Pilfered more or less and you can see

th'nk we in Alliance would have I
loown what the war really meant if
v? were called from our b dx by the!
piien, sometimes nearly ever1: nijrht in
the week and have to stay for hours
lown under the ground, and then to
fnve notices served on you, telling you '
vhat roads to take out of the town,
ami the names of the infirm and aired
jx-ople you were to take should you
have any conveyance, in case 01 in
vasion. As you ride in the train the country
is still clotted with disused army huts
and Y. M. C. A. rest rooms.
The country is still preen as the
temperature has only been down to
freezing once for a few days since we
linve been here, and the landscape is
very pretty with the quaint old fash
ioned houses and .'till older churches
of which there are o many, some
many centuries old.
The public houses (saloons) are as
numerous ns ever, but a shadow of
dry America peems to have cast a
gloom over the business, and it's only
a matter of time before they follow
our example. England is certainly
liehlnd us in educutional advantages,
the boys and girls going to work t.t
fourteen years of age, and only the
few attending one of the numerous
private schools or colleges which have
high charges for tuition.
Since writing the foregoing, we have
visited Irfmdon and Oxford. The un
employed situation in London is very
acute. We paw unemployed processions
two blocks long anil four abreast with
l-anda and drum major regulated by
rountcd police. We found prices being
cut considerable in all lines.
Oxford Is one of the most beautiful
cities I have seen, a city of colleges,
crthedrnls, churches, etc., all set in
beautiful scenery.
I find it very hard to go to France
s the conducted tours are discon
tinued till the summer, and this is the
only method of seeing all there is to
le seen.

SIMPLY NATURAL
Nature providing gcni3 of
bewitching colors, and man
settings of alluring artistry
designed to emphasize fem
inine attractiveness, it can
not be other wise that wo
man loves jewelry and uses
it instinctively to enhance
her loveliness and the beau
ty of her gowns.
In Thiele jewelry no de
sire for beauty, taste,

is left unsatisfied. And '
prices are the ample
values a woman looks
for when making any
purchase.

TALK FEDERAL HIGHWAY
ALLIANCE TO HAY SPRINGS
A petition, petitioning State En
gineer Johnson of the Federal high
way asking the thief to investigate the
feasibility of establishing a Federal
highway starting at Hay Springs and
extending south and west and con
necting wth the federal highway six
teen miles duo north of Alliance, is
out and being largely signed, says the
Hay Springs News.
There is no question but what if
such a highway was established it
would be utilized by all the traveling
public lying east and south of Hay
Springs, and as recited in the petition
a connecting link for such travel be
tween the two east and west federal
highways in this section of the state.
We understand that our Alliance
friends are favorably inclined to the
plan. In fact it is nearly the same
route that wai marked out and en
dorsed by the Alliance commercial club
some time ago, but was at that time
side tracked by our legislature repre
sentatives at Chadron.
The Marinello Preparation cost
no more than four cents a day

Fielding & Son were given judg
ment in county court last Thursday
against the Pe Laval Cream Separator
company, the amount being slightly in
excess of $100. The company entered
no defense. Fielding & Son had pur
chased of the defendant corporation a
machine which was intended to re
move the impurities from gasoline
after it had been used in their clean
ing establishment. The machine, thev
declare, failed to function properly.
Two cream separators, the property
or the defendant company, were at
tached and will be sold to nav the

Secretary (Joorge M. Carey of the
.'liian-'f: ch; n,t t of commerce ren-
ffv i rc-fii'' ir V nrfiv't'eo d'irirfr
the first month of his secretaryship at
the wee.ly lu..Liicon held iiOi.ia
r.oon. Mr. Carey came here from
North Piatte and was faced w th the
"fih piis o1" reorpani7.in.fr the chamber
of commerce and arranging a program
i ai. tue same time, but his rcoi1
-howed th;.t he had found time to Ret
conslderab'e other work accomplished.
Among the things that were listed
as accomplished during the month
were: The establishment of a co-operative
basis letween the chamber of
commerce mid the fanners end ranch
ers in the surrounding territory. Three
hundred and fifty circular letters have
been f nt out to offer the assistance of
the chamber of commerce in various
ways ,and these have been productive
of results. Already the chamber of
commerce has assisted several farm
ers in disposing of surplus stock and
nuhiiti of them hae called nt
headquarters.
Another thing that has neen accom
plished during the past month is the
enuring of a reduction in the treight
rate on hay between Alliance and Cas
per. The rate was reduced from
50 1-2 cents to :s cents per hundred
weight. The chamber of commerce is
also working to get the ireignt rates
on potatoes reduced.
The chamber or commerce nas met
weekly luncheons during the past
month. A membership council has
been organized, in which various civic
organizations are represented. New
representatives on this council are the
American legion and the high school.
The community party was listed as
mother accomplishment of the cham
ber of commerce during the last year,
and also progress on the movement to
secure a leueral and state aid road
south connecting this city with the
Lincoln highway.
Among the new questions which
"ame un for discussion was the estab
lishment of a weekly luncheon for bus
,ness women and other women of the
city. Any woman who is interested in
such a luncheon is requested to com
municate with Secretary Carey by
telephone ,and if there seems to be
sufficient interest in it, the weekly
luncheon will be organized.
Secretary Carey also called atten
tion to the vocational school. He has
already had several applications for
attendance, and has requested business
men to inquire whether their employes
will be interested in taking up special
work.
In the future, two members of the
organization will be asked to give a
ten-minute talk on some subject oi
their own selection, to be followed by
a general discussion.
RANDOM SHOTS
We know at least three carefully
prepared speeches that were once
butchered to make a Rotarv hnlidav.
At that, it was probably better than
listening to them.
That Chinese phonograph should be
one of 'the first things called to the
attention of the grand jury.
Rev. A. J. Keams is of the opinion
that the heathen machine may be ex
pressing profanity, but he can't prove
it by us.
It does sound that way.
True Miller has been learning a lot
of new cuss words this morning, if
they are cuss words. He's been listen
ing in.
The law is an interesting study. In
Nebraska, the courts have ruled that
if a man accepts an invitation to take
an automobife ride, and is injured in
the course of the ride as a result of
the driver's negligence, not being a
contributing factor himself, he can col
lect damages. The suprenlfe court of
Wisconsin has held that if a woman
slips on a rug in a friend's home, there
slips on a rug in a friend's home, she
must pay for her own arnica.
Incidentally, if you sample your
neighbor's home brew, it's at your own
risk.
One of the most touching things to
be found in our present artificial life is
the sublime faith of the woman of the
species. We know one specimen who
believes her Romeo when he says that
he can either smoke or let it alone.
Our friends have got to get to-
gether, that's all there is to it. Two
or three months will run along, during
which we won't get a single invita
tion to dinner, and then we get three
on the same day and have to turn all
of them down but one.
"All Half the Power" Is the favorite
song at the club along about 10 p. m.,
when the silence and loneliness begin
to get on the nerves of the faithful.
Stray sentence discovered in the Boy
Scout printers corner: "With confi
dence he tackled his seventeenth flap

Tommy Miskimen admits, under
oath, that he is not a detective. So
