Today.
At yesterday is history and tomor
row may never come, 1 have decided
that Today 1 will do all the business I
ran honestly, have all the fun I can
reasonably, do all the good I "can will
ingly, and nave my digestion by think
ing pleasantly.
And that reminds me, that a yes
terday was history, so also was yes
terday "Circus Day."
Sayl Wasn't th.t a monster of an
elephant, the biggest one I ever saw,
fend I really believe what he said when
he said that he was the bluest one on
exhibition in the world today. There
fore that was the reason why I bought
that place to put our ad yesterday.
Did you notice how proud he walked
through our streets yesterday? Well,
he knew that he had our ad on that
left side, and we couldn't help noticing
Jiere at the store a3 he went by, how
lie kind of walked a little sideways
with that ad a little to the front, and
also as he believed it so did the men
ef the circus, for they flocked down to
buy, and they bought, and I claim that
I sure got my money's worth out of
that ad if I ever did out of anything
1 ever used in a parade, and he hung
it up in the main tent right across from
the reserved seats, and it sure did
shine up there in the middle of some
other signs. V
Did you stay to the wrestling match
lifter the main show? Well, I did, and
I was glad 1 did, too, for it sure was
a pleasure to see old Pete Sauet throw
their champion. Well, it sure did look
easy, just like taking candy away from
the baby, only the baby didn't cry
about it, as a good many others have
done who have met Mr. Sauer. Well,
. all we have to say about it is that we
are going to see him In action when Tie
meets this big Polish wrestler, Wrob
lavski, the first night of the Stock
men's convention and race meet on
Wednesday, June 15th. 1
r "i BOB
Incidently have you been out to the
race track and seen the horses that are
here to the big race meet. If you have
not then you sre mi-j'no- fom"'f
(rood, for I really feel that everybody
likes a rood hore. and they are sure
ere. Co out and see them.
' I hope that you will pardon a per
sonal mention hut I just can't resist
talking about that winduw display of
ours that we put in this morning, and
I want all of you to come in and look
at the miality of the shirts, that we
put in there this morning, a big lot
cf them, too, all goinjfc at 9Sc.
asm
It Is well to let those who serve you
bet serve you most.
The satisfaction that a customer
takes away with him is far more pre-!
cious to us than the cash he leaves
behind.
In pricing our merchandise we are
always guided by the realization that
our customers have to work tor the
money they spend.
It would surprise you to see how
accurately we can match your prefer
ence on your coat and vest with our
Separate trouser department And at
lignt prices, too.
Troupers are a specialty with us. In
very pair you will find the signs of
quality and value for which this store
is known and patronized. Ask your
neighbor about U3.
You just ought to see those new
Bathing Suits we got in this morning.
. LOUD! 1 ! ! 1 It would be imnnssihl
to drown in one of them for they make
so much noise that everybody would be
looking at you. W,hy, they make so'
much noise that even your foot could
not go to sleep while in one of these
fuits, and prices are right, too. Come
in, and look them over, and you witt
be convinced.
Yours as always,

barn waiting for cotton to start back
towards Its former high price.
I spent about ten days at Tulsa, a
city of 80,000 people. They call it the
"oil capital of the world for Jt la
the oil center of the south, being the
home of 434 oil companies and the lo
cation of the great Cosden oil refin
ery, probably the largest in the world.
The Cosden building there is the most
elaborate office building I have ever
seen, being a palace of marble and
brass.
An example of what push and pep
will do for a town is shown by a com
parison of Tulsa and Sapulpa, the lat
ter being about fifteen miles from Tul
sa and being the county seat of Creek
county, which received over $1,300,000
in oil production taxes during the
twelve months prior to my visit there.
Sapulpa has a population of 15,000-
Tulsa has 80,000. A few years ago
Tulsa was a small village on a branch
line of railroad Sapulpa was a rail
road center. When oil was found in
that locality the Sapulpa-ites sat back,
patted themselves on the back and
waited for the town to become a city
Tulsa saw its chance; its citizens took
otf their coats and went to work. The
Sapulpa-ites learned their lesson too
late. Tulsa has more high-priced au
tos than in any city that I have vis
ited in proportion to the population.
I counted fort y-f our cars in a row one
day 41 of them were high-priced
cars and three were Fords usually it
is the other way. They told me that
Tulsa was dull but I saw more build
ing going on there than elsewhere on
the entire trip.
Toll bridges are common through
the south, the charge for an auto be
ing from twenty-five cents to a dollar.
Chickasha, Okla., is a cotton center
and was feeling the effect of the de
pression in the cotton market. It was
at the northern edge of the Duncan oil
district, in which a full-fledged boom
was in progress, there being about 400
rigs drilling in the county. Duncan,
a town about the size of Alliance, was
adding t) its population at the rate of
200 per day and its resources were
being overtaxed to care for them.
Paper fortunes were being made over
night, something that will probably
happen here if someo of our western
Nebraska wildcat wells should strike
oil in big (luantities.
At Marietta, Okla., we visited some
time with former Alliance people and
with my brother, Taul, who is a teach
er of music la the city schools. The
Oklahoma school system is certainly
modern and progressive. The school
buildings in Oklahoma as a rule are
only one-storied, and are usually new
ami modern. -
Fort Worth and Dallas are only
thirty-two. miles apart but they are
both live cities and competition keep's
them both on their toes. Waco is an
other Texas city that is up and com
ing. An excellent federal aid 6tate
highway is being built through that
part of Texas and will connect these

