The new law com pels manufacturers to pay a 3 per cent tax on the value of each finished cat The manufacturers have promptly raised the price of their product and this makes it necessary for the local dealer to raise the price or sacrifice part of .he profit. ForJ dealers throtiRhout the country have been notified of an advance in price as have local agents for other brands of auto mobiles. Members of congress have received numberless letters and telegrams form their constituents protesting that the new tax is unfair. One member of congress admitted that he had received over 600 letters and telegrams protes'ng against the tax. Aiany ot inese onjecnont nave come from farmers who claim that their cars are a necessity and not a luxury as congress classed them when the law was passed. The farmer now own 70 per cent of the automo biles in the country. There will be no tax on cara now in use. "Twentieth Century Maids" Start Week'at Gayety "He's a fine automobile."

LIBERTY LOAN DRIVE IN STATEJS STARTED Committeemen Appointed and Work Commenced With Ex- , - pectations of Securing Big Oversubscriptions. 1 Nctr has the state been organized for any action as it has for thv drive for the second Liberty loan bonds, In every county, in every town ship and in every precinc com mitteemen have been appointed, find the best j art of it is. that these com mitteemen have taken hold of the work with an eagerness that spells success! Without intensive organization in the last drive. Nebraska boosted its quota allotment more than $2,000,000 with the intensive organization ef fected through the state committee, of which T. C. Byrne is chairman, it would tot be surprising to see the present allotment of about $30,CJ0,00O doubled. Enthusiasm of the keenest sort pre vails ut all the meetings, no matter whether It be a meeting of state com mittees, state chairmen or local com mitteemen. The patriotism displayed at the meeting of the advisory com mittee of S00. held Friday, was of the type that la indicative of the general sentiment throughout tne state "Nebraska will be in the front ranks." saya State Chairman Byrne. "I have never seen such response to an appeal. The American people are awkening to the task they have be fore them. And it is no small task But they are responsive and onre the American people are aroused there is no limit for them. "In Nebraska, wheh I iudite typical. there is bnt one answer Nebraska's quota many fold. The county and dis trict chairmen are getting well or ganized for the big drive. In many instances, the organizations are com pleted and all is- ready for the big bell." "What about the districts that have not organized?" Mr. Byrne was asked Districts Hard at Work. "There are some districts that have been slow rn organizing," he replied. "But they are coming through In nice shape. The delay has been caused by local conditions which are rapidly shaping therfasejves. Especial! it Platte county. In coiumnus, west Point, Tatmage and otW placet. th organization la not as far --along tt in other districts, but it well started in these JTstricts and the bankers; business men and professional men are taking hold in manner ihich Insures their success.

' He hurried to the scene of the sound wave and discovered that an automobile owner to whom he had rented his garage had driven through the building. The new motorist had become con fused and did not check the machine before it struck the rear wall of the garage. T.ie rar was not damaged, but the garage had a broken-down appearance. "It was tne first time t'..e automo bile owner had been out with his new cir and 1 am not going to tell who he was," was the manner in which "Jimmy" demonstrated that he can keep a secret.
