Catawissa, Pa., April 27 ? "Clover," the world's olcle^t horse, is dead. He was 53 years old. Rev. \lriah Byers, the owner, said the animal had been ill two weeks.

Harding then sent a check for $100 to give "Clover" the com* forts of ' old age and other checks poured in from many parts of the country. "Clover's" welfare fund was swelled to thousands of dollars.

Hupmobile Camshaft Drop forged steel, case hard ened, double Heat treated. Cams integral. Extremely large bearing aurfar.es; three large removable bronze bushings. Lea* expensive construction involveo operation of the cam shaft in the crankcase casting, eliminating bushings. Also a smaller camshaft is l?ss ex pensive. A new oversize camshaft is usually required after short service. Parts You Never See They Are The Heart And Soul Of Hupmobile Goodness Behind the Hupmobile parts display on view in our sales room lies the story of Hup mobile owner satisfaction. These parts ? which look no different from parts of lesser quality but actually are vastly different ? are the heart and soul of all the good you hear about the Hupmobile. In them is bound up the long life of the car ? all its virtues of low costs and few- replace ments, of superior performance and high running economy. The Hupp factory could use materials of lesser quality, it could manufacture them 'into parts at lower cost, if it chose. But if that were to be done, the Hupmobile would sink to the dead level of motor cars* instead of being the superior automobile it Hi widely acknowledged to be. CEO. T. LITTLE, D..W, C*mde?, S. C.
