Sells Good Tires.
"Upon the tires of an automobile
rest a large share of the responsibil
ity for motoring safety."
This statment was made by E. M.
Jardine, Greenwood Firestone dealer
who gave a brief explanation of the
part played by tires in braking an
automobile.
"Unless the tires are so construct
ed as to transfer the action of the
brakes to the road surface, the brak
ing will be largely nullified and the
car will slide, slip and skid.
"Both tire and automotive engi
neers have recognized not only that
the tread of the tire must be de
signed not only to give traction for
the car to go ahead but to stop as
well.
"In developing the Full-Size Bal
loon, the Firestone Tire & Rubber
Co., also produced the greatest and
most efficient equipment from a safe
ty standpoint.
"The wider tread of the Full-Size
Balloon gives double the usual road
grip and greater braking surface.
There is a firm transaction under
any footing and the car promptly
responds to the application of the
brake pedal.
"The more numerous tread but
tons, with their multiplied non-skid
edges, convey a stronger, more possi
tive action to the road skidding
and sliding are practically eliminat
ed. Baloons also all to the safety
of the car by providing easy steer
ing control at all times.
"In these days of traffic conges
tion and narrow thorofares the ques
tion of braking and car control
looms large in the mind of every
motorist and is one of the reasons
for the widespread popularity of
Firestone Balloons."

STATE ADJUTANT HEBE
From Thursday's Dailv
C. W. Conklin, of Lincoln, depart

for a few hours last evening and
spent the time in conferring with
local Legion officials regarding the
final details of the program for the

post, he will mail a general bulletin
from state headquarters to all First
district officers urging attendance at

free feed and entertainment will run
between $425 and $450 and the post

Phil L. Kali
Candidate for
State Treasurer
Well Known Greenwood Banker Files
Name with County Clerk To
day for Nomination.
From Saturday's Daily
Thil L. Hall, president of th
Greenwood State Bank, and well
known over the state in banking
circles, will be a candidate for the
democratic nomination for state
treasurer, reports from Lincoln this
afternoon state.
Mr. Hall has been urged by his
friends to get into the race as he is
splendidly qualified for the office and
his large circle of friends has been
urgent in their requests that he try
for the position. Coming from a dis
tinguished democratic family, it
upon this ticket that Mr. Hall will
seek the nomination for state treas
urer.
Phil L. Hall is a native son of Ne
braska and has grown up in the bank
ing business as his father, the late
Dr. P. L. Hall was for years the head
of the Central National bank,, o
Lincoln, and it was in this surround
inc: and under the guidance of the
father that the young man received
his training in the banking bust
ness.
Under Governor Morehead Mr. Hall
served as the commander of the Ne
braska national guard and laid aside
this ofiice at the outbreak of the world
war to recruit and organize the 6th
Nebraska infantry of which he was
commissioned colonel and was sen
with his regiment to Camp Cody, New
Mexico, and in October 1917, wa
transferred to the 127th field artil
lery a3 the colonel of that organiza
tion and with which he served for
the remainder of the war.
After the close of the war in 1919
Mr. Hall returned to Nebraska and
again entered the banking business
securing an interest in the First Na
tional bank at Greenwood where he
cotinued until a few months ago
when the bank was re-organized into
the Greenwood State bank, and has
since been operating as a state bank
ing institution.
Mr. Hall was elected at the last
meeting of the Nebraska State Bank
ers association as chairman of the
executive committee and in which
capacity his long experience in the
banking business has proven most
valuable.
The new candidate is one of the
best qualified men that could be nam
ed for the office of state treasurer
and his nomination on the democratic
ticket undoubtedly would be follow
ed by a triumph at the polls as the
voters realize the worth and ability
of the genial young banker as the
custodian of the state finances.
The naming of Phil Hall as itate
treasurer would be one of the best
things the voters of Nebraska could
do for the betterment of the office
of the state treasurer.

