Army Stuff Not Suitable
For Local Farm Use

Farmers looking for army sur
plus trucks, etc. recently announ-
ced available at Portland, needn't
waste their time and money look
ing 'em up, according to a report
given us today by a local farmer
who just returned from an in
vestigation trip there.
He reported there were about
40 units there, 6 Dodge pickups,
no cabs, small steel bodies priced
at $3.50. There were 10 Chew
short wheel base trucks, cable
hoist on front, steel bodies, single
tires, rear fixed for duals, no over
loading springs, priced at $3.50.
The other stuff was just as
sorted junk, this farmer reports.
All looked tough, they were hard
to get information on, hard to 60
to Portland.

things operated TO moke them hard to get:
The first is that most of the Nebraska SOL

killed; and second, we ore very busy at the
job of chasing Germans. You would have
been interested to hear the comments of the
soldiers when signing it. They we're to q mon

A Petition From Nebraska's Own
18Th INFANTRY in France
Under Deadly German Fire
They Ask You to
VOTE NO
ON prohibition
NOVEMBER 7TH

This is an historic and touching document. It
is a petition, written and signed by 312 Ne
braska men of the famed 134th Infantry
N~ebraska's own regiment-on the battlefield
of France. 1t was signed shortly after this
regiment made its heroic and bloody break
through at St. Lo, for which the unit was espe-
cially commended by General Eisenhower.
The petition-soiled and grimed by battle
was sent to former Governor Keith Neville of
North Platte by Col. Butler B. Miltonberger,
Commander of the regiment. 1t pleads for a
defeat of the proposed state prohibition law in
November. Following is an excerpt from Col.
Miltonberger's letter accompanying the petit

So Wife Wins Divorce

CAMDEN, N. j., Nov. 15.-
(P)-The wife of a secondhand
furniture dealer testified today
in divorce proceedings that she
didn't mind so much that her
husband stayed out nights until
2 am. playing bingo.
"That wasn't SO bad" Mrs.
Marie A. Meade testified, ."but
what convinced me that he
loved his bingo more than me
was when he began selling our
furniture for money to play"
IF a customer asked for an
item he didn't have" Mrs.
Meade said, che would take 1t
from the house and sell 1t.
Finally, when he had emptied
our house of furniture, I had
to buy an old brass bed, one
that no one would want to pur-
chase.
However, that didn't stop
Thomas. He carted the bed in
to the var dand tore it apart.
The pieces went to the junk
dealer as brass scrap"
