a meeting there, and all the citizens
of the town displayed genuine in
terest.
The historic old Mississippi College
never presented a more brilliant or at
tractive scene. The decorations were
most artistic. The colors and pennants
from each college floated gracefully
from the walls while the rostrum was
lovely with graceful ferns and fragrant
flowers. The Mississippi College band,
led by Prof. H. L. Mcdonald, rendered
a most attractive musical program
while the vast audience entered en-
Enthusiastically with cheers and encour-
agements for their respective favor
ties.
DR.. J. W. Provine, president of Mis-
sissippi College, master of ceremonies,
after short explanation of the occa-
Esion of the assembly, introduced the
first speaker, L. f. Hendrick, represen-
tatiye Of Millsaps College, who spoke
to the subject, What Will You Do
About IT," The next speaker intro
Iduced was L. P. Lane, of Mississippi
College, who discussed the subject,
National Preparedness" The third
Ispeaker was Fl. L. Simmons, A. and
I'M. College, subject, "Shall America
lStand?" Fourth speaker, Boyce Hen
derson, University of Mississippi, sub
Iject, Something That Caesar Said.''
Last speaker, G. P. Ritchey, State Nor
lmal College, Hattiesburg, subject,

| Never was interest more intense
throughout the exercise, and never did
young men show a deeper feeling Of
their responsibility nor fight harder
for their respective colleges.
The chapel was filed 70 overfowing
and the largest crowd that has evel
attended any event at the college.
The judges were Chief Justice sgd
ney Smith and Justice J. B. Holden
of the state Supreme Court, and Dl
William Mercer Green, rector of 81

wheat will not produce a head"
Dean Woods said that the nan who
wanted the wheat and therefore were
encouraging the farmers to sell were
somewhat responsible also for the dali
ly decreasing supply Of good wheat in
the country. He said that no help in
the seed situation can be expected
from Canada as the crop there, except
in certain localities, was poor.
H. A.. Willoughby, vice president Of
the First and Security National bank,
said that the situation is most urgent.
He pointed out that the fact that the
present neglect to save good seed will
not show its effects until the fall of
1917, does not affect it's seriousness.

ARMERS WARNED TO
SAVE GOOD SEED
FOR 1917 WHEAT

Following an editorial in The Com
mercial West, Oct. Z, Dean Albert F.
Woods of the agricultural college of
the University of Minnesota and the
Northwest Development Committee OF
the Minneapolis Civic and Commerce
Association, issued a warning to save
out some Of their best wheat for see:l
despite the temptations of the high
grain prices. Such action must be TAX
en-, they declare, in order to avoid a
wheat crop calamity that may easily
accur in 1917.
Dean Woods said that the great
quantity of shriveled wheat produced
this year had sent prices for wheat Of
good grade SO high that farmers gen.
orally are selling most Of their good
wheat and retaining the poor grain
for seed.
This low quality of wheat, Dean
Woods said, unless crop conditions are
unusually favorable next year, will
either produce no crop at all or an ex-
tremely light and poor one.
"Unless the farmers stave off the
attraction Of the immediate dollar and
hold their good grade wheat for seed,
there will in all likelihood be a real
wheat famine neyt year," said the
dean.
"The farmers will profit by holding
cut. TIL efarmer who sows good
wheat will have a crop; the farmer
who sows shriveled wheat may have
none. Wheat will be high neyt year,
also, it it probable.
sour tests and tests generally have
shown that the shriveled wheat will
terminate, but that it will produce a

year or even less unfavorable condi-
lions, will kill this weak plant. Witt,

lier and when they are fresh. The
farmer does not have to start at 8 a.
m., as does the mar who depends on
the horse and cart to carry his pro-
ducts.
The farmer with a milk route has
found the motor a indispensable. In
the hot summer the milk can be de-
livered with rapidity, and the saving
in not having the milk sour before de-
livery is sufficient to pay for gas and
oil for a month. The farmer who
owns an automobile cannot only save
time and money, but on Sunday or in
the evening his family can be whirled
through the country to visit distant
friends. It will take a family to
church and many other places that

WHAT AUTOS MEAN
TO THE FARMERS.

