Persistent Speed Menaces.

An anonymous letter was received
by the club asking that action be tax
en- to prevent persistent speeding and
reckless driving on the streets. Cit
zen" Gas the person signed himself)
enclosed clipping regarding the arrest
of Al Schultz twice in recent weeks
on a speeding and reckless driving
charge. In answering to Citizen"
the club advises that everything pos
sible has been done to induce the
courts to keep a record of speeding
charges so that they can tell who
is who when a person comes UP. A
maximum fine for second offenders
might help stop the trouble. A city
ordinance might be passed providing
fine for first and second offense,
with jail sentence for a third time up,
or better still, revocation Of license
for a certain period.

Is = shame to allow good machinery
to deteriorate through negligence.
The use of good graphite grease
in universal joints will give far mora
mileage than ordinary cup grease. Ii
this connection, it is absolutely essen
tial to screw the plug IN tight afte,
filling to prevent otherwise unavoid
able leakage.
Practically all ignition, starting
and lighting troubles can be avoided
by having the storage battery tested
at fortnightly intervals and by check
ing up once a month or so to make
sure that all the electrical connec.
tions are snug"

Club Motor Topics
Oppose Center Parking

A discussion of the board Of d.
rectors of the Omaha Automobile
club at the board meeting on We'd
nesday on the merits of curb and GEN.
ter of the street parking of autos, re-
suited in a recommendation to the
city commissioners to abolish all CEN
ter of the street parking for the fol-
lowing reasons:
/ On streets where the long time
central parking is allowed, curb park
ing for 30-minute periods is also al
lowed, and as result the entire street
is congested
8 On streets where center Of the
street parking is allowed. the danger
element is increased to both car pull
ing out of parking space and to car
passing with flow of traffic
; Traffic is slowed down consider
ably by center of the street parking
on many streets
To Stop Stealing
The attorney general of Nebraska
writes the Automobile club as fol-
lows: "The county attorney of any
county in Nebraska can file COM
plants and can compel Car owners, as
any other witness. to appear and tes-
tify, and can arrest and hold, if neces-
sary, for such purpose" If the car
owners of Omaha are in earnest in
their desire to prosecute thieves they
may stand firm for posecutlon
Protest Tax
The American Automobile associa-
ton, with which the Omaha Automo-
bile club is affiliated, has protested to
Hon. Claude Kitchen, chairman of the
ways and means committee, on the
proposed tax on machines now in
operation and on gasoline
The A. A. A. protests on the point
that the taxation hits the compare
lively poor man who is using his car
for strictly business purposes. Fur
ther, the A. A. A. protests against
tax on automobiles unless a similar
tax is levied against all other forms of
transportation. T.
The tax on a gallon OF gasoline. the
A. A. A. believes, will not bring in
the revenue anticipated. for the reason
that the revenue will depend on the
mileage, and the tax of 10 cents will
compel thousands of owners to store
their cars rather than pay the extra
cost. This storing of cars would de-
feat the urgent demand pf the gov
ernment that car owners use their cars
as much as possible for business pur-
poses to relieve railroads Of the short
haul stuff.
Auto Service Flag.
The Omaha Automobile club has
ordered service flag with star tor
each of the so members now in the

ly regretted in his community.

LIMESTONE FOR FARMERS

In increasing our wheat acreage this
fan it is Of vital Importance that we
get the highest WELD possible. To
get the highest yield, many things
will have to be taken into considera-
ton, and one Of these things is lime
stone. Mr.. Chas. N. Brumfield, who
is with the development bureau Of the
Illinois Central railroad, was in our
office Thursday morning, and prom
ises the fullest cooperation Of the
railroad in securing this very neces-
sarv fertilizer. Mr.. Brumfield states
that it will cost in the neighborhood
Of $3.50 per ton, F. Q. B. Covington'
and that it can be used economically
up to $500 per ton. Two tons to
tie acre should be used. On most
land where the crop is to be legume,
especially red clover and al
falfa. lime is almost indispensable i
the highest yield is to be obtained
For wheat it is as necessary
Take an inventory Of your farm ana
see how many tons you wall need
The development bureau, Of which
Mr. c. Haydock is agent, will endeay-
OF to facilitate early deliveries #
your needs are made known at once.
The cooperative plan is the most
economical way Of securing lime
stone. Talk to your neighbor about
the use of limestone and get him
TO put in bis order with you. Our
wheat acreage is going to be increased
100 per cent. Let's put forth every
effort to get the highest yield possible
per acre.

