GEORGE BABE PASSED TO
GREAT BEYOND

. N We~o oOAh III
Platte county, Nebraska. July %,
1884, died January 81, 1925, at
$3.50 p. m, at the home of his
brother, Carl. of heart disease
and dropsy. Seventeen years ago
George Babe came here with his
brothers, John, Carl and Louie.
He lived here two years, returned
to Nebraska and remained there
until two years ago when he re-
turned to Bruno and had since
made his home with his brother,
Carl. He was in poor health
since returning here, but not un-
til last summer was he so sick as
to have to be confined to bed. He
was a great sufferer but bore it
all with a smile and was never
heard complaining. Last fall he
seemed to be much better and
was quite well since then until
about three weeks ago when he
went to Duluth on a visit and
while there ate something that
distressed him and it seems that
dropsy and heart trouble set in
again. He was in church three
weeks ago last Sunday for the
last time and since his return
from Duluth has been poorly
most of the time but not serious
ly until about midnight Friday
when the doctor was summoned
and he told Carl that the end was
near. There was no help, only
relief. He got relief at once and
suffered no more until the end
came at $50 Saturday. January
81, and he Just fell asleep.
George was a lover of flowers
and children and doing anything
to make others happy. He was
organist for the primary depart
ment in Sunday school for over a
year and the children all loved
him and he loved them. He will
be greatly missed in the S. s.,
church and entire community. He
was a member of the German Luz
theran church in Nebraska and
was an active worker in the
Presbyterian church each time he
made his home here. George
was always happy and when he
knew he was soon to leave this
world he was happy to go to
answer his call. He leaves to
mourn his loss four brothers,
Carl and John of Bruno, Louie
and Henry of Nebraska; two sis
tiers, Mrs. Dora Lueschen of Neb-
raska, and Mrs. Sophia Freeman
of Scanlon, who was here to at
tend the funeral.
Services were held from the
Presbyterian church, Wednesday,
at 1:30, conducted by Rev. Simp-
son who also sang a solo, Some
Day twill All be Plain to Me. "
The choir sang three songs. The
beautiful floral offerings spoke
louder than words of the place
George occupied in the hearts of
the people. The sympathy of
his host of friends goes out to
his relatives.
Sleep on. beloved. sleep and take thy
rest.
Lay down thy head upon thy Saw
tours breast,
We loved thee well. but Jesus loves
thee best
Good night-Good night-Good night.

Large Number Of New Dealers
Handling Car Since Yer
Linden Took Charge

Increased interest in Peerless cars
among automobile dealers since the
advent of the new administration is
indicated by the large number OF
new distribution and dealers added
to the selling organization through
out the country since Edward Yer
Linden took charge on February 10,
according to Charles A. Tucker,
sales manager.
"It is gratifying to know" said
Mr.. Tucker, that the Peerless
franchise is so highly regarded that
in a number of cases recently there
has been keen competition among
welI-known distributors for the
Peerless account.
This is not surprising. in View
Of the excellent reports that reach
US daily regarding the satisfaction
expressed by owners of the eQui-
poised eight and the superb six. but
it is especially pleasing as an in
which M. Yer Linden is held by

tributors and dealers who recently
have signed contracts, are on IN

HUDSON PRICES

SLASH

according to Walter Lambert, Hud.
son Essex distributor.
THE unexpectedness OF the EIud-

"The whole trade knew that Hud-
son was not only at IL highest
point of activity, but that It's bust
ness was ON an ever.increasing
volume.
I'm the midst OF such a. situation
comes a startling price cut. The
priceNef the Hudson coach is today
actually less than one-half OF the
price Of a Hudson open car just
a few years ago. Yet, quality has
not merely been maintained in the
Hudson, but the whole car has
been, and is now, on program of
Improvement in its every detail.

wherefore's as they are in the fact
that they now can get q Hudson
on the most favorable terms it has
ever. known.
THE fact Of the price is here
the quality of the car is sponsored
by y-Hudson--and facts do not need
explanations.
"Our own business was startling
ly increased. If 1t be said that our
position before the cut was repre-
sented by an index No. 100, 1t is
now around IT'S or 200. Our only
wish is that we could get Hudson
cars as fast as we want them.
"Here is some dope on the pres.
ent Hudson Super-Six prices: The
Hudson coach now sells for less
than the first Essex four-cylinder
coach which was made in 1921. II
sells for less than any Hudson
Super-Six car of any model ever
sold for before. 1t is offered fols
less than one-half the sum which
Hudson open cars brought at the
wartime peak prices. AS for the
Hudson sedans they now sell for
less than the first Hudson coach OF
three years ago with the fabric
upper quarters. Yet these Hudsons
are in every detail better than any
former Hudson.
"It is this Hudson policy of Civ
ing greatest values which has made
Hudson the biggest producer Of six
cylinder cars In the world.

