The eighth annual National uuaru encampment since the reorganization of the Guard in Nebraska toiiov.ing the World war, is being beiu ai in land, where a permanent camp was established by the state at great ex pense, following the second encamp ment held here in 1922. Tim oniisted nersonncl of the regi ment has also greatly increased in size since the encampment nere, uu, it included only the i:54th Infantry and a small medical unit. Now tho organizations include 134th Infan try, wagon train, motor transport, hospital and medical corps aim soon an aviation unit is to be added. Thn l.T4th is composed of tlie same four battalions as when it was here, with J.nt slight shifting around in the towns from which the different companies come. The old Annum company has blown up and Nebraska nli. two. Uattalion Hqrs. and Co. A. Major Fisher of Falls City; is in command of the first liattai ion. Major Ciine now having com mand of the Third Iiattalion. Permanent buildings at the camp, lncnted on the Platte river, just north of the D-L-D highway, include some twenty odd screened-in company kitchens, the officers mess nan, regi mental headquarters, toilets, wasn rooms, etc. The greater part of the officer's "pup"' tents are also set on frame floors, with screen around the outside. The company street pre- ents a verv neat appearance and reminds one of the old rantonement days back in 10 17-1 S. Yesterday was visitors' day and people were there from all over the state to visit with relatives in me National Guard or view the sights. Next Sunday is "Governor's day" and an even greater crowd is expected. Next vear the state plans to lur- ther increase its investment in the Ashland canin by the erection of a Memorial building, containing state, auditorium. recreational facilities. etc. At present the boxing matches and other entertainment are held in an open-air arena. The government provides ample rations and most of the companies have a separate mess fund of their own for the purchase of delicacies to be added to the bill of fare, and so yesterday the Guardsmen fared nobly in the matter of eats. Although there are practically all new faces among the enlisted men, the officers are largely the same as n command here, especially around regimental headquarters. Adt. Gen. Paul, Col. Amos Thomas, Lieutenant Col. Douglass, Camp Adjutant O'Con- nell and other familiar faces were noticed there yesterday during the brief time a Journal representative visited the camp. Plattsmouth had a great opportun ity to furnish either a Hqrs. company or a hosnital unit following the en campment here, but failed to muster enough interest to provide for the organization of even such small size unit as this requires. The greatest hardship entailed is inability to get off for the two weeks taken up with the annual encamp ment, but in some of the towns pub lic spirited employers grant their men leave of absence on pay, while performing Guard duty, the most notable instance of this being the case of Company K, whose members are all employees of the Union Pa cific in Omaha, and receive regular pay while they are off duty. This is the "crack" company of the regiment and won the American Legion's lov ing cud here six years ago, as well as copping off most of the prizes at the different encampments that have followed the one here. AUTO USED USED IN BANK ROBBERY FOUND MONDAY State Sheriff W. C. Condit an-1 nounced Monday morning that fur- ther investigation into the robbery of the Newman Grove State bank which took place early last week had led to the discovery of the automobile j used by the bandits. The car, a Chevrolet sedan, was found in a hollow on an infrequent ly used road about twelve miles j northwest of Newman Grove. It was apparent that the robbers had been j met at that point by confederates in another car, which had driven there from the opposite direction. It had previously been reported to the state sheriff's office that the car used by the robbers was a large Au burn touring car. The small sedan was found to be the property of a contractor named Manning, at Grand Island, Condit said, and had been stolen from a parking place in front of the Elks club at that place Sun day night, August 5. Stolen Platte county license plates had been placed on the car and the original pair removed. DR. LIVINGSTON IMPROVING From Wednesday's Dally Dr. J. S. Livingston, who has been confined to his home since Saturday afternoon with a very severe sick spell, is now Improving nicely but is required to remain quiet, not a small job for the genial and popular physician. He has been able to be up and around the home but has re ceived the mandate of his physician that he must remain quiet and avoid his usual activities for some time at least. It is hoped that in a short time Dr. Livingston will be able tc be out and around and to take up his usual activities. Phone nj the news.

The charge for these parts is low, however, because of the established Ford low-price policy. So that you may get the greatest use from your Model T Ford over the longest period of time, we suggest that you take the car to the nearest. Ford dealer and have him estimate on the cost of putting it in good shape. A very small expenditure may be the means of giving you thousands of miles of additional service.
