1921 Was Biggest
Year For Studebaker
Sales We're 20 Per Cent. Greater
Last Year Than In The
Year 1920.

The Farmers and Merchants Pur-
chasing Corporation of this city, is
sued the following statement this
week relative tn the popularity of TIL,
Studcpaker car:
The universal popularity of Stude-
baker Cars is attested by the fact
that the corporation enjoyed the big
gest business in its history in the
year Of 1921.
The sales of Studebaker Cars were
- .'cr cent greater than in 1920, not
withstanding the fact that the total
nulnter of cars sold of all other
makes Except Ford) was 40 per cent
less +han in 1920. Stated otherwise,
Studebaker's ratio of sales was 129
and 'he total of other makes 60, as
compared with 1920.
The number of Studebaker Cars
sold In the year of 1921 in both Great
CT New York and in the Metropolitan
Distr ct exceeded the sales of any
other make except Ford.
Studebaker is the worlds largest
producer of six-cylinder cars.
The only possible explanation of
'ile popularity of Studebaker Cars
lies in their quality, durability and
dependable performance in users
Lands. Proof that the cars stand up
il service with minimum repairs is
evidenced by the fact that sales of
Repair Parts in 1921 were IL per
cent less than they were in 1919, not
withstanding that $4,000 new cars
ere sold and put in operation in
1920 and 1921. Based on the total es-
timated number of Studebaker Cars
in operation in 1921, we sold $1,000
worth of parts per car for repairs
from all causes, including accidents.
The materials and workmanship in
Studebaker Cars measure up to the
highest standards known to the auto
mobile industry. Substantially better
intrinsic values cannot be obtained
at any price. The theory that high
prices necessarily mean fine cars is
fallacious, simply because prices are
not based upon intrinsic values but
upon production costs of individual
makers, which vary widely according
to their ability and manufacturing
facilities. Obviously, high costs of
production, inevitably arising from
incompetence or inadequate manufac
tuning facilities, mean not only high
prices but actually inferior cars.
With $70,OOO,O00 of actual net as
sets including S36,0OO,OO0 of plant ia
cilities, Studebaker stands unsurpass-;
ed in ability and resources to manu-.
facture economically and give the
greatest intrinsic value possible for
a given price.

This Act OF Heroism
Deserves Special Mention

One of the greatest acts of heroism
yet to claim our attention, was that
reported in the Baltimore Sun of
Monday last. The article follows:-

Currier, an 1S-year-old lad of tina
place, ran across the ice and went II
after the boy. Three times, watchers
say, the boys were carried down, yc!
Currier fought with the one hand the
swift tide and the ice. and with the
other hand supported the almost un-
conscious boy until planks were SHOW
ed to them.
Even then Currier made sure OF
young Smiths safety before he woult
allow himself to be hauled out upon
the ice. Upon reaching the solid ice
Currier collapsed, and first aid for
both boys was given by DR.. G. Hamp-

saw the rescue from the bridge. Cur
rier's lungs were so filled with water
that the doctor had to resort to arti-

The doctor, an overseas veteran of

hibition of persevering nerve he had
seen.

Farmers Must Be
Saved From Disaster
Declares Harding
Says Government Should Aid Grow
ers In Order To. Save Nations
Industry And Commerce

Agriculture must be lifted from
the chaotic depths of imminent dis
aster and placed firmly on a thriving
basis by governmental aid if indus
trial and commercial America is to
survive.
President Harding gave the nation
this warning at Washington last
Monday in opening the national agr!-
cultural conference, called by the ex-
ecutive to effect adoption of a definite
Federal policy of encouraging the
farmer.
The farmer, Gin his hour of disas-
ter, is entitled to every support and
assistance the Government can give
him, the President declared to 40D
delegates gathered from all over TIE
country for one of the most impor'-
ant conferences eyer held in the ma
ticnal capital.
eff we fail him, we will precipitate
a disaster that will affect every in
dustry and commercial activity of
the nation" the President asserted.
The Government must do every
thing possible to ameliorate the
Critical condition" of agriculture and
its action must be immediate, the
President warned. Greater financial
aid, he said, should be extended to the
farmer, transportation facilities. rail
and water, must be expanded to meet
farming needs and every practical
proposal for watering arid land, for
retaining cut over forest areas and
for. protecting fertile valleys from
inundation, should be given full en-
couragement.
Cali this" said the President,
SHOULD be a part of recognized per-
msnent policy Not otherwise will it
be possible to keep the nation self
supporting and as nearly self-con-
tanned as it has been in the past"
The President told the delegates,
men and women, that conference
recommendations cannot be accepted
as final and that the farmer must do
something to aid himself.
at cannot be too strongly urged
that the farmer must be ready to help
himself. This conference would do
most lasting good if it would find
ways to impress the great mass of
farmers to avail themselves of the
best methods. By this l mean that,
in the last analysis, legislation can
do little more than give the farmer
the chance to organize and help him
self"
The President advocated co-opera-
tive marketing. He urged develop
ment of all water resources for bot1
transportation and power and came
out strongly for prosecution of the
st. Lawrence waterway project de"
signed to permit access of ocean-go7
Ing vessels to all Great Lakes ports.
Certainty Of long term farm loar
credits, he suggested as one means of
encouraging the farming industry.
No mention Of the agricultural
blocs" in Congress was made in the
Presidents address.

REMARKABLE RESULTS
PRODUCED BY TANLAC
Men and Women Of All Ages and in All Walks Of Life Afflicted With
Stomach Liver and Kidney Trouble Of Every Form Have Been
Completely Restored to Health by This Celebrated Medicine

Statistics show that more people
suffer from disorders of the stomach,
liver and kidneys than all other all
ments combined.
II is an accepted fact that these
troubles are directly and indirectly
the underlying cause of nearly all ill
ness. Unless corrected, such disor-
ders, however slight they may be in
the beginning, invariably become ag-
gravated, often resulting in serious
complications or through weakening
the strength and vitality, place the
victim at the mercy of innumerable
contagious diseases.
Every sufferer from these troubles
can now secure the world famous
medicine Tanlac, which, according TO
reliable reports received here, has re-
/ lieved hundreds of thousands of suf-
fering men and women in the United
States and other countries.
Restore to Health.
Men and women OF all ages and in
all walks OF life are afflicted with stom-
ach, liver and kidney trouble of every
form, some Of them Of long standing
and chronic nature, and others severely
complicated, have been completely re-
stored 20 health by this celebrated
medicine
Some OF these people were weak,
thin and nervous and apparently on
the verge OF collapse. Others seemed
fairly well, yet complained of severe
pains in the abdomen or in the back
and sides, headache, shortness of breath
and dizzy spells. Many told of sour,
gassy stomnchs, coated tongues and
foulness of breath, severe constipation,
loss Of appetite, sleeplessness at night
and of terribly detected, depressed
feelings.
