you need to do to prove the accuracy
OF this statement is to compare the
Studebaker six with any other six
cylinder car that equals 1t In power,
size. quality or any other essential
necessary to motoring satisfaction.
'Studebaker occupies an unique po'
sition In the industry. Due to over
65 years of successful business ex-
perience. Studebaker prepared for
just such an emergency as now exists
and made abnormally large purchases
of raw materials. AS long as cars
could be produced from these mater-
maintain really sensationally low
prices. Now. however, with their
huge reserve stocks of materials be-
coming exhausted. even Studebaker
will be forced to make new contracts
at the higher prices. Hence IL is OBJ
vious that Studebaker must advance
prices of all cars.
Designs Perfect.
"Today's motors and designs are
practically perfect. Few and only
minor improvements are likely TO APP
pear. Present engineers are the best
In the world-they have made the
American car the magnificent piece
of mechanism 1t is today. and many
of them may be withdrawn from au-
tomobile designing to do more i'm
portant work here and abroad.
"The car that you buy today Is sure
to be selling at a higher price In the
future-not only saving you money on
the purchase made now, but making
It worth more as a used car, after
you have had 1t for year or more.
'sIInfii Sanfamh oan soil n
Studebaker four-cylinder touring car
for 1886, and sixcylinder touring
car for $3.50. After the fifteenth OF
next. month this same four will be
increased to $1,000 and the six to

baker car now, you'll not only enjoy
II this fall and save goodly portion
Of the price that II will cost you after
September 16. but you'll save a
mighty big part OF the price It Is
likely to cost you next year"

TOLD THE SAME STORY
Stacker Suspects-15 of 'Em-Ques-
toned by Federal Officers.

Fifteen men were run thru the tenn
porary mill established at the police
station today by the federal govern
ment. They were strangers picked up
by the police during the night-men
who looked like they might be be-
tween the ages of 81 and 81. The fif-
teen men, examined one at a time by
c. c. Jackson, deputy United States
marshal, told more of their life his
tory than they had remembered in
score of years.
A stenographer took their state
ments, their answer to rapid-fire ques-
tions, and they signed the statements.
Three of the bunch were Lawrence
high school boys who stated that they
were on their way to Fort Riley where
they expected to work on the barracks
the government is constructing.
The others were from all parts OF
the United States. Two negroes were
from the south, one from Florida and
one from Mississippi. Three boys
were from Terre Haute, Ind. Part
of them carried registration cards and
the rest claimed to be outside the linn
its. Had they not been they would
have become lost in the maze of ques-
tions and answers into which Jackson
led them. But every ORE of them
came right back with the same answer
to the same question no matter when
nor how often it was asked. Not one
of the men was held for the govern
ment. Most of them will be held on a
warrant to be issued from the court
of Topeka late today charging them
with trespassing on railroad property.
They were in the bunch that took
charge" of the Rock Island train out
of Lawrence Tuesday night.
Those examined by the government
agent were: R. B. Ward, Martin
Johnson, Russell Wise. S. Pearson, H
Williams, c. Carter, F. Martin, Will
liam Helm, William McCay, H Price
David Holland, E. Johnson, H. Gull
pepper, A. Wilkerson, G. B. Shelton.
CulDepper produced papers to prove
that he is a member of the reserves
subject to call at any time. His home
is in Parkersburg, w. Va. One of the
Lawrence boys is a member of Com
pany H, Kansas National Guard.

Ford Turned Turtle
Three Badly Hurt
Auto Driven BY J. Mcmahon Turhed
Turtle. Injuring Occupants

An accident which came near re-
sulting in the death of three occurred
Tuesday evening as Mic Rupert, ac-
companied by John Mcmahon and Joe
Schrier were returning to the for
mer's home northeast Of this city
They had come to the, Murray C0un-
ty Hospital where Mcmahon consult
ed with the doctors regarding dis
located knee. About ten o'clock they
left for the Rupert home with Nc
Mahon driving. The fog was dense
and as they neared the Will Nelson
farm east Of Slayton tire blew out
and before the car could be reduced
to slower speed it zig-zagged across
the road which was slippery, going
into the ditch and turning turtle. The
driver was pinned beneath the wreck
age as was Mr.. Scrier. Rupert was
thrown clear out of the car, but in
falling injured his right arm and
side seriously. He strained every
muscle to lift the car, but could only
get it high enough to extricate Mr..
Schrier who was unconscious He
then went to the Nelson home and
got elp and called for DIR. Benoit.
With assistance the car was lifted
from Mcmahon who remained un-
conscious for two hours. All three
came to the hospital and had their
wounds dressed and Mcmahon is re-
ceiving treatment. He is not in
jured as badly as was first thought,
but will be laid up for sometime.
The car is complete wreck Slay-

To maintain fertility: The ap-
plication of manures from live
stock has proved to be the best
and most economical way of
maintaining production. Land
that is not manured frequently
becomes so depleted in fertility
that profitable yields cannot be
obtained. On light sandy lands
or lands that are subject to
drouth especially, it is important
to apply manures. Therefore even
those who this year are short of
feed owing to drouth, should
manage, if possible. to maintain
their foundation stock.
To convert waste products into
cash: Waste land and stubble
fields may be pastured, corn
stalks, straw, and other coarse
feeds. otherwise unmarketable,
may be turned into cash for the
farmer by cattle or sheep. Thru
the pasturing process it will be
possible at the same time to re-
tain on the farm valuable fertil-
izing material

meat supply of the United States
is shrinking. It is estimated that
there is now produced only one

Liability of the
New Draft Law


Registrants far down on the order
list who felt certain that they would
not be summoned until the third or
fourth army is ordered mobilized may
be the first to be called after the COM
pletion of the first army according to
the Interpretation that is placed upon
the new system of dividing all regis
trants into five classes by members
of the exemption boards.
Under the new classification ar
ranged by Provost Marshal General
Crowder, as indicated by Associated
Press dispatches from Washington,
every registrant of the remaining
100000 now called to service will
know his exact position so that his
private affairs may be adjusted ac-
cordingly. Registrants will not be
summoned for physical examination
until other questions affecting their
eligibility to service have been def
niteiy, determined.

HOW TO DRESS CHICKENS.

In the first place poultry should be
well fed and well watered, and then
kept from 18 to "a hours without
food before killing. Stock dresses

injure the appearance and are liable
to sour, and when this does occur
correspondingly lower prices must be
accepted than obtainalle for choice
stock. Never kill poultry by wiring
ing the neck.
Kill by bleeding in the mouth or
opening the veins of the neck; hang
by the feet until properly bled. Leave
head and feet on and do not remove
intestines or crop. Scalded chickens
sell best. For scalding chickens the
