100,000 Nebraskans liearn
First Lessons In Thrift
As Bond Coupons Arrive
. . " ; : ' . . '
Great Family of "Bloated Bond-Holders" it Created
. Through Investment in Uncle Sam's Interest-? .
1 Drawing Liberty Loan Securities.
"'"'''"rriniiri-arilr '
More than 100,000 Nebraskans, in many instances whole
families, have joined that class, heretofore confined by popular
- imagination to, Wall street, whose privilege it is to clip coupons
f and be designated by the title, "bloated bond holders.'
- - BEST PAYMASTER. O
-' Uncle Sam, the best uncleon earth
and the best paymaster, has distrib-
:d to Nebraska holders oLsecond
Liberty loan bonds the semi-annua
interest earnings on the bonds, $2 for
each T100 bond.
. .Omahjuinvestors hold $5,319,400 of
the issue and they received coupons
calling for the payment of $106,388 in
terest The quota of the state was
$29,640,0OQ. and the interest that has
been 1 paid out to Nebraska bond
owners of this issue was $592,800.
SAME AS CASH.
Men are now Retting, acquainted
witn the workings of compound in
terest who. two years ago did not
know there were such, things as
"simple, compound" or "accrued" in
terest The coupons they received are
the same as cash and will be accepted
at any bank, postoffice or war savings
stamp station at face value.
' Payment of this interest has taught
, many persons their tirst lessons of the
earning power of money, and their
primary lesson in thrift. In days of
old, the peasantry of France had the
reputation of being the most thrifty
on earth ana it was the exception "to
the rule where a French oeasant was
not the possessor of "baby" bonds of
tne republic or other, countries. It
was the source of French thtift and
the prosperity of the peasant class.
Thrift Lesson is Learned. -
: The United States, with its millions
M investors in baby bonds, and Ne
braska with an army of over 100,000
or wese investors will soon put the
rrencn peasantry m the "also ran"
'class. when it comes to a comparison
. of investment and thrift.' ,
War has taught 1.000 men in Omaha
; and Nebraska to figure out interest
where only 10 were concerned in the
intricacies of the thing before. They
all enjoy the experience of the rich
boy down in New1 York, who could
. sit in his easy chair and clip bonds.
Many are pbtting their interest di.
rectly back into war savings stamps,
' thus compounding the interest
How New Plan Works.
Here is the way it works out at
maturity, taking the holder of a $100
bond as an example. ' -Maximum
life of bond 25 years. i
MtrUy, November 15, 1942.
Bond redeemed at nar Iim tiu
Simple interest for 25 years. $100.
Total return, to "holder in 25 years,
$200. -
' 'The holder of, the bond can make
MJie interest, in return draw interest.
War savings stamps now cost $4.16,
and will be worth $5 in 1923. Invest
the interest in the war savings stamps
and it comes out like this: -
Maximum life of bond 25 years.'

- Total return to holder in 25 years.
$269.16.
Gain, if interest is reinvested and
compounded, $69.16.
The receiver of interest on a bond
who compounds his interesfby buying
war savings stamps, by 1923. when
the war stamps, or "baby bonds" will
be paid, will have gained a big stride
toward prosperity and eventual inde
pendence, over the interest receiver
who has not saved and compounded
, the interest.

Axle Strain.
The most severe strain that can
be placed on rear axle or driving gear
is to try to get out of a mud hole
by backing up a little and then plung
ing forward on low gear.
Carburetor Fire
Should a carbureter catch vfire by
reason of. a backfire, it can generally
be extinguished by turning off th
gasoline and racing the engine. Th
engine will soon suck it out and there
is very little danger.
Sticking Bushings.
Binding of the bushings that sur
round the push rods, frequently
causes trouble. This may be caused
by the oil becoming gummy or by
valve grinding grit that has gotten
down into the interior. If the
aperture is closed with a cloth be
fore the .valves are ground this lat
ter trouble will be obviated.
- Clutch Repair. ,
In cases where sliooaee has de
vetoped in a cone clutch, a tern
orary repair may be managed by
orcing several thin wooden wedges
under the facing. Even matches have
been , used Jn this connection. In
similar case, J a slipping brake band
may be temporarily, cured by driving
nails between the lining and the band.
'Use of Ammonia.
. - V
i here used to be a common nrac-
nce oi trying . to briehten uo the
finish of the hood by the use on it of
a solution of ammonia. This is about
the . worst thing that could be done
as ammonia eventually destroys the
nnisn, unfortunately the ammonia
grves a little temporary brilliance to
the finish, but in the long run it
ruins it. in tact car manufactures
recommend that no car be kept in
stable or barn, as the ammonia
from the manure gradually destroys

