'2-POWER RANGE
PEERLESS FACTOR
The Biggest Selling Point Is
the Loafing Range and
Sporting Range

The widely-known two-power-
range feature of the Peerless Eight
continues to be a chief selling point
for that popular car, in the opinion
of Robert j. Schmunk, sales man
ager for the Peerless Motor Car
Company. of Cleveland.
The novel construction which
gives this car all the advantages of
the so-called loafing range and at
the same time all the thrills and
surges of emotion experienced IN
driving car of tremendous speed
and brute power has gradually led
to its being known as the car with
second wind"
Practically every inquiry which
comes into the factory concerning
our car" says Schmunk, refers in
one way or another to its power
range. And, by the way. that is n
really remarkable tribute to adver-
tising. When we first referred TO
the cars two-power range advan-
tages, in our advertising, we were
told that the public would not quick
ly grasp the significance of the
claim.
However. we kept hammering
away at it until to-day it is almost
as much part of the name of the
car as the word Peerless itself.
1t most correctly expresses the chief
characteristic of the car.
When a prospective purchaser
approaches one of our dealers with
the statement that he wants a car
not distinguished for excessive pow
er and speed, but one which glides
along smoothly at a moderate pace
and one which consumes a minimum
amount of fuel, we given him q DEM
onstration of the loafing range of the
Peerless Eight. And, by the way,
the loafing range will furnish all
the speed ever required under nor
NAL circumstances.
Almost invariably the purchas-
er's curiosity will then lead him to
question the salesman concerning
the much talked about sporting
range. He wants to know what its
advantages are. Accordingly, the
salesman takes the car to some steep
grade, which the average loafing
range car could not mount. He
opens the throttle a little wider, the
soft purr of the motor changes to n
deep growl of brute power as the
double poppets are released and the
car enters into the sporting range
and is up over the grade in less time
than it takes to tell about it.
This contrast in performance
cannot help but appeal to everyone.
That is why we are selling more
passenger cars to-day than ever be-
fore in our history and, even with
our new factory additions, we are
being rushed in order to keep up
with the demand"

moplle factories and others who are
ambitious for field service where the
remuneration, including salary, bon
uses and commissions runs from
81 500 TO $4,000 a year.
This Is the day of opportunity for
technically trained men. The motor
car industry, constantly expanding
with the rapidly growing demand,
mas provided insufficient skilled men

repair or vehicles in operation. Few
persons realize how rapidly the need
for such men has come.
The factory demand for me-
chanics and men of technical knowI-
edge is growing enormously. The
field need for these men of expert
abillty Is increasing many times fas-

are not enough skilled men prepared

The new Packard technical SER

COUNTY AGENTS
NOTES
Your War Gardens

Now is the time to begin the
plans for the war gardens OF next
year.
Weeds containing seeds should be
removed and burned, but nothing In
the way of leaves, grass or rubbish
OF any kind, not containing weeds
should be destroyed. Save these
and put them on the garden to sup
ply humus. Many OF our soils are
very much inclined to run together
and get very hard. In order to pre-
vent this, get plenty Of coarse ma
terial worked into them. Barn yard
manure is excellent for this purpose
Early fall sown rye and vetch to be
spaded under in the spring is good
BY all means, plow any land that
has not been cropped this year, this
fall, leaving the ground just as the
plow leaves it, so as to allow the
weathering during the winter.
Don't burn the leaves this fall
put them into the garden for the
next years crop.

and were either given away ms relies
or stolen. No attempt was made to
publish any OF his treatises, except that
on painting. for more than 300 years
after his death. This was partly owing

A TRAITOR

DIR. Newell Dwight Hills. the ia
nous Brooklyn preacher, in a recent
sermon, offered simple and easy
method of judging our war critics.
The three tests Of the traitor. :"
he said, ARE these:
First. he tries to find something
he can criticize in Great Britain. so
rs to justify German atrocities;
Second. he will never utter
word OF criticism OF these atrocities.
but hates anybody who can prove
the German cruelty;
Third, he never tires OF insisting
that Germany is fighting for the
freedom of the seas. when in his
heart he knows that in half a cen
tury there has not been one single
English port in the world that has
not been as free and open to a Ger
man ship as to British ship"
Just apply these tests to speeches
you hear, to articles you read in the
papers. to the talk Of your friends
and neighbors. They're pretty
good touchstone of Americanism.
Treason" may be too harsh a
word to apply to those who make use
Of these arguments. But they're an
unfailing sign Of a pro-German spir.
it, of a failure to appreciate the
American viewpoint, OF a lack oi
whole-hearted loyalty to the United
States. The least we can say Of
those who are shown up by this acid
test is that they are not good Amer
