J. V. Romigh and ten men arrived
Tuosdny with a fleet of eleven Dodge
cars which were driven through from
Detroit. The trip of about 1250 miles
was made In five days, and generally
speaking tho roads were good. Mr.
Romigh says more Dodge1 cars are
driven out of Detroit by dealers than
are shipped out by rail, and this also
a'pplios to other makes of cars. There
were hundreds of dealors in Detroit
while he was there, all for the purpose
of driving homo cars.' These dealers
were from Texas and Oklahoma on tho
south to Minot, N. D., on the north.
Nearly all eastern dealers drive their
cars out of Detroit, as there is a
partial embargo on shipments by rail.

The proceeds of tho Rod Cross salo
at Gothenburg last Saturday was over
seven thousand dollars. One goose
brought alx hundred and fifty dollars.
Wo of North Platte ought to feel
protty cheap, when we compare our
inHtgnillCRiit $500 s,iie last Saturday
with tho Gothonburg sale. It In about
time North Platte wakens up to the
fact that it is n laggard. Wo have
fnllon down in tho purchase of our
quota of LIborty botids and war sav
ings stamps, we failed to do what wo
should In Red Cross and Y. M. C. A.
subscriptions, nnd it is nip and tuck
to get funds to maintain the Red Cross
work at Its present output. Tho fact
is, wo aro placing our dollars ahead
of patriotism; nlno-tonths of us aro
absolutely unwilling mko tho least
saerlllco In order that our soldier boys
may bo given tho pi otectlon nnd sup
port they aro ontitloa to and dosorvo;
wo show a lack of zeal in our patrio
tism that reflects discreditably upon
our citizenship; nnd unless we do
bettor tho whole of Nebraska will
point tho linger of acorn at us. For
tho good of our boys in trenches and
camps and for the succosh of tho
government under which wo live, let
us show llfo nnd notion in nil those
war measures which aro so essential
to tho suacoas of the war. There Is no
neutral ground for .ny North Plntto
