Two sturdy lions and one or more
bears will he imported as sparring
and wrestling partners tor mem
bers of the new Omaha Athletic
club, which will open its doors dur
' jug the latter part of October.
The decision to introduce two of
the deadliest fighters of the feline
lecies into his athletic curriculum
for the new gymnasium was reach
: cd after careful study of the train
C ing careers of most noted pugilistic
.'. champions of former day?. Several
J ' of these former ring generals, whose
footwork resembled the catlike
I read of the panther and whose
; arms held the potentialities of chain
,: er! lightning gained their indomit
V ithle morale and power through con
tinued physical contests with lions.
Psychologically this story is quite
plausible. By the well authenticat
tj and demonstrated hypothetical
laws of psychology, mental sugges
tion is a substantial and material
fact.
Will Take Out Teeth.
Pursuant to this hypothesis, the
, sub-conscious dr subjective mind of
" men continually contesting the men
y tal and physical supremacy of the
mightiest of the beast kingdom, ob
; viously would assume the charac
- teristics of his antagonist's strategy
a r.d morale. These continued con
tests result in the assimilation by
the sub-conscious mind of the ini
) ihtive of the King of the Jungle.
These attributes once ' assimilated
and directed by the creative intelli
gence of the conscious or objective
mind, render the possessing human
being an almost irresistable offend
er in contests with his fellow man.
The foregoing is the logic which
inspired former athletic phenome
' . firms to take up the lion training.
The lions to be imported by Wen
tfall will be fully grown and verile
but their teeth and claws will be
taken out. Thus the athletic stu
dents will be compelled to contest
superior strength only.
Several weeks probably will be
. required before the two cats and
Mr. Bruin will be available, but it
is hoped they will be here 'for the
grand opening.

Farmers will find that Oliver tractor disk plows will enable them to more successful

Oliver No. 78 tractor plows enter

operator to plow deep to the ends
of the furrows.
Even depth plowing is done at the end of the field by Oliver Tractor Plows. The
bottoms of all Oliver Tractor Plows enter and leave the ground points first. For this
reason the plows penetrate to full cutting depth or raise to full height in a short
space of travel.

Acme Trucks are built in that painstaking manner which characterizes
the work of so many manufacturing companies which have grown due
to the merit of their work.
The Acme Motor Truck company of today is not the result of stock sell
ing. It is the result of truck building which has satisfied owners and
prompted them to buy more as well as recommend them to their business
acquaintances.
Truck buying is in no sense bargairf' hunting. One should consider well
the duties which a truck will be called upon to perform Then buy a truck
which will do the work and stand up under the strain. Consider the price
as secondary.
Each unit of the Acme truck has been worked out in harmony with the
other units so that the entire operation is economical,
Acme users everywhere are making ten to twelve miles per gallon of
gasoline with the sturdy Acme 2-Ton Truck under varying road and load con
ditions and twelve to fourteen miles per gallon with the Acme IrTon Truck.
The Acme 3i and 4-Ton models are just as consistent performers as their
smaller brothers.
Acme owners everywhere are cutting delivery costs one-fourth to one
half and making deliveries with speed and certainty, day after day, year in,
year out. For instance, figures are at hand showing that deliveries hereto
fore costing 15 cents now can be made the Acme away for from 7 to 10 cents.
