Box Butte county purchasers of
bootlcj; whisky ami there sue a few
of them will be interested in the
fctory of a laid on the Oak Ix-af dairy
farm, fhe miles out of Denver, where
fifteen gallons of moonshine whi. ky
were seized, along with fifty barrels of
fcujjar and corn mush and other para
phernalia for the distillation of moon
shine, ihe raiding officers also dis
covered a big water tank, out of which
tho water for distilling was drawn, to
contain dead c;:ts, dead rats, dead field
mice, dead rabbits find more than a
half a ton of indescribably filthy ref
use. IVobably only a small percent
age of moonshine whisky is manufac
tured under such filthy conditions, but
how is the thirsty purchaser to make
sure that the stuff he buys is not?
Bootleg is made to sell, and has been
judged chiefly on the strength of the
wallop that it gives. The smell of
some of tho stuff taken by Alliance
nl Box Butte county officers would
bear out. almost any suspicion. It is
generally believed that Denver is the
source of supply for a number of
western Nebraska booze runners. The
filth uncovered in that water tank
made some of the officers nauseated.
It' ea.y to conjecture the effect on
the unfortunate consumers.
Governor McKelvie's secretary has
Riven to the Lincoln newspapers a le
ter from a New Zealand student, sent
to Governor McKclvie, in which the
New Zealander betrays his belief that
Nebraska is pretty well dominated by
Mormonism, and that polygamy is rife
here. He asks questions which are
fairly amusing. Among them is a
query whether our Mormon-, lives with
other women beside their wives;
whether the Mormon church brings
pressure to bear on civil and s'ate i f
ficial.s and if the passport system of
the United States is able to detect
giris coming to America to become
polygamous wives. The letter is t.iken
ns a joke by the reporters and jic
of the state officials, but the New Z.'a
lander would get a good lauxh if he
could turn the tables and ask the fel
lows who think his ignorance so dense
to tell what they think they know
about New Zealand.
KTKH'KTTK IN CLUUROOM
An important problem in etiquette
has just been decided at Omaha, and
every clubw oman 'in Nebraska will be
anxious to know the result. It seems
that for some time club circles in the
metropolis have been agitated over the
question of whether the presiding
officer should wear her gloves while
conducting a meeting. The widder of
the gavel in the Omaha Woman's club
wears her throughout the meeting. So
do the presiding officers of mol of the
departments.
Mrs. Draper Smith, authority on
club matters, observes that tho pre
siding office, s of many la ;? J- -even
Rational convention.; which .-be has
attended hove removed not t.nly the
irloves, but the hat, thus creuting "an
informal, homey atmo. phere", which
puts all the members or il"lrtUes at
V-Jr case inst aider1. The newly e'ect
d president of the junior leag'ii Hears
no gloves at all, at least not in the
meetings. Officers of the Drama lea
gue and "Fine Arts society wear
gloves only while introducing the
speaker for the session, after which
they remove them.
The last word has been spoken by
Mrs. O. Y. Kring, leader of the public
speaking department of the Omaha
Woman's club, who says: ''Wear
gloves if presiding' at a formal raeet-
4cg,i)f a' large and fashionable group;
remove them at a smaller, less formal
meeting." This decision take the
middle group and should '-e accepted
as final, leaving, as it does, the way
open for every presiding officer to
decide wnetner ner particular club is
large, formal and fashionable, or
mailer and more "homey." The meet
ing may now come to order.
Some of these days it's too soon to
hope for a definite pronunciaiento
we'll be informed by the authorities
just when is the proper time for
Madam Chairman to light her cigar
ette, or whether it is ever proper for
her to sit with her feet on the rostrum.
Until the word come. our advice to
presiding officers is to follow their in
clinations. Roberta Rules of Order do
not yet include some of these impor
tant points.

Rome Norfolkans who opposed the
city manager idea in the municipal
elections last spring are watching the
Alliance experiment with much it tt r
est and are already favorably impres
sed with the showing being made by
Manager Kemmish who imon other
things has had made an investigation
of insurance rates. Mr. Kenini h has
made some radical changes in the fire
department over there and proven his
point that the fire fighting equipment
of a city is of chief advantage to the
insurance companies inasmuch as it

the insurance companies and that Al

Your Happiness
Depends Entirely On YOU!
Everybody Is Saving Today
The pendulum of human actions is swinging backward. Up until the
last year the average American was a very extravagant individual. He
bought lavishly because his money came easy. He knew where there was
more. Today he has tightened the purse strings. The Saving Habit is being
developed. , x
Someone is Saving Your Money
Did you ever stop to think that someone is saving the money YOU
earn. It may not linger in your pockets long, but rest assured that it will
be put away in a savings account before it gets very far.
Why Don't You Save It Yourself?
Why not get in line with the general idea today? Start a savings ac
count. Be prepared for your old age. Commencing an account is the hard
est part it's a pleasure to keep it up.
