NAVY OFFICE BANKS HIGH Headquarters of the Fourth Ne braska National Guard are being moved back to Omaha, after being temporarily at Lincoln. Colonel Bachr and Captain and Adjutant Rus land were there for over two weeks, l j be in close touch with Adjutant General Hall anil Governor Neville and to hasten the shipment of equip ment. Federal mustering of the Fourth regiment of the guard is now fully under way, with three regular army officers in charge. Enlistments continue to keep re cruiting officers busy, especially in the army and navy.

I p. m. indicated that the day would be another big one for the stations. I Army recruiting here is so great that this district probably will Hold Its place as fourth best army recruit ing district in the country, Captain McKinley believes. Navy Office to Front. The Omaha district for navy re truiting jumped from fortieth to twenty-fifth rank in the United States y its record tor the week netore last xhich is the lates't tabulated and re torted by navy headquarters. This rating is based upon district popula tion, number of applicants, number of recruits accepted and number ot re uniting officers on duty. On the basis of actual enlistments tlone Lieutenant Waddcll says the Omaha district ranked seventeenth at ast reports, and probably has climbed ip several notches since then, as tnc tig rush came only week ago and as not been officially tabulated. Naval recruiting will be further stimulated by the latest orders, which waive time limits, and hastening pro motions of navy men to petty officer ranks, thereby making opportunities more attr.--tive in the service. The new rule will be especially attractive to ex-service men, whom Lieutenant VVaddell now expects to re-enlist in increased numbers. Attractive prospects are also of fered women as nurses and men as pharmacists and hospital corps men in the naval reserve, according tonew information just received by" Dr. Cochran, examining surgeon of the navy station.

Many of the railroad iften are of the opinion that beiore many months, if the war with Germany continues, the federal government will take over some of the leading lines for, the transportation of troops, supplies and munitions. Before that time comes, however, the opinion it general that the roads tinder receivership will be commandeered. They point to the fact that the Rock Island, being one of the best in the east and west lines and having strong continental con nections, it will be about the lirsi of the roads to be put into government service and operated by some of the federal departments. Comes to Wedding, Then Joins the Marine Corps Edwin Gould, fomcrly of Omaha and lately of Persia, la., joined the marine corps in Omaha on the day he came here to attend the wedding of his, sister, Miss Ruth Gould, to Warreti Howard.

Man Picking Up Coal is Shot by the Watchman Jack Johnson, one-legged negro, of 3806 Camden avenue was shot by Marcus Gleasuian, 1125 Chicago street, a watchman for the People's Coal company. The bullet, which was of .32 caliber, entered Johnson's leg near the groin. Glcasman, who had a cut in his forehead, which he said was caused by Johnson's good aim with a lump of coal, is held for in vestigation. Johnson, who was convicted two weeks ago of stealing a ton of coal from the Illinois Central railroad, was in the act of gathering more fuel when the shooting occurred, Gleas man says. The watchman further says that when he accosted Johnson and told him to get away from the coal cars the negro's response was to hurl accurately the missile which split Gleasman's forehead directly between the eves.

Yet no car above $1100 has so large an output. More men, we fear, will be disappointed this year. The Super-Six is better known. It holds all worth-while records. Over 28,000 owners are urging friends to get it. And all Motordom must now concede its supremacy. Look it up now if you think you want the greatest car that's built. The Economy of It Men buy the Super-Six because of en durance. Its speed, its power, its hill climbing ability are all interesting factors. But the greatest of all is eonomy. This invention patented by Hudson added 80 per cent to motor efficiency. It nearly doubled a motor's endurance. All by nearly ending friction, the cause of mo tor wear. This year we add a gasoline saver in the form of radiator shutters. We add a mo tormeter. We use a patent pneumatic carburetor, which adjusts itself to every en gine speed. And we put an engine primer at the driver's hand. Town Car (All Pricei GUY L. "SERVICE FIRST" Open Evenings Until Nine. Farnam St, Omaha. PHOTOPI.ATS.

You will want its economy its super endurance. It may cost less, in the long run, than a car at half the price. Remember that this motor is patented. No one else has it. It has won every record that counts. In -the great endurance test it broke all rec ords by 52 per cent. The whole car, as now built, is worthy of this motor.
