Including owners, drivers and ro palreiB. Tlio Individuals nnd firms that deal In supplies have swooped down on Manager Powell during tho last week and It looks as If they are all going to be on hand, not only those of Omaha, but many from other cities.

This year tho supply men will .have at tractive booths In which to show their wares. Thero will be shelving on three of the' sides, the fronts being open.

Besides these, large numbers of factory men will bo hero to ussls't 'the loeal agents and dealers. II ii m of 3Inchliery. Ijtf.il week It .seemed that the show might-be iv bit shy on live exhibits. This, however. Is not tho case. Arrangements have been made so that the hum of ma chinery In motion will begin when the show starts and continue until tho close. Many of the live exhibits will be new and unique, as well as Interesting to all. Then, too, thero will be hundreds of now devices nnd tools for the use of the auto man, as well as for the mechanic. Ex perts will be present to explain the good points and give Instructions as to use. Omaha dealers In ovcry lino are getting Into tho game this year and while they will keep open hoiiso at their regular places f business, they wilt have exhibits nt tho show and will have men In charge of them. One of the big features of the show has Just been secured by Manager Powell. It Is a motor-propelled chemical hoso cart and fire truck, designed for use either In largo or small cities. It has a length of twenty-one feet over all nnd Is valued at $6,000. it is made and exhibited by a Kansas City company and Is expected to trove of great Interest to officials or cities. Believing this, Manager Powell has sent special Invitations to the mayors and flro chiefs of nil the cities and towns in Nebraska, Iowa and South Dakota to attend tho show and seo the now flr fighting machine. It will go Into the com merclal car section and will have a place on the main floor. Mualc a Feature. It has been decided to make the music one of the stellar features of the Omaha Automobile show. With this Idea in view, Director Neble of the First regiment or chestra has boeh scoured. He will prc vide two bonds that will discourse tho best selected music afternoons and even ings. Heretofore it has been the plan to place the orchestra furnishing muslo for the first floor high up in the gallery, under the roof and at the back end of the build ing. This year this orohestra will be right at the front. The stage to be oc cupied by the musicians will be at the west end of the building, but will be on tho plan of a hanging balcony, from which tho strains of muslo will go out in every direction. Downstaira In the basement Director Nebte will have another orchestra and it will play tho most popular selections. Both orchestras will render concert music at certain hours during each afternoon and evening. As tho plans are outlined now, there will be special nights. For Instance, there will be an Omaha night, r South Omaha night, a Council Bluffs night, a Lincoln night and a society night. While the nights are specially designated as being for tho people of a certain town or lo cality, they will be for everybody as well. Manager Powell Is now working on the feature program of tho show and it will be completed so that next Sunday It will appear In full In this column of this paper. Being official.

Mr. Abbott says life in a great city Is fine and he don't Omaha Auto to Go to India for Missionary Use An Omaha automobile is going to India to carry Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Bandy, missionaries, over their vast field of labor, comprising the villages of the Katehgarn district, sixty miles In length and from thirty to forty In width with an aggre gate population of 1,000,000, That Is tho plan, at least. And the pre sent owner of this auto a local dealer has advanced one-third of the cost of the machine to carry out the plan. Presby. tcrlan women of Nebraska, who maintain Mrs. Bandy in India, have contributed the other third and now the balance, 00. is HOUCllt. I wonder where that will corao fromT" says Mrs. U. W. Clabaugh. 1922 South Thirty-second street, vice president of the Woman's Presbyterian Missionary Union of Omaha. "I feel sure It Is coming, for Mis. Bandy says so; says that when she and Mr. Bandy reach Bombey tney ex pect to find the auto there to carry them ui) the country to their station. The Good Samaritans who desire to help on this cause, the women say, may send tholr gifts to Mrs. Clabaugh. The most primitive vehicles are In use In India, and," says Mrs. Bandy, who was recently In Omaha, "the only reason we arc asking for tho auto is that we may possibly be able to cover our field. H Is certainly not f gratify any personal pleasure; of that our friends may reBt assured. A field forty by sixty miles with 1.000,000 peoplo Is a field of wonder ful opportunities, but not to be served by ox-cart methods." Mrs. Bandy 1b a graduate of Parson's college. Fairfield. la., and with her hus band, has been in India some years. llntier with nlnnta. Charley Huber, former trainer for the Cincinnati Reds, will probably assume a like position with the Now York Giants.

Wilson of the Auburn Auto com pany returned Monday from a trip Oakland "THE CAR WITH A CONSCIENCE" This Year's Surprise TIIE OAKLAND is the ono big surprise of the your. No other single company, making motor cars, regardless of the selling price of Its product, attracted the attention which was given tho Oakland. It Is truly an Individual, distinctive lino of motor cars. jnd thoy made a "hit" everywhere. In tho groat selling cen ters of New York, Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, Los Angeles and San Francisco, the "Oakland" received a royal welcome. The popularity of the car In these cities Is astounding. More Oakland cars were sold in Detroit, the world's automobile manu facturing center, during the season of 1912, than any other medium priced machine offered on the market. How the Oakland is Priced It's ono thing to Bet n price and build a car to meet It. It's quite another thing to build a good car and sot a price afterwards. The first might prove a bad purchase; tho second is always a safe investment.. And there lo sure to be a great difference in the efficiency of tho two. Tho Oakland Motor Car Com pany has never built a car to meet a price. For this season a six has been added to tho lino. Standard improvements for merly used exclusively upon European cat h are now found In the Oakland. These In clude double drop frame, Increased size of motor exhaust, German silver trimmings, extra long springs and full electrical equipment, making this car second to nono regardless of price.
