result riding in the open country for
longer distances still more pleasure
able. And that means more tourists
to pass through Nebraska in their
journeys along the Lincoln road.
Over one-temth of the entire dis
tance of the Lincoln Highway is i'll
Nebraska. The Lincoln way is about
$500 miles long. OF this over $50
miles are in Nebraska.
The road cuts Nebraska in the very
heart, travelling the entire distance in
the middle of the state.
The Lincoln Highway strikes Ne
braska at Omaha From the Gate
City ii proceeds directly west until it
meets the Platte river at Valley,
twenty-four miles out Of Omaha.
Then it follows the Platte stream all
the way to Big Springs, located at the
very border OF the state where Colo
RADIO touches. The distance between
Big Springs and Omaha is 1921 miles.
From Big Springs the highway cuts
into the corner OF Colorado, passing
through Julesburg and then west and

time at Chappell. From Chappell it
travels to Bushnell, which is just
across the Wyoming border. The dis
tance from Chappell to Bushnell is
III miles. Adding the two stretches
the total of Lincoln Highway in Ne
braska is 1902 miles. Nebraska has
more Lincoln Highway to keep up
than any other state in the union.
Nebraska need have no misgivings
over its share of the Lincoln way.
The 469-hlile stretch in this state
takes nothing from any of the other
states along the way.

summer and storms in the winter are

of the country and in almost every

hills, enough to relieve the monotony
of the country and add to its attrac.
tiveness and beauty. But the hills all
are OF the easily sloping variety
There are no steep grades or peril
Gus climbs to scale aud the motorists
finds little trouble making most OF
the hills on high"
Neither are there many dangerous
curves or grades crossings or other
elements which make motoring rather
tedious for the driver of the car and
sometimes dangerous for the occu-
pants. The Lincoln Highway is wide
road all the way across the state and
at no points arc there narrow
stretches where It is not possible for
two cars to pass without one or the
other taking to the ditch.
There are many little streams and
many cuts in Nebraska, but these are
all crossed by sturdy bridges and
present no difficulties to the motorist.
Route Carefully Marked.
1t is all easy matter to follow the
Lincoln Highway i'll Nebraska. From
one end OF the state to the other it is
marked on fhe telephone poles by red,
white and blue signs containing the
letter a." Almost every telephone
pole along the whole route is marked
and these signs are freshly painted

Torpedo Boat Chaser Hauls
Mitchell Car Out Of the Bay

A Mitchell automobile, lost in tram
sit while being ferried across Chesa.
peake bay, has been recovered BY
the torpedo boat destroyer Benham
When the torpedo destroyer lifted its
anchor, the automobile was found
caught in it.
When the torpedo boat destroyer
attempted to raise one of its big
anchors a couple of miles offshore in
Chesapeake bay recently, preparatory
to leaving its position near the sub
marine nets at the entrance Of the
bay, trouble was found in raising the
starboard hook. When the anchor
was finally hoi5ted on deck there came
along a fully equipped fve-passenger
Mitchell automobile. The top was
nearly all gone but the body and
chassis were in fairly good condition
after four years in salt water and
mud.
The Mitchell Motors Co., Inc, at
Racine, Wis, received notice of the
find and report that the car was lost
four years ago from the ferry boat
Berkeley as it wa, going across the
bay. 1t belongs to DR.. S. w. Hob
son, Newport News.

case damage the roads to some extent.
IFS an odds-on bet that at least half
dozen times a year storms will be
so severe as to wash out or submerge
the roads.
But for all this Nebraska keeps its
roads in pretty good condition and
seldom it is that the Lincoln Highway
is not traversable even by automobiles
which have difficulty in, moving unless
road conditions are the best.
So while other states have an ad-
vantage over Nebraska in that they
do not have to contend with the ele-
ments so often or so desperate, Ne
braska does not have to conCede to
them any superiority i'll the matter of
roads.
Many Points Of Interest.
There are a number of points OF in
terest along the Lincoln road. Very
excellent camp sites are numerous.
One of the prettiest is just outside OF
Omaha at Waterloo. Near the river
at Waterloo are a number of locations
excellent for motor parties to stop and
camp.
Fremont has novel camp site. 1t
is on Big Island in the Platte river.
Columbus, Grand Island, Lexington,
Gothenburg, North Platte, Kearney,
OgalIala, Bru1e, all have excellent
camp sites, where automobile parties
may spend comfortable night in the
open.
North Platte is one of the most III
teresting cities along the Lincoln way.
The late Buffalo Bills old ranch,
Scouts Rest" where Grand Duke
Alexis of Russia was entertained on
his buffalo hunt in 1872, is located at
North Platte, as is the Fort McPher-
son National cemetery.
Brule is a very little town, but 1t
has history. It is at Brule that the
old Oregon trail OF the '40s crosses
the Lincoln way.
Kearney has number of interest
Omaha daily bee., 1917-06-10

