GIF PRESERVE FULL OF BIRDS The Eola ranch, owned by the E. C. Hurst company, on the river side of the county road from urunk s corner to Independence, Is teeming with Chinese pheas ants, quail and native pheasant, according to D. F. Kennedy, as sistant euperintendent. Two years ago this ranch was set aside as a game preserve by the state, and some young birds were released there. During the first year the game bird3 fared very well, but there was no marked Increase in num ber at the end of the hatching sea Bon. A decided increase is no ticed this year, even though a large number of the birds have gone to the highlands to nest, as they are highland fowls. The in creasing roar of shotguns drives them on the preserves in the fall. however, and as no gun is ever fired on the Koia ranch, -it is known to birds as a haven of refuge. Professor T. H. Gentle, a mem ber of the staff of the Oregon Nor mal school, who has a ranch south of Monmouth, has been so favor ably impressed with the bird pro tection program that be has of fered his ranch for the preserve. W. J. Hoffman of Independence is also said to be ready to offer the use of his ranch for the same purpose. Wins Fortune After Twenty Years f ...

It was revolutionary in two ways. It had about one-third more power than was ever put into a car of its size. It was sturdier by hundreds of pounds than other cars of its size. And it was a Six remember that. Three years ago it was a sturdy, big-powered Six. It could outperform and stand up with cars of far higher price. That was when other makers in Jewett's price cl. 000 to $1500 offered dependable but sluggish Fours, or Light Sixes, underpowered and short-lived. "Sixes Do Beat Fours" You remember when we advertised "Sixes Do Beat Fours." It caused a lot of talk. Fours were then still considered best in our price field. Folks admitted a Six was "nicer to handle" but said : "These Light Sixes dont stand up.", It took a Jewett to do it. That's what made the Fours scamper to cover, and they have scampered fast. Today only two makers sell many Fours m Jewett's price class. And to be safe, they have recently brought out other cars with more cylinders. How About "Light" Sixes? And what has become of "Light" Sixes? You hear of them no more. Folks wanted a sturdy Six with ample power. Sixes that would last like Fours. Moderate-priced, moderate-sized, economical Sixes that would perform like big, high-priced Sixes. It took a Jewett to do it. Jewett was built to prove these things possible to give the public what it wanted. So Jewett literally ran away with the field. In three short years the public has invested nearly one hundred and fifty mil lion dollars in Jewett cars. No wonder you ceased hearing about "Light" Sixes. No wonder millions in equipment have been sent to the scmp pile to make possible new cars to compete with the Jewett. But run them on the coal scales and you will still find them "Light" Sires hundreds of pounds lighter than Jewett. Check up on the piston displacement of tlieir motors. You will still find them under powered 20 to 30 less power than tho Jewett. Now a New Jewett And to make sure of Jewett's leadership to keep the Jewett the finest car we know how to build there is now a Nmr Jewett. Imagine all we have told you about the old Jewett. Magnify it with all the superlatives you can think of. And still you will come short of getting a pic ture in your mind and eye of what this New Jewett is and does. Without enlarging the motor, without speed ing it up, we have yet increased Jewett's power 20 I We have introduced new spring construc tion for balloon tires, which makes the Jewett ride like a car with 125-inch wheelbase this without sacrificing Jewett's convenient -size wheelbase. New Smoothness Silence Beauty With a counterbalanced crankshaft, chain, front-drive motor, we have reduced vibration . and noise as near zero as will ever be reached. And finally, with new bodies, we have dressed the Jewett up as beautifully as any car you have ever seen. Let us show you a New Jewett either in our store or at your front door. We want you to take one for a long drive. Handle it yourself. Only then will you realize why Jewett will re tain its lead for many years more why it is the first choice among moderate-sized cars today. jewett) TRUMM MOTOR CO. $49 N.
