fivh LESS LIVE STOCK IN THE STATE AT THE MOVIES "The Square Shooter," featuring Buck Jones, will be shown at the Im perial tonight. It is a lively comedy, with opportunrty for a considerable amount of daring horsemanship, and some fairly clever situations. It is the Iramat'zat'on of a breezy story of life on a large cattle ranch in the west, nd the many amazing incidents that occur in connection with a case of mixed identity. This makes it appear thft the ranch owner's son. a timid city-bred youth, is a dangerous char acter, and that a real dyed-in-the-wool cowpuncher is the rancher's son end heir. th government should take the mat ter up at once. Further delay will min losing a chance to be properly taken care of, and in such an imnort rnt matter as health, this should not be allowed.

This matter has been ingestigated thoroughly and it is ex plained as fonows: When the Red Cross left the army areas after the armistice it donated all its hospital garments and articles to the army. As the army hospitals were abandoned and salvaged, the various supplies were collected in warehouses, which were in turn sold to France, entire warehouses being turned over to the French government without any inventories. For this rea son these articles are finding their way into our own local markets, but since the investigations were made the mat er has been taken up with the French government and will soon be stopped entirely. ' An announcement is made to all teachers of Box Butte and South Sher idan counties that the local Red Cross otTice in Alliance can . furnish them with pamphlets put out through the Junior Red Cross by the department of education in Washington relating to studies in Civics. Some of these pamphlets contain suggestions for courses of study in Civics beginning with the first grade taking it tiirough the eighth grade. Others are entitled as follows: "Civic Education in Elementary Schools." "The Teaching of Community Civics." "Social Studies in Secondary Schools." "Civic Education." Those pamphlets are all very good and the Red Cross urges strongly that they be used in teaching the children what being an American really means.
