You may buy a Saxon believing it to be tho
best car in its class and you will get what
you pay for.
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.

MACADAM ROADS ARE URGED
Highway Commissioner of Michigan
Favors Water-Bound Type Cost

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

treatment, which is made after thu

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
