The banker and investor, whose committee meetings and directors' conferences have increased in number with the multiplicity of business con cerns since the war began, has shown a decided partiality for the Packard. No less than 325 of these 1,500 third series Twin Sixes have gone. to these men of affairs. Fifty of them have been sold to captains of transporta tion, directing railroad and steamship lines. Coal and lumber dealers are well represented in the list, each class hav ing bought 60 to 65 of the number studied. -Two hundred and seventy four merchants are in. this particular list of Packard owners, 37 real estate men, 14 publishers, 116 doctors, law yers, clerics and artists, 27 public offi cers, 23 hotel and apartment owner managers, 21 chemists and 13 engi neers.

A Clear, Well Defined Success The Eight With Eighty Less Parts The Apperson "eight" with eighty less parts made an instant appeal to motorists all over the country. Omaha was especially warm in its reception of the new model. Economy The new, compact, simplified Apperson Eight motor cuts tire costs below the already extra ordinary moderate Apperson rate. For the elimination of eighty parts gives greater smoothness of action. Vibration is reduced. The pick-up is rapid but never jerky. Un even power ruins tires. Smooth, gradual ac celeration saves them. Apperson owners report astonishing mileage. A Chicago owner reports 12,000 miles from one casing and over 19,000 miles from three others. 6,000, 8,000 and 10,000 miles per tire are common records. And there are scores running as high as 15,000. ' The Apperson is notable not only for tire economy, but for fuel saving. The Apperson is rarely in the repair shop. Though a big car the Apperson costs less to operate than many smaller cars. The 130 inch wheelbase with its long, fine lines, the deep cushions, the smooth motion, are not extravagances. The new eight motor with eighty less parts is just one of many proofs of Apperson ' originality. APPERSON MOTOR COMPANY 2060-62 Farnam St. J. H. DeJONG, Mgr. Omaha. Phone Doug. 3811.

RED STAR TO PROVIDE CARE ALL ANIMALS IN WAR SERVICE WILL RECEIVE ATTENTION AND TREATMENT FROM EXPERTS FOR AMERICAN WAR HORSES America must have a helper in the care of army animals, just as Britain and France, not to duplicate the work of the government, but to supplement and fill in the gaps. For this purpose the American Red Star Animal Relief was founded by Dr. William O. Still man of Albany, N.Y., president of the American Humane association, at the suggestion of Secretary of War Ba ker. During the bustling period of preparation the Red Star nas bridged the gap on many occasions by furnish ing emergency supplies at the request of United States army camp officers. The Red Star has placed its services at the disposal of the War depart ment. At the present time the Red Star is accumulating thousands of bandages and other supplies, so that no situation may ever find the Amer ican forces without the means to af ford relief. The Red Star niotto is "Help the Horse to Help United States." When the bulk of the American horses goes to France during the pres ent year, the American Red Star Ani mal Relief should be prepared to go with it, with necessary supplies of I'very description, so that it may dc the same splendid work for American trmy horses that is being done by imilar organizations for the British and Italian armies. To accomplish this, liberal donations are required at once. A sum of $250,000 should be raised to meet present needs; at least $2,000,000 will be required to do the work.
