Possesses important feature of design which are found
also in those higher priced cars as embodying the very
latest and best engineering practices. These superior
features, which for two years have distinguished the
Oakland Six as a car of unusually advanced design, and
which are now employed in the latest models of many
of the more costly cars, not to be found in their entirety,
in an3r of the other cars in the Oakland price-class. As
a result, the Oakland Sensible Six, in the estimation of
the bu3'ing public, is raised above the plane of its price,
and naturally is compared to and competes with cars of
considerable higher price than its own.

the Auditorium, where the headquar
ters are maintained, on last Tues
day. The boys were very much un
der the weather for a few: hours, but
itre !io.v feeling fine and ready to
with the old kaiser over in Ber
lin. Time has hung rather heavy
on the hands of the hoys, most of
v v.om have been used to active lives
in different trades and professions,
but uith the commencing of the
drilling and training to be soldiers
there will not he a great deal of ex
tra time for them to waste. Each

and the lads retire to dream of fu
ture days on the European battle
field?, until the morning call sum
mons them to arise, clean up the
barracks, make the beds and prepare-
for their breakfast. The ma
chine gun company has been given
th; lies of attention and are fed

The fact that no one from Cass

from this county will see that there
is a good record made for old Cass
on the battle field.
The machine gun company will be
Hilly uniformed by next week and
ready for the orders, "On to Dom

From Saturday's Dally.
It is understood that several gar
ages are paying but little attention
to the new law which requires own
ers and keepers of garages to main
tain a record book in which shall be
entered a description of every car
brought in for repair or storage, to
gether with the name of the owner.
his home, destination and other ne
cessary information, county attor
neys throughout Nebraska have de
cided that these records must be kept
carefully and that every garage shall
keep its record on display for ready
reference. The purpose of the law, of
course, is to prevent thefts as much
as possible, for cars with changed
engine and license numbers can be
traced in this manner quite readily.
The garage owner who says it is too
much trouble to keep the record is
quite likely to get Into serious trou
ble if he neglects his duty in this
regard. Nebraska City Press.

Theodore 15. Farmer. who has

the other day purchased a piece of
property for that purpose, the con

able to pay for the same at a figure
by monthly ptyments, which is no
more than he would have to pay in
rent. The place secured is what is
known as the "Old Peter Uauen
Place," situated on South Seventh
street, purchased from Mrs. Dan
Moore. In the purchase of this place

they pay in rent. Then they have

George R. Sayles, who operates
the Oreapclis and Cullom elevators
for the Duff Grain company, was out
to Cullcm the other day, and having
gotten through with the matters in
hand, thought he would stroll down
to the "East Sand Pit" and see
what was doing. Here he found the
men buty. with G. A. B. Hicks
among the busiest. Mr. Sayles
watched them load sand, and the
manner is by pumping the sand and
water from the pit with huge pumps
into the cars. One would scarcely
think it possible to load a car so
rapidly, as it is not a rare thing that
an SO, 000 capacity car can be filled
in from seven to ten minutes. When
noon came Mr. Hicks insisted that
Mr. Sayles stay for dinner with him.
