County Judge Wear and oth- CTS had been assisting the deaconess in the attempt to have the child ad- mitted to the Bonneville sanitarlum, but up to Thursday no word had come from the superintendent, so it was concluded that the guardian and ward should go to Bonneville in DppSOD

used during the next two weeks in
the big "Show-the- Car contest which
the franklin Motor. Car company of
Omaha is staging.
This is a national contest and will
be participated in by Franklin dealers

was conceived with the idea OF giving
every one, for the asking, ride in
Franklin car. No obligation is as
sumed. 1t is just part of scheme
to advertise the car.
Franklin dealers think that it is
worth a considerable amount to them
to demonstrate the, ,car to every one,
The unique construction, effecting
economy from every standpoint, is
bound to be impressive, and they want
to acquaint every one interested in
motor cars with the Franklin. Per-
sons who wish to avail themselves
Of this opportunity to see the Frank
lin in operation need but phone the

Dodge Bros. Commercial
Car Ready for Market

Dodge Brothers dealers in the
United States and Canada are Begin

car. Already this car has been pro-
claimed favorite in the commercial
field, and dealers are preparing for a
demand as heavy as that which has

products since they came on the mar
ket three years ago,
The building of the commercial car
saas influenced by the frequent and
consistent demand for Dodge Broth
ers chassis for commercial purposes.
The mechanical features of Dodge
Brothers standard touring car were so
we'll adapted to use for light CONNER
cial work that hundreds of business
concerns bought the chassis alone
and had special commercial bodies
built to suit their requirements.
Naturally, this practice led to de-
mand for light commercial car as a
part of the Dodge Brothers, regular

DeICo Service Station Will Y.
Distribute New Piston Rings

Announcement has been made by
r. c. Smith of the Dclco Exide serv-
ice station that it will distribute
American hammered piston rings in
Nebraska and Iowa.
"Piston rings" says Smith, "have
been the cause of much concern
among motorists and manufacturers.
So$ much waste and harm can be
caused by faulty piston rings that the
perfection of a perfect fitting piston
ring has been the aim of numerous
manufacturers for a considerable
time.
"The American Piston Ring COM
pany of Newark. N. j., has perfected
what believe to be an answer to the
question. The careful construction
and hammering process make the
American hammered piston ring an
even thickness and an even strength
at all points. This even construction
keeps the ring in perfect shape when
expanded and when contracted. There
is no warping."

AYERS AUTO MEN
have NO REASON
{ TO Be ALARMED
Omaha Dealer Says Industry
Has No Need to Be Appre-
hensive as to Govern
ment'S Plans.

J. NJ. Opper of the Jones-Opper
Motor company returned from the
REQ factory Saturday morning with
the news that the automobile situa-
tion is clearing up and that there is
no need for alarm among the numer-
Gus automobile dealers regarding the
position which the government will
take with regard to the passenger car
industry. t @ .
The plans of the government, ac-
9yding to R. H. Scott, vice president
skd manager of the REQ Motor Car
company, Lansing, Mich, have
changed materially, and instead of
finding it necessary to hamper the
manufacturers of passenger cars,
satisfactory plan has been worked out
which will enable the government to
foster and encourage them.
Use Machine Shops.
There are thousands of machine
shops located at various points
throughout the United States which
are equally we'll equipped to do much
Of the work outlined by the govern
nent for the automobile factories.
These machine shops are supplied
with first-class mechanical equipment
and labor and are anxious to get gov
crnment contracts. -
However, there is no inference that
the automobile manufacturers are not
Filling to sacrifice everything to ai6
fac government. They have already
pledged themselves and stand ready
to answer any government request.
1t is an economic necessity, how
ever, to keep the automobile industry
in sound, healthy condition. There
are Upward Of $4,000 automobile. deal
ers in the United States.
To disrupt this large organization
would mean crippling the third indus
try in-the United States.
Do Everything Possible
After carefully considering the
question, the government officials, ac-
cording to Scott, have agreed to do
everything possible to aid the auto,
mobile men and not to take drastic
action which would lead to cutting
off the supply of passenger cars.
The present plan, according to
Scott, will not call for a definite cut
in production, but will allow the man
ufacturers to proceed as before. 9Pro-
duction will only be cut in case of
Necessity, and in view OF the possibil-
tiles offered in the many machine
shops througout the country, the out
look is bright.
