What Kind of Plates Are
in YOUR Battery?
The big value of your storage battery
quick starts and longer life de
pends largely upon the battery plates.
Soft Plates
provide plenty, cf "pep" and power while the
battery is new, but quickly wear down and lose
their strenfith, making a short-lived battery.
Hard'Plates
provide long life and staying ability, but the bat
ery lacks the "pep" and power necessary for
quick starts, good lights and ignition.
Perfected Process Plates
are tho only plates that combine the good fea
tures of both. Prest-O-Lite Perfected Process
Plates have a super-hard center or "backbone"
yet the surface is porous and therefore super-sensitive
to the electro-chemical action which creates
electricity for starting, lighting and ignition. They
give greater "pep," power nnd longer life to every
Prest-O-Lite Battery.
Be sure your next battery has these plates.

Reflections Of The Rotdsioc
An idea of the thrift and success
of a farmer is often formed largely
by the appearance of the roadside
nlnnf Viin fnvm. A stwtli of ivpndv.
desolate, neglected roadside abruptly
terminating at a lino fence and the '
adjoining stretch clean, neat and
well kept, often causes a consider
able difference in our conception, ng-
riculturally of tho two farms as well
as of the persons operating them.
Some farmers evidently consider
l.o roadside along their farms as
distinctly separate from and wholly
outside of their jurisdiction, and any
time or labor expended in keeping it
as so much gratuitously donated to
the public. Every farmer should con
sider the roadside along his farm as
deserving as much of his attention as
the farm itself. He should consider
the road the "front way" to his farm
and, instead of it receiving second
ary attention, it should be one of the
first places by which the appearance
of the farm is improved.
At first thought, to cut the weeds
along the road while back in the corn
field they arc growing rank, seems
rather incongruous, but it also seems
absurd to cut tho weeds in the corn
field while those by tho roadside arc
left to thrive and help to resced tho
field again. If weeds arc not in liar-1
mony itlv our ideals of good farm-1
ing, why is it not good policy to di
rect tho first efforts in tho way of
their removal to the roadside, thus
not only benefitting ourselves but all
who travel the highway, as wo'l?
A neat, clean roadside improves
tho appef.inncc of the farm. Appear-!

SOCIETY OF 353th
The "Society of the 355th Infan
try," an organization formed by the
active members who remained with
the regiment during its stay in the
army of occupation, while stationed
at Saarburg, Germany, has opened
Headquarters in Lincoln, Nebraska,
reparatory to opening the member
ship campaign for men who be
longed at one time or another but
who left the regiment before they
Had the opportunity of becoming a
rp'ember of the permanent organiza
tion. .' .Every man who served honorably
aft any time with the 355th Infantry
ilV eligible to membership and is in
cited to get in touch with the head-ejuartei-s.
More than a thousand
members were enrolled at the first
series of meetings in Germany af
ter which work had to be delayed on
.account of the movement home of
the Eighty-ninth division.
The Society is preparing now to
publish for its members a complete
roter of all men who were with the
regiment at any time as .well as
list of casualties and the reprinted
history of the Division and regi
ment as published in Germany. It is
intended to hold the first convention
this fall probably in Lincoln, Oma
ha, or Kansas City, on or about No
vember 11th, the exact place and
date to be made public later, and it
is hoped and expected that a large
majority of the five thousand men,
enrolled under the name of the
355th at one time or another will
come there to renew acquaintances
that cannot be kept alive without
some such system.
Earl M. Cline of Nebraska City,
formerly Captain with the regiment
was chosen firat president when the
Society was formed in Germany,
Charles W. Hill of Ravenna, mess
sergeant with F Company was marie
vice president and Carlisle L. Jones
of Lincoln, Corporal of Headquar
ters Company, was made secretary
and treasurer, and to him all -applications
for membership or informa
tion may be addressed. Membership
fee for the first year which includes
the publications the society is pre
paring, is a dollar with provision
that the yearly dues may be any
thing adopted at the convention un
der a dollar a year.
This is of particular interest to
Nebraska men because the 35rith In
fantry was tho largest single unit
known as a Nebraska unit that
reached active service. It suffered
the heaviest casualties of any reg
iment of the Division and was
in the thick of things and known as
tiie iMcorasKa infantry. AU mem
bers from Ml states are included 111
the tociety nuct several hundred men
:.nd officers trtm the olh"r Mates
arc already enrolled, but it is hoped
that for Nebraska the regiment
may come to mean what favorite
regiments have been to other states
in previous wars. To this end it is
especially desired that all Nebraska
men once identified with the 35bth
Infantry get in touch with tho per
manent organization this summer.
Men from Ked Cloud or in the
neighborhood of Red Cloud who are
already members of this society and
who can give information concern
ing its formation in Europj and
the good it is hoped to do include:
Randall Young, Guide Rock; Perry
Lovcjoy, Inavale; B. C. Anderson,
Red Cloud; Otho A. Ellison, Red
Cloud; Harvey J. Ricker&on, Red
Cloud.
