Our Car.

Our Car.
AS a car owner there is no novelty
and not unusual pleasure in car-rid-
ing, but there are many persons in
your city and i'll your town to whom
all auto ride is an event and some
thing which might be of great benefit
to them.
Why not use your car occasionally
to take children from the orphanage,
some shut-ins. some really poor per
sons who would enjoy the ride and
could not do so unless someone was
thoughtful
1t would be real pleasure TO you
as we'll as TO these persons.
Childless married couples should be
particularly anxious to give some
little one a good time and it would
be a wonderful treat to the little folk
who do not get an opportunity to
visit the country, to have the chance to
spend day in romping and playing
among new surroundings without the
usual home restrictions.
Isn't there someone in your neigh
borhood who cannot walk easily and
who is in need OF a ride?
1t is really very little thing for
you to do,
Why not eject yourself into the
Il Will Give Pleasure club
You will experience more enjoy

Unexpected generosity or legacy
from some little-looked-for source
will mark this day if its talismanic
gem, the topaz, is worn. People OF
miserly tendency will yield to sud-
den benehcent impulses unedr the
power Of this stone. Reconciliations,
delayed by obstinacy or an ungen-
crous spirit, will occur on this date
if the superstition of the topaz is
observed.
place ON your hand sapphire hlu";
Success will bless whateer you do"
So runs the old prophecy for the
natal stone of those whose birth an
niversary this IS. All new enter
prises will be directed toward sue
cess by those who wear this gem
today. Marriages contracted on this
Gate will bring prosperity and life
long happiness if the bride posses
ses a sapphire and wears it on her
wedding day. Love will be lasting
and sincere if sapphire is given as
an engagement ring on this date.
Purple a significant color today.
Those who wear it may look conf
dertly for success in whatever they
undertake, be it business, social
prestige or sport.
The scarlet geranium is the flower
assigned to this day. Its presence
is said to give courage to the bashful
or silent lover.

Chirpy asked Mr.. Nighthawk if he
wouldn't kindly play something.
Il don't care if | do" said Mr..
Notwithstanding that he did
care, and that he would play some
thing. But it was rot because he
wanted to oblige anybody. He was
proud of his booming. And he was
only too glad of a chance to show
Chirpy Cricket how loud he could
make it sound.
Stay right there in that tree, if
you will" Chirpy said. 81 won't
move. I'll sit here and listen"
"Ha, ha!' Mr.. Nighthawk laughed.
81 knew you didn't know anything
about wind instruments. When |
make that booming sound I'm al
ways on the wing. I'm going to take
fight now. And when / come
back you'll hear a noise that is a
roise-and not squeaky chirp."
Then Mr.. Nighthawk left his
perch and climbed up into the sky.
And when he had risen high enough
to suit him he dropped like a stone.
It seemed to Chirpy Cricket that he
had never heard anything so loud
as the boom that broke not far above
his head soon afterward. At the very
moment when it looked as if Mr..
Nighthawk must dash himself to
pieces upon the ground, right where
Chirpy Cricket crouched and
trembled. he had spread his wings
and checked his fall. 1t was the air,
rushing through his wing-feathers
with great force, that made the
queer, hollow sound. That was why
Mr.. Nighthawk claimed that he made
the booming on wind instrument.
There" he said, when he had
settled himself in the tree once more.
IF you think you can teach ME to
perform better, just try that trick
yourself"
But Chirpy Cricket said that he
was sure Mr.. Nighthawk's perform
ance couldn't be bettered by any
body. And he remarked that the
noise reminded him OF high wind
coming on top OF thunder storm.
That pleased Mr.. NighthaWk.
ITS the greatest praise I've ever
had" he declared. And before
Chirpy Cricket knew what had hap
pened, Mr.. Nighthawk had flown
away.
Chirpy often wondered why he
left so suddenly. The truth was that
Mr.. Nighthawk had hurried back to
the woods to tell his wife what
Chirpy Cricket had said to him. And
ever afterward he was fond OF re-
peating Chirpy's remark, in a boast
ing way, until his neighbors were
heartily tired of hearing it.

Ways toPrevent
Shortage ofCars
Considered Here
Speakers at Conference Agree
Railroads Are Making Good
Showing in Movement
OF Wheat Crop.

Methods to prevent any possible
car shortage in the west, especially
Nebraska. were discussed at meet
ing of grain, elevator and railroad
men at the Omaha Grain exchange
Monday afternoon. Col. F. e. Rob-
bins, director of the bureau of serv-
ice of the Interstate Commerce COM
mission; L. NJ. Belts, assistant man
ager of the car service department
of the American Railway association,
and members of their official staffs
were in attendance. Colonel Robbins
and Mr.. Belts are in the city to hold
a series OF conferences relative to
preventing car shortages.
Colonel Robbins declared that at
present there was no danger of a
car shortage. He said wheat was
being shipped rapidly and without
any congestion at any points. As
most of the wheat is being shipped
to shipping points on the Great
Lakes and south the cars are being
unloadcd and returned rapidly.
He said, however. if all the rules
regulating car service were not OBJ
served by the railroads and the ship
pers, there would be shortage.
1t was he opinion Of speakers at
the meeting that the railroads i'll
Nebraska had done splendid work
in taking care Of the large wheat
crop this year
Colonel Robbins said that fast
movement of grain to market was a
sure way to relieve the financial
stringency and that conditions would
improve.
Colonel Robbins visited various
railroad heads in Omaha Monday
and made personal Investigations of
conditions here.
He said he had reports that there
were cars from four to eight days
in the freight yards and that cars
should be loaded and shipped out
faster to avoid congestion and short
ages.
Grain men and officials Of the Onl-
aha Grain exchange pledged them
selves to do all they could TO pre-
vent any car shortage by observing
closely all car service rules and reg
ulationS.
