THE ALLIANCE HERALD, FRIDAY, AUGUST 5th, 1921.
RANDOM SHOTS
The idea that two can live as cheap
"Jy M one was probably started by a
tapeworm.
Antiorh, 111., is now in a class with
Harvard, Neb. A Harvard banker
-wanted to know if "Dabe Ruth" was
Ruth Bryan, the daughter of William
lafre constable arrested William and
-Jennings Bryan. At Antioch, the vil
persisted in calling him Mr. O'Brien
intil the only democrat in town got
him out of the clutches of the law.
It probably pained William more to
yo unrecognized than it did to be ar
rested. With Antioch potash magnate
uniting: for oil and the big plants shut
clown, we are reminded of the changes
time brings. The potash era may be
forgotten in ten years, save by those
-who are holding the sack.
All of which reminds us that prob
ably we'll never be allowed to forget
the defunct Cox-Roosevelt club.
Gone, but not forgotten, as the
headstones used to read.
rfont see why I can't wear short f-kirts
like all the other girls.' Her mother
gave a little gasp of surprise, and then
she said: '"Why, Mary, your ideas are
becoming poMtively shocking. You
know perfectly well that you are not
old enough yet to wear short skirt.' "

Tonight's attraction at the Imperial
is Shirley Mason in "Flame of Youth."
Love romance is the dominant note.
The story gives glimpses of a cele
brated Parisian artist and scenes in

I a Humo, in xoiurasi mere is ueoee,
tne uttie Belgian nower girl, who until
the painter comes with his stories of
the city is quite content in her humble
surroundings. The press agent has
Eromised thrills galore and plenty of
eart interest.
The daily newspapers say that a
traveling man died of heart failure in
a Crete hotel. He was seated in the
hotel dining room, and the dinner was
erveL He didn't say a word, but his
hand went to his head, the world turn
ed black and he pitched forward. The
newspapers say it wa3 heart failure,
hut once we ate at that same hotel,
nd we know, WE KNOW.
The office force has been trifling
with boxing gloves. ' All of them
showed, a lot of pep the first tryout,
trot since then no one has put on the
V'loves but the newskids.
The business manager is off of the
"tobacco again. Don't tempt him. And
-don't reproach him. The last time it
only lasted three days.
fThe Hot Springs Times-Herald aaya
-that one can get two pounds more of
eugar for a dollar there than in sur
rounding towns, but we refuse to be
tempted. ' We spent two days there
once.
Take It for what it's worth, but the
editor of an exchange says that he has
Vaowl tlia trattrrliria ainfrintr. Ami that
nnless all signs and superstitions fail.
The same Hot Springs newspaper
carries this headline: "Fifty Years
Married Typical Event Friends Pay
Homage." It's a bad habit to get into
this celebrating golden wedding an
niversaries, and if it is repeated two or
Ihree times, death is sure to ensue.
The news comes from the dress
makers' convention that the skirts are
to be long this fall down to the
iinkles, almost. An authority tells us
that he is quite positive the new
styles- will never be popular in Alli
ance. But have you heard the men are
""rolling their un". Hs uppwters
-are no longer being used by the smart
vlressers.
And a San Francisco bank, has
-added a "stocking room" for the use of
its lady customers. This will not only
permit withdrawing fundd from de
posit, but will serve as a port in wind
storms. If the poet is right about it, and it's
really true that "btone walls do not a
prison make, nor iron bage a cage'
ame one ought to get out an injunc
tion against the state officers who
have signed a contract agreeing to pay
328,921 for iron bar3 for the junior
penitentiary.
Wonder who writes the funny say
ings that these movie actors and
-actorines are credited with? Alice
Lake's press agent says that she told
her closest friend, a "golf widow,"
that golf is a kind of "hoof and mouth
disease." "It's hoof all day and then
come home and month."
Ole Buck and his wife whizzed
through Alliance without stopping for
a game of golf. Ole knows when he's
out of his closs. His idea of athletic
exercise is to watch Mrs. Buck and
the junior editor playing croquet.
Ole is the only man we've been able
to buffalo on our golf score. He
thinks that 100 is a pretty good score.
An Alliance business man complains
that it is almost impossible to get do
mestic help these days. He interviewed
a prospective housewaid the other day,
who told him that she wanted $10 a
-week, the washing and ironing done
outside, Saturday afternoon and even
ing off, and that if she could have
these concessions, she'd "probably s-tay
;uite a while."
, Old Story.
Two doctors were quarreling over
Jim Judson, who was very ill. "You're
wrong," said the first doctor. "I m
right," said the second. The patient
gave a groan of agony. "Have your
own way," said the second doctor, "but
I'll prove I'm right at the post-mortem."

