MARSLAND FOUR YEARS IS A , LONG, LONG TIME If the voters of Alliance endorse the proposed city manager plan of municipal government at the spe cial election to be held January 4 next, they will saddle this system on the city for the next four years. It will be impossible even to vote on a change before 1924. The statue in question contains this provision: "Abandonment of Dan Election Any city which shall have operated four years under the plan provided in this act may abandon such organization and ether accept the provisions of the general laws applicable to such city, or adopt any other optional plan." The law reads exactly that way and if we fasten a high-priced, tax-eating political machine on the city of Alliance, we'll have to feed it nt least four years. Wouldn't it be wise to know that the plan will really accomplish some of the things its- backers claim before sewing ourselves up for that length of time? The one experience we had with city man agers didn't leave a good taste in our mouth. Do we want to run the risk of a dark-brown taste that we can't get rid of for four years?

FARIEN PLEADS GUILTY AND DRAWS A $25 FINE Tom Farien, arrested some days ago on a charge of stealing an overcoat and beaver hat from Fireman Ray Sullivan, who had allowed him to share his room, pleaded guilty to the charge in the county court Monday afternoon, and was given a fine of $25 and costs by Judge Tash. Farien had no money to pay the fine, and was released in order that he might get a job and earn the money. Farien was sent to the penitentiary some eighteen months ago on a charge of forgery, and was out on parole. At first, the officers planned to re turn him to the pen on a charge of violation of parole, but when County Attorney Basye took the matter up with the prison authorities, he learn en that a full pardon had been grant ed the prisoner the day before the letter arrived. The pardon board ex pressed great regret that the letter had not arrived sooner, but County Attorney Basye didn't feel inclined to insist on sending Farien back on a mere larceny charge when the state was wiling to pardon him for a great er offense.

It is possible to arrange for a sup ply of ice on practically every farm. A dam constructed across a small ravine will hold enough water to pro vide several tons of good ice in the course of the average winter. A good many farms have natural ice sources, such as pond or creeks. Because a supply of ice is available or can be made available at little expense, every farmer should plan to store ice. Write the college of agriculture at Lincoln for literature on harvesting and storing ice and plans for building an ice house. Butchering time is here. Meat is a valuable but highly perishable ar ticle, and the successful handling of it necessitates close attention to many details. The college of agriculture at Lincoln has set forth a general out line or guide for slaughtering, cutting, curing and keeping pork and beef on the farm. Every part of the work from the time the a'.iJmal is lead out until the meat is stored away is dis cussed, with nearly fifty illustrations of the various operations. Ask the college to send extension bulletin 52, "Pork and Beef." i Brigadier General Andrews of Dea Moines and Captain Cheyne of the Omaha Salvation Army, were in Al liance over Sunday, three meetings being held in the interests of that organization, in the morning at the Methodist church, in the afternoon at the roof garden and in the evening a conference with the local advisory board at the Alliance hotel.
