Sides Interested.
in Work Of Boys All
Through Nebraska

H. E. Sides, president of the Ne
braska Buick Auto company, has the
past few years aside from his auto
mobile business, taken an active part
in the boys work in the state OF
Nebraska.
Mr.. Sides says that though the
boys interest in motor cars isn't a
financial one, the interest is none the
less keen, for most every boy from
| 8 to 10 years up can tell the name OF
a surprisingly large number of cars,
simply from the sound of the motor
or the outline of the body.
"a short time ago the eighth grade
of the Capitol school went through
our plant in order to get information
for themes on automobile and truck
construction. The questions those
boys asked would take to task the
best informa ton of our automobile
and truck experts. People are be-
ginning to realize that you cannot
start too soon in the training of boys
along motor construction lines,
said Mr.. Sides.
We find in all parts of the country
automobile schools for students of
all ages, with courses arranged es-
pecially attractive for boys in their
teens. The more wide-awake schools
and colleges are also instituting a
thorough course in the training of
automobile and truck experts.

BUILDERS AIM
|ST0 INCREASE
RANCE OF AUTO
Cole Aero Eight Said to
Realize the Object Of
Motor Car Manu-
faCturerS.

The chief aim of builders of the
motor car, since the day when the
utility of the automobile was estab-
lished, has been to increase its range
of possibilities.
Through the years every manu-
facturer has concentrated his ener-
gies on perfecting a car which will
go over the road with the least re-
sistance, with maximum comfort and
greater economy.
= The introduction of aerotype en-
cheering and designing perhaps has
done more toward the attainment
of that end than any other step.
1t is Universally admitted that aero
type construction, such as is found
in the Cole Aero Eight, eliminates
more efficiently those elements OF
resistance which stood in the way OF
motor car performance than any fea-
ture of automobile manufacture
brought forth in a decade.
Many principles involved in the
construction of aeroplanes are found
in the Cole Aero Eight. The frame
of this car, through the perfect bal
ance and coordination of parts &C
composites the same results as that
Of the aircraft. 1t is light, strong
and flexible. The bulky weight is
placed in the center, allowing the
side members of the frame to serve
as shock-absorbing elements. As a
measure of extra precaution and
comfort shock absorbers are STAN
dard equipment on this car.
Because of its we'll balanced con-
struction, the Cole Aero Eight
Skins" over the road. 1t is not
driven into the road With road re-
sstance practically eliminated there
is a marked decrease in wear and
tear on tires.
Bee Want-ads pay big profits to
the people who read them. .

Fordson Tractor Works
Daily on Farm Near Here

"The secret Of Fordson farm trac-
TOR success" says H. S. Tyler. sales
manager of Sample Hart Motor
company, is the fact that the Ford
son does universal good work.
When one considers the fact that
approximately $700,000,000 are vast
ed annually in America, due to poor
blowing, it is no wonder that the
Fordson, which does frst-class
blowing, always finds a receptive at
titudc on the part of the American
farmer, who knows better than any
one else a good job OF blowing and
its results in successful cropping"
Sample Hart Motor company is
working the Fordson on thea Hans
Otte farm, west of Benson, in &C
tual farming, where any one in
terested in knowing what the Ford
son does may go and see the kind
of performance it gives when put
in actual service.

that indications point to a most sue
cessful year, and believes that the
splendid record of last year will be
exceeded in the amount of fry dis
tributed. Last year fry was de-
livered to many parts of northern
Minnesota, and SO plentiful were eggs
that the Bemidji hatchery could not
care for the supply and many Of
them had to be sent to hatcheries
at Detroit and st. Paul.

VICTORY GARDENS
TO Be POPULAR IN ..
-. . =: BEMIDu THIS YEAR

Maintenance Of home gardens to
meet the continued need for food Is
being urged by the Department OF
Agriculture in nationwide cam
paign now well under way.
Federal garden experts say that
the interest Is as great as last year,
when the patriotism Of war acted as
an incentive Pamphlets and other
publications pointing out the neces-
sity Of continuing last years war
gardens are being distributed.
Officials of the department have
pointed out that the need for home
production of vegetables continues,
because while there are fewer Ameri-
can soldiers overseas, there are more
hungry civilians now than before In
other countries who look to the Unit
ed States to furnish them with food.
Moreover, it was said, the railroads
Of the country still will be overbur-
dened and the state, county or town
that feeds or assists in the feeding OF
itself will aid greatly in reconstruct
tion aboard and re-adjustment at
home.
Continuance Of the so-called war
gardens, the department believes.
will olso play an important part In
domestic economy.
Gardners, who last year were dis
couraged because Of failures, are be-
ing urged to make another try, as 1t
is felt that the experience gained by
the failure should result In a sue
cessful garden this year.
Reports so far received by the de-
partment indicate that many thou
sands of home graderners who went
lover the top soir' last year in the
production OF vegetables for home
tables already have started their
Victory gardens.
