on Thursday, March 23, 1922. the
spirit of Felix Woods Thompson took
its flight back to the God who gave It..
He had been in poor health for sew
eral years, but able to be around till
about two weeks before his death
when he rapidly grew worse, but bore
1t with such patience. Uncle Felix had
been christian for several years and
a preacher of the gospel, always ready
to go to church and Sunday school
when able. 1t can truly be said Of
him he was friend to those in dis
tress. II he couldn't say something
good of his neighbor he would never
speak evil. That is how God would
have us all do. While we will miss
him from our homes, from church and
Sunday school we feel sure he is rest
ing in the paradise Of God, from the
testimony he left. He leaves wife
who was very devoted to him, six boys
and two girls to mourn their loss,
which we feel is heavens gain.
On Saturday his body was taken to
the Matte church where funeral SER
vices were conducted by Revs. Nc
Chung and A. H. Miller in the presence
CT as large a crowd as ever assemb-
led at the Matte church. after which
the body was taken to his fathers
burial ground near the church and
there laid to rest by the side of two
children who died several years ago
The family has our sympathy in this

Merit Wins

Studebaker is a specialist. Builds
nothing but Skies. Its efforts are not
scattered. Its entire resources, unsur-
passed in the automobile industry,
are devoted to single, fixed purpose:
Ito build well, by using the finest
materials, and most skillful work
manship and to sell at the lowest
prices possible.
How well Studeba!ser has succeeded
is best answered by the records. In
the calendar yearo of 92l, Studebaker
produced and sold more six cylinder
cars than any other manufacturer in
the world.
From present indications the sales
record Of Studebaker cars in 1922
will greatly exceed 1921. Reports
from Studebaker dealers from all
parts of the country show big in
crease in sales this year over the
same period ofNl92l. Shipments Of

cars from the Studebaker factories
this year are 100 per cent more Cat
the time this ad was written) than
for the same period Of 1921.
That's proof that merit wins. Buyers
will not be fooled by wild misrep-
reservations. Motor cars are now be-
ing bought on the basis Of merit.
The intrinsic value Of today Stude-
baker cars surpasses pre-war values.
Never before have we given so much
positive value for the money.
Instead Of skimping the real value in
order to reduce the cost. low prices
of Studebaker cars are due to strict
economy, skillful purchase Of mate
rials, high degree Of plant efficiency
and well-known. continuous large
volume.
Each Studebaker model is hundreds
Of dollars lower in price than cars Of
comparable quality.
