Seven Buick Models Announced
For 1921; High Pinnacle Reached

For twenty years the Buick Mo
tor Company has adhered steadfastly
to definite principles of motor car
design and manufacture, says E.
T. Strong, General Sales Manager
Buick Motor Co. 1.-THE reward to
owners and dealers as we'll as to the
builder, for this answering fidelity
to policy and concentration of ener-
gies has been seen year after year.
And, the highest pinnacle in this
long period of Buick development has
been reached in the new line for
Nineteen Twenty One.
There are seven models for the
new season, including three open and
four closed body types.
Since the opening of the previous
season, the Buick Valve-in-head mo-
tor, even at that time brought to
high state of perfection, has under
gone strenuous tests in the Buick re-
search and experimental laboratories.
And it has passed from the engin-
GERS hands more refined motor,
capable of greater service with less
exacting demands on the driver for
adjustment and attention.
Throughout the entire chassis
mechanical changes have been intro
dpced wherever possible to make for
easier adjustments and care of
working parts.
1T is no longer necessary for one
to get under the car in order to drain
oil from the crank case. Just inside
of the hood there is a handle which
operates the plug in the crank case
In a similar way water may be
drained from the radiator by turning
an extended handle placed within
convenient reach.
Owing to the growing demand for
more roomy and luxurious road
ster, the new Model Twenty One
Forty-Fodr has been studiously de-
signed with the result that it is dis
tinctly new model.
The rear of the body has been
widened, making it exceptionally
comfortable for two passengers be-
sides the driver. There are two spa
cious compartments beneath the rear
deck, that affords ample storage
space.
"The five-passenger open car,
Model Twenty One-Forty Five, has
graceful, low appearance. The

Some interesting figures have been
collected by the University of Wis
consin, showing the relationship be-
tween education and farm improve
ment.
Eight hundred and twenty-five
farms in Wisconsin were made the
sources of the information, the idea
being to determine how education af-
fected the improvement of the farm
%nome. Four home conveniences
were selected, the bath room, the
lighting system, the furnace and the
automobile. And the farms were d.
vided into four classes depending on
the degree of the farmers educa-
tion,-common school, high school
short course and college. About 20
per cent of the common school,
farms enjoyed the four convenience
es, about &c per cent of the high
school class, rs per cent of the short
course, and over 40 per cent of those
farm homes where there had been
the advantage of college education.
Two things about the investiga.
ton are particularly interesting. In
the first place it was found that the

percentage of automobiles owned
rose steadily from 20 per cent in the
common school class of farms to
about % per cent in the college class,
whereas the average of the other
three conveniences rose rapidly from
20 per cent in the first class to over
45 per cent in the college class of
farms, thus showing that as educa-
ton increases real household COM
forts such as lighting systems, bath
rooms and furnaces are considered
even more desirable than the almost
necessary automobile.
: The second interesting result was
that lighting systems and bathrooms

driving compartment and the ton1eau
have been re-arranged slightly to
provide more room and the seats
have been changed so as to afford
the most comfortable position for
driver and passengers.
Model Twenty One-Forty Nine
the passenger open car, is con-
tinued as the ideal car for the fam
lily. Door openings have been wild
ened and more room for extra pas
sengers has been secured.
'All of the open cars are equipped
with the new Buick patented top,
which permits an unobstructed view
to all occupants. Snug-fitting cur
tains swing with the doors.
Buick closed cars have been
greatly improved also. The three
previous models have been developed
and, in addition, a new four passen-
ger coupe, Model Twenty One-Forty
Eight. This model is in every respect
full four-passenger car. 1t is built
on the same extra length chassis as
the large seven-passenger sedan. At
the right and rear of the drivers
seat is wide seat for two, in front
of which is a folding seat with up
holstered arms and back rest. When
not in use, it may be folded under
the cowl. Back of the drivers seat
and also under the rear deck, are
spacious compartments for suit cases,
bags and parcels.
Model Twenty One-Forty Six, the
four passenger coupe on the model
Twenty One-Forty Sedan chassis, is
itself roomy, comfortable car. The
interior has been re-arranged too
and an extra seat swings under the
cowl.
"The two new Buick sedans, for
five and seven passengers, Models
Twenty One-Forty Seven and Tween
ty One-Fifty, are bound to make an
even wider appeal than they have in
past seasons. The improvements have
been plentiful.
"All of the closed cars are equip
ped with storm proof windshield, an
ti-glare sun shade and water tight
doors.
''In the complete line, the Buick
Motor Company sees that new quail
ity has logically resulted from TWEEN
ty years experience in building
motor car according to accepted en-
gineering ideals.

the fact that the installation of a

makes possible the long wished for

the most natural thing is to install

light and water supply have always
been considered the first essentials

TO THE VOTERS.

1 wish to announce to the voters of Faulkner county that I am still in the race for county treasurer and am receiving so much encouragement that I feel sure of winning the race. l had started a crop before announc- ing for the office and on account of the wet weather and labor shortage have been unable to leave my crop and make a personal canvass of the county as my opponents have been doing. I believe it is more impor- tant for me to be producing some thing on the farm than to be putting in my entire time in the campaign. However, as soon as my crop is fin ished I expect to try to see as many of the voters as possible and in the meantime will appreciate anything that my friends may do in behalf of my candidacy.

CARAWAY PREDICTS
 VICTORY FOR PARTY

Congressman T. H. Caraway, in a statement made following his cam- paign speech here Saturday afternoon. predicted an almost certain victory for the Democratic party in the next presidential election. "The Repub- Iican platform and nominees" MT. Caraway said, mean that the party has fallen again into the control of the old guard leaving the Democrats 20 draw upon their full party strength and the liberals in the Republican party as well. l. is hard to see how the San Francisco convention can fail 70 write 2 platform and to nomi- nate candidates who will carry the party to an overwhelming victory"
 The reception gwen him by Faulk- ner county is heartily appreciated, Mr. Caraway said. He said the big crowd and the way in which his speech was received made his stay in Conway almost too good to be true" On account of weather conditions, he cancelled his speech Saturday night at Greenbrier and returned to Lit tie Rock. Mir. Caraway said, however, that he would make several other speeches in the county at a later date, and would inform the voters through the public press of appointments which he will make and fill at Greenbrier, Wooster and possibly other towns in this county.

London, June 21.-Thirty thousand Poles have been captured by the Bolsheviki in a new attack along the Dvina, according to Berlin wireless reports, quoting Moscow dispatches.
 An unofficial report, Moscow says, is that two entire regiments of Polish cavalry were annihilated at Polotak. This report, however, lacks confrma- tion.
