I'D you ever hav. the Sandman
By THORNTON w.

Did you ever have the Sandman
Pm your eyes all full OF sand.
When there was no bed at handf
II you have had that happen then
you know exactly how BOBBY Coon
telt when lac was obliged TO crawl
out OF Priokly Porky's bed and 20
hunt for another. lie was so very.
very sleepy that he felt almost as
q he could go to sleep standing
right on his feet. This was because
he had been up all night and awake
most OF the day before Now he
wished that instead OF spending the
night In fishing and playing about
the Laughing Brook he had hunted
for a house.
To be gleepy and not be able
TO sleep makes Bobby cross just az
II does most folks. So as he bur
ried away from the neighborhood of
Prickly Porky and his thousand lit
tie spears he was In a bad temper
or course he knew Il was his own
fault that he was In such a M, and
this didn't make him feel a DIT bet
ter. In fact II made him feel worse
IL usually Is that way.
So he grumbled TO himself az he
went along. He didn't know where
he was going. He was too cross
and sleepy and upset to do any
thinking. So he went along aimless-
ly looking for place where he
might sleep undisturbed. Al least
he came TO & tall stump, a great big
old stump that had stood I'm the
Green Forest for years and years.
Bobby climbed TO she top OF IT, II
was hollow. just "a he mad hoped.
Indeed II was just shell. and look
ing down Bobby saw with great
deal OF Subtraction that the bottom
was covered with great mass OF
rotten wood. II would make a very
comfortable bed Moreover II was
plain that no one else was using K.
Bobby sighed with satisfaction. II
was Just the place for a good long
nap. He could sleep there all day
In perfect comfort. II wouldn't. do
fer a hoGle, because the top was
open 10 tie sky. and On a rainy
day the inside " that stump would
soon be very w.t. place indeed.
Put for a nice long nap on a pleas.
ant day II would be- hard to beat.

Bobby sighed again. looked all about

Now. tho he thought no one saw
him go into the old stump some one
did. That some one was Peter Rab-

out Of curiosity He had hidden
behind trees so as TO keep out OF

Hudson Super-Six Fleet
To Take Place of Racing Team

mo racing team entered for the
classic automobile speed events this
year will be watched by the motor
ing public with such interest as the
Hudson Super-Six fleet" said Guy L.
Smith, Hudson distributor.
"That is because the Hudson race
performance will represent the en-
durance qualities of the Hudson
Super-Sm stock car. Except for a
few changes the chassis of the Hud-
son racing specials will be the stock
chassis Of the Super-Six. Hudson
wanted to adhere as closely as pos
sible to the stock car structure, so
that what its racing feet does under
the punishment of the speed events
will reflect what can be expected of
a Hudson stock car in any endur-
ance test.
Hudson expects every car entered
to finish among the leaders. The ex-
action is that every one finish in

Railroad Company Claims
DAMAGES From Auto People

In the days of the horse age, rail-
roads were besieged with claims for
the death Of and injury to horses.
Sometimes the owners got damages
and sometimes nothing, but the
horse always got the worst end Of
the deal, for it never was match for
the locomotive.
With the coming Of the motor era,
the worm has turned. The other day
the Chisholm & Moore Manufactur-
ing company of Cleveland received
the following letter from superin-
tendent of the Pennsylvania lines:
81 beg to advise that January 8, last
while our engine No. 774o was pass
ing over East Fifty-third street very
slowly, speed about three miles per
hour, it was run into by your auto

our locomotive to the extent of $l.3l."
The automobile people found that
the driver of their Packard truck had
been at fault in trying to push the To-
comotive off the track. The truck
suffered no injury, yet they paid the

MOTOR FIRM PAYS
PREMIUM ON BONDS
Cole Company Accepts 500
Bond at Value of $102 on
Purchases Of Their
Automobiles.

Liberty loan bonds are already SELL
ing at premium. The Cole Motor
Car company of Indianapolis, makers
of the Cole Eight automobile, will
take Liberty loan bonds in payment
for car and every 500 bond will be
accepted at a value of $l02.
This plan was put into effect May
Is and has met the enthusiastic ap-
proval of government officials, includ-
Ing Secretary McAdoo. Bankers also
approve it. The Cole motor car people
themselves urge other manufacturers
to adopt the same plan because it
shows the people that Liberty loan
bonds are just as negotiable as cash
and that they are likely to rise in
value and purchasing power.
Under this plan person who wants
to buy the seven-passenger Cole tour
ing car, for example, the price OF
which is $l,795, can buy $l,750 worth
of bonds for $l,7S0 at any bank. He
can turn these in to the Cole Motor
Car company or its sales agents in
any city for $l,7S5, and pay the other
$40 cash and get his car at total
cost of $1,760.
Money Works Double.
This simply amounts to making
money work double. The buyer buys
the Liberty loan from the government
and then turns around and makes it
buy his motor car.
Added attractiveness is given to the
proposition because the Cole COM
pany announces that it will allow pur-
chasers to buy back their bonds in
cash at any time they desire.
The financial advisers of the big
company predict that general adop-
ton of this plan in the country's busi-
ness would give an impetus to the
country's war loan far greater even
than that to similar government war
loans negotiated by the European
governments since 1914.
1--WE may be too old, or otherwise
physically disqualified for service in
the trenches, but every man can lend
his support in this first great cam
paign for money" said A. F. Knob
loch, general manager of the Cole
company. 1T is our first battle and
we are going to win a glorious vic
tory.
Helps Both Sales.
However, the thought occurred in
our minds that perhaps an automobile
sale might interfere with the pur-
chase of a Liberty loan bond. We
want to sell automobiles, but we are
more anxious to see the Liberty loan
bonds sold. Therefore, we urge all
prospective purchasers of Cole cars to
give preference to the support of the
government and first invest their
money in Liberty loan bonds.
"Then, we offer to every holder OF
a Liberty loan bond, or bonds, an in
ducement to reinvest that bond, or
those bonds, in partial payment, or
full payment for his Cole automobile,
at the rate of $102 for each and every
$l00 included in the original bond in
yestment.
1--WE suggest that every American
business man who has anything to sell
adopt the Cole Liberty loan plan and
thereby make liquid the Liberty loan
bond just as the $l-bill is liquid in

Rare-Beauty-- High-Duty

Now we crown performance
and quality with year-ahead
beauty. The new Hupmobile
bears the style distinction its
inner virtues deserve. We do
not look for its equal in beauty
this year.
1t is, in fact, the mostfbeauti-
full Hupmobile we have ever
built. 1t carries a finer finish.
1t is more luxurious. 1t is still
more complete.
We could have paid for this ex-
ira value by saving on inner
quality. Instead, we increased
