Two Hundred Million Dollars
Represents the amount which the public has paid for
previous Maxwells.
The Greater Maxwell is now here
It is not a New Maxwell. It is in fundamentals the worthy descendant of 300,000
Maxwells that grace the highways of the world.
But it is a greater car in many ways.
There are the Hot Spot and Ram's-horn, for instance.
Then there is a much improved electris system, a new type radiator, a develop
ment in upholstery, a far more durable top, and so on.
You find in the greater Maxwell a whole automobile show in itself. You will see
things developed during the war.
It is like a "river of engineering idea3, dammed up, and suddenly let loose."
To spend an hour in examining this Maxwell is a rare treat that any one will
enjoy and long remember.

Model "K"-44
-Buick Three-Passenger Roadstei
THE BUICK Model K-Six-44 possesses marked advantages for the
man or woman who wishes a car of limited passenger capacity, with
an exceptionally roomy and comfortable driving compartment. This
three-passenger model makes the most of these desirable features,
without sacrificing one whit of the modish appearance that belongs
to the type.
The body is distinctly a Buick creation, broadening out to accom
modate a wide, deep seat for three, then curving in at the back to
form a trim rear deck with a weatherproof carrying space for luggage.
The dimensions of .the driving compartment insure easy entrance
or exit from either side, with the control and brake levers well for
ward but within easy reach. The French pleated upholstery is built
for long wear and comfort.
Inclined windshield, handsome improved top of high grade
material, side curtains that swing open with the doors.

United States Department of Agricul
ture Announces Campaign to
Eliminate Scrub Sires
From Breeding.
Washington, D. C, July 29. "Bet.
ter Sires-Better Stock."
This is the slogan of a national
better livestock crusade, to get active
ly In motion October 1, that is an
nounced by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, working In co
operation with the State agricultural
college and other agencies Interested
in livestock improvement. The cam
paign looks forward to future food
needs of this country's growing pop
ulation and results from long and
careful observation of the livestock
industry in this country, and was
planned after extensive consultation
with specialists and breeders. The
plan Is to hasten the replacement of
the multitude of scrub domestic ani
mals In the United States with pure
bred or high grade stock, and also to
improve the quality of pure breds
themselves. The goal in view is
greater efficiency In production.
The campaign will be the first or
ganized effort in a large country to
Improve all livestock simultaneously.
It will interfere in no way with any
work in livestock improvement now
being conducted, but makes all the
work more definite j-.nd effective by
providing official recognition for pro
gressive breeders.
The campaign will be supervsed
from the Department of Agriculture
in Washington and in each state by
the State agricultural college. Coun
ty agents and other field workers ol
the Department of Agriculture and
of the State colleges will handle the
campaign locally. Every livestock
owner actively cooperating and keep
ing and using none but purebred sires
of good quality will be given an em
blem as an official recognition of mer
torious effort.

Heppner-Ritter Road Surveys
Are Made Over Coalmine Hill
A party of surveyors, headed by
Joseph KIrschner, county surveyor
of Gilliam county, are making sur
veys over the Coalmine hill road and
Ditch creek this week. An attempt
was made to reduce the Coalmine
road to a five percent grade, but so
far, the grade has been reduced as
low as eight. In view of the fact that
this was formerly a 20 percent grade
and a hard problem for teamsters,
the road- viewers have done well to
make the easy grade they have. The
road crew is working on part of this
road in the Willow creek basin at the
present time.
