The new Studebaker models sum up all the resources
of the great Studebaker manufacturing- organization
experience, efficient capability, unlimitecl factory
equipment and this means the last word in auto
mobile designing, materials and workmanship.
Refinements have been incorporated in the new models and
they now stand supreme as typical exemplars of the highest
achievement of one of the world's great manufacturers of
motor cars.
Owing to enormously increased volume and the unrivaled
manufacturing facilities that Studebaker possesses, the prices'
are remarkably low for cars of such quality. But it must
always be remembered that Studebaker price is never a meas
ure of Studebaker quality that it has always been Stude
baker policy to produce the highest grade possible without
regard to price that such low prices are possible only by
reaaon of Studebaker leadership and superiority in equipment

person desiring to make entry for 320
acres may present a homestead appli
cation, properly executed on the regu
lar forms, accompanied by a "petition
for designation." In thla petition the
character of the land must be fully set
forth and described. When these re
quirements have been filed in the land
office the "petition for designation"
will ba transmitted to the General
Land Office.
The geological survey will then be
called upon for a report as to the
character of the land, and if the report
is favorable the homestead application
will be allowed. If the geological sur

homestead application will be rejected.
Because similar land nearby is now
dry-farmed successfully, it Is believed
a lively scramble for homesteads will
follow.
