You may look for longer service, better per formance and lower up-keep bills from your Saxon than from any other car of like price. And you will not be disappointed. If there was any doubt that Saxon cars are the best in their respective divisions it has long since disappeared. And the proof of this you will find, a thousand fold over, in the records of Saxon owners and in the opinion of motor-car buyers in general. Saxon cars have definitely estab lished their superiority in every phase of motor car performance. And just as surely and decisively as they have proved themselves abler acting cars, have they proved themselves cheaper cars to keep up. To build cars of, such quality and such value clearly reflects the strength and soundness and ability of the Saxon organization.

Frank F. Rogers, state high way commissioner of Michigan, Is tho lutcst prominent road builder to glvo his testimony In favor of water-bound macndani, which a few years ngo seemed likely to lose nil standing ns Fine Type of Macadam Road. a typo of construction ndnptcd for modern conditions. In his blennlnl re port ho lins this to say: "During tho early cxlstonco of tho department, maendnm roads constituted as much as U0 per cent of tho mileage constructed As the use of the automobile became more widespread, the percentage of macadam roads built each year de creased owing to tho excessive cost of maintaining this type under the auto mobile trnlllc. Within the past two yenrs, however, water-bound mnendam roads have been agnln growing In favor because It has been found pos sible with a bituminous surface treat ment to maintain them In a condition comparable In tho point of service to tho higher, types of roads. The first treatment, which is made after thu road has "seasoned" by opening It to traffic for throe or four months, Is es sentially a part of tho Initial cost of construction, und enn be applied at a cost of about Ave cents per sipiare yard, or not to exceed $500 per mile for a 10-foot rontl. Thereafter the road can be maintained In a satisfactory condition with n yearly treatment at n cost of about three cents per squnre yard." PRAISE FOR IMPROVED ROAD Stimulate Friendly Rivalry Amonu Farmers to Keep Highways In Best Possible Condition. A well-dragged road In front of the farm Is u great satisfaction to the owner, but why not give him the addi tional satisfaction of letting him know that you appreciate what lie lias done as you drive by? Why not tell him what you think and help establish a prlzo for tho best-dragged piece of road? Thoix) nre few ways in which a little money will bring" bigger re sults In road work than in stimulating friendly rivalry among tho workers. A careful use of the drag may save the use of the road grader. CANADA'S Increased by About Sixty Per Cent in Past Six Months. That Canada Is at war Is now moro fully appreciated on this side of the boundary line, now that the United States has stepped alongside Its north ern neighbor and linked hands In tho great strugglo for n freer democracy throughout tho civilized world. As n result of this n greater Interest than' ever Is seen In the mutual effort to develop both tho United States and Canada, ltecently, Just before tho time that the United States declared Its Intention to enter the contest and contribute of Its resources to the de feat of tho autocracy, whose design was to permeate tho world. Western Canada made an appeal for farm labor to till the fields and prepare the soil for tho crops of grain that were nec essary to feed the fighting forces and keep up the requirements necessary for tho Allies. The responses were so great that before half the tlmo limit expired, over six thousand laborers were secured. This was not suulent, but once the United States wuh de clared to be In a condition of war, and farm labor required here to meet any exigency as to short rations that might arise, the sister to the north, withdrew from attempts, which l might mean n restriction of the farm labor supply In the United States. Hut even with this It Is thought Canada will now bo fairly well supplied. Apart, however, from tho farm labor proposition, It Is gratifying from both a United States anil Canadian point "f view that the Immigration of farmers to take up homestead lauds and to pur chase Improved and unimproved land In Canada, has shown such a wonder ful Incrense In tho past three months, The great strugglo for Increasing the food supply has a broader and greater significance than over. The food must come Into existence, whether the rlrh soils of the United States or those of Canada be the factor. It Is altogether probable that the ac tion of the Canndlau Oovernment In taking the duty off wheat going Into Canada, thus automatically lifting the duty off that coining Into tho United Stntes, ma not bo responsible for an Increased Immigration to Canada. Can ada's reputation for growing larger av erage yields nnd n better quality of grain, nnd on lands, many of which nre free, as well as those that range from $15 to .?:i.r an acre, Is au appeal that Is being responded to by fanners who are now renting high-priced lands, Is another reason for expecting an In creasing number of farmers from tho United States. Mr. W. IX Scott, Superintendent of Immigration at Ottawa, Canadn, re cently gave out figures concerning Im migration from the United States, which shows that the lncrenso In the past three or four months was (10 per cent over the same period lawt year, and Mr. Scott forecasts that during the culendnr year of 1017 there will bo over one hundred per cent Increase and be much heavier than for many yenrs past. Mr. Scott declares thft already this spring more settlers' ef fects have entered Canada than crossed during thu wholo of last year, and the movement has Just merely started. The now settlers are coming from numerous states through the ports of ISmcrson, North Portal and Coutts, as well as from Oregon and Washington, through Klngsgato and Vancouver. There urrlved In Saskatchewan dur ing tho year ending December 31, 11)10, n total of 8.1JMI persons as compared with 5,8112 during the twelve inonihs previous. At the same time nearly twice as many Immigrants passed through the ImmlKratton department MAKE ROADS WITH CONVICTS If Criminals Were Put to Work on Highways Country Would Soon Have Fine Systerri.
