fCon+;nrad from last weekly

The Logan Band is practicing reg
ularly and results will be apparent
when they undertake to delight the
many who anxiousyl await their pub
lie performances.
During the coming year, should you
have an interesting local item, twould
be appreciated by your correspondent,
whose aim is to keep Logan on the
mop. Box 80 will find him.
M Mrs. Murrell Sage of Sawyer has
been the guest Of our popular post
mistress, with whom on Wednesday
she journeyed Velva ways.
Corn, potatoes, beans, poultry,
cows and hogs, as raised Logan ways
are admittedly superior and it would
now appear that even our pastures
possess peculiar merit. For during
the past week many horses have been
brought from Sawyer to recuperate.
Frank Teets and Mr.. Withers, Jr.,
iourneyed by auto, Tuesday, to "the
Vestibule Of Heaven"
Mr.. j. C. Gard one day last week
on business bent, journeyed to Saw
yer on the 500, where for many years
he was prominent merchant But
as a wide-awake, progressive individ-
ual, he was given to discern the won
drous possibilities of Logan and trans
ferred his affections and energies. His
old associates are wont to envy the
added prosperity the change of venue
afforded and in vain would he tell Of
the increasing Importance of Logan.
Several well known commercial men
discussing business prospects, quoted
proudly elevator returns, but honestly
confessed that on the day that pre-
cede the Sabbath, not one kernel was
delivered. Our friend was able to YER
ify this painful fact, but of the other
five days naught was told. Sad tho
it be, truth must out, and when we
remember Logan farmers, one-sixth
of million bushels in our one eleva-
tor, from the surrounding territory,
the gloom that pervades the market
atmosphere of our defeated neighbors,
can be readily understood. But there's
a reason. Investigate and get in on
the ground floor.
MI. and Mrs. Sherman Thompson
left on Monday for McComb, Ohio,
where they will make their future
home.
Mrs. Beebe was the guest of Mrs.
Pennewell on Friday last. BY the way,
a painful accident befell Mr.. Penne-
we'll recently. While on the way, to
rescue neighbor's horse which had
become fast in the river, in the dark
ness he fell from the bank, severely
iniuring an ankle and is at present in
capacitated. Jim Egan and Ray
Bates, and Arthur Nulph are among
those who have extended helping

THE base ball season is on and there VIII be
nothing of importance until the August and
November elections.
THE more one studies Democracy's blunders,
the more certain it becomes that the people
can not be fooled again.
THIS THOMAS R. PRESTON person is certainly
L confdng gentleman to suppose that ne
can be elected Governor.
A REPUBLICAN, as Governor has done SO
n much for Tennessee that one in the United
States Senate would look mighty good to the
people.
WHEREVER the people have chance to be
w heard, there is nothing but condemnation
for the stand Democracy has taken on the canal
tolls question.
WHY not let the be the Judge as to whether
w the shipping trust or the public is getting
,he benefit of the tolls? If the trust gets 1t all,
repeal the law,
COMES W. j. B., now, with the statement that
" the President is within his rights on the
tolls question, but he doesn't tell why ne has
been so long finding it out

IL tariff and the trusts will be busted. The
tariff was smashed, but the trusts seem to be do
ing business yet, thank you.
MO Republican worthy the name will listen tor
moment to any proposition that involves
the trading of the tried and true men who have
been nominated by the party.
WHAT THOMAS W. WILSON said in 1879 and
w WOODROW WILSON in l9l2-l4 are being
placed in deadly parallel. Being one and the
same parsonage, they make mighty interesting
reading.

we believe he does.

