YOU'D NEVER THINK a car as big and powerful as Olds would be a gas miser. Yet. that’s just what Oldsmobile is—a fuel saver if there ever was one. With Olds, you spend less time and money in gas stations and more on the open road. The big 90 H. P. Econo-Master Engine of the Olds Sixty gives you a wealth of live, eager power to master any kind of going. Yet. because it is precision-built and pressure-lubricated, because it embodies such advanced features as a high-efficiency cylinder head, completely cooled cylinders and pressurecooled valves, it gets the utmost out of every drop of gas and oil. That’s why an Olds Sixty was able to win first in its class in this year's Gilmore-Yosemite Economy Run with an average of 21.4 miles per gallon over a tough 315mile course. Come in and let us prove to you that Olds gives you quality plus economy!

•JI'DGE I. P. HI ).HKS FROM A PIONEER FAMILY (Continued from I’nice Onei that house Judge James P. Hughes lived from the time he was three months old until he reached the age of six years. The judge's first “schooling” was received in the Steel school house which formerly stood a short dis-; tance u st of road 43, on the old road to Cataract. This pioneer, John P. Sinclair, bom about 1800 became a widower, and remarried late in life, and a daughter by that marriage now lives In Clov- ! erdale, she of course, being a grand aunt of Judge Hughes. She is Mrs. Anna Lane, the widow of Thomas Lane. She is not far from 85 years old. Judge Hughes’ mother. Mrs. Hester Lwinn who resides in Greencastle at 627 east Seminary street is 86 years old. A sister of hers. Mrs. Sarah Dick>-rson, of Terre Haute, is 9.» years of age. She also was born in Cloverdale. Judge Hughes’ grandmother Mrs. Nancy Ferrell, w’as 97 years old when she died, in 1921. She used to talk to the judge about the wild turkeys which were so numerous in pioneer days that they were a real pest, devouring the grain crops Deer often came upon the Sinclair land, she remembered, and an occasional Indian would drift through the forests, come back from new home In the Southwest to see again his old haunts. The log cabin home of Judge and 1 Mrs Hu Khes is a delightful little place, and there is a tie of sentiment connecting it with the couple whom : it domiciles, because it was built ' from material taken from the old I aac Sinclair pioneer home, but the judge and his wife are looking forward with keen anticipation to the time when they will occupy their new. entirely modern home, not far "'iii their present log cabin. The new residence is’nearing completion. Judge Hughes has held public of- ‘ Ce thirt y-seven years without a
