Eight Mile Grove, Neb. Mr. Mac
Murphy: You ask of the people of
Cass county the news from their vari
ous locations. I would, say that all is
lovely at this place, only I feel that
I was the victim of a deception and
imposition, in this, Mac. Early this
frnorning one of the neighbor women
came to my house rather in a hurry,
as I thought, and left word that I
was wanted at Mr. Walter Mutz's
house (my son-in-law), and left. So
I fixed up and "lit" out; on arriving
at the door I heard someone titter; I
thought it rather remarkable and
hesitated, while hesitating the door
was thrown open and behold the
neighbor women rushed out, seized
me, pulled me in, and into the rock
ing chair, next pulled the spectacles
off the face of Grandma McConkey
and placed them on my venerable
nose, I demanding all the while what
it all meant, and they said it was no
matter; it was a girl; my grand
daughter, and its mother was doing
as well as expected. Now, Mac, this
is "too bad," for I am 50 years old
and cannot stand it. So I appeal to
you for help, and till help comes your
servant waits with a strange feeling.

Overland Model 83
Things to Consider in Buying a Car!
SERVICE Every Overland Car sold in this vicinity since 1908
is still in service.
PRICE No car today gives as much real value for the money as
the Overland. You can satisfy yourself on this subject by comparing
specifications with competitive cars.
r
.
UP-KEEP No car was ever built that did not at some time or
other need some repair. Repairs for the Overland can be obtained
the same day as ordered, and at prices far below what other manu
facturers charge. This fact does not occur to the average buyer until
he needs some parts and finds it takes from one to three weeks to get
parts and in many cases at prices two and three times what the Over
land asks. Automobile factories have declined in numbers from
270 in 191 1 to 1 19 in 1915. In other words 151 factories out of 270
have quit making cars in the last four years, and well informed men
in the automobile business predict that the change in the next two
years will be still more startling, which means that it will be still more
difficult and still more delay on parts for cars that are not being man
ufactured at that time.
Alliance Suspends Business For Day.
Alliance. Neb.. July 29. The bus!
tiess men of Alliance closed
places of business at noon
remain closed the balance of
in order to observe good roads
as proclaimed by Governor
The business men and all 'their clerk
eat out to work on the roads
There is only one manufacturing plant in the world that produces
more cars than the Overland Company, which has increased its pro
duction from 400 cars in 1908 to over 100,000 cars per year now.
If the Overland car had not given far better average satisfaction to
the buyer in the past it would not have outstripped all its competitors,
many of which were in the automobile field twice as long.
