The Columbia Record in a recent
issue has the following to say in re-
gard to the matter:
rs. j. Leaphart, of Lexington, grad
uate>of the university and we'll known
in Columbia: is being urged by many
citizens Of RicIland and Lexington
counties for appointment as United
States marshal for the Eastern dis
trict of South Carolina under the Re-
publican. administration, and it is
thought likely that Mr.. Leaphart will
receive the appointment.
"Mr. Leaphart has been in Wash
ington recently and has conferred
with President Harding, Chairman
Hays and others, and he has the en-
dorsement also of j. w. Tolbert who,
it is said, will be in charge Of the
patronage for this state. 1t is under
stood there are no other candidates
for the Office and that Mr.. Leaphart
will probably be appointed"

LARGE sum
SPENT FOR FOOD
South Carolina Sent Over Hun
dred Million to West Last
Year-Could be
Kept Here.

Columbia, March 14.-South Caro-
1inians imported s111,oo0,000 worth
Of food and feedstuffs from the West
last year, according to figures COM
piled by the committee on banking,
legislation and warehousing Of the
South Carolina Division Of the Am
erican Cotton Association. The i'm
portation of this enormous amount of
foodstuffs into the state was made
necessary by the eagerness Of the
farmers to raise cotton, many of them
planting seventeen acres to the plow.
In statement issued yesterday the
association declared that there was
no reason for the farmers Of the State
to be panic-stricken over the fact
that the price which cotton is now
bringing forbids them planting over
half crop of it next year. It is de-
clared that study Of the figures col
lected by the committee on banking,
legislation and warehouses Of the as
sociation ought to convince them that
diversifcation of crops in South will
prove profitable.
According to the committee state
ment that importation Of food and
feedstuffs into South Carolina from
the West last year as follows: Corn
$4,000, 900; Mixed feeds s13,oo0,ooo;
Hay s12,oo0,000; Oats, s1o,ooo,ooo;
Flour, $4,000, 900; Beef, s15,ooo.ooo
Bacon, $4,000, 900; Eggs and butter,
$4,000, 600; Canned goods, $4,000
900 making grand total of SILL
900, 900. N~-'a
"These figures says the associa-
ton "are purchases, from this state
only and every item must be paid
for in cash before the foods are de-
livered together with the freight. This
amount could be- spent at home if the
farmers Of South Carolina would get
their minds off of cotton for few
minutes"

TO THE FARMERS OF SOUTH CAROLINA:

It is generally agreed that 6,0o0O O00-bae crop of
cotton this year would net the South just much as
12000 0OObale CROP The chances are it would net us
more. Why should the farmers of the South raise g.
100000 bales of cotton to give away when food and
feedstuffs could be raised that land?
South Carolina imported $111,000,O00 worth of
food and feedstuffs from the West last year. South
Caronas cotton crop last year if sold on basis of lOc
pound would net the state approximately S75,0OO,-
000 In other words cotton does not net us enough
to pay for the food and feedstus which we mpor
ting from the West but which could really raise at
home.
There is no use of raising cotton this year when
there is already enough on hand to supply the world
for year and half Let's raise food and feedstutfs
and keep the 900 that spent last year for
them at home this year:

The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1921-04-14

The moderate prices of Stude-
baker cars are made possible
only because of, first, the re-
duction in overhead costs, re-
sulting from quantity manu-
facture in factories equipped and
laid out to eliminate waste Of
material and time, assuring
maximum efficiency; secondly,
the elimination of middlemen's
profit from parts made in Stude-
baker factories, such as cast
ings, forgings, stampings, mo
tors, axles, transmissions,
bodies, tops, etc.; and, thirdly,
the comparatively light weight
obtained by scientifically bal
anced design.
The reduction in manufacture
ing costs resulting from these
three advantages is saved to
the buyers of Studebaker cars.

greater car value per pound of
car weight than is possible
where these conditions do not
exist.
In design, performance, and
quality of material, Studebaker
cars are first grade and the
prices at which they are sold,
when figured on a basis of
price per pound of car weight,
will compare favorably with
the prices of heavier cars,
which, because of heavy weight,
frequently sell at much high
er prices.

the largest and most complete

automobile industry. Special

Studebaker owns extensive
heat-treating plants, where all
steel parts are treated and
hardened to withstand severe
strains and long wear.
Many of the heat-treating
methods which are now STAN
dard in the automobile indus
try were developed in Stude-
baker laboratories and plants.
Studebaker owns it's founderies,
forge plants, stamping plants,

The frames of Studebaker

and strong enough to meet all

The Studebaker GLASSES have
been designed throughout with
these fundamental characteris-
tics in view, and no effort or
expense on the part of the En-
cheering Department has been
spared to produce the best re-
suits.
The method of mounting the
transmission on a sub-frame
permits it to be carried in an
intermediate position on the
chassis, insuring better weight
reduction.
The Importance of accessi-
bility has been kept in mind in
the design of the Studebaker
chassis. Parts have been so

The real worth and ability of

sis, be judged largely from the
standpoint of the correctness of
it's chassis design and the con-

The feature to be sought in
the modern automobile chassis
design are simplicity, proper
distribution Of weight and ac-
feasibility, combined with
