The Iki'i International Truck will OUT-PULL, OUT-CLIMB and OUT-PERFORM all Others o Similar Rating fl We have a new truck here at our place that is entirely different from any other light truck on the market it has SIX speeds forward and two reverse.. And the difference shows up mighty plain when you run up against steep grades, plowed ground, deep sand, soft mead ews, ditches, snow, etc. The SIX-SPEED SPECIAL is ahead of the others, because it is built to go ahead on just the kind of work that folks around here have to do. JIt is an ideal truck for the farm, and it fills the bill with merchants, too. Anybody who has to haul loads over good roads and bad will . like the SIX-SPEED SPECIAL. fj We are demonstrating it every day, so don't feel backward about asking us to show you what this truck will do. It backs up every thing we say about it and its low price will surprise you.

The banks of clouds protending the approach of the tornado were visible from Louisville, fourteen miles west of this city, and caused some alarm there for a time but passed to the north between Spring field and Papillion. This city was stirred by the report late in the af ternoon that the storm had visited Louisville but this was found to be untrue and quieted the fears for our sister city and its people. A tornado struck west of Ulysses, in Butler county, about 3 o'clock and traveled north end east until it had passed between David City and Brainard. Much property damage re sulted. Early reports indicated only one had been hurt. Two men were slightly Injured and many farm buildings were de stroyed by the twister which tore a path several miles long about a mile west of Papillion late in the afternoon. Miss Margaret Schobert, living about three miles west of Papillion and who teaches school about three miles east of the town, was driving home and saw the storm approach ing. She stopped her car and lay down in the ditch beside the road. Just behind her came Charles R. Sprague, farmer of north of Spring field, with another man. They passed Miss Schobert and drove squarely into the storm's path. Their car was hurled into the ditch by the wind and Sprague was slightly injured about the head, while his companion suffered minor hurts. Charles J. Seibold, farmer, one and one-half miles southwest of Papillion, was in his haymow when a hired man warned him of the storm's approach. Seibold and his family took refuge in a cave and es caped injury, but a big barn, hog house and chicken house were de stroyed and the chimney was torn off the residence. Most of the buildings destroyed were new. The windmill on the John Pex farm, one mile south of Seibold's, was torn down. Buildings on the farm of William and John Bartels, three and one-half miles southwest of Papillion, were badly damaged. On the farm occupied by Lee Blod- i gett, near Portal, all the buildings except the house were destroyed, and that was badly damaged. The family found safety in the cave. Of a fine drive of tall evergreen trees several hundred feet long, only three trees were left standing. Flee to Caves. The Pappio creek was reported running hank full at Papillion at 7 o'clock Wednesday night, and car rying considerable debris, indicat ing heavy rain upstream with pos sible further unreported damage. There was little rain at Papillion, and no wind damage, but many of the residents, able to see the storm to the west and to hear its roar, fled to their caves. Jesse Howe, farmer living near David City, was the only known casualty in Butler county. He was hurt, however, after the storm, by a fall among debris. He was taken to a David City hispital. The Butler county tornado ex tended for 10 miles, but struck no towns. It started two and a halt i miles north of Ulysses and the first damage was three miles southeast of David City, where the farm home and buildings of H. E. Porter were completely demolished. Trees two feet thick were uprooted and carried more than a half mile. Damage was done at the Joseph Bley farm. Hhis home was sliced in two and half the house carried off. At both places, residents found ref uge in basemen t3. Working toward Fremont, the twister demolished all farm build ings of Joseph Rolenc. The Ed Stearns farm nearby also was struck, but not damaged so badly. The storm did not strike in Sew ard, but school children there were dismissed before 3 p. m. when tele phone officials warned of the ap proaching cloud. The funnel shaped cloud could be seen clearly at Sew ard. Residents In west Omaha watched a funnel shaped cloud in the south west for 15 minutes late Wednesday afternoon. Shingles were dropped from the air around the home of T. J. Davey, Seventy-eighth and Lake streets. The storm dipped at,' the John Kirker farm two and a half miles southwest of Ashland. Neb., taking the roof and the front porch from the house. A chicken house was car ried 50 yards and left In an annl tree. Hits Near Gothenburg: A storm of nearly tornado char acter struck four miles west of Gothenburg Tuesday night, damag ing buildings at a score of farms, as it covered a stretch of seven miles. Seventy-five head of hogs were drowned when a wall of water swept from a canyon on the ranch of H. L.. Williams. . , Wreckage of sign boards and small buildings littered roads west of Kear ney during the day Wednesday. Rains were torrential throughout the sec tion west of Kearney, being reported as five inches near Callaway. North. Platte's Tuesday night weather was ' as near a cloudburst as had been seen there for nine years, with a total of more than two inches during a short time in the evening.

SOU that there's no sentiment in business, but we have found since we began to celebrate our 50th anniversary, that cold reserve retires and the warmth and spontaneity of the heart comes to the front. Anniversaries are senti mental affairs. With delight and charm they revive the events and memories of the past. They stimulate and intensify our concern for the present. They chal lenge and inspire us with hopes and ambitions for the future. ... So it is with this 50th Anniversary of the House of Wescott clothing headquarters for Platts mouth and much of Cass county, for the lat half cen tury.
