FEW FEOM HEEE GOING
The big national convention of the

week isn't drawing very heavily
from this county, despite the fact
that St. Paul is little farther away
than Kansas City, where the con

and attended by more than a score of
local ex-service men. St. Paul has
arranged a lot of good entertainment

as great a program and as large a
crowd will ever again be assembled
at: a Legion convention as the one in
Kansas City, attended by all the al

100,000 ex-service men from over

that one of the coal sheds of the

The members of the department

"MADE IN FLATTS
MOUTH AND SOLD
THE WORLD OVER"
Gas Saving Device Manufactured at
Eertschy Factory in This City
a Winner.
The slogan, "Made in Plattsmouth,
Sold the World Over," is one that
mot fittingly speaks of the new gas
oline saving and rower producing de
vice for autos that has been plr.ced
cn the market by the Bertschy fac
tory of this city and growing by
lerrs and bounds into popular favor.
This device has won many friends
by the manner in which it has cut
down the consumption of gasoline in
operating an auto or truck and in
creasing the power of the car by its
excellent qualities in giving a much
better running condition.
The n-jw patented device gives to
the car the night driving conditions
makes the cars operate more effect
ively in the day time and on the
amount of gas consumed with almost
twice the power that is to be found
in the ordinary car not equipped
with the Bertschy automatic gas sav
er and moisture producer.
The new device draws vapor from
the radiator and combines with the
gas from the crank case forms a lub
ricant and power producer that gives
the car a great deal more power at
far less gas consumption. It cuts
down the pull on the needle valve
that supplies the gasoline and also
operates to take out the carbon that
may have formed in the cylinder
which causes trouble. A few trips
with the new device attached to the
engine will prove that it is a real
money saver in every way.
A groat many of the Plattsmouth
and Cass county people have had
their cars equipped with these de
vices and are finding it a real bene
fit to their cars and their pocket
books. Orders are coming in from
all sections of the country.

MISSOURI PACIFIC
RAILROAD TO AP
PEAL TO COURT
Claims State Has no Power to Sub
ject Its Private Property to Pub
lic Use for Benefit of Shippers.
Frein Thursday's Daily
The Missouri Pacific railroad
served notice Wednesday on the
state railway commission that it
will appeal to the supreme court
from the recent order of that body
ordering that it throw open its team
tracks in Omaha for the use of ship
pers on its Omaha trackage whose
carlot stuff comes to Omaha over
other railroads. The company con
tends that the commission has no
power to compel it to subject its
property to such use, and that it has
the exclusive right to direct to what
use it shall be put.
The tracks in controversy form a
part of the old Belt line railway pur
chased by the Missouri Pacific. Men
in control of industries on the tracks
have insisted that the obligations of
the old Belt Line company to serve
all persons alike and to continue to
set cars where they desired them re
gardless of what road hauled them
into Omaha.
The Missouri Pacific insists that
these tracks are not subject to pub
lic use, any more than are the team
tracks of other railroads ia Omaha.
The advantage that lies to them in
this position is that this rule Insures
to them the road haul and does not
limit their participation merely to
the switching charge.
EUE0PE LOOKS WESTWARD
With thirty nations represented
in the late World's Power Congress
at London, it was freely admitted
that all eyes were turned toward the;
United States because of its pre
eminent prestage in the way of elec
tric development. This sounds trite,
but. it is significant in more ways
than one. In this country, the pub
lic utilities are recognized as a very
essential element in social better
ment; there are professional utility
courses offered in all the great uni
versities; the utility industries are
looking to the future and are build
ing on sound foundations. To a
marked degree electrical develop
ment has been fostered by govern
ments in many European countries.
The contrary is true in the United
States where private capital under
sane governmental regulation has
furnished inspiration for the best ef
forts of the best minds of this virile
new nation.
