EDWIN M. BURR nunlneps Mgr
HmVcrlptlon 92.00 year, In advanre
Entered t the post office at Alli
ance, Neb., for transmission through
the malls an second-class matter,
rubllahed every Thursday.
According to figures Issued by the
bureau of war rink Insurance, ullcht
ly over four and a half million men
took out Insurance, the size of the
policies averaging $8,700, an aggre
gate of nearly forty billion dollar.
From the record It appears now that
only about 25 per cent of theao men
are continuing to keep up their In
surance, and the bureau's applana
tion of this Is that the men who Rive
up their policies are unfamiliar with
the provisions of the act, or that they
have not felt financially able to carry
their Insurance at this time. Neither
of these explanations will really ex
plain why, men who a few months
ago were anxious to take out large
policies should discontinue them at
the close of the war. It Is not that
these soldiers do not fully appreciate
the value of insurance, for any agent
of the old line companies w (II. tell
jrou that he has never found It easier
to sell insurance. Old line companies
have fewer lapses instead of more,
tf the bureau Is really anxious to
know why ex-soldlers are dropping
government insurance, it will cease
theorizing and ask the sold tern them
selves. Then they will be told'frank
ly that the trouble lies chiefly In the
rates set for government insurance,
and no amount of arguing, or of net
ting forth the advantages of the gov
ernment policies, will serve to offset
this fact. The editor of The Herald
and The Herald's business manager
are hanging on to their government
Insurance, and they will continue to
, hang on to it, but they do not con
aider it especially cheap. As a mat
ter of fact, our hope is that sometime
there will bo elected a congress
which will make equitable rates.
History will probably repeat Itself.
It was a good many years after the
close of the civil war before adequate
provision was made for tho nation's
soldiers, and It may be some time be
for government insurance rates come
down to where they belong, but we
have faith that the time will come.
Our advice to Boldlers is to hang on
to their Insurance, and hang tightly.
I.v R. nornrtt drove to Drldge
port Tuesday on business connected
with the Golden Rule. He returned
to Alliance Wednesday.
The Alliance high school foot
ball team will stage a comeback
performance at the fair grounds Fri
day afternoon nt 3:30, when it will
meet the team from the Scottsbluff
high school on the gridiron.
A minister In a neighboring
town Inserted an advertlsment In his
local paper a short time ago, be
seeching the person or persons who
borrowed his epiide to return It so
that he could harvest his potato crop.
The next morning he found no less
than six spades scattered around the
house, and the preacher Is now a
firm believer In advertising. In spite
of the fact that not one of the spades
belonged to him.
W. E. Spencer of the Alliance
Creamery company left Wednesday
for Chicago, where he will spend a
week or ten days, putting in his time
profitably by attending the national
dairy show. This Is the first real va
cation Mr. Spencer has had In some
time. It has been over two years
since he has been away from the
plant, exclusive of some nights and
Sundays, and he is expecting to come
back all rested and recuperated and
ready to take up his duties. When
a man once gets used to a hard
grind, ; he sometimes feels lonesome
away from it. but arter a siege like
that, we'll wager Mr. Spencer won't
return till the time limit on his
ticket expires.
Calvin D. Walker left Thursday
night of last week for Hastings and
arrived back in Alliance Monday eve
ning with the new Reo stxteen-pass-enger
Speed wagon bus, with which
John Wallace will eatabllBh a but
line between Alliance and Antloch,
Mr. .Walker accompanied the bus on
Ita initial trip Tuesday and both Mr.
WAltacn and Mr. Walker are enthus
iastic about the power" of the speed
wagon which sailed over the tops or
tha hilts and through the sand be
tween Alliance and Antloch without
a single cough. The first trip to An
tloch and return was made on sched
ule time Tuesday and the new bus
lived up, to Its reputation In fine
shape.
Enumerators to take the census
of 1920 will be appointed for the va
rious subdivisions of the Sixth con
gressional district at some time
wtttitn th next slxtv days, and those
who are anxious to draw a salary for

Amos H. Halle of Hemlngford

advertising columns a public sale on
the old Bushnell place, one-half mile
west of Hemlngford, on Saturday,

carefully and make arrangements to
be on hand and get your chare of
the stuff he will dispose of. Mr. Halle
has sold out and with his wife and
two daughters, the Misses Helen and
Mildred, will remove to University
Place, where the young ladies will
go to school. Mr. and Mrs. Halle

crop in Box Butte county soil.
C. E. May and family of Hem
lngford were business visitors Tuesday.

We are equipped with all the
most scientific instruments
used in measuring eyesight, as
well as a lens grinding plant
to grind the lenses after they
are fitted.
The advantage of an "exact
fit by the use of scientific
methods," costs no more than
a "guess fit" by ordinary
methods.
