Do you suppose they had circula tion audits in them days? Who made that audit? Only a trifle of 750 subscribers that exist only in the imagination. Fie on adding machines Sometimes they get away with It. Them days ain't no more now. Advice to advertisers: Don't pay for It if you didn't order it. There's no law under which it can be col lected. . We know, and they know and you know. Don't be afraid to tell em. They may try to put you out of business but These be hard days for autocrats. What's six months out of a life time? Mavbe the Sallow will take five nr fpn minutes oft some day and wire the president what he ought to do about Mexicff. We think it would be a generous act, and would come nicely from a generous man. Mexico's Retting to be a bit troublesome, but the case isn't hope less until Ben says so. It takes the armchair warriors to tell you all about It. An h had nerve enough to count those editorials as "headed news articles." That was the "most unklndeBt cut of all." If Boiler Tlate Ben was real bright, he'd call us Lloyd-George. He's not. We could tell him lots better ones than he's using. Pome around some time and we'll help you out with your thunder. The struggle's too one sided as it is. He might send the boy.

Last week the directors voted to ex tend an invitation to the managers of the tour to place Alliance on their Itinerary and plan to make a stop here. It appears that the tour is quite an extensive affair, and there will bo not only a large number of contest ants, but an immense caravan of cars following in their wake. It will be no easy Job to take care of all of them. The directors discussed the matter and came to the conclusion that Alliance was as well fitted as almost anw other city in this sec tion of the state, and they will be Informed of that fact. Incidentally, it will be a pretty difficult thing to mark out a course in western Ne braska and not touch Alliance, for about the only decent road that is marked all along Is the AUIance- Chadron-Scottsbluff route. The directors decided that It would be a good thing to take the matter up with other towns in this section, and see If united effort will have any effect. i f GEORGE CLEVELAND WATKINS George Cleveland Watkins was born May 16, 1890 anu died Decem ber 14, 1919 of brain meningitis.
