THE SCHOOL EXHIBIT
A DECIDED SUCCESS

The school exhibit held last Friday
afternoon on the first floor of the
main building and in the kindergart.
en- room proved decided success in
every way, all exhibits being very in
teresting to the many visitors. A
large number of the parents visited
the school during the afternoon, 1876
registered their names, while many
others failed to do so.
The work done in the different
grades was grand indeed and the pu-
pills deserve much credit and especial
mention, but space will not permit us
to give in detail the different exhibits.
The little tots, only about FIVE years
old, in the kindergarten, did excep-
well and had a fine display,
the barnyard scene being a real work
of art, of which their teacher may
well be proud. The teachers and pu-
pills certainly worked hard to make
the exhibit the success 1t proved to
be. That they worked hard to make
the exhibit of 1916 one of the best
ever given at the school, there is not
the least doubt. The work is not play
but hard, earnest work, and of a
scholarly and enlightening nature.
The progress made by the pupils
from year TO year is easily noticeable
when the work done by different
grades is placed side by side. Hot cof-
fee and fine lunch was served to
any caring to take advantage OF the
refreshments.

CADILLAC TRAIN LOAD
FOR THIS TERRITORY
Big Shipment Enlivens Automobile
Circles From One End of
State to the Other.

1.-The growth of the Cadillac in this
section has been along conservative
lines" said George f. Rein, presi-
dent of the Cadillac company. ut
| is q permanent growth. There is no
fiuctuation in the demand for the
Cadillac. There is the steady, stable,
year-in-and-year-out Cadillac demand
to begin with-a very large number
who automatically lcpeat.
while a trainload of fifty high
grade cars may seem to be very large
and as a matter of fact it is very
large, this company does not view it
in the light OF sensation, nor do
the manufacturers. It's only what
might have been expected-indeed,
| it was expected. The Cadillac is a
car of prestige-prestige based upon
the peoples regard for sound princi-
ples--sound in the selection of raw
material, sound in the selection
of skilled men to design and to build
it, sound in the claims for superiority
sound in marketing it. Cadillac pres
Itige grows greater. Mechanical in
novations which have shot across the
automobile horizon electrtfying 1t mo-
mentarily, and passing out like a
meteor, have only stimulated the peo-
pies admiration for the Cadillac, and
made its sterling qualities more re-
splendent than ever before.
IF its policies have been at any
time challenged by over-zealous COM
petitors, it's growth has at no time
been checked by their high-grade
product.
THUS far, Cadillac sales have
reached in this country $4,000 cars,
approXimating in sales value $65, 600
000, This surpasses the sales of any
high grade car yet built.
THE people of Nebraska and of
Omaha have shown their confidence
in this company and the Cadillac by
preferring it, and we felt thai the
hour had arrived for us to strain ev-
cry point to make this years supply
more nearly meet this years demand
than formerly. Consequently, we have
brought to the state shipment much
larger than ever before, and urge
the people to make their selections
now.
I'm former years, in spite of our
appeals, many have delayed buying
until too late, and as consequence,
have gone without the car of their
choice"

sents the Cadillac company In this

suFFRAGE LECTURE AT GRAY

Mrs. Ella s. Stewart, of Chicago.
gave one of the most fitting Sunday
addresses in the Gray M. e. church
last Sunday. Had she been fully
ordained minister, her address would
have been called fine sermon. A
scholar could not have done better.
In very attractive way she gave the
history of how woman has been pri-
vileged to enter one field after anoth-
err, being patient under the handicap
placed over her, by not allowing her
the same privileges and when these
privileges that were denied her were
granted. she has never disappointed
those who granted the step forward.
Her appeal was. that since the men
did not prevent her from the pri-
Ivileges they enjoyed, that they would
on June 5 give themselves one big
thing to be always glad Of, and that
was to lift the political rights of wom-
en- to that of men.
In spite of the rain, Mrs. Stewart
had good audience. They went
home well pleased with the chance OF
the privilege of helping their own
mothers. wives and daughters. to step
up beside them in deciding the great
things of the community, and State,
and Nation.
