$745 F. O. B. DETROIT There are vision* now M^l than in busi iimi and industry. Th/ Muwtil motor car is a wonderful vision that hu been mad* real. The fixed purpose of the Maxwell builders was in the beginning, and is npw, to produce a car which would be, in the highest sense, effi cient, durable, economical, comfortable and standard in equipment. Many years experience In production on a vast scale has taught the Maxwell manufac turers two things. On* Is that such a car aa they have always made their aim ? a car in which efficiency, durability, economy, comfort, beauty and stand ard equipment are all present? cannot be built for less than $745 with materials at their present prices. The other losson is that, for more than $745, they could not give you anything more th an the Maxwell now has except greater size or luxuries, pure nnd simple. In other words thoy are convinced ? and they Imvo convinced us that they have found the great MIDDLE LINE where you get dollar for dollar in ABSOLUTE VALUE. MOTOR SALES COMPANY W. R.

Instead of putting the potatoes away lu "hacks" or pitH or in dry cellars, as do many potato urowers, Mr. Boyd when he digs IiIh crop siui|>ly lias his children and oth er help to wrap each individual tub er lu a piece of nowwpajier. torn to convenient size, and then packs the potatoes away in barrels or boxes, or piles fliem on floors whenever It may be convenient to do ao. The potatoes so packed away keep lu perfect con dition for months, and the si>eciincn he showed in York was still In good condition and fit for food. At first thought this method might seem to be a rather tedious one, but it Is hardly any more troble tihan Is the process of putting the jKitatoes In "hacks" and running the riHk of losing the whole crop. Mr, Boyd's method has Im'?'h tried by him thoroughly and it works to perfection. Another wrinkle in regard to sweet pot a toes that Mr. Boyd works in get ting sweet potatoes for next year's crop is this: Along in the middle of the summer he flips cuttings from his vines and sticks these in the, ground and these clippings will at once start growing and will produce tubers of sufUcicnt size to use for bedding to furnish "slips" f.tr next year's potato crop. Mr. Boyd contributes these two ideas as a contribution In food conserva tion. ? Itock Hill Record. Circus Failed To Show. Hamlet, Ot-t. 2K. ?