"They were talking in a loud tone of
voice and from all appearances, and
from what followed it was plain to be
Feen that they were mother and
daughter," says the Town Cossip.
"Daughter was about fifteen years old
and she was angry about something.

her eyes, and she was pouting, and I

Saturday comes Bebe Daniels in
"Ducks and Drakes." Little Miss In
nocence saw no harm in promiscuous
telephone flirtations with any pleasant
masculine voice that her system of
picking random telephone numbers
brought on her wire. How could she
dream that some of these men knew
each other; knew she was flirting with
all of them, and were framing up a
plot to punish and cure her of her wild
habit? Of course these telephone
flirtations led to secret meetings. And
first thing she knew, reckless Teddy
had more excitement in her young
life than she knew how to manage.
Sunday's feature is Elaine Ham-
.Byrnes." In this picture Miss Ham-
Imerstein portrays a dual role. She
represents twin sisters .diametrically
opposite in character, manner and ac
tions. One is flashy and thoughtless,
, the other is sweet and modest. The
conflict between their personalities and
the mistakes made because of their
similar appearance are responsible for
a series of romantic and dramatic hap
penings culminating in a thrilling
scene in a deserted house.
Funeral Services Are
Held Wednesday for
Former Alliance Man
Funrral services were hold at 2:"0
p. m. Wednesday from the First Bap
tist church for Walter H. Boon, former
Alliance resident, who met death at
Dixon, 111., last Saturday, as the result
of a gunshot wound. Rv. B. J. Mi
nort conducted the services.
Walter H. Boon was th son of Mr.
and Mrs. Kitvmuo Boon. He was born
in Shelby countv. Indiana, December
23, 1800. With his parents he moved
to Illinois, settling near Dixon, from
there they moved to Morrill county,
Nebraska, then to Box Butte county
where he was well known.
He leaves to mourn his departure a
father, two brothers, Oscar Boon of
Dixon, 111., and W. J. Boon of Oregon,
111., and his faithful wife, who was
Jennie Colerick of Alliance before her
marriage to the deceased. She is the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. N. O. Cole
rick of Alliance. Mrs. J. T. Barkhurst
of Alliance was' his grandmother.
His death was sudden as it was
tragic, being the result of mistaken
identity. Walter H. Boon was mis
taken for a trespasser on another's
land and property, when in reality he
was caring for a threshing machine on
the party's premises.
In snite of all medical aid and all
that science could do he passed away
at the age of thirty, having just barely
tasted of life.
He was the son of a good Baptist
woman who souirht to raise her chil
dren in the fear and love of God ana
He was a good, moral man and
faithful husband. He leaves a large
circle of relatives and many friends
who will miss him.
Herald 'Vant Ada-Results.
"The Fighting Lover" will be shown
Monday. The story starts out with
Frank Mayo as a rich young 'fellow
who casually bets $10,000 that he can
reach out into the world and produce
three girls with one of whom his friend
will fall in love in thirty days . He ad
vertises for three girls and a thousand
I answer. From among them he picks
three, any one of whom would make
a young man happy just to look at
her. With that interesting start the
story develops a brisk speed that
leaves the earth for the climax.
DESPERATE CASE.
A country doctor h:id been called to
a neighbor's home and found the wife
in a hysterical condition.
"How long has she been like this?"
he asked the husband.
"Ever since this morning," he re
plied. "She ran up against an echo out
in the back yard and found she
couldn't have the last word,". .
There is no harm in talking about
disarmament so long as we do not do
it first.

It is Changing Buying Habits
The Paige 6-66 model is a truly great motor car because it
represents a great economic achievement. It means maxi
mum motoring qualities at minimum cost.
It means sane, sensible investment value instead of extrav
agance. Therefore it has changed, and will continue to
change, buying habits in the fine car field of America.
You have but to look about you for the evidence. The
boulevards tell the stcry. For more than 25 of our total
sales have replaced cars costing from one to three thousand
dollars more than the Paige.
In short, the fine car buyer has grown weary of paying
"excess fare." He now cuts his investment In half and
drives the undisputed champion of road and track
Think it over.
