OMAHA AUTO SHOW
S00NT0 BE HELD
Great Exhibition of the Auto Indus
try Will be Held at the Nebras
ka metropolis Soon.
Omaha. March 3. Omaha's Sev
enteenth Annual Automobile Show
to be held at the auditorium. March
l: to 18, will contain more of inter-J
est to car owner and dealer than any J
other show in recent years. There
i i i '
were lew cnanges in moueis uunug
the war. With the signing of the ar
mistice in November, 1918.- the fac
tories nearly all of whom had been
making munitions of war, had to be
converted back to a car manufactur
ing basis again. With the big de
mand of 1919, there was a shortage'
of materials, advancing prices, and
calls for cars and more cars. There
was not time for new cars or new
models.
The changes began in the winter
of 1920-21 and continued through
out the year,. the decrease in demand
allowing the Engineers time for a de
velopment of improvements as the
Tesult of their experience from 1917
to 1921.
So a wealth of new models and
new cars are 'being shown at' the
various 'motor'exhibitions. And all of
the leading ones will be present at
the Omaha show.
Prices it is felt have now been
stabilized. Drastic reductions were
made last year, and the New York
and Chicago shows saw further cuts.
Manufacturers are now talking that
prices must go up rather than down.
The greatly improved cars shown
for 1922 are sold at prices that com
pare most favorably with the pre
war level.
For the dealers, one of the main1
events is the Dealers Frolic. A ban
quet will be held at the Fontenelle
hotel Thursday, March 16th. George
M. Graham, a leading figure in the
automotive manufacturing field, will
deliver an inspiration address. Fol
lowing that, there will be a whirl
wind program, good sport events,
mirth provokers, jazz.
As usual there will be musical
programs every afternoon and eve
ning and the cars trucks and acces
sories will be presented in a wonder
ful setting.
A. B. Waugh. commissioner of the
Omaha Automobile Trade associa
tion, who has visited several of the
shows, reports that everywhere there
has been a record breaking attend
ance, the keenest interest in the new
models, and many sales.
The special railroad rates on the
first three days with final date of
March 20, insure a great attendance
from out of town.
The Pneumonia Month
March -is a typical pneumonia
month and usually gives a high rate
of mortality for the disease. After a
long and hard winter, the system
loses much of its resistance and peo
ple grow careless. When every cold,
no matter how slight, is given
prompt and intelligent attention,
there is much less danger of pneu
monia. It should be borne in mind
that pneumonia is a germ disease and
breeds in the throat. Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy is an expectorant and
cleans out the germ ladened mucu3
and not only cures a cold but pre
vents its resulting in pneumonia. It
is pleasant to take. Children take
it willingly. Weyrich & Hadraba.

Lincoln, March 1. Today's devel
opments at the inquiry into the af
fairs of the state department of pub
lic works included:
Admission by ' Frank M. Stuart,
Norfolk, department engineer, that
he received ?15 from the state on a
blank receipt for which he later gave
a personal check.
Promulgation by the board of in
quiry of a rule prohibiting inter
ruption of witnesses and exchange
of personalities after Department
Secretary George E. Johnson had
charged Paul Weaver, Falls City,
this morning with telling untruths.
A charge by County Attorney L.
C. Westwood of Johnson county that

Omaha, original contractor, received
3 6 cents.
The department laid out a Broad-
water-N'orthport road that twice
crossed the North Platte river and
the Union Pacific tracks when a road
running north of the tracks would
have been miles shorter with no
crossings.
The department pad $18,000 for a
fixty-threa acre gravel pit in Saun
ders ..county that was a part of 163
j acre sthat two months before was
sold for $10,000.
The board has asked Johnson to
make a showing on the last three
charges.
"Auto Hire" Bill
J. F. Relf, county engineer of
Richardson county, who was charg
ed by the state department of public
works with misfeasance in office last
September, today laid before the
board of inquiry at its second day's
probe of department affairs, informa
tion calculated to show that Frank
M. Staurt, Norfolk department engi
neer, who spent three months check
ing up the accounts of Relf and oth
er county officials and made the ad
verse report, drew $15 from the state
on "auto hire" for which he actu
ally paid $5 three months later.
Staurt, called to the witness stand
to explain, identified the $5 check
dated "January 6, 192," as one he
wrote for Carl Shillineck, assistant
county engineer of Richardson coun
ty, for his services in driving the in
vestigator over 200 miles of county
roads for three days August 25 to
27, 1921.
It was on this trip that Staurt
"found" that certain improvements
on which the county made on roads
did not exist, according to the de
partment report. Relf declared today
that every improvement could be ac
counted for.
Staurt admitted Relf's assertion
that he required Shillineck to sign
a blank receipt and that he himself
filled in the blank with the words
$15 (Fifteen dollars) for auto deliv
ery at agreed price of $5 a day for
three days, and Included the receipt
in this personal expense itemization.
Staurt received his pay from the
state on Warrant No. 89,110.
"My personal check was to pay
Shillineck for his services after I
found he had not been paid by the
county," Staurt said.
"The remaining $10 of the re
ceipt was for gas, oil and repairs on
the car."
"Whose car was that." asked Relf.
"I don't know." said Staurt.
"It was my car. and I paid for the
oil. gas and repairs," answered Relf.
The witness was excused and Ep
person asked Attorney General C. JL.
Davis, secretary of the board, if this
was the proper way to spend state
money.
"I can't say I approve it," he re
plied. Dr. Fred Hoffmeister, Imperial,
volunteered with some heat, what he
would do if he were governor and he
knew of such a condition.
Excellent Remedy for Constipation.
It would be hard to find a better
remedy for constipation than Cham
berlain's Tablets. They are easy to
take and mild and gentle in effect.
Give them a trial when you have
need. Weyrich & Hadraba.
Advertising is the life of trade.
