From Saturday's Dally
The sudden death yesterday morn
ing at Nehawka of James M. Stone
removed one of the best known and
highly esteemed residents of that sec
tion of Cass county and in his more
than half century residence in this
county he has made a place for him
self in the history of the county and
also in the regard and esteem of the
men and women who make up the cit
izenship of this great community.
Mr. Stone was just past his eighty
eecond birthday, having been born
July 28. IS 44, and when a young man,
more than fifty years ago, came to
Nebraska and Cass county to make
his home. He has spent practically
all of the years of his life here in and
near Nehawka where his family has
been reared and where he suddenly
passed away yesterday morning while
soing from the home of his daughter
to that of his son, Carl Stone.
James Madiscn Stone was a native
of Missouri, having been born at
Columbi3 in that state and received
his education in the schools of that
place. He came to Nebraska in 1865
and located at Nebraska City and was
engaged in the freighting business
for a number of years. In the year
1S6S he came to the vicinity of Ne
hawka and settled on a farm. Mr.
Stone was married in 1S70 to Aiiss
Millie B. Smith and -the family made
their home on the farm until 1S92
when they moved to Nehawka to
make their home.
The wife and life companion was
colled to her last reward on May 23,
190S, and since that time Mr. Stone
has made his home with the children.

From Thursday's Daily
Last evening the members of the
foreign and home missionary socie
ties of the First Methodist church
held their meeting at the church
parlors and the occasion was one of
the most instructive as well as pleas
ant that the adies have hed for some
time.
The event opened with a 6:30
luncheon which had been arranged
by the ladies and which was most
delightfully served by the members
of the Queen Esthers and Standard
Bearers societies of the church, they
being a part of the missionary or
ganization. During the luncheon the Jolly
Four orchestra which for the event
was composed of Marjorie Arn,
piano; Vernon Arn, drums; Jean
Caldwell, violin and Catherine Mc
Clusky, flute, gave a very delightful
program that added very much to the
enjoyment of the occasion.
At the close of the luncheon the
meeting was turned into the regular
mid-week devotional prayer service
in charge of Rev. Frank Emory
Pfoutz and in which the pdayers and
songs of devotion were given.
Mrs. Edward Roman presided over
the latter part of the evening pro
gram and introduced the various
features of the evening.
Mrs. J. K. Hyde, district secretary
of the foreign missionary society
gave a short talk in this part of the
work and Miss Harriett Lawley sup
erintendent of the city mission of
Omaha also gave a resume of the
home missionary work in the state
metropolis. A short talk was also
given by Rev. Pfoutz on the mis
sionary society work from the pas

W. G. Davis, secretary of the cham
ber of commerce also gave a few
remarks on the work of his organ!-

nrillS is a story of success without precedent. The
dramatic record, of a new-tyjK" car that lias
achieved "world-fame"' in three short months. A
car that has revolutionized the whole trend of
American automobile design.
On June 26th the Overland Whippet was first an
nounced. That day America witnessed the most
spectacular ovation ever given any new automobile.
Thousands of orders were placed without even a
demonstration. Many to first car buyers . . . who
found in the Whippet economy factors they had
been waiting for.
Many were sold to owners of old-fashioned,
heavy, cumbersome automobiles, who wanted a
"second car" that was fast, agile, easy to drive in
citv traffic.

then trebled ... to
Here at last was a light car that a "millionaire"
would be proud to own. A car that any woman
would find safe to drive. A car that men in all
walks of life could afford to buy. A new "vogue"
of automobile ownership was thus established in
America.
Warning to Light Car Buyers
Spurred on by this great success, other manu
facturers will doubtless bring out Whippet-type cars.
But remember the facts we told you in our first
announcement.
It took Overland engineers, in Europe and
America three years to design and build the Over
land Whippet.
A big car with little wheels is still a big car. It
lacks those things which make, the Whippet the
most economical of all cars to own . . . the most
thrilling of all light cars to drive.
It will take other manufacturers a year or more
to create such a car.
So do not expect Whippet advantages in any
other light car. Today Overland . . . and Overland
alone . . . offers you these unique engineering
attainments.
The Overland Whippet is designed to meet
modern traffic conditions.
A car engineered specifically for parking at
jammed curbs for lightning getaway at congested
traffic crossings for instant stopping in pedestrian
crowded city streets. It will pickup in 13 seconds
from to 31 miles an hour. It will stop in 51 feet
from a speed of 40 miles an hour. It will turn in a
34-foot circle park in a 14-foot curb space, which
is much less than the space required for the con
ventional type of car.

