Annes . visited in Omaha en route from Beaver City, where Mr. Annes de livered the Decoration day address. Beaver City is Mr. Annes' old home town, and he was enthusiastic in tell ing of its growth since he last visited there. He edited a column of paragraphs of the Walt Mason style while work ing on the Beaver City Times-Tribune, which was established by his father. He gives credit for the suc cess of the paper to' the editorial brilliancy of the present owner, F. N. Merwin. Wide streets capable of parking automobiles three deep was one of the interesting features Mr. Annes noticed during his visit. He says Beaver City is one of the most pros perous and thriving cities in south east Nebraska, with beautiful homes, churches, banks and business blocks. This prosperous city of 2,000 people is situated in the heart of a fine farm ing community with land increasing in value rapidly. Tom Majors of Peru visited with - him while in the city and business was suspended while Annes re viewed old times with the follower of Grant and Sherman. Mr. Majors was greatly interested '"' in the airplane being used by Dr. Brewster and inquired of Mr. Annes, who is now a druggist, if he filled any prescriptions in the new plane. Mr. Annes admitted making a flight. He predicts that airplanes will, soon be in common use by physicians, but objects to his doctor friend taking ' the risk required of a pioneer.' boy"scoutTdrive FOR $27,000 TO START JflOND AY , : (Continued From Page One.) week as set forth in President Wil son's proclamation are as follows: ' Public recognition of what Boy Scouts did to help win the war: Stirring up each community to conditions affecting its boyhood.. , Education of community on how the Boy Scout program meets local boy problems.

Associate memberships in the Boy 1 Scouts will cost a minimum of $1 ' . each and are open to men and women. - Larger amounts are desir ! ed, of course, from those who can ; afford it, and are sufficiently inter :" ested to pay more. Each person who becomes a mem ' ber will -receive a certificate signed . by the officers of the Boy Scouts of America and the chairman of the National Citizens' committee, W. G. McAdoo. Campaigns -will be opened today in churches of the city, talks being made off the merits of scouting in f" helping the boyhood of the commu nity. In some instances Boy Scouts will make four-minute addresses and will otherwise participate in the pro . gram. Tomorrow meetings will be held in most cities and towns to give .. committees on survey opportunity to present their reports on the con ditions affecting boy life in their ' communities. , Four-Day Drive. ' n The membership and financial campaign will run through four - days, Tuesday; Wednesday, Thurs day and Friday. .Saturday, June 14, will be Flag day, and Scout organi- ration ceremonies will be held in most communities. Interest in the campaign will be aroused by various plans. Besides f services in the churches, there will be public meetings, community bar ,(,becues, receptions to scouts and scout officials, scout banquets, field .. days and excursions and picnics. ; The survey committees, by virtue of their careful investigations of boy I life, in various communities, will put ' into the hands of scout officials and s civic authorities the latest and best information' available regarding the ! boyhood of the country. The ques- tions of working conditions among .boys, idleness, truancy, juvenile de linquency, reform and correction, -..jrangs .and clubs, demoralizing shows, are among the negative in , fluences to be reported upon.

