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,

considerable higher price than its own.

NEBRASKA
THE INITIAL RED GROSS
DAY IS A BIG SUCCESS
The sacee.-s of the initial Red Cross
day last Saturday was so marked
that we now have no doubt of the
ultimate splendid finish of the cam
paign. 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.

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.

Sunday school at the Christian

INJURED WHILE HAYING.
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.

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."
