The in-built quality of the Light-Six Sedan is evident the moment one gets behind the wheel, and is appreciated far more after twenty-five or thirty thousand miles of service. The Light-Six Sedan, with its sturdy four-door body, its improved L-head motor, and the excellence of its chassis, combines distinction of appearance with a reliability of performance, a degree of comfort and economy of operation unknown in any other car at anywhere near its price. isfy the most exacting owner MODELS AND PRICES, o. b. factories LIGHT-SIX j S-PnCIALSIX J BIO-SIX S-Purt., 112' W.

Fifteen hours alone on a make shift raft of three small lops on the Missouri river was the experience Monday night of Conrad Wood, 14, son of Mrs. Sarah Wood of Colum bus, Nebraska, and nephew of Mrs. Ernest Forter of this city. The young man was rescued at Nebraska City yesterday. The boy had come to Council Bluffs recently from his home at Co lumbus and was making his home with an uncle. E. P. Miles, 3 643 Sixth avenue, and on Monday after noon decided that it would be great sport to shoot mud hens out on the Missouri river and accordingly, arm ed with a shotgun, boarded an im provised raft near the mouth of In dian creek and with a pole pushed the raft out into the creek to do his shooting from. About 4 o'clock the boy noticed that the raft was getting beyond his control as the water grew too deep to propel the raft with the pole and it was only a few moments until the raft and boy were out in the main current of the river which, swollen to flood proportions, soon swept the craft and its occupant rapidly down stream. Connie did not at first experience any fear as he expected someone to come out in a boat and pick him up but the rapid current soon carried him to portions of the river remote from habitations and before he again Meet at Home of Mrs. Harry White and Enjoy Passing Hours in Renewing Old Times. From Wednesday' Dally. The home of Mrs. Harry WThite in the south portion of the city was the scene of a very pleasant gathering yesterday afternoon when the mem bers of the class of 1910 of Platts mouth hih school met to renew the associations of the days gone by and to enjoy once more the democratic and friendly feeling that is one of the joys of school days. The time was spent largely in the discussion of the changes that have transpired since the class stepped forth from the high school and in this occupation many pleasant mem ories were revived and enjoyed by the members of the party. At an appropriate hour the hostess served very dainty refreshments which were much enjoyed and ap preciated by the jolly party. Those attending were: Mrs. Harry White and son, Allan; Mrs. James Rishel and children, John, Louise and Bur ton; Mrs. John Kelly and children, John and Ellen Marie; Mrs. Ed Ro man and son, Edward; Mrs. Frank Barkus and children, Catherine and Helen; Mrs. George South, Miss Mary Peterson and Miss Gertrude Morgan.
