Water Proof Glue Saves Lumber

The United States Forest Products

TRUCKS CHANGE
PUBLIC VIEW ON
ROAD QUESTION
Before the War Non-Motor'
ing Public Thought Auto
Owners Only Road
Boosters.

Public conception of good roads
have undergone radical change
in the last two years." says Walter
S. Johnson of the Mid City
Motor Supply Co. Prior to the
entry OF the United States into the
war, the non-motoring publice more
often than not, thought good roads
were advocated chiefly for the use
and benefit of those who owned
automobiles. There was an inclina-
ton generally to look upon such
movements as class legislation for
they did not believe in lending their
financial and moral support to good
roads laws which provided for some
thing in which they could see no
direct advantage to themselves.
To-day this conception has
been brought about through univer-
sal recognition of the motor trucks
value as means of transportation,
demonstrated under the stress of
war. War merely fastened what
leaders of the industry had seen for
years: it furnished the conditions
which enabled the truck to establish
itself as a factor in the economic
life of the country.

Gardner Returns to Omaha
AS Agent for Velie Autos

Charles R. Gardner, who has been
associated with automobile and i'm
plement activities in Omaha for a
number of years and who has during
the past two years acted in the
capacity of sales manager at the
Velie factory, has returned to
Omaha as their distributor in Ne

the Veie organization for the past
10 years. For three years he was
the manager of the automobile de-
partment of the John Deere Plow
Co., Omaha, which company was at
that time representing the Velle

A wide experience in the automo-
bile business, both from the retail.
wholesale and factory standpoint,
and an unlimited circle of friends
throughout this territory gives
Gardner an advantage which few
automobile distributors possess.
Gardner has been an active work

Offices In Omaha

The Oshkosh Motor Truck
Manufa curing Co., manufacturers
of the Oshkosh four-wheel drive
truck, have recently established a
division office in Omaha. in charge
of Milton f. Rumery, former
Omaha man.
This four wheel drive is a two
ton-job, with the option of either
l30-inch wheel base or l65-inch
wheel base. Aside from the fact
that this truck develops an unusual
amount of power due to the four,
wheel drive feature, it is a quality
truck capable of developing unusual
speed, According to users and 9TH
ers who are familiar with the line,
this truck operates with minimum
amount of gasoline and oil. The
consumption of both of these prod
ucts is invariably small.
Homer Hilton, factory sales man
ager, was in Omaha a few days ago
and expressed much enthusiasm re-
garding the state of Nebraska and
the manner in which their truck was
being received here.

AUTO RACES IN
JULY RESULT IN
Three RECORDS
Two ChevroIets and Tommy
Milton Clip Seconds From
Previous Best Time.

The three big automobile racing
meets of July, at Sheepshead Bay,
N. Y, Tacoma, Wash, and Union
town. Pa, have, singularly enough,
resulted in setting up three new
track records, and the establish
ment of new worlds competitive
record for 100 miles.
In the big 100-mile derby at
Sheepshead Bay on July 4, CASTOR
Chevrolet, at the wheel of From
tenac, clipped three seconds from
the best previous lO0-mile record,
completing the century run in 81
minutes, l7.8 seconds-an average
of ll0.53 miles an hour
While CASTOR Chevrolet was set
ting up a new speed mark at Sleeps
head, his brother Lewis Chevrolet
was creating new speed records at
Tacoma, Wash, where he won the
o0-mile and the S0-mile events. In
the first his average speed was OBS
and in the second 81 miles per hour,
He was pltted against such noted
speedsters as Resta, Durant and
Hearne, who gave him great race
for supremacy, but his throbbing
Frontenac was equal to the task
winning the two big events of the
afternoon.
At UniontoWn on the 10Th Tom
my Milton, in Duesenberg, won
his second race of the season. In
stead of one long race the after
ra1rpe Of ha re
of 22H miles each. The winners Of
each heat dropped out automatically
and qualified for the fifth and final
heat Milton took the first and final
in two remarkable nonstop runs,
setting up a new track record OF
l0l.l7 miles an hour in the final.
Dave Lewis in Meteor and Red
Fetterman in a Peerless finished
second and third respectively.
An interesting feature in cOnnec-
ton with all these races is that all
were won with cars riding on Good
year Cord tires of the straight side
type. Goodyear tires are now pass
ing through their fourth season on
the various race tracks OF the coun
try, and their use has become
standard practice among the big
tracing drivers. They now hold all
important worlds speed records.
+ The next important automobile
event is the seventh annual Elgin
road race of 800 miles over an Smile
course at Elgin, ILL.,, on August %.
This is the only road race to he
held in this country during the 1919
season. All the nations prominent
racing men will be competitors.

