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."

Let Uncle Sam be the Judge
You can't make a mistake in buyinga Denby, be
cause the government won't permit you to buy -any mo
tor truck unless you need it.
The government recognizes the fact that certain
merchants and farmers are engaged in work necessary
to the prosecution of the war-and that motor trucks
are necessary in carrying on this work. These and no
others can purchase Denby Trucks.
We must sign a pledge to follow the government
Jnstructions or we cannot sell trucks.
When you buy a Denby Truck now you are buying
something that the government says you need. Be
cause, if you don't need it the government won't let us
sell it to you.
LET UNCLE SAM BE THE JUDGE.

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

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.

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.
Literature will be mailed upon application. Please ask for
issue J-5 of free book, "Power On the Farm," which thoroughly
illustrates and describes all features of design, high-grade con
struction and exceptional ability of "The Little Fellow With the
Big Pull."
