Rough Roads for Wheels Are
Smooth Roads for Passengers
WATCH Overland 4 on
rough cobbles or un
paved roads. The wheels fol
low surface inequalities, but
the new Triplex Springs give
car and passengers remarkable
riding steadiness.
They give 130-inch Spring
base to a car of 100-inch
whcelbase.
This makes for the gently
buoyant road action of a large,
heavy car with the economy
in upkeep, fuel and tires, and
convenience of handling of a
scientifically designed light car.
Auto-Lite startingandlight
ing, door-opening curtains
and dash light give but a hint
of the completeness and qual
ity which characterize every
thing about Overland 4.

THORNHILL
WAGONS
YOU make no mistake when you buy the
Thornhill.?Made of tough highland oak
and hickory. It has twice the strength
of wood that grows under softer conditions.
"The Thornhill is not the lowest priced, but
the best and in the end the cheapest" Let
us show you the wagon that is almost wear
proof

Sandhill Crane
(Hy O. A. David in (Jreen\*itJe New*.)
Even in his stocking-feet, standing al
most ns high hk the average man, this
??ir<l is an outstanding feat.ure of the
landscape, Whether on the ground, fit in
the air. And since his large relative,
the whooping crane,. is practically ex
tinet in many of its old haunts, the
Sandhill can justly claim to be the tall
est of all North American birds, no mean
distinction, b* the way. when one re
calls the many long-legged, long necked
birds we have. Although nature was
more than liberal when she d?*a 11 out
his legs and neck, and evidently expect
ed him t<> spend most of his time wading
and finding his food in the mud at the
bottom, for some reason or- other he
has degenerated into a land bird to a
great extent, ami seeins to lind the food
he likes best on meadows, fields and
open tprairie*. And even here his stilt
like legs and long, flexible neck come in
very handy, as the two serve to 'lift his
head high above tihe ground, enabling
hkn to see a groat distance, and to de
tect the approach of danger a long way
off?something he coujd not <Jh? .if he hap
pened to be ducklegged and short-necked.
The most striking characteristic of the
Sandhill if his eternal vigilance. No
matter how much he may be interested
in wliat he is doing, he never for a single
intrtancc forgets that his safety depends
on being always on guard and keeping
a sharp lookout for danger. It can hardly
bo culled a constant fear, but r*ther an
intol igent cautiou that dominate* hi* life,
to the exclusion of everything ?)??. When
pursuing hi* usual avocation of spearing
frofa, linards or beetles q| an OptQ) wide
prairies, with nothing in sight
thit Could jtoaidbly shelter a lurking
emnriy. he never relaxe# thai watchful
n><-VK that has probably aaved his life
u?orc times than he has feathers in hit*
wings After each downward motion of
the head us he searches the graus< hW
lo?g neck straightens, and his keen eye*
sweep the horixon, before ho dares to
lower hia head again. This habit makes
it well nigh impossible fur any enouiy
to approach near enough to harm him.
He was born careful and alert? but hi*
wariness keeps pace with th* passing
years, and by the time ho has grown old
he has become auspicious of pretty much
ev r\ filing and so painstakingly prudent,
that tiny life insurance agent would con
*bbu< him a "good rivk;\ If he glimpse*
anvthioK the least bit uuiuyntl. he stands
<V>r a moment uuotionless, his muacular
thitrha bend, his wings spread to their
six foot limit, and 'he springs heavily
In the air, with loud croaking to warn
any <^f his kind that may he iu hearing.
As hig and ?clumsy as ho is, ouec a'wing,
ho mounts by easy spirals until ho ia
just a ?piM?k iu the sky, and from that
dlwsy height (Hugs hack taunt after tuuut
at the discomforted sportsman. Neither
is he going to aliglit again uuiil he ia
absolutely sure the const la clear. When
he. does select a likely looking apot, luV
(lies ovor it many tilViea, iu alow, swing
ing circles, intently reconnoltering every
place that <-ouId 'by any possible means
harbor an enemy Hut not antlaflod
with that, he sends out his remulous
qUery "to wentincis posted hero and there,
and waits for their hoarse "all's well,"
btsfore he drifts down, and once more
turns his attention t<o the small folks
that live in the grass. Most long-bill
bird* take their prey by catching them
between the tips of the beak, bill the
Sandhill literally spears them throug'h
ami throug'h. -with the bill shut tight, and
shakes them off afterwards. When a
frog, mouse or lizard see# this terrible
weapon poised above, they seem to know
their doom is sealed, and there is tlo
use'trying to make a got-a-wa.v. l|e
sides animal food, the Sandhill is con
siderable of a vegetable feeder, grass and
cereals -taking the lead.
The Sandhill takes himself very st*?
r'ously. and manages to throw an amus
injc lot of dignity and im press! veness In
his measured strides. It in only in
I the spring when the -mating instinct gets
? the upper hhii<1 . and whoa his "fancy"
; lightly turns to thoughts of lovo," that
| ho gets down oft' liiw high horse and in
? dulges in a set of antics that ore ridlcu
! lous in the extreme. At this time the
I -
| beaux and belles gather in some oi>cn
' spot and #ro through with a laughable
' kind of a dance, in which each third seems
1 to out-do its fellow in the flapping of
wings, in awkward hopping and ship
, ping. This curiohs dance is kept up
1 until complete exhaustion calls a halt,
lint _ when th? strange performance is
over, and t'he birds have selected th"lr
partner* for the season they drop hack
into their dignified way*, and a whole
year passes before they have another
dance. The nest is generally placed on
a slight knoll, commanding an unob
structed view of the surrounding routi
try, Instead of being hidden away under
some covfr, as is the habit of most
ground-living big^<. The nest itself may
be only a depression, lined with grasses
uud weed stems. The eggs arc _tWO in
number, of a * bufffy-brown color, with
chocolate splotches. The young ore cov
ered with down when hatched, and jn
