tory manner as has Mrs. Berger.

they have. The reading is free to

ed on a charge of 25 cents per plate.

Making Changes in Shop
L. II. Fuls is making some defi
nite changes in his working depart
ment, which is for the betterment
of the service at his garage. He has
just recently added a new 20-inch
Weaver press, which will aid great
ly in doing the work that comes to
his place. In addition to this he is
installing a large drill press and is
lining up all the machinery, having
just moved the large lathe so it can
be operated off the 40 foot counter
shaft he is installing to convey pow
er to all parts of the workshop. The
emery wheel has also been moved to
a more convenient position where it
will be sufficiently well lighted to
enable the operator to do a good job
of polishing or grinding. All this
machinery will be operated by a five
horse power motor which he is in
stalling. "When the work is conclud
ed the shop will be the equal of any
in Omaha in point of handiness and
compact working space. Mr. Puis be
lieves in being up to date as is evi
denced by the installation of such
a large amount of new machinery.

AEROPLANE FLIES OVER CITY.

traction out of the ordinary. Yes
terday afternoon one of the human
birds flew over the city, going east
ward and traveling at such a height
that it was impossible to clearly
disinguish the machine or the bird
man. Whether or not it was a mem
ber of the trans-continental party or
not is not known, but the ship was
traveling in a straight steady flight
for the east.

It Is Only Natural
that we feel flattered to have people from neighboiing
towns do their trading with us. But honestly deep
down, we have a sort of pity or contempt for the person
who is so short sighted he will build up some neighboring
town at the expense of his own, and this is what he is do
ing when he fails to patronize his home merchant. While
we appreciate any business that may come our way, our
greatest desire is to serve the people of our own com
munity. ,
