A shipment of hose for the fire department, which will arrive any day, Is all that , Is necessary any more to make the ■ local water system and fire fighting 1 outfit complclte, according to the requirements of the state. The city water works system proper has been completed for some time and is working splendidly. The state fire Insurance Inspector Mr. Woodcock, of Indianapolis, was highly pleased with the excellent system that has been installed here. He greatly commended the town for its fine system and repeated the statement time and again that Herne has ’ the best and most up-to-date system of any town in this state of its size, and better than many cities much larger than Berne. This week the Water Works Commissioner, J. A. Schug painted all of 1 the 60 hydrants throughout the town with a fresh coat of red paint, which adds much to the appearance of the 'hydrants. This fall he intends to level up the ground about the big derrick reservoir and engine house and turn it into a pretty lawn. It is also proposed to erect a public drinking fountain in front of the town hall next spring where a threeinch pipe now stands. o Large Mint Crop Is Raised This Season (United Press Service) Milford, Ind., Oct. 2—One of the I most successful years in the history | of the largest mint raising district lin the world has ended in northern Indiana and Southern Michigan today.

COAL - COAL This coal, I sell, is a High Grade of Coal, mined in the Kentucky mountains. It is absolutely clean of slate, stone and foreign material; produces little ash; no clinkers nor whiskers. This grade of coal is now getting scarce and the supply in the mines limited, consequently, the price of good quality of coal is advancing. 1 still have a limited supply at Decatur and Monroe, which I am selling at the old price. The cheaper grades of coal, full of slate, stone and dirt, are much cheaper and are a drug on the market, consequently, the users of coal have a very short time in which to secure the class of coal that I have been selling, as the same is getting very scarce and is much higher in price now than when I placed my order for this high grade coal many months ago. 1 AM SELLING COAL, NOT DIRT.

ONE minute the DUPLEX is a comfortable, weather-tight closed car — deeply cushioned and richly appointed. In less than thirty seconds it becomes a delightful open car, with all the unhindered freedom every motorist likes and enjoys. Its double utility satisfied a most urgent need —it is as revolutionary as the self-starter and electric lights. And the price is the same as that of the open car — with advantages in finish, fittings, room and comfort no open car could ever give! j Framed and shaped in steel, the upper part of the Duplex Body is built integrally with the lower part —it functions perfectly with the lower part —it is permanently beautiful. But even without the “double-value” of the Duplex Body the new Standard Six would still be the same great Studebaker success. For its introduction marks the beginning of an era in the automobile industry when fine cars of real quality, plenty of room and comfort, impressive appearance, splendid power and performance may be had at a price the average buyer can afford to pay.

Surpassing mechanical suf : 'iority is obvious in every mile you drive it. Power, smoothness, silence you expect in any good six-cylinder car; but in this great car your expectations will be exceeded. You cannot anticipate such performance-perfection in any car ever vithin hundreds of dollars of the new Studebaker Standard Six price. The proof is easy to establish — drive it yourself, try it out on your favorite hill, test its speed on the straight-away. Sense what “ease of operation” really means in terms of effortless steering, velvety clutch action, easy gear shifting and instant brake application. Experience what real comfort means in plenty of room, soft deep cushions; genuine balloon tires; long, supple springs. The new Standard Six will tell you a story as it has never been told before by any other car at the Standard Six price. Whether you are in the market now or next year —you should see this new Studebaker. It is a car that will revolutionise values in the automobile industry!
