night in two wrrks; five go on'y once

rot Attend the movies at all during
the school year.
Most of the pupils favored the early
evening show, 140 irivinjr that answer.
Only seventeen admitted froinp at the
In'.e J-how, Bnd six attend the matinee
i rformance.
The question an to the favorite
k:nd of movie brought out a sufficient
vriety of replies to be'classrd unler
fi teen heads. Western stories led all
the rct, and by a comfortable major
ity, just ns they did in the guides. (."
pupils preferring this hrfid. Love
Florics were the next in line, 4S lean
ing in this direction. Northern stories
had 1! admirers, nnd comics H. Five
preferred mystery stories; 10 wanted '
lrama; ten others were adventure
fens; one rallied liketl boarding school
p'ctures; another preferred the excit-'
ing pictures; seven liked fiction, which
is probably a nice wav of referring to j
love Ftoriees; three frankly admitted
they liked the emotional films; one de-,
clnred herself as liking the kind with
"human appeal" the liest; one liked
nil kinds indiscriminately ; two
1 ked the current events better than
the others; and two declared them
selves as strong for moral producfons.
"Hie last four were probably bluffing.
Love stories were seen more often
than any other kind, 3X saying they
pnmc them nioie often than any other.
Thirty-two rather believed they saw
piore western pictures than any othgt
kind. Three have seen northern pic
tures oftener than other forts; two
lid they thought the majority of the
films they had seen were "intermingled
with Bin"; one had seen the emotional
variety pretty often; one had seen ad
venture plays; four had seen fiction,
nnd another movies from books, which
nay amount to the same thing; three
thought comedies came a little less
i-ehlom than other kinds; and one
thought there were more tragedies;
two thought they had seen more fac
tory stories; and four voted for the
lrama.

SCOTTSRLUFF
KISSES PACKING
PLANT GOOD-BYE
(Continued from Page 1)
Mr. Plumbe was not anxious to have
the Alliance company dissolve. He ap
peared before the stockholders and in
a two nnd a half hour speech, which
covered the development of the pack
ing industry from the days when the
wild buffalo roamed the plains down
to a few minutes before starting the
speech, Plumbe pleaded with the
stockholders, first, to stick, and later
to change the name of the company
and remove to Scott t-blu IT. His efforts
were not successful.
The next move was to go to Scotts
blulf anyway. The following week
the newspapers of that city carried
the news that only about half of the
stockholders had been in favor of dis
solving the company, and that the
Scottsbluff concern would have a start
of about a hundred thousand dollars
toward forming the new company.
The Scottsblutf newspapers boasted
that their city would make the con?
cern go, no matter what luck it had in
Alliance, because Scottsbluff was a
better city than Alliance and their
citizens more progressive.
Who Threw That Brick?
Something seems to have happened,
however. The Alliance newspapers
chided the Scottsbluff newspapers for
being so boastful, and then all was
silence for several weeks. Now comes
the decision of the chamber of com
merce not to go ahead. No reason is
assigned for the lack of faith, but the
Scottsbluff News sheds a faint light
on the problem:
"The project for securing a packing
plant for Scottsbluff, considered fol
lowing the dissolution of the Alliance
Packing company, has been definitely
abandoned for the present, by the
committee of the Chamber of Com
merce that has been investigating the
matter.
"In making their announcement
without comment upon the plan that
was presented to Scottsbluff by R. E.
Plumbe who promoted the Alliance
packing plant, the committee felt that
it was leaving the situation in such a
way that the proposition could be
taken up and considered again at some
future date, if it then becomes likely
that th nlant can be secured.
"It was understood that the original j
proposal of Mr. Plumbe to Scottsbluff)
included an arrangement for tne un
derwriting of a large part of the stock
in the proposed company, by eastern
financiers. Whether this could have
been accomplished or not, is not known
but the decision of the committee, af-
' ter viewing every angle of the plan,
was that the present was not the best
time for launching such a, project
here."
