The purchase price for the two lots of land was $17,000, Long' share of the money being about 45,000, which was not only a fair, but a high price for sandhill land at that time.

At Alliance A meeting of those interested in the formation of a charity organization for Alliance has been culled for next Monday noon at the chamber of com merce headquarters above the Bren nan drug store. This action was taken by the chamber of commerce members present at the Monday luncheon this week, at which time the matter was he i-uhict of discussion. City Manager N. A. Kemmish called attention to the need for centraliza tion of the charity activities of the city and urged an organization with iomeone in charge who would accept the responsibility of distributing aid where it was needed. Rev. B. J. Mii.ort, pastor of the Al iance Baptist church, gave a number of instances of duplication of effort A-hirh had come to his knowledge. He I told of one family in Alliance to which ic BMi oeen i ui nisumjs iuui, iuiiuuk :nd groceries ionatnl by members 01 .is congregation. He discovered after .wo or thiec weeks during which he .ad been agisting them that two oth r minsters in the city were carinp or the same family, which had been wccpting assistance thankfully from .11 three r.f them. In the same block vas ano'Jier family, in even more des it.ute circums -tance?, which had not jeen given iny assistance.

Another .uvn, when offered a' job at 40 cents an jour to enable him to take care of his &m:ly had grown ciu'te vexed about it ind had demanded 50 cents, saying hat he'd blow his brains out before he would work for 40 centa an hour. . Need for Investigation The need for a central charity or ganization to care for the needy anJ ientitu'.e in the city was urged in or- r ler that wnwne would make piopc-r .nvesrigation and in order to prevent he present duplication of effort. Ay t is now, every church has a charity fund and several of the city's organi- are also doing some charity the United States and Canada. Many very interesting subjecw were dis cussed although the program was not carried out as planned. The out standing feature of the entire meeting hlch impressed us wan the vast dif ference between the south and east as compared to the west. They discussed ways and means or doing certain things which we have settled here long ago. They are held down by old laws, customs and traditions not known in the west which greatly hamper their progress. We are glad of them. One person even asked me if the grass grew out here . We were proud indeed to represent Alliance which our lug brotner city on tne east border of the state sajs- is the livest city in Nebraska. Wherever we went great interest as shown in the city manager move ment. People everywhere now are thinking more than before and arc going to demand more strict business methods in city airairs. I enioved the trip but I am glad in deed to be back to our wonderful lit tle city of Alliance.
