' Several manufacturers of motor
trucks have' placed their entries for
, the First National Motor Truck Re
liability Contest within the last
week. The list of entrants is grow
ing steadily. The run .will start June
14 from Craiaha, where The Omaha
Bee unselfishly undertook the un
derwriting of the event for the gen-
. eral good of the motor truck indus
try in a district known as the Money
Belt, 'in which the sale of motor
-trucks has not been up to the stand
ard with solid tires. V '
':. It is believed that this run 6t 2,500
miles in 25 flays, covering the rich
est farm section of the world, with
long noon stops and night stops at
mast important places, will, do much
to place the truck in a commanding
position for future business. All
entrants will use pneumatic tires., .
. Distributers and dealers along the
tentative route, and throughout the
'. entire Mone Belt district, have
' .been very insistent that the manu
facturers, whom they represent, en
ter for the contest, as a demonstra
tion. Farmers are watching for the con
test with the utmost interest,, and
the daily papers : throughout the
country ana especially in : the dis
trict to be rnade oy the run, are anx
iously awditing the consummation
of the elaborate, plans which have
been made. Among the :recent en
tries received are two Reo Speed
wagons and a Duptex.
Announcement has been made of
the entry of the Napoleon and of the
Douglas, and several other makers
are filling lout the necessary entry
blanks and have notified the man
agement .that these will be for
warded at an early da4r
Kopac Brothers take the
Agency for Holt Tractor
Copac Brothers have taken on the
sale of the Holt caterpillar tractor
for the $tate of Nebraska and west
ern Iowa. The caterpillar tractors'
are used very extensively in road
work and as Kopac Brothers have
been selling road machinery for
somf time, this tractor fits in very
well with their road machinery.
Kopac' Brothers have always been
very closely connected with the
tractor business ever since it started.
Kopac Brothers operate five
branches in addition to the main
office in Omaha. The wholesale
branch is operated at Norfolk, in
connection with a garage witlTa
distributing agency for Dodge cars.
Garages are also operated at Colum
bus, Schuyler and David City, There
are. seven brothers connected with
this business, five of whom are
actively engaged? namely: Anton
Kopac, Joe, Frank, Ed ,and Emil.
The.other, two brothers are John
and Jim Kopac. John Kopac oper
ates a farm and Jim Kopac is irt
the real estate business. f
Automobiles are. quite' common
among the Indians of the Navajo,
Hopi and other tribes in Utah.

spending seven days en route. Mr,
Wiles says the roads are in bad con
dition in some places, buthey were
able to maintain a very farr average
fpeed for the entire trip. From the
border of Colorado to California
they encountered sand and mud
most all the way. On some of the
good roads they were able to main
tain speed of 60 miles per hour. The
record, for the trip was 425 miles in
28 hours, going against the wind.
Mr. Wiles says they spent $2.80 f6r

Sprague Buys Machine
For Cutting Tire Fabric
Realizing the importance of vol
ume production, the Sprague Tire
and Rubber company 'of this city
has just installed a new bias cutter
in its factory, which, when working
at full capacity, will cut enough
fabric to bujld from 1,500 to 2,000
tires a day. '
The new machinewhich is of the
latest design, will do-the work of
from six to eight men. It prevents
waste and cuts fabric much mere
accurately than it is, possible to do
by hand. -
As far as known this is the first
bias cutter which has ever been in
stalled in any tireompany in this
section of the country.

Clergymen Asked to
Aid In Movement for ,
. Better Auto Roads
... ,. ' .
Vashiiigtoiif--D. C, May 16.
(Special). Issuing a call for the oh
service of Good Roads' Sunday,
May ,46, in connection with National
Ship by Truck Good Roads week,
May 17-22, the committee 'in charge
of arrangements for the week have
addressed a letter to clergymen of
every denomination inviting their at
tention to the "relatiThi between
good roads and Christian progress."
construction of better highways will
prove one of the quickest means of
facilitating production, the call says:
"The purpose is to fix in the heart
of citizens the conviction that ,the
next step to be taken for welfare of
the community, the nation and the
world is immediately to improve the
highways and to inaugurate meas
ures whereby every mile of roadbed
in the .United States may be hard
surfaced as soon as the combined
forces of, counties, states and the
federal government can secure this
result."
The. urgent need of increased
transportation facilities is empha
sized in the call which continues:
"The waterways and railways no
longer can handle the ' volume of
traffic that must be moved.
"City "dwellers cannot continue to
pay the present prices of foodstuffs.
A national factor in these excessive
costs is the haul from the, farm to
theVtown over primitive roads. If
production "is to be increased, the
farmer's life must be made attractive.
Nothing will produce this result as
surely as modern highways." v,

tractor-number 100,000 left the as
sembly hue in the tordson plant
at Dearborn, Mich., slightly, less
than two and one-half years after
number one was completed. And
here again Henry Ford has set a
new high record in the 'manufacture
of farm tractors via the quantity
production route.
Although the Ford interests are
very recent in the ranks of the
tractor manufacturers, yet Henry
Ford really built a tractor of the
steam type before he started work
on his first gas car. And incidental
ly, that tractor and the .first car
are still in very good running con
dition, and Mr. Ford occasionally
demonstrates both to visitors at his
farm invDearborn;
Fordson tractors are now being
assembled at a rate of 350 daily

riE man who tempers economy with wisdom directs the
expenditure of his money judiciously. He is more concerned N
with ultimate values than with mere cheapness of price.
It is to this type of person among motorists that the Paige car
most appeals. N
We, of the Paige Company, have always taken ne view-that
unless -a car has the qualities essential to comfort, lasting satisfac
tion and pride of ownership, it would be dear at any price.
So we built the Paige Glenbrook according to our ideas of what a
rcflJnotor car should be a car which would be not only a reliable
vehicle of transportation but also a car ofbeauty, comfort and power.
