I V I * A BRIEF HISTORY OF A GREAT ACHIEVEMENT TWO years ago Dodge Brothers embarked upon a pro gram designed to place it and its Dealer Organization in a position on January 1, 1928, second to none in the industry. The astonishing results of this great achievement are now known to the world. It is doubtful if industrial annals c*p cite, over a similar period, an achievement so outstanding. A smart, swift, low-priced and immensely popular qual ity Four has replaced its famous predecessor. The Senior Six, outstanding in performance, quality and luxurious appointment, has been created. Graham Brothers Trucks and Motor Coaches (formerly exclusively Fours) have been supplemented by sixes. Fifty new types have been added. The capacities arc broadened to range from one-half ton to two-tifh, all resulting in the most complete and capable line of work cars known, and with prices ranging from $670 to $4290. Then Thursday came The Victory—a Six for $1049 and up—th* most spectacular engineering achievement of the decade. These accomplishments, one following the other in steady progression, nave now provided Dodge Brothers Dealers throughout the world with the most diversified and com* prehensive line of passenger and commercial vehicles ever manufactured and soliT by a single organization. For every need and purse there is now a Dodge Brothers vehicle built dependably •"** in full recognition of the , progressive ideals of today and tomorrow. 1 H I VICTORY SIX (oupe i I | I I < 11045 Sedan i i i | t I 1095 Hronghaen* lilt 1095 AMRRICAR RARTRIT VOUR • oupe t i i i i « |R55 • Sedan i I i | I » >75 l)e Lnac Sedan. i i 950 ( ibneki Convertible 9*5 THE SENIOR SIX Viltn < iftiKri upMiirii i $ 1491 4 tiupv lor Fuui a • • t 970 Srdtn . a a . . 1999 Cabnolfi Coonniblr 1999 ORAHAM BROTHERS TRl'CKS AND MOTOR COACMBR A dMttii o4 Mi lor mi* *ow**« • hi* ktnal uI lmi'n*li. <n*« l**4i ^ *»1 It* J l*»l*-~(*aaa4* 14a l*t». f *• *4*ac Iraa • , 0i» 4199 All frill* /. *.

AND NEIGHBORS DO SAMARITAN ACT Twenty-nine of the members of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows of this city and neighbors of Mrs. Hazel Wolf, met at her home three miles east of 0”Neill last Monday morning, and husked about sixty-five acres of corn for her. A number of ladies from O’Neill and a number of neigh bor ladies assisted with the dinner. Her husband, Harley Wolf, passed away last November, following a short illness, leaving his wife and three children. In order that Mrs. Wolf could be in a position to continue that opera tion of the farm, the residence tion of the farm, the residence was some distance south and are now ad joining the building of her parents, Mr. und Mrs. W'm. Mathers. This extra work made it impossible for Mrs. Wolf to get the corn out. The effort of the neighbors and Odd Fellows were greatly appreciated by Mrs. Wolf and she has asked The Frontier to express her appreciation through its columns. She says that she does not know and does not find words strong enough to express her feelings at this time. TOM SULLIVAN WRECKED LAST FRIDAY EVENING Tom Sullivan received a bjroken nose and a number of severe bruises when his car went to the ditch with him a short distance south of the corner one and one-half miles east of O’Neill. Tom started for the gravel camp about eleven o’clock Friday night; shortly after he started the tire on the left front wheel went down and was removed from the wheel; in order to protect the rim Tom says that he drove on the left ridge of the grade in making the turn and had gone but a short distance when the rim caught in the lose gravel and strated to pull his car from the road; he says that he remembers trying to turn the car back into the road; the car rolled over, mashing the top down into the seat. Tom was unconscious for a time, later he was able to crawl out of the wreckage; he walked to the Shaugh nesy home and was later brought to the office of Dr. J. P. Gilligan where his injuries were cared for. J Tom went to Omuha the first of the week where he entered a hospital for the purpose of having his nose cared for. BRICK BATS. We used to read the Daily Blast, just for the news it had; the policies it held too fast, the deeds of people bad. We read the articles, red hot, tho editor would spout, who scored some politicians’ plot to set the world to route. The education thus receiv ed was all the paper had; the thoughts the editor conceived were taken, good or bad. The only ads we ever saw claimed patent medicine was good for colds or thorax ray and dryness of the skin. But take our Daily Blast today and scan its every page; it has improved in every way in this our present age. Ye editor will now ad mit his foes are decent guys; while advertisers make a hit by putting peo ple wise about the things they have to sell, that makes our lives worth while. They educate their readers well, they keep the world in style. The fiery speech and patent dope are of a bygone age; today the Blast breathes cheer and hope, with knowl edge us a gauge.—Brick Smith. CRITICISM. It's easy enough to pick out flaws In the worth that others have done. To point out errors that others have mude. When your own task you haven’t begun; It’s easy enough to fuss and find fault When others are doing their best, To sner at the little they have achieved, When you have done nothing but rest. It's easy enough to cavil and carp, To criticize, scoff and deride, For few of us ever have done perfect work. No matter how hard we have tried; It is easy enough not to speak of the best, And to dwell all the time on the worst. And perhups it is proper sometimes to find fault, But be sure that you’ve done some thing first. —Lookout. — , FACTS ABOUT NEBRASKA. Historians of the Mormon church at Salt Lake City are planning to plat and mark the Mormon trail that was made through Nebraska by Brig ham Young and a party of 140 people in 1847. Humboldt, Richardson county, was platted in 1807 by E. I*. Tinker and was named by his son who was at home on furlow from Humboldt. Ten nessee, when* he was stationed with an Iowa regiment. The first grain elevator in Box Butte county was built three years ago. More than two million bushels of winter wheat have been shipped out of Alliance this year. Increased acreage would point to a production of three million bushels in the county next year. The Santee Indians were removed by the United State* government from j Minnesota for having participated in la massacre of white settler* in IMf, They came to Nebraska in ISM ami the village of Santee, in Knox county, ' once numbered about I ..TOO popula tion.

FORTIETH ANNIVERSARY k OF THE BLIZZARD OF* 1888 Today, January 12th, is the fortieth anniversary of the big blizzard of 1888. There are a great many people living in Holt county who were here during that terrible storm who can j paint a vivid picture of the suffering that was crowded -into those few hours that the blizzard raged over the ! vast open country. There were but few fences that would serve to guide ■ wayfarers to safety. Old timers tell us that about thirty five people and 10,000 cattle perished in that blizzard. The files of The Frontier, recount ing the story of the storm have been published at various times during the j past forty years and will again be! published if our readers wish it. REV.
