THE OMAHA SUNDAY TIRE: JUNE 10. 1917. 5 D ME EIGHT TO MAKE LIBERTYLOAN TODR To Preach Gospel of Liberty Bonds Along Lincoln High way from Omaha to North Platte. While Ruth Law, the famous avia iix, is busy dropping Liberty Loan messages from the skies, big Cole Eight touring cars, embarking on Liberty Loan demonstration tours, will be scouring the countryside, spreading the Liberty Loan gospel ilong the highways of America. The first of these tours to be held in this section of the country will start from Omaha tomorrow at noon. The point of departure will be the Douglas county court house. O. E. Eastman of the First Na tional bank, and secretary of the local Liberty bond committee, is co-operating with the men who have the Cole - Eight Liberty bond demonstration tour in hand. Special literature has been prepared and old and young alike will be given a chance to learn all there is to know about the big war loan. Leaving Omaha at noon, the Cole Eight Liberty bond car will direct its course along the Lincoln Highway to Fremont, Columbus. Norfolk, Schuyler, Grand Island, Kearney and North Platte, returning to Omaha Saturday, when a compilation of the results of the tour will be made. The following week a similar tour will be made out of Lincoln, and thereafter similar excursions will be held in the vicinity of Dea Moines and Sioux City. A delegation representing the local Liberty Loan committee and the com mercial bodies of the city will be on hand at noon tomorrow to start the Liberty bond tourists and the Cole Eight on their way. At each point ilong the route committees are being arranged to meet the tour and escort the bond boosters into town, where speeches will be made and Liberty sond literature distributed. Donate the Car. The Cole Motor Car company, who have donated the car for the demon stration tour, recently began a co operation campaign to aid the .treas ury department in its work of dis posing of the bonds, by urging through extensive advertising other manufacturers and dealers to lend their eifons to the government for the time being. To stimulate the sale of the bonds the Cole company agreed to pay a premium to all who would buy motor cars with Liberty loan bonds. Instead of accepting the bonds it their fate value the Cole company igreed to accept them at $102. As a result of this action scores of manufacturers and dealers in all sec tions of the country began similar movements and the results have been rery gratifying. The purpose of the Cole Eight lemon strat ion tour will be to con centrate local interest in the sale of Ihe bonds. In each community the Cole Eight will give demonstrations on the test hills and roads. Accom panying the car will be members of Ihe sales organization of the De Brown Auto Sales company of Omaha, distributors of the Cole Eight in the North Platte'section, who have volunteered their services to assist the bond iale. H. R. Hyman of the Martin V. Kelley company of Toledo, 0., who has been placed in chargeof the Liberty bond demonstration tours, will also be with the party, together with a representative of The Omaha Bee. Importance of Looking After Condition of Battery When you're tuning up your car for Jlie coming season, don't forget your attery.

The spot in a battery where weak ness is most likely to develop is in the wooden separators. Any weakness in this insulation means short iircuit and a short circuited battery, to all in tents and purposes is- a dead battery. Elmer Rosengreu of the Nebraska Storage Battery company advises all Willard users to have the insulation in the battery renewed in the spring if needed. This practically gives the battery a new lease of life and as far as the insulation is concerned insures the car owner against battery troubles for the coming season. Government Aviation Field Laid Out in Southern Michigan Within sixty days there will be a -new citv m southern. Michigan. It wi he enuinned with rail, water lie it ana power facilities. Mechanics will also swarm about it hangars and over the parking places, rrom its water tront on Lake St. Clair military air craft will soar out over the bay to drop bombs on floating targets. The scene ot this animation will be the drill and training field of the American rljmg corps, the site known as Joy Aviation Field, about three miles east of Mt. Clemens and twenty minutes by leisurely airplane flight from Detroit. Work is under way on the extension of the Grand Trunk road from Mt. Clemens to the held. Roads :.rc being constructed ground cleared for the building o nangars and barracks, stations pro vided for the receiving of supplies, water and sewage svsteins being laid. "As a spectacle, the training camp and the activities of the soldierly in structors and pupils will be the great est snow we ever have staged, said Henry B. Joy, who developed the field at an expense of $200,000 and for whom it was aamed. The government formally took over Joy field on May 23. The following day Albert Hahn was engaged on plans for the grouping of the build ings and laying out. of the aviation city. Another twelve hours and the construction gangs were at work on grading and excavation. i Ralph Dixey, Idaho Indian, Rides High-Class Auto Ralph Dixey, chief of the Backfoot Indian tribe, is one of the most re cent purchasers of a Willys-Knight Eight, asserts I.

TJie Overland dealer who made the sale states that the chief is a great booster tor the Willys-Knight line. His first automobile was an Overland Model cu, which he purchased several years ago.

Automobile Makers Not in Love With Kaiser's Plans Automobile manufacturers with large export business have developed a gruage against tne (jerman subma rine, asserts Carl Chanestrom. dis tributor for the Allen Motor com pany, frostona. O. "The reason for this prejudice," says uiangstrom, is that automobiles directed to Australian and New Zea land ports must now make a trip across the continent in order to avoid danger of contact with the ikaiser's pets. "Until recently most New Zealand and Australian consignments went to New York and from there down the east coast and through the Panama canal, but when his imperial German majesty declared unrestricted subma rine warfare the Atlantic ocean lost some of its popularity with the Allen company, "The more trustworthy waters of the Pacific now carry the Allen cars Lee Standard Tires Giva more tire comfort and mileage than m before claimed for any standard make of tirea.

War has stimulated rather than checked export sales, according to Mr. Watson, export manager of the Allen Motor company. Although taking an active part in the great struggle, Aus tralia is evidently in fine financial con dition. There is also a heavy demand for Allen cars in South America.

This raises the price from $1,3'J5 to $1,55. It is ef fective July 1. Explanatory of the price advance. Salesiiianager Dunlap has written the Omaha oltice as fol lows: "First, that the Chandler car sub sequent to July 1 will be identically the same car as that which we arc now building. "Second, that the Chandler car at $1,5U5 v.-iH still be under-priced. This is not advertising 'talk' or sales 'talk.' It is a fact which anybody can prove. It can be proven by any conceivable comparison of the Chandler car with other makes. "We had a wire from one of our dealers this morning asking for in formation as to what other cars were going to do in the matter of advanc ing prices. -We don't know what other cars are going to do. We do know that other cars made large ad vances in price months before it be came necessary for us to do so. We Hon'! know whether it was necessary for thefce other cars to make such advances at that time. If their costs of production did make it necessary then it certainly seems reasonable to believe that under present trade con ditions they may have to still fur ther advance. Business Lull Over.
