FILE TEST CASE
REGISTRATION
OF ENLISTED MAN
i Election Commissioner Refuses
to Certify Soldier Is Quafi-.
fied Voter and Lawyer
Prepares to Act.
As a preliminary to a test case to
determine the right of enlisted men
to vote in the coming elections in Ne
braska, Private James J. Simon of the
41st regiment band stationed at Fort
Crook, filed his registration with Elec
tion Commissioner Moorhead Satur
day afternoon. Simon, who formerly
lived on the South Side, is 21 years
old and registered to cast his first
vote.
For the purposes of the test suit
the election commissioner refused 'to
certify that Simon was a qualified
voter. Arthur Mullen, attorney for
those wishing a decision on the ques
tion, will file a mandamus suit in dis
trict court to compel Moorhead to ac
cept the registration.
Involves Big Point.
Simon enlisted in the Forty-first
regiment of the regular army last
December "for the period of the
emergency," The constitution of the
state of Nebraska provides, in Ar
ticle 7, section 3, that very citizen
of the state in actual military service
of the United otates or, of the state
and not in the, regular army may
vote at such pwce and under such
regulations as provided by law."
There are no such provisions as yet
in the Nebraska law.
Article 7, section 4 of the constitu
tion of the state provides that no
soldier, sailor or marine in the army
and navy of the United States shall
be deemed a resident of this state
merely because he is stationed here.
The present action is brought to
determine whether former residents
of Omaha now in the regular army
mav vote in the coming elections.

Old Shipmates Hold Little
Reunion at Chance Meeting
Two Omaha business men and a
soldier of Fort Omaha held a little
informal reunion Friday noon, when
they chanced to learn they had all
served on the same battleship during
the Spanish-American war. Guy
Cramer and Sergeant C. G. Winter,
the latter stationed at Fort Omaha,
were taking luncheon together at the
Omaha Chamber of Commerce just to
gossip oven old days when they were
both aboard the United States ship
Newark in the international unpleas
antness of 1898. Along came F. J.
Burkhart, an electrical supply man of
Omaha, and a moment's conversation
revealed the fact that he; too, served
on the Newark. This is the first time
the three have been together in 20
years.

agers of this company. The Hotel
Fontenelle were headquarters. Trade
talks by sales managers and officers
of the firm were heard, and banquets
and theatrical entertaiiynents were
enjoyed.
"The yard managers look for a
good substantial business in the
spring," said C. E. Walrath. "The
farmers are getting good prices for
their products and the tendency will
be to build buildings to conserve the
products and the live stock. It is
possible that there will be less build
ing of homes, but we feel certain that
everything that will tend to conserve
grain and live stock will be built on
the farms."
Playful Barber Uses
Hot Grease for Lather
John Poliska and his. two broth
ers, Frank and Gabriel, 'pre prietors
of a barber shop at Fourth and
Leavenworth streets, admitted in
. police court Saturday morning that
it was rather dangerous to quarrel
while' shaving tustomers, but said
they must have their fun. While
John was shaving John Hoozra, one
of the brother playfully substituted
hot grease in place of lather, with
the result that a free-for-all fight
ensued. All were discharged with
a warning to desist from such pas
times. TP

Among the crops truck-marketed by Mr.
Faber were corn, oats, wheat, hay, potatoes,
etc. 1
He hauled 10,000 bushels of shelled corn
55 bushed, that is, 3080 pounds, to the
load.
That was more than 50 per cent overload.
Mr.' Faber' truck cost no more to keep
going than one team of horses.
Now most of his neighbors are planning to
buy Maxwell trucks.
What are you going to do? Continue using
slow, expensive horses? Or buy a low-priced,
economical and swift Maxwell Truck?

THIS GREAT CHALMERS ENGINE RUNS WITH
MIDSlMMER SOFTNESS ON A BITING COLD DAY
la years gone by we have driven very excellent cars over which
we have labored countless half hours to start on a cold day. And
these same cars sputtered for miles afterwards once we got the
engine going. . (
So you may imagine the sense of satisfaction that we have in this
current new Chalmers which not only starts with a vim on a cold
day, but runs with the softness of midsummer in a few seconds after
the starter button has sent the engine on its way.
To put your finger on the ' why " is to put it on the now famous
' hot spot" (an ingenious device that cracks up the gas into a'wonder
ful. fine vapor, then heats it) and a magnificent "ram's-horn "manifold
(which speeds the gas on its way to the cylinders for, instant action.)
