In Detroit BIG percentage of the resi-
dents are either directly engaged in the mo-
tor industry-or come into DAILY contact
with people who are.
They talk cars They study cars. They
hear gossip from all the great factories
established in the CITY,. They know the
plants and the efficiency of the manufac-
turing organizations. They know the men
back of the cars.
And as a whole, knowledge of automo-
biles is far more general and EXACT in
Detroit than in any other city on the EARTH
So when you know that for the entire
year of 1915, registrations in Detroit
showed MORE Studebakers in use than any
other cars selling at more than $500, it can
mean but one thing; that to the people Of
Detroit, people who KNOW cars and who
KNOW VALUE IN CARS, Studebaker
offers the top value of the market!
And this fact is all the more significant
when you know that Studebaker has only
been selling cars in Detroit for about half
as long as its nearest competitors have.
In half the time, Studebaker has out
stripped them all, and today you go to De-
troit, and you find more Studebakers' on the
The Glasgow courier., 1916-04-28

streets than any other make of cars costing
over $500.
A car turns corner; the chances are
largely in favor Of it's being Studebaker.
You go to the theater, to any of the leading
hotels, to any of the city's public gathering
places-and there Studebakers predomin-
ate.
And the reason is simply that Detroit has
recognized the SUPERIORITY of Stude-
baker VALUE.
Knowing the many manufacturers, they
know that the Studebaker car carries less
overhead than any of the others. They
KNOW that a larger portion of the price
represents actual raw materials than any
other car
And they know that when they buy a
Studebaker, they are buying VALUE and
not paying for lost motion and inefticiency
in the manufacturing plants.
And when with all this close-at-home
knowledge of Studebaker cars, Detroit
makes Studebaker it's own preference, can
any man who thinks of buying a car do
better than follow Detroits Choice in Cars

EDISON FAVORS T. r.
AS NEXT PRESIDENT

Oyster Bay, N. Y, May 13.-Thos;
A. Edison has come out for Colonel
Roosevelt for president.
The inventor has expressed his opln-
ion of the colonel's fitness in vigorous
terms, and in the letter in which ne
makes his views known and which he
has sent to the Roosevelt Nonpartlsan
league. he declared that Colonel Roos-,
evelt is the only man to be considered
at this time. In his letter Mr.. Edison
says:
"He (Roosevelt) has more real
craftsmanship, a better grasp OF the
most important needs of this country,
and greater executive ability to handle
the big international problems that
will arise at the close of the war than
all the other proposed candidates put
together" :,

evidence today tending to show that
young Anfield attempted to obtain a
deed from his father for valuable land

"Chewing tea comes from Siam" said
a traveller "They call it mieng. 1t IS

due to the fermentation it has under

ploy for chewing purposes is very
coarse, rank plant. 1t is gathered like
ordinary tea. but the leaves after being
compressed into plugs are buried for
fifteen days. They ferment during
burial. On their resurrection they are
very, very fragrant indeed. The STA
mese boatmen chew tea. The rickshaw
men chew it. The litterateurs chew it.

hilarated me strangely. But the after

McMurchy's special Washington dis
patch recently regarding the potato
situation north and south should
make the Northwestern farmers glad
that they have cast their lot here. Be-
cause the war demand has increased
the value of potash from $40 to $500
a ton. the southern potato raisers can
not afford to use fertilizer this year.
Without fertilizer their crop will be
reduced one-haf at least and northern
growers will find their own market
correspondingly improved. 1t looks
like big year for the potato grower
who can produce a crop without fer
tilizer and the North Dakota soil is
such that it gives record yields of the
tuber, both as to quantity and quality,
without artificial fertilizing. An in
creased acreage in potatoes this year
would seem to be a good investment
for North Dakota growers.

A GERMAN ARMY CORPS.
What It Means to Move and Feed and
, Form In Fighting Line.


Form In Fighting Line.
In the nonmilitary mind there is only
a vague idea as to the space required
for an army corps. :.
According to German writer, Ger
man army corps consists of 41,OOO men.
$4,000 horses and 2,4OO vehicles. in
Guiding the cannon. Such body of
men and their belongings on single
road make a procession about thirty
miles long
Even when in fairly close touch with
the enemy. the length Of corps is
about fifteen miles, and when the front
detachments become engaged in bat
tie it is five or six hours before the
men in the rear get into action to as
sist them.
An army Of ten corps would fight on
a front about thirty-seven miles long,
and a man who undertook to walk
from one wing to the other would re-
quire twelve or fourteen hours to do it.
An army corps consumes nearly 300
600 pounds Of food day. about 1OO,-
600 pounds for the men and 100000
pounds for the horses. Even under the
most favorable conditions it requires

DANCES AND DIES.
The May Fly Lives Only Day, oos

Foolish insect, He lives only one
day and spends the greater part OF II
dancing. You've doubtless been
guest at one Of their dances, held over
a stream on warm summers evening
You've seen the insects in swarms,
leaping up and down In fancy steps
and intricate figures. You've attended
the dance of the May flies.
There is a general superstition that
all MAY flies live only for day. AS
matter of fact, they will live several
DAYS If the atmosphere isn't too dry
Then again they may survive only
through a single night. Even this i'm
Dendinc fate cannot stop them from
dancing.
This brief lived characteristic, how
ever, applies only to the winged exist
ence of the insect. Before they grow
wings they pass through several stages.
from the larvae. which live in water
through several mOlts and transfer
nations. So while it is May fly only
for short time it exists for longer
time and perhaps we can pardon 1t II
it dances during the brief period it
lives in the air.
The fly has two pairs of wings, one
pair much larger than the other, and
two or three long, bristle-like tails. It's
mouth is small and soft and not made
for eating. The May fly has no time to
eat. He's too busy dancing.-Philadel-

OUR POSITION UPHELD

The Leader has received only two
objection to its article telling of the
errors in the report turned in by the
city tax assessor, one from Council
man West, and the letter from the
city clerk which we published yestcr-
day. The Leader is delighted to say
that not less than twenty citizens
from different walks of life have COM
mended the action of The Leader in
exposing these errors. In this morn
ing's mail are three letters suggest
ing that a commission form of gov
eminent may be big improvement on
the present form. The Leader will be
glad to have further communications
from citizens regarding this matter
for it desires to voice the sentiments
of the citizens who have to pay the
bills.
The evening leader. (Tarpon Springs, Fla.) 191?-19??, 1916-12-02

Clearwater should welcome the de-
cision of Judge Reaves in his ruling
which means the calling of an election
for the settlement of the county seat
question. Not alone this, but that
city should stand squarely on it's
rights in this matter and enter into no
trades which would have to be "put
through" by parties with personal in
terests, or otherwise.
A vote by the taxpayers of the
county will settle this question. Our
citizens are thoroughly conversant
with it, and moreover, thoroughly dis
guested with the long and expensive
jangle in the courts. An appeal now
to the supreme court would only add
to the suspense and the expense. The
county commissioners should set a
date for the election and let the vot-
ers decide.
In another column will be found an
article, taken from the st. Petersburg
Independent, in which there is a sug-
gestion by John S. Taylor in connec-
ton with a re-districting scheme to
give to st. Petersburg three members
: O. the board in return for their sup
port of Clearwater as the county seat
site.
This is plan that is certainly open
to argument, and should be carefully
considered before any trades or
schemes of this nature are agreed to.
The voters of St. Petersburg are
fully informed in relation to the coun-
ty seat matter. They know what was
promised when the county was divid-
ed, and we believe they are prepared
to stand by their promises. Call the
election and let US settle the matter.
