Fairbury Men Say "
Great Western Wants
To Run in Nebraska

Fairbury, Neb., March l.-(Special
Telegram. ANNOUNCEMENT was made
yesterday here that the Kansas City &
Northwestern railway had passed
from the hands of the receiver and
that the new officers were all Chicago
Great Western men. Fairbnry men
recall that this road was built in the
early sos as branch of the Missouri
Pacific railway, starting at Wyan-
dotte, Kan, and hating at Virginia,
over in Gage county. 1t. was the in
tention of this railroad at that time
to build the road on through to Fair
bury and west.
The Chicago Great Western, rail-
road men here say, has long been
DESTROYS of crossing the Missouri
river with a line that would eventually
reach the coast, and for years had its
eyes on the ST. Joseph & Grand Is
land, passing through Fairbury, but
since the Union Pacific took over this
railroad the idea was abandoned.
Certain Fairbury men have secured
inside information that since the
Great Western has secured this road
as far as Virginia eventually the line
may be extended.
Fairbury is already division head
quarters for the Rock Island and is
laying wires for any other roads that
may pass by.

Chalmers Pulls Engine
Up Steep Hill to Fire

Or.e of the most enthusiastic visit
ors at the auto show is Alva Able of
Fullerton, Neb. He tells an interest
ing story Of an experience he had last
week. 'E ....
The imposing edifce on the sum-
nit of Mt. Jehu, Ugh hill directly
west Of Fullerton, caught fire one
night last week. The road ascending
the hill is so very steep and rough,
due to washouts, that it was prob
lem for long time as to how to get
the heavy hose cart and fremen to
the top Of the hill in time to make
their work effective. 1t was solved
by Mr.. Able, who attached his Chal-

Iowa Probably
Will Discontinue
Track Athletics

Iowa City, Ia, March 1.--(Special.)
Track athletics at Iowa probably
will be abolished this spring by &C
ton of the athletic board unless stud
ents rally to the support of the sport.
Action taken by the board yesterday
afternoon called meeting of presi-
dents of student organizations and
classes for some evening next week.
At this meeting member of the
board will present the situation.
The facts are that Iowa has lost be-
tween $1,000 and $4,000 each year for
the last six years in this branch of
athletics. While track is also a los
ing proposition at other schools, most
of them have some glory and honor
to show for the expense. Iowa has
won one dual meet in the last six
years, beating Drake in 1918. In
state and conference meets the Hawk
eyes have never ranked high.
The meeting of students next week
will be asked to undertake getting
men out for track. If sufficient inter-
est is shown, then the sport will be
tried again this spring. If not. it is
probable that three weeks will see
the end of track athletics at Iowa
for the present.

MAXWELL'S RECORD
ON SWAMP ROADS
Traverses Florida Boys for
Long Distance With Won
derful Endurance.
HE SETS UP NEW MARK

Tampa, Fla, March Taking a
rouSe that involved the risk OF sinking
out of sight in the great Withlachoo-
chez swamp in central Florida il his
motor stopped, Percy w. Gibbs, De-
troit automobile driver, this week
established a remarkable new motor
car speed and endurance record for
the 276 miles between here and Jack
sonville and attained the distinction
of having been the first man to cross
Florida's second greatest bog locality
in an automobile.
Gibbs used a Maxwell touring car
on the run and he carried three pas
sengers besides himself.
The route through the twenty-five
miles of chez swamp cuts twenty-five
miles off the distance between the
two largest Florida cities.
Gibbs left Jacksonville at | a. m.
and was in Tampa at the start of the
business day. The total distance COW
cred was 276 miles, and this his car
negotiated without car or motor stop.
His average for the run was approx
mately forty miles an hour.
The route through the twenty-five
miles of swamp was made with the
aid of Seminole Indian native and
guide, who piloted the car from high
spot to high spot and whose final
caution to the driver was to avoid
allowing the car to stop at any point
within the water logged district. FIRE.
quently the car was in water holes
two feet deep, while water stretches
axle-deep often continued half mile
or more. There is no sign of life
in the gunfle other than the alligators,
their native reptile companions and
the tropical birds.

