Nicholson DENTIST Cfouo" Red Nebraska HEAVY TRAFFIC OVER NEBRAS KA ROADS The total dnily traffic over Ne braska roads is estimated to bo 0, 900,000 miles. -This estimate Is based on figures given out "by the State De partment of Public Works which re cently collected some interesting nnd valuable data on the subject "of Ne braska traffic. ' Eightccm representatives stations were chosen on the state highways. Those stations wore located at some distance from towns, and localities where peculiar conditions would make traffic unusually heavy were avoid ed. Observations were made from 6:00 a. m. to 8:00 p. m., every day between August 20 and 26. Some of the data supplied by the survey is very enlightenning. There was a total of 89,318 vehicles which passed these stations during the time covered, or an average of 708 per day for each station. As would be expected, autos comprised a large proportion of the traffic, or a total of 80,113. There were 5,836 trucks, or n daily average per station of 46. "Old Dobbin" hns not entirely quit the road, for we find there were 3, 3G9 vehicles drawn by horses. Sixty one jier cent of tho horse-drawn ve hicles were hauling loads and 39 per pent were hauling passengers. As might ho expected, tho local county traffic wus heaviest rompris imt about 51 per cent of the total auto traffic; irler-eounty traflic r.'iout 31 per cent and interstate traf fic, about 15 jjcr cent. The interstate traffic consisted of 13,500 autos i.ud 382 trucks. This class of traffic was heaviest at the station near Fairmont with Millard and North Platte stations close sec ond and third. The largest number of interstate trucks was observed at the station near Dakota City with 41 vehicles. The York station, near the central part of the state, was second with 30 vehicles. , There are about 5,000 miles of state highway In Nelxraska. It mby be supposed that the stations selected were fair averages forf'the state", it is cstimatedythatiCO per cent of the traffic o'f the" state is over the 5,000 miles of state' highway. This would rg'lve the figures as set forth in he n't. i 'rnnnnnn it.- .)!!.. traffic mileage over Nebraska roads. At 12 'miles per gallon for ''all, ve hicles, including trucks it would take nearly a half million gallons of gas oline daily to supply the motor power for Nebraska traffic.

WALKER THE GARDEN INVISIBLE SINGH taa first mwnorabls day la , which jrou ventured forth with a vttsrlni consciousness of your woa dsrful capabilities, t show tbe sld world that It could never hope to maka peraaaent progress without your help, you have, let It be said, with due allowances, been digging, planting, raking and watering In the garden Invisible. And this la your garden, your very own. Everybody In this storm-troubled sphere has one, so you ure no excep tion. Tlig sunbeams play hide nnd seek, und tho storms beat at regular Intervals, as the Kods will. And Btrange to suy, you carry this garden with you wherever you go. Yours Is not a coward soul, yet It lachs courage to take your friends In to this particular garden and show them the result of your achievements. You nre a little abashed at the nox ious plants that spring up In the night, nnd often left standing to gather strength to crowd out the good and the beautiful. Fulling In this you begin to fail In yourself. So here Is where your sorrows take root and overwhelm you with fear In the season of ripening fruit. Year ufter year you have been care lessly sowing and reaping only a hand ful. Time has flown by on silent wings. You fnlled to take note of Its swift flight, and Instead of giving at tention to your own work, you med dled with tho work of others. You yielded to temptation, Indul gence, Idleness and made a frightful picture on the face of the soil In trusted to you to cultivate. As autumn comes you gaze on the scene with an overpresslng sense of neglect and u sickening humility.. The sun nnd tho showers were fulth Xul to their trust ; the soil was rich, capable of bringing forth the choicest fruits of wealth and happiness. Beside your fornuken garden in your neighbor's, radiant with (lowers and golden fruits. While he was doing his duty, working faithfully at his given task, and later giving work to others, jcii were falthl!1, grumbling ami nujllyoiit, as Is eldtneed by your garden, tilled now with worthless, withered wi'inlx, taunting ami mocking you In tho evening of your given dtij. t by MtCluro Newiiiaiirr Smtlcato.) , I , A Financial Rainbow SAVING ACCOUNT is n most wnlrnmn rnihhnw A to the financial storms of your life After the JL clouds havo rolled by and you find your Savings J I fltill thorn. ihf FlltlirA 'Will InnV nirnr an. mimk brighter and cheerful.
