Vised Car Is Good Buv at This Time. Says Omaha Man Rebuilt Automobile Said to , Be as Serviceable These Days as New Models. By ,r. H. HANSEN, President J. H. Hansen Cadillac to. Some used cars, say the buyers, are not worthy of a full gasoline tank. This is literally true. The average, modern automobile man, however. Is one who is known as an honest merchant, Incorporating in his business the same tactics and fine ethics found in any reliable es tablishment of today, and sells a good many used cars that are valuable cars. This modern automobile mer chant rebuilds or renews the used ear he trades in along such lines as to make the used ear as serviceable as though it were new, and because it is not new', it can be purchased as a great saving. Care Renews Service. Take any standard make of car which after having been run a year or two has standard known value, rebuild Its mechanical parts, repaint its hotly, retire Its wheels, and it will give you just as much service and pleasure as a new car with the excep tion of not having the satisfaction of purchasing a new car. It is now an es tablished fact some new cars on the i l.'irket today are not as good, in any sense of the word, as several makes of used cars when they are rebuilt. Some concerns will sell a used car at as high a price as other concerns are getting for new cars, which in their < lass are good cars for the money, but in the automobile business, like in nny other business, you get what you pay for and the used car sometimes is a tetter buy. Sure of Square Ileal. It is a safe bet that if you buy a used ear from a reliable concern, who advertises in the newspapers the true condition of the car. a concern which through this advertising has built a great name by its reliable and square dealings, you are buying an article which will give you entire satisfac tion. just like any other good mer • handise. Should there be in your opinion something thn' could be bet ter about the cur this reliable concern is willing and ready at all times to make this used car just as satisfac tory to you as though you had pur chased a new car considering, of course, the amount of money spent for the car. Worth the Price.* Some of fhe best auto dealers are getting just as scrupulous about the t ruth in advertising as other mer chants are and if you follow the ad vertising and investigate the condi tion of the car and find it is as ad vertised you will soon know where it ,s safe for you to spend your money. Several concerns are now selling twice as many used cars as they are new cars and are bttilding a great reputation by selling the best cars. A buyer does, not interest himself in cars ihjtt havs hot been rebuilt and rebuilt lpv-a concern with ftscilities established fot this purpose. Ton always find i h»t a concern of this kind is one handling standard makes of cars and rendering .good service. Their used i ars are always worth the price asked. Because they are good cars truthfully advertised. Reduction Expected in Potato Acreage Kearney, Neb,, Feb. 11,—(Special.)— The potato acreage in the Platte ■ alley promises to he reduced this season, in the opinion of growers. Estimates as to the possible reduction 'hat may be anticipated vary, some placing it at posshliy 23 per cent, oth ers believing that it may be as great as 50 per cent. There are a few confi dent that the potato grower can stage a comeback and who feel that the acreage of last year will not suffice and must be increased. Henry Holt, an extensive grower, hopes to stimulate increasing acreage sentiment. He has about 10,000 bushels of early Ohio dry-land seed and an nounces that he will furnish it to oili er growers, under contract to repay him in potatoes in the fall, on the basis of a bushel and a half for every bushel of seed furnished. While the financing of seeding is a factor in estimating possible acreage of thexoming season, it is also a fact i hat much of the acreage has been planted to spuds for three or even four years and c-ropt rotation is ad c isahle or the soil will he spent. Perfection of the marketing bureau, through which practically the entire crop In the Kearney district will he handled this fall, likewise is an en couraging factor.

Washington, Feb. 11.— UP) — Men who shared with Pershing the greut adventure in France are passing off the stage as America's defenders. Of ficial charts show that their place al ready is being taken by the younger brothers of the A. K. F. Tomorrow it will be their sons who stand ready to fight for Hie flag. The chart shows that of more than 3,000,000 men discharged from the wartime army up to January 1, 1020, there will be available in 1925 for class 1 service—and that means battle service, face to face with the foe— few more than 600,000 veterans. By 1930, a decade after their discharge in the prime of their fighting power, only 423,000 will again be ready to shoulder a musket. Millions trooped to the colors in the great war, but even the 18-year-old youngsters among them will be men weighted with cares and responsibili ties by 1943. They will have mar ried. or will have acquired other de pendents; they will be broken with years; many will have died; some will be working at tasks as essential as soldering, and none will be left to man the trenches. The bright day of their youth and fighting power will be but an honored heritage of their sons. Attain Average Status, Of the 3,128,670 officers and men examined for discharge to December 1, 1919," says the colorless record of the War department. ''2.931.560 were discharged without disability. It is assumed by 1925, or approximately five years after discharge, they will have attained the status, (having ac qulred dependents, engaged In essen tial occupations, incurred disabilities, etc.) of average citizens and would be available ('held for service’) in the same proportions as obtained with those registered under the last draft." Application of the census bureau death rate, coupled with the knowl edge gained of average conditions sur rounding the age groups Involved by the calling up for examination under the draft act, of millions of citizens, gives a clear vision of what time is doing to the great body of trained soldiers poured back into the country after the armistice. That is the basis of the War depci: ment calculations as to probable \ emptions, as the basis. *too, to the ' pressure for filling up the organized [ reserves with new blood each year into an unfailing reservoir of fighting strength, at least patialiy ready to answer the call tosarms. Vanish From War Viewpoint. By age groups, the veterans above ! 