ARE BOON TO ALL
WOMEN DRIVERS
Sedan and Coupe Especially
Notable for Greater Ad
vantages They Offer
V . In Winter.
'The sedan and coupe are espe
cially notable for the wider range
of . advantages .they offer to all
women,'- says A. w. Cook,, Omaha
retail store manager for Chevrolet
Motor company of Nebraska. .
"With either of these two styles
the woman who has many interests
outside her home is able to increase
the" field of her activities to get to
more places in less time and with
greater comfort. It conserves her
mental and physical ejiergy and
helps her to accomplish more with
out sacrificing domestic responsibili
ties. "For the same reasons closed
cars do away with the most un
pleasant phase of shopping the
getting to stores and back espe
cially in inclement weather.
''In such a car- more shops can
be visited and a wider selection
made in every purchase. It enables
the housewife to seek out the best
values in all supplies and to get
things home she really needs just
when she needs them.', ,
Elmer Apperson of Apperson
Brothers will winter in Los Angeles.
Mr. Apperson has. shipped one, of
the latest models of Apperson cars
to southern California and will tour
up and down the coast.

TRUCK BRINGS
UP HEAVY LOAD
FROM LINCOLN
Proves That Autos Can Buck
the Snow Where Horses
Dare Not Undertake
the Trip.
Last week Geiger & Co., who op
crate the Globe Van and Storage
company at Lincoln, Neb., made a
trip from Lincoln to Omaha carry
ing three and one-half tons of
household goods, including a piano.
Many of the experienced travelers
of the road between Lincoln and
Omaha were absolutely and morally
certain that this truck would be
part of a landscape between Lincoln
and Omaha until the snow had
melted, but the man who drove the
truck, a Four-Wheel Drive special
"job had a different view of the sit-
nation ana proveatnat n was rignr.
Another thing worthy of mention i
connection with this trip is that no
chains were used on the trip. The
40x8 Pneumatic tires made this trip
possible and demonstrated quite
clearly that the modern motor-truck
can get through where the horse can
not. ;
This truck carried a return load
from Omaha to Lincoln. The re
turn load consisted of Firestone
tires. .

It's
the
Simply a
Reo and
Matter of
Imitations
No matter what you may read or be told, the fact re
mains that the Reo Speed Wagon was the first of iu
kind to he produced and is today the largest seller of
any similar type of truck. .
And REO supremacy has been maintained despite
the fact thatmany imitations have since been offeree!
the public. Mounted on pneumatic tires and equipped
with electric lights and 'starter, it has established low
delivery cost records that have never been equaled.
These statements, which we are prepared to support
with indisputable evidence, Should be sufficient to
convince the most logical reasbner to choose the Reo
Speed Wagon in preference to any other vehicle of
like capacity. ,

Bonus for United States
Rubber Company Employes
As a holiday remembrance,' the
United States Rubber company gave

orations were made and by noon
of the 24th everything was ready
for the distribution of the bonus.
As the employes were leaving for
lunch, they were told to go through
the office of T. J. Needham, the
manager, who presented the checks
to each individual with a personal
word of thanks for their co-operation
during the past year and good
wishes for the year to come. As each
employe left the office of the mana
ger, they were met at the door by
A- A. McClur, assistant manager,

handsome box of candy and each
man with cigars.
Essex Continues to Win
Honors On Track and Road
"The Essex continues to hang up
new endurance records, according to
word -just received frohv Detroit,"
said Guy L. Smith.
"After holding first place through
the entire latter part of the race an
Essex flashed home a winner ahead
of seven other starters in the .40
mile road contest that featured the
Ladd, III., welcome home to its serv
ice men. The Essex completed the
distance in 56 minutes flat.
"At Enid, Okl., in a recent series
of dirt track races the Essex and
Hudson made a clean sweep, cap
turing five first places. An Essex
won four out of five races and fin
ished second to the Hudson in a 20-'
mile event. The Essex averaged
1:124 to a mile, while the Hudson
finished the 20-mil race in 26 min
utes flat."
An interesting suggestion for use
in connection with soldering iron or
slecl is to make a swab from flexible
electric light cord,' which is used in

(Continued From Page Nine).
vorjte arguments at their finger tips
They bring them to school, and en
deavor thereby to impress them up
on all with whom they come in con
tact. It so happened that Miss
Bentley's friend had a class full of
the socialistically precocious chil
dren. Any argument she used to
show them they were wrong was
upset by their answers or questions.
It got to the stage where the teach
er was beaten on every tack she
took and her position in that school
was becoming unbearable. She was
about to apply for a transfer. to a
school in another section of the city
when a letter from Miss Bentley
advised her of the. "poison cures-
noison metnoa. tier aavice was to

mouth, but by action, using the equa
lization argument against itself,
Miss Bentley had heard her friend
tell of the eagerness with which
these children strove for high marks
in their monthly tests. That was
their goal and anv means and meth
ods were used by them to attain the
coveted 100 per cent The test ques
tions were given. On correcting
the papers the teacher found that
four of the children had received
100 per cent, ten 90 per cent, eight
had 75 per cent, sixteen 60 per cent,
ten had 50 per cent, and using Miss
Bentley's method of marking their
papers, she equalized the marks. All
the children, irrespective of their
mental attainments and the results
of their work received 70 per cent.
The effect was electric. Twenty
two children who were bright and
who had always led the arguments
of social eaualization now led in the
wildest squawk ever heard; and the
parents joined them.
"It is wrong! It is wrongr tney
yelled.
The teacher advised tnem she was
simply following the teachings of
socialism, pointing to the fact that
only 22 were suffering while 26 were
benefited. The poor in mind were
the equal to the bright ones. It
stung them hard and the yelps of
socialism have died a peacetui deatn
in that room.
Miss Bentley argues that methods
of that kind, discreetly applied to
socialism, bolshevism, etc., will do
more good than laws or guns.
Incidentally she asks what all the
followers of Emma Goldman and Al
exander Berkman think of both per
sonages arriving at HIUs island at

some 40 odd trunks of wearing ap
enough possessions to put in, two
