new STUDEBAKER CARS
STRIKING in Design
Reduced Weight, Greater Roominess
More Powerful Motors Are
Prominent Features.
BODY IS UNUSUALLY WIDE

w. c. Long, local studebaker repre-
sentative, has received formal notihca-
ton of the details OF the new Stude-
baker -Four" and six cars. In addi-
ton to many improvements in design
the news is of especial interest as 1t in
wolves a radically lower scale Of prices
than anything heretofore asked for cars
Of such quality.
Reduced weight, greater roominess,
more powerful motors and attractive
lines are other points Of the announce
ment.
Additional importance attaches TO the
announcement as it contained the first
intimation that the Studebaker corpora
ton has added to its line two new body
typcs-a fve-passenger Six and a
three-passenger -Four roadster.
The fve-passenger six" is listed at
s.. $50, instead of S1,575 as during the past
season.
The new three-passenger roadster is
the most striking departure from the
conventional motor car design. The
body is unusually wide, seating three
persons comfortably. That part Of the
seat reserved for the driver projects for
ward about four inches. The rear deck,
which is covered with aluminium, provides
plenty OF space Tor a trunk or other
baggage. This new model sells at 1885,
which is the same as the figure placed
on the standard hve-passenger -Four"
touring.
Without increasing the bore or stroke
of either the four or siX-eylinder motor
Studebaker engineers have practically
added about Is per cent to the power
of each. This was done by reducing
the weight of the cars without sacri-
ficing strength. and by the use of larger
valves, an improved exhaust manifold,
concentric piston rings and lighter pis-
tons and connecting rods.
Timkin bearings and a full floating
rear axle continue as prominent factors
in Studebaker construction. All models
now carry crowned tenders and over
size tires. with safety treadS in the rear.
The equipment on all models includes
the Wagner separate-unit starting and
lighting system, gasoline gauge. dimming
attachment for head lights, switch lock-
ing device. anti-rumble gasoline tank in
dash, crowned tenders, Schebler cRrbu-
retors and nonskid tires on rear wheels
To insure prompt deliveries in greater
quantities than ever before importan mt
additions have been made to the Stude-
baker plants in Detroit and South Bend.

High court OVERRULED
BY A GIRL OF Thirteen
Mrs. c. Condict. Best Dressed Wom-
an in Evanston, Ill.," Pleads in
Vain for Daughter.
CHILD GOES TO HER FATHER

A girl thirteen years old has "over.
ruled decision Of the Superior Court.
When a formal decree OF divorce was
given Mrs. Charlotte Condict. the best
dressed woman in Evanston against
her husband. Wallace R. Condict. a
wealthy real estate dealer. Judge O'Con.
nor. Of the Superior Court. decided that
both parents were eminentIy fitted to
rear their only daughter. Catherine.
He found that the child's mother and
father both possessed considerable
wealth and could afford to give Cath.
crime the best care. Nothing that either
OF the parents had ever done could give
him any reason for favoring one parent
more than the other.
This is a dificult case to decide" said
the Judge Both Of the parents are ex-
ceptionally well fitted to care for the
child"
After much bordering Judge O'Connor
decided that the daughter should spend
every Monday. Wednesday, Friday, and
every other Saturday and Sunday with
her mother, as well as half the summer
vacation.
He ruled that she should spend every
Tuesday and Thursday from to D. m.
and every other Saturday from II a. m.
to p. m. with her father. She should
also spend the other half Of the summer
with him.
During the trial. when Catherine was
asked to choose between her parents.
she said that she loved both, butt that
she preferred TO live with her father II
she had to make a choice He buys
presents for me and takes me auto rid
ing" she said.
Catherine spent the first two weeks
OF her summer vacation with her father.
While she was there her father invited
neighboring children into his home
Parties were held frequently. at which
all sorts of games were PLAYED Groups
Of children accompanied by Catherine
automobile rides. Neighboring children
and Catherine all agreed that Mr.. Con-
dict was some father
When her happy two weeks were over
she went to the home OF her mother.
Mrs Charlotte Condict. There she missed
the large back yard of her fathers house
Her playmates were absent. Further
more. she did not like her mothers nat
as well as her fathers large house.
Her longing for the home OF her
father increased every minute At last
she stole out OF her mothers home and
walked four miles to the big house Of
her father and reappeared there the same
day she had been sent away.
Catherine refused to listen to the
pleadings of her mother to return. When
she was informed that her mother wished
to speak to her over the telephone she
refused to answer II. Mrs. Condict I'm
ally was forced to appeal to Judge OCon-
nor for aid.
On last Friday Judge OConnor went
to the home OF the girl accompanied by
her mother. Catherine insisted that she
loved her father more than her mother
and refused to go to her mothers home
She has lived with her father since.
When Mr.. Condict was asked yester-
DAY II she was going to return to her
mothers home he replied: You can
drive a horse to water, but you can't
make It drink. Judge for Yourself"

