Dad.

Phonograph.
That's a cinch,
said Dad.
Yours truly,

AL SEIFERT
MAY STOP AT ALLIANCE
IN KNDUtANCK TOUIl
The secretary for the national en
durance automobile contest has writ
ten the Community club for further
details about the city, its hotel and
restaurant facilities, as well as ask
ing for a lot of data about roads.
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.