The automobile has done much for
the farmer and his family. It has
been the cause, according to a Grand
Forks auto salesman, of keeping
thousands Of boys on the farm who
would otherwise have drifted to the
cities. It has made the boys content
ed with farm life. because after the
days work was done he had a fine
pleasure to occupy his mind-the auto

Cylinders En- Bloc

Studebaker was the first to cast successfully sx
cylinders in one block. Advanced ideas: in enri-
nleer1ing, and factory practice put Studebaker in
the lead: Today 1876 per cent of all manufactur-
ers are following Studebaker's example:
Block Cast Motors ........73.6 per cent
Gast IN Pairs ;....:..... 1914 per cent
cast Slngly and in Threes. 100 per cent

Tinker Bearing

Most manufacturers hesitate to equip their pro
nct completely with Timken bearings because Of
Grafton stand in the way for a moment. And
Studebakeri is one of only fourteen manufactur-
ers to offer the full Timken equipment; the aver
SLIGO.

Power

The farmer needs power in an automobile. The
rough, heavy roads and steep hills of the country
make power the basis on which most people liv-
ing in the country are sold. From the very be-
ginning Studebaker has demonstrated the SUI
periority of the Series II in this respect. These
figures clinch the argument.
The average price of all the 1O5 Six, Eight and
Twelve cylinder cars manufactured is $1917, yet
the Studebaker SIX at $1085 is 100 per cent
ahead of the average of these los cars in power.
Of the few which equal or exceed the rating of
the StudebakerSIX in power, the average price is
$2900-almost three lines as much as the Stude-
baker SEX. Why the additional $500?
The average price of all of the 70 four-cylindcr
cars is $1278, yet the Studebaker FOUR at 1915
is 78 per cent ahead Of the average of all of them
in power. Out of the few 70 four-cylinder cars
which exceed the horsepower rating of the Stude-
baker FOUR, the average price is $2O22. Again
nearly three times the price of the Studebaker.
Why the additional $1147?
But not only in POWER but in EVERY i'm
portant feature of construction, regardless of cost
Studebaker uses design recognized by the ma
jority as the BEST.
The styles in construction which have proven
best in the opinion of the public and the automo-
bile engineering profession, stand. as the guide
for Studebaker-andeit has always been a Stude-
baker policy to continually improve it's product
The Devils Lake world and inter-ocean. (Devils Lake, N.D.) 1915-1920, 1916-10-19
Springs

Studebaker has always held to the superiority
of the three-quarter elliptic spring for rear sus-
pension, and now, after three years vigorous
campaigning, the advantages of this type, in spite
Of it's higher cost, make It the ruling favorite.
And the three-quarter elliptic spring is used al
most exclusively on all higher priced cars:
Three-Quarter Elliptic . f. .46.5 per cent
Cantl!ever .28.7 per cent
~Semi-Elliptic ........... 100 per cent
Platform ................ 63 per cent
miscellaneous ............ 76 per cent
The Devils Lake world and inter-ocean. (Devils Lake, N.D.) 1915-1920, 1916-10-19
Rear Axle

Studebaker has from the beginning led the
field in the simplicity, safety, lightness, and eff
cheney of rear axel design, and in pursuance Of
policy has adhered strictly to the full-foating
rear axel. he preference is indicated as follows:
Full-Ffoating ..:..:...... 61.1 per cent
:. Semi-Fdoating ....... 21.8 per cent
The Devils Lake world and inter-ocean. (Devils Lake, N.D.) 1915-1920, 1916-10-19

This convincing evidence of Studebaker superiority has increased
Studebakers production 100 per cent. Studebaker has produced and
sold $4,000 cars in the last fourteen months-more seven-passenger
SKIES and more seven-passenger tours than any other manufacturer
ever produced in the same length of time.
The Devils Lake world and inter-ocean. (Devils Lake, N.D.) 1915-1920, 1916-10-19

In the Studebaker car the buyer finds the ONLY CAR which COM
plnes the consensus Of the opinion Of the engineering professions; which
50 completely satisfies the popular demands of the public who rule the
fashions; which exceeds in power, comfort and size the "averape" or
standard carat q price from $500 to $500 below the average. WHY?
BECAUSE IT'S A STUDEBAKER!

said.

