AAAA A AAAAA Eastern automobilists are ar ranging for an auto tour across the countr replacing the Glid den tour of past years which has been discontinued It is ted that ioo cars and possibly 300 people will be included in this tour But the vital point in this matter is the fact that the route so far adopted does not in clude Nebraska but runs from New York to Denver via Kansas City Nebraska is ignored not withstanding her roads compare favorably with those of any of the middle western states The question of changing this itinerary is being taken up with the New Yuik cud by the Xen laska State Automobile Associa tion and other associations and it is hoped to secure a chang including Nebraska Commercial clubs of the state will be asked to cooperate with auto associations in bringing about this highly desirable end It would be a rare opportunity for Nebrasxans to show their state in its true light and color to eastern people who need the il lumination Harry F Strom has besa se