whenever they begin to fade. All
cross roads are marked so there Is no
danger of taking the wrong route.
The Lincoln Highway in Nebraska
is being improved every year. The
state, the, counties, the cities, the
town, the farmers along the way, all
are doing their part to make the road
better and better.
There may be stretches of road,
perhaps, in California, New York,
Ohio and Illinois that are a little bet
ter than anything Nebraska has to Of
fer, but taking It all in all and con-
sidering that Nebraska has the long
est stretch of highway of any state in
the country to maintain, the motor
ist must dof his hat to the Golden
Rod state for the excellence of its
469-mie strip of the great trans
continental highway.

LINCOLN ROAD
means MUCH TO
HUSKER State
Highway Across Continent
Brings Many Motor Touring
Parties and Their DOL
lars to Nebraska.

1t was fortunate day for Nebraska
when the promoters and directors of
the Lincoln Highway chose to route
the great transcontinental road
through the heart of Nebraska.
The Lincoln Highway has meant
much to the Cornhusker state. 1t
was only three years ago that this
ocean-to-ocean thoroughfare was
mapped out, but it already has be-
come the most popular automobile
route in the country. Hundreds of
motor parties each year tour from
east to west and west to east along
the Lincoln Highway, and many more
hundreds traverse it for shorter cross
country runs.
Records of Nebraska automobile
clubs show that since the Lincoln
Highway opened the number Of auto
mobile tourists travelling i'll Nebraska
has multiplied many fold. Tourists
mean much to a state, and especially
so do automobile tourists. The mo-
tor tourist travels in leisurely fash
ion. He seldom is in a hurry to ar
rive at his destination. He stops at
points he likes and he takes time to
see and enjoy :he country through
which he is travelling.
Brings Money to State.
The Lincoln Highway thus has at
tracted to Nebraska many who other
wise probably would not have come
by the way Of the Golden Rod state.
1t has called the attention of the mo-
toring world TO the great resources
and the importance of Nebraska, and
it has brought money into the state
through expenditures made by those
tourists passing through. =
The Lincoln Highway will prove Of
more and more importance TO Ne
braska as future years arrive. For
the Lincoln way will become moro
and more popular. Cross-country
touring is relatively new. 1t has been
only in the last year or so that meas
ures have been taken to make cross
country travel a pleasure. Further
improvements in roads and in auto
mobiles are bound to cope, and as

SCHOOL HAPPENINGS

The following persons availed
themselves of the opportunity
of bearing the excellent pro
gram given by the high school
literary society on last Friday
afternoon: Mr.. and Mrs En-
sign, Miss Emma Cole, and the
M d N e S Wilson, Woods,
Wells, and Kotts.
One of the best debates of the
season was given on the last
program. The question of the
rights of woman suffrage was
thoroughly threshed out and de.
cided in favor of the affirmative.
The women were defended by
Lester Wells and Harry Jones,
while Mary Helen Cassell and
Viola Olson denied them these
rights.
When a teacher does the re-
citing she is guilty of that pro,
verbally despicable act known
as taking candy from a baby
1t is well for the teacher to
consider what the boys and
girls of her school will be doing
in the year 1887 and how what
they are doing at time will be
related to what they and she are
doing today. Only so will she
be able to direct their activities
wisely and well in the present.
Her teaching should mean far
more to them than mere grades
and promotions. These are but
incidents along the way and
should never be accounted ma
jor The big thing is the i'm.
pulse that is to carry out into
the future and make them eff
fective.
Some of our school patrons
need be cautioned little in re

