The Way we will Celebrate.
The committee having in charge the
Fourth of July celebration announce
that everything is in readiness for the
big event. They believe that the pro
gram as arranged will prove one of the
most satisfactory and interesting over
produced in North Platte by reason of
Its variedness and the rapidity with
which one event will follow another.
The day will open with the usual sun
riso salute from the big cannon located
west of town. Captain Ruddy will be
in charge of the firing squad and he
has several hundred pounds of powder
to burn.
The program proper will begin at nine
o'clock when the big parade will start.
Headed by the band, there will be in
line the North Platto and Gothenburg
fire departments, the automobile and
motorcycle clubs, society and business
floats, including the goddess of liberty
float which is being prepared in charge
of Dr- Marie Ames.
This parade will last an hour and
will be followed by the four contests
between the Gothenburg and North
Platte fire departments. These con
tests will be "hot numbers," for the
Gotljenburgers have been doing practice
work for two weeks, have a lot of
good men in the teams and are coming
here to "show us" how to do things.
Following these contests Judge Grimes
will read the Declaration ot Indepen
dence and then for dinner.
The afternoon program will begin
with the firing of the Japanese daylight
fireworks. This collection cost $150.00,
and were received direct from a Jap
anese importer in San Francisco.
The.motorcycle races will begin at
two o'clock, and will include two events,
one for single and one for twin. The
entries for the single race will close
today, as there are as many entries as
can be accommodated.
From three to four there will be foot
and otherraces, and at the latter hour
the game of ball between Ogalalla and
North Platte will be called. The Ogal
alia team is particularlyistrontr this sea
son, and will be accompanied here by ,a
couple hundred "rooters."
The horse race will be called at 5:30,
and ufter supper the Indian pony race
and the Indian surp rise will be put on
When the shades of nicht fall the ex
hibition of fireworks will be given, and
this will close what is believed will
prove one of the best celebrations ever
held in North Platte.
NOTES.
All automobile owners who exnect to
enter the parade are asked to notify J.
ii. McDonald.
The court houes will be thrown open
as a rest room for out-of-town people.
The committee has ordered a carload
of seats, which will be distributed on
the school house and courthouse lawns,
thus providing a resting place for the
weary. These seats will be used later
at the Chautauqua.
A big delegation of Gothenburg peo
ple will accompany their firo depart
ment. They are coming with their
pockets full of money to place on the
races.
The fireworks arrived several days
ago and include Japanese night booms
which are fired from a mortar.
Special prizes are offered for the beat
uniformed fire company, the best comic
attraction and the best drill by a lodge
team.
Trains Consolidated.
The consolidation of trains on the
U nion Pacific, as outlined in Friday's
issue, occurred Sunday, and as a result
there was a general setting-back of
passenger engineers and conductors.
In this consolidation six trains were
taken off the Omaha-North Platto dis
trict and several discontinued on the
North Platte-Cheyenne district. This
action of the Union Pacific while not
cheerful to North Platte, was warranted.

Winners Buy Studebalter Cars.
Taking the lead is what the Stude
baker cars are doing. Four of the
champion race drivers buy Studebaker
cars. Joe Dawson, winner of the ?20,
000 cash prize nt Indianopolls .Intel -national
Sweepstake races, also Howard
Wilcox, hi3 team mate, and Don Herr,
relief driver for Dawson, each bought
Studebaker E. M. F. 30 while Hnrrv
Endicott, winner of nnbthcr Wg chunk
of money bought a Studebaker Flanders
20 touring car.
Other well known race drivers, who
are numbered among the Studebaker
owners are Johnny Aitken and Leu
Zengel. These men are not only master
race drivers, but they are the most
expert judges of motor cars. Thoy have
studied every make of car from rear
axle to radiator. They know the weak
and strong parts of every car that is
worth knowine about. Thev have snent
years in factories studying automobile
construction and testing every new
device and method known tomotordom.
It is a part of the daily business of
these men to know what is good and
what is bad in a motor car. Their word
is final decision. The iudjrment of such
men on motor cars cannot be questioned.
The ordinary automobile DOES NOT
APPEAL TO SUCH MEN. If there is
any one thing race drivers are critical
about, it is the sort of car they choose
for their PERSONAL USE. That is why
these race drivers choo&e Studebaker
cars. They looked the field over and
when it came to Studebaker cars, the
verdict was unanimous. These drivers
have seen many hicher nriced car eo
down to defeat at the hands of Stude
baker E. M. F. 30 and Studebaker
Flanders 20 cars in race and hill climb
events. They are built of the very best
material money can buy. The only
cheap thing aboutthe Studebaker car
is the PRICE. They are made by the
moat skilled workmen in the automobile
industry. They are factory made nnd
not assembled. They are made with
a steel body not wood. This is why
Studebakore can give the bestguarantee
that is possible to give with any car.
Studebaker cars have more than sixty
years of business integrity behind them.
The Studebakers stand behind every
car bearing that name.
