Nebraska Wheat Crop
Cut Down by Red Rust
and Cool, Wet Weather

Lincoln, July 5.-Nebraska's
bumper winter wheat crop will not
be as large as forecast, due to pre-
mature ripening, red rust and the
recent cool and wet weather, accord
ing to an announcement made by E.
R. Danielson and A. f. Anderson of
the crop reporting service.
Many fields" the statement says,
(which promised large yields may
not make more than half of what
was expected. While the cause may
be due to several reasons such as
premature ripening, red rust, lodg-
ings, etc, many believe the shrink
age is caused from too rapid ripen-
ing due to three days of high tenn
peratures on wheat that had been
acclimated to cool and wet weather.
On the other hand the red rust may
have been a factor, although up to
the time of harvest the wheat
seemed to have recovered so far as
could be told"
Harvest Finished in Gage.
Beatrice, Neb., July 5.-(Special
Telegram. Farmers practically fin
ished harvesting wheat in Gage
county Saturday, some of them
working on the Fourth and until
dark every night the past week to
finish the job. A few will begin
threshing next week. The yield
runs from 20 to 40 bushels to the
acre, but the grain in some fields
is not of the best quality.

''Cranks" Made Before
Fords Were Thought
About, Says Ed Beach
p. A. Barrows. CORRESPONDENT =

Lincoln, July 5.-Inspections
made by the state fire commission
since Fire Commissioner Ed Beach
took charge amount to 1859, &C
cording to a report made Saturday.
Eleven fires were investigated and
70 buildings condemned.
In connection with inspections
and Investigations Mr.. Beach tells
the following story in his printed
bulletin:
"A short time ago the head of
this department was standing on
the street in good-sized county
seat town opposite an oil filling sta
ton. We noticed man drive up
and noted that his automobile tank
was readily filed by the man in
charge without stopping the engine.
Walking across the street, we cau-
toned the dealer about the danger
and asked him in the future to guard
against accidents by having the en-
CINE stopped while filling.
"A couple of hours later while in
that part of town we noticed the
dealer again filing an auto with the
engine running When taken to
task he made this excuse: Most of
the cars that I fill are Fords and,
being personally acquainted with
Our customers, if they stop the en-
CINE until the tank is filled they will
say, Now, Bill, give her a twist"
and have to get down and crank
up every car
Evidently the Lord manufac-
tured some 'cranks' before Ford au-
tomobiles were thought Of"

There is strange and strong interest in
the Essex which we have not been able to
fully explain.
You hear the most sincere endorsements
for its qualities from men who have never
even seen the car. We believe that more
than half million people now do intimate
ly know the Essex, but that does not &C.
count for what is being said about it in re-
mote communities where no Essex car has
yet appeared.
Distributors report having received ord
ers by mail from persons who say they
have heard so much about the Essex that
they know it is the car they want.
Perhaps you, too, are one who has not
yet seen the Essex. Yet you cannot be a
reader of these words and not have heard
what people on every hand are saying
about it.
Because of what you have heard others
say, you approach the Essex with the most
favorable impressions. With so many thou
sands making the Essex the standard of
their automobile desires, there is some ex-
PLANTATION for the confidence evidenced
when men send their money for car they
have never seen.

RECALL TO KILL
INVESTIGATION
OF PR0F|TEERS
Successful Referendum on
Code Law Will Make Probe
of High Prices I'm
possible.

Lincoln, July 5.-Should the op-
ponents OF the code law, who are
endeavoring to have the law made
imperative by invoking the refer
endum on the same be successful,
they will have killed all chance pro-
vided in that law for investigation of
profiteering, which under the law
had authority to punish all acts Of
that kind.
They will also have made inopera-
tive a section of the law for the
grading of shipments of potatoes and
covering both subjects the governor
says:
II suppose that those who are OBJ
tanning the referendum against the
code realize that they are attempt
ing to hold up the only legislation
that was enacted by the last session
Of the legislature relative to profit
eering. Within the department Of
agriculture under the code, it is pro-
vided that the department of agri-
culture shall have power:
To Promote Agriculture.
"a. To encourage and promote in
every practicable manner the in
erests of agriculture, including hort
iculture, the live stock industry,
dairy, cheese making, poultry, bee
Keeping forestry, fishing, the pro-
duction of wool and all other allied
Industries.
20. To promote methods of con-
dieting these several industries with
a. view to increasing the production
and facilitate the distribution there
Of at the least cost.
g"Inasmuch as these departments
have police power, there can be no
doubt that the authority herein de-
fined under the secretary of the de-
partment of agriculture is adequate
10 enable that department to go the
full length in investigating and
prosecuting all subjects that relate
to profiteeering.
Will Invalidate S. F. 1873.
81 suppose also that the crculators
Of the referendum petition realize
that if the code fails to go into ef-
feet, they will have invalidated the
effect of S. F. 1873, which provides
for the grading of carlot shipment
Of potatoes. While the provisions
relative to the grading and inspee-
ton of potatoes as defined in the
law are complete, no provision is
made for the payment of an inspec-
TOR, to have charge of the work,
though such an office was created
Id the law. Under the code. this
work may be handled within the
department. of agriculture, and twill
lie so handled unless the code should
fail to go into effect. This legisla-
ton was enacted at the urgent re-
quest of the potato growers through
out the entire northwest and west
ern part of Nebraska and there can
Ne no doubt of its imperative need.
II trust that the circulators of the
petitions have made these facts clear
u those who have been asked to
sign the petitions"

Then 1t Must Be What
Others Are Saying

In every community some one car is rec
ognized as leader. 1t is not just any car
of given make but an individual car that
holds the best record for speed or accelera-
ton or hill climbing. You must know some
car in that way. And haven't you heard
men attempt to explain the Essex by COM
parison with that car?
That is the way in which its riding quail
ties are described. Its finish and beauty
are likened to similar qualities in other
cars that people know favorably and we'll.
In attempting to explain the reason for
the way in which the Essex has been &C.
copied we return always to the car itself.
1t must have qualities men have wanted.
1t was our aim to meet that demand. We
wanted it to have the advantages in econ
omy of cost and operation Of the light cars
and to also have the endurance and per-
Torrance as we'll as the appeal to pride
which have been exclusive to costly cars.
