Why 1t Endures

The thing we fight is friction. That
wastes the power, and it causes wear.
1t is friction that destroys machinery.
IN the Super-Six motor friction is al
most ended After thousands of miles
under tOp-speed strain, this motor has
shown no evidence Of wear.

saver in the form of radiator shutters
that control in part the heat of the
motor We add a motormeter. We
put a primer at the drivers hand. We
use a patent pneumatic carburetor
which adjusts itself to every engine

We are using bodies which, in beauty
and luxury, excel anything you've
seen. We use plated upholstery made
Of rare-grade leather. We have finish
which is wonderfully enduring.
But the Super-Six motor means more
than all. 1t means performance such
as no other car can match. 1t means
endurance such as other cars can t hope
for. 1t means pride in your car.

The difference Is enormous. This

ing has ever matched it.

forced to curtail feeding operations.
Many discontinued entirely. Thous-

reasonable In price. Cattle have been
going into abattoirs this winter that
would have ordinarily gone to the corn

lighter in weight and the dressing per-

TAX LEVY FOR

STATE TAXES GO UP
COUNTY LEVY is REDUCED
School Districts All.Figure Out Moaey
Necessary to Carry C0uFse ef Ed
ueattsn Thru Anether Year.

The principal business developing
at the meeting Of the county commits
sioners. held Wednesday, was the af-
ilrmationof tax levies for the cur
rent year.
The increase in state taxes takes a
big bite out of US, the rate being in
creased from POT mills to 3.l2 mills,
and this on the valuation of approx
imately sixteen million, takes a cool
$4,000 of county money instead Of
$4,000 as in 1916.
However, the commissioners have
been very lenient with us, reducing
the total county levy from 9-s mills to
81 mills, which is substantial re-
duction. This has been possible by
the refunding of the county bonds,
which takes off the burden of about
$4,000 year in sinking fund for five
years, a natter which comes in very
handy for our over-burdened pocket
books.
The road and bridge fund is left at
% mills as last year, county high
school raised from 6 to 8 of mill;
support of poor, reduced from Z to
6 of a mill. The fund for ordinary
county revenue is set at "a mills with
