Old Familiar Things.

Only tire other day the papers
told the story of q man who trav-
eled all the way from Indiana
to massachusetts 10 trace and
buy back an old family horse
that he had sold a few months
before. Ever since the horse
had been gone, the mans wife
had grieved. Her condition had
finally become such that her
husband gladly paid q larger
price than he had received, and
cheerfuily bore the cost Of an
expensive trip besides. to get
the horse back.
In the same week New Eng.
land newspapers recorded the
tragic death Of i'm old man who
was living comfortably with q
married daughter In Il town near
Boston. The cause astrihed was
Us longing for the farm where
h 5e had spent most Of his days,
a nd which he had left for pre-
s,umably easier existence.
There'also appeared lately in
one Of the magazines, a descrip-
ton of the pathetic last act
which marks the .Ginal abandon
ment Of an old farm-the auction
by which the homely hGusehold
utensils that have borne 50 init
mate a relation to the home are
distributed among neighbors to
whom they have no special sig
niticance.
Similar things are constantly
occurring. 70 any one with in
sight, they disclose the depth of
sentiment which lies hidden even
IN the most Unconditional OF lives.
For young people, especially,
they are full OF signiticances.
Nothing is more natural than
that q son should say: Father
Is getting too old to live alone
any longer. The land is all run
ont, anyway. We might as we'll
sell the old place and bring him
down here with us, where he
can be more comfortable.
1t is the beginning of tragedy.
No land is ever so run out that it
does not produce a harvest of
memories more precious than the
best crop OF corn it ever raised.
9on can make the old man con-.
Portable, but yon can rarely
make him happy.
The roots of an old tree 20

cloud. It is i'll transplanting

The stores are kept open nightly now

STUDEbAKER Shops
HIGHLY Efficient
Company Has One OF the Most
Complete Auto Hospitals on
the Pacific Coast
Machinery Installed to Handle
Cars OF All Makes and
Sizes

Il suppose this is an automobile
hospital from the variety and number
of cars undergoing repairs WAS the
remark made by an interested visitor
a few days ago When being shown
through tile automobile repair shop of
the Studebaker Brothers company Of
California.
According to the Studebaker concern
the visitors deductions were entirely
apropos, as at the time of his visit
there were no less than 81 different
makes of machines undergoing re-
pairs in the establishment. The ma
chimes ranged all the way from the
cheapest cars on the market to one of
the most luxurious limousines ever
seenspn this coast.
During the recent heavy rains many
owners OF cars in this portion of the
state had their machines shipped in for
general repairs, some suffering with
trifling troubles and others with dam
ages which will require many days of
continued work to get back into good
running shape.
That the Studebaker firm is prepared
to treat the most complicated troubles
of automobiles is apparent to any one
who visits the company's repair shops.
These embrace the entire top floor of
the Studebaker building and are said
TO be one of the most complete repair
shops in the west.
Recently the local branch installed
universal grinder, which is receg-
nized by the trade to be one of the
most accurate grinders built. The
grinder is the only one of it's kind in
the city and is so geared that it can
be regulated down TO one ten-thou-
sandth of an inch. For this reason
it is especially suited for automobile
work, where accuracy down to the
smallest fractions is essential.
