Hendy-Ogier Auto Co. Phone 34 At a meeting of tho Firo Depart ment' last Monday evening the foH lowing roport wns adopted and order ed submitted to tho Chamber of Com morco and tho City Council in ro sponso to a request from these sourcos tlat such a roport bo made by tho llro boys. North Platte, Nebr., " July 20th 1920. To tho Hon. Mayor & CUy Council, North Platte, Nebr. Gentlemen: Tho members of the Firo Dept., Commltteo in accordanco with your request for suggestions for improving said department and for means to In duce more men to join said depart ment herowlth submit tho following suggestions, and recommendations. Wo recommend.first thnt an addition two stories high bo constructed across the south end of tho present Firo Sta tion, wide enough to make three (3) bedrooms above and leave space enough bolow for 0110 or more stalls for tho tiro equipment. This would also enlargo tho basemont to suffloien sizo to storo a full winter's supply of coal. Tho extra stall could bo used olther by tho Water Dept. for tholr truck when they get one or for nil extra firo truck when ono Is deemed necessary by the City Council. -The three bedrooms would enable moro men to sleep at tho station at night insuring at least 3 to 5 men would bo ready to respond to any alarm and tho bodioom being fur nished free would attract mon to join tho Firo Dopt. for tho flnanclnl ad-j vantage If nothing else and the as sociation of those men socially nlfht after night together with their friends would tend to build up a fooling of unity of Interest and produce an In terest in tho Fire Department. Man is a social animal and tends to seek tho society of his fellows. Men join the Elks and other clubs in order to have somo plnco to congregate to gether and swap stories or enjoy somo gamo or amugemont together and tho samo things Which attract men to such clubs will also tend to attract them to tho Firo Dept., so we offer as our second suggestion tho fitting" up in the large hall upstairs of a pool and billiard table and small gymnasium,,vfhere of an ovening the firemen and thejr friends can enjoy a friendly boxing match, a game of pool or billiards .or feats of strength or o.thor athletic stunts. "With suc'i things to be enjoyed free of chargo by members of tho Fire Department tho young fellows would bo found joining tho Firo Dept., and playlnn pool or enjoying other athletic di versions, at tho Fire Station instead of at" tho pool halls and would thus bo an Incentive for a young man to join such ah organization. Our third suggestion would bo 'full uniforms furnished for all firemen In good standing. As tho department stands at present there is not a uni fomed man in it and when tho boys appear on'parado on tho 4th of July or go to tho cemetery on their mem orial day thoro is nothing to dis tinguish them from tho ordinary cltzen. Whenever you put a man in somo distinctive dross or uniform you set him apart from tho ordinary man and mark him as a momber of somo special organization. Tho man in a .Imso ball uniform feels ho is ono of tho team and that ho is expected to do his best to have his team win, so with tho soldier and so also with tho fireman. When a young follow puts on a fireman's uniform ho uncon sciously feels ho is "part of tho Fire Department and gives his loyalty to it. Our fourth' suggestion has to ilo with tho equipment of tho building. At tho timo tho building wns con structed a hoso drying rack was con structed in tho South-West cornor of tho South stall but it was novor finish ed so that hoso has never been drlod tlieroln but has to bo strotchod out on tho sidewalk In front to dry. Thoro should bo a proper hook and block and tacklo constructed in tho top of this- hoso drying rack to onablo tho hoso to bo dravn un in It. sugsost that this bo dono at your earliest convenience. Wo that If tho abqvo suggostlon and rec ommendations bo carried out thoro Heed bo no foar but that North Platto will havo as sufficiently largo Firo Department for any emergency which may arise and on0 with tho best of moralo and loyalty, ready to rospond day or night' to protect tho property Of our citizens from tho ravages of fire. Modern Morals. Lndy Duff Gordon said nt n ten nt the Rltz: "Thoro aro young women who would rather bo ultra-fnshlonablo than any thing else. In their oyes nothing mat ters but thnt. "Two young women woro lunching when n third young womnn pnsscd in tho company of nn elderly mnrrlcd pair. '"Tliero goes Maud,' murmured the first young womnn. 'They say that sho and old Mr. Goldle spent tho week end at Atlantic City together.' "'Ohl' snfd tho second young wom an in shocked tones. fOh. what a libel on poor Maud 1 You know you couldn't drag her with wild horses to such n Vulgnr, common resort ns Atlantic City.' " Commercial Airlines. The regular commercial nlr line has already como to stay. At present the longest passenger air service running, or rather Hying, on regular air serv ice Is between London nnd Paris. Tho dlstnnco of 250 miles Is llown In about three hours, often lens. The faro Is nt tho rate of n shilling a mile, or $07 for the trip. Even today these air passengers' enjoy nil the luxuries of tunilnrti ffnvnl. NoilHv n tifOl'O of 1WS- sengdrs arg carried In. n comfortable cabin, seatet In upholstered chairs. The cabin Is lighted with electric candles nnd decorated with glided mir rors. Several transatlantic nlr lines nre planned. It Is calculated that they enn be run nt n profit' by charging $500 for nn nlr passage. Boys' Life Base Ball!

P. Waterloo Boy Tractor is just the kind of machine that we like to put into the hands of our customers. There is nothing experimental about it. Its dependability has been fully proved in years of service on the farm. Every time we sell one, we feel the assurance that the ownerjs going to get fully satisfactory service from it." And that means a great deal to the future of our business. Right along with its dependability for long-continued good work, there is another big feature that you will appreciate every day you use the Waterloo Boy. It burns kerosene completely. Its pat ented kerosene manifold one that you can get on no other tractor converts all of the lpw priced fuel into a pure gas, enabling the motor to get full power from every drop. That saves motor trouble no kerosene gets into the lubricating oil. There is no car bonizing of cylinders or fouling of spark plugs. ' And it saves many dollars in fuel cost every year of it3 operation. You are sure to like all of the Waterloo Boy's other features. It is simply made; easy to keep in good running order. The working parts, fully protected from dust, are placed where you can easily get at them, whenever necessary, through inspection plates and de tachable casings. The motor, perfectly bal anced and mounted on a solid foundation, runs with only slight vibration no racking of mech anism. Gears arc steel-cut and case-hardened practically everlasting. It is equipped with Hyatt Roller Bearings, famous throughout the world for conserving full power. All bearing points and gears are kept constantly in a bath of oil by a perfect system of lubrication.