Starting System

Studebaker was one of the first to us an cleo
trio starting and. lighting system. Studebaker-
Wagner two-unit system is now used instead Of
the less efficient single-unit system of the first
year. And again Studebaker superiority is prov
ed by the comparative percentage:
Two-Unit Systems ........5 $40 per cent
Single : Unit Systems ....49.O per cent
Still more convincing is the use in Studebaker
cars of the six-volt system. There are other volt
ages used, but experience has shown that the six
volt is the most eficient-and consequently it is
used by Studebaker
Six Volt System ......... 69.2 per cent

Seating Capacity

Of the 100 models of all classes of Fours, Skies
and Fights selling for less than $1,000, the Stude-
people. And there are only three models of all
cars selling for less than $1,000 which have a
seven-passenger capacity.
The average price of all seven-passenger, four.
cylinder models is $2738, three times the price of
the Studebaker FOUR. The average price of all
$4,000, three and seven-tenths times the price OF
a Studebaker SIX.

Ignition

The simplicity, the reliability, the durability and
the freedom from all trouble of the generator
battery ignition system haze proven that Stude.
baker was right in adopting it in preference to
magnetic ignition. OF the two types of ignition
on the 439 models, the percentages are as follows:
Generator-Battery ....... 1914 per cent
Magnetic $50. .:....... 1876 per cent

Price

Price is only one factor in making up the COM
posite whole of GREATEST VALUE" The
average price, the standard with which to COM
pare all automobile prices, is made up from 439
models of 1917 cars, and shows that the standard
per cent-higher than the cost Of a Series II Stu
debaker SIX. 1t is $315-almost rs per cent
above the average cost of the eight Studebaker
models. Every Studebaker purchaser knows the
benefit of the $500 to $500 saving.
But, understand us, a Studebaker owner does
prove he gets greater value, point BY point, not
only in the average of all cars, but also in the
average of all cars of the same and higher price
classes.
Every important feature of Studebaker con-
%struction is used either by the largest number of
makers whose cars sell for a much higher price
than Studebaker-a still higher endorsement.
The Devils Lake world and inter-ocean. (Devils Lake, N.D.) 1915-1920, 1916-10-19

and to merit the confidence and endorsement of
the public.
And now, point by point, from the data as given
by the motor car journals, we show you the proof
Of every important feature of Studebaker con-
struction has been adopted by the majority of
motor car builders.
FOurs and Skies
Popular demand has centered on cars of four
and six cylinders, hence Studedaker confines it.
self to these two types. The wisdom of this policy
is shown in the classification of all cars shows
that Fours and Skies together constitute 1913 per
cent of all cars manufactured. The division is as
follows:
Fours Observation-Disclosures. 44.7 per cent
0AASS per CcuG
Fights ............... 11.6 per cent
IWelves ................. &c per cent

Gasoline Feed System

line capacity, and to insure a positive and even
flow of fuel to the carburator, S. per cent of man
ufacturers have adopted the vacuum feed. The di-
vision is as follows:

Gravity Feed .........-...34 4. per cent
Pressure Feed ........... .1o.6 per cent
The average price of all Fours using Vacuum
Feed system is $3.50; of all Skies using it, the
average price is $1628-yet we find it in the Stu
debaker at much less money.

Fours and Skies
L-Head Motor

Of the 439 models of 1917 cars, Ill per cent
use the L-Head type of motor exclusively. If the
demand were for valve-in-head, T-head, or sleeve
valve motors, the percentage of these types would
trend of public demand and it proves conclusively
that Studebaker is building what the public wants

Timing Gears

Smooth, quiet. positive-running timing gears
are essential to the satisfaction Of all car owners.
Experience has shown that helical gears the the
type best suited to accomplish this result. Stu
debaker, as usual, lines up with what is generally
conceded to be the best type:
