THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1921 PAGE EIGHT PLATTSJMOTJTH EVENING JOURNAL 1 nr , ill Harvester Compaiiy Brands tory raise DURING the past month, reports have come to us that at farmers meetings charges have been made, sometimes directly and sometimes indirectly, that this Company hasadopted a policy of refusing to supply repair parts for old machines in order to compel the purchase of new ones. This statement is absolutely false. Such a policy has never been considered by this Company nor suggested to it. Ordinarily we ignore such reports, because we have learned that any large company, no matter how fair and high principled, is subject at all times to unjust criticism. The facts are this Company has always recognized the importance of repair service and has used every effort to make IHC service the best. We believe we can truthfully say that the repair service furnished wherever this Company's goods are sold is equal if not superior to that furnished on any manufactured line. We call attention to the fact that machinery "Fix-up Weeks," instead of being something new and originated by the farmers in 1921, as some seem to think, were really an outgrowth of the movement started by manufacturers and dealers associations in connection with the Council of National Defense as a war con servation measure. Perhaps no other agency has done so much to promote National Repair eks" as this Company. The farmer needs machines which will be efficient and economical. If his old machines can be repaired so as to render efficient and economical service, he would be foolish to purchase new ones. Whether the farmer utilizes and repairs his old machines or buys new ones is a question for him to determine. But in making his decision, we give to every farmer who owns any IHC machines the assurance that a lull stock of repair parts will always be provided by this Company. . ( Today, our repair stocks on the territory available for the farmers are 21 per cent greater than ever before at this time of the year. An average of a quarter million pounds of repairs are shipped from IHC factories for every working day in the year. Thirty million dollars worth of repair parts are now ready, as insurance for the farmer when he needs this service In every International Harvester Works manufacturing orders call for repair parts first and even when furnishing them has meant cutting down production of new machines for which we had orders, repairs have always had preference. At every one of our 91 branch houses trained men are on duty to see that all orders are filled and shipped promptly. Thousands of dealers scattered every where with an assortment of repairs in stock are always ready and willing to render every assistance. This service which this Company has rendered through the years to those who have purchased its machines has been a matter of great pride to the Company, and is the foundation cf the cordial good-will existing between it and its customers. We feel it is due the Company and those who have purchased its machines that we give the widest publicity to the fact that this service of repairs will be maintained and improved, and that any charges to the contrary are untrue.

I The services were conducted by Rev. H. G. McClusky, pastor of the church, assisted by Kev. A. G. Hollo well, pastor of the Christian church, and in the short sermon delivered by Rev.

Liggett & Myeks Tobacco Co. A Tribute Once more inexorable Time has knocked at the gates of Eternity the gates have swung back, and a hu man soul, a fellow citizen, a good neighbor and friend, has stepped out into the infinite;- leaving us sore hearted and lonely. Accustomed, for many years, to the almost daily cheerful greeting of our friend as we passed upon the highway; and having often watched the gleam from the windows of his loved home, and while the memory of the interchange of many neighborly tokens seems so fresh, it is well to pause in reflective thought upon the relationships of life. We know now, as we look back, that William McCauley was deserv ing of the respect and good will of his friends and fellow citizens. He was not obstrusive in his opinion, but firm In his convictions. He made no great display of his loyaltj-, but his fidelity to his country and friends was unflinching. lie sought no high honors from his fellow citizens, but was content to receive as his crown the diadem of fidelity and trust. N'o complaint ever came from those for whom he toiled. . His daily tasks were performed with a view of ren dering just service for his wige. and securing means for the comfort and enjoyment of those he best loved his home, his wife and children. Af ter all, what more can be said to the honor of mortal. All these qualities unerringly point o a hjgher development an unending progress. Who shall say that William McCauley has not step ped out into Eternity for a higher life. As we reflect upon the days and years of this fellow citizen, let us, at least, try to emulate in our own lives, whatever of worth and good we discovered in his. The tribute of a neighbor.

' Lost anything fount! anything Try a Journal ad. "They satisfy." The members of Plattsmouth lodge Xo. 739, IJ. P. O. K., held a very interesting meeting last evening at their lodse rooms and which was at tended by a very large representation of the membership to witness the in duction of five candidates into the mysteries of the order. The beau tiful ritualistic ceremonies of the lodge were conducted by the officers and upon the newly made Elks made a lasting impression as they learned the lessons that must be taught to those who would become members of the antlered herd and join the great fraternity of friendship and Amer icanism. following the initiation luncheon was served and the efforts of the committee in charge in providing for the wants, of their fraternal brothers was thoroughly appreciated by all the members who were present. The local Elks lodge has grown by ; leaps and bounds in the past year and already a large class is in pros pect for the near future that will insure it being, probably the largest fraternal organization in the city in point of membership. The Elks are also planning a min strel show in the near future which will be given with the usua lElk thoroughness and will certainly be a "knockout" in the entertainment line. Those who witnessed the' minstrel of a few years ago can well realize the excellent material that the order affords and with the large number of new members they have a wonder ful field to work from in selecting their talent.

URGES FIGHT FOR LOWER RATES PSliiii KATTLE KING Dr. G. H. Schleh of Omaha, Sover eign Chaplain, Addresses Members of Order at Perkins House. Last evening a number of the members of the Woodmen of the World met at the parlors of the Per kins House, where they were ad dressed by Dr. G. II. Schleh of Oma ha, one of the prominent workers in the order, and sovereign chaplain, who discussed informally with the members the question of rates in the order which have in the past year incrceased somewhat and especially to the older membership of the or der Dr. Schleh urged the members to take the matter up and see that delegates were elected to the head camp of Nebraska which meets at Columbus on April 18-19, who w-ould oppose the high rates and see that the Nebraska delegates to the sover eign camp were instructed to sup port the proposition to restore the rates to their old standard. Within the past year this has grown to be a very important question with the older members and they are very ear nest in their desire to see the rates reduced to a figure where it will be possible to maintain them without any injustice to the order. ood made the first ICattle Kins 1 1 P .
