view it would be much more
desirable, doubtless, to 60 to
war with both Germany and
Great Britain in order to OBJ
tain our rights. To win by
peaceful diplomacy may seem
too much like a base surrender
to mollycoddles and college
SiSsieS; vet there is something
to be said for it. For one
thing, it is the old fashioned
American way, which, in spite
of occasional brag and blus-
ter, has kept us out of much
trouble with our neighborS
during the last hundred years
without the sacrifice of natl
onal interests.
And one highly conspicu-
Gus fact stands out in sight of
everybody. This country may
be as unprepared for war as
the Hon. Augustus P. Gard
ner thinks he thinks it is, and
billions of miles of unprotect-
ed coast may be open to inva-
sion at all hours of the day and
night, but it is apparent that
no reasonable nation is delib-
erately mourning the ill-will
of the United States, much
less inviting hostilities.-New

m HE universal approval
VI with which this motor
car has been received
teaches that the motoring pub
lie has learned to Judge mo-
tor car vlues with a keener
eye than ever before. The un-
precedented demand for this
seasons Bucks establishes the
fact that the public is coming
to a better and better under
standing of the underlying
principles of motor car con-
struction and manufacture. We
have always cOntended that
the demand for Bucks would
increase in exact ratio to the
spread of knowledge concern
ing the manner in which these
cars are designed and built,
and the present overwhelming
demand indicates beyond all
doubt that the buying public
has learned where to find real
motor car values. Everybody
who saw these cars in June
predicted that they would
prove more popular than any
cars previously sold; but even
the most sanguine friends of
the Buick did not expect such
complete endorsement as
these cars are now receiving.
1t is an endorsement which
outdoes anything in all Buick
history. In every mail we re-
ceive letters and kilograms
which fairly run wild with en-
thusiasm. 1t is doubtful
whether any manufacturer
ever received so many enthusi-
astic endorsements of his pro-
duct as have been showered
upon this six-cylinder, five
passenger touring car. 1t has
literally set the public by the
ears.

- EVER did a motor car
81 receive such a welcome
~ as has been accorded
the 1916 Buick. Never before
did a motor car inspire such
an insistent demand as has this
one. From the first days that
this car was put on the market
orders have arrived in such
volume that the factory is
swamped. They write in and
theywire in, and hundreds go
to Flint personally in their eff
forts to get earlier delivery.
There never was anything like
it.
And everywhere the car is
measuring up to all the great
expectations it aroused. Thou
sands are delighted with its
power. Others tell of their as
tonishment at its performance
under adverse conditions. Wo-
men have written to express
their delight about its easy rid
ing qualities. Technical men
have called it a marvel of en-
gineering development. Art
lists have admired its exquisite
beauty. Practically every pur-
chaser has expressed his sur
prise at the mileage he obtains
from gasoline and oil. From
the coasts and from the plains
and from the mountains have
come thousands of letters, all
telling of points of superiority
and universal satisfaction.
From these letters we have
learned of superiorities in this
car which even our engineers
didn't know existed. The pub
lie is the court of last resort,
and the public has placed its
stamp of approval on this car.

combine to make motor car

cells. First of all, it is beauti-
fully designed. It's beautiful
lines afford a feast to the most
critical eye. There is a bal
anced beauty of outline which
at once appeals to those who
admire true beauty.
From an engineering stand
point it is a masterpiece. Some
of the most famous engineers
and technical men in the coun-
try have pronounced it the
most advanced achievement
in motor car engineering yet
developed. With the famous
Buick Valve-in-Head motor as
the foundation of its mechani-
cal worth, this car has set an
altogether new standard of
performance. 1t is powerful
beyond the most exacting
need; with a power that is
velvety smooth and vibration

est hills with an ease that is
truly astonishing. 1t plows
through sand without the
slightest effort, and on smooth
roads it is the very poetry of

ORDERED FROM u. S.

HASTINGS. Neb., April 2O,-A big
order for war harness manufactured
for shipment to England for use in
the European war, has just been COM
pleted by the ]. H. Haney plant here.
The manufacturers had five months
under the contract, which was for g.
600 sets of six-horse-team harness,
but they completed it IN just two and
one-third months. The work started
early in January and shipment to
England Of one carload per week has
been maintained
The harness is for use in the artil-
lery branch of the service and the
sets are simply but strongly made
The traces are short and are of wire
cable overlaid with leather.
The six-horse-teams in the artillery
service are driven two abreast, and to
unh.tch it is only necessary to unloose
the four wheel traces and unloose two
breast straps.

ing. the British spring drive" in

ity From a point near the Belgian
seacoast, southeastward to the yicin-
ity Of Lille Kitcheners army is
forcing the Germany back. The cen
ter of the attack is east Of Ypres,
where heavy fighting Is reported.
Already the capture of the import
ant height known as Hill so is re-
ported by Field Marshal French.
With fresh British troops arriving at
the front the main British force is
believed to be attacking the line
nOrthwrd in the region Of Ypres, to
a point beyond Pilken. The entire
line attack extends over a front Of
nearly 40 miles. 1t is accepted that
the present movement which is refer
red to officially as important is
the beginning of an attempt to re-
claim Belgium.
Should the present drive of the
British succeed in swinging back the
Germans from their present positions
In Belgium, they will be in grave
danger of being hurled back upon
their line of communications. This
will be of the greatest assistance to
the offensive being directed by Cen
eral Joffre and 1t is believed here,
might result in the expulsion of the
Germans from northeastern France
as well as Belgium. Extreme activ-
ity is being shown by the French in

STRANGE TALE HANGS
TO SCALP OF COYOTE

A few days ago Wade Blew, well
known dalryman of the reservation.
brought into the office of County
Clerk Sailing a coyote scalp and there
by hands a tale. Funny, but it's
true. The tale concerns a new and
modern method of killing wild ami
mails.
Mr.. Blew is an up-to-date dairy
man and delivers his milk to Pendle-
ton in an automobile He was re-
turning home one dark evening and
was speeding along the road near
the Sam Bittner place when the
headlights on his car showed him a
coyote standing in the road More
with the intention of soaring the an
imal than anything else. he swerved
his machine directly at the brute In
stead of lodging the brute, either
blinded by the lights or affected by
rabies kept its ground and the car
passed directly over It.
Quickly the driver reversed his
levers and backed the car over the
PROSTATE body and then, to make
sure of his prey, drove backward
and forward over the animal again.
Satisfied he got down and found the
animal dead. He brought the scalp
of the coyote and the tale of his ad-
venture to town on the next day.
