Mr. Stouph states that he will have two or three, if not more, directors of the Ne braska Stockgi owers association pres ent as witnesses in the case. CHURCHES Hart Lancaster who has been section -foreman at Ellsworth for the past two J ears has resigned and will take a snort vacation, visiting relatives tmd Jr;ends in Alliance alter which he will temporarily work in the Alliance .yams, planning to have charge of a lence Rang on this division this bum mer and fall. Charles Clark of Broken Bow now Jias the Ellsworth section lormerly iield by H. Lancaster, lie tooit charge ihursday morning. The national cede of twenty-two new general working rules for railroad telegraphers which went into effect the sixteen have greatly atfected a large iuiiiucr 01 oinces on the Alliance division. Although at this writing all thi: changes were not fully decideu, the -agmcies at Sweetwater, Hazard, Berwyn, Marsland, Provo and Oreil.i il ad Dtn chnnovwl tnlit ii-lo Vum inaugurated ol eight hour working uay ;;preaa over twelve hours. At Sweetwater the agent will have four splits, the office being closed for an hour between each of his working periods. It is not thought that any more changes will be made in the near future although a falling olF of busi ness may permit changes in two or three tricK offices. The changes at this time are all in the one man agencies. For the first time in many months, business has not been balanced. Mon day several light trains and "way-car hops" were run east to handle the enormous mount of coal car equipment being rushed to us with all possible speed due to the coming coal strike, April 1. Hundreds of empty coal and box cars have been moved by the Alli ance division enroute to Wyoming mines. This together with good busi ness from the Sterling division has worked our crews the limit and it is thought a few temporary freight crews ivill be set up. The management are preparing to store engine coal at various Alliance way stations, Ellsworth, Sand Cut and one main line at Seneca will be used for storing over a hundred cars of coal besides a few cars at the various sheds. Also a large amount of coal will be stored on the west end and the Lincoln division is planning to likewise Jay in a reserve supply of coal. Conductor Thomas and crew of Ra venna laid off a trip from the east and freight pool Thursday. L. E. JJunn who worked out of Alli ance as a brakeman at various times the past ten years is visiting at the home of his sister, Mrs. Frank O'Con nor. Since quitting the railroad, Mr. Dunn hu been on a ranch near Ellsworth. Town along the route of the Pot ash highway are exjK-riencing a big spring boom in the affairs of their commercial organizations. The Hroken Dow and Grand Island organizations recently held enthusiastic meetings and at Bingham la?t week new officers were elected for the Bingham com munity club. They plan to visit An- 1 ticoh, Lake side and Ellsworth for the purpose of stirring up enthusiasm there for an early completion of the Potash highway. CHRISTIAN SCIENCE.

I Chamber of Commerce I (By Mrs. Lloyd C. Thomas, Secy.) The Monday noon luncheon was a very satisfactory one from the point of attendance and interest shown. Twenty-eight were present. The lun cheons are given every Monday noon at the Chamber club rooms. The meal is home-cooked and furnished at cost, fifty cents per plate. You are wel come. Please phone the secretary on Monday morning 74, so that a plate can be reserved for you. Representatives of the North Platte valley towns from Oshkosh to Guern sey met in Scottsbluff Monday after noon for the purpose of organizing an association for promoting the tourist business and attracting the Yellow stone park travel from the Lincoln highway via these towns, from Oga lalla to Guernsey. Alliance will be the objective of Yellowstone park and Black Hills tourists for an all night stop when the north and south high way.? and the Potash highway are com pleted. W. D. Fisher, secretary of the Sheri dan commercial club and former secre tary of the Alliance chamber of com merce, writes to inquire about our tele phone rates. Evidently Sheridan is in about the same fix as Alliance, but here's hoping we get the phone rate business settled soon in a satisfactory manner to all concerned. On Saturday the chamber had in quires by employers for several men. A ranchman wants an elderly man, single, for work on his ranch; a farmer wants five or six men to do farm work. Applicants should apply at office of the secretary. Grain Reserves on Nebraska Farms Arc Below Last Year The grain reserves as of March 1 on Nebraska farms are considerably below those of last year, but above the five-year average, according to the es timates released Saturday by Leo Stuhr of the Nebraska department of agriculture and A. E. Anderson, statis tician for the bureau of markets ano crop estimates. Present reserves are, corn, 52 per cent; wheat, 18 per cent; oats, 50 per cent; barley, 41 per cent. Both land values and cash rents are lower. Wheat reserves are placed at 10, 778,000 bushels out of the total crop of 59,875,000 bushels last year. A year ago, the reserves were 19,958,000 bushels. The bulk of last year's crop was marketed early in contrast to the marketing of the previous year's crop which was delayed by rapidly declin ing prices. About 52 per cent of the com crop, or 108,021,000 bushels remains on farms according to returns from crop correspondents. ' A year ago, 63 per cent or 160,983,000 bushels were on farms. It will be remembered that the 1920 corn crop was 48,000,000 bushels greater than last year's crop. One-half of the last year's crop of oats, or 35,027,000 bushels was report ed as reserves, March 1. Last year 48,163,000 bushels were on farms. Last year's crop was approximately 13,000, 000 bushels less than the crop of the previous year. Stocks of barley were reported to be 2,015,000 bushels as compared to 3, 564,000 a year ago. Farm land with improvements aver aged $85 per acre as compared to the 1920 census valuation of $87.91 ner acre. Land alone has an average value of $76 per acre compared to the census value of $78.87. These values may seem low, but consideration must be given to the fact that these are aver age values for the state. More than 25 per cent of the state lies within the sand hill section which the census values at approximately $20 per acre. The average value of poor plow land is $75 per acre; good plow land, $12! per acre; all plow land, $105 per acre. Cash rents have been reduced also. The average cash rent per farm per acre is $4. The average cash rent for plow land is $5.13 per acre and for pasture land, $1.20 per acre. The low average rental for pasture is explained from the fact that nearly half of the pasture land is within the sand hill section with an average rent of 50 cents per acre. It usually requires ten or more acres of pasture per head of live stock annually. Estimates of grain reserves for the United States now and a year ago are as follows: Corn, 1,313,120,000 bushels and 1,564,832,000 bushels; wheat, 131, 136,000 bushels and 217,037,000 bushels; oats, 404,461,000 bushels and 683,759,000 bushels, barley, 40,950, 000 bushels and 65,229,000 bushels.