36 years in 1918 will have ceased to | exist from a military viewpoint in 1925 and of more than 185,000 in the 36th year, some 20,000 might still l>e ready for a call. By 1930 all those above 33 years in 1918 will be gone and by 1935 all who were above 28 \ears in 1918 have vanished from the charts. By 1940, the yongsters who were >23 years old when 1918 brought them to the colors will show a bare 22.000 still ready for active service and by 1945, the 18 year-old youths of these days of war could muster probablv 5,310 veterans of St. Mlhlel and th" Argonne to follow the ting aguin. Fireworks Fly at Conference of League Committee Warm Debate Follows Intro duction of Proposal of Lord Robert Cecil for Treaty of Guarantees. Geneva. Feb. 11.—(A*)—Lord Robert Cecil’s project for a treaty of mutual guarantees providing for an interna tional military force to be used against any state assuming the role of an aggressor, was referred by the temporary committee on dis armament of the league of nations to a subcommittee for further considera tion. It was provided that, meanwhile, the technical opinion of the perma nent military commission of the league would be sought. The session was probably the most turbulent in the history of the league of nations committees. M. Viiviani gf France apd Signor Schanzer of .Italy .Ueclaxod the time was not ripe for Lord Robert's proj ect. To their suggestion that it be referred to the military committee for further study, the British statesman retorted that this meant the burial of his project, which was intended to pave the way for a reduction In arma ments. Compromise Adopted. M. Vivian! held that the treaty stood no possible chance of success unless supported by the various gov ernments and that it therefore should he referred to the military committee, the members of which represented the governments. * After a violent debate. Lord Rob ert's compromise suggestion that the technicians be asked for an opinion hut that the project come before the disarmament committee in June, was adopted. The project as presented to the com mittee follows the outline given in previous dispatches, hut Lord Robert decided to omit any concrete plan for reduction of armament. He ex plained to the correspondent that general acceptance of the guarantee treaty would inevitably be followed by a general reduction of those arma ments which would become unneces sary. The treaty provides that the coun cil of the league, by a three-fourths majority vote, rnay decide whether any state is menaced and negotiate a special supplemental treaty affording adequate protection to the menaced sta^e in the form of a military con vention. Security Assured. The signatories will agree to accept general command by any state to which the council might entrust the organization of protective measures. Kach signatory would agree to hold Part of its naval and air forces at the disposition of the state having gen eral command and furnish further military help if requested by the council. Any members of the league and in addition, the United Htates, Germany and Russia, could adhere to the treaty hy notifying the league or the signatories. Lord Robert said that, "to secure eventual reduction of aimaments you must give the disarming countries some form of compensating security." Reduction rit military forces in consequence of the security afforded by the proposed treaty is dealt with in an annex. Penalties similar to the blockade and severance of relations outlined In article IB (,f the league of nations covenant are provided for In the rase of any state exceeding dho armament limit fixed by the annex.

Berlin, Feb. 11.—Great excitement has been caused in Germany’s finan cial circles over tremendous financial manipulations Involving blilions of marks, affecting the nation's financial and economic standing ami Involving American foreign exchange specula tions. It was confirmed that the German Iteichsbank is selling large (jaunt I ties of foreign money to stabilize or bolster up the paper mark. About $1,170,000 were sold and had the effect of bringing the dollar to 30,000 marks, which is only a slight change from Friday. It is reported that the Relchsbank will unload all its 60.000. 000 gold marks (about ($15,000, 000) word] of foreign exchanges with in a few days, this money having been prepared for the payment of reparations Which the French Inva sion, the Germans say, has invali dated. In financial circles this latest at tempt of the government through the Relchsbank to stabilize the cur rency is motivated as follows: Germany’s paper money circulation is about 2.000,000,000,000 marks, while the government always has about 1, 1.000. 000.000 gold marks at present are word] 10,000,000,000.000 paper or five times the paper floating upon it. With, no reparations necessary nor any foreign exchange except a small amount to meet Belgian bills, an opportunity has presented itself to Germany to per form the world astounding stunt of buying back its paper money for al ‘ moat a song and at the same time stabilize Its money. This stabiliza tion, it is hoped, will result In Ger many having a chance within the coming months to buy Chicago grain and Britisli coal and other raw ma terials which must be purchased from foreign countries with foreign ex change, which will be purchased ndt at 50,000 marks to a dollar, but say 25,000 or 30,000 marks to a dollar. So far the government's transac tions are regarded optimistically In financial circles, which also argue1 that they are carrying on war with the French franc and at the same time stabilizing the mark.
