Possesses important feature of design which are found also in those higher priced cars as embodying the very latest and best engineering practices. These superior features, which for two years have distinguished the Oakland Six as a car of unusually advanced design, and which are now employed in the latest models of many of the mere costly cars, not to be found in their entirety, in any cf the oilier cars in the Oakland price-class. As a result, the Oakland Sensible Six, in the estimation of the buying public, is raised above the plane of its price, rnd naturalij' is compared to and competes with cars of considerable higher price than its own. n is . h PL ATTS MOUTH WHITE FAMILY HOLD A REUNION AT SIDNEY, !A, Y t -il:iy at Sidney, la., was hoU :i f.nniiy ii-.mion cf ihv family of Mr. M ! s.

It was certainly a'great pleas tile for the ladies to work on the tenets, as whh one unfortunate ex cel Lion every man and woman re-quia-ited to subscribe jrave their bit v.ir.ir.irly or courteously refused for legitimate reasons. The pretty little booths located alonir Main street, lov ingly shrouded in the Stars and Stiipes were the most popular places on our city's thoroughfare, and the encouragement ri"tn by one and all gives renewed energy to come out to day anil spend the week in the serv ile of the Red Cross. We are sure that no one wants to miss the op portunity of becoming a member of this splendid and permanent volun teer society for the aid of the sick and wounded of our army and navy. ATTEND FiGHIC WITH CAR; . LATE IN GETTING THERE Yesterday morning, starting at about o'clock ar.d going with the big auto of the Rauer garage, C. E. Hartford, Val Rurkle, W. L. Egen berger, Fred Wynn and John Bauer, sr., departed for St. Joseph, Mo., where they attended the Fraternal Order of Eagles' convention and pic nic, held at Lake Contrary yesterday. Going as they did at that time, they must have had an enjoyable trip, and which should have brought them into St. Joseph at a time when things were just beginning to look up for the day, but an accident going down prevented the party getting there until o'clock in the evening. cirrs fine for being drunk. John Miller, who was at Omaha y.Urday, returned with a bottle of Electric Bitters, of which he imbibed quite freely, and which made him ap pear like he was intoxicated. For this he was apprehended, and this morning in county court drew a fine of ten dollars and costs of the case, in all about fifteen dollars. Come All!! Working f or the Red Cross Sarah Beaumont Kennedy In Memphis Commercial-Appeal. The room is lone: and wide; the hum Of quick machines is on the air; And there is babel soft of many tongues, And smiles and whispered words are there ( In that long room. For at the tables and the whirring wheels Are women, sewing deft and swift, The things a wounded soldier needs When caught to life from death's dark drift, Flotsam of war. They come of sires of olden bloody wars, These sewers in the summer sun; Through generations long since dead Their strain of ancestry has run On History's page. Here sit, in quiet groups, "Colonial Dames," Plying their needles while they tell Ancestral stories of fierce Indian strife, And how was brought, through chaos dark as hell, The Nation's Soul. And there the'D. A. R.'s knit on and on And blend a record with the thread Of how grim Revolution shook the hills And trampled fields were stained with red Of their brave sires BACK FROM AUTO TRIP TO DETROIT.' MICHIGAN V. A. Propst, the owner of the garage and the Paige selling station at this place, and who with six addi tional men went to Detroit about ten days ago for six cars, returned home last evening. These were with Mr. Propst on his return trip: Bryan Snyder, of Mynard; Wayne Propst, and four other men from Union. When they had arrived at Detroit the cars which they were to receive were not made and they had to wait until no talone their cars were completed, but hundreds of others who were be fore them. While doing so they all took a trip to Canada", where they had a fine time and were well pleased with the coun try. Last Sunday they spent their time on what is known as Belle Island, which is about seven or eight miles in Lake Huron off from Detroit, This island comprises some seven hundred acres and a zoo, having all kinds of animals. Mr. Propst speaks highly of this place as a resort, and says that it took the Plattsmouth crowd all day to see what it had to offer. Speaking about the Paige factory, lie said that they are at this time making about one hundred cars per day. It takes about ten hours to make a car. The frames are first riv eted together and placed upon an end- Iofs chain belt, and as it passes along each set of workmen add ot it in its passage until it gets to the end of the building, where the wheels are added and then the body until it comes out at the other end a finished car. In the finishing of the body nine coats of paint and varnish are required. In the Ford factory in Detroit they sire making over three thousand cars per day and it is wonderful how quick they can convert a piece of steel into a part of a car, almost like magic. Leaving Detroit they came diagon ally through Michigan towards Chi cago and found the roads very good, but not so good as the roads in Iowa where the road from Davenport to Council Bluffs was the best on the entire trip. The crops are in excel lent condition. While in Detroit it rained most every day. Passing through the corner of Indiana, just the other side of Chicago Mr. Propst found the best wheat on the entire way. The corn was fine in all the states, and much better and farther ad vanced than in Nebraska, Iowa, es pecially showing good condition, with Illinois good, too, in corn as well as other crops. The entire crowd en joyed the trip and feel that it' was worth while, if only for the sake of seeing such a great amount of fine country and good crops. The Paige company is building a new factory, covering in the two floors seventy acres and will then make 300 cars per day. CAMPAIGN FOR MEMBERSHIP. There was begun yesterday at the Sunday school at the Christian church a contest foj membership in crease, as well as the matter of se suring the attendance of all who are not members of the Sunday school.

Saturday afternoon, while making hay, Byron Reed, living just north of the city, was injured in such a man ner as to render the services of a surgeon necessary. Mr. Reed was working with a horse hay fork, when the fork was being lowered it came with much force and struck Mr. Reed in the,face, knocked him down and cut a deep gash in his face just at the side of his nose, requiring a number of stitches to close the wound. He is resting as easily as could be expected but is suffering much pain from the wound. GIVES PATRIOTIC LECTURE SERMON The Rev. J. A. Hargett, who if not patriotic, is nothing, gave a masterly discourse last evening to a house well filled, notwithstanding the heated eve ning. Rev. Hargett reviewed the his tory of the world, showing from all history the results of the desire of mankind for freetlom, and the in trigues of nations, coming down through the dark or middle ages to the compact of the kings of central Europe, touching the incident of Manilla bay, when the English ad miral threw his fleet in between that of Admiral Dewey and the German men of war, and told the Teutons to shoot when they were ready, showing the long-standing good feeling be tween the English speaking peoples. It is one of the practices of the church services to salute the flag, and declare allegiance to it, and the coun try, for which it stands, since his ministry began. JOIN THE RED CROSS CIRCLE AT CEDAR CREEK The local Red Cross Bandage circle of Cedar Creek requests all the ladies in the vicinity and adjacent territory to bring in all their old spreads, blan kets, sheets and pillow cases, and old linen tablecloths, and any other dis carded articles which could be used for cushion covers.

Now. is your chance, $1 membership, fee. ...... . Here, too, are gray-haired women looking back At wavering lines of Blue and Gray; They stitch into each garment's hem Pale memories of that vanished day, And kiss each seam. And these these other women grave of face, Folding the "dressings," lined and pressed? These are the mothers of the men Gone forth upon the new war quest Where Freedom calls. The brave, proud mothers and the "be?:t beloved"" Of all the gallant men they spare; They leave a blessing in each fold And sew in every seam a prayer That Peace may come. So here in this long room are gathered up The threads that spin the martial creed Our country holds; and here there brood The spirit wings that patriots need Of Love and Faith. ' The needles stop, the swift wheels softly whirr, The sun goes golden to the west; The Red Cross workers fold the garments by: "God keep each wearer safe and blest That is our prayer."
