ENelANp's CAMPAIGN ON saw
ING.

One OF the great lessons TO come
from the present worldwide war is
the wholesome lessons In thrift and
saving Il IL grinding into the people.
Necessity now forces them to be
thrifty. to make every edge cut, to
save IN every way possible and these
lessons will not soon be forgotten.
They will be helpful. not only to the
nations engaged in war. but to all 9th
ers as well. Mr.. John NJ. Askison.
q noted writer on all phases OF the
subject OF thrift. has this TO say con-
corning the campaign for saving be-
ing waged In England:
what systematic, regular saving
can accomplish is being pointed out
to the English people by the British
parliamentary war savings committee.
body formed to encourage snbscrip'
tons to the great war loans placed at
home.
"A striking paragraph from one cir
cular sent out is this;
"'No saving is too small to count
n 100000 people save an average
OF even half a crown l60c) week.
the total is huge-it means nearly
800, 100000 pounds sterling (sl,i0i,-
ooo.Ooo) a year"
Here is sum nearly three times
the size OF the recent record-breaking
half billion dollar loan made by this
country 10 England and France. SO.
n England undertook TO repay that
loan In one year II would mean that
each inhabitant would have TO set
aside only zoe week.
mo wonder that the British farlia.
mentary committee emphasizes In its
circulars such small economies as
these:
"'Eat less meat
"Be careful with your bread.
"'waste nothing. To waste food
Is as bad as TO waste ammunition.
"'save especially In all things
which have TO be imported-food and
drink OF all kinds, petrol tgasoline)
rubber. etc.
"'Use home products wherever pos
sible. and be careful even with these
"If you possibly can. grow YOU

ing that ought to have wide circula
ton not alone In England and the 9th

thrift n. after the ending Of the En-
rupean conflict. we are not to suffe

GET RID OF sTuMPs NOW.

The desire for the removal Of the
stumps, which will only come from a
full realization Of the loss which re-
suits from their presence. is the first
and most important step toward
their removal. II our readers recog-
nized the Importance Of lager and
better implements in enabling them
to cultivate their crops more econom-
ically. the desire for the removal OF
the stumps would soon find methods
for their removal. The large land
owner and the community OF small
farmers who have the spirit Of coop
Grafton will find the stump puller OF
great value. at least for stumps up 10
eighteen inches In dismeter. and for
larger stumps dynamite and fire. &C
cording to the kinds Of stumps and
other conditions. will usually be found
the most economical methods. but
methods must be largely determined
by conditions. and as stated. the I'm.

and other similar distractions will

A train of solid Pullmans, carrying
to Toledo a portion of the 5000 deal
ers who will take in the dealers con-
vention of the Willys-O Overland COM
>pany, will leave Omaha at 10 o'clock
Mis- morning over the Rock Island.
Another special will leave Council
Bluffs at approximately the same
hour, both trains arriving in Chicago
at midnight, leaving shortly there-
after for Toledo. .
This convention is said to be with
out a precedent in respect to size.
Twenty-eight special trains will be
required to carry the various parties
during the nineteen days from De-
Cember 4 to g.
At Toledo the visitors will have a
chance to see the new models in the
comprehensive line of Overland and
Willys-knight cars, and to examine
the processes of the wonderful plant
in which they are produced. The trip,
it is said, will be an object lesson. in
the enterprise and stability of the
company. Extensive programs, both
for entertainment and for educational
work, have been planned. At Toledo
every member of the party will be a
guest of the Willys-Overland COM

hardest on tires of any track in the
country.

scented Dario Resta. the 1916 cham
pion, with a beautiful floral tribute

YOUNGEST DEALER
TO ERECT BUILDING
G. w. Francis Finds This Will
Give Growing Patronage
Best Results.
MAXWELL SALES INCREASE

