One of Oldsmobile New Models Next to the state fair the first week in September, visitors to the city of Lincoln, will find Capital teach the most attractive place to go for amusement With the big lake for boating, the salt nool for bathine. the amusement attractions all the week, the man, Ionian or child who does nof visit Capital beach, will lose one of the very best attractions of fair week. Capital beach started out this sea son under a new management and has been getting business far beyond all previous records. The present war situation has not seemed to make any difference. People must have recreation and pleasure and under the management of Mr. C. K. Elrod, who has had experience with amuse ment resorts in the east, the beach has been the popular place with Lin coln people. Never before have such attractions been brought to Lincoln, with the result that the people have appreciated the efforts of the man agement and have responded liber ally. Look for Huge Crowds. Fair week will far outdo all previ . ous efforts. The attractions will be ."rand and the fireworks stupendous. Xo individual visting Lincoln should fail to take a plunge in the salt lake. The, water in this lake is pumped from the salt beds which underlay the resort and a continual flow into the lake and also out of it keeps the water pure and healthful. Thousands of people travel thou sands of miles to bathe in the salt waters of the ocean, but that is not necessary, for right here in the cen ter of the United States stands a lake the equal to the ocean in its silt and health-giving qualities. Capital beach is the watering place for all Nebraska where all can enjoy themselves without any thought of germs of any kind. The water for drinking purposes comes direct from the cool and refreshing lithia springs while the '"Old Pump in the picnic grounds pours out a constant stream of sulpho saline mineral water, many times pronounced by leading chem ists as being; the purest water in the Missouri or Mississippi valleys. ' Abraham Lincoln Statue j Show Place of City,, ' The statue of Abraham Lincoln is one of the most interesting pieces in Lincoln. Standing as it does at the west entrance of the Capitol , grounds, this magnificent piece of bronze statuary greets those who have business at the state house, and stands as an appropriate statue in the heart of the western citythat bears the name of the great emanci pator. , .... Daniel Chester French molded the statue for the city of Lincoln after an appropriatioa had been provided for the purpose. It was unveiled in 1912, and now stands backed by a great wall of masonry on which is carved in bold letters the entire Get tysburg address, which has thrilled the millions since the days of the civil war. For beauty ot body line and gen eral appearance of refinement, as well as capability for performance, inves tigate the Oldsmobile. This distinc tive and thoroughly efficient car will be on exhibition in four models, in Auto hall at the Nebraska state fair. Mr. Charles A. Tucker, president of the Nebraska Oldsmobile company, distributors for Nebraska and south western Iowa, will be in charge. The eight-cylinder Oldsmobile, series 45, is offered in four models Club roadster, Standard roadster five-passenger touring car and seven passenger touring car. The Standard roadster is built to meet the require ments of business and professional men; the Club roadster, while refined in appearance, is built along lines that particularly suggests sport and the great outdoors. The touring mod els are noted for their comfort, as well as their dignified beauty. To give an idea of the responsive ness of the eight-cylinder mechan ism, nothing can be better than the following paragraphs from the Olds mobile booklet: "Oldsmobile owners know nothing Faoir at uncoil September 2d to 8th For this occasion the ROCK ISLAND offers the following excellent tram service: Regular Sevice LEAVE OMAHA 8:30 1:30 3:45 11:16 a. m. p. m. p m. - P.

S. McNALLY, D. P. A. of 'drive-strain.'- The almost sell acting steering mechanism and the freedom from gear-shifting make Oldsmobile driving instinctive as natural as walking. " "A narrow road! A lumberina farm wagon barring rapid advance! The man at the wheel of the Olds mobile, with a mere change of the throttle, drops his car speed gently down to two miles an hour or less. ' "A chance to pass if taken quickly! He 'steps on her. The response is instaneous. With the marvelous 'pick up' of the eight-cylinder motor, the Oldsmobile fairly leaps into action, like a thoroughbred under the whip. "This flexibility in speed range, without necessity for constant gear shifting, has earned for the Oldsmo bile a pre-eminence as a car for wo men to drive. t was a uoman who piloted au Oldsmobile tight from' San Francisco to Xew York in eleven days; beating the cross-continental record for women by more than a month. And it il a matter of motor car history - that Miss Artnanda Preuss, who performed tliis feat, hung up her mark after only six weeks' experience as an Oldsmobile driver." A Htgnlmc Kler. "The fc&Iser ts a queer customer." ald Jacob Schiff, Xew Torlc banker and philan thropist, durluc a Cooper Union debate. The more the German people ask of him the less he gives them. The way the kaiser has treated the German people about this business of universal suffrage reminds me of the Blue Mill. "The hands of the Blue Mill, you know, waited on the owner and told him they wanted shorter hours. Very good said the owner. 'Tour wish shall be granted, men. We'll begin with shorter dinner boors." " Washington Star.
