Union passenger stations ai, a rufe are scenes of a great many pe culiar incidents and plaees where congregate various peculiar species of the human race. The Union sta tion of Omaha is net exception to the rule. Not a day goes by, -that there is not some interesting occurrence at the Union depot. One morning this week . an old man with a white goatee and thin hair wearily mopped h's brow. His eyes- showed signs of bleariness from 'the previous night's celebration. A red cap saw him, but did not ask him where, he thought he was, though it vasap pafent the old man was lost. His expression was - slightly.be wildered when he came up to the red cap, but he asked the question confidently and even patronizingly, "Say, son, when does the next, train leave for Omaha?" "Omaha?" "Yeah, Omaha. Nebraska." How Did He Get Here? -"Why, man, you're in Omaha nowl" The old man looked around him '1 J-i I it I n ft i U r V. if " E u ? ,11 t-i . . .!, it : I si n I if ft: .1 H n 1 Sf Our Window Display MODERN 2nd floor Paxton Hlk On Second Floor Oxfords and Pumps T f j vNm No Tax These oxfords .and pumps are regular stock.

BE SURE AND GET THE RIGHT LOCATION in astonishment "The hell I am!" he gasped in astonishment and hur ried out the door. , ' One afternoon a dozen attaches of the Union station were seen sur rounding a comely young matron and everyone seemed to be talking at once but the girl. "Maybe she talks Russian," saM a red cap. "Naw, she looks like a Swede or Dane," said a brakeman. , "She may be a blonde dago," said an old section hand. Various'attempts were made in different languages to get the girl to talk, but she only smiled arid shook her head. .v A woman got her to talk with a few wiggles of her fingers.' "Why, the poor girl is hungry and wants to know where she can find a restaurant." Th.girl was deaf and dumb. A postoffice inspector traveling out of Omaha, while waiting for his train, told of his recent experience in a little town in South Dakota last week, wherethe postoffice and ho tel are combined and where he asked if t there was any mail for him. The Cafeteria Postoffice. The postmaster sat with his feet ononis desk, smoking a cob. pipe. He casually surveyed his visitor and spat into the sawdust box. "There's the mail over in the box," safH the postmaster. "Halp your self." , ' "What do you mean, help myself," demanded the inspector. "You're postmaster, aren't you?" j "I mean if you Jon't care enough about your mail to get it yourself, you can go without it," proclaimed the postmaster. " "Look hero," came back the in spector,' flashing hjAbadge. "I'm the inspector for this district, and I won't stand for this kind of 'serv ice." v , Then the landlord-postmaster came to life. He jerked open a drawer of 'his desk and brought eut a revolver of huge- dimensions. "You're the guy I been lookin for for the last year," he shouted. "I been writinV letters and writin' letters to Washington to get rid of this damn postoffice and they won't even answer 'em. Now Mr. Inspec tor you don't get out of this place vntil you take your postoffice with you." Slickers Still Ride Trains. A Wyoming stock man com plained Monday he had been trimmed for $165. on the train in "a poker game. "How about a little game?" a stranger asked. "Just a little game of pitch, just for pastime?" - "Alright," I said, "I'll play for pastime." "Well, in about 10' minutes, an other man came along and asked if he could join us. Then the first fellow suggested poker, using matches for chips. I soon lost $165 and every hand I got I was beat, even when I dealt myself. I said I was broke, and the second fellow loaned me $10. I thought he was a good fellow until I saw the two in a restaurant on Farnam street eat ing together. She WilK)rganize Colored Women Into Clubsfor'theG.O.P. ?i y in 1 fo.

There were daddy s trousers, ld and worn; misfit shoes of high and kiw cuts,, one kind on one foot and another kind on the other; patched pants and high top boots. bven girls took up the fad and donned' crazy quilt dresses, border higon the masquerade. Principals and teachers took the movement kindly,. believing it will wear off as rrrv- soon as the novelty disappears. It began, however, a week ago. and to date is going as strong as ever.

