Chiefly for KPiitlnienlal reasons.
Dill Maupln announces that he will
b duly grateful If the new flouring
tulll lu his city will present him with
the first sack of flour It turns out.
, The conductor of this enterprising
Column trusts that H. M. Hampton,
Fred Harris or Charley Drltlon will
present us with the first of the new
ri'grtm half-dollars that comes Into
' their hands.
Coin crdWting rIwiixb did appeal
to us. 'e are d.ffeient from most
nulsmatlcs, however, In that we pre
fer the IrlK'il and shiny mw varie
ties to the old ones. Sentiment Is
very well In Its place, but we are pa
triotic enough to desire United States
money above all others.
We hope we get by with this hint
as good as we did the last one,
wherein we tried to get a chicken
dinner. That one was moderately
successful, for we got two real din
ners and a promise of a third.
Wonder if Dill's chickens shouldn't
be about grown up by now.
Fusaklchi Kunitomo died the other
day. He was kicked by a horse and
did not choke while attempting to
pronounce his own name, as has
been reported by enemies. ,
There are men who try advertising
as the Indian tried feathers. He
took one feather and slept on it all
night. In the morning he remarked,
"White man say feathers heap Boft;
white man big dam fool."
Hyde Sreet In the Nebraska City
presn tells the story of a man In his
town who reported for work with
his head cocked over to one side.
When asked concerning the pose, he
said It was all a case of mistaken
Identity. It seems that he was very
fond "of a certain kind of breakfast
fr.od. and In his hurry the day before
he grabbed up a portion of what he
!houht was breakfast food and he
had eaten It. It tasted pretty pood
ana he tried some more. He found
out later he had taken bird seed, and
that night he ulcpt with his bead
tucked under his arm.
Why editors leave town: From the
Rochester (Minn.) Bulletin: Miss
Isabel Jones reurned yesterday from
Chicago, where she visited her son,
Dick, and attended the republican
convention.
Those Hemingford men who sur
rounded and killed the porcupine
wouldn't have been so brave had the
animal belonged to a certain other
species.
By mistake he had gotten the
wiopjs: suit from the cleaners. Fev
erishly he fished through the pock
ets. There were $135 In bills and
not a one of them was receipted.
(We agree with you, the American
Legion Weekly has a poor sense of
humor.)
It takes a long time to change
the point of view of preachers. In
Chicago a woman is now maintain
ing that men's souls are easier to
save than women's. Five hundred
years ago monks were writing long
Latin treatises arguing that women
didn't have souls.
W. W. Norton has not yet become
Inoculated with the California virus.
He still speaks of It as Los Angeles,
Instead of "Lez Onglaze."
So long as he still retains the
western pronunciation, Alliance
hasn't lost him utterly.
Troubles never come singly. For
proof of this, we refer you to the
Jesse Miller tribe. The other d-.:y,
the daughter of the house had to
spend a morning with the dentist; In
the afternoon the boss broke an arm
while cranking a car, and when tn
came home and started to look up
Jesse, she found the famt'y prot'-ctor
In the clutches of the law, yea. even
within the very portals of the cl'.y
Jail. I
Our mistake we meant city hall.
Jess has already ordered a micro
scope to inspect the back yard, and
is reported to be considering the pur
chase of a cannon to shoot flies. He
says htey escape from the ordinary
mousetraps, and that he isn't a good
enough shot to hunt them with a
rifle.
It occurs to the office cut-up that
a periscope might be a good thing to
have around a hotel.
We heard a wild tale about three
girls and a wild and untamed hooit
which they capture some place that
Isn t named. .Not one could tell what
it was, and they finally appealed to a
mnn of learning who told them it was
a kangaroo rat.
There is something wrong about
this story. Think of three girls sur
rounding a rat pardon us, a kanga
roo rat when a common little field
mouse would throw 'em Into hyster
ics.
Anyhow, all we are Interested in !s
what became of the rat.
It pays to buy blooded doga. An
Alliance milliner owns on. The
other night she Invited a guest to her
home, and the dog chewed up a per
fectly good hat.
If someone has a bloodei dog with
an Insatiable appetite for printed
matter, we'll pay what he is worth.
Yesterday a lifelong republican
entered the offices of the Cox-Roose'
velt club. He brought with him a
voluntary contribution and asked for
a membership card.
You'll find the same warm wel
come when you acqnowledge that you
have seen the light.
HQ O SERVICE is aimed to be not only, accommo
SL kJ bating to the well and healthy, but thoughtful
and careful as to the welfare of the sick. It
is in line with this policy of care and thoughtfulness that we
allow no chance of error in the compounding of prescriptions

We know how to compound it

Mr. Lemsky, the butcher, at Dun
can's cut his wrist last Wednesday
while at work in the store. Several
stitches were necessary to close the
wound.
It should be possible to make taxes
just, but it Is not likely that they
will ever be made popular.
A hen would starve to death if It
had to live on eggs.
CAltD OP THANKS
The ladles of the M. E. church
wish to thank all the business men
for their liberal donations for the
supper served during the good roads
convention. Also those persons who
donated cash and the ladies, young
girls and men for their services all
of which contributed materially .to
the success of the venture.
A Checking Account Is
Your Greatest Measure
of Defense
Defend yourself against waste Cash is rarely seen save at the vanishing point. It
dwindles, it scatters you know not where. But you THINK when you writ a
check. You have a record of where the money goes. Payments are systematized,
expenditures reduced.
A checking account protects you against loss of your money by fire, theft, carelessness,
forget fulness. It means your funds aresafe.
Defend yourself against trickery and mistake File your checks. They make indisputable
receipts, sparing you twice payment of of bills, for on the back of every cancelled
check which comes back to you is the signature of the person or the firm which re
ceived the money.
Build a fortress against sickness, accident and old age You save a surplus and it will
save you sometime. And remember, bythe way, that writing more deposit tickets
than checks is the secret of both safetyand sucess.
Ward off the inconvenience and worry Achecking account in our bank ranks with
free mail delivery and the telephone. It saves you a long trip, and you always have
the right to change. Your money is always available, payable on demand. No
expense we supply check books, passbooks and all necessary stationary free.

You. Can't Afford
To Freeze Your Stock to
Death by Poor Sheltering!
lot us irELP YOU
DO YOUR BUILDING!
No. 650
COME IN AND SEE
US ANY TLMH
Men who handle stock are finding that they
cannot afford to freeze them to death. The
terrible lesson of last spring, when many
farmers and ranchmen lost enough stock to
pay for all the sheds they would need in a life
time, has convinced stock growers that there
is no money in taking chances on such a loss
again.
Please Come in and Let Us
Show You How Surprisingly
Cheap Cattle Sheds Can be Built.
Lumber to build sheds is cheaper in the end
than feed, to say nothing of the chances of a
heavy loss. Sheltered stock require less feed,
keep in better condition and make more money
for the owner. The saving of labor adds to tl
profit of stock raising.
Come in and Let us Show
you about building Sheds!
