water supply and proper police and
fire protection, all cost much more
money than cities were accustomed to
spend under the old conditions.
When the city undertakes also to
look after the proper recreations of
its people and the oversight of chil
dren in vacation periods, supports
hoards and experts to see to proper
housing and proper laying out an

City finds its taxes greatly increased
figuring that land owners alone will
find their taxes increased the coming
year about $75,000,000.
European Eulers Now at War 0:
I he greatest crowd of retail mer
chants ever seen at one time in
maha is expected for Merchants'
!"a!l Market week which opens tomor
row. Responses to invitations sent
out by manufacturers and jobbers
l.ave been exceptionally large. One
lig wholesale house has promises
trom no less than 150 customers to
attend the gathering; another firm
has more than 100 acceptances and it
is confidently expected that the total
attendance during the week will be
at least 2,000. Last spring's market
week holds the record thus far, when
.ihout 1,250 guests registered at the
Commercial club.
No matter how large the crowd the
ieneVal committee in charge of the
festivities is ready to care for all
jqmers. And a great time is in store
for visitors.
Plenty of Entertainment.
Believing that "all work and no
play makes Jack a dull boy," the
committee lias arranged a series of
entertainments which will outclass any
other similar attempts made in the
past.
For one thing, a big list of gifts has
been posted, among which is a Ford
touring car, $500 worth of Liberty
bonds, free railroad transportation
to California and return, and to the
Yellowstone park and return, and
about $500 worth of other gifts which
will be distributed during an "ath
letic contest" in which stunts are
more humorous than strenuous.
Tomorrow evening the men will be
taken to the Ak-Sar-Ben den for a
few hours of torture and entertain
ment; the women go to the Strand
theater.
Tuesday evening the guests will go
to the Field club for a buffet supper
and dance.
- Athletic Contests.
Wednesday evening will be devoted
to the "athletic contest" and gift dis
tribution at Happy Hollow club. A
buffet supper and a dance will also be
given here.
Thursday evening is the big barbe
cue at Krug park, where a whole beef,
a couple of sheep and a pig or two will
be roasted in Doc Frye's most ap
proved style, and served to the hun
gry cjowd, together with plenty of
buns,' roastecksweet corn, watermel
ons, coffee ana other good things for
the inner man.
The principal gift distribution will
occur at this time, when the automo
bile, Liberty bonds and railroad tick
ets will be given away.
The manner of the awards is to be
left to a committee of the retailers
themselves, who shall say what plan
is to be followed. This is to insure
absolute fairness to all concerned.
After the gift distribution an open
air "movie" jwill be put on, and after
' that the guests may dance if they
wish.
Of course, the serious side of the
market week is the buying of fall
stocks for retail stores. The Omaha
market is in splendid shape to take
care of visitors, and notwithstanding
the shortage in merchandise, is well
prepared to make immediate delivery
of almost every imaginably article
sold in a retail store. ' " . .V -
If the weather man will only be
have for the next four days Omaha
will certainly be the fun center of
the United States.

Increased Taxes Source
Of Concern to Omaha Men
The rumble of coming increased
taxation and the protests that natur
ally will follow from property own
ers, which can now be heard in Oma
ha, starts the query, "Is Omaha any
worse off than other cities as to tax
situation?"
The fact is that every city that is
seeking to keep to the front as an
up-to-date city with proper sanitary
and hygienic conditions, up-to-date
schools, etc., favors the increase of

MANY light aixea have advanced in price.
Some cars, formerly in th $1200 class,
now cost as much as a high-powered Haynes.
"America's Creates Light Six," the Haynes,
may still be had at the old prices. Materials
contracted for in 1916 are not as yet fully con
sumed. Haynes foresight is your gain.
But do not delay. No one knows what prices
will be when new contracts are made. Only
best qualities of materials are used in Haynes
cars. And such grades are in greatest demand
to fill government orders.
So a Haynes now, at old prices is a wonder
ful investment Even at .30 more it would
be a splendid buy. But you are not asked to
pay an advance.

And, of course, you want a
"Six."
No car of less cylinders can
give such luxury, such flexibil
ity, such smoothness, such si
lent power-flow.
Not only is Saxon "Six" the
lowest-priced "six" in the mo
tor car market, but it is also the
greatest value among all cars
both "fours" and "sixes"
priced between $800 and
$1150.
It is a big car, an able car, an
alert, active car.
It has a quick, smooth "pick
up." It is vigorously flexible.
It rides the road closely at all
speeds. You feel safe and se
cure and you are, even when
. the speedometer needle flashes
up to the 50-mile-an-hour
mark. -
Big, strong, supple springs
muffle road shocks in their re
silience. You enjoy all the rid
ing comfort that only great size
and heavy weight are popular
ly supposed to give.
Yet Saxon "Si is light. So it
is sparing of oil and gas and
easy on tires.
A recent road test gives proof
of its exceptional fuel econ
omy. 234 dealers each driving 300
miles in one day, with stock
model cars, set a grand average
of 25.9 miles per gallon of gas
for the 70,000 mles of travel.
And the oil average was 175
miles per quart.
Furthermore, not a single in
stance of mechanical trouble
occurred throughout the run.
Now as never before is bargain
time in automobile buying.
Prices of all motor cars are to
day at the lowest point for a
long time to come.
Undoubtedly they will rise
soon. Place your order for Sax