This new car has a low European-type body.
With weight and length in true symmetrical pro
portion. It is 5 feet 8 inches high ). . . not as tall
as the average man. Yet it provides more room
and comfort than you've ever found in any American-built
automobile of this class before.
4-wheel brakes are an integral part of this new
car's chassis design ... a necessity that light car
owners have not heretofore enjoyed.
Its center of gravity is extremely low, with
ample road clearance . . . thus giving a sense of
security you have never found in any light automo
bile. Something you actually feel when you drive
this car.
Two Engineering Ideals

of the most advanced European and American engi
neering thought.
is acomplctc new car . . . designed and built
as a unit . . . not an old-fashioned reconstructed
chassis.
Over three hundred and sixty thousand miles of
road tests proved the practical advantages of this
car before it was released for production.
The Overland Whippet will do 55 miles an hour
in the hands of the average owner . . . with all the
reserve power that this implies.
You can drive this car as fast as you like with

Compared with old-fashioned
bulky cars, the Whippet

the utmost east of control . . . for no light car ever
hugged the road like this before.
In traffic it gets away with amazing speed . . .
stop-watch tests show that it accelerates up to 40
miles an hour 18 faster than other light four
cylinder cars.
Smart European-Type
Body Design
The distinctive body lines of the Overland
Whipjiet frankly resemble the smartest custom-built
automobiles of America and Continental Europe.
Stand in front of this car and you can imagine
yourself on the Boulevards of France. Low-swung
. . . rakish . . . graceful as a whippet . . . that's
the only way to describe its wonderful beauty.
In the Overland Whippet you have the feeling
of riding closer to the ground . . . with the result
ant sense of solidity and absence of that sidesway
so noticeable in the conventional type of car.
Due to its unique body and dash construction
there is actually more head and leg room than in
any car of this price class.
All seats are placed in a naturally restful posi
tion so that you have complete relaxation as you
ride. No more sitting bolt-upright . . . you ride in
this car, not on it.
30 Miles on a Gallon of
Gasoline
Here at last is an automobile that will run 30
miles on a gallon of gasoline . . . well over 1,000

any car in America today.
Imagine if you can what this saving will mean
to the average owner in a single year.
It cuts present operating costs just about in
half. Doubles the value of every dollar you now
spend for upkeep.
Exhaustive tests so far indicate that the average
year's operating cost of the Overland Whippet
should save you from $75 to Si 50 in gas, oil, tires
and mechanical upkeep.
The new principles . . . the new ideas . . . the
new standards of design in the Overland Whippet
are bound to change your whole idea of light car
mechanical features. Its "high-torque" motor of
$Y&" bore by 42 s" stroke is by far the most efficient
light car engine made in America.
Because of this greater efficiency, the motor of
the Overland Whippet costs more to build, yet less
to maintain than any other light car engine built
today.
This motor actually develops more horsepower
per cubic inch of piston displacement, and pound of
car weight, than any other American-built light 4
cylinder engine. It has an 80-lb. torque . . . this
means greater pulling power . . . the ability to
master hills without shifting gears.
All 4-wheel brakes are 11" in diameter, of the
mechanical internal type. They provide 192 square
inches of braking surface far more per pound of
car weight than any other American light car built
today. Each is completely encased, thus not sus
ceptible to weather conditions.
The Whippet is not a 1 or 2 year car. Instead it
has been built to give years and years of satisfactory
service. . . . Nothing has been spared that would
improve its engineering or its quality.
You can compare the Overland Whippet with all
other American light cars on the basis of price alone.
But from the standpoint of engineering, per
formance, comfort and quality, it has established
an entirely new criterion by which all other light
cars must be judged.
oee This New Type Car
With the introduction of the Overland Whippet,
it is not sound judgment today to consider the pur
chase of a less modern automobile. Ln fairness to
yourself, see this wonderful new-type car.

usually attractive body styles . . . Sedan $695,
