Potltlons wero circulated Tuosdnj placing In nomination Mrs. HarrjQ Cramer and Mrs. Ray Snyder as can didates for members of tho board "of,; education nnd the petitions were filed that ovonlng. Personally Tho Tribune editor has always favored women representa tives on the school board, because tho avorago woman shows greater Interest In school matters thnn does tho av erage man and they aro ln4 closer touch with the children, and as a gen oral proposition tho intellect and busi ness ability of the man doos not ov ershadow that of tho woman. Wo hnve had women on tho bonrd in years past and they gave very sat isfactory service Holding to this opinion The Tribune will support Mos- damos Cramor and Snyder. Mrs. Cramor Is ono of the city's most widely known women, nnd this acquaintance is duo to tho active part she has taken In community work as a musician, as a charity worker, as a member of the 20th Century club nnd In efforts made for civic Improvement. She is ono of our brightest and boat wonion. Mrs. Snyder is tho wife of a Union (Pacific conductor nnd a resident of the Fourth ward, which section of city In all fairness Is entitled to rep resentation on tho board. Mrs. Sny dor wnB selected as a candidate for the reason that she has taken as much. If not more, Interest In tho Fourth ward school than any other person In that ward, and this lntrest, coupled with a capability that cannot bo questioned, assures her giving sat isfactory service on tho board.

Good ears are short, the demand is strong, especially for the well known and established lines, and by the middle of the spring it will be impossible to get the car of your choice without unreasonable delay. The factory will be better able to take care of their dealers and the dealer better able to care of your order now thnn later. There is today a' real shortage of good ears. Get yours ordered today. f Trices on all the standard makes have been stabilized and in most ease guaranteed. There is no chance for a radical change for probably a year at least, not as long as labor, materials and food stuffs stay at or near the present prices. And it is well to re member that there has been no such advance in automobile prices as there has been in any other manufactured product. Trices of foodstuffs, implements and general machin ery can lake a drop of 50 per cent before they have racked the same level as the car prices of today. Buy now, as you will not buy cheaper for a long time. And when you buy your car, get it from an established dealer, in your home town, from whom ydu can expect to obtain service and repair parts when needed. Those ears which are good enough for you to buy, are also good enough to convince some lo cal dealer of their merit, and if they have not. this merit and popularity, better leave them alone. Don't be an owner of an orphan car in your home town. Order that car today from your local dealer. Signed:- mtifflF " ' ' . -y - JJUSKIItK & S OltLG- Overland. . ' J. S.
