These men recognized atonce that Studebaker had solved a problem as old as motoring the problem of controlling momentum and putting it to work. They knew that Free Wheeling, as Studebaker offered it, went straight to the root of applied dynamics-giving the car that offered it a superiority which no car without it could contest. That Is why you are hearing so much more about Free Wheeling today than you did when Studebaker first introduced it. If all cars had it now, the public would save hundreds of millions of dollars in gasoline and oil expense every year. Froe Wheeling has brought Studebaker thoroughness and initiative into the limelight more conspicuously than ever. Today every Studebaker gives you Free Wheeling. All cars will be aspiring to give it to you tomorrow. It gives you 10,000 miles of travel for 8,000 miles of engine effort greatly reduced operation and maintenance cost new safety new case of driving. It means much that these cars come to you with the greatest en gineering advancement since the electric starter. But it means even more that they bear the name of Studebaker, distinguished in trans portation for more than half the lifetime of the American nation.

Produce exchange quotation on stand ard cubes was up a cent, on a level with extras, unchanged at 25 cents. Prime, firsts at 24 cents were also up a cent while the exchange continued to quote firsts unchanged at 21 cents. Trading was limited as dealers found It difficult to fill orders from the limited fresh supplies. Inquiry for 89 to 90 score butter was strong. A corresponding advance of 1 cent a pound In butterfat bids was an nounced by creameries. Eire trading was of only fair pro portion with receipts more than ample and some aeaxers iorcing saies at shaded prices. 75 Girls Start Hoop Practice At High School Seventy-fivo girls started basket ball practice at La" Grande High school recently and each of the 75 is working for a place on the class teams which will be chosen for com petition in about six weeks, Catherine Osborne, director of girls athletics and physical education, states.