storage battery current supplied
a large generator, and this, in turn,
was controlled by a hand lever.
Obviously the greatest degree OF
magnetic coupling was necessary at
the start, because, with the engine
pulling one way and the car eager
to stay at rest, the slippage be-
tween the two magnetic fields was
greatest. The driver gave the mag
nets all the current available and
ran the engine fast enough to pre-
vent it from being strained when
the magnetic coupling took effect.
AS the car increased in speed the
magnetic field could be decreased
and the speed Of the engine could
be reduce. The great objection to
the magnetic drive was that 1t ne
cessitated a highly efficient and
constantly cared for generator-bat-
terry system, otherwise the owner
would be helpless IL tackling steep
hill or trying to pull out or a ditch,
Also there was the usual possf-

INDUSTRY
SHOWS RAPID
GROWTH
Sales Of Cars Show Decided
Increase Since f019Pros-
perity Apparent

Predictions made early In the
year that the automobile industry
was entering into e. new era OF
nrosperity. rather than going into
4 saturatfon decline, are more
than borne out In reports for the
first quarter
Ifl commenting on present condi-
fions in the automobile field,
George H. Townsend, president Of
the MotoTaeter Company, Inc, who
has frequently and empiaticaily
denied there is anything such as
a saturation point, said, We have
noticed a steady Improvement In
the industry, partly basing our
conclusion on our product, which
acts as sort of barometer on
automobile business generally. Con
ditions today are stable, and 20
not show the fluctuations 30 preya-
lent in the past year.
Our company alone win Tar *
ceed the business done IN any
which was our maximum sales
year. Our sales for the first three
months OF 1925 show q decided
increase over the sales for the
same period in 1925 thereby prov
ing beyond doubt that the growth
81 the automobile industry has
far from reached g. saturat1on
point predicted for it by some
pessimists."
one reason given by Mr.. Town
send for this continued improve
ment is the fact that many own
ers are now buying two cars in
stead OF one, due to the cheapness
with which they may be purchased.
Records compiled by statistical ex-
perts- show that the nunaber ct
cars purchased in 1923 was lis
per cent greater than in 1912.
though the actual amount OF money
expended for the purchase of over
twice as many cars In 1928 was

or passenger car starting in ''low.
AS the bus approaches the speed
he. desires it to go he let's off on
the gas and allows the engine to
run at the slowest speed that lit
will maintain the desired car speed.
How To Slow Down.
Slowing down is a matter of
removing the foot from the ac-
celerator and permitting the engine
to idle. Here the generator slows
down to al point where 1t delivers
no appreciable output of Juice, ;"
the electric motors therefore, re-
fusing to drive -he wheels. Stop
ping is accomplished by using the
brakes in the usual way, but here
there is no shift to neutral" and
no fear of stalling the engine when
starting off again.
When a hill is reached the driver
almost unconsciously gives the engine
more gas and hardly realizes that
the whole matter of power-load
relationship is taken care Of auto
maIicaly. More electric current is
required to drive the car up a
grade and so the gasoline engine
has to run faster. II the driver
enough there is no direct strain on
it because the electric current out
put falls and the car slows down.
1t cannot be accelerated Z. again
without greatly increasing the gen.
orators output, and this in turn,
is not possible unles the gasoline
engine is> run at a. higher speed.
Most automobile drivers know
that gas engines power is mostly
in its speed, as Is evidenced by
the large power output possible
with many small engines operating
at high speed. Most drivers also
know that engines are ruined by
failure to run them at higher speed
when climbing hills, which is ac-
complished by shifting to a gear
combination that will allow the
engine to revolve very much faster
than the rear wheels.
Not a Magnetic Drive.
The gasoIine-electric drive, as it
Is being developed in this country,
is not to be confused with the mag
netic drive which attracted so much
attention q number of years ago
when it appeared as the chief me-
chanical feature of the Owen4Mag.
netic car. In this design the me-
chanical trausmission was replaced
magnets in the drive. One was at
the end OF the. engine shaft, while
the other was at the forward end
Of the propeller, shaft. Magnetic
attraction was set up by means Of
