Hupp Stands Test Well
When Put to Hard Task

at is interesting to note in the
Summary Booklet Of 1916 Automobile
Contests, recently issued by the con-
test board of the American Automo-
bile association, the numerous tests
that automobiles have been put to-"
asserts G. H. HOUSTON, manager OF
the Hupmobile Company of Nebraska.
"Just by way of comparison, look
at the Hupp records, covering the Al
bany to Buffalo economy run and the
Fort George hill climb trial. The Fort
George Hill is one of the stiffest
climbs in the country. Many cars do
not attempt to climb it even on low
gear. The Hupmobile went up this
hill on high gear and was doing bet
ter than fifteen miles an hour at the
top. This was the touring car, stock
and standard in every particular,
without special adjustments of any
kind and very much overloaded"

Original VeIie Car Is
Secured by the Factory

Sometime ago we told the story of
the original Velie car built in the early
days OF the industry, car whose
whereabouts was unknown, but which
had been discovered in the hands Of
J. G. Reuter-. commission merchant
of Peoria, Ill. .
"Old Maud's" mileage has caused
the death of three speedometers, but
it has valiantly held its course in spite
of the on-rush of new and wonder
fully improved models and never felt
the need OF a towline in its entire
career.
Some days ago the Peoria Velie
dealer sold Mr.. Reuter- late model
Velie Biltwel Six and obtained posses
sion of MAUD" for the factory. The
car was driven overland to Moline
without a mishap or delay and now
rests serenely in the showroom; an
interesting evidence of the wonderful
progress made in automobile building
these years.

Ford Advises Car Owners
To Have Motors 0Verhauled

Most motor car owners consider all
the-year driving as matter of course
and would as soon think of stopping
eating in the winter as putting their
:ars away on account of cold weather.
Spring, however, does have some
significance for automobiles. 1t
means that the days of long drives
through the country are almost at
hand and every driver, whether ex-
perienced or a novice, wants his car
in the best possible shape to take ad-
vantage of the good roads. The time
to make ready is before the roads are
in shape.
Even though the car has been CIV
ing consistent satisfaction all winter,
it is a good idea to go carefully over
the tires, in search of worn or weak
spots. :,
The Ford company is advising Ford
owners to take their cars to the near
est Ford agency and service station
for a spring overhauling. In every
branch city there are several author
lied Ford agencies, while 10000 more
are scattered over the United States.

Old FRIENDS MEET
ON BATTLE FRONT
Employees of Federal Rubber
Company Find Each Other
Again When Two Are
Taken Prisoners.

New evidence that, after all, the
world is a very small place, comes
almost daily to the surface, and the
following incident illustrative of this
saying is rather unusual and decid-
edly interesting echo from the world S
great battle front.
1t is the case OF three men, all for
eign-born, and who in the natural
course OF events are thrown together
in one OF the great industrial plants
Of this country. One is an Italian,
Dominick Gregoreio, who came to
this country before the beginning OF
the war to seek his fortune. The
other two men are Austrians. All
three found employment at the plant
Of the Federal Rubber company,
Cudahy, Wis, and became fast friends.
Now Dominick was the sole support
of an aged mother, whom he lett be-
hind in sunny Italy, and when subse..
quently there came letter telling OF
the mothers declining health and the
need for the presence and comfort OF
her son, Dominick dutifully packed
his worldly belongings, bade his
friends hasty farewell and sailed tor
home.
At the opening Of the war DomlI,,
nick responded to his countrys call
and went to the front. Some time
later, when Gorcia was captured and
prisoners were being brought in IRON
the enemy's lines, among the first
were Dominick's old friends, the two
Austrians. In a letter to another
friend at the Federal Rubber COM
paws plant Dominick said he was
very glad to meet his old friends. even
though strictly speaking they were
his enemies, and in the hearty hand,
shaking that followed the reunion Of
these three men there was no evi,
dence of war, or strife, OF, enmlty, and
each expressed regret that through
the fortunes or misfortunes OF wal
they, as old-time friends, had been
Obliged TO shoot at each other.

Sergeants at Meade
Reduced For Breaking
Military Camp Law

Camp Meade, Md, Dec. 14.-Ser-
geant Glenn Payne, of the Second
training battalion, and Sergeant Sam
Pasin, of the Seventeenth training
battalion of the 154th depot brigade,
have been reduced to the ranks and
sentenced to be confined at hard la
bor for six months and to forfeit
two-thirds of their pay for a like
period for infractions of the mill
tary regulations.
They were arraigned before a gen.
eral courts-martial here some weeks
ago, but it was not until this after
noon that the findings were publish
ed.
Sergeant Payne was charged with
desertion. The testimony in the case
showed that he was transferred
from the Regular Army to the Ma
tional Army and assigned as an in
structor with the Seventy-ninth di-
vision. After he reported here he
did not like the environments and
without consulting any one packed
his bag and returned to his old sta
ton, where he emphasized the fact
that he was a regular and wanted to
remain with the regulars.
At trial the charge was changed
and he was found guilty of absenting
himself without leave. He spent
more than a month in the guard
house, and the reviewing officer de-
Quoted this from the sentence.
Sergeant Pasin was found guilty of
attempting to eXtort money for his
own use from members of the Sew
enteenth training battalion by or
dering acting Corporal John How
ard Eckels to collect from each
member 81 or more and to turn the
money over to him and report the
names of those who did not con-
tribute.
Several court findings are to be
published within the next few days,
and it is said that many men who
were found guilty of desertion were
dealt with severely.

HE SHOULD BE LOYAL

A man of German descent was
talking too loudly on Commercial
street yesterday for his own good. He
wanted to bet s 900 that Germany
would whip all Europe and Uncle
Sam. He will make that kind of
talk to the wrong party some day,
and get thrown into jail. 1t is only
natural for Germans living in this
country and having kin in Germany
to deeply regret that Germany and
this country are at war, but no Ger
man here has right to say and hope
that Germany will whip this country.
III this country is free enough in law
and fertile enough in soil to give for
eigners here q chance to become in
dependent and wealthy and happy,
then this country is also good enough
to be entitled to the support of all
people who enjoy its bountifulncss.
Any hot-headed foreigner here
should calm his nerves and keep his
mouth shut long enough to use his
brain and recall that no one invited
him to come to this country, and for
that reason he has no right to remon-
strate II this country sees fit to do as
1t please. No foreigner should come
to this country with the view of run
ming this country according to the
views of the people whom he left. He
should enter this country with the
view OF becoming a part of this coun-
try and entering into the spirit of
this country. If that is not his atti-
tude, he should never leave his ma
tive land. This item is written by an
American whose grandparents were
born In Germany, and he recalls that
this country and its laws and soil
were mighty kind to them, and they
never felt inclined to return to the
Fatherland.-Atch Globe.