President by the late Democratic conven-
tion. the possibility is suggested that he dictated

the cold that prevented Secretary BRYAN

- turned to his desk. AS nobody had missed
him and WOODROW doesn't seem to need him, he
might as we'll have remained at home.
TT seems strange that the President was the only
! person to discover that our national honor
was in Jeopardy over the tolls question, and only
then after he had been in office for year.
THE President is not asking Endorsements from
ANYBODY. AS he is the Democratic party
and does its thinking, it is necessary to get his
Endorsement before anything or anybody is reg
ular.
THE Memphis Commercial Appeal says that
L this "watchful waiting" would be all right
if we only knew what we were waiting for. The
President has probably been waiting to hear from
New Jersey.
THE first gun of the Congressional fight OF
1914 has been fired and its echo will be
heard around the world. 1t will serve notice
that we, as nation, do not desire that our Ia
boring people shall starve that the labor OF other
countries may be benefited.
TOHN SHARP WILLIAMS, in admitting that
j Democrats were incapable of governing any

ID is the President trying to buy the good will
of that country? If he considers the canal zone
worth that sum now, why not go back and pay
France the difference between what the Louisiana
purchase is worth today and what we paid tor 1t!

distributors, have built up a magnifl-
cent business through the sale of
Overland cars. A few weeks ago this
company took over the New York
representation for one Of the highest
priced cars built in America, whose
makers had decided that the splendid
factory branch they have maintained
in New York city is decidedly unproflt-
able. Not enough Of these high-priced
cars could be disposed of to support
branch, and under the new arrange
ment it remains for the lower-priced
car to bring home bacon for both. No
doubt the new plan will be successful.
There are a good many dealers
right now who are meditatively wet
ting finger and holding it up to SEQ
which way the wind blows, and l be-
lieve that most of them have found
out. AT least our own affairs lead me
to think so. The great awakening has
come. 1t has developed that the man
ufacturer makes the dealer after all.
He furnishes the right car, the repu-
tation and the advertising that create
the demand. The wideawake dealer
takes advantage of these three ele-
ments in his business of distributing
and selling the car. The dealer who
ties up right and makes the most OF
his opportunity will win. The one
who ties up wrong will lose, whether
he makes the most of conditions or
not.

and of the dealers who stick tight to
those makers and their product.
THE time is long past when the
motor car is considered mere lux
ury, to be enjoyed by the few and
only possible to the few. To-day it
is counted necessity or convenience
as well as means of recreation by
the many for whom the word auto
mobile merely excited a not-to-be-
gratifled desire ten years ago. In
other words, the day Is gone when
only the rich can motor. The man of
moderate means is now just as certain
q buyer, and 1t is to him and his class
that we may look for the largest ex-
pansion In the automobile business.
True, the sale of high-priced cars
will go on, but it will not increase in
volume. Our very wealthy class Is q
limited class, and will buy in about
the same quantity few years hence
as now. But the well-to-do class is
constantly increasing. Each year sees
more and more people who are able
and anxious to buy the best of the
low-priced cars. The makers of auto
mobiles who give the most car value
at a small cost need fear nothing.
The manufacturers of high-priced cars
must either decrease in number or else
each curtail his output.
There's a case in New York that
indicates this point perfectly.

stone Motor Car Company, 'is trade
maxim which has solved the problems
Of many motorists" More than 125, 900
Studebaker automobiles bear witness
to the sound sense which this maxim
embodies. The name Studebaker has
been in the vehicle market Of the
world for sixty years.
The Studebaker line for 1914 COM
prises a Studebaker -Four touring
car for S1,050; Studebaker -Four
roadster for $1,000; Studebaker six
six landau for the motorists who
want a high-powered car, able to
easily carry seven adult passengers
The Studebaker fours are offered to
fill demand for a car with the lowest
price within reason, car which will
yield maximum in service, style, size,
appearance and general efficiency.
The Studebaker -Four" has a long
stroke, small-bore motor and is
equipped with full floating rear axle
and efficient electric system which
cranks and lights the car and also fur
nishes current for its ignition. The
seating arrangement accommodates
five passengers. The control is on the
right. The steering gear is operated
from the left front seat and the con-
troll is at the center of front compart-
ment and operated by the drivers

The equipment includes horn, extra

The "siXes" have wheelbase of 121

aside from the size and number OF
cylinders, the six and -four show
intimate mechanical relationship. Cor
responding parts in some respects are
identical.
Each model meets particular de.
mand and with the splendid line fol
