Thursday morning tho North Platto
Wirelosa station talked directly with
Cleveland, Ohio nnd with Itono, Ne
vada, Shortly boforo that liowevcr a
storm with lightning had closed down
the whole works for a short thrto. Tho
new building for the station is being
hold up pending tlio appropriation
which Congress will mako available
on July lijt. Nothing Is'hoav known as
to tho amount which can be used for
that purpose.
Yesterday morning s mioono told us
that 'someone elso hail gone by his
place of business and called out that
tho North river bridge was sinking.
Wo thought that would bo quite a
sight, so wo mounted our bicycle ami
went as fast as tho speed cops and
our two-cylinder power would take us.
It was hotter than tho placo which is
tlio reward, for sin and when wo gut
more wo could not And anyono to ask
any questions of so we mado an In
spection ourselves and fdtmd overy
plank In placp and as nearly In line ag
thej; ever aro. If that happens again
wo are going to lose our confidence In
some of our follow men. ;
Last Sunday the Sidney base ball
team 'used Carson's barber shop , as
d dressing room and whon tho boys
went to tho game they left their
citizen clothes In tho shop. When
they returned they found that somo
ono had gone through their clothes
and taken several, watches and somo
money. A hogro. npt connected with
mo snop was at onco suspected and
his absence mado It more certain.
He was caught down about Grand
Island and brought back to North
Platto whoro ho Is now in jail. Ho
will bo iaken into County Court to
day or tomorrow if tho officers get
tno evidence in shape. Most of the
property was recovered and returned
to tho owners.
Tho South river bridge cost $10,000
and did very .well when the river was
dry or nearly so. When tho strain
camo It was not equal to tho emer
gency. It reminds us of the heating
plant which wns installed in the
Franklin School building. It wa'a n
typo of steam heating which was new
to our builders and for somo reason
it did not entirely do tlio work that
was claimed for it Willads Hansen
was firing it, did everything ho knew
to mako it work, but it was n fact
that tho colder tho woathor, the los3
steam was delivered to tho radiators
Ono day someone Interested In the
mattor asked Mr. Hansen how -the
new heating plant was coming on. He
said, "It would bo a flno heating plant
fpr Southern California but it is no
good here."

To all car owners and prospective" car buyors:
' In my ten years In the Automobile business, I have never been able
to offer to my trade any such value as I can today In Dodge Brothers 1 In ?
of Mator Cars. Never has our factory or any other factory at any
time,, before the war or. afterwards, sold a ' comparable for the
price now on Dodge Brothers Cars.
Compare a Dodge Brothers touring, car sold complete in North
Platte today for $1140, with the cheapest car, and you will find, .that
whereas in 191G, this car cost much less than half tlio price of a
Dodge or to be exact just 45 per cent, that tqday the same small
car sells for much moro than half or 53 per cent" of our price. Yet to
day one of the oversize cord tires? on tho Dodge sells for almost as much
as all four tires on tlio small car, an.d mpre than any three of their tires,
N Then compare A Dodge Brothers Roadster at $1085, delivered at
North Platte, with any of the fours or small sixes which today sell from
$130 to $000 higher. Most of them have much smaller motors, shorter
heelbase, smaller tires, many hao limitation leather upholstery and
poor body finish. Consider just tho list of improvements made on. Dodgo
Brothers cars within the past six nxbnths, which I -list below, and de
cide as to' whether you can buy its equal anywhere. .

With the improvements recently mado and tho present reduction of
prices, you can buy a Dodge Brothers car at an actual reduction, of
moro than $510. Such a change as this means war and lsx mado only
at a loss to the producer, and may not last long. It is for your benefit,
. and surely if you are considering tho' purchase of a now motor icar, it
must appeal to you to be the time to buy. Never even before tho war,
was such value available .to our car buyors, and it will pay you to tako
advantage of this situation during this price war. It certainly Is now a
question of the survival of the flttest.and you can be sure tjiat "Dodgo
Brothers will Live and Build Quality." Signed
