mentioned Salem, Silverton, Westport
and Astoria as places he might so
to seek work.
The boy was first missed Monday

that he had not been in classes at
the Holman school. The father did
not" start an investigation at once,
for he thought the boy would return
the next day.

his father, since he had the influenza
and would not be able to do farm
work.
He is a slender boy, about '5 feet
6, with brown hair and gray eyes.
At the time of disappearance he wore
a red stocking cap with white stripes,
gray trousers and a brown coat. He
was riding a Winner bicycle and car
rying a small straw suitcase. He did
not have over $2 or $3 with him.

A POWERFUL CAR
There are people who never go a-driving without
having to consider the limitations of their cars.
Who wants a car on his mind?
The unusual power of the Standard Eight makes
nothing of the steepest hills.
As one owner put it: "My car doesn't seem to know
there are any hills."
Power such as this brings complete ease of mind and
a confidence that is the pith of the joy of motoring.
