You want comfort to the point of luxury in riding qualities. You demand a car that in outward appearance is one you and your family can be proud to be seen in. - • You insist on artistic lines in a body that is in accord with the prevailing fashions. Upholstery that feels as easy as it looks --that is as durable as the best. And withal a finish in details and in the ensemble that looks the part your car is to play in your daily life. Speed, you desire, equal to any occasion and power equal to any emergency. All these you may obtain in a motor car and at a price well within your reach—if you but select right. There's the rub -?–how to decide, between those who claim everything, which car will fulfill the claims. For makers are not over -modest. There's no patent on adjectives nor restriction on the use of words. Every maker claims everything. 'How is one to decide? After all, it isn't so difficult. Just observe one rule—accept no claimthat hasn't been proven. You can see and test for yourself most of the qualities you desire in a motor car. You can compare body lines. You can feel the upholstering. You can determine the quality of finish. By riding in it you can verify or disprove all claims as to spring suspension, balance and riding qualities. If you know how to drive any car you can drive it yourself and thereby test the handling and control—steering gear, shift, clutch, brakes, etc.—and _responsive- ness of motor. All these are an open book to the man who will read and can interpret. So after all; you need only accept the word of the salesman for—well, for the most important facts. These are, the reliability of the car and its gasoline consumption. And there's where the claims come in—for makers being human, and business being competitive, there is a tendency to claim reliability unlimited—and fuel economy to the vanishing point. Since this is so, what is the formula for accurate selection of a motor car? Proofs—that is the only certain way. "Claims are all right, but only proofs count"—that is the Maxwell slogan. Believing that every claim should be susceptible of incontrovertible proof— and believing it to be good business to claim only what we can prove— We have proven in official test, and before the whole world, those two most elusive but most important qualities—reliability and gasoline economy. In 44 days and nights running, during which the motor never stopped—the car every minute under the supervision of A. A. A. Officials—the Maxwell proved its wonderful reliability. That still stands the world's record for reliability—the Official Record. In that same non-stop test, a standard, stock -model Maxwell covered 22,022 miles at an average speed of 25 miles per hour. That also is the Official World's long distance record. Again: The Maxwell Motor Company offered $50,000 in Liberty Bonds to Maxwell owners all over the American Continent—Canada, the U. S. and Mexico —for an economy contest. More than 3000 Maxwell owners entered—and the average of all those Maxwells was 29.4 miles per gallon of gasoline. (That was for a U. S. standard gallon. Add 20 per cent mileage and you have 35.3 for a ®anadian "Imperial Gallon.") That also stars a world's record for gasoline economy. And remember, it wasn't the performance of one especially adjusted car, but an average made by more than 3000 Maxwells -1915, 16 and 17 models. Nor were they driven by factory employees or dealers—the rules specified that only actual owners or members of their families could compete. So there's one car, in the selection of which you can be sure—absolutely sure. For what you cannot yourself see and examine and test, has beenproven beyond question. You are invited to see and to ride in and to drive yourself, a Maxwell. And, having done that—having seen and tested all that can be confirmed in a short time --the official figures of those long-time, long-distance, reliability and economy tests are also available to you. Then, if you are willing to accept mere verbal assertions in the selection of your car—that is your privilege, of course. But if you want a cal' that in officialtest has proven every claim made for it— that car must be a Maxwell. son has been here for the past two weeks. Mr. Thos.

Pali Wheat Seed In view of the partial failure of the fall wheat crop in this province this year it will bo necessary for farmers to make early arrangements for the supply of seed which • they will need for fall sowing. Under those ciroumstanees farmers who have on eland quantities of wheat suitable for fall seeding are urged to conserve then] for this purpose. if there is no demand locally, the information should he supplied to this Department or to the local of- fice of this Department in your coun- ty so that every effort may be matte to have an egtitabte and satisfac- tory distribution. The need for food- stuffs . justifies a large acreage of fall wheat in this province again this year, and the co-operation of the fanners in the mobilization and distribution of the available seed supplies is invited. , Ontario Dept. of Agriculture, S. 13.