Testing Plugs.

When spark plug is suspected OF
not operating, remove it from the
cylinder without disconnecting the
wire terminal and laying the meta
part of the plug on the engine. By
turning the engine over slowly the
electrical circuit will then be COM
pleted by the commutator and if
the spark plug is working a spark
will jump between the two points.
If not. it is a good indication that
the plug is foul and needs cleaning
or else is short circuited and worth

Redwing's Secret.

Peter Rabbit had come over to the
Smiling Pool especially to pay his
respects to Redwing the Blackbird.
So, as soon as he could without being
impolite, he left little Mrs. Teetter the
Spotted Sandpiper, sitting on her
eggs and Teeter himself bobbing and
bowling in the friendliest- way. to
hurry over to where the bulrushes
grew. In the very top of the big
hickory tree. a little farther along on
the bank of the Smiling Pool. sat
some one who at that distance ap-
peared to be dressed all in black He
was singing as if there were nothing
but joy in all the Great World.
"Ouong-ka-ree, Quong -ka-ree!Quong-
ka-ree" he sang. Peter would have
known from this song alone that 1t
was Redwing the Blackbird, for there
is no other song quite like it
wing few down to a perch among
the broken-down bulrushes. AS he
flew Peter saw the beautiful red
patch on the bend of each wing from
which Redwing gets his name. mo
one ever could mistake him for any
with such beautiful shoulder patches"
thought Peter.
Il suppose" said he. politely, that
you will be building a nest pretty
soon, Redwing. Redwing chuckled
softly. It was a happy. contented
sort Of chuckle. NO. Peter" said he.
It am not going to build a nest"
What exclaimed Peter. as his two
long ears stood straight up with as
constituent.
NO" replied Redwing. still chuck
ling, I'm not going to build a nest.
You see Mrs. Redwing and 1 have
already built one and, If you want to
know a little secret, we have four
of the prettiest eggs that ever were

such Il plain. not to say such a home

realize that she was a Blackbird at

grayish brown. with streaks Of darker

The right thinking of men and
women-l. e., their spiritual under
standing-from the time of Adam
down to the present day. has contin-
ued to leaven human thought pro-
gressively. and the spiritual thinking
of such men and women as Wycliffe.
Tyndale. Luther, Wesley. Julia Ward
Howe, Abraham Lincolns Eliza beth
Fry. Florence Nightingale and others
was just as much part of the de-
velopment of truth in human thought
as were the visions of Abraham. ia
cob or any other Scriptural charac-
ter, said John w. Doorly in Chris
tan Science lecture yesterday after
noon at PolTs Theater.
The liberation of men from the
bondage of slavery, the growth of de-
mocracy. the increasing stability of
law and justice in human thought. the
establishment of religious and polit-
ical freedom and the improvement in
all human conditions are proofs OF
the fact that the correct understand
ing of God and of existence has pro-
crossed since the Christian era. In
spite of the carnal minds efforts to
bind men to material thinking and its
penalties.

Not Confined to Bible Age.

AFTER the ministry Of Christ Jesus
it is recorded that the same healing
and redeeming works were accom-
plished for $50 years through wholly
spiritual means. The dead were
raised, the sick were healed and the
SHINING were reformed. Humanity
has made a fatal mistake by looking
upon the period recorded in the Bible
and the revelation of Gods true ma
ture during that period as something
quite different from what has hap
pened since.
This is not in accord with the
precepts or the prophecies of the
Scriptures. which clearly foretold
that as time went On men would un-
derstand God more and more clearly
and that this understanding would
deliver from all evil. Isaiah foretold
the time when the wolf also shall
dwell with the lamb. and the leopard
shall lie down with the kid: and the
calf and the young lion and the fat
ling together; and little child shall
lead them. They shall not hurt nor
destroy in all my holy mountain: for
the earth Shall be full Of the knowl-
edge Of the Lord. as the waters cover
