word3 "Press On," which he has made

"Press On."

At most places in the country the

Trunkenbolz station has been 13 and
17 cents. Union, however, is going
them a little stronger, or you might
call it weaker, for the regular gas,
which has been selling for 16 is list
ed in Union at the Trunkenbolz sta
tion at 12 cents, while the lower
grades are Quoted at 11 cents all
over. Mr. Claude Lane says that bus
iness is sure good since the lowering
of the price, which shows that the

the dollar will go the farthest.

William Bell, former Plattsmouth
man, who has been making- his home
on the west coast, has perfected a
model of the DeWitt Clinton loco
motive of 1831 and which has at
tracted a great deal of attention at
San Diego.
The following from the San Diego
Sun tells of the model and the inter
est that it has created:
"Your hobby may be collecting
menu cards or snatching up bits of
wreckage at airplane crackups, but
Bill Bell's is building models.
"His latest product is the model
of a primitive train, shown in ac
companying photographs. He hopes
it will bring him $1,000.
"From smokestack to the tail end
of car No. 3, it is an exact duplicate
in miniature of DeWitt Clinton's
norting Terror of the Rails of 1831.
"That was back in the days when
15 miles per hour was a crazy, break
neck speed and traveling 100 miles
was a3 serious a proposition as go-1
ing away to college.
'If it rained while you Journeyed,
it was just too bad for your extra
starched collars and cuffs, for bag
gage was stowed behind little fences
atop the cars. Running out of fuel
presented no problem, all the engi
neer had to do was stave off the In
dians with his blunderbuss while the
fireman took to the tall timber and
chopped down a cord or two for the
firebox.
" "It took 800 hours to build the
model,' said Bill Bell today. 'I start
ed last March and worked evenings,
Saturdays and Sundays. There are
more than 500 separte pieces in the
locomotive and 1600 in the whole
train.
" 'I got the idea when I read In
Ponular Mechanics magazine about
a contest for models of the DeWitt
Clinton train. I didn't expect to en
ter the contest when I started build
ing, but toward the last, when t
looked like I had a chance to get it
done in time, I sat up many a night
getting it completed before the con
test closed
"Mr. Eell ia hoping to win either
the $1,000 first prize, the $500 sec
ond prize or the $250 -third prize
plus a free round trip to New York.
"Thirty-eight years old, he is an
employe of the aGs Co., and lives at
4451 Fortieth St."
