LOUD IN PRAISE
OF BEAVER CITY
Former Newspaper Man Tells
of Prosperity of Furnas
County City While Vis
iting in Omaha.
Mr. and Mrs. Wilber V. 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.'

National Citizens' committee, W. G.

High Decoration of French Republic Pinned Upon
Breast of William Gerhard for Exceptional Bravery
Shown Overseas During Gigantic Bombardment.
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."

Columbia Motor Car Co.
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.

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.
