or of the Presbyterian church, left
vacant home tune ago by the resigna

Mr. Ferguson is greatly interested in

Doctors' Convention
of West Nebraska to
Be Held Here Monday
The annual convention of the sixth
councillor district of the Medical asso
ciation will be held in Alliance Monday
afternoon and evening. About forty
doctors are expected to be present
from the district, 'which includes the
Platte valley, and practically all of
western Nebraska.
The program, which was arranged
by Dr. Minor Jlorris, president of the
association, provides for a meeting of
the medical men at the court house
Monday afternoon, at which various
talks will be given by local and visit
ing doctors. Dr. Stoops of Scottsblulf
will talk on "Ear Problems." Dr.
Ivens of Crawford will speak on
"Radium and Its Relation to Medical
Practice." Dr. Weyrens of Alliance
will talk on "Goiters," and Dr. Bakin.
also of Alliance, will talk on "Local
Anaesthetics." Dr. Weyren's talk
will be illu.-trated with lantern slides.
A banquet will be held in the eve
ning at the Alliance hotel Palm Room,
at which all the medical men will be
present. After the banquet, Harold
Cook, will talk on the "Evolution of
Life," with special regard to the in
formation gained on this subject, from
the foscil findings in western Nebras
ka, or particularly Mr. Cook's ranch
at Agate. ,
The matter of having a semi-annual
meeting in place of the usual annual
one will be taken up. 1 his has been
suggested and it is thought possible
that the plan will be worthy of a trial.
If this is done the next meeting will
be bold in the fall, the place to be
decided ot this meeting. .

REV. SAITO TALKS
WEDNESDAY TO
THE ROTARIANS
JAPANESE MISSIONARY ENTER
TAINS CLUB MEMBERS.
Tell of Chan sea in Nationnl Life
of Japanese Empire During
Last Twenty Years.
The Rev. S. Saito, Japanese mission
ary to the Japanese of Nebraska, was
the principal speaker at the regular
weekly meeting of the Rotary club at
the Alliance hotel Wednesday evening.
He discussed in a very interesting
way the old customs of Japan which
are rapidly being replaced by modern
Hieas as a result of the travels of
membei-3 of the royal family, who, for
centuries, have been prohibited from
leaving the island by a narrow Japan
ese custom.
The native reed hats, ftraw coats
and shoes are rapidly being replaced
by American hats, rubber coats and
shoes, Mr. Saito said.
He spoke at 'ength on the political
and religious life of the Japanese peo
ple and commended very highly the
recent Washington conference which
paved the way for perpetual peace in
the Pacific.
"The Japanese representatives ex
pected to be scolded over the Shantung
affair, but they found Mr. Hughes,
the American statesman, more than
fair in his handling of the situation,"
the speaker said. "We could not see
why the United States should permit
Russia and Germany to control Vast
areas of China before the war and then
object 0 strenuously to Japans' hold
ings as a result of the aid she had
given during the conflict in driving
Germany out of China."
He said that in an area no larger
than the state of Montana, Japan was
compelled to support seventy-seven
millions of people and the constantly
c"-'" i"'i'u"i'" imimn .

The members of the club were able
to catch an intimate view of Japanese
national life, their ideas of world con
ditions and their hopes of the future
from the remarks of Mr. Saito.
Final Decision of
Kinkaid Not to
Be a Candidate
Cmipressman Kinkaid again is not
a candidate for re-election to succeed
himself. The announcement came in
the-following telegram to S. J. Weeks,
chairman of the republican district
committee, says the Lincoln Star,
"Kindly publicly announce to my
constituents that I have positively de
termined not to le a candidate for re
election. A backset I have suffered
in the fast few days with the added
conditions of weight and strength
noticeably reduced in the last year
convinces me that to now assume the
responsibilities of a congressional can
didacy would endanger my permanent
health, and certainly deprive me of the
re-t es.-ential to recuperation.
"Mv feelings of gratitude are un
bounded for the magnanimous con
sideration shown me by aspirants for
the office and friends and supporters
in general.
"M. P. KINKAID."
Local Man Arrested
Thursday Morning for
Disturbing the Peace
J. D. Pilkington was fined $10 and
costs in jiolice court Thursday on the
charge of disturbing the peace. Pil
kington plead guilty to the charge.
According to the story told in court,
which was admitted by Mr. Pilkington,
he came home about 2 o'clock Thurs
day morning, under the influence of
liquor. A short time after this the po
lice were called, as Mr. Pilkington's
wife believed that it was not safe to
have him in the house. He marie no
resistance to the officer. and was
t:-.ken to the city jail where he spent
the night. Mr. Pilkington said that
lie had rot taken n drop of liquor,
previous to Thursday for six years,
and considering the evidence and cir
cumstances the court made the f.ne
light.

ticularly entertaining and instructive
program ut their regular weekly
luneneon in the Palm Room of the
finance Hotel, Ihursday evening at
0:15 o'clock.
Cub True Miller, called upon to tell
of his visit to the recent stute Lions
convention in Omaha, made a witty
and comprehensive report. He stated
that there were DOC delegates present
at the banquet given at the Hotel
rontanelle the closing evening. He
spoke very highly of the eloquence
displayed by the various speakers, as
well as their ever-present optimism.
The speaker, in order to give the club
members an idea of the pep he found
in Omaha, called attention to two
I oya towns; one with a membership
of thirty-nine, who had thirty-seven
delegates at the convention; the other
with forty-two, and a delegation num
bering thirty-eight. There was some
thing doing every minute of the time,

consisting of auto rides over the city,
the racing, special performances at

l.ions club meetings.
former President W. U. Harper was
unanimously elected as delegate to the

The principal speech of the evening
was given by Dr. J. P. Weyrens, who
has rocently returned from several
weeks post-graduate work at the Mayo
Foundation, in Rochester, Minn., of
which he is an alumni member. Cub
Weyrens prefaced his remarks with a
little biography of the Mayo family,
beginning with the father of the pres
ent heads of the Mayo institution.
Their father was a physician many
years ago in La Soeur, Minn., a good
physician, although a very improvident

New Rural Route May
Be Established From
Local Postofficc Soon
A ww rural delivery route may be"
established out of the Alliance post
office soon, the proposed route for this
being inspected Thursday by Post
master Graham, Field Inspector Wil
liams and R. R. Reddish..
The route will go from the post office
west on second street, then south t
Matte, and crossing the railroad
tracks. It will then go one one one
fourth miles south, and turn west on
the Scottsbluff road. It will follow
the Scottsbluff road about thirteen
miles west to the old Denton place,
then turn south to the old Hagaman
place, turn back east to I.etan, then
north and slightly east from Letan,
circling Broncho lake on the east side,
