More Power at Less Cost

Both Series "18" Studebaker
FOUR and Series "18" Studebaker
SIX are noted for their great
power, and especially their great
power in ratio to their very low
consumption Of gasoline.
1t has taken Studebaker four
years to improve, refine and per-
feet the wonderful Studebaker
motor. 1t has been solved through
the experience Of 100000 cars in
the hands of owners. It isr-only
through an evolution like this that
perfection Of power in ratio to fuel
consumption can possibly be de-
veloped.
There are no secret processes;
no basic patents; no features of de-
sign that are unknown or prohibit
ed by patents. The Engineer can
use what he wishes, but he can only.

know how to use the best features
by continually improving, refining
and perfecting through the exper-
fence of a motor in actual service.
This is why Studebaker can
truthfully claim that the design of
its motor is unsurpassed in simple
ity, accessibility and power. By the
refinement Of reciprocating parts,
vibration has been reduced to an
almost undesirable minimum.
The bearing areas of the motor
have been enlarged and increased,
giving greater durability, more
strength, still further insuling
smooth, vibfationless operation.
But you cannot appreciate the
splendid POWER Of the Stude-
baker car until you TRY it.

GERMANY SUCCEEDING WITH
HER SUBMARINE CANIPAIG,

The German submarine toll of
Briti.s merchant shipping since
February Is. as shown in official
british figures compiled recently, is
1922 vessels of more than 1000 tons
and l35 less than 1900 tons. Brit
ish steam fishing vessels sunk in
that period number rs. Records for
sailing fishing vessels are incomplete
but three weeks total was rs.
Submarines in the period given at
tackled 299 ships unsuccessfully and
the weekly percentage of unsuccess-
full attacks has ranged from 81 to rs
During the last week given-the Z
days ending with June 9th.-it was
So.
Arrivals and sailings in British
ports since the intensive submarine
campaign began have averaged about
$500 but these include channel sail
ings.
The British figures do not give the
tonnage of vessels sunk. but officials
say 5000 tons probably would a fair
average for vessels of more than
1000 tons destroyed Computing the
total at that average and putting the
average of the smaller ships at 900
tons, the total loss during slightly
less than four months submarine
warfare would reach 1.745.000 tons
or about $50, 900 tons less than the
entire worlds shipping output during
1916.

HAS DESERTED THE ARMY

Representatives of the United
States army are looking for Otto Sor-
ensen. aged 81 years. who was a
member of the 4th Nebraska Regi-
ment and served in the United States
army on the Mexican border several
months last year. He was mustered
out when the boys returned. With
the new developments all those who
served were ordered to report for
duty. Sorensen worked a while for
Chris Molgaard and was in this part
OF the country until about the 9th
OF June, when we understand he
sent telegram to the officials at
Omaha that he would reach Omaha
headquarters at once. Young Sor-
ensen is deserter from the army
and officials tell us that the penalty
is life Imprisonment or death for
the offense. Otto probably does not
realize the enormity of the offense,
and il he is apprehended. which no
doubt he will be. ii will go pretty
hard with him. Uncle Sam is not to
be fooled with and the individual
who tries it will sooner or later meet
with disaster If any of Otto's
friends knows where he is. they had
better insist that he give himself up
at once.

CANNING DEMONSTRATION FOR.
CONSERVING OUR FOOD SUPPLY

Housewives know that canning and
other means of saving food for winter
does lot towards lowering the groc-
cry bill. Just at present we are feel
ing the high prices more than ever
before. If the vast quantity of food
produced last year had all been saved
the situation would now be much
different This is true any year. The
food problem needs attention now.
Saving by Gaming drying and proper
storing are means of solving the sit
uation.
Audubon county is going to have a
campaign beginning June 25th to
demonstrate the "cold-pack' method
of canning and other ways OF saving.
A demonstrator from the Agricultur-
al Extension Department, of Ames,
will be in the county for two weeks
and will conduct about twenty DEM
onstrations in all parts of the county.
Look for the one nearest you. The

AUDUBON OBSERVES FLAG DAY

Last Thursday was Flag Day and
was fittingly observed by the rendi-
ton of the appropriate program as
published in last Thursdays issue of
the Republican. 1t consisted of pat
riotic addresses, recitations and gen
erously interspersed with singing of
patriotic songs. 1t was an enthusi-
astic crowd that was present. The
church was decorated with flags and
flowers. which certainly made a
pleasing appearance. The program
was gotten up by Mrs. j. r. Chand-
Ter, patriotic Instructor of the Ali
son Relief Corps, and much credit is
due her for the untiring efforts in
presenting such an interesting pro-
gram. Flag Day means something to
every American citizen and it is only
right and proper that public gather
ings should be held on that day.

Prohibition A SUGGEST

In common with other publications
the Independent Reporter is asked
by the Literary Digest to say wheth-
er or not prohibition in Maine has
been a success While we do not
consider that the question, thus
briefly put, is exactly fair we have
no hesitancy in answering. We re-
fuse however to be confined to a
plain yes or no. Such question
can only be answered by comparison
and, If it means anything at all, ii
asks. Has prohibition been more
successful in lessening the evils OF
intemperance than license would
have BEEN" To this, we can make
an answer without reservation. II
certainly has been.
No statutes aiming at the restraint
of crime are ever completely sue
cessful and we have ceased to ex-
pect that the evils of drink will bt
entirely abated in our day. We de
consider however that legal enact
ments. prominent among them thu
Maine Law, will be among the mos
important agencies to the end de
sired and we are very proud of tn
fact that Maine was the first stat
to adopt constitutional prohibition.
