Three Men Who Make Up
the Firm Plan to Have
Most Complete Organ
ization.

Omaha is soon to have a Pack
ard organization equal in~every eX-
tent to the organizations which
have been built up III cities as New
York, Detroit and Chicago The
firm of Hurst Bury & Hoyt, who
have recently taken over the dis
tEibutors contract for Packard
automobiles and trucks in this terri
tory, have for some time been in
very close touch with the Packard
rganization. In fact Mr.. Bury and
Mr.. Hoyt have been actually con-
nected with the Packard organiza-
ton for a considerable length of
time.
frank J. Bury is the man who is
largely responsible for the universal
service plan which the Packard
factory has been working on dur
ing the past few. years. 1t is large
ly through the efforts of Mr.. Bury
that this plan of handling and
checking service work has been per-
fscted. Mr.. Bury devoted a great
deal of time to this particular branch
of the work. He was manager OF
the service department Of the De-
troit branch.
]. Z. Hoyt has been connected with
the automobile industry since he
was a young boy. His first work
was at Flint, Mich, where he was
connected with the Durant- bort
combination. Later Mr.. Hoyt
joined the Packard people and has
been connected with the Detroit or
ganization for a number of years.
During the Packard sales contest
conducted in1ol7, Hoyt ranked as
second best salesman in the United
States.
William A. Hurst, who is the sen-
ior member of the firm has been
connected with the Detroit activities
for a number Of years. Mr.. Hurs.
has been actively engaged in the
furniture business during the past &c
years and through this connection
has travelled extensively in almost
every state in the union. Omaha,
according to Mr. Hurst, has been
the point at which he ultimately
hoped to locate
Among Detroit activities which
Mr.. Hurst had been interested in is
the building of the Detroit Coli
club. This club has been COM
mented on by club enthusiasts all
over the country, and it was largely
through the efforts of Mr.. Hurst
and a few other Detroit golf en-.

After Library, Music

Edinburgh, April 5,-After Ii
Draries, music.
Nearly G2,130,0OO ($lO,600,0OO)
has been devoted by Andrew Car
negie and the Carnegie United King
dom Trust in the building of town
libraries, and the trust has now re-
affirmed its decision to suspend the
making of building grants and to
confine attention, so far as town Ii
brary work is concerned, to the
liquidation of library debts.
The latest activities Of the trust,
according to the report, are in the
domain of music.
z Sooner or later, the report states,
the trustees will have to consider
whether they can in any practical
way encourage the actual perform
ance off the finest native music, or
whether the matter is one best left
to private enterprise.
A high tribute is paid to the "Old
Vic" in London, its low prices and
the high standard of its dramatic
and operate performances. The
trust has co-operated in putting the
affairs of the "Old Vic" on more
satisfactory basis, and will cooper
ate in any scheme that may be
drawn UP with the object of insur-
ing that the place shall continue its
great educational work.
In the Scottish Education act the
new county authorities can institute
rural liberty schemes and the trus-
tees offer to cooperate. They are
disappointed, however. that there is
no such provision in the English
act; hence "they feel considerable
hesitation in actively promoting fur

Australian Workers
Lot Is Better Than
That Of European:

Melbourne, Australia, April 5.--An
interesting comparison between
Australian and French labor and liv-
ing conditions was made by Com
missioner Thomson of the French
mission to Australia, previous to his
departure for the United States.
Commissioner Thomson stated,
to begin with, that the condition of
the Australian worker was prefer
able to that of the worker of any
European country. The reason for
that, he said, was the universal ap-
plication of the eight-hour day. Part
of the uncertainty of the conditions
of European labor is the lack of a
uniform international working day
In England certain factions are
clamoring for a six-hour day, while
in many countries on the continent
the day of labor may mean anything
from eight to twelve hours.
The commissioner pointed out that
wages in Australia we're generally
much higher than in France and the
rest of Europe, with the exception
that the highly skilled laborer re-
ceiyed more in France than in Aus
tralia.
1t appeared to NJ Thomson tina;
the Australian worker was better
housed and better dressed than the
French worker, and that was due to
the fact that taxation, does not fall
so heavily upon the Australian work
e.. - Il,
Regarding food, the commissioner
thought the Frenchman had his ally
of the Southern Cross at a disadyan-
tage, despite the high prices current
in France. This was due, in his opin-
ion, to the greater thriftiness of the
French housekeeper,
NJ. Thomson admired very much
the wide legislative power for labor
laws possessed by Australian states
as connared with France

Who Has Just Returned From France.)


Washington, April 5.-If the peo-
pie of the Atlantic sea coast towns,
which every day now see the return
of American soldiers, could picture
the cherries, gloomy departure of
those soldiers from France, they
would keep the flags flying, bands
playing and all reception commit
tees going full blast until every last
Yank had stepped from overseas
transports.
The American doughboy, despite
his wonderful fighting ability, is
sentimental and all the weary
months spent in strange land,
among strange people, who some
how don't seem able to understand
him, increase the sentiment that
overwhelms him when he sees the
shores of his homeland peering over
the horizon.
Back a Year Ago.
To obtain a correct perspective of

must 60 back to those stirring days
of last spring and summer when the
German horde was sweeping over
France and when France-chilled by
the dread of horrible INVASION
wahed numbly for assistance.
Then the khaki-clad columns of
American youths who stepped from
transports in practically every
French port, were hailed as de-
liverers. Nothing was too good for
them. The populace greeted them
with cheers. Pretty girls tossed flow
ers and kisses at them. Inland towns
turned out en- masse to hail them
as they marched forward to that
particular bit of hades once known
as the western front. Those were
the days when the memory of
Lafayette were awakened and those
were the days when tn Yankee
doughboy struggled laboriously to
master the new language and strsg-
gled a good deal more laboriously

to hold whatever sector the high
command happened to order him to

But-and one might say "alas"-
times have changed. Once the
words "finit la guerre" were heard,
times began to change. The thou
sands of marching men who, their
work done, have begun to retrace
their steps to the coast towns and
to look for long-awaited orders to
embark for America. These past
few months have seen no flowers
tossed to our soldiers, neither have
they seen the plaudits of the crowds,
neither have they seen the happy
comraderie that characterizes the
other days when danger threatened
and we were the young colossus
come out of.the west"
Seeks Gratitude Tokens
The doughboy cannot understand
it. TO be sure, he does not expect
entertainments, flowers and speech
es, but he would like some little
token of gratitude and wonders why
none is Forthcoming. This is not
written in condemnation of the
French, for the ignorance that 4
strange language engenders prevents
many a quiet word of thanks to the
Yank soldier from the average
Frenchman or woman. And then,
too, France is weary of war and
weary of men in uniform-for the
latter have constituted its chief
spectacle for the past four and one
half wears.