We have been very much pleased with the response to the announce ments of our pre-Easter campaign One week from next Sunday, or March 26, is "Neighbor's Day." Please keep this in mind. S. J. EPLER, Minister. BAPTIST CHURCH. These notes are dictated from the bed where the pastor has been con fined all week with a touch of the flu, and a near nervous prostration, how ever, at this writing he is getting along nicely and hopes to be able to preach a special sermon to the lodge of the DeMolay boys next Sunday morning. He regards it quite an I honor to be invited to preach this ser mon, as it was just a year ago that he preached the Templar sermon, made j up mostly or fathers or these boys. The topic for -the sermon will oe, "What the World Owes to De Molay, pnd what the DeMolay Boys of Today Owe to the World." I The pastor had intended to repeat the lecture he gave last Sunday even ing at the Roof Garden next Sunday afternoon, but this must be postponed until April 2. So many proale vcic turned away, ami so many iao i -Ut-u that he repeat it that he ha-i decided to irir it on that date. Baptism services that were to be held next Sunday will be po.-.lpenei. mini ine lo, lowing week. Kev.

Many believe as many people were turned' away as got in the building !n t Sun day. No doubt the fire had something to do with it, Kev. Fowle was at one time pastor of the largest chuivh in Galesburg, HI., the home of Garyism ana Knows the capital nnd 'aror pu.b lem as few men do. You will be sure to enjoy his sermons.

Doy Scouts Are to Have Regular Wireless Station The Boy Scouts of Alliance are to have a real wireless station at a ga-j rage building situated at 324 Emerson, which is being fitted up for the pur pose. The scouts are assisting in get ting the building floored, and this building will be used until more com-, modious quarters can be secured. The scouts now have a sending as well as a receiving apparatus, and Sunday afternoon from 6 to 6 sent out a phonograph concert. A telegram i from W. D. Snyder and son of Scotts-1 bluff, received Monday, reads: "Got your music fine yesterday, five to six. Cannot you give, us some more to niejw, nine in irn ' ' A number of Alliance people have been most liberal in assisting the boy cents with their wireless work. The I'hiele drug store is furnishing the jfhor.o'.rrahp nnd records for the wire less' concerts. The local scouts are seeking membership in the American association of amateur radio operators, nnd this w ill allow them permission to send messages through tne air. They announce that when their sending ap paratus is completed, messages will be accepted for transmission, for any dis tance, free of charire. Amateur oora tors are not permitted to make money from the radio. Scoutmaster B. W. Kench, who finds that the scouts are having a fairly hard time getting together sufficient funds to orfect their radio equipment, admits that while there w ill le no pub lic campnign for funds, assistance of a material nature is welcomed by the scouts. The wireless should prove a good advertisement for Alliance, as every message that goes out bears the number of the Alliance Scouts, ! O B. PLEASANT VALLEY Mr. and Mrs. John Rolerts spent Sunday with Mr. and Mrs, G. A. Os bom. Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Roland called at Ace Pippett's Sunday afternoon.

Always sweet nnd unselfish she was the idol of her brothers, three of whom were in) f hool w ith her. She had but recently passed her seventh birthday. Her death came after a serious illness of less than a week. Besides her parent' r.nd four brothers she Is mourned by host of friends, none of whom will miss her more than her schoolmates. Gambling mania is reported growing in Germany, but perhaps it is only, hearing people "bet a million" (marks) so often. Several sovietists have at least sue reeded in doing away with the mis taken old idea that all anarchists wear whiskers. The advance of Liberty bond prices should reassure those who believed what the soap boxers said about the government. ANNOUNCEMENT. Commissioner, Third District.

I A new way to treat croup Spasmodic croup relieved or warded off by rubbing on a vaporizing salve. The old method of treating spasmodic croup with nauseat ing drugs is out of date. So is the vapor-lamp scheme that re quired the bedroom windows to be kept closed. Now mother rubs the little one's chest and throat with Vicks, arranges the bedding so that the arising vapors will be inhaled all night long, opens the windows to let in the blessed fresh air, and re tires confident of a good sleep. Vicks has come to be the al most universal treatment for children's cold troubles, be cause it does away with dosing. Vicks contains the old, time tested remedies Camphor, Men thol, Eucalyptus, etc. combined by special process, so that while they penetrate and stimulate the skin, the ingredients are also released as vapors by the body heat and are breathed right into the lungs. Just rub it on and U (S 1S D breathe in the vanors V VaroRuo vapors CW 17 MilLon Jan (M Yttrij FOR TEN DAYS The Rumer Motor Co. will place on sale at ACTUAL COST their entire line of tires, tubes and all automobile accessories made from rubber, as we will dis continue this line of goods.
