She meant that it is always as easily and complete ly under her control as her own movements. She meant that she always feels safe and sure and secure, because she always knows exactly what the Hupmobile will do under any and all circumstances. A woman knows, for instance, that the.Hup mobile motor will not stall—and because it can not, therefore it’s safest. She knows the turning radius of the Hupmobile is remarkably small for a car of its length. That makes it easy to handle. With a wheelbase of 119 inches, the Hupmobile will circle in a 40-foot street. The motor is so flexible that she gets along with a minimum of gear shifting. The steering is so easy that a child can guide the car almost without effort. The driving seat is made with a scientific regard for her comfort—with a high, restful back, and the seat cushion tilted at precisely the right angle. She gives no thought to emergencies which might require rer.yr . because she knows that repairs are so few and lar between that they can safely be forgotten. The Hupmobile is always a source of pleasure to the woman w ho drives—or the woman who rides. I:.at s why in every Hupmobile home there’s a woman who is a Hupmobile enthusiast. Let us give the Hupmobile merit-test at your convenience. $1085 Call and see this car and have it demonstrated W. R. HENKENS ROCKVILLE, NEBR. Dyspepsia Tablets Will Relieve Your Indigestion Wm.

Sometimes very bad errors creep in to print and an unfortunate error oc curred in last week’s Northwestern, which caused no little concern to all interested. An obituary in the Rock ville items was scattered through the items. The article consisted of three paragraphs and they wrere wide ly separated, spoiling the article and having no meaning whatever. The error occured in the makeup and was the result of rush work in getting the forms ready as the office was covered up with work and the paper was late. We keenly regret the error, and re print the article in its proper form this week. Special Teachers' Examinations.

HIS CRITICISM WAS AT FAULT English General Had Much to Learn of the Geography of the United States. The European has grown so accus tomed to sneering at the American for his ignorance of European affairs, especially since the outbreak of the war. that we have grown to take the snub submissively, with never a thought of the even more gross ignor ance of things American on the part of Europeans. Yet that such ignorance is common in Europe, even among the educated and military classes, there is no doubt. The elder Charles FYancls Adams, who was United States minister to Great Britain during the Civil war. used to tell the following experience with a prominent Englishman: Late in July. 1863, there being no cable then laid under the Atlantic, a steamer from New York brought to the American legation in London dis patches announcing the fall of Vicks burg and I-ee’s repulse at Gettysburg on the same day. A few evenings later I held a reception in honor of the double victory, inviting all the prominent figures of English official society. Among the guests was Maj. Gen. Garnet Wolseley, afterward command er in chief of the British army. After congratulating me upon the dual suc cess of the Union arms, he added: “Yet I think your generals made a very serious blunder. Mr. Adams.” "In what respect?” I asked, some what mystified; for it had seemed to me that Grant at Vicksburg, and Meade, at Gettysburg, had done about all there was to be done. “Why, in resting upon their arms,” explained General Wolseley. “In or der to make the two victories com plete, General Grant should have joined his forces with those of Meade that night and, by daylight the next morning, fallen upon the remnants of Lee’s army and crushed it.” Though sorely tempted, 1 considered my position as a minister and re frained from calling the doughty gen eral’s attention to the fact that Vicks burg and Gettysburg are a thousand miles apart! Mrs. J. H. Burwell and two daugh ters returned home last Saturday evening from Lincoln, where they had been the past week visiting with friends.
