CHICAGO CUMIN AVD PROVISIONS.
Corn Prices Itrengthened as Result of Plant
Ing and Oecreased Receipts.
Chicago, April 14. Planting delays and
a falling off lu arrlvala made the corn
market today show considerable strength at
times. The close was nervous, at the same
ss yesterday's finish to He higher, with
May 11.17 and July $1.49 to 11.40.
Oats lost a shade to le net. In provisions
-the outcome was unchanged to 46o lower.
Government advices that planting In tho
chief sections of the corn belt hsd been
ssrlously Interferred with by recent low
temperatures rallied the corn market after
as early advance had been more than offset
by sympathy with weakness which de
veloped In the oats trade. The Initial gains
by corn were ascribed to an evident de
crease In the movement from rural sour
ces, and to a, scarcity of offerings. On the
late upturn, the principal demand came
from shorts. Mors favorable weather pre
sent and prospective counted to some ex
tent against any Important lasting ad
vance. Refusal ef exporters to follow upturns In
the price of osta Inspired much sailing of
that grain. Besides, messages from the
east regarding the domestic distributing
trade were very pesslmlstlo as to the out
look for new buying In the next fortnight,
' provisions gave way with hogs and as a
result of Increased packing In the weat.

Committee Finds Cost of Pro
duction Increases Out of
Proportion to Increase in
Prices Paid.
The committee appointed to find
the cost of producing sugar beets in
Nebraska has made its report, which
shows that the cost of producing has
increased rapidly, but the price paid
for sugar beets has increased less
than the price paid for hay and ce
reals. This committee, composed of
E. O. Burnett, chairman; A. E. Cady,
W. I. Farley, II. E. Filley, secretary,
and Andrew Qeiss, recommends that
growers be paid $10 a ton at the
dump for beets, except in those areas
located at some distance from the
factory where the cost of production
was slffcwn to be lower than the aver
age cost, and there it is recommended
the price be $9.50.
It is recommended that the clause
in the contracts requiring that 25 per
cent of the beets harvested must be
siloed be stricken out, as it tended to
limit production.
The finding adds: The evidence
presented indicates that the cost to
the farmer of siloing beets, including
his loss by shrinkage, is seldom less
than $1.50 per ton and sometimes ex
ceeds thatamount. We, therefore,
recommend that unless the sugar com
panies are equipped to receive beets
as rapidly as offered they pay to the
farmers $1.50 per ton extra for siloed
beets.
Audubon's Birthday Will
Be Observed in Schools
Friday will be observed in the pub
lic schools as the anniversary of the
birth of John James Audubon, famous
naturalist, who was born at Aux
Cayes, Island of Haiti, April 27, 1785.
Audubon accomplished his greatest
work as a naturalist in America. In
1843 he directed a party up the Mis
souri river, the journey lasting five
months and yielding much valuable
information in the study of quadru
peds and birds. Records recently dis
covered at Nantes, France, show that
he reached Bcllevue, Neb., on May 8,
1843, and on the following day was
at Fort Croghan, now Council Bluffs.
At he latter place he observeo. for
the first time yellow-headed black
birds, Harris sparrows, western
meadow larks and Bell's vireos.
Dr. S. R. Towne of the Omaha
Audubon society has requested the
school officials to impress the chil
dren with the value of bird life. The
lessons on Friday will have studies
of Nebraska birds, with pictures for
the kindergarten tots.

But Only Proofs Count
Any maker may claim for his product all the qualities there are. That is
his privilege. He may even think his claims are justified.
Yoii read the advertisements, so you know that makers, as a rule, are not
over modest in that regard.
If you believe them all, they all make super-cars. ,
In your experience, that theory doesn't hold.
Maxwell is different.
We never claim anything we cannot prove.
As a matter of fact we never have claimed anything for this Maxwell that
has not already been proved in public test and under official observation.
Maxwell claims are not therefore claims in the ordinary sense they are
statements of fact proven facts.
They are, in every case, matters of official record attested under oath.
For example: The famous 22,000-mile Non-Stop run was made with the
Maxwell every minute under observation of the A. A. A. officials.
That still remains a world's record the world's record of reliability.
That particular test proved about all that anyone could ask or desire of a
motor car.
Among other things it still stands the world's long distance speed record.
Just consider 44 days and nights without a stop, at an average speed of 25
miles per hour! '
And that, not by a $2,000 car, but by a stock model Maxwell listing at $825.
You will recall perhaps that a famous high powered, high priced six in a
transcontinental trip made 28 miles average over a period of five days and
eleven hours.
Now compare those two feats one of less than six days, the other of 44
days.
You know automobiles which was the greater test?
Is there any comparison on grounds either of speed or endurance?
Proves you don't need to pay more than $825 to obtain all the qualities you
can desire in a motor car if you select a Maxwell.
For that Maxwell Non-Stop run was made, not on a track but over rough
country roads and through city traffic average of all kinds of going.
And listen to this.
So certain were we of the condition of the Maxwell at the end of that great
feat, we announced that at the stroke of eleven on a certain morning, the
car would stop in front of the City Hall, Los Angeles, for the Mayor to
break the seal.
Five seconds after he had pulled the switch nlug and stopped the motor
after the 44 days and nights continuous running, she was started again and
off on a thousand mile jaunt to visit various Maxwell deaki-s.
How is that for precision certainty of action? That incident brought a
storm of applause from the assembled thousands.
Hill climbing? this Maxwell holds practically every record worth men
tioning especially in the West where the real hills are.
The Mount Wilson record nine and one-half miles, 6,000 feet elevation !
was taken by a stock Maxwell.
Two months ago a 12-cylinder car beat that record by two minutes.
Then three days later a stock Maxwell went out and beat that 12-cylinder
record by thirty seconds. Pretty close going for such a distance and
such a climb wasnt it?
So Maxwell still holds the Mount Wilson honors.
Ready to defend it against all comers too, at any time a stock Maxwell
against any stock or special chassis.
Economy also a matter of official record.
Others may claim Maxwell proves.
Thousands of Maxwell owners throughout the United States on the same
day averaged 29.4 miles per gallon of gasoline.
Not dealers or factory experts, mind you, but owners thousands of them
driving their own Maxwrells.
Nor were they new Maxwells the contest was made by 1915, 16 and 17
models, many of which had seen tens of thousands miles of service three
years' use.
Nor could they choose their own road or weather conditions all kinds
were encountered in the various sections of the country.
Good roads and bad level country and mountainous regions heat and
cold sunshine and rain asphalt and mud.
And the average was 29.4 miles per gallon !
There's economy for you. And under actual average driving conditions
not laboratory test.
But that isn't all.
The greatest achievement of this Maxwell was in its showing of speed and
reliability and economy all in the same run. -
In that 44 days-and-nights Non-Stop run, though no thought was given
to either speed or economy, it still remains-a fact of official record that
the Maxwell averaged 22 miles per gallon and 25 miles per hour.
Now you know that speed costs and that economy tests are usually made
at slow-speed closed-throttle, thin-mixture conditions.
You know too that you can obtain economy of fuel by building and ad
justing for that one condition.
Speed you can get by building for speed. Any engineer can do that.
But to obtain that combination of speed and economy with the wonderful
reliability shown in that 44-days Non-Stop run that car must be a
Maxwell.