\ AMBITION
If you would rise above the throng
And seek the crown of fame,
You must do more than drift along
And merely play the game.
Whatever path your feet may tread.
| Whatever be your quest,
The only way to get ahead
| Is striving for the best.
'Tis not enough to wish to do
| A days toll fairly well;
| If you would rise to glory, you
| Must hunger to excel.
The boy who has the proper stuff
| Goes into every test,
Not seeking to be "good enough,
| But eager to be "best.''
| Aim high! And though you fail toda,
And may tomorrow fail,
Keep pounding steadily away,
Some day you'll hit the nail.
At no halfway mark ever pause
In snug content to rest,
Who would win honor and applause

SN NDlCA AIISM.

Syndicalism teaches oac thing that. above all else, is of vital worth. It is this; That talk is good but it takes action, direct action, to build a Brooklyn bridge or to spin a top. It shows us-and we should hcve seen it long ago-that, while the loafCrs do all the talking, we the toilers, do all the work, and 5h;a if they stopped talking for a thousand yeras the world would not be affected in the lc2st, except fo~ good. But il we stopped work ing for week, those who survived would never forget inc catastrophe.
 By our silent labor the world is led and clothed mad housed. ln our hands lie the destiIie3 of the world The rulers of the earth, with their gliteriag show power, of soldiers in eaudy dress, their navies and can
 on a:d all that, are merC toys to be tossed aside, if we but fold our arms and cease to feed them.

CAPITAL WITHOUT LABOR.

A prominent Capitalits newspaper has said
 Alone labor can accomplish no thing, labor must work in sym pathy w.th capital in order to help itse1 ana better the condition of those whose only capital is their la bor Capital can get along without labor fer better than labor can get along without capital"
 This is r:ch According to this logic the Almighty was very illog- ical when He told Adam to till the garden in days of old He should have told him tEat he couldn't do anything till he had created a cap ita!ist who would finance him and tcke away most Of what he pro duced. It would be really amusing to see capital get along without labor. Rather tragic, though. There would be nothing to eat and mo- thing to wear and no place of ahelter But, on the other hand, suppose all the capital" in the land w@s destroyed and all the ca plt:Iis,s should suddenly be dis solved into hot air, labor would thcr h2yc acess to all the tools of production and to all the land. and everyou" would have job when ever he wanted The world would be q thousandfoId richer and more "blc to feed and ciothc and shelter itself if there were no such things as capital" and cap:taliats. It is these that exploit the people. II is these that keep men from working instead of giving them work.

RICH AND POOR.

The present position which We, the educated and well-to-do classes. occupy is that of the Old Man of the Sea, riding on the poor mans back; only, unlike the Old Man of the Sea, we are very sorry for the poor man. very sorry; and we will do almost anything for the poor mans relief. We will not only sup ply him with food sufficient to keep him on his legs, but we will teach ard instruct him and point out the beauties 10 the landscapes; we will discourse sweet music to him and give him abundance of good advice Yes, we will do almost anything for the poor man but get off his back.

THE LABOR MOVEMENT.

We have learned to look upon the labor movement as an army.
 It is engaged in the bittcreat and most terrible conflict that the world has ever seCn--the dethrone- . nrnt of a ma ter class
 Ln this struggle the workers have opposed to them all the institutions that bolster and support the ruling class the army the law, the courts and the police. But the greatest obstacle the workers have to over come is the blighting influence of class morality
 With ethics and morality inven- ted 10 jdstify its existence, and pub l.c opinion to establish them, the ruling class has prostituted the in ,cllect of the workers until they no longer knew what is good for them. Urged on by f;.lse teach, the working class, in it's ignorance 1ld blindness spurns the weapons wEica will give it freedom.

Without revolutionary principle, industrial unionism is of little or no value to the workers.
 The power claimed for each craft to make separate terms with the employer is the fatal defect in the craft form of organization. It can 1evcr be remedied by any combi- nation or agreement between orga- nizations so long Gs it is allow ed to remain. Imagine, if you can all army in which the integral parts had autoromy to treat with the enemy and enter into peace pacts regardless of the whole. To learn it's fate you need only observe the craft uniors of the workers in the industrial wars of our time.

