SOUTH BEND TTmiE Vail PAGE SIX JYcmc Word engine gives outstanding acceleration speed ami power without sacrificing reliability or ccttnotng THE good performance of the Fcml car, no apparent on every highway, is tine largely to the sound mechanical design of the engine. It has outstanding acceleration, ppeed and power, yet that is only part of its value to you. Greater still is the fact that it hrings you all these features without sacrificing cither reliability or economy. That is the reason the Ford car has given such satisfactory service to mil lions of motorists all over the world and has been chosen by so many large companies that keep accurate cost fig ures. In every detail of construction it has been carefully planned and made for the work it has to do. The design of the compression cham ber is an important factor in the effi ciency of the Ford engine. It is built to allow free passage of gases through the valves and to thoroughly mix the fuel by producing turbulence -within the cylinders during compression. The spark thus flashes quickly through the whole fuel charge, resulting in quieter and more effective engine performance. Other factors are the direct gravity gasoline feed, the specially designed carburetor, the new hol-.-'pot manifold, aluminum pistons, chrome silicon alloy valves of larger diameter, statically and dynamically balanced crankshaft and flywheel, the simplicity of the electrical, cooling, lubrication, and fuel systems and accuracy iu manufacturing.

Davis AGENT Plattsmouth - - Nebraska Louisvilie Has Made Forward Strides ia Year City in Growth in Population, in In dustry and General Appear ance Much Better Hardly seven years ago the city of Louisville was the scene and pic ture of destruction. Following the flood which nearly washed the little city clear out of the county, Louis ville started a campaign of rebuild ing and reconstruction which at this time has made it one of the most beautiful and delightful cities in Cass county and which was visited Thursday by a representative of the Journal, Edgar Wescott. Due to the near complete destruction of their homes and business houses at the time of the flood, which the city ex perienced in 1923, the people of Louisville were forced to practically build their city anew. At this time, due to close co-operation among themselves and with with their neighboring towns Louis ville has built itself up to the point where it i3 now looked upon as one of the most progressive cities in the county. As one walks down the business streets of Louisville there seems to be the Epirit of friendliness and business in the air. People go out of their way to speak to you, and no matter how much of a stranger you may be when you arrive you won't be a stranger long. Business houses of Louisville are well kept, their outside" appearance as well as their inside appearance is well maintained, the stores are well stocked and serve well in the supply ing of the wants of the people of the city. The residential districts of the city are well maintained, several new homes lend their appearance to the already beautiful and well plan ned districts. Newly graveled streets add to the comfort and safety of transportation in the city, a3 well as adding greatly to the beauty of the city. Besides these improvements Louis ville has been ever watchful for op portunities to bring industries into their city, approximately a year and a half ago the Ash Grove Portland Cement and Lime company set up a cement plant just opposite the city. This has been one of the biggest things that has ever happened to the city of Louisville in the way of im provements. Due to the fact that the Ash Grove people have in their em ploy only men who would be desir able to such a community, their pres ence has been helpful in both a busi ness and social way. At the present time there are plans being considered which provide for the construction of a new bridge across the Platte river at Louisville This will be another major improve ment for the city, and the city should derive a great deal of good from the construction of the bridge. It might be wise for the other cities in Cass county to watch Louis ville, to try and catch that spirit of progressive building which they seem to have, and in a measure endeavor to pattern after the constructive atmos phere which appears to be so strong in that community.

A. Kirkpatrick, of Omaha, who has been elected to succeed the late Chief Justice William Howard Taft as pres ident of the National Americanism Congress. Attendance at the banquet is open to Legionnaires, their wives and im mediate families, and the South Om aha and Plattsmouth posts have been extended especial invitations. The cost will be $1 per plate, and Randal! Eiart of Bellevue, who is in charge of arrangements says it will be the biggest chicken dinner ever held in that neck of the woods, which is known for the fine feeds served at the regular Fellowship dinners held there throughout the winter season. Available equipment will enable them to accommodate nearly three hundred diners, he says. Those from Plattsmouth desiring to attend should notify Post Adju tant Elmer Webb not later than Sun day afternoon, so reservation can be made. Mr. Kirkpatrick, who has been thus signally honored, is well known among Legionnaires here. He was a speaker at the district convention here in 1926 and the Memorial day speaker in 192S. He was long a mem ber of Omaha post and speaker on Americanism and Historical Incidents at the various radio programs spon sored by the Legion in Omaha. Due to differences of opinion over activi ties policy, he withdrew his member ship from that post and joined the Bellevue post, which he has served very efficiently as post commander. Transportation will be arranged for any without cars who wish to attend the banquet, but reservation must be made not later than Sunday afternoon. George Henry, son of Henry and Ella Dooley, was born Nov. 6, 1910. He died suddenly, the result of an accident, June 21. 1930, aged 19 years, 6 months and 15 days. He came to Plattsmouth with his parents in Nov. 191S where he has since resided excepting three years spent in Pacific Junction, Iowa. Always an affectionate boy, sharing with his mo ther his hopes, joy, grief andambition was converted when 12 years of age but for 6ome reason soon fell from grace, but often expressed a desire to find Jesus again. But never for getting to pay his tithes and offer ings. He leaves to mourn his going his father and mother, an aged grand mother, three brothers, Carl of Plattsmouth, Clifford of Omaha, Clair at home, one nephew and one niece, besides aunts, uncles and cousins. Card oj Thanks. We wish in this way to express our thanks to all those who came to us and helped in any way in our great sorrow in the death and burial of our dear son and brother, Henry, for the use of their cars and the beautiful flowers, words of comfort and sympathy, every act of kindness, and the beautiful songs. May God richly bless each one and may such a sorrow never come to any of you. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Dooley, Mr. and Mrs. Carl Dooley, Clifford and Clair, Mrs. Earl, Miss Lenore Reed and Relatives. THANK YOU OUR FRIENDS BRING HOME GRANITE BOULDER Mr. and Mrs. Philip H. Kahler have further added to the beauty and attractiveness of their fine home by bringing in from the country and setting up in their yard at the north west corner of the houe a great red granite boulder weighting 2,732 pounds, the gift to Mrs. Kahler of Mr. and Mrs. Tom Tennant, who live two miles east of Louisville on the Plattsmouth road. It took seven men and Mr. Kahler's ingenuity to load the boulder and bring it to town. Near the boulder on the ground will be placed two big toad stools which Mrs. Kahler herself moulded of potter's clay and which were then burned by Mr. Kahler at the Kahler Pottery company's kilns. On top of the boulder will be perched a big stoneware frog. This arrangement will fit perfectly into the landscap ing plan of the premises. Mr. and Mrs. Kahler make a hobby of their home and have created a vertiable fairyland garden of their yard, where they spend many happy closed and screened in their front closed and screnned ia their front porch, so that they have a maximum of comfort and enjoyment. Such homes are a credit to Louisville. Louisville Courier. During the time that Mrs. Briggs was ill and at the hospital both be fore and after, we were in receipt of many acts of kindness from our friends, the spoken word, the cards and letters of sympathy, the flowers and the kindly visits. We appreciate these acts, and the friendship which prompted them more than we are able to express. Thank you again, and may you always have health and friends. Mr. and Mrs. M. S. Briggs. We Edvise yon to get your Fire vrcrks now. Omaha people are driving to nearby towns and buying them in large quantities this year. Avoid dis appointment by buying now.
