the greatest values on the automobile market

In ratio to power Studebaker cars are very
economical in their consumption Of gasoline.
In ratio to weight and carrying capacity, they
are very economical in tires-Studebaker owners
frequently get from 5000 to 10000 miles on a

Studied accessibility reduces adjustment and

The Studebaker Car
Economy is a Factor

TCONOMY is simply wise buying.
~ 1t does not mean unnecessary sacrifice
Economy is the very opposite Of boarding.
For the very term economy presupposes the
purchase of necessities, of conveniences, of those
things that make for business and personal
efficiency.
Automobiles are necessities with many of US
professional men find them well-nigh indispens-
able.
Statesmen in various lines of business often find
their efficiency greatly enhanced by the use of a
motor car.
To the family it means health, strength and
added vigor-it means increased happiness.
Anything that means all this is an economy.
Therefore, the question is one of what auto
mobile to buy
Studebaker is the largest producer of fine auto
mobiles in the world.

COAL SCARCE IN THE STATE

Louisville, KY, December 12-The
supply of coal out in the State is
alarming, according to reports to
Wiley Bryan, State fuel administra-
tor, who says the situation outside Of
Louisville is beginning to take on a
serious aspect.
\ The situation, Mr. Bryan says, is
due to the blizzard. Apparently there
is not much coal available for State
deliveries and such supplies as are
now on hand are moving very slowly
to the points where neerded.
Mr.. Bryan said there is now on
hand a fair supply for distribution
in Louisville, but the problem Of the
small towns out in the State, places
that are out of reach of coal agencies
and railroad lines, is the most dis
turbing question he has had to con-
tend with since he accepted the APP
pointment of administrator.
Among the towns that have sent in
the most urgent calls. for coal are
Georgetown and Berea. In these two
places fuel has disappeared almos,
entirely and much suffering is In
prospect unless shipments can be de-
livered by today or tomorrow.

SALE Big SURPRISE
Fans Shocked When They Hear Of
Grover Alexander's Going.

Philadelphia, December 13-The
sale of the Philadelphia National
League clubs star battery to the Chi
cago Cubs came as great surprise,
not only to say disappointment, to the
fans of this city. There had been
rumors that the club wuold dispose
of Catcher Killifer, probably to Chi
cago, but there was not the slightest
intimation that Alexander was to 60.
1t was known the management was
not satisfied with Killifers actions
last season in regard to increased sal
airy demands.
The club had trouble in signing
both men to contracts at the begin
ming of the season, Killifer finally ac-
ceptiing a reduction and Alexander
signing a two-year contract for sal
airy which was said to have made him
the highest-paid pitcher in the league.
He wanted $4,000 but the club offer
ed him $4,000. The salary demand
was compromised but the figures
were never officially given out.
Baseball fans believe the sale of
Alexander and Killifer means the
breaking up of the club that has been
a pennant contender several years,
They point to parallel case in this
city when Connie Mack, of the Phila-
delphia Athletics, broke up his won
derful team by selling Eddie Collins
to the Chicago Americans for $4,000
Mack's reasons were that his club was
mot beinb patronized and that he was
not justified in keeping high-salaried
players. The Phillies, however, have
been drawing well ever since Manager
Pat Moran took hold Of the team.
Whether William A. Baker, presi-
dent of the Philadelphia club intends
to get out of baseball is not known
here. Mr.. Baker is attending the Ma
tional League meeting. Re is for
mer police commissioner of New York
and still a resident of that city. II
I was suggested that possibly the clut

Alexander came to the Philadelphia
club from the Syracuse, New Yorl
State League team, in 1911. He be-
gan his baseball career in 1908 witt
the Central City (Neb), club In 1870!
he was with the Galesburg club of thu
Illinois Missouri League, and in 1911
he pitched for the Indianapolis team
and dlater in the year for Syracuse.
4 Alexander this year equaled Chris
ty Mathewson's record of winning
thirty or more games in three success
siye seasons. His best season was il
1916 when he won thirty-three an,
lost twelve.
Pitcher Alexander was born Il

army.
