We are told that our percentage of gain In population Is greater than that for Ibe country as a whole, for the state as a whole, and that only a few cities can equal it or go It one bet ter.' In Bllll another way we have cause for congratulation. Few cities of this size in America have the sort cf a population that we have. If quality counts for anything. Alliance has the world beat. There are mighty few of the ordinary type of Immigrants In Alliance. We don't have any problem of how to handle a lain. ,ju.GJUiu da. s. which has no. standard of living and is willing to liVe ui u.nu Oi a . y ul' vvvis. lor anyklnd ot a wage, in order to ?et ahead. Box Butte county is filled with real people, and pretty nearly every one that is counted ranks as a man or woman in morals, in intel ligence and In every way that really Matters. Suppose we had five thou sand "hankies" added to oar popu lation would we be ahead or would we lose? Would it be a bet ter city, or would it be less pleas ant to live in? Alliance is the most fortunate of any city of its size in ail Nebraska. Do you know ot any other town where you could take the first dozen men you meet and find all of them human, companion able, pleasant and agreeable the sort of fellows you could spend a month with on a camping trip and come back feeling mora aheorfal than when you left? Alliance is that kind of a place, and whether the census bureau concedes ns all our population doesn't really matter a tinker's dam. We've got at least five thousand now and within a mighty few years there won't ba a city in the western part of the state that will have anything on us in any way. v Some men are poor because they are honest and sous are honest De cause they are poor. HEMINGFORD. The new building being erected for the temporary housing for a part of the grades is under roof and will bo completed before, very long.

It's a Great Little Help in Business This habit of promptness being on time at the work getting all set for the day's business so you can get away fast when the wheels begin to turn certainly speeds output. It's a foundation principle of efficiency. It means getting up early and having time for the toi let and a good breakfast. With these darkening morn ings that means an alarm clock. And that means Thiele's. All styles in the "best makes. Continuous and intermittent alarms with shut off levers. Top and back bells. Eight day and 24 hour move ments.' Extra good values. $2.50 to $4 Atches-DiuSs BitmswickJnono&aphs WcKlnspectoreClSiQ WILL PROTEST I (ATE INCREASE (Continued from page 1) "Your petitioner desires to in crease all of its echange xrates and charges ten per cent and desires to modify th erates and charges in effect for toll service by increasing the differential between person to person calls and station to station calls from twenty-five to forty tier cent and increasing all other differ entials accordingly."

The commission would be pleased to have representative cltiens of your community present at that time and opportunity will bo given to make such showing In this matter as might be desired." Tonight, at the Masonic Temple building, will be held a wrestling match between Steve Cannon, local grappler, and Harry Mamas, travel ing with the Westerman Bros. Car nival. Cannon has kept in good training and should be able to give a fine account of himself. Manias has been doing the wrestling stunt with carnivals for six or seven years, and knows a whole lot about the game. The match will be one fall to a finish, and as the two men are fairly evenly matched, should be an Interesting event. Is there no end to the demands of labor? Now the carpenters in China are striking for an increase from 20 to 35 cents a day for only 12 hours' work. A woman for the first time has presided, for a few moments, over a national convention. Calling men to order, however, is a natural peroga tive of the sex. With sugar down to fifteen cents, the people who stocked up heavily at thirty cents will see further evidence of the injustice of things in general. A man has brought suit on the ground that a bottle of hair tonic caused his head to swell. Did be ap ply it externally or internally? If it be the Syrian custom to pay $3,000 for a wife the Syrian custom looks as if it ought to be pretty ef fective in keeping down bigamy. Women's shoes are to be higher and prettier this fall. At present the eye rarely wanders as low as the footgear. FOOTI1ALL TEAM AT SCOTTSRLUFF TODAY The Alliance boys are expecting to team, accompanied by a good-sized crowd of rooters, Journeyed to Scottsbluff today for the second game of the season. Last Friday they went down to defeat before the North Platte aggregation to the dis heartening tune of 24 to 0. Since that time some changes have been made in the lineup, the line has been materially strengthened and addi tional practice has been had. The Alliance boys are epecting to put up a stiff battle against the Scottsbluff hordes. The Scottsbluff team, too, went down to death in its first game of the season, and both teams will work hard to win. Mrs. Etta M. Beal was appointed administratrix of the estate of Louis M. Beal, deceased, by County Judge Tash Wednesday. The court has ruled that a man cannot rob his wife. In actual prac tice it generally "works the other way.
