Killing Bugs and Hoeing Corn Great Lesson for Boys "The domocracy that comes from close association with potato bugs and shooting corn." This, in substance, is one big result that will come from the war, as expressed by W. H. Clerti mons, state superintendent of public instruction, speaking with regard to the thousands of the state's boys who have recently left the school room to take up work on the farm in the interest of national defense. "One of the big lessons I see in the war for boys of school age," he says, "is not the military knowledge gained, but the enthusiasm aroused for farming, for cultivation of the ground, for seeing things take root and grow. I am not sure that mili tary exercises in the grades and in high school are advisable; in fact. I would recommend rather that some form of physical drill be substituted. tiut 1 do think it a good thing that a war has happened along to bring to our people the. need of careful cul tivation of the soil. And it is emi nently proper that this need be im pressed upon the younger genera tion."

Each new claimant to greatness, for several years, has tried to prove it by a transcontinental run. A seven-passenger Hudson Super-Six broke he best record made up to last summer by nearly 24 days from San Francisco to New York. Then turned around and broke the record from New York to San' Francisco. It completed the round trip in 10 days and 21 hours over 7000 miles, including mountains and desert. And thus twice won Amer ica's most coveted record in one contin uous trip. These Test Were Official The 24-hour run, 102j-mile an hour speed, both made with stock chassis, and the 100-mile and the one-hour stock car tests, as well as many others, were official. They were made under the supervision of the American Automobile Association. They mean more than the speed records won more than the best time regardless of size or class in the Pike's Peak hill climb, by a Hudson Super-Six Special, in which 20 racing cars .participated. They Prove Endurance We made these tests just to prove en durance. Nothing else is so important to motor car owners. It is not how well a car will run in ordinary use that counts. How long and how little atten tionhow free from mechanical needs and excessivefuel and lubrication charges, . is the main thing. These tests have demonstrated that, measured by other standards, there is a yet unknown limit to the endurance of a Hudson Super-Six. What the Super-Six has proved, in performance and endurance, has never before been done. Tin Spndtttr it a ni typJu$t out Town Car LaneUuUt "SERVICE FIRST" ' Farnam St.. Omaha.

These things; ind the millions In i economies effected by WHys Overland's vast production, are vital factors in you car although, not visible to the layman's eye.1 But they are visible to the lay man's reason they are seen in continued consistent perform ance and they are shown con vincingly in the price that gives . you a better car for less money.'
