THE BEE? OMAHA. THURSDAY, OCTOBEH 8, OMAHA BOY GETS 2 HUNS BEFORE HE GETSBLIGHTY Abe Gerstein Visits Grave of Lieutenant Roosevelt and Sees Service in the Trenches. I. t t 2. 1 Dave Crounse, 610 Xortli Twenty-second street, Omaha, is in re ceipt of two letters from his cousin, Abram Gerstein. In these letters he states that it is just six months since he left American shores and that for three of them he has seen service on the front line in two dif ferent sectors. , The first letter is dated August 19th, and in it he states that he has been in the big drive and tinder the guiding hand of good fortune he has been permitted to come out uninjured, and is now spending a brief time in a rest camp in the rear, but expects to go up to the front again at any moment. That Abe shares Omaha's pride in ' Company A is evidenced in his let ter where he says "Our boys have made a splendid showing in this cam-, paign." Quoting still further from his letter he says: "It will no doubt be interesting to you to know that it has been my pleasure to see the grave of Lieutenant Quentin Roose velt. A few or our Red Cross decor. ated it with flowers. At the head of his grave is a cross made from a part of his airplane. The last few days it has been glorious weather, and one can readily understand why it is called '.Sunny France.' " And then in the closing lines of his letter he speaks words which show that he ai caught the spirit of the true soldier. "Well, dear cousins, don't worry about me. We must let God be the judge as to when a man must die. Over here we all have a nonchalant idea of death, although ! we take every "precaution to pre 1 vent it. Tile air vibrates with sound : and the earth shakes, but unless I i hear the whistle of an incoming i shell I do not worry. Once you ; learn how safe it is flat on the 1 ground and what a small target you make, you conclude your chances ar. very good, unless it has been de creed otherwise." The second letter is under date of September 4, and bears evidence that he has been up in the front lines again. He says: "I was wounded August 29 in action. Was shot through the left foot with a machine gun bullet, but I got two bodies before they got me. I am in one of the finest American hospitals over here and the nurses are taking good care of me. The doctors tell me that it will he a long time before 1 will he able to walk, but that I will come out all right and be able to go up to the front lines again." Five More Girls Escape From Detention Hospital Five girls escaped from the de tention home Tuesday night. Two have been recaptured, but Mable Young, Lona Craig and Beatrice Wilhelm are still at large. Two Bicycles Stolen. Linder Hart, 4307 Camden avenue, reported to the police his wheel was taken from in front of 2009 North Twenty-fifth Monday evening. Boys' Working Reserve to Wear Regulation Uniform Uniforms have been specified for boys 15 to 18 years of age, who will enroll on November 14 in the United States Boys' Working Reserve. They will closely resemble the regulation army uniform and will consist of olive drab blouse, trous ers, leggings and shirt, tan shoes and campaign hats. In training camps and at schools the boys will be ihider discipline siirilar to that of the army. The matter of military training is still tinder consideration. Courses of study are being ar ranged for public schools and spe ciaf instructors are to be provided. Registration will probably be held at school houses, those not attend ing school registering according to the districts in which they five. Mayor Proposes Dedicating City Honor Roll Next Week The names of Omaha heroes, who have lost their lives on land and sea in the cause of liberty since the United States declared war on the Huns, have been inscribed on a roll of honor which rests upon a wall inside of the Famam street entrance 1 of the city hall. Mayor Smith will submit to the , city council a suggestion that this i roll of honor should be dedicated at a public service in the city hall some night next week. Rev. Titus Lowe will be one of the speakers. Funston Soldiers Meet. All soldiers furloughed from Camp Funston to participate in the Ak-Sar-Ben parade will form for the line of march at Twenty-second and Hickory streets. They will form in line at 12:30. f t ' ' J; I.1 r it it M ! li ;j at s 4 it i it F ! ft' t; t .- ; - U ? i. If X. ENBY TRUCKS 1 Ton-$1650 3 Ton-$2775 2 Ton-$23S0 5 Ton$4900 f. o. b.

