THE STUDEBAKER LIGHT-SIX SEDAN
Where Quality Counts Above
Everything Else
Quality is more important in an en
closed car thrji in most any other
product in dally use.
Regardless cf price, it is net econ
omy to buy a makeshift job in which
the quality is skimped end cheapened
at every turn. Paint, imitation leather
and fibre bord too often cover serious
structural defects and cctton-oiid-vvool
trimming cloths pre short lived. The
chances are that the buyer vill more
than poy the diffcrencclater in higher
upkeep cast, frequent repairs and ex
cessive depreciation.
The price of the Light-Six Sedan is
the lowest at which it is possible to
obtain a substantial, high grade hard
wood and steel body, upholstered in
mohair, in combination with a chassioof
proved dependability end performance.
Power in surplus measure to sat
Studebaker's South Bend plants
build more high quality closed bodies
than those of any other automobile
manufacturer and consequently over
head costs are reduced and the price
to the customer is low.
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.

Fifteen hours alone on a make

Monday night of Conrad Wood, 14,
son of Mrs. Sarah Wood of Colum

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

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

and swallowed it and it was needful
to l urry with him to an Omaha hos
pital, where an operation was per
formed to remove the offending ob
ject. The little fellow could not sur
vive the ordeal and died the day fol
lowing the operation, on Wednesday.
The body was sent to Wesley com
munity. Mills county, Iowa, and tak
en to the home of his grandparents,
Mr. and Mre. G. B. Fickel. Funeral
services were held from the Wesley
chapel church Friday afternoon con
ducted by the pastor. Rev. Morton.
Burial was in the Wesley church
cemetery. Music for the services was
furnished by a quartet composed of
Mesdames George Parker and June
Fickel and Messrs. Claude Wilson
and Dallas Mi Grew, with Mrs.
Claude Wilson at piano. The pall
bearers were Glen and Waldon Sow
ers, Clinton and Lynn Farker.
William Bertis Blunt, second son
of Mr. and Mrs. Russell Blunt, was
born in Wesley chapel community
and about a year ago his parents
moved to Plattsmouth. He is surviv