MAY USE HOME CANNING
CERTIFICATES FOR WHOLESALE

The food administration has made
announcement that it will now be
permissible for wholesalers to accept
from retailers home canning and pre-
serving affidavits for sugar, in lieu
of sugar certificates.
Such affidavits should be sent to
the administration headquarters for
exchange for certificates, and should
be accompanied by statement from
the retailer that the sugar supplied
on these affidavits was sold for cam
ming and preserving purposes only,
This will make it unnecessary for
the wholesaler to return to the re-
taller for endorsement, certificates
issued in exchange for home canning
and preserving affidavits which had
been sent to the wholesaler in lieu
of sugar certificates, and will no doubt
facilitate the handling of this sugar.
Great care must be taken to keep
the home canning affidavits so han
died separate and apart from those
received from merchants who pur-
chased sugar under the permission
granted in the wire of July 10, and
which was cancelled July 25, in order
that the record may be kept straight,
and when possible, the merchants af-
fidavits should accompany the home
canning and preserving affidavits
when sent to headquarters for ex-
change of certificates.

MORE THAN SYMPATHY NEEDED

Secretary Lansing said yesterday that the United States government views with "earnest sympathy" the nationalistic aspirations of the Czechs and Slovaks and of the Jugo Slavs.
 Earnest sympathy is good, but it is not enough. It is time the American government and the American people understood and acted upon the abso- lute community of interests between these little nations and ourselves. The Czechs-Slovaks and the Jugo Slavs are the outposts of our own liberties. If they are free, our own freedom is secure. If they are left slaves of the Hapsburgs, who in turn have come to be but puppets of the Hohenzollerns, then that family of congenial criminals will be able, after season of recuperation, to begin again it's scheming for world mastery and the whole weary struggle will have to be fought anew.
 There are nearly 30,O00,000 Slavs and Latins in Austria Hungary. All of them hate both Hohenzollern and Hapsburg. All of them long to be free from savage dominion of Teuton and Magyar. All of them pray for the victory of the allies. But all of them are compelled to give their wealth, their labors, and in many cases their blood to serve the mon- archs whom they hate, uphold the regime which they abhor, and defeat the friends whom they love.
 1 Such system must be destroyed The world can not exist half Pan. German and half free It must be one thing or the other; and in a free world, there is no room for an Aus. tria-Hungary. We should give the Czechs and Slovaks and the Jugc Slavs, not merely our earnest sym pathy," but our frank recognition as free and independent peoples; and then we should work with money ane propaganda as well as arms anc munitions to make that freedom req and permanent.-Chicago Journal. | 9

With 100000 War Savings Societies in America meeting regularly to discuss our country's needs, America will be safe from any attempt to Russianize it. The Huns carefully laid plan did not work, because he did not know that the old spirit of 1776 was still the prize possession of every man, woman and child of America. He did not figure that the spirit of patriotism and love of freedom once aroused, would sweep everything before it.

 ADDRESSES CONVENTION

Little Rock, July 3.-Senator w. F. Kirby delivered an intensely patriotic speech before the constitutional con- vention yesterday afternoon. He said that we have a million soldiers in France now, and that the achieve ments of the first year of the war are marvellous. He predicted triumph for American arms, but that it might take every energy that can be applied to the one cause in which every true American is enlisted-the winning of the war.