PAY WOMEN MEMS WAGES.

Pay women mems wages where they do mems work summarizes one section of the report of Mrs. R. A. Morton, president of the Wyoming state federation of wo- mems clubs, to the annual conven- tion.
 "Women who are replacing. men called to the colors," shcssaid Should receive equal pay for equal work, not only because that would be just but because that would be the only way in which the men re- turning after the war would receive their former employment at their former salaries"
 Mrs. Morton opposed lowering the workers standards, and in urg- ing a continuance of social reforms during the war period, said:
 Can you resist the appeal of a justify the labor of little children wEo so soon must take up the bur dens of reconstruction? Do not our schools need our support just the same? Are our laws so perfect that they cannot be improved? For 50 years the best people of our land nave urged every effort for higher standards of health, better schools, better industrial conditions.

Canadian Pacific Was the Storm Cen.
 ter, Falling SixsPoints.

New York, Oct 30.-External de- velopments were again the disturbing and uncertain influences in the stock market here today. Latest advtces showing the extent of the Italian de- feat were supplemented by the re- strictive measures adopted by the Ca hadian stock exchanges, appointment of a new German chancellor and pub 1ication of several unfavorable state ments of earnings, notably that of the Canadian Pacific road, which disclosed a net decrease of almost $1 100000 for September.
 Canadian Pacific was the storm center falling six points to 132 5S during the morning on the temporary suspension of operations in the Mon trea1 market. From this minimum the stock rallied to 1855 1-4. closing point under that quotation at a net loss of 3-8 points. Other rails, especially trans-continentals and the western di- vision yielded one to two points.

MORE INDUSTRIAL WORKERS
 OF THE WORLD HELL
Four More in New York Are to Be !!
 Removed to Chicago.

New York. Oct. '30.-E1izabeth Cur ley Flynn, Carlo Tresca, Arthur Gio- vanttti and John Baldazzi were held by a federal commissioner late today for removal to Chicago, where they are under indictment with William Haywood, of the Industrial Workers of the World, and more than 100 other persons on a charge of conspiring against the United States.
 The four defendants were released on bonds pending an order of removal.
 Commissioner Hitchcock, in his de- cfsion, declared that while it had been pretty clearly established that each of the defendants was in New York during substantially al. the period specified in the indictment" neverthe- less. 'it was rot necessary for either of them ever to have been in Chicago to be party to conspiracy organ izeds theret"..s,-- f---. --
 "one might be the leader of such conspiracy" the commissioner added, "wf,o hac never been far away from Berlin or Fotsdam."
 Commissioner Hitchcock disposed of the contention Of the defense that the four persons were not guilty, by de- ciding that this question was for de- termination by the court in which the indictment was found, and @is not matter of inquiry in removal proceed ings."

DAILY REPORTS ON FOOD
 PLEDGE CARD CAMPAIGN
Urged by Robert seovilIe, State Food
 Administrator.

Hartford, Conn, Oct. 3O.-To spur on town chairmen to make their daily re- rorts to headquarters in Hartford on the food pledge card campaign. State Food Administrator Robert Scoville to- night sent telegram to 19 of the larger towns of the state urging immediate filing of the days returns. Middlerown was the first to reply, where Miss Ma bel Armstrong. town chairman. re- ported 1917 signatures up to date. The towns quota is $500.
 While the return of pledge cards of the state now totals but about 10000, 1t is thought that at least 60.000 have been signed in the state and possibly the figure of 75.000 is not far from the actual total, but the delay in sending cards or reports makes the total sun- certain. In this state 100000 family pledges are sought
 Hartford stands second in the mat ter of cards returned, but it is known that thousands of unreported sigma lures have been secured in New Ha- ven. Bridgeport and Waterbury.
 It was announced by Administrator Scovil1e tonight that because of neces- sary delay in getting out the window ca rds to be given pledged families that in cases where these cards are not at once given out they will later be sent direct to all who are entitled to them.
