In the entire world there were only eleven other automobile manufac turers whose total sale of all models equaled the sale of Studebaker Big-Sbces for 1922, and no other manufacturer sold as many cars of the Big-Six class. In addition to the Big-Six, Studebaker builds the Special-Six and the Light-Six in large volume. For the first quarter of 1923, Big-Six sales showed an increase of 70 per cent over the same period of 1922, evidencing the growing popularity of this model. Big-Six popularity is the result of Big-Six superiority. Materials and workmanship are unexcelled in any car at any price, and unequaled in any car at the Big-Six price. With its long 126-inch wheel base, big 4K-inch tires, heavy frame, scientifically distributed load, long Studebaker-made springs, the Big Six Speedster rides more comfortably than most cars selling at much mere money. Its 3 Js x 5 motor delivers a world of power, plenty of speed and a quickness of getaway hard to equal. The price is the result of quantity production. - The name STUDEBAKER is assurance of quality. It has high grade transportation for seventy-one years. C-SE3K ESr-: mm Two extra wheel complete with tire, tubes ond tire covers. Trunk and dust-proof cover. Nickrl-pistcd bumpers, front and rear.

Massey Septem ber 4, 1879. To this union was born a daughter, now Mrs. Cora Voden of Chicago. On February 17. 1SS6 he was married to Cora C. Smith at Auburn, Nebraska. To this union were born Meddie Mabel, Ina Dell, Leah Jaun ita, Wellington Wave, Irene Eliza beth and Udell Harrison. These children with the exception of Ina Dell, who died in infancy, survive their father, and are here today with their mother to mourn his loss. Mr. Mestre lived at Auburn until last October when with his wife he came to Murray to reside near his daughter, Mrs. Stasky. During the last few months of his life his health declined rapidly. He confessed Christ as his Saviour and expressed his will ingness to go to the better land. He was enrolled as a member of the United Presbyterian cliurcn of Mur ray whose members together with parties were present to enjoy the rare treat afforded them. The opening number on the pro gram was "Staccato Caprice" by Vo- jgrich, played bf Mrs. Lillian Free I man at the piano and was a very ar tistic rendition of this high class number. In fact the whole program j was one of the greatest value from i lie sianupuini oi nigu ciass music. The Masonic quartet, composed of Frank A. Cloidt. Rev. H. G. McCIus ky, Dr. R. P. Westover and L. O. Minor, gave two very pleasing num- 'bers, "My Ain Folks" by Lemon and "Lord, Hear Thou My Trayer." Mr. Cloidt was heard in a group !of two songs, "Sing le to Sleep" by ! Greene and "Mother Machree" by Ball and the voice of the tenor sing er came in very clear and fine over J the air. , One of the numbers very pleasing Jjto the radio fans was the whistling solo of Miss Alice Louise Wescott, "Amoureuse Waltz," and also "The Whistler and His Dog," and in these selections Miss Wescott was accom panied by her uncle, E. II. Wescott, at the Baldwin grand. One of Plattsmouth's favorite vo- l calists, Edna Marshall Eaton, had the distinction of being the first of J , the artists to have her voice broad- si cast over tne new izi meter wave length and gave as her numbers "Somewhere a Voice is Calling" by Tate and "A Bowl O' Blue" by Stoughton, and the sihger was heard clearly and distinctly in each of these, and to those listening in it was noticeable that the new wave length did away with the interfer ence found in the lower wave length altho it was not noticeable in the ex- cellence of the tone qualities. Chris tine Coughlin was the accompanist in this selection. i Mrs. Roy ' Cole of Mynard was heard at the piano in "Valse in E" by Moszkowski , and in which her playing was at the best and thor oughly enjoyed. ' Don C. York gave two very pleas ing baritone solos, "Little Mother O Mine" and "Sorta Miss You" by Bur leigh" and Smith, and was accompan ied by Miss Mable Lee Copenhaver. Searl &. Davis, hailed far and near as the farmer-humorist of Cass coun ty, was the spealter of the evening and pave a three minute rapid fire talk" on Plattsmouth and Cas3 coun ty : and. . in his -: own clever- and Davisque manner-told of what the Heirs of the late Adam Kloos Mrs. C. C. Adams. Mrs. Fred Sheer and Mrs. A. Z. Johnson and Mr. and Mrs. Mike Bauer file their an swers to the petition of the people who are trying to establish their title to the premises. The answer, filed separately, set up the statement that more than 30 years ago the late Adam Kloos bought the property, then attached to the mainland of Otoe county. They farmed it, cut wood and sold it, and, in fact, were in peaceable possession of the premises. Several years , later, the well known vagaries of the Missouri river became manifest in an extraor dinary manner one spring and sev eral succeeding springs and in due time the river ran between the Kloos and Bauer "land and the mainland, cutting it off entirely and surround ing it by water. The defendants al lege they were still in peaceable and notorious possession, ownership which has never been disputed until recently. . In 191S the island was leased to one Josh Gilson for a chicken ranch. The next year he transferred hl3 lease to Ira Bates. The heirs of Bates are the plaintifTs in the suit who seek to establish their ownership to the land. The defendants aver that at no time did Bates or any of his people have any right, title or inter est to the property except such a3 they may have received through thi lease to Gilson. Mrs. Rosa Sand, owner of consid erable property southeast of Nebras ka City, across the river from the is land, is also a defendant in the suit, having title, she claims, to some 30 acres of the disputed property, and she will probably file her answer to the plaintiff's petition in a short time.