preventing this difficulty is to enlarge
the slot across the head of the bolt
cutting the ends pretty deep by the
aid of a file and theiy bending over
a short length ot copper wire, ot the
size to fit in the slot. In this way aJ
couple of ridges are formed on either
side of the head, which effectively
prevent its turning so long as a rea
sonable amount of pressure is brought
to bear upon it.
Body Polish.'
The car owner who would rather
roduce all his own "ingredients" at
ome. may be glad to know that an
excellent body polish may be made
fronl the following: One pint of tur
pentine, one pint of wood alcohol, one
quart of distilled water and one quart
of paraffine toil. The alcohol and tur
pentine should be mixed, after which
the water and paramne on should oe
added. The best way of mixing the
latter two is to place them in a bottle
and shake them briskly. The solution
should be applied with the soft side
of a canton flannel cloth and polished
with a dry cloth.
, Painting onBrass.
Unless care is taken to have the
surface absolutely clean, considerable
difficulty is encountered in attempt
ing to paint over polished brass." To
insure, a satisfactory job. the brass
should first be scoured with a mixture
thing to do when putting in a tube is
to give the bridge nut at the base of
the valve stem above the metal plate,
a tightening twist with a pair of
pliers. When, the tube is inside the
casing, jar the tire a few times to
seat it firmly. After the tire is mount
ed and fully inflate, fasten securely
the rim nut, which works around the
valve stem above the , rim. Care
in fitting the tube will save many a
pinch and flat later on.
- When Draining.
" When draining the water system of
the car, it.is well to make certain that
no water remains in the pipes and
jackets, by rocking the front of the
car. -This.. .will throw the water out
of bends and pockets. The majority
of the thermosyphon cooling systems
drain off easy enough, but in the
pump system it is necessary to use
care. It is a good plan in draining
off the water to let it run into fome
receptacle, a large can or pail, so that
it can be used again. The reason' is
that in all water there is a certain pro
portion oT forfign matter that forms
deposits ori the cylinder jackets 'and
radiator. In the water already used
this deposit may be supposed already
to have been made, whereas with,
fresh water a ' new deposit will be
precipitated. By using the same wa
ter over , and over again this furry
ing up of the water spaces may be
minimized.
To Clean Brass Castings.
Brass castings may be cleaned in
an instant by dipping them into a so
lution of three parts of sulphuric acid
and three parts nitric acid, to which
after they have been mixed, there has
been added one quart of common salt,
the whole beintr stirred until the salt :
has dissolved. If this mixture il

All the Former Excellence
Plus Many Refinements
THIS NEW REO LIGHT FOUR la, in all mechanical
essentials, the tame as its famous predecessor Reo tba
Fifth, 'The Incomparable Four."
THAT IS TO SAY, those principles of design and of con
struction which made that great Reo famous the world
over for dependability and low upkeep, have all been
retained.
WHEN YOU CONSIDER that that Reo Four remained
. standard in practically the tame form for eight seasons
(longer than any other automobile ever built save one);
IT MUST HAVE BEEN wonderfully right at every point;
.must have been. For during those years an host of rivals ,
and imitators came and went .'
AND ALWAYS REO maintained its supremacy.
SO WE FEEL that the beat possible recommend for this
latest Reo this New Light Four Is to say that all those
principles of design and that same quality have been
retained.
REFINEMENTS have been made at many points how
' ever.
WE PREFER THE TERM "refinements" rather than
Improvements. For, truth to tell, no owner of a Reo
Four could suggest an improvement in that great car.
REO ENGINEERS, at the same time the most ezperi-
enced and the most progressive, are always seeking
opportunities to refine details of Reos.
AND THEY FOUND WAYS to make parts of this chassis,
always the most accessible ever built, still more accessible.
ALSO MORE POWER has been developed in the same
motor by refinements of valve mechanism; better balance
' of reciprocating parts.
THE OILING SYSTEM has not been Improved oo oat
trying to improve on what was already perfection.
ODDLY ENOUGH when we begin to talk about this New
Reo Light Four, we feel an inclination to emphasize
' rather those features in which no changes have been
made, than those where they have I ,
SUCH WAS THE QUALITY auch the dependability
such the low upkeep such the satisfaction of 100,000
owners, that a better could be made only by refining
details of the original model .
AND THIS ONE IS BETTER only because It is the latest,
the most refined edition of that Reo Four.
WE WILL BE PLEASED to show and explain to you tba
points wherein these refinements have been effected
and tell you the reason for each.
IN A WORD, for your convenience in every case. Foe
still greater accessibility. For still longer life. And for
still lower cost of upkeep.
ASK US about these things. ,
WHEN YOU SEE THIS REO you will say the body fines,
the finish, the upholstering are the finest Reo has ever
turned out.
A LUXURIOUS EQUIPAGE; as handsome in appearance
as it is excellent mechanically; yet at a price leas than '
you had planned to pay for such a car.
DEMAND SEEMS unlimited. At present, almost hope
, kssly in excess of factory output.
SO ONLY THOSE who decide now and order at once can
nope to obtain a Reo Light Four for spring delivery. "
TODAY wont be a minute too soon.
