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." Manawa Park Opens Today
With Patriotic Atmosphere
Big crowds are expected to visit
Manawa park at Lake Manawa today,
as this is the opening day of the 1917
season. The park, freshly improved
and redecorated, is ready to accomo
date the largest crowds of its history,
says Manager C, I. Palm. It will be
open for the first arrival this morning.
Besides the many flowers and the
color scheme of green and white, flags
will decorate the buildings. The pa
triotic atmosphere will be carried out
further in the afternoon matinee and
evening concert by Green's band. This
band will play every evening this sea
son, with matinees on Sundays and
holidays. Another patriotic concert
will be played Wednesday, Decora
tion day.

Prove HUDSON Endurance
Note What the Super-Six Did
Perhaps the Hudson record which
means most to you is the ocean-to-ocean
record.
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.

Make a list of requirements such
as beauty, comfort, convenience,
horsepower and the like.
Overland ha9 won the verdict of
over 400,000 owners after a
comparison of such items. . A
If this is not enough to convince
you, then judge your Overland
by what you cannot see.
You cannot see the accuracy, the
minute care, nor the patient
perfecting that are practiced
in Willys-Overland manufactur
ing methods. 4B!
But you may know that these
things are definite Willys-Overland
accomplishments else it
would never have been possible
for us to market those 400,000
cars. ,
You cannot see the quality in the
materials the scientific reasons
for designs, nor the proven
superiority of every part and
principle.
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.'
The Big Four the car that made
Overland exemplifies this ex
,cess value. The experience ac
cumulated in the building of
over 300,000 similar four
cylinder Overlands has contrib
uted directly to the develop
ment and perfecting of this
model.
.Test its superior mechanical ex
cellence and remarkable easy
riding qualities come in and
judge for yourself its incom
parable beauty of design.
