interest in boys' work and that they
mane a personal errort, whenever pos
sible, to encourage them to continue
with their studies and go through high
school and secure college training.
Superintendent W. R. Pate spoke
along similar lines. He pointed out
that boys in the schools rarely listen
to advice from the instructors on keep
ing on with their school work, figuring
that the teachers were paid to talk
that way, but that advice from busi
ness men was more often heeded. Mr.
I Pate told of the policy of encouraging
$2950 $1403 ""uetic training ior every student at
me siaie university, and urged that
the Rnarians personally attend the
football games and other athletic
events of the high school. "We've
never asked for money that we didn't
get more than we needed," Superin
tendent Tate said, "but we would like
to have a more personal interest
shown by the business men."
Following these talks, the Rotarians
accepted Mr. rate's inivtation to at
tend today's game.

From the foregoing it la evident
that we would have to spend between
two and three dollars for every dollar
reduction we would get on fire insur
ance premiums. We have been told
before as we are now told that if we
will add to our fire fighting equipment
we would receive corresponding reduc
tions on insurance. We believe this is
the first time however that such mat
ters have been worked out on a dollar
and cents basis to see just what it
meant to us. We realize that the Ne
braska Inspection bureau have a set of
hard and fast rules to work by. It
seems to us that by these same rules
the reduction on insurance should be
closer to the cost of making these
changes if they expect ua to make the
changes they desire. We should like
to do if they ean show us wherein it
would be to our advantage to do so.

LEADERSHIP WON
On the Baais of Quality
Quite logically leadership
can only be won on merit.
Leadership is something
that cannot be forced or
hocuspocussed into life. It
must be earned, and earned
every inch cf the way. It is
perfectly natural that the
Model Cleaners and Tailors
should be rewarded with
the place of leadership we i
hold in the cleaning and
tailoring business of Am-
i i
ance ana vicinity, it was s
won by a faithful adherence
to the principle that work
manship and service is the
biggest single factor in
doing a big successful ;
cleaning and tailoring busi
ness. !

PRAIRIE FIRE CONQUERED
BY MANY WORKERS
(Continued from Tage 1.)
City Manager Kemmish, who sent
several of the city workmen to the
scene of the b'aze, is figuring on hav
ing a fire drag built, in order that the
city volunteer firemen may be better
equipped to cope with future prairie
fires. The expense is negligible. In
fact, several ranchers own drags but
usually do not bring them out until
the situation is desperate, unless their
own ranches are far from the path of
the flames.
The log chain does effective work,
but it takes a fairly husky man to
une one to advantage. At the Wednes
day blaze, one or two men got them
selves pretty well tangled up with
the flames in an effort to swing the
chain where it would do the most good.
The favorite method is the use of
shovels or wet sacks, and many of
the Alliance volunteers brought wi:b
them tiuantities of the sacks ard milk
cans full of water to keep them in
proper condition to dampen the flames.
The district where the Wednesday
fire raged is a valuable hay valley.
Prairie fires do not, as a rule, do much
damage in farming lands, because
plowed fields stop their course. Short
pasture grass makes slow progress for
such a blaze, and some of the o'.d
timers in Box Butte, who gathered to
assist the fire-fighters with both work
and words, tell of seeing a prairie fire
die out when striking a bunch of short
grass. The country where the fire
struck this time, however, is ideal for
spreading, and with a fifty mile wind
back of it, could easily have spread
over miles of territory had not prompt
action stopped it before it struck the
sandhills, only a few miles to the east

ARKANSAS MAN WAS IN
ALLIANCE ON SAD MISSION
(Continued from Page 1).
There was a long delay in getting
hold of relatives of the dead man.
This, Taylor explained, was due to the
fact that Rushing, Ark., is a small
'own, and that Mrs. Bennett was vis
iting wth him, some distance from the
town. The telegram had to be sent by
mail, and it was two or three days be

home," he said. "The boy will want
to wear that hat when he grows up.
He's going to have about that size
head."
After a thorougn examination of
the body, Taylor stepped back drama
tically. "Gentlemen, he said, "if I
were called on the stand I'd have to
testify that's IeRoy Bennett. Thej
knife scar, the burn and the other!
things are all the proof I need. I'm
ready to prove my identity and start
back."
Finds $30 More in Clothing.
Mr. Taylor asked permission to look
at the clothing of his brother-in-law.
The first thing he examined was a
piece of the overalls that had been
taken from the body. A small safety
pin caught his eye. He investigated.
I There was a small pocket on the under
i side of the overalls which it fastened.
Inside was $30 in three ten dollar bills.
Mr. Taylor was considerably excited,
and insisted on a thoroujrh examina
tion of the rest of the clothing, but a.

"Save that latch pin." he raid,
handing the safety pin over to thr.
sheriff, together with the money. "Hi
wife will want that as a keepsake."
The Arkansas man, following ikm
discovery of the money, was moat
jubiant. "This thirty dollars," he said,
"will iust about pay my railroad fare
back home."
Bennett, he said, had just sold hi
homestead near Cushman. Mont., and

Mrs. Bennett had just recently coma
frofn Montana, after living there with
her husband for seven or eight years.
They had planned to purchase a farm
near Hollister, Mo., their old home.
His wife not being with him, Bennett
had apparently decided to save carfare
home, had sewed the proceeds of the
farm in his overalls and started to
hobo it, when death overtook him.
The household goods were sent on to
Hollister ome time before he started
on the trip, Taylor said. Bennett was
thirty-eight years old, he said.