People here in town are more" careful to inves tigate land values, property de preciation and the all-around ' economy in good building." Keen appreciation of what property will be worth next year or the year after greatly influences buying. We too, can notice a decided change. This same sane buying condition is more and more evidenced in the purchase of motor cars. 1 For example, many of our Packard friends, who previously owned 1, 23 and even 4 different makes of the so-called economy cars, tell us: JOur biggest saving is not due to the Twin Six's gas oline, oil or tire mileage. " The"Fuel-izer" A Remarkable Invention Now standard equipment on all new Twin Six cars , This ingenious development: Eliminates carbon. Stops foaling OTspark- pings. Prevents oil dilution on cylinder walls ind in the crank case. Makes starting easy in any weather. Even though a. Packard will give gasoline mileage from 9 to 13, depending on road conditions; oil mileage 500 or more to the gal lon; and tires, properly cared for, 10,000 to 16,000 milesa Twin Six owner's greatest economy is in the permanency of Packard value, PAGKARDS five, six oreven ten years7 old have a proport. tionately 'higher re-sale value than any car we know of. ' Let us?explain the many cases right here m our., town where Packards haye. proved to be more economical to operate than cars costing one-half or two thirds as much.

We have vastly .increased tire mileage in the past few years. Thousands of miles nave been "added to Fabric Tires, and the Cord Tir arlHs tVirmsanrl.o. more. ' Then the great problem was to make a tread to last like them. We have solveT"that problem in Millers. Not We run these treads millions of miles in oar tests, to know their actual mileage. We constantly compare them with rivals, and we know how they excel. The best treads ever developed for tires are on the Miller Tires of today: The Leader at Home one Miller Tire built with our new tread has come back to us with the tread gone. We have solvedJt bet ter than others. Our factory tests show. that Miller treads outlast the best of others by 25 per cent. x A difficult task - A tread must be more than endur ing. It must be resilient to protect the balance of the tire " Some tough treads are hard and . brittle. They shorten the life of the tire. They easily cut, and then they form no protection to the tire. The problem was to make , resili ent tread which would outlast the best tire we could build behind it Make daily tests iWe made such a tread and proved it. Then the problem was to every day, make treads exactly like that. The only way to do that was to test each lot of tread stock. Every day a sample comes to our labora tory. There it is vulcanized and tested before the treads are made And no frread stock which fails in this test ever goes in a Miller. About 70 of all American tiraa are made in Akron, the home of jthe Miller. There Miller tires, at retail, outsell all other nukes combined. On a retail business of $500,000 yearly, the average of defective is but 15 tires a year. 1 Double Anti-skids Tread Patented Center tread smooth with suction cup, "for firm hold on wet as phalt Gard-to-the-road side treads mesh like cogs in dirt. In these treads we com bine two anti-skid features. The center is smooth, so it runs like a plain tread. This part has euction cups to firmly grasp wet as phalt. At either side is our Geared-to-the-Road tread -which meshes like cogs in dirt. For front wheels we make a ribbed driving tread for those who desire that type. Pay nothing extra Some claims are made that a better tire can be bought for an extra price. Our factory, tests, made against five leading makes, shovTthat Millers constantly excel. ' In countless contests, where up to 20 makes are run against the Millers, Miller Tires are winning. , The Miller mileage is the talk of Tiredom. It is everywhere discussed.. A better tire has not been bnilt , If it ever is built, we are bound that this concern shall build it. Make a test. Put an extra-price tire on the opposite wheel. See how it compares with the Miller under like conditions. When you buy a new car insist on Miller Tires. Twenty car makers now supply them and there is nc extra charge. , ; Cords or Fabrics Now the Record Makers, Geared -to-the-Road aTaeiatsraa? V. S, Aam OgUt MILLER RUBBER CO. . 2220 Farnam Street.
