Endurance Gave Ii Mastery
On the Speedway

Nothing shows the dominance of the
Super Six principle more clearly than
its success in high speed racing. 1t was
never intended for a racing car. Yet,
pitted against the worlds fastest cars,
some of which cost as high as $25, 900,
the Super Six won, time after time, be-
cause it could maintain the terrific pace
without self-destuction.
Ever since Hudson made those rec
ords it has been the largest selling fine
car in the world. Each year the demand
increases. BY no possibility will all who
want Hudsons be able to get them.
You should place your order now for
your Hudson, even though delivery is
not desired until summer.

Why Doesn't Our Phone Ring!
By Grant M. Fly de

Browns are on the same tele-
phone line with us, Dad, for l can
hear Jack talking sometimes, but
our phone doesn't ring when theirs
does. Why?"
It's because of a new system of
selectiye ringing for party lines
which was recently invented. Most
cities have it now to replace the old
system in which each party had a
different number of rings. To un-
derstand this selective system, you
must know what goes on inside a
telephone.
"Trace the wires in the drawing,
which is a diagram rather than an

a telephone. The whole business,

Frances was told the secret but
that we will not listen to, now.
Next morning, Mr.. Cawell told
Mr.. B0rton he was welcome to use
his car, and so Mr.. Borton drove off
with all of the children, including
Frances, while Mrs. Borton pre-
ferred to stay at home with Mrs.
Cawell. Frances acted as guide to
Mr.. Borton, telling him when to
turn, and etc., but fortunately
there were not many turns to
make. Finally, they arrived at
their destination, a beautiful little
country home.
They went out to see the pony,
and pretty little pony it was!
After everyone had patted and
talked to it the children went up to
the house to get a drink. Betty
spied an old-fashioned flower gar
den and she rushed to it, Moreno
and Frances following as soon as
they had a dring. The twins found
some playful kittens and immedi-
ately devoted their time to them.

APLUCKY STRUGGLE

Roger Vane was turning the cor
ner of Main street onto State street
when his attention was attracted
by seeing two ruffians leaving the
entrance Of his fathers barn.
Roger, suspecting some sort of
mischief, thought he would investi-
gate. He turned his steps toward
the barn. Just as he entered the
barn, he was stopped by two more
Of the meanest-looking men he had
ever beheld.
The larger of the two grabbed
Roger and asked him several ques-
tions. The answers to these Roger
firmly refused to give. Finding
him so determined, the smaller
(Tom by name) said he should
come to the point at once. He told
Roger that they were stationed
there to watch the movements
about his home. your father is
not a friend of ours, and he has val
uables in his possession which we
must have but do not know where
they are kept. You can give us
some valuable information"
Roger replied that he would
never enlighten them in this
matter.
Tom said, "All right, sonny; suit
YOURSELF" Showing signs of i'm
patience, he grabbed rope which
hung near by. He bound Roger to
a post, beckOned his companion to
follow him, and they left the barn
together.
They had been gone some time
when Roger heard heavy steps.
Looking up, he saw them re-enter
the barn. Tom, looking attentively
at Roger, asked him il he loved his
father. His face expressed a look
of great pleasure when the little
fellow passionately replied, VERY
dearly, sir"
The ruffiarr said, "Well, we have
him within a short distance from
here and now, if you don't answer
the questions which l asked, your
beloved father shall suffer for your
silence"
Roger, who indeed loved his
father beyond all other earthly
possessions, turned his little face
away. The tears, which he had
tried so hard to keep back, stood
thick in the large blue eyes.
What should he do-keep silent
and sacrifice his dear father? No,
Never! Or, should he give the in
which these towards
wanted and cause his father to be
ruined financially?
There seemed to be no question
between the choice, if choose he
must. Still, there was look of de-
in the little face which

In Boundary county the voters

able the past two years to carry on the
business of the district without in
creasing the county tax levy a single

without sacrificing to any degree up

look forward for even greater results