BOY RAISED 4ss-PoUND HOG.
One Hundred and Six Other School
Children Exhibit Hogs at Fair.

The Louisiana state fair has been a
great stimulus to the pig club boys, and
this year there were % parishes OF the
state represented in the pig club contest
w H. DalympIe in the Breeders Gazette.
Some of the boys placed their hogs IN
the show ring in competition with wide
Unknown breeders hogs, and one OF
these youngsters took first prize in
the under six months class for sows and
won reserve junior championship. The
owner of this pig, Carson Sullivan, is a
boy only i years old.
Another boy from the same place, Cur
ley Bryant, took second in the same class
with his pig. This boy earned the
money to buy his pig last spring by
sweeping out the school-house which he
attends, and the remark was made by
one of the school men that Bryant had
"mopped up" to get his pig, and then
''mopped up. with his pig. One OF the
most interesting features of the boys
exhibit was pig, raised by one OF the
boys, that weighed 4S5 pounds at IL
months old, and alongside of it lit
ter mate that had been raised by a
neighboring farmer in the old root hog
or-die" manner which weighed only 65
pounds. This was splendid object
lesson and caused great deal of com
nent.
There were 100 hogs shown in the ex
hibit by l07 schoolboys and girls be-
tween the ages of 10 and Is years.
Harry Means had two pigs on exhibition
and IL more at home that he raised. He
has bank account of Sl05 which he has
accumulated chiefly by raising hogs.
Mary Douglas, little girl, had pig on
exhibition that is to be a starter for her
college education. She is to receive all
the money she can make raising hogs
until she is 81 years old.

WAITS RIVER
More Particulars About Mondays Fire,
Another One Here Tuesday.

At 6:l5 Monday evening, someone in
this community discovered light in the
school building, which was found to be
on fire. No time was lost in summoning
aid, but the use OF fire extingnishers
and every other available means proved
fruitless and i'll short time the entire
building was in flames. Together with
the loss of the building was the loss of
a portion of the public library, school
books and other school property. The
Riverside grange lost its entire equip
ment, the home mission society its kitch-
en- and dining room utensils, and Miss
Edith Rice, the teacher lost several ar
ticles, including much priced Bible.
Nothing was saved, as the fire broke
out in the woodshed, which was near
the entrance to the school room and
hall, and was well under way when
discovered The fire started from some
unknown cause.
The school building was built in 1883,
a one-story structure, which served for
school purposes for 81 Years. In 1909,
through the generosity of many in the
vicinity, who contributed to the amount
of about 1925, and with the aid of the
town, the house was enlarged and fine
hail built over the school room. The
hall has served longfelt need in the
community and has been used for a va
riety of entertainments. Riverside
grange has occupied it since it was or
ganzed in December, 1910. The insur-
ance on the building was 81 900.
Thanks are extended to all those who
were present, especially to those from
towns, for their persistent eff
fort in saving the home of II. B. Mar
tin, which is located nearby.
Tuesday morning, fire was discovered
in the home of John Prescott. Bed
clothing had been left in too close con-
tact to hot stove pipe and quite
little damage resulted. The fire was ex
promptly.