Well Known Besident of the Western
Portion of the County Goes
to His Last Beward.
Henry P. Ellers, son of Abraham
and Elizabeth Ellers, was born in the

joined the Union army, and rose to

ACCIDENT PBEVENTION
In comemnting on that most im
portant subject, accident prevention,
J. E. Davidson, president of the Na
tion al Electric Light Association
said:
"I do not view accident preven
tion from the standpoint of dollars,
but from that of 'sense' humanitar
ian sense. I had occasion to visit
a power plant in a small Nebraska
town recently, and I was introduced
to a young man a fine looking chap
who was minus both of his hands.
The accident which brought him
this great misfortune could easily
have been prevented by caution, offi
cials told me.
"When you meet a man like that,
the millions of dollars in sevings,
the result of accident prevention, be
comes a secondary reason. His blast
ed life is more important to him,
his family, his industry, and the
commonwealth than all the money
we can save by eliminating acci
dents. But, nevertheless, there is
an enormous saving of money that
is to be taken into consideration.
"Accident prevention will not
only pay good dividends in money,
but more important, it pays dividends
in lives saved, tragedies and misfor
tunes avoided, happiness assured."

Thurdsay, making the trip via the
.Missouri Pacific railway.
Rudolph Bergman and wife and
Rev. Father Higgins of the St. Pat
rich's Catholic church, were visiting
and transacting business in Lincoln
last Tuesday.
J. C. Rauth was quietly celebrating
his 63rd birthday on Saturday, he
having been born on May 9th, 1863,
during the civil war, and has been a

and one of the best at that.
Bales Meisinger, who is working

Stander, accompanied by the wife,
Mrs. James Murphey and Miss Elenor
O'Brien, were visiting and doing some
shopping in Omaha last Saturday.

shop has assumed such proportions
that Mr. Lenard has, with difficulty,
been able to keep the work up. Uncle
George Schafer has been assisting In
some of the work which comes to the
shop, thus materially helping In a
time of rush work.)
One of the young farmers near Man
ley said last week that conditions for
the starting of corn were so favorable
that he was compelled to put an extra
horse on his lister to keep out of the
way of the sprouting corn, that the
tender shoots would not be broken
off by lister passing over them.
The new building of Crane, Curyea
& Murtey at the lumber yard is mak
ing good progress and has arrived at
that state where it is about enclosed
and will, in a short time, be com
pleted and will make a fine place for
the stock of hardware which Mr.
Crane carried as well as supplying
him with an excellent office.
John Eppings, the road man who
runs out of Murdock, is a hustler
when it conies to work and keeping
the roads up in proper condition. He
is particular in looking after the ap

no bump in going on or off the bridge.
The little washes which occur, he
keeps filled that they may not get
any larger.
Business Changes Hands.
The pool hall, which has been con
ducted by Edward Sheehan for the
past year, was sold one day last week
to James O'Leary, who will conduct

known resident of the vicinity of
Weeping Water and Manley and a
lady universally loved and respected
by a very large circle of friends over
the central portion of Cass county
where the greater part of her life
has been spent. For the past two
years Mrs. Bourke has been gradually
failing in health and her death was
not unexpected by the members of
the family circle as the mother had
been slowly growing weaker through
the long months of illness.
Mary Bates was born near the vil
lage of Louisville some fifty-five years
ago and has spent her life in the
central portion of this county up un
til the removal of the family to Oma-
ha twelve years ago and where they
have since resided. It was in this
county that she was married to John
Bourke and here the family that came
into their lives have grown to man
hood and womanhood. In her resi
dence in this county Mrs. Bourke
was a member of the St. Patrick's
church of Manley where she was a
devout attendant for many years.
With the husband there remain six
children to mourn the death of Mrs.
Bourke, they being Mrs. Charles
Brandt, Atlanta, Georgia; Mrs.
Thomas Libby, Omaha; Mrs. Wolfe,
Washington, D. C; Margaret and Joe
Burke, at Omaha and Mrs. A. J. Bru
leve of Kansas City.
The funeral arrangements have not
been definitely announced but it Is
thought that the services will be held
