With the advent of*good 'weather the farmers have gone ahead with their bplowing and only a few corn fields remain that work has not been done on them. ~ln order to make an absolute cleanup it becomes necessary to establish a dead line when this work must he started or it will be necessary to place Government machinery -where theindividual has not started work on his fields. Government machinery will be placed on such fields and cleaned up just as soon as equipment is available. It is not the intention to stop a man from doing his own work after this date but rather he will be encouraged to go ahead and finish it up.

To Look Elsewhere, : ‘That the body of Franklin Tucker .57 Warsaw cigar store clerk may be found in a stream near Goshen loomed Tuesday when search of Center lake where Martin Ross in a confession says that the body was thrown after Le was murdered on the night of January 28, has failed to show any results. View is now expressed by many persons that the victim may“have -been conveyed in ‘the automobile used by his slayers to the Elkhart river fdur miles south of Goshen or to the Hawks mill dam. | There appears to be no doubt that the murdereds took this route in returning to Elkhart following the murder in Warsaw. Eventually a diver may be bought there to conduct a further search--of Center lake but the general opinion is that Tucker . was not thrown in that body of water. |

This is better than mile-a-minute speed for 81 consecutive hours and 49 minutes—the fastest speed for the farthest distance ever attained by any stock car! The Commander Out-Climbs All Other Cars In another public contest, five automobile dealers in Batavia, N. Y., challenged Studebaker’s repeated statement that The Commander will out-perform any

car selling within a thousand dollars of its price. The scene of the contest was a long hill near Batavia with an average grade of 10%. : : The Commander won everytest made - creeping test, standing start and flying start.

the contest, 102 drivers of different cars tried to equal TheCommander’s time-record—but every one failed! What These Records Mean to You You probably will never need mile-a-minute speed for 5000 miles— you’may never want to enter a hillclimbing contest. But these remarkable records are further proof of what we have demonstrated time and again on Studebaker’s 800-acre Proving Ground—that The Commander in every phase of every-day driving will out-perform and out-live any other car, six or eight, selling for less than $2500. e

Harry Hartz wired us, after setting 10 new world records in 7 The Commander: “Based onmy experience drivingmy personal Studebaker Commmdcr?um making the recent record run at Culver City Speedway with a Studebaker Commander strictly stock model, it is my opinion that it will maintain any given speed, up to 65 miles per hour, longer, more smoothly, and at less exsaueper hour traulei for gasoline, oil and repairs, than any other stock automobile now being built in the United States.”
