For the past six weeks the senior
members of the Normal Training
class have been taking a course in
Normal Training penmanship under
Miss Marie .Kaufmann. At the close
of the course. Miss Kaufmann sent
specimens of the students writing to
the Palmer company and twelve of
the fourteen students were awarded
Palmer Teachers' Certificates. One
received a progress pin and one an
improvement certificate. The latter
expects to receive the teacher's cer
tificate soon, and the other student
was not trying to get the certificate.
This is a splendid achievement re
cord for this class and the members
are happy to know that they are re
ceiving the prize certificates which
recognizes a very high standard of
merit. It is also a tribute to the
work done by Miss Kaufmann.

From Wednesday's Pally
Yesterdav afternoon I ho monitors
of the Women's Koliof Corns nu t at
the home of .Mrs. Robert Troop whore
a larcre number of visitors wore pres
ent to enjoy the soot.il mootir.it of
the order and to participate in the
event which was ono of the most in
teresting hold for some tune.
The meeting was opened by the
sr. lute to the t;ig that v;s followed
by a reading. "America. by Mrs.
Robert Troop.
Mi.s Lois Troop save a very
charming piano number that was ap
propriate to the occasion wane Mi-s
Loona Melsinger heard in
a very fine pi.ru selection.
Mrs. Hat tJanutt navy one or tier
fine vocal numbers and Mrs. Troop
and Mrs. John K. Senilis a very hue
vocal ihiet to add to this p;rt of the
program.
On.- of the outstanding leaiures
of the afternoon was the history of
the flag that was made by the ladies
of Plat tsmoulh and presented to the
first eompr.ny of the Kiiv-t Nebraska
in 1S61 as ihev prepared to start
for the south. This sketch which is
given below was prepared and read
bv MU:s Olive (lass of this city:
"It is a real pleasure to me to be
asked to speak before the Woman's
Relief Corps, a body of women, many
of whom lived through the stirring
and heartbreaking times of the great
Civil war. Many of your fathers,
brothers or husbands laid down their
lives, fighting for the principles of
the United tSates. You are 'carrying
on' and are sun ngnung 10 main
tain these principles which they es
tablished at so great a cost.
"Another of your aims is to create
respect for our flag and to teach,
voung and old. the ideals of which
t stands.
"The monuments and markers you
are placing to designate nisioric
rpots, is not only education, but
creates r. sentiment in favor of
the preservation, and identification
of worthwhile places.
"I understand that you are plan
ning to place a marker on Winter-
teen hill at the spot close by the
lvingston Drive where Co. A. First
Nebraska regiment, received the- flag
made by Plattsmouth ladies and pre
sented to Co. A.
"There are some very interesting
fact connected with this plan.
"The flag itself, is now at Lin
coin in the ere of the State Histor
ical Society. Mrs. R. W. Clement has
pieces of this flag, which were rut
off in trimming and shaping the
flag and she is ready to give these
remnants of this .notd flag to the
V. R. C. whenever they are 'ready
to place the marker.
"One of the most interesting facts
connected with placing this marker
rn the Livingston Drive is that Mrs.
Clement's father. Dr. R. R. Living
ston had the honor of being elected
Captain o? Co. A. First Nebraska
regiment and it is pleasing to the
citizens of Plattsmouth that this
road has been named Livingston
Drive.
Dr. R. R. Livingston was only 31
years old when he became captain
of Co. A: he had over 100 men under
his command.
"As battalion and regimental
vacancies occurred Dr. Livingston
was rapidly promoted and became
Colonel of the First Regiment.
"When the regiment was sent
home on veteran's furlough, he was
ordered to the plains to protect im
migrants from the Indians. They
had headquarters at Fort Kearney,
where the regiment was mustered
out of service. Colonel Livingston
was promoted to brigadier general
by brevet.
"This is a brief summary of the
leader of Co. A First regiment a
regiment who by their respect and
loyalty to their leader, made it pos
sible for him to bring them to the
highest point in efficiency, where
they were recognized and rewarded
for their valor. So let us cherish
these deeds of valor. Let us erect
these monuments to their memory.
"In these days of strife for posi
tion, power or pleasure, it is refresh
ing to know that their are so many
patriotic societies, who are cultivat
ing this beautiful flower of senti
ment. Sentiment means love. Pa
triotism means love of country. Let
us do our bit to preserve sentiment
in our lives."
Mrs. Elizabeth Streight, who was
one of the girls of 1861 that had
helped make the flag and was pres
ent when it was presented, was at
the meeting and told of the Inci
dents of the presentation and includ
ing the remarks of Captain Living
ston that he would take care of the
health of his men and their wounds
provided they were not shot in the
back, and as true Nebraskans the
captain was never called upon to do
other hand he had stated he would
as regarded the men of his command.
Mrs. Streight stated also that the
flag was made by the ladies of the
community gathering in a store
building to sew, the building stand
ing where the Wescott building now
stands.
The ladies of the W. R. C. also
presented Mrs. Mary Voodra with a
handsome bouquet in honor of her
9l8t birthday which occurred last
week.
At an appropriate hour the hos
tesses,, Mrs. Troop, Mrs. Voodra and
Mrs. Jessie Hall served very delic
ious refreshments.
Those from out of the city attend
ing the event were Mrs. Charles Tun
gate, Mrs. Elizabeth Streight and
Mrs. Jesse L. Root, all of Omaha.

