WILLYS-OVERLAND

HES Willys Knight Cars Cut to Lowest Price In History. A. drastic cut in prices of Willys-Knight and Overland automobiles effective September 18th, was .announced by John N. Willys, president of the Willys-Overland Company on Saturday. September 16 th. The reduction in the selling- price of the Willys-Knight brings that car's price to the lowest level at which any car equipped with Knight motor ever was sold. Under the new list prices the Willys-Knight 5 passenger touring car. which, during the spring of this year, sold at $1,525 and more recently at $1,375, is now to be had at $1,235. The Willys-Knight 5 passenger sedan is reduced In price $145 from Its former price of $2,095, making Its present cost, under the new list prices, $1,850. The Willys-Knight roadster, formerly $1,350, is cut to $1,235 and the Willys-Knight coupe from $1,875 to $1,795. The Overland car is reduced to $525 for the touring model and the roadster to the same amount from their former price of $550. The coupe is dropped from $850 to $795 and the Sedan from $895 to $875. OFFER NEW IMPROVEMENTS At these new prices, the WillysKnight and Overland cars offer a number of improvements and refinements which add materially to their value and which have been biff factors in the tremendous demand which has made the new prices possible. The Overland touring car and roadster models are equipped with all steel bodies, have a baked enamel finish and ride on the famous Triplex Springs. They are also equipped with new and heavier rear axles, thus adding to the weight in the rear system. John N. Willys, president of the Willys-Overland Company who returned direct to Toledo last week after a brief trip abroad expressed most optimistic views over business conditions abroad and at home and said prospects for the coming year never appeared brighter to him. "Every circumstance points to a rapidly increasing prosperity and to improved business condition," said Mr. Willys. "Conditions in -virtually all parts of Europe are not nearly so bad as they are painted and over here we are getting settled some of the fundamental problems which have held up business progress. OPTIMISTIC OF FUTURE Mr. Willys referred to settlement of the railroad and mine strikes as one of the greatest benefits the nation has had in many years. "The Willys-Overland .Company to date this year has completed the production of more cars than the entire year's schedule called for," Mr. Willys continued. "And we have just completed the largest July and August production in our plant history. "It is this unprecented production which has made possible the lowered production costs which are reflected in our new prices. "We are not worrying about getting coal and are not afraid that the cost of coal will compel us to slacken our production one iota. We are goInir ahead with all the energy we Rules of

gest Business in our nistory and which we know Is ahead of us," E SWAMPS By SPIKE Emerson High's chances for the state championship gridiron honors loomed brightly at their opening game of the season at Emerson field Saturday afternoon when they romped away with Morocco by n overwhelming score of 41-0. When Morocco invaded the city Saturday morning- they were full of pep and confidence. A week before they had trimmed Pine Village some sixty to nothing, and this meant something, as Pine Village generally puts forth a strong team. A large crowd of boosters accompanied the Moroccoans. "We're going to give you Garyites the lacing of your lives," they said and really meant it. Even Gary thought the visitors must have something to run up a score of sixty points against the Pine Villagers, and the Emerson warriors thought they had a battle on their hands until the game started. However, they soon learned what Morocco had and it didn't take long, for Emerson scored right off the bat. As per usual, Emerson fans went wild. Even old Sol, who threw down his wormth 75 degrees strong, did not bother the Emersonites. They simply played Football and forgot all about the hot weather, and by the time the first half was called had rolled up a score of 20-0. The score might have been a whole lot larger, but Coach Veenker threw the t-ntire second team in against the visitors in the third quarter, and even the youngster held the much-touted Moroccoans to a tie . The first team took the field in the closing quarter and piled up 21 more points, making it 41 in all. Another touch down would have been added just before the whistle ' had not a referee stepped in front of an Emerson ball runner and collided with him. He had a clear field with but ten yards to go, but the incident gave a Morocco tackier sufficient time to gey his man. Emerson displayed a human machine. There is nothing that a team of championship caliber should have that they did not show the coaches and fans, and if the writer is not amiss Emerson ought to go far into the battle for the state championship honors. While Emerson was trimming Morocco, the Frobelltes were having a much harder time of it at Froebel field. While they won from Chicago Heights 7-6. it was a battle all the way. It was only the new football ruling, changing- the kicking of goal that won them the game. Froebel won their point, while Chicayo Heights failed after taking the pigskin over the goal line. This year, instead of kicking goal after a touchdown has been scored, teams place the ball in action from the ten-yard line and have the right to carry it over the line, forward pass it over or place or drop kick it over the grcal posts.

