STUDEBAKER CARS
 CUT ANNOUNCED

"After careful study of the sltua- tion and weighing the probabilities of future, we have reduced the prices of Stakeholder cars, fob. factory, as fol- lows: Special SIX Touring $1,750, a reduction of $125; Special SIX Coupe S2,65O, Special SIX Sedan $2,75O, and Big SIX touring $2,15o, being a re- duction of $2OO each.
 "The Studebaker business has been built up during the past sixty-eight years upon the policy of large produc- tlon and small percentage of profit. We believe that the recent and rapid decline in prices of many commodities and raw materials presage lower prices for those not yet reduced, and of course, manufactured products of all kinds, which are highly desirable If production is to be sustained and unemployment avoided this winter. Our plants have operated at full ca pacity all year, and are doing so to- day, and we now have on hand unfill- ed orders for over 6,O00 ears. This over-sold condition has been constant with us ever since the war ended, and our production, sales and profits for the first nine months of this year greatly exceed totals for the full year of 1919. Nevertheless, we believe 1t is highly desirable that lowering of prices should be encouraged, and we are therefore anticipating at this time our ability to purchase materials at lower figures during the coming year, to improve labor efficiency, and to increase our present volume of bus mess, all with the effect of the lower- ing the production cost of automobiles Existing wage rates will be maintain ed at all Studebaker plants, which at present are employing 15,000 people The capital and surplus of this cor poration are now $75,000,000, and its sales are running at the rate of $100,- O00,000 per annum."

Some five or six trains have gone off the track during the last month, causing hours of delays, and the loss of couple of lives. The cars rock and shimmie along like row-boats on a rough sea. The Santa Fe will work over this track in the near fut- ure, it is understood.

IMPRISONED BEAR DEALT WITH THREATENED FLOOD.

, IMPRISONED BEAR DEALT z WITH THREATENED FLOOD. How intelligent a bear may be is well Illustrated by an Hc- count published by M. Baudou'n in sthp Bulletin of lh" French !, Societe Rationale GAcclmata- lion of a brown specimen that lives in the Hardin drS lHHutrS. Paris.
 Nhe hear had noticed that wherever there was d heavy fall of rain the lower part of lis den was flooded and the orilic" hy which the water flowed out was Oh&trUctnd. Whenever this happened he prOlitCd ny tic 0c- rnSiOn to take a good bath. Thi% iiniShCd. he used tO go tu the outlet and SCrnnc away the ,lc- h"iS that had stopped it up, un- til the water ilowrd out and hi~ home was dry. But once in an
 exceptionally heavy tlood. th" water rose through the hOlr from outside. The bear tried
 his usual mVlhUd of getting rid lf tn" water but, finding this useless. sat down to think over the new situation.
 Presently an irca came to him. A lot of rocks had been thrown into his den in an effort to raise
 the level of the floor and give
 him dry quarters. He studied these rocks attentivcly, and then
 began carrying them one by one
 to the place where the water
 was entering. He tried with
 these stones to build a dam
 against the increasing water.
 After the water receded 1t was / discovered that the bear had
 placed twenty rocks, weighing
 from twenty to forty pounds
 each.

TIRE TALKS
10-Oil and Water

lO-Oll ana water
 Much as oil is an enemy of rub Der so is water an enemy of the fabric or cotton part of your tire. Sulphur being one of the. cOnsti- tuents of rubber and being impre- gnated in the fabric, the water being allowed to mix with the sulphur creates a suiphuric acid. Same having a destructive effect upon the fabric and burning it. up.
 This is why a nude tire, i.e., one that is bereft of it's rubber cov- ering and worn thin cannot last long when allowed to get wet. While it is not practical in all cases, yet about seventy per cent of the worn tires can be recreat ed with a new tread. When done right by a workman who under stands his work it is absolutely feasible and saves you money. In many cases will deliver more miles than the original tread did. It depends largely on how the tires are placed and arranged on the car; ask us, we know how. We are anxious to be of SER VICE.

 The sky was inky black, the rain come down fast, and just as Babe wal lowed through the mud up to the plate lightning pencaed livid streaks through the sky and thunder cracked. AS Ruth swung on one of Red Fa- beTs shoots there was a tremendous clap of thunder and the ball rose and rose until it went out of sight in the dark heavens. Eddie Murphy, in right field, backed to the fence in front of the right field beachers. He reached over into the crowd but the ball dis appeared over his head.

KuBANE CONSIDERS
 CHANEY, AS WORTHY

Here's a boxing champ who names three good fighting men whom he wants to fight before he retires. We'll well, this is indeed unusual in these times of movie-acting champs. The boxer in question is JoHnny Kilbane, who, by the way, handed Young Chaney a nice little trimming not long ago. Johnny recently stated his intention of retiring from the ring after the present season, and intimated that he would like to meet Johnny Dundee, bantamweight cham pion Pete Herman and Young Cha ney-for second time-before he casts aside sthe padded mits for good.
 Kilbane recalled his last battle with Dundee, which took place in New Orleans a few years ago. This bout was a draw, and Kilbane stated that it was one of the toughest bat ties of his career. ki1bane, how ever, considers Young Chaney as his most dangerous rival just now.
