oMore value
than the Price Suggests
In the year just drawing to a close the price
of Dodge Brothers Motor Cars was mate
rially lowered.
Yet during this period more important im
provements were incorporated than in any
year in Dodge Brothers history. Advances
were made in engineering and body designs.
The cars possess a greater degree of smooth
ness, silence and ease. They are more com
fortable, more beautiful
Current prices made possible, of course, by
constantly mounting sales are therefore not
an obvious measure of value. Prices, in fact,
have never told the full story of Dodge
Brothers dependability and basic worth.
But now, more than ever before, there is far
more value than the price suggests.

From Saturday's Dally
The visit of Santa Claus and his
helpmate, Mrs. Santa Claus to this
city today was the source of joy to
hundreds of the children of this city
and vicinity and commenced to gath
er at the court house lawn as early
as 9 o'clock and by the time the
arrival of Santa and his wife at 10:30
there was a crowd of some 1,200
children at the court house lawn with
several hundred of the parents and
older people swelling the crowd that
was extending the welcome to Santa
for the yuletide season.
As the hour of ten o'clock arrived
the whistle at the Burlington shops
sounded the glad news of the com
ing of Santa and his wife and a few
moments later the church and ft hool
bells rang out the tdings that he had
arrived at Plattsmouth. As Santa
and his wife arrived at the inter
section of Sixth and Main streets the
sleigh in which the Christmas visi
tors were riding was surrounded by
the elected representatives of the
city and St. John's schools who com
prised the reception "committee.
The parade was formed with the
junior drum corps under the diroc-
tion of Vernon Am heading the
march and followed by the American
flag and the Coy Scouts and follow
ing these the official reception com
mittee of the city and parochial
schools and then the center of at
traction, the genial Santa and his
wife.
As the parade came into view of
the court house a great cheer arose
from the children and it was with
difficulty that the Boy Scouts held
the mass of the little folks in check
while Santa and his wife were mak
ing their way to the everygreen de
corated platform on the terrace in
front of the court house.
' The children's' reception commit
tee and others representing the so
cieties of the city were present at
the platform.
C. C. Wescott acted as master of
ceremonies and introduced the var
ious members of the reception com-
imittee to Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus
while of course Santa needed no In
troduction to the chldrcn.
County Commissioner Harris greet-
!ed Santa for the residents of Cas?
county,' while Mayor C. A. Johnson
extended the official greeting for the
city. As Mayor C. A. Johnson closed
. his address the ' golden key to the
j city ' was presented to Santa by little
Miss Levone Hild most charmingly.
The speaking program was tlosed
iby the welcome of Judge James T.
j-Begley on behalf of the' chamber of
commerce. 1 i ' ...
I The children were then called upon
to fall in line and each one
filed past Santa they were presented
with a ticket bearing a number' cor
responding to a similar number in
one of the business houses or offices
of the professional men of the city
'and which brought to the little folk?
jmany attractive little gifts and re
membrances that they will cherlsp
very much as mementos of dear old
, Santa.
The disttribution of the tickets was
! added to by the fact that Mrs. Santa
gave out a chocolate bar to each of
the children that added to the fun
and pleasure of the occasion.
I The Boy Scouts did a most valu
able service in the Santa Clau?
greeting that desrves the warmest
words of praise and made the event
a real success.

This morning John Cotner was
verv sprinnslv if not fatallv iniureri

north of this city, being crushed be-i

paring to assist in the unloading of
one of the trucks when a second truck
came up and was backed into thej
first truck, Mr. -Cotner being pinnei' I
between the two trucks and having
his abdomen very badly crushed andj
injured.
As soon as the accident occurred
the alarm was given and one of the;
trucks pulled away and the injured !
man tottered a few steps and fell J
onto the road in a faint. Help was
summoned and the injured man hur
ried to the office of the Irs. Living
ston where an examination disclosed
that the injured man was suffering,
from an internal hemorrhage and in-
dicating the rupture of one of the!
intestines or blood vessels. , j
The injured man was hurried to
the hospital in Omaha where he was:
given treatment and such aid pos-'
sible altho his condition was most
grave and gave little encouragement .
to the members of the family who'
were summoned to the oflice of the
surgeons here as soon as the exam
ination was made and it was seen
that the injured man was injured
internally.
It was stated that the other em
ployes at the highway work had call
ed to Mr. Cotner as the second truck
started to back into the vicinity of
the truck at which Mr. Cotner was
at work, but he failed to hear the
cries of his companions and in a few
seconds had beencaught and pinned
by the trucks, j ;