CutaWay Chassis
Of Chalmers Motor
Interesting Exhibit

One of the most interesting exhibits
at the auto show is stripped cutaway
chassis of the Chalmers $50 which is
lectured on for the Western Motor Car
company by Al Wingert of Detroit,
one of the old timers in the automo-
bile game, and one of the best posted
authorities in automobile lore.
Mr.. Wingert has been making the
show circuit for years and has per-
sonal acquaintance with every man,
woman and child who has been con-
nected with the automobile industry
in the show cities. -.
"Of all the shows l have made this
year, Omaha is equal to the best of
them. Chicago and New York have
been no better except in size. And
the interest shown by the dealers and
retail prospects in the Chalmers chas-
sis exceeds at Omaha anything | have
seen elsewhere says Mr.. Wingert.
The stripped chassis is one Of the
most imposing, and incidentally, one
of the most expensive mechanical ex-
hibits that has been shown on the cir
cult this year. To one with mech
anical mind it cannot help but appeal.
1t shows in detail every part of the
mechanism, no matter how minute,
Just as it moves and works under
road conditions. The parts of the
mechanism are enclosed in glass,
others are cut away entirely, the en-
tire mechanism is operated by an cleo
trio motor
One sees the immense 97-pound
0lrome Nickel crank shaft revolve on
its exceedingly large bearings, sees
the sturdy gears shifting from speed
to speed on their heavy Hyatt bear
ings; the easy vibrationless action OF
the l2-ounce Ignite pistons, and all
the other mechanical details which
generally are hidden from the view OF
the buyer.

REMEDIES FOR "CHIGGERs."

If bath in hot water, or in water
containing salt or strong soap, is taken
within a few hours after exposure in
shrubbery and weeds infested with
"chiggers" or red bugs" no i'll effects
will be experienced. After a long ex.
posure, however bath has practically
no effect, and direct remedies are
necessary.
After irritation has set in, and small
red spots appear, the application of a
moderately strong solution of ammo.
MIA to the affected parts is recon-.
nended by the Department of Agri,
cultures entomologists. A supersatu-
rated solution of bicarbonate of soda,
or common cooking soda or saleratus,
will afford relief. Liberal applications
should be made until the irritation
subsidies. If the suffering is severe, a
diluted tincture of iodine or collodion
should be lightly applied.

POSTMASTER TO BE LIFETIME
JOB IN VERY NEAR FUTURE

Washington, March 2S-In very
short time your local postmaster will
become a civil service official with a
job for life at a good salary In other
words, being postmaster will become
his business just as being a consul is
the life business OF a member OF the
consular service.
II is probable that in future elabOr-
ations OF the plan he will be trans
ferred from city to city, where his
business ability will be utilized in re-
organizing the postal service, just as
a consul is subject to transfer to other
posts. All of this, of course, is based
on the presumption that he is willing
10 remain in the service and give his
time and talent to it. II he chooses,
he may exercise the American privi-
lege of resigning.
April l is the date set for the con.
version of presidential postmasters in

AS To Examinations

The member, who is a Democrat,
vas anxious to learn whether incum-
bent postmasters who have made good
records would have to stand a civil ser
vice examination open to all comers.
This is a point on which many Demo
cratic members have been seeking
light The postmaster general said:
81 will read the order to you so that
you may know its exact contents"
Reaching into a drawer the post
master general pulled out a typewrit
ten copy of the order and handed it
to the member of congress to read.
The order stated that from and af-
ter April /, 1917, whenever a vacancy
shall occur in any postoffice of the
first, second or third class by reason
of death, resignation or removal, a
civil service examination shall be held
tc fill it and the person making the
highest grade on examination shall DC
appointed.
There is nothing in the order re.
quiring a presidential postmaster VINO
hos made a good record to take a
civil service examination, Nor is there
any provision for the holding of a
civil service examination when the
:our years commission of a presiden.
tial postmaster expires.
Order to Be Issued.
There have been many 'doubting
nomasses" who have felt that the
much-talked of executive order will
not be put into effect. They have
been loath to believe that such a
sweeping change in the postal system
is really imminent. But when these
!oubting ones go to the postoffice de-
partment for enlightenment they are
convinced that the reform is at hand.
THE executive order will be issued
on April l as sure as fate" is the re-
ply which the department officials in
variably make to their queries.
The department chiefs iRsist that
the postal service will be greatly i'm
proved by blanketing into it perma-
nently efficient postmasters who have
demonstrated business capacity.