cities. Between Waco and Houston 1 1
found one half-mile stretch of river
bottom which, to use a common ex
pression, "invalidated'' the whoje road. 1
The Navasota river bottom was in ter
rible condition and I was told that for
a month previous all cars had been
pulled through that half-mile stretch
by teams.
Around Houston, for a distance of
from twenty-to fifty miles in each di
rection, there are shell-surfaced roads
which make traveling a pleasure.
Houston is a big city but it Was not
the city 1 expected. It is surround
by the coastal salt-dome oil fields and
the present Vlump in the price of oil
may have had something to do with
its seeming dullness. It is headquar
ter of the Texas Oil company, which
brought in the most famous oil well
in the United States on the 20th day
of last July Abraham's No. 1, whlth
gushed 35,000 barrels per clay for a
period of several months. .
Galveston sits out in the Gulf of
Mexico, isolated except for the long
causeway which connects its island
with the mainland. Autos, trains and
interurban cars travel over this cause
way, which is built of concrete. Ships
from all parts of the world were un
loading and loading in Galveston har
bor and there were also a number at
Houston, in the big ship channel which
was drc-itged from the bay to the Hous
ton docks, near the city.
Our first glimpse of the real pan
handle of Texas came at Post, Texas,
a model town built by C. W. Post, the
originator of Grape Nuts, Tost Toas
ties, and other health foods. Mr. Post
took a tract of 32,000 acre's a number
of years ago, cut it into farms of 1G0
acres and 320 acres, erected fum
buildings, planted orchards, and sold
the farms on easy terms. That terri
tory looks much like Box Butte-county.
At Tlainview, Tex., we saw hun
dreds of pumping plants, raising water
from the immense underground wi'tr
supply to the surface for irri.;ing.
Most of the pumps used fire "screw"
pumps, although we saw some double
headed windmills.
Immense underground :.;ilt beds
have been discovered north of Ama
rillo and some distance south hoavy
underground beds of potash have been
found. Plans are now being made fr.r
the utilization of both of these natural
resources.
My conclusions from this trip are
that a town is just what its citizens
make it. In these days cities don't
just grow, they are made. The town
that grasps its opportunities is ihe one
that forge3 ahead.
Alliance has the opportunity now at
hand to expand and to grow by com
pleting the Black Hills highway north
from Sidney and by completing the
Potash highway westward through the
sandhills from Broken Bow. We can
not do it ourselves but if we would or
ganize properly and make the right
kind of a campaign, we could stir up
enough interest and get action started
for the completion of both cf these
through highways.

Thousands of tourists will travel
this summer north from Cheyenne to
Yellowstone Park. Most of them come
fn'.Ti the east. They would certainly
follow the shorter routes throjgh Alli

With these roads completed Alli

favorable location, the stopping point
for the thousands of tourists vho visit
the Black hills and Yellowstone park.
As a distinguished visitor told us
in Alliance some months ago, we are
all engaged in one of the five funda
mental activities of the civilized hu
man race: (1) Building of man pow
er; (2) raw production; (3) manufac
tured production; (4) commerce; (5)
transportation.
There Is uch an Interdependence
and interrelationship between all of
these activities that each must be
maintained in its true proportions if
our economic and social structure is
to function properly. Unfor'nnately.
transportation has lagged until today
our entire business and social struc
ture is out of balance to a degree at
least.
It is indeed encouraging to note that
our progressive cities and towns are
realizing that if they are to maintain
their proper plee in the advancement
of our nrtion they must lend of their
energy and support toward the estab
lishment of (rood roads, for with the

The Ford Sedan is the favorite family car, scats five comfortably. While an
enclosed car with permanent top, it has large windows, and may in a minute be
changed to a most delightful open car with always a top protecting against the
sun. In inclement weather it is a closed car, dust-proof, water-proof, cold -proof.
Finely upholstered. Equipped with electric starting and lighting system and
demountable rims with 3 H-hKh tires all around. A real family car.. Anybody can
safely drive it. It has all the conveniences of an electric car with the economy
which goes with Ford cars, low cost of purchase price, small cost of operation
and maintenance. Won't you come in and look at it?
p
use of the auto, both for transporting
passengers and freight, it has become
necessary to build and maintain high
ways which are not blocked by bad
roads or weather conditions and. which
will permit, at all times of the year,
communicating by auto between the
country and the town and between the
towns themselves. Alliance, lacking
good auto connections with the south
and east, 13 isolated,
i ' And tourist business pays. It is
cash business. Last year Canon City,
Col., a comparatively small town, from
an actual check by the stores patron
. ized by tourists, found that they spent
in three and one-half months over
$147,000. That city only spent about
(2,000 to advertise its advantages to
tourists. .
A leading eastern Nebraska farm

county and western Nebraska lacks is
sufficient farmers to till the soil. Frwi

this way would come the, settlers

You" young men of Alliance, by
properly directed effort, can bring
about the action needed. All that is
needed is plain work properly direct
