From the Overland Stage Coach
TRAVEL in the early years Of the nineteenth CEN
~ tury was serious undertaking. The Overland
Stage Coach with its four-horse power (more
often four mule power that continually had to be
"cranked with raw-hde WHIP furnished little in the
way Of rapid transi---and less in the way of comfort
That's Yesterday. Iomorrow may have the
airshp at our beck and call But it is today in which
live red-bood people are Interested
Today we have the OVERLAND automobile
car of convenience and comfort that annhiaes space
without any effort on the part Of the occupants---a
method of conveyance that brings JOY to the driver and
his her passengers.
When you find another make car that classes with
the OVERLAND IN appearance, performance and
endurance you will find priced far above the cost
Of an OVERLAND. The OVERLAND is one Of
those rare products that way under price, judged by
the prices of cars Of comparative value.

and broke them down in all parts OF the

unconscious Of their danger, special de-
tails OF policemen and fremen were sent
out 20 patrol the streets and watch for

The telephone lines were also broken

reporting fires doubly difficult. For = week

INSURGENTS WINNERS
Administer Body Blow to Can
non Organization.

Washington, Jan. 8-Speaker Can
non and his organization in the house
were administered a body blow when
the Republican insurgents amended
the resolution providing for an investi
cation into the Ballinger-Pinchot COR
troversy by providing that the com
mittee of inquiry shall be named by
the house itself instead of by the
speaker.
The attack on the organization was
led by Representative Norris of Ne
braska, and all of the insurgents
rallied to his support with the excep-
ton of Representative Stevenson of
Minnesota. The Norris amendment
denying the speaker the authority tC
name the house personnel of the com
mittee on inquiry was carried by
vote of 149 to LAG. The result stag,
gered the house organization. The
leaders are in conference to map out q
plan of action with view to checking
the rising tide of insurgency"
The Western insurgents who voted
against the organization were:
Minnesota-Davis, Lingbergh, Miller
and Volstead. North Dakota-Gronnap
isconsin-Cooper, Kopp, Nelson
Lenroot and Morse. Iowa-Haugens
Hubbard, Kendall Pickett, Woods and
