FRENCH COL ONEL GIVEH
HIS NINTH CITATION
Count Who Married an Ameri-
can Girl Honored.

Paris.-Colonel Count Gabriel de
Chambrun, whose grandmother was the
daughter of Lafayette and who married
Clara Longworth, sister of Nicholas
LongwOrth, has just received from
Marshal Lyautey his ninth citation for
brilliant conduct in the French Moroc-
can campaign.
The citation, in the September army
orders, says that during the hard
fighting at Djebel Idlan, and on ex-
ceptionally difficult ground, he again
gave proof of his admirable military
qualities, decision, rapid Judgment and
calm, personal bravery"
The irreconcilable rebel tribes who
have occupied the heights of the Atlas
mountains for centuries, who live by
pillage and are noted for their cour-
age, love of fighting and fidelity to
their chieftains have been greatly
heartened by the recent Spanish de-
feats in the neighboring region to the
north.
Great quantities of arms and am
munition have fallen into their hands
and, as they are among the best marks
men in the world the maintenance of
law and order has become an even
more difficult task for the French au-
thoritiGS.
Count de Chambrun, who succeeded
in occupying one of their chief strong
holds, had the political as well as mill
tary success of obtaining the official
of some of the most aggres-
sive tribes of Alt Ideazzen
The count was attached to the, Am
erican expeditionary forces in France
during the World war and once de- |
ivered a course at the War college in |

INTERESTED IN THE FORD
WEEKLY PURCHASE PLAN

al have received many inquiries
asking if the Ford weekly purchase
plan included only passenger cars"
t. Sullivan, local Ford dealer, said
today
"In reply to these I wish to say
that the Ford Motor company has ar
ranged it so that the plan includes
also the purchase of Ford trucks and
Fordson tractors. Many a business
man operating a small establishment
has seen the need of truck for
speeding up his hauling and delivery
services and to meet modern require
ments, but has refrained from max
ing the purchase because of the out
Law necessary to be taken from his
business at the start. He may may
now purchase truck on the Ford
weekly purchase plan by setting aside
each week a small amount toward the
truck.
Under the Ford weekly purchase
plan farmers or business men can
attain both these desires within SUR
prisingly short period of time and
in so doing place themselves on an
efficient operating system to permit
him to deliver them to the markets
at less cost.
The Ford weekly purchase plan
takes in all Ford products, cars,
trucks, and tractors and makes the
way for the ownership of any of these
necessities easier than ever before"

by the malcontents, such as the
l. W. W., and others who claim to be
down-trodden. George Vanderveer,
attorney for the wobblies," in an ad-
dress to the court the other day on
the coast, warned against such re-
volution, which he asserted was
bound to come. This country has
been threatened with many things,
but the common sense of the Ameri-
can people has usually stepped in be-
fore anything of serious nature has
occurred, and we have unbounded
faith that this will continue. There
is absolutely no danger of revolution
in America.

ORATORIO AT PRESBYTERIAN

Gaul's Holy City," an oratorio,
which was prepared for the Easter
season by the singers at the Presby-
terrain church, will be repeated at the
church service tomorrow morning. A
number of prominent sOlOists will take
part in the production including Mrs.
Macmillan, Mrs. Parish, Miss Adair,
Mr.. Brigham, Mr.. Melleck, and DR..

particularly those pertaining to the
future life, are effectively presented
in the choruses and solos. Those who
heard the oratoria given on Easter

THESE CAME TO STAY AND BUILD.

Another group of Scandinavians has
discovered America, 400 Danish far
mers coming in a body to settle in
the land They bring with them an
average of $500 apiece in cash, mil
lion dollars all told, for capital to
start on in new homes. This does
not look very big, when compared to
the average investment in Nebraska
farms of $4,000 or more, but it holds
immense potentialities.
They come with capital that can
not be expressed in terms of money.
1t is the accumulated experience, the
combined thrift and energy of the
400, who are accustomed to work, and
who know how to do things. They
may have to reform some of their
ideas in order to adapt them to new
soil and surroundings, but this will
not be hard. AS to the actual cash
they have, it will be made to do duty
far beyond the notions of American
practice. These men are already well
versed in the details of cooperative
effort, and know how to work together
In order to secure the best results
with the least expenditure of time,
energy and capital.
The dispatch did not mention where
they intended to locate, but the state.
that gets them will be happy, for it
will have received an addition to it's
productive citizenship that any state
should be proud to have.-Omaha

All of a sudden, as the bunny
gentleman was near the back door
Of his bungalow, his left hind

fell and the next moment his paw
