We feel that we owe an explanation
to the thousands of Paige enthusiasts
and prospective Paige owners whose
choice is The Most Beautiful Car
in America, but who have been urv
able to secure prompt deliveries.
The Paige-Detroit Motor Car Company
has not failed to keep up with its
production schedule. As a matter
of fact we have already far exceeded
the schedule we planned for our'
calves last December. i
The explanation' is plain and unescap
able. This unprecedented demand for
The Most Beautiful Car in America
is inspired by Paige mechanical ex'
cellence.
The greatest motoring value is the sum
and substance of this explanation.
With its mechanical excellence, its
beauty, its durability, the Paige is
easily sold and most important of
all it stays sold.
This shortage in Paige cars is not merely
a local condition. It is national. If
. you question this statement go to
your nearest Paige dealer and he
will confirm it.
But there are other reasons for Paige
popularity. -They go back of mc
chanical excellence, beauty and ex'
cess values. They are fundamental
because they make such things pos'
sible. We refer to the sound eco
nomic and financial policies that are
the foundation of the Paige structure.
In percentage of sales increase, The
Most Beautiful Car in America has
outstripped all competitors between
$iooo and $2000 in price for the
last six months.

July 7th, 1917. NOTICE is hereby
given that Lloyd R. Springer, of Lex
ington, Oregon, who, on October 2nd,
1913, made Homestead Entry, No.
012085, for Lots 1, 2. 3, 4, NE4
NW4, ESW, Section 18, Town

ette Meridian, has filed notice of In
tention to make Final three-year
Proof, to establish claim to the land
above described, before C. C. Patter
son, U. S. Commissioner, at Heppner,
Since January ist we have been work
ing our huge manufacturing equip
ment to full capacity. But in spite
of these efforts we have never been
for one day caught up with the dc
mand for The Most Beautiful Car
in America.
It is a significant fact that in the month
of July just closed a period unset'
tied by war conditions the Paige
Detroit Motor Car Company was
able to : i only 5 8 per cent of the actual
orders placed during that month.
Paige sales in proportion to Paige cap
italization are many times greater
than those of any car in the same
competitive field.
The Paige has built conservatively,
soundly. It has no bonded indebt'
edness. It has been content with a
a" modest profit per car.
The Paige has had the money to create
quality in each and every car it has
, built. The etcess value that has
been put into The Most Beautiful
Car in America has won the confi'
, dence and preference of the Ameri'
.. can public.
This greater value has brought to the
Paige a supremacy that has stood mv
challenged during the last few months
of unsettled economic conditions.
Such overwhelming popularity has
made it necessary for us to apologize
to you for any delay you may suffer
or may have suffered in the delivery
. of your car.
But is it not Worth while waiting for
a motor car that is at once the most
popular, as well as The Most Beau'
tiful Gar in America?

HAY SITUATION IS
NOT ALARMING
Plenty of Hay for Normal Conditions
in .Spite of IncrTONed Num.
ber of Stork.
"There will be no hay" has been the
the talk for so long and been so gen
erally Indulged in the belief that the
cattle buyers have taken advantage
of the situation and been making
some pretty good buys. They are
not slow to scare growers over the
situation.
The situation is rather a singular
one. In the first place the price of
stock is so high that cheap hay is
out of the question. It makes little
difference to a sheepman what he has
to pay for hay. He can well afford
to pay $25 for hay as long as he feeds
it to 75 cent wool and an $18 or $20
ewes. And so the sheepman will pay
most any pricce that is asked for hay.
He can afford it. And so when this
class of stockmen offered $15 or more
for hay the grower immediately bases
the market on it.
There Is no surplus hay and the
hay on the dry land ranches Is a fail
ure. But that does not signify much
for the dry land farms produce very
little hay. The hay along the river
bottom and on the Irrigated lands is
an the whole better this year than it
has been for several years. There are
a number of ranches along the John
Day that will cut more hay this year
than they have cut for a long time.
The crop has come out wonderfully
the last three weeks ai;d it is a com
mon expression now to hear many of
the ranchers say, "that they are sur
prised," and that "they will cut more
hay than they have cut for a number
of years."
It is again true that there is more
stock in the country this year. The
reserve is crowded to the limit and
an Increase of about 7000 head have '
been added. But thfs should not in
timidate anyone for there will be
plenty of hay in Grant county this
year for ordinary winters. If a hard
winter like last year was to follow it
might be disasterous. With the usual
winter that is experienced here there
will be plenty of feed. Prices have
been run up to $15 but the conditions
do not warrant it, except that, of
course, the sheeman can afford to
pay and he can even afford to pay
more. Hay at ten dollars, fed to 12 1
cent wool and $4 sheep is really
higher than $20 hay fed to 75 cent
wool and $20 sheep.
A successful stockman, however,
will always provide hay sufficient for
Weather conditions. This does not
mean for him to make sacrifiice of his
stock, but he ought to be protected
against a hard winter for it might
come. The situation in the county
is far from alarming and no stockman ,
should get scared and sacrifice his
stock. Much of this hay shortage
talk has come from the stock buyers
who have been trying to take advant
age of the situation.
There will be thousands of beef
cattle ready for market this fall and
they should be sold just as they ordi
narily are and stockmen should re
ceive the full market price for them.

lone Real Estate Moves.
Not only was real estate moving"
last Saturday in the high wind, but it
seemed! to be a busy day in the city
property market of lone.
Ralph Akers sold his residence on
Second Street to his brother, Garret,
who will move his family from the
ranch soon and take up nis residence
in the city. His son, Lowell, will
take charge of the ranch, while "fath
er" takes a well earned rest.
Right in line with the above deal,
Ralph Akers in turn purchased the
residence property of Jacob Bortzer
on Main Street, which he will occupy
as soon as the present occupants va
cate. The population of lone seems to
be Increasing out of proportion to
available places of residence, and un
less some philanthropist will take it
upon himself to put up some houses
for rent it will be a serious problem
for some people to find a place to
live. The sales this week are going
to make it necessary for at least two
families to look for new homes, and
with the present scarcity of houses
it will be a problem, and with the
opening of school there promises to
be a still greater demand for houses.

(lean Vp Wool Shipments.
Shipment of a carload of wool
from Heppner Wednesday cleans up
all of the spring wool purchased this
year by Thomas Ross. Most of the
growers in this neighborhood have
sold their clips.
About two million pounds ot wool
is still unsold in the 'interior north
west country, according to Mr. Rosa.
Warehouses at Portland and other
large shipping centers are holding
close to ten million pounds. This is
principally wool from Oregon, Wash

wool market is very quiet, there be
ing no buyers who will make a bid.