THESE are days when every dollar counts. The
period of reckless spending is over. People are
going hack to the good old-fashioned principles of
thrift and economy. Value is again being carefully
considered.
i'
Nowhere is this more important than in the selec
tion of an automobile. For the purchase of a car
represents a considerable investment. It shoidd not
be decided on hurriedly, but only after analyzing
every important factor that concerns cost, value and
performance. The time to do this is before buying
not afterward when it is too late.
On TIIE basis of cost, performance and the actual
comparative worth of every part, the new Ford is a
value far above the price you pay. It is made of better
materials and with greater care and accuracy because
of the recognized efficiency and economy of Ford
manufacturing methods.
The value of these methods is known and under
stood by millions of people. It is not generally real
ized, however, that these same principles of efficiency
and economy are applied also to every step in the dis
tribution of the Ford car. The low cost of selling,
financing time payments, etc., means a direct sav
ing to you of at least $30 to $75 in addition to the
money saved by Ford economics in making the car.
There are definite reasons why this is so.
(1) The Ford dealer does business on a smaller
margin of profit because of the greater number of
cars he sells. His discount or commission is the low
est of any automobile dealer. The difference in your
favor, ranging from 25 to nearly 50, comes right
off the price you pay for the car.
(2) No expensive extra equipment is needed when
you buy a Ford. The car leaves the factory ready for
use. The f.o.b. price includes a Triplex shatter-proof
glass windshield and an extra steel-spoke wheel, in
addition to four Houdaille double-acting shock ab
sorbers and fully enclosed four-wheel brakes. Any
accessories you may wish for your individual taste
are sold considerably below the usual prices.
None of these charges for selling, financing or acces
sories is marlzed up or increased to cover a high
trade-in alloicance on a used car.
Get all the facts, therefore, before you buy and
figure out just what you are getting for your auto
mobile dollars. Co beyond the f.o.b. price and find
out how much more you pay the dealer than
the dealer pays at the factory. Analyze the used-car
allowance. Compare all charges item for item
value for value.
WHEN you do this you will have a new appreciation
of what the Ford Motor Company and Ford dealers
are doing to keep down the cost of Ford cars. You
will also know why it is possible to put so much real
value into the new Ford and still retain the low price.
The money you pay goes for value in the car. It is not
wasted in excessive costs in manufacturing or selling.

New Circular Issued.
Brush dams for ditch control is
the name of the new Extension cir
cular. No. 727, which Cass County

ready for distribution.
The new circular has been written
by Ivan D. Wood, Extension Agent
in agricultural engineering. He de
scribes not to use and when to use
the brush dams. The circular is
free.
"Brush has little if any value in
ditch control when piled in loosely,
Mr. Wood says, "only when properly
arranged and anchored is the full
benefit derived. Complete Instruc
tions for. building single and double
row post dams are given in this cir
cular. The methods of construction

of years by observation of the effec
tiveness of many types in common
