TODAY'S IIOOCH STORY.
Standing on the slippery pavement
of a small Southern town one rainy
night, like sailors on a" reeling deck,
they were discussing a member of
their party who had to retire from
the scene of action. The principal
speaker in the group appeared to be
having some ditticulty in keeping his
footing on the swaying pavement. The
buildings on either side bowed and
rocked. The telephone poles did some
sort of contortionist stunt and even
his voice was a bit thick.
"Where's Sam?" another member of
the group asked him.
"We took him home," the first
speaker informed him between hic
coughs. "Waii he drunk?"
"Drunk? it took three of us to get
his hat in the car."
Crookedness never pays, a preacher
told us vesterdav. As nn examule. he
uointetl out the corksciew. "It's out t?3SU:SSiS:
of a job now," he said.
To Bill Mounts goes the credit for
discovering this: "The agent can dem
onstrate with it for six months, and
it's 'Btill new. But three days alter
you get it, it's a used car."
Things have come to a pretty pass
wheri it takes five bandits to rob one
small bank. It's getting so all of the
industries are crowded.
Ole Buck still uses tallow to help
him keep his hair from standing up.
However, it doesn't take so much tal
low to make it behave these days.

METHODIST CHURCH.
Bishop Stuntz, who with Dr. Cissell,
area secretary, and other leaders,
stopped off between trains in Alliance
last Monday and looked over the new
church, expressed himself as being
well pleased with the building. He
especially remarked about excellent
workmanship saying that "it couldn't
be better." The date for the dedica
tion was set for August 27, and Bishop
Stuntz will officiate. The annual con
ference which i.i to be held in Alliance
will begin the following Wednesday,
August 80.
The district conference held in
ScottsblufF last Monday and Tuesday
was for two purposes: To celebrate
the victory of the purchase of the
north hotel building for a Methodist
hospital, and for information about the
results of the Centenary. A six story
hotel building which co.;t $1GO,000 for
the framework alone, was purchased
for $40,000, less than 25 cents on the
dollar. This will make a 150 bed
hospital for the Northwest Nebraska
inference of the Methodist church.
The initial payment of, $20,000 cash
has been collected and paid on the
proerty. Work will be pushed to
completion as iu;ckly as possible, and
thus provide western Nebraska with
the best hospital between Denver and
Lincoln.

BAPTIST CHURCH.
The Bible school went on the wrone
side of the two hundred mark last
week by five. Of course there were
(juite a number that came late, but we
do not count them. Let us mako an
effort to all arrive on time this week.'
The men's class will hold their session
in the parsonage where no doubt they I
will enjoy the lessons better owing to
the lack of noise. Our crowded condi-
tion makes this move necessary. i
At Wednesday's meeting quite a lot
of business was transacted, among
which was the authorizing of the
treasurer to pay all outstanding l-ills
with the help of money received for
the two lots- recently sold by the
church. This is a move in the right i
direction, we hope soon to see a
building fund started. Just how this
will be done is not yet clear.
Arthur Wright, who was formerly a
member of the church, sent a hand
some check in memory of his wife
who died a year ago. She is remem
bered bs one of the most faithful
women the church has ever had in its
membership.
The B. Y. P. U. has a social tonight
at the church. The ladies will hold a
food sale at the Fourth Street market
Shall we not see a larger number of
fathers and mothers at Bible school
Sunday ?
Sermon subjects for Sunday are as
follows: Morning, "That Dormant
Gift"; Evening, "God's Alibi". Wel
come to the friendly church with the
friendly grip. Orchestra accompanies
all songs.

Rotarians Hear
Interesting Talk
From Hollander
The members of the Alliance Rotary
club heard a most interesting talk on
business conditions in Java and Hol
land Wednesday evening at their reg
ular Wednesday dinner. William
Zoelle, who is employed in the mechan
ical department of the Lowry &
Henry garage, wa3 the principal
speaker. Mr. Zoelle was born in Hol
land, and spent several years in Java
working on an oil project. He has
been in America only two months, but
has already an excellent knowledge of
the language, having the ability to
make himself clearly understood, al
though he speaks with a decided accent
and has some difficulties in phrasing
his thoughts in English. Following
his talk he answered the questions of
a number of members.
The system of business credits is
regarded by Mr. Zoelle as the most
surprising thing he has discovered in
connection with American Dusiness.
In Holland, he explained, it is impos
sible to buy or retail merchandise on
terms to any great extent, because of
the fluctuating value of the money.
Guilders, which are nominally the
equivalent of our dollar, are worth
sometimes aa little as 50 cents, de
pendine on the rate of exchange. This
fluctuation in value is an insurmount
able obstacle to credit business, inas
much as purchases could be made
when the exchange rate is very low
ami could almost pay for themselves
with a sudden rise.
However, he declared that reganl
less of the value of the money, a
guilder was actually worth a dollar to
the laborers at least it represented
that sum to the workingman. Aver
age wages for skilled labor are about
thirty to forty-five guilders per week,
and this is about the same as for
American laborers. However, prices
are higher. A suit of clothes contain
ing a fair amount of wool sells for
125 to 175 guilders, although cheaper
cotton suits can be purchased for 30
to 40 guilders. Gasoline sells at about
85 cents a gallon. Mr. Zoelle explained
that wooden shoes, which most people
believe are worn universally in Hol
land, are actually worn by only the
very poor and cost only a few cents.
Leather shoes cost around 12 guilders
per pair.
Automobiles are very expensive in
Java, the speaker said, a Ford car
bringing about 2,000 guilders, and the
really expensive makes bringing from
ten to sixty thousand guilders. These
ere not sold on terms at all, but on
cash payment, the car being ordered
after the money is paid. Java is "the
end of the world," he said, in distance
and in other ways. It takes about
three months for a car to arrive.
In answer to questions, Mr. Zoelle
explained that the labor unions in
Holland are not large organizations;
that they do not hang together very
well, and that in most cases, strikes
can be financed by them for only a
ween or iwo.

TIMES HAVE CHANGED. (
"Do you remember the old stories
about the boy who went to the great
city and came back home just in time
to pay the mortgage off the farm?"
Yes," replied Farmer Corntossel.
"It's different now. When a boy leaves
the farm the home folks have to hold
themselves in readiness to go to town
and help him out with his rent and his
grocery bill." Washington Evening
Star.
"Hear no evil, "speak no evil, see no
evil," is an attractive motto, but it is
hardly suited to use by a police chief.