William J. Gerhard, 2714 Jackson street, was decorated with the Croix de Guerre with the silver star, yes terday afternoon on the court house square, as a recognition of bravery displayed when he was with the Fifth regiment of United States ma rines.' During one of the heaviest bombardments of the war, Gerhard, who was a pharmacist's mate, ex posed himself fearlessly to shell fire and. established and maintained a liaison between the battalion dress ing stations about the field hospital and the regimental surgeon. A large number of Mr. Gerhard's friends and relatives were as sembled to witness the honor be stowed upon him. He stood on the court Jiouse steps with Ensign Charles E. Maas, inc harge of the Omha naval recruiting station, and reviewed a parade which marched up Farnam street and into a position in front of the waiting hero. The detachment of sailors with armed color guard came to atten tion and presented arms in front of Ensign Maas and young Gerhard. And- while the folds of the large flag fluttered about tht head of the young hero, Ensign Maas pinned the coveted decoration on the left side of the breast of Mr- Gerhard. He also haned him the official French citation, signed by General Petain, commander of the French forces of the eastern division. The citation is in French. This, with a translation into English was re ceived from France by Secretary of the Navy Daniels and forwarded here to be given to the hero with the Croix de Guerre. This ended the ceremony. Scores of friends hurried up to shake hands with the young man and most oi ' them were armed with cameras to take his picture. The boy blushed and, though he made efforts, it was some time before he could get away from the embarrassment of admira tion. It is said that young Gerhard is the first and only Nebraskan to gain the high honor of the Croix de Guerre with the silver star, and have it bestowed within the boundaries of the state. The parade up- Farnam street was headed by the Chamber of Com merce drum corps and ended with an armed color guard and detach ment of sailors under command of Chief Boatswain's mate, A. M. Lace. Young Gerhard received his dis charge from the service April 15 and is now in the employ of the Omaha Ice and Cold Storage company. nine million boys between the ages of 11 and 21 years who now do not have the benefit of Boy Scout or ganization training because suffi cient funds have not been available to extend it to them. The total number of Scouts in the country now number above 386,000. It is to make possible this greatly needed extension that it is hoped to receive 1,000,000 associate members during Boy Scout Week, pursuant to president's proclamation. Authoress Challenges Reforming Preachers Boston, June 7. "The preacher who would preach the ruffles, frills, decolette and naughtiness out of women's clothes is preaching away the foundations of the world." This challenge to clerical dress reformers is launched by Maria Thompson Davies, authoriess and playwright. "It doesn't matter how whispy or clingy or fluffy or abbreviated at top and bottom the garments which women affect may be," she asserts, ''as long as they are willing and do emphasize by their , dress the fact that they are women there is hope (or the world."

Moves Into New Quarters The Columbia Motor Car Co. of of Nebraska have recently moved under the quarters formerly occu pied by the Pennsylvania Rubber Co. at 2212 Farnam street. This location is much better from every angle and will enable the Columbia people to not only display their cars in better shape but there is suffici ent room to operate a service sta tion. Although the Columbia has been represented here but a short time it is making a wide circle of friends. Big Demand for Lots Is Noted in Bellevue . tu... : - u: a j t i I and lots in Bellevue.

Illlllllllllllt ' " ' Illipilillllilllllllll Ill I i HI II .HI, .'IE Essex Popularity Grows Note Their Increasing Number On the Streets and Ask Their Owners Sells at $1395 f. o. b. Detroit Hailed as a New Leader All who have seen the Essex will under stand how difficult it is to appear temper ate in our claims for it. . People are saying the most enthusiastic things about it. They like its light weight and the way in which it combines the eco nomy of the cheap car with the quality, en durance, comfort and performance of the large costly automobile. Motorists in every section are praising the Essex. Tens of thousands have ridden in it. A million have seen the Essex. All hail it a new leader. "It Is THE Light Car" That in a sentence expresses a view of practically everyone. It describes their feelings as to its type, its value and its distinctive performance. Motorists have long talked of the car that would be enduring and comfortable to ride in and of great performance ability and still that would be neither heavy nor costly to buy or operate. They describe the Essex as being "the car" that fills that field. And they have long wanted a light car that they would not have to apologize for because of its appearance. So their expres sion, "That is THE Light Car," describes their feelings concerning the Essex. When Can I Get an Essex? That is the question all are asking. Thousands of course have already been shipped. They are going out from the fac tory in increasing numbers every day. But orders are also piling up and from the first we have had waiting lists. It is not a question of selling the Essex during the next several months. The ques tion will be "Who will get them?" If you are to be an Essex owner you must not de lay ordering. Everyone who knows the Essex is en thusiastic for it. All are talking about it. You can understand something of Esse? popularity if you will listen to what motor ists are saying. Ask any owner. If you haven't ridden in an Essex there is a pleas ant experience in store for you.
