G. O. P. Candidate
for U. S. Senate
Denounces Tariff
An Alliance dispatch to the Lincoln
Star, dated May 2tf, bears the follow
ing information relative to the posi
tion of Frank Johns, well known trav
eling man and candidate for United
States senator, on the subject of the
tariff. Mr. Johns apparently does not
agree with some of his party's leaders
on the subject. The Star say:
"Frank Johns, republican candidate
Tor United States senator, discussed
the tariff question Thursday night in
pier and considerable damage was
done. The hard windstorm several
days ago helped make wreckage of the
pier, taking off some ten feet of it.
The chamber of commerce members
plan to hold some swimming events at
the municipal pier on the Fourth, and
nave autnonzed the committee in
charge of arrangements to 'make the
minor repairs necessary for the races
North Star Route
to Be Completed in
Next Thirty Days
The North Star route, which has
been held up for several months until
the chambers of commerce of this city
and Bridgeport got together and ar
ranged a compromise route that was
acceptable to the county officials of
box Hutte and Morrill counties, will
be pushed throu&rh and nut in shDi
within the next thirty days, according
io advices irom uriageport.
Road crews are now grading nnd
surfacing the road on the other side
of Bonner, and the Box Butte county
portion of the road is receiving neces
sary attention. When the two crews
come together, a trip of Bridgeport
road boosters to Alliance is planned.
At the Monday dinner of the Alli
ance chamber of commerce it was
voted by the members to stage an en
tertainment in commemoration cf ;hc

with these words: "Consider the pos
tage stamp, my son; its chief virtue
lies in the fact that it sticks to one
thing until it gets there." He told
of the value of kindness, courtesy, gal
antry, tenderness, call it what you may
in going through lite. He told some
humorous stories in which this great
virtue was brought out , and recom
mended that the graduates give this
their closest attention. He maintained
that a little courtesy in life will do
more to make both ourseves, and those
we meet happy than any other one
thing. .....
Dr. Aitken then remarked that as
his train did not leave until 12:50, that
he was in no hurry- to finish, but that
out of respect for his hearers he would
cease. His hearers, however, would
have gladlv listened to such an elo-
lucnt sneaker for a great deal longer,
and the great applause he received
showed well their sentiments.

Judire James H. H. Hewitt then
presented the diplomas to the grad

Prospects Bright
for the Alliance
Celebration July 4
Reports from the half dozen commit
tees of the Alliance chamber of com
merce who are soliciting funds for
the big Fourth of July celebration
were made at the Monday luncheon of
the organization. Without exception,
the committees report fine success and
ereat enthusiasm on the part of the
merchants. It was planned to raise
$1,500 to defray the expenses of a tree
celebration, and from present indica
tions it looks as though this amount
will be fully subscribed.
Committees for the various phases
of the celebration have not yet been
named. This will be done when the
finance committee makes its report.
Among the features mentioned are a
mcinor yroorram with contestants from
nearby ranches, water events at the
municipal pier, fireworks, and other
entertainment. There Will be nft ad
mission to the events, although it is
possible that there will be a 25-cent
charge to the gTandstanu.

100,000 CarOwners Last YearReplaced
Their Original Batteries With the Vesta
Every car owner who installed a Vesta Battery in his
car last year did so because he was convinced that the Vesta
was a better battery than the one he had.
"""And bear. in mind, too, that every Vesta Battery of all
the hundreds of thousands in use has been bought to sup
plant some other make with which the purchaser had pre
vious experience. . ,
It is this preference, constantly gaining strength, that
has caused the Vesta to show an increased business year
after year, even in 1921 ; while the demand for Vesta Battery
this year shows a increase over last.
The fact that the Vesta Battery "costs less per month
of service" is due to exclusive and patented construction
features (namely, Vesta Isolators and Impregnated Mats)
which prevent the various sorts of short circuiting that
cause rapid deterioration in storage batteries.
Backing up the quality of the Vesta Battery are 3,500
Vesta service stations distributed over the United States,
operating under the famous Vesta Code, and impartially
providing service and repairs on all makes of batteries.