DEMOCRATS IGNORE

THE CAMPAIGN (Continued on Page Five) servers that the democrats are hoping that ' the republicans will let them have the state election by de-fault. Up until the last two weeks, before the political chariot was dusted over Indiana, the democrats possiup by the G. O. P. and sent rumbling bly had some basis for their hope that the ballots would come their way without intensive organization work. In fact, it is now borne out that the attitude taken by the democratic state committee early in the year was based on some such idea. At that time, it will be remembered that the word was passed out by democratic leaders that they did not think that their party needed to have much oratorlal work done. If at any time there was a drift in favor of the democrats, as they evidently believed there was, it is certain the tide has turned. The republicans have prepared to throw into action some of the best ora torial talent of the nation. ExGovernor William L. Harding of Iowa, John Wesley Hill of New York and other republican speakers of distinction have already started to plough through the state. Soon Senator Shortridge of Callfornia. Senator Jones of Washington Senator Borah of Idaho and Senator Moses of New Hampshire will come to Indiana for tours. Karl Schuyler of Denver, a noted speaker of the West is to speak in Indiana. Theo. dore Koosevelt is to make several speeches in the state and Senator James E. Watson is to appear in every district in Indiana. In addition to these, and other speakers of national reputation there is a host of Indiana men and women either on the stump or pre pared to go out on tour discussing the issues of the campaign. One of the most remarkable conferences of republican speakers ever held took place at state headquarters last week. There was nearly 200 men and women present at the conference. And this number did not em brace all the Hoosiers who are to speak in behalf of the republican cause during the campaign. Emmett F. Branch, lieutenant governor; Edgar D. Bush of Salem, exlieutenant jovernor, E. M. Wasmuth- of Huntington; ex-state chair man, Ed Toner of Anderson; Daisy Douglas Barr of Newcsastle. Judge Arthur R. Robinson of Indianapolis the thirteen Hoosier congressmen and all the state officials seeking re-election are all scheduled for tours through the state during the remainder of the campaign. Of course, much interest is being manifested in the speech to be made Tuesday at Evansville by Albert J. Beiveridge, nominee for United States senator. While it is not being heralded as a "keynote address'' it will nevertheless be the first real political talk that he has made since the primary campaign. Mr. Beveridge has been at work on the material to be used in the speech all summer. Because of the interest being shown In the Beveridge candidacy in all parts of the country the speech will attract attention outside of the state. Some of the larger papers of the country have sent in requests to the republican state headquarters for advance copies of the speech. When the campaign becomes a little warmer 'the politicians are looking forward to the manner in which thh den-erats will treat their "wet" candidates. The party

Instant Quaker Oats Cooks to perfection in 3 to 5 minutes

The Quaker Oats flavor has won millions the world over. This brand dominates wherever oat lovers live for we flake it from queen grains only. Now there's a quick-cooking Quaker, made from those same queen grains. It cooks in 3 to 5 minutes. It is the quickest-cooking oats in the world. The oats are cut before flaking. They are rolled very thin and partly cooked. So the flakes are smaller and thinner that is all. And those small thin flakes cook quickly. Say which you want. In either regular or Instant you get the finest flavor oat flakes ever had. In Instant you get the quickestcooking oat dish in existence. There are now those two great reasons for insisting on this brand. leaders are convinced that Indiana, as a whole. is a very dry state. Yet in Marion county, as well as In several other districts, the local tickets of the party are exceedingly moist. Up to this time Joseph Turk, democratic nominee for' representative in congress from the Seventh district-- Indianapolis has been completely under cover. Although he won a big victory In the primary heading a "wet' legislative ticket, he is not making' speeches, not appearing in state meetings of the democratic party and. In fact, seems to be lost sight of completely. Whether this is accidental or intentional has not been revealed. It is presumed toy some that the party leaders are trying to keep Turk in the dark so his wet candidacy will not bring down the wrath of "the dry element in the party. William Jennings Bryan is to speak in the state for the democrats. Some are wondering how Mr. Bryan can make a talk in Indianapolis or in other districts where the democratic nominees are wet and urge the election of that ticket. If he sidesteps the question and urges only the election of the state ticket it Is expected that here will be some resentment among the followers of the moist gentlemen. In the event that Marion county goes democratic it will mean that twelve members of the Assembly will be out and out wets. It is regarded as likely that should this wet bloc gain seats in the Assembly that they would be able to munster enough support to make a rainy successful stand in modifying the bone dry law of Indiana. As It Is the Indiana dry law is more strict than the Volstead act. which per mits the sale of whiskey on pre scription. The Indiana law does not allow the sale of this article under any circumstances. KLANSMEN ENTRANCE IS DRAHATIC (Continued from page one.) his left breast. He made a sort of sign of greeting and returned the way he had come. As he reached the door his twelve companions wheeled and filed out as they had entered. Through it all the crowd of nearly a thousand citizens sat unmoved. There was no sound save the song of the children in the choir loft which continued as though nothing unusual wire happening. An excited buzz whispered conversation broke out. What was in the envelope? Dr. Robinson could be seen counting a roll of paper money. He arose. A breathless silence followed. "I have here a donation of money and a letter which I am requested to read," he said. Then he read: Chairman, Financial Commit.tee. Calumet Board of Rellgous Instruction: "Dear Sir Please accept this donation and use it for the continuance and further of religious Instruction among the PUBLIC school pupils of the Calumet region. "We are in sympathy and stand UNITED on all matters of this nature. "Respectfully yours, "KNIGHTS OF THE KU KLUX KLAN, CALUMET REGION." The reader paused. "The donation is $200 and raises our total fer this evening to a little more than $1800.". Then the crowd broke loose. Cheers, whistles, hand-clapping and feet stamping followed. It was the nolsest demonstration heard in the church in a long time. The audience thin sang ""America." Rev. Wells pronounced and the meeting broke up. But there was too snack to talk about. The crowd lingered long inside the church and on the sidewalk in front. All were delighted with tie manner in which the people had responded with donations but the mysterious visit from the Klan was naturally the principal topic If discussion. Solicitors will continue to work for more funds for ths religious instruction program this week. The $1,800 raised last night is a good start but at least $7,000 is needed to put the work over as planned. THERE WILL BE a truck of fresh MICHIGAN FRUIT at the State Street Dray Stand tomorrow morning.
