to c i
out a few of their cherished pro
Jecs. We have never met a Roldter
who wasn't for 'em, heart and soul,
and if their work hasn't ben appre
ciated, something is wrong with us.

Wray -Romlnger, the yell leader
for this year, has collected a fine
assortment of yells, and Wednesday
and Friday of last week they were
tried out and not found wanting In
any respect..
The students of the . high school,
who had charge of the selling of the
tickets for the football games, "car
ried on" so successfully that the 'o
tal sales amounted to f3v.
We do not like to talk too much
about the game which took place
last Friday, but are consoling our
selves with the good old saying, " be
who laughs last, laughi best. " The
experience was an unpleasant on
for Alliance, but sometimes a defeat
reacts In a way that a victory do ?
not. Our boys are getting down to
business now, and are detent, 'uel
that the next victory will be for tne
home team. Our team Is a light one,
as a whole, and short on looting!
experience, but the boy sare learn
ing fast, and working hard at the
game. "The harder you're thrown
the higher you'll bounce."- Next
time wo will bounce so high that a
past records will be wiped out. Our
confidence in our team Is still un
bounded.
Several young men from the
Seottsbluff high school visited our
school last Friday and stayed for
the game. These young men are all
on the football team, and kept their
eyes open accordingly. Perhaps
they came over with the Idea of in
timidating us by their great size,
but size does not always count. They
made valiant efforts to divert the
thoughts of the rooters, consisting
largely of young ladies, from the
course of proceedings, but some of
them seem to have been beaten at
their own game.
From bangs and thumps proceed
ing from the vicinity ot the gym,
one gathers that the girls are start
lng the hardening process prellml
nary to reorganizing the girls., bas
ketball team.
One masculine member of the
faculty charged another with acquir
ing a halo, and In return was warned
against becoming web-footed. To
disinterested observers, however,
neither circumstance seems likely to
occur.
The students were entertained
during assembly Wednesday morn
lng by a Vlctrola concert.

Reports of a recurrence of the
influenza epidemic have been com
ing from several towns in the state
during the past few weeku. and It
is a pleasure and a privilege to an
nounce that there not been a singLe
case reported for Alliance, despite
the fact that rumors to the contrary
have been noised about. Dr. George
Hand, city physician, to whom all
such cases must be eported, has no
Spanish influenza patient on the rec
ords. -Baseball fans were deprived of
the oportunlty to "see the world's
series' on a descriptive score board,
despite the efforts of local telegra
phers and the management of the
Imperial theatre. The wires are
pretty heavily loaded about this time
and although they received assur
ances at one time that they could get
direct wire service, a refusal fol
lowed within Jialf an hour. At any
rate, the men behind the move de
serve credit for doing their bost to
put it over, and it wasn't their fault
that they failed.
Members ot the Alliance past of
the American Legion will meet at the
city armory at 8 p. m. on Thursday,
October 2, at which time steps will
be taken to select delegates for the
national convention, which meets In

Alliance post has been growing
steadily. The charter Is still open
; and ex-soldiers, sailors and marines
should take steps to get In before

secretary ot the local post and ready
and willing to spill all the Informa
tion desired on Bhort notice.