System of Purchase Of Bonds on Deferred Payments Explained Some misapprehension exists con cerning the terms on which savings and loan associations will handle the sale of fourth Liberty bonds on the monthly installment plan, according to officials. It arises, they say. from inaccurate statements published with reference to the interest accruing on the bonds during the period of the installment payments. Associations are generally agreed on monthly payments, instead of weekly payments, the latter involv ing too much clerical labor. On a $50 bond the official initial payment of 10 per cent is required, and sub sequent monthly payments' of $4 until the purchase is completed. Payments on a $100 bond will be double that on a $50 bond, and so on to the limit of the purchase. Xo charge will be made for service. Payments may be increased at will. On completion of the purchase the bondholder will receive a prorata share of the accrued interest on the bond as the purchaser's account de termines, it is announced. Most of the associations are still carrying installment pttrcha.-rrs of the second and third Liberty loans, and expect a material increase in purchasers of the fourth. The sys tem greatly facilitates purchases among the wage-earners, and being wholly free of expense, accords the Ibest available means of putting a Liberty bond in every home. New Plan to Help Sale of Liberty Bonds is Evolved A wrinkle in Liberty Loan bond buying, new in America, but which has been successfully tried out in j Kngland, has been adopted by the Imputable Lite Insurance company. The plan provides for the pur chase of a $1,000 Liberty Loan bond, of the fourth issue and the paying for it in ten semi-annual install ments, the bond all the time earn ing 4-2 per cent interest. The bond is carried as an insur ance premium and is paid for on the same principle. Should the sub scriber die before the entire amount of installments will have been paid the insurance company turns over to the widow or beneficiary thfc SLOW bond ful'c paid. State Defense Council Endorses United War Work Drive in Letter j The following letter received by Executive Secretary L. C. Oberlies, indicates that the State Council of Defense is cordially endorsing the I'nited War Work campaign. After i the Liberty loan, it is expected that all government activities will co operate in making this great drive a success. The letter follows: "We hav'e your letter of Septem ber Jfith relative to the Unified War Work campaign. This council cer tainly will give you every assistance possible in making you r contem plated drive a success, i "We are heartily in sympathy with the combination of activities suggested and believe that it is the ! most effective method of raising the i needed funds. All of the activities named are doing splendid service and we feel sure that a generous support will be given by our Ne braska people. "1 think that after the Liberty bond campaign is over it would he a very I good thing for us to address the local county councils, asking for their co-operation with your local committees. We shall be glad to do this." Stenographers in Demand at Railroad Headquarters Owing to such a large number of clerks having gone to war, stenog raphers, male and female, are in greater demand than ever before. One of the places where they are almost certain to find employment, is in the railroad offices, where wages are mounting skyward. In the Union Pacific headquar ters, girls just out of the commer cial colleges are taken on at a wage of $87.50 a month and the demand is far in excess of the supply. Offers Reward for Arrest of Livery Barn Thieves Here's a chance to make $25. L. A. Meeker, livery man, reported to the sheriff's office Wednesday morn ing that bis barn at Twenty-second and Paul streets had been entered by thieves, who took two sacks of oats and a set of double harness. He offers a reward of $25 for the arrest and conviction of the thieves. Precautions Against Flu Taken at Lincoln Following First DeatK One death from "Spanish flu" ha been reported at Lincoln where th following precautions have been recommended by Health Commis sioner Manning as tending to de crease susceptibility to the dis ease : "1. Avoid crowded street cars, rooms, etc. "2, Gargle the throat and spray or douche the nasal tract with nor mal salt solution (1 teaspoonful to a quart) or some one of the common weak antiseptic solutions, informa tion regarding which may be ob tained from any physician. "3. Keep the bowels free. "4. Keep up a state of high Indi vidual resistance by hygenic living. Eat a moderate amount of plain, wholesome food. Get plenty of sleep and exercise under the best possible air conditions. "5. Some physicians recommend inoculations with the influenza (grippe) vaccine. 10-20 Model J Burns Kerosene l. ..tr;:--i billies F. O. B. Sandusky S,-- VC"'!' V After spending more than a year -in trying to find what we thought to be the best tractor on the market we have settled on the famous Sandusky. demonstrators to help to put the thing over and put it over right. We have the various sizes of tractors, but wish to give you herewith some idea of our 10-20, the little fellow with the big pull. Would like to have you compare the specifications with other machines, then let us try it out for you. We have found in our exhaus tive tests that flexibility means long life. In this machine we have, we think, the very best machine on the market. We have taken on a large terri tory and expect to develop a large business by giving the best possible machine for the money, and the very best service. We have a splendid agency deal and have good territory open with several salesmen and The degree of FLEXIBILITY provided in the design and construction of a tractor has a very impor tant bearing on its LIFE. Without suitable provision for flexibility, no tractor can Long stand the shocks and strains which it must undergo in the field and on the road. While the famous Sandusky motor, transmission and Timken Worm and Gear drive, together with such high-grade standard ized accessories as Hyatt Roller and S K F Swedish ball bearings, are important factors in efficiency and service, there is real dan ger in assuming that one tractor is as good as another just because dome quality units are embodied therein. Many details upon which depend the constant day-in-and-day-out service provided in The Sandusky Tractor have been developed through our years of experience in many parts of the world. More than sixteen years ago The Sandusky was a two-cylinder, three wheel tractor. Neither the power plant nor the design conformed to our standard of all-around service. We eventually developed our own four-cylinder motor and determined that even an "iron horse" should hae four good legs upon which to stand. This standard four-wheel design, together with our smooth running four-cylinder kerosene motor, eliminates ruinous vibra tion. Our pivoting front axle, combined with ideal three-point spring suspension, provides a flexibility that can be obtained in no other manner. The springs relieve the tractor from road and field iars and shocks and constitute one of the most vital details em bodied in The Sandusky Tractor. They are true "life savers." as constant vibration without provision for "give and take" will in time crystallize the best of shafting, the frame, wheels, spokes, etc., and sooner or later require expensive replacements. The drawbar on The Sandusky Tractor aids its efficiency rather than detracts from it. The pull is from the "shoulders'" rather than the "tail," insuring proper guiding traction for the front wheels no matter how heavy the load. It, too, is spring equipped, protecting the machine against starting and stopping shocks. The front wheel radius rod is spring equipped to overcome the damaging effect of shocks encountered by the front wheels in go ing over rough ground, dropping into dead furrows, chuck holes, and the like. The radiator is spring mounted, protecting it against rack and ruin due to vibration. In addition to all this, a patented universal coupling is installed between the motor and transmission, and between the transmission and worm and gear drive, relieving these units from road and field "weaves" that are bound to prevail in running over uneven sur faces in spite even of the wonderful flexibility provided in the spring suspension and equipment embodied in this machine. These points, combined with the unusual flexibility of the front axle and the short-turning radius as illustrated, mean much in the degree of satisfactory service and long life that can be ob tained from equipment of this character. No other make or type of tractor embodies all of these important refinements in flexibil ity, meaning that in The Sandusky Tractor you are assured of a more profitable investment over a longer period of time. You are buying your tractor for long, continuous, hard service. Protect yourself against disappointment by selecting the flexible, spring equipped Sandusky.
