Jut why nobody over produced thU

gineers generally are now vainly cas
tigating their souls For the Maxwell
plan has so many advantages that even
tha tyro machinery can readily appre
ciate Its value.
Most Important Is tha smoothnees with
which tha oiled clutch can be engaged.
It la almost Impossible for aven a de
liberately "rough" driver to snap back
the heads of hl passengers by lunging
car forward after a atop. Tho oiled
clutch cannot "grab," but must take hold

Increase is Shown
by Omaha Branch of
Goodyear Tire Co.
Until the August report for 1915 woe
compiled the month of August, 1914, held
the record of being the best month In
the history of the Omaha branch of the
Ooodyear Tire and Rubber company.
"An unuaual condition surrounded the
tire business during August, 1914." says
Joe M. Dine, branch manager. "Owing
to tha fact that heavy rubber ahlpments
were made to Europe at the outbreak of
tha war, It was nearly Impnsnlh'.e to get
rubber In American markets, and as a
wmnirvi ma lira mamei aavanceaj
nearly SO per cent. We were ortunate
In securing a very large quantity of ruh
e and thus enabled to reduce our
price almost as soon as It was advanced.
This gave uj a deolded advantage over
our competitors and made our sales ab
normally large during that period. With
a considerable reduction in price star
ing us In the face this year It seemed
almost Imnoss'ble to equal the financial
mark reached last year, but we did, and
better. This Js a remarkable showing
considering the prevailing weather
condlttona."
A "For Hale" ad will turn second-hand
furniture Into cash.
A permanent hlgnway across Nebraska
is the objective desire of all good roads
cnthuxlasts. Overland touting Is 'In Its
Infancy. There is a great fascination In
traveling by automobile and the chief
advantage lies In the fact that yau can
ko when you please without the usual
worry over timetables and schedules. Ne
braKka has all the advantages In Its
favor; a broad level stretch, no hills,
good town stops, and with splendid na
tural scenery. If Nebraska does not build
permanent highway, Kansas will taks
up the proposition and the result will be
that 90 per cent of future overland tour
In i; will go through the state of Kansas.
The average opinion would be that tha
itm-nt yar of persistent rainy spells
ni'd the reuniting hardships to tourists
will put a damper on overland touring.
Tho opposite view seems to be the aver
age among tourlsta. To the motorist who
loves his motoring the bitter with the
sweet Is naturally expected and thla
year's hardships have not seemingly
dampened tha enthusiasm of tha tourists
who have already made tha trip. Over
land touring Is bound to Increase and
with the Increase of travel will oome a
rivalry between stats roads paralleling
the distance. Thla rivalry will promote
Improvements and tha tourist will gain
in the end.
One of tha prettiest stretohes of road la
the Blue line from Tilden, to Nellgh, Neb.
There la Just enough sand tn tha soil to
give you good running over a practically
level road.
The Meridian road from Columbus
north as far as Humphrey Is kept In good
shape and Is nearly level, but north of
Humphrey It la quits hilly.
The sandpits down around Louisville
offer some good fishing to the motorists
who cannot get away to go to the north
ern lake's. Crapples and bass are biting
good down there and the run la an
easy one. "
"I never' imagined a thing like that
would interest me," said a business man,
after running down to the state fisheries
below Oretna. "Why, X enjoyed tha sights
ftno and It was quite a revelation. Baked,
flh sounds better than ever to me now."
If you haven't been to the fisheries, you
are mlanlng something Interesting. Tha
trip there is via the Omaha-Lincoln-Denver
route to Oretna and then south nine
miles.
Local motorists who have never taken
the trip through tha fruit section around
Council Bluffs are due for a surprise
when they go there. Council Bluffs as a
grape and apple section ranks near the
top and the beautiful and productive vlne-J
yards and orchards are a sight at this 1
time of the year with their load of fruit, j
The club has received assurances from
towns along the Spirit Lake Air Line,
running from Denison north that tha '
highway will be remarked in places where
the mark ts missing.
