NOVEMBER 7 IS
STATE FIRE DAY
Governor MrKelvIe Inane rmrlaniA-
tlon Urging Adoption of Means
to I'rrvrtit Fires
GoTernor McKelvle has issued the
following proclamation, which sets
part November 1 at Slate Fire day.
nd which calls attention to the need
for the exercise of caution to prevent
Area.
"Every well regulated city has a
department that Is constantly on
-fuard and ready to answer any and
all calls to extinguish Ires. Erery
towa should hare some organisation,
ftt least, that could be assembled In
short time for the same purpose,
Jut what Is still better than these is
aro and caution on the part of all
lie people to prevent lire. It Is
Much easier to prevent than to ex
tinguish, for a sprkv may Jnstantly
t fanned to a flame that will con
svmt a whole section of a city or wipe
Ut hundreds of square miles of for
tt. All such might havo been
voided by care In handling a match,
4gar or cigarette and keeping, the
premises free from grease and trash
Or other substance calculated to pro
4nco spontaneous combustion. We
re approaching that season of the
jar when. In this latitude, people
will begin starting their: stoves and
furnaces. During the summer stove
pipes and smoke conductors become
4amp and rusted, and while (hey may
look quite well and secure from the
outside, yet oftentimes they are as
thin as paper. All such should be
examined and replaced when found
defective. It is desirable that State
Fire day be observed in keeping with
Its true Intent, and therefore, I re
peat that public and private schools
fake up the' subject of how to pre
vent fires and how to behave in case
fro breaks oof In. school houses or
other public places,' The mayors of
Cities can do a good, service by stir
ring up the minds of We people and
calling attention to hene matters.
; "The state 'fire, marshal has pre
pared and will send to every marshal
of cities and to the town clerk 6f
each village, a statement giving sug
gestions as to the manner of conduct
ing public meetings on State Fire
4ay, and indicating subjects to be
discussed, so as to thoroughly im
press the minds of the people with
the necessity of proper care in the
natter of handling fire and in look
ing after every place about the prem
ise, where fire is most likely to
occur. Let every man, woman and
child be on guard in order to pre
Tent destructive fires.
"Hoping for the best possible re
nits, I, Samuel R. McKelvie, gov
ernor of Nebraska, hereby wish to
mphasixe the necessity of carrying
oat the meaning and intent of the
day, and In keeping with the act of
the legislature, I hereby proclaim
Friday. November 7th, 1919, State
Fire day. ' ,

Seal of the State of Nebraska, this,
the thirteenth day of October, 1919

THE SPEED WAGON
There are more Reo Specdwagons traveling the roads of
Nebraska than any other truck of similar size and capacity.
The reason is obvious. It is a truck built to an ideal a
machine that has and is, making good in the hands of thou
sands of satisfied users. It is a truck that represents the
highest degree of refinement in structural design. It is the
product of the soundest engineering skill and ripest experi
ence. It is Reo designed and Reo made, to the last detail,
save only such items as tires and electrical equipment. Even
these have been specially selected to conform to Reo standards
of quality and dependability.
It is a truck that you will be proud to own. It is a car !
that will give you that constant, dependable service that you
would expect of a thoroughbred. In the city or on the farm,
its uses are multitudinous. Hauling of every kind and descrip
tion can be taken care of with a Speedwagon. It will deliver
goods or products between any two given points quicker and
more economical than any other means of conveyance. When
running empty, it makes the speed of a touring car. Loaded,
it will go 20 to 25 miles with ease. It has electric lights and
starter, two mighty convenient features that many other
trucks do not have. Every farmer, ranchman or truck man
ought to have one the most practical all-around method of
hauling yet extant.
"We can make immediate delivery at present, . equipped
with all the different body styles. A full line of repairs and
Reo service ean be had right here in Alliance at all times.
Let your new truck be a Reo Speedwagon.

of the 85
The following extracts are taken from a graph made from actual statistics and
give good food for thought concerning thrift as a factor in prosperity. The average
mental and financial status at the different, ages are given below:
One
At Age 10
Child has undevel
oped business ideas
dependent upon
the parent for finan
cial guidance. The
ideal time to train
child, so it will not
become one of the 85
per cent.
At Age 20
Critic aJ stage in
young man's life. If
fundamental ideas
of thrift are firmly
imbedded in charac
ter at 10, it is simple
to. confirm him in
habits of thrift.
At Age 45
Life is stern reality.
No days of grace to
accumulate fortune.
No need of grace if
foundation has been
properly laid. 16 per
cent dead; 65 per
cent self supporting;
15 per cent depend
ent; 4 per cent independent.
At Age 65
Age of caution. Can
not speculate. Too
late to recover finan
cial footing. 85 per
cent of the men still
living are dependent
upon children, rela
tives or charity.
Now is the Time to Take Personal
Inventory
Are you or your children on their way to become one of the 85 per cent who. are
wholly or partially dependent! Right now is the best time to take a survey. Both you
and your children have an excellent opportunity to form the habit that will do much
to assure your place among the 15 per cenW-those who need look to no one for aid.
The First State Bank is next week commencing a plan of Saving that will permit
everyone to form habits of Thrift. Beginning at 10 a. m., Saturday, November 1st,
1919, to every Savings Account opened with us, -
We Witt Add Another Dollar
Do not fail to take advantage of this opportunity. It will be a small but important
beginning of the habit that will mean far more to you than the gift dollar that is added
to your account at the start.
