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.

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

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, chief of the Backfoot
Indian tribe, is one of the most re
cent purchasers of a Willys-Knight
Eight, asserts I. P. Jamfson. branch
manager, of the Willys-Overland com
pany.
The chief is one of the first Willys
Knight Eight owners in Idaho. 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. Last year he used a Willys-
ivnignt four.
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,

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

for Allen cars in South America.

The entire city took part in the

a parade three miles long.- Every fra

its history, the Knights Templar took
part in a public parade, wearing full

$1,395 to $1,595 on
All Models.
An advance in price of $200 has
been made on all Chandler models,
according to information received by
R. K. McN'cmar, Omaha dealer, from
the Cleveland offices. 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.

hut that lull is disappearing' already.
The public is waking up. The pub
lic is coming to realize as John Wan
amaker said in his business editorial
in New York newspapers a few days
ago, and a copy of which I think
we sent you, that "the unloosing of
billions of dollars will unloose a flow
of prosperity absolutely necessary to
sustain the world's burden. Govern

Hires. Individuals must not lag be

money will create $420,000,000 of
new wealth. The income tax we pay
wilhtiot be a tax on prosperity, but
a spur to prosperity. Every dollar
the' individual pays out will come back
to him with interest in the general
prosperity of the people."
