later he established the Rees Printing

the end. This he built up from a
small one-man plant to one Of the
really big printing establishments Of
the west. His brother, Thomas Rees
of the Illinois State Register, pub
liShed at Springfield, Ill.,, often Wis
tied him in Omaha.

"As one leaves the Country Club the

Of the trip are the falls, where the

The Chinese lady called II "the

On the top of the Pail at the ka-

A number nine wind was blowing at a

do not believe there is anything in
all American industrial life as tragic
as the tendency on the part Of the
public to regard the automobile as a
pleasure vehicle. You can reason
from positive and unmismtakabl
hypothesis to the logical conclusion
that If it were not for the automobile
industry Of America, America, under
three years. probably could not be-
come an effective factor in the world
war. With the help Of aircraft, manu-
factured by its automobile industry,
America within q year, viii be the
one great deciding factor which shall
bring the kaiser to his knees where
all else has failed.
And still they go on calling the
automobile pleasure vehicle, and the
