And the price is $1050, remember. $1050 for a 50 horse power car! Never before in the history of the automobile industry has so powerful a car been priced so low. Il is the most powerful 6<ylinder car ever built for its weight. The new motor has a 5-inch stroke and a 3pi inch bore and exhibits many important improvements in designs that make it a wonder to drive; It's the snappiest, most racponsive and smoothiest running motor you ever sat back of.
And we are eager to have you come in and see thccar and ride in it. For you can never appreciate how good that new motor is until you have had your own hands bn the wheel—and taken the car up a hill or tnro' a stretch of rough going.
So come in. But— don't expect a "Little Six" built to fit that price of $1050. This 1916 Studebaker Six is a big, roomy, handsonje. 7-passengcr 122-inch wheel base car, and yet it is not heavy! And with even higher quality than ever.

silence, anxious :.t hea r every word from tho dlstin;.-uished orator , and until Dr. Lincoln sli-ill again prace the Litt leton platform, a lecture of .so pronounced 'merit will not be expected in o u r -lyceum course.

The Christmas Spirit AND HOW TO TRANSMIT IT
// the Spirit of Christmas has been neglected in the hurry and scurry of the daily grind, and is demanding expression;
If it's now the eleventh hour and your conscience is reproaching you;
If you just must send a "message to Garcia" and are looking for someone to help you—
That's the kind of a situation that stirs us! We have throbbing arteries reaching to all parts of the country. Our organization is composed of men and women who f^el that Spirit of Christmas, just as you dp', and who would rejoice at the opportunity to help you express it.
TOO LATE to send a present? TOO FAR to send a messenger, you say? Are you sure? Can you not arrange for it by telephone? It's never "too far" or "too late" for us.
"The following rates to typical points will approximate the cost of a three-minute conversation to other points equi-distant:

Vanished Is that o!.j forest now Ar.d withered wholly, root and bongh. Yet in all Christian rea lms of earth Springs a new forest, full of mirth
'i'hat l ights with radiant cheer Tho evergreen's eiuluring worth, And lo that wliispering prophet brings
j A glory ot the I-Cing of kings.
For all our merrj- Christm.'',^ trees i Glow fair wi lh (lame and revelries I T h a t cluster round them year by year, j And ilr and pine, or far or near,
Live uprlglil , g ladly die, Knowing that they to (Jod are dear, An.l bring to man, i l luminate. A torch that leads to heaven's ga le . •
nvcn so the measure si..w of time, I.iko a rhythm close.l with rime,
! Raises the patient soul on Iiigh, j i 'rnigs Joy to lif.-. even from a s i gh , I And in conclusion s w e e t
Dark grief with gl.i.lnes*^ cnn ally. So .shines the forest wlu n v.-o in<?et With light and song. Christ's birth
greet.

Roast Duek. For the roast duck or duckling, as
the tase may be. there Is nothing nicer tban a good savory breatl stulling. though many people like an oyster or somo other fancy dressing. For the savon- bread stulling take the day before It Is nee<led a loaf of baker's bread and with a sharp knife cut off very thinly the crust of the entire loaf.
j Then break the bread Into pieces and put It Into a stiViarc of cheesecloth, tlo It up nnd hang It In the nir.
When ready to mako the stnlTlng. crumb tho bread fine and ndd to It tlie Juice of a large onion, pepper, salt, a quarter pound of butter cut Into small pieces, a teaspoonful of powdered sage, a dash of maco. n Ilttle swoct bn.sil, a Httle swoct marjoram, a gill of croam nnd one beaten e g g . ' M i x thc dressing thoroughly; If It seems a Uttlo dry ndd notbing moro, as the butter nnd mont Juices will .moisten it sufllclcnt1.v.

- A Sunny Morning Face. . A prlnclplcwf psychology wblcU every mother "should know Is that the last thought before going to sl(»cp makes the deepest Impression. The last thought Is sure to bc the fltrst waking thought. A child should never be punished Just licforo going to bed If J'OU wLsh to create In him a joyous disposition. A Iinppy 1>cdtlmc will mean a sunny morning face.
N'o one can Ue at Ills l>osf mornlly and spiritually unless ho Is at his best physleall.v. No child can bc Improved morally by, IwIng injured physically. To send a child nway from tbe table hungry or to sond him suppcrlcss to bed Is n.itillc of barbarism. A bappy bedtime nnd a bappy mealtime nre tUe right of every chlltl.
