CHEEK BELIEVES IN THE LITTLE FORD WrII Kii.mii South fhnnhn InMiraitre Agcnt Is 1Tiere When ll 'omea to Making it hedules Lloyd Evans, special agent for the Hartford l-Tre 1 ntt r n n'- f'nmpnay, live-stock department, with head quartern In the Exchange building In South Omaha. In in Alliance today calling on ranchmen and stock own ert, explaining to them the advantage of Insuring their Hvp stock in the Hartford. Mr. Evana attended the annual convention of the Nebraska .Stock growers Association In Valentine last week. He has been covering north ern and western N'hrnska tiy Ford auto. However, he was rather tumped when "BUT' (W. H I rheek, manager for the South Omaha branch of the company, nave hltn an outline of his trip hs planned hy Mr. Cheek. "Bill" la evidently uaed to making short stops and traveling on fast tra!n, for the plan for Mr. Ev ans' trip read aomething like thin: "Take Ford, leaving South Omaha noon June lf.th. Drive through and make stopa at Columbus, Genoa. Fullerton. Cunning. Scotia, Ord, Uur well. Ainaworth and into Valentine by June 18th. Then run down to Wheatland. Wyo.. on the, 2lBt. Then back to Valentine and start weat, atopping at all intermediate polnta between there and Alliance, atopping at Alliance for the Stockmen's re union on June 27tb, 2Kth and 29th. Then down to Sidney, making towns along the Union Pacific to Grand In land nnd then through Aurora, Hampton. York. Seward and other polnta." The Herald editor. In connection with Mr. Evans, endeavored to fig ur out how a man and a Ford could make thla trip in the time indicated. We figured that he would haveto run twenty-four houra per day, eat ing meals while driving, and sleep ing the reat of the time. It took Mr. Evans only ten houra to drive the 4ast thirty inllaa through the mud Jtp Valentine, ualng ten gallons of gasoline for the thirty miles and then tinistu tii- up on keroaene when the gasoline supply ran out. If he keeps on striking mud ana Hand he will probably laud in South Omaha thin fall in time for Ak-Sar-Ilen. But at any rate, he's doing the business and writing a bunch of live stock Insurance policies every day. We hope our genial friend "Bill" Cheek will agree with un that Evans is "there with the goods" even -though he couldn't follow the schedule.
