SOMETHING NEW.
TosKibly the prophet was ri(rht
about it, and there i nothing new
uruler the un, but the other day some
thing happened to us for the first time.
The Herald has but one rule in regard
to stories of olTenscs against the law
-and that is to print all of them. Sev
eral times we have explained just why
this course is followed, and the aver-
one of their members. But for the
first time, we had a man say to u.
.n effect: "The culprit is my son, all
right, but he's over twenty-one. What
he doe.? is his own responsibility, not
his parents'. I've no objection to your
giving him what's coming to him, but
leave me out. I'm not to blame it's
none of my affair."
If we were inclined to sermonize,
lire's a topic that is worth discussion.
But you can take this father's attitude
as a hasis lor a lecture ana write it
yourself if you need it.

This city, has for several years,
rxnsored an annual race meet. It
lias been an expensive proposition,
There have been cards that were
equalled only by the large racing cen
ters. It takes money to hang up
purses that will attract the crowds
from, any great distance. Large
purses require heavy attendance, and if
the attendance cannot be counted upon,
the admittance fees are high. The
chamber of commerce, which has
- lathered the race meets, hns lost
money every year but one, and the
race meet account has shown a grow
in ir balance on the red side of thu
ledger.
Which brings us to the idea of rev-
eral merchants for the conduct of ;hc
race meet this year. It is suggested
that racinc is a popular sport; and
that people in this part of the country
like to come to celebrations of some
kind. Alliance can hardly afford not
to stage some sort of entertainment
at least once a year. The merchants
in ouestion have taken a tip from
Fairview. This little community of
live farmers have managed to do
wonders in entertaining their own
people all the time, and the entire
county once in a while. They have
teen moving spirits in the county
baseball league this year; their liter
ary programs and entertainments
draw people from a good distance
ouUide their territory. But at their
celebration last year they rang the
belL They put on a show that was
worth going to see. They weren't
prepared to handle a big crowd to the
best advantage, but the people who
came in a thousand or more automo
biles went home satisfo 1.
The Fairview ICoa or entertainment
it is pioposed to use for Alliance this
year. It is suggested that we have a
race meet but instead of making up
big purses for the owners of racing
animals from outside the state, en
courage competition of home people.
Instead of charging heavy admission
fees, the amount can be cut in half,
or ever more. The chamber of com
merce will do well to ponder over the
idea. l ast year's race meet resulted
in some good lacing, but also in con
siderable crabbing on the part of the
guests. A lot of good home men did
their viewing of the races from a point
outside the fence and far enough away
so that the ticket tellers never saw
them.
Incidentally, the chamber of com
merce is the proper organization to put
over these entertainments. It is in
terested, not primarily in making
money, but in developing gcod will
and cordial business relations. Every
public entertainment affects the stand
ing of every merchant, and all who
are interested should have a voice
in making the plans. The merchants
co-operate. With the entire member'
fchip interested, all sore spots can be
SIDETRACKED.

'The Chiropractor." His big muscular

her bat tone and she seemed to cringe
with every adjustment. One of the
most popular dances was being per
formed by a little girl with bobbed
hair and a short fat fellow. She had
forgotten to tie a string about her
waist, and he was holding her fondly
and lovingly to his breast to prevent
her escaping from him. They did very
little foot work but kept up a con-

and placed the tip of her powdered
nose just under his right ear while he

Although they were bumped into by
several couples they never relaxed

HEART TO HEART
(York Republican)
There is something strange about
the average subscriber's attitude to
ward his newspaper. A subscriber
who will be very frank to tell his
grocer that the butter was strong or
the clothier that his suit doesnt give
satisfaction, will call at the newspaper
office and stop his paper without a
word of explanation, or, if he has
nofc attained the full stature of man
hood he will mark it refused at the
postoffice. The newspaper business
is iust a little different than any other.
The newspaper is the product of some
editor s industry and talent. How-
much of the latter he may lack does
not matter. The paper is the child of
his fancy and ambition, we ieeis
and his position is eminently correct.
that relation between himself ana nis
subscribers is something more than
barter and exchange. It is a persona
interest and when the paper has of
fended a subscriber or fails longer to
enlist his interest and patronage the
editor has a rieht for his own satis-
1 action and the good of the paper to
know wherein the fault lies. Editor?

on a wave of dissatisfaction with

The present huge G. O. P. majority.
independent observers admit, is large
ly the result of the nation-wide unrest
which had this country in its grip in
1920. Sensing this unrest, the "outs"
could not resist temptation.
"Vote for us. they chorused from
Maine to California, "and we will bring
you back the good old days!"
"Normalcy" was the most effective
appeal of all these candidates. Folks
were told that a victory for Harding
meant a through ticket on the Good
Times Express right back to the milk-
and-honey days ot before the war.
But somehow "normalcy got side
tracked.
Taxes are still high and may go
higher. Between Secretary of the
Treasury Mellon and congress they are
prophesying a 1750,000,000 deficit in
our next budget and new taxes will
have to be levied to meet it.
Farmers are up against it and
clamor in vain for relief. Industry is
still nervous and the cost of living re
fuses to climb down albeit the very
bottom has dropped out of farm pro
ducts, basis of our living.
Wages arc on the decline ana some
6,000,000 unemployed are looking for
jobs.
ihese are just a iew oi me kicks
"Normalcy" has received.
So it is that beads of clammy per
spiration stand forth on the apprehen
sive political brow.
It's going to be a hard summer.
Just as it has done for all opportunists
since time began, the season has ar
rived for reconciling the "now" with
called.
THE NEWEST DANCES.
(Merriman Maverick.)
Recently Brother Green attended a
modern dance, and in the beginning of

that when he was a boy he used to
attend a H;ince occasionally his own
self. "Then,' says Green, "they
danced the cotillion, the schottisehe.
the polka, the waltz ami the quadrille.
"These days," continued Green, "I
was hearing so much about the fox
trot, the do:? walk, and the bunny hug.
and that famous jazz music that I got
curious. Ihe first thing I noticed was
the music. The pianist was playing a

to climb up the front of the pianc
and on top without stopping to spit

he called the 'The Hod Carrier's De

dancers. One rather young couple both

Vou Should Know EXACTLY
Which Grade of Motor Oil to Use
IT sometimes happens that an unusual operating con
dition in a given make of motor makes advisable the
use of a grade of motor oil which would not have been
used had the motorist used ordinary methods of selec
tion or followed casual advice. ,
The matter of finding precisely the right lubricants for
your motor for everybody's motor seemed 60 neces
sary to this company that our experts examined the
entire field of automotive equipment; testing, checking
and re-testing, until a chart of specifications was evolved
which makes it impossible for you to go wrong.
This chart, called the Polarine Chart, is printed in the
Red Crown Road Map, which has been mailed to every
Nebraska motorist. If you have not received it, write
direct to the company. A brief glance at the chart will
tell you which grade of Polarine you should use. Follow
the specifications consistently and much of the over
hauling, replacement cf worn or broken parts, burned
out bearings and other expensive and unnecessary repair
jobs will be eliminated.