Mute testimony OF the growth of
the c. w. Francis Auto Co.'S opera
tons will soon be evidenced by the
erection Of two-story, new, whole
sale and service station of the most
modern type at 22l2-l4 Harvey street.
The new building will be erected at
an approximate cost Of $4,000.
According to c. w. Francis, no
means are to be spared in making
this the most completely equipped
service station in the country. Mr..
Francis recently made a trip to vari-
Gus eastern points for the purpose of
inspecting numerous service stations.
Five thousand dollars is to be spent
for special machinery designed to
expedite the handling of repair and
service work.
In speaking of service Francis
claims that efficient, prompt service
is, in his judgment, the surest way
to a motorists heart "A satisfied
customer is a big asset and we are
determined to- keep our customers
satisfied" said Mr.. Francis.
One of the novel specifications
called for in the plans of the new
building is an electrical control of all
doors. All the big doors will be
opened and closed by means of an
electric push button.
1t is of considerable interest to
note the rapid growth of the Max
we'll sales under the direction of c.
w. Francis. Two years ago Mr..
Francis started at 2O24 Farnam street
with a show and service room, EN-
bracing 1900 square feet. About the
first of the year the C. W.. Francis
AutoeGo. moved 10 22l6-l8 Farnam
street, the present location, which
embraces l092O square feet of floor
space.
The erection of the new wholesale
and service station which will, for
the present, be an addition to the re-
tail show room at 22l6-l8 Farnam
street, will make the total $4,000
square feet of floor space. W.,
Francis is said to be the youngest
distributor of automobiles in Omaha.

douglas Takes on
Milburn Electric

Announcement has just been made
by G. Z. Douglas of the Electric gar
age that he has taken on the mil
burn Light Electric manufactured by
the Milburn Wagon company of To-
lcdo, o.
Douglas visited the Milburn factory,
making a complete investigation of
the merits of their product, which he
asserts satisfied him that the Milburn
possessed all features and possibilities
necessary to make the car a pro-
nounced success.
Two of the striking features of the
Milburn are its exceptionally light
weight and its batteries. Instead of
carrying forty cell batteries with thir-
teen plates each, it has but twenty
five batteries with seventeen plates
each. This, it is claimed, gives the
same power, but effects a considera-
bic saving in the cost of renewing the
batteries.
The new models are smart-looking
and designed in very good taste. Ac-
cording to Douglas they are creating
much favorable comment wherever
shown

OMAHA IS CENTER
. OF GREAT HIGHWAY
George Washington National
Boulevard Will Run From
Seattle to Savannah.
is OF HISTORIC INTEREST

From Seattle, Wash, to Savannah,
Ga, on Roman road by 1920; that
is the hope of the optimistic citizens
who are working to make possible
the George Washington National
Highway. Omaha will be in the
middle of the road, the very heart OF
the traffic artery. The highway will be
1929 miles long, and will cross or
connect with every other national
highway in the United States.
The men behind the movement
whose national headquarters are in
The Bee building, are confident that
their pet project just can't help being
the greatest transcontinental high
way in the country. They have a
legion OF ready reasons back OF this
belief, eight of which are:
|. 1t has move even elevation re-
sistance than any other national
highway in the United States.
3 1t goes through more large cities
Ivan any other national highway.
). There are eleven United States
government forts and one arsenal on
il.
4. There are three National parks
on it.
5. There arc more historical cities
and places of interest on the route
than on any other road
3, 1t is the only national highway
running northwest and southeast
across the country.
7, 1t offers the tourist in any zone
the logical road to climatic varia
tons and the pleasures they bring.
3. The country needs such road
Practical Plans.
Dreaming never built a boulevard
and the men behind the George
Washington highway know it. Prac-
teal plans prevail with them. Already
they have made contracts with some
OF the cities along the route by which
the municipalities agree to pay GER
tain amounts for the. building of the
road. One-half of the amounts speci-
fed in l'le contracts is payable to the
national headquarters in The Bee
building in Omaha and the other hall
is to be kept by the community for
use in marking the road through their
\own district. Some of the records fol-
low:
