The
FAMOUS
Famous for Quality
Editor Coler of the Sidney En
terprise, fn company with O. W.
Reed of Wilsonvllle, Neb., made The
Herald a short Islt on Monday
of this week. Earlier In the day,
Mrs. Rcd had a rather unpleasant
experience wtlh gentleman, who,
though undeniably gallant, was more
than slightly Intoxicated. Compan
ions Interfered and dragged the
booiehound Into seclusion Immedi
ately, if not sooner. In spite of all
this, Mr. Reed had a good many
pleasant things to say of Alliance.
Despite the fact that there is a
serious shortaee of houses in the city
at the present time, the impression
should not be given that there Is
nothing blng done to relieve condi
tions. It developed at the Monday
evening meeting of the directors of
the Alliance Community club that
fifty new houses have been built In
Alliance during the past year, and at
the present time there are thirty-five
more under process of construction
or remodeling. The fact Is that the
city Is growing so rapidly that even
greater building activity than normal
is unable to keep pace with the de
mand. . For some time the merchants of
the city have believed that a mer
chant policeman, who would make
the rounds of the business district at
night, would be a valuable addition
to the-city's police force. They had
discussed paying his salary out of a
fund collected from the merchants
themselves. The matter was dis
cussed by the board of directors of
the Alliance Community club at its
Monday meeting, who favored the
idea, but believed that such an offi
cial should be hired by the city. City
Manager Smith has announced, it is
said, that a merchant policeman will
be added to the department, and the
name of the appointee will doubtless
be made known before long.
It is the. desire of the present
publishers of The Herald to publish
all the news that is available. We
hope soon to have a correspondent
located in all the towns In this terri
tory. We will esteem it a great favor
if any Herald subscriber who would
like to take up the duty of sending
us a weekly news letter, would let
us know his or her name without de
lay, or if you know of someone who
would be willing to undertake the
work, or whom you think is well
fitted to do it, send In the name.
We'll do our best to persuade him.
Again, if you live n Alliance, and
know of any news item, no matter
whether you think it Important or
not, use the telephone. We're hon
esiiy pian to get any Rind or a news
item, and we will appreciate it. Its
news that makes a newspaper, and
especially in these days when we're
getting acquainted, every little bit
counts.
The first Friday in November
of each year has been set apart by
the legislature as "state fire day."
The state fire marshal, E. D. Beach,
has renamed the day "Fire Preven
tion day," and Is making plans to
have every school in the state pre
pare special exercises to mark the
occasion. A circular letter was mailed
a few days ago to all the county su
perintendents in the state, enclosing
a copy of a book entitled, "Safe
guarding the Home Against Fire."
Instruction of this kind given to the
children cannot fail to have a bene
ficial effect. Few people have any
idea of the immense property loss
caused by fires, a large proportion of
which could have been prevented by
the adoption of simple' protective
measures, which In most cases
means simply common sense. For
the state of Nebraska, from January
1,1919, to September 1. 1919, a total
of eight months, no less than 571
fires were reported, with a loes ex
ceeding half a million dollars. This
does not Include the Omaha fires, of
last week, which will raise the total
by more than a million and a half.
Nine lives have been lost in fires so
far in 1919. Friday, November 7,
is the date set for Fire Prevention
day this year, and it is to be hoped
that all public, private and parochial
schools will lend their co-operation
to a movement that is ImpoSan to
even" rerson living within the state,
and a good number who live else
where.
Judge Tash enjoyed the oppor
tunity last week to have a pleasant
visit with his son, Charles Tash, who
was discharged from the army some
months ago, but who has been so
busy since then that he has been un
able to find time to made a visit
home. He is In the employ of an au
tomobile concern In Omaha, and was
making a trip through the weBtern
part of the state, eand when he
reached Rushville made a quick aasn
toward Alliance. Charles Tash,
after scverr.l c'.tempts to enlist,
wherein he turned down for
physical reasons, was finally inducted
into the service and within a rew
weeks was in France. He made a
sergeancy in the Eighty-ninth dlvl
sion. and there is one story which
concerns his first guard duty in
France and the passing by of Gen
eral Pershing which ought to be told,
but which the Judge can tell so much
better than we can that we're going
to forego the pleasure. Later, be
was selected as one of two men irom
his company, the other being bis cap
tain, to get right into action with the
Rainbow division, the Forty-second,
then as Chateau Thierry, the idea be
ing that these two men should learn
of actual fighting and later go back
to their company and serve as in-
fructors. Neither of them were
nhi tn eo back to the company, how
ever, for his captain was wounded
and Tash himself was gassed, so se
verely that he Epent twenty-one days
In the hospital. He arrived back In
the United States sone weeks ago
and went right back to his old posi
tion in Omaha. His week-end visit
home was greatly enjoyed by his par
ents, who, although they watched
h war news pretty carefully, knew
nothing of his participation In the
Chateau Thierry battle or of his be
ing gassed until it was all over ana

came to the club's secretary from

lad of most pleasing personality, who
has seen service through a large part
of the war, enlisting in Toronto when
he was under age, and seeing twenty

Ills regiment was the 127th, known
as the Twelfth York Rangers, and
Incidentally as the "Bloody Rang
ers." He was in a number of the im
portant engagements of the war, but
went through al lof them unscathed,
with the exception of being slightly
gasRed. He was gassed, not in battle,
but in seeking shelter In a shell hole
in which one of the gas bombs had
been thrown. Not knowing the pres
ence of gas In the hole, he neglected
to put on his helmet, and as a result
got a trip to the hospital and an op
portunity to recuperate tn the Derby
hills, which he says is one of the
finest spots on earth for that pur
pose. Mr. Smith was discharged
within a few days after the signing
of the armistice. lie likes this coun

to stay, here if he can find employ-'
ment, and inasmuch as he is expert
enced, that ought not to be a difficult
thing to find.
The October Issue of ThS
Tradesman, a business journal for'
retail merchants, published at Oma
ha, in its discussion of local adver
tisements, has complimentary word
for the quality of the newspaper ad
vertisements of two Alliance Br,
chants, that of W. R. Harper and
the Fashion Shop. A noteworthy
feature connected with this Is that
both of the ads were put Into type by
The Herald force. With our recent
purcnase of several hundred dollars'
worth of new type, both for ad and
Job work, The Herald adroom Is able ,
to make the advertisements of Alli
ance merchants equal In typograph

copy furnished us. -
