Six cars finished, of which three wore Hadnona, 13 L'ilv7; 1 1 ll 26,000 MEN JOIN WAR Against Motor Wear and Friction ENDURANCE PROVED BY HUDSON SUPERSIX Let us not confuse the issues which stand uppermost today. It is not speed, not power, not hill-climbing ability which make the Super-Six su preme. Though it holds those stock-car records. It is the fact that those records were won against Sixes, Eights and Twelves by minimizing friction in the motor. That is why the Super-Six invention stopped the trend toward V-types. It reduced friction vastly more than they did. That is why a Six holds ruling place today. A new basic principle, patented by Hudson, removed its limitations. It was to minimize friction that V-types were considered. Hut in that the Super-Six outdid them. That is why it out-sped any other stock car. Why it won so many hill-climbs, in cluding Pike's Peak. Why it broke all records for quick acceleration. Why it broke the 21-hour stock-car record by 52 per cent. Why it twice broke the transcontinental record in one continuous 7000-mile round trip. It was all motor endurance, due to friction and wear reduced to a point which no other type has approached. FEEL HER PULSE ! THE CAR IS A GOOD DEAL LIKE A HUMAN BEING. IF THERE'S SOMETHING GONE WRONG, YOU CAN SENSE THE TROUBLE BUT MAY NOT ALWAYS BE ABLE TO TELL WHAT THE DIFFICULTY IS. THAT'S WHAT WE KEEP TRAINED MECHANICS HERE FOR TO FEEL THE PULSE OF THE CAR, FIND OUT WHAT THE AIL MENT IS, AND THEN-APPLY THE REMEDY. THE NEED OF TRAINED HELP IS NEVER MORE NOTICE ABLE THAN WHEN THE IGNITION AND LIGHTING SYSTEM -THE NERVES OF THE CAR, GET OUT OF ORDER.

SIMERAL, Proprietor 147 North High St. Opposite Court House Telephone 44 i II IU ! t tt tttt ' s i Now makers of Sixes point to the fact that a Six still holds first place. But the top place is held by the Hudson Super Six. No six, eight, twelve or car of any type has equaled it in any of the things which count. It is a new typo Six the Super-Six made under Hudson patents. It rules be cause it added 80 per cent to old-type Six efficiency. Because it ended the Six limi tations vibration, friction and wear. THE ONE GREAT QUESTION The one great question in choosing a car is this: What motor type comes nearest to eliminating friction? That type will out-perform all others. 11 will wear the longest, cost the least fOr upkeep, waste the smaller amount of power. That is now the Hudson Super-Six. It probably always w ill be. No engineer can hope to come much closer to perfection. That is the reason for Hudson suprem acythe wonderful performance of this motor. . No maker can approach this type in things that count for most. Until one does, men who want a great car must choose the Super-Six. With it he is master of every motoring situation. NOW A GASOLINE SAVER Now another feature a great gasoline saver adds to the Super-Six attractions. And new body creations, in every style, attain the very limit in beauty and luxury.

High St., Salem Studebaker Six Rated As One of Best Cars Made ! The Studebaker Six is one of the host automobiles ever mads, and it should be, for it is tho mastci piece of one of the world's lafgett makers mnl no company in Ihe world in manufacturing or engineering experi ence, resources or organization, ex cels Studebaker; and the Studeliakor Six is the best work of Btudebaker. it is n ear of masterful power, no car in the orlilunder $8008 exceeds it in this respect and, in ratio to weight no car in tho world at any iirioo exceeds a Stuilohaker six in power. Vet it is remarkably eooiionuc nl in irjisoline. tires. unkeeii and maintenance expense, because ot its un excelled design. It as easy riding and as easy driving as ears of much greater weight and longer wheolbase. and this because of its extra long springs, scien tifically designed seats and cushions, anil perfect lines. Like the highest priced makers, Studebaker has not adopted temporary fads and fancies in body design as an advertising or sell ing stimulus. It changes body designs only by the refinement of distinctive lines, which are permanently beautiful and stylish. It would be equally foreign to Stude baker nolicv to make radical changes in its motor design either Four or Six merely for the sake of advertising ami sales value. The present motor has mot every eiuergeney of average service and at average driving speeds it is bettor than any other dosigu yet developed. I In the Series 19 refinements have been made in the lubrication system, render Lag it absolutely positive in operation. Refinement! have been made in the motor mounting and in the balance i and design of the reciprocating motor parts crankshaft, connecting rods and pistons still further cutting down vi bration ami adding to the siood and power range of both motors. The evo liition of the StudebSker motor and full floating rear axle system has made the Studebaker chassis one of the finest pieces of automobile construction on the market today. A RAKE OLD GAME 'No one has to be a prophet or the son of a seer to tie perfectly sale in predicting that the attendance and the sales at this season's automobile shows are going to put all past performance along these lines in the discard.'" rum iuates the t ouiinentator. in the Febru aiv issue of American Motorist.

Brown, have made a profit approximating $20,000 by plant ing about M mgres of land to potatoes. With this showing thev have easilv demonstrated that they can be designat-j oil as the "Sped Kings" of I'lackatuas county- Their Stl-aero tract near New Era pro -i duced this season 10,000 bushels, and in J addition to this Mr. Brown purchased j several thousand bushels onthe ontsnle which he disposed of at a good proft. Mr. Brown has about SM sacks left, averaging about 115 pounds to the sack. Ho has been i'ffered as high as 3.75 a hundred for this supply. The potatoes he sold at the early maTket brought; $1.25 a hundred. The biggest part of his crop sold at an average of $3.25 a i huudred. i Mr. Brown l.as had considerable expe rtenee at potato raisng having marie' them his principal crop for a number of ; years.

An entirely new line of aniuseine-nfs aad attractions will he brought forward this season for the benefit of the many visitors. At the recent annual meeting an entirely new board of directors was elected, with one exception. Dr. Prill, the originator and htad of the fair for the past 10 years, was retained, much against his wishes. Stayton Mail. STORE -CLOSING AGREEMENTS The merchants of the towns of Hub bard. Aurora.
