A large crowd was on hand at the garage. Nelson Blood was the fortunate party, but he could not be located and he has not put in his appearance at the Alliance Motor company to claim his car. Sheriff George Jones slad that Blood had some difficulty with the "law" about a week previous and was ordered to leave the city and not come back.

The Alliance Motor company will hold the car for what is dertermined by the law as a reasonable length of time and then it will prabably be given away again. Loveland (Colo.) Herald-Where is a line of business that is not having its "trials" and tribulations Outside of the steel industry that continues to hand out millions of dollars in "bonuses" to its officials, off hand we do not know of another one. The farmer is not the only class that is having difficulty in realizing, from hard earned effort. much if any profit. And the resourceful sound thinking farmers, like similar folks in other professions and vocations will work out their own salvation. It is a time when resources have been husbanded, when unnecessary expense have been watched and when the best efforts have been made to solv e the problems as they face us individually. Americans have grown too prone to seek relief and aid for every class and condition through legislative enactment. We want to redress and remedy every situation that arises. Too many of us want "relief" for conditions that are more or less selfimposed and without applying our own personal efforts to solving them. It should be apparent to the farmers by now. and to those engaged in evcty other avocation, that political relief is the bunk, and "the berries" that never come into fruitation. But what should be had from a legislative source, and could be had if consistently demanded, is & fair adjustment of our taxing system that now throws the brunt of governmental expenses onto visible wealth while the invisible wealth goes almost scott free.
