"The Cleveland Six cylinder, overhead valve motor had been greatly improved by the adoption of a new and positive method of oil lubrication, an automatic spark advance which eliminates manual control, a new 'type car buretor featuring unusual idling qualities, internally heated mani fold that affords satisfactory vap orization of the poor grade fuels of today, double valves which do away with periodic vibration, water completely surrounding the valves to insure perfect- cooling, greater rapidity in gas speeds due to the internal design of the mo tor, together with a perfected bal ance of the reciprocating parts of the power plant. : v v"An oil drain and tiller conven iently located at the right-side of the motor- facilitates the filling and drainage of the motor.

East in handl ing has been made possible by the use of a specially, designed steering buckle, which includes in its mech anism a ball bearing assembly which allows the lubricant to be retained for long periods as well as eliminating any possibility of absorption of dirt and water. "A pew type tie rod provides for, take-up of wear at this point after long service. 'Clutch efficiency has been in creased, a ten inch contact sur face. . , "These advantages, with other minor refinements, tend to make the new 1924 Cleveland Six far more efficient and more powerful than any Cleveland Six previous ly introduced. "That the new Cleveland Six. and the new prices, especially on the enclosed types, have met with public favor Is borne out by the deluge of orders now being re ceived," Mr. Pettyjohn further states. SIX SILLY SUGGES TIONS SLAUGHTERED 1. "As much liquor i sold now n. before prohibition." Then you think you can get as much liquor to town under the seat of an ancient flivver as you once did in a long freight train? Think you could not have bad more to drink when everybody marched up to the bar and helped himself than you can get nowa days when at midnight you must crawl over, a. hay-loft to the rear, of an ancient,visolated barn, yjfd suck at a jug at ". a suck? Oh; whata sucker! , , j ; 2. "Prohibition was put over on as when we were not look ing." t .Imagine a wet "not looking" when his. suds supply was imper illed! . More than 30 states had gone dry before Federal constitu tional prohibition, approved by two-thirds of Congress, was rati fied by23. 24ths of the state leg islatures. If the wet minority took no notice of. these portentous and clamorous dry events, their case Is one for psychopathic, not legislative, treatment. , v Prr.htMtion cannot lie en forred."

Every step in the process of building tnis tire is made with one view in mind "It must give long service." The carcass, made from high-grade, long staple selected cord, cured on air bags, serves as a foundation for the heavy, smooth-running tread. The sharp edges at the intersection of the center strip on the tread, and the shoulders and bars help reduce skidding to a minimum. Try one Wear-well Cord. You will find that the economy rests not only in the unusually low price, but in the many ad ditional miles of trouble-free service which the Wear-well will give. . , - - . .. , ; NOTE THESE PRICES Sike' ".

Congress is made up of two houses. Repeal or amend ment of laws, must obtain a ma jority of both houses.

The women vote now, and they always hang wet things outside till they dry out. Ask any wet politician in dry districts. 6. 'Our "people In the north and the east do not want prohibi tion." They have it, do they not? Very many, if not a majority of them, like it. It they did not, they still have such emancipation -due them, the emancipated south hav ing helped in emancipating the emancipating north; and there must now be no nullification or act of secession in New t York or New Jersey, or anywhere else. In these radio days sectionalism and local self-government, even Belf centered nationalism, cannot be appealed to in behalf of a decadent Iniquity or a lawless curse like the liquor traffice. - Doubt It?
