Last year nearly 3,000 dealers came in, and from present in dications, there will be nearer 4,000 this year.

Plans are being made for dealers' conferences, lectures by factory ex perts, get-together dinners, etc., which will practically fill up show week and bring the dealers in closer touch with car dealers and factory representatives. Manager Powell reports that he Is receiving a flood of inquiries from out in the state and from present indica tions we will have the biggest crowd in from territory surrounding Omaha that has ever attended an Omaha show. This is accounted for by the fact that the annual Omaha automo bile show is not for the benefit of the Omaha distributor alone, but benefits every dealer doing business in this territory.

Westward the Star of , Efficiency Takes Its Way "That the truck is coming to its own in Nebraska during the coyiing year is evidenced on all sides," asserts If. II. Cannon of the Iowa Motor Truck company. "As a relief far the railroad con gestion in the east the truck lias proven to be a most effective remedy. Motor magazines are teeming with accomplishments of the motor truck as savior of the day in transportation matters.'' "Since the trend of public opinion has changed and the economists of the country no longer point an ac cusing finger at the passenger car, they arc coming to the realization that the. automobile as well as the truck is well nigh indispensable to present day efficiency." "Farmers in this section are begin ning to grasp the importance of time to their endeavors and this is the rock which will form tht foundation for truck sates. Within the next five years I would venture the opinion that horse drawn vehicles will be as rare on country roads, as ,in the city. Xne will have to go to the "zoo" to see a horse." SPENDING GIVING is defined in these four words by W. W. Head, Vicc-Pres. Omaha National Bank. ' and we believe thrift can be associated with the purchase of a motor car.

Propaganda in Europe In casting about for an efficient American propaganda tor torcign countries President Wilson came to inspect a series of Ford, Education Weeklies, with the result that the Ford Motor company has been asked to supply them in quantities to Europe translated into the language of the re spective coyntries. An immediate response has placed nearly 300,000 feet of Ford educational films in Russia, France, Italy and Spain, in each instance accompanied by a representative of the govern ment. In addition to this Mr. Ford has produced a six-reel film entitled 'The Making of a Man-of-Warsman," taken at one of our largest naval training stations and showing the middies in every phase of their daily life until they have completed their training. This film was produced wit4 the idea of silencing rumors to the effect that our naval recruits were not receiving proper attention at the hands of the government. A reel of this film is being shown each Monday at the Sun, Tuesdays at the Orpheum, South Side, and Wednesdays at the Grand, Six teenth and Locust streets.

Rickenbacher In structing Birdmen in Egypt and Caleb Bragg Holding Flying Trophy. With Lieutenant Eddie Richert bacher instructing a schob! of army birdmen in Egypt and Caleb Bragg the proud possessor of the Curtiss marine flying trophy for making the record hydroaeroplane flight of the year, the prediction that American automobile drivers would be important .actors in the development of Uncle Sam's fighting aircraft, made prior to America's entrance into the war, has" been verified, according to F. E. Miller of the T. G. Northwall com pany, local distributor jf National Highway sixes and twalves. Bragg, who was awarded the Curtiss trophy and $1000 in cash during the week of the 1918 New York auto mobile show, captured the hydro aeroplane honors of 1917 in October when he flew from Mineola to Troy in the interest of the Liberty Loan campaign. He has contributed his nrize money for the purchase of com forts for our soldiers and sailors. "Of the many famous race drivers gr --.-,-.,4. . r l--: ggg-u.-j- . , - . .-. ., .. ItW'''" nyji I II. Ill II I Ml IIMIJJI wj V m ,71 V 41 who have won fame at the wheels of National cars, there never was one as fearless as Bragg," said Mr. Miller in commenting on the young millionaire sportsman's recent achievement in the clouds. "Although slight of build and with a voice as soft as a woman's, he was as daring as they come in the heat of competition on road racing courses and speedway. His com posure was wonderful. He seemed to be without nerves. "It was early in his racing career, long before he captured international honors by winning the Grand Prize at Milwaukee in 1912, that Bragg was identified 'with the National racing team. He was the find of William C. PoertneK the National distributor at New York, who won Caleb over to an American car. Bragg was partial to foreign mounts, but the speed and power of the four-cylindir National induced him to use it in eastern hill climbs. ' "Although Bragg drove a National at a time when the blue cars from Indianapolis were supreme on speed way and road, the special racing ma chine of his day would be forced to bow before the stock National of 1018, so much superior is the 12-cylinner model of today over the race-winning four of six or more years ago: The new Nationalpeedster will hit 75 miles an hour oh a country road. This, is only a trifle under the average of 78.72 miles per hour at which Joe Dawson captured the Indianapolis in ternational sweepstakes of -1912, run on a specially constructed course, paved with brick and banked at turns."
