and vicin ity who have during the past few months purchased large quanti ties of flour and many of them have in their possession much larger quantities than the regulations of the Food Board permit That the Government officialls are fully aware of what has been going on is evidenced in one case which is under investi gation at Ibe present time It is that of a resident of township who is said to have pur chased over a year ago some where in neighborhood of 200 hags of flour for which he paid per hundred pounds It is understood that this man has re ceived woNl from the Dominion authorities that greater part of this flour must be shipped without delay to Montreal from which port it will be sent seas where it is badly needed He endeavored to secure a full carload of flour at the time he bought the other but was unable to obtain that much and had to be content with what he got The thing which hits him the hardest however is the fact that he must accept the present price for the flour he must send back which is something under hundred this being the penalty for bis at tempt at hoarding was also learned today that a dealer in a village not far from recently sold large quan tities of flour to farmers in his vicinity many of them purchas ing enough flour to last them over a year A Government inspector has been In ho neighborhood for several days past and it in under stood bat a

long distance champion of the world You have read that a stock Maxwell Spassenger car ran for and nights without stopping the motor in the days nonstop test the Maxwell covered miles at an average speed of 25 miles per hour But have you up to now realized the full of that performance Do you know that no other motor car in the vorfd has ever equalled or even approached that performance In a word did you take this test seriously when you heardxrfjt Or did you set it down as a selling stunt to give the publicity man something to talk about Its worth your while to read and to study the conditions under which test was made You knov that tlie American Automobile Association familiarly known as the A A A is the official arbiter of every automobile test and contest But perhaps you didnt know that when a maker places his product under A A A supervision he must do absolutely as told and abide by the decisions of the Board Thats why there are so few A A A Official Records This 22000mile Maxwell nonstop test was official from start to finish Therein lies its value to you proves absolutely the quality of the car of the very Maxwell you buy For verily this was a stock Maxwell Listen First the inspectors disassembled the motor to see that no special pistons valves bearingmetal or parts had been used Every other unit was as critically inspected Then the car was reassembled under their supervision As ve had much at stake and the test was made in winter November to January ve asked permission to take certain little precautions against acci dental stoppage Sounds reasonable doesnt It- But they refused permission to do any such thing For example They would not permit a rubber cover over the magneto it wasnt stock They refused to let us tape the ignition wire terminals they are not taped on the Maxwells ve sell so of course it stock Neither they let us use a spiral coiled pipe in place of the usual straight one from tank to carburetor to guard against a breakage from the constant unremitting vibration it isnt stock Nor to use a special high priced foreign make of spark plug the tun made on the same spark plugs with which all Maxwells are equipped So rigid were the rules we unable to carry a spare tire on the rear it stock A telegram to headquarters in New York finally brought a special permit to cany a spare tire It isnt stock It isnt stock That was the laconic reply of those AAA inspectors to every last suggestion that called for anything but the precise condition of the standard stock model Maxwell that any customer can buy from any one of 3000 dealers anywhere We are glad now mighty glad thai the rules were so strict and so rigidly enforced Any other car that ever attempts to equal that record must do it under official supervision and comply with the same terms And it have to go some For Maxwell set the standard when it performed this wonderful feat Maxwell complied with those rules and made good Every drop of gasoline and oil and water was measured out and poured in by i the inspectors themselves They would not even let our man pour it in I Every four hours the car had to report at the official station for checking And it had to be there on the minute And every minute there an inspector beside the driver on the front seat two more men in the rear One got out only to let another in day and night for days and nights There was one teclmical It is interesting to know the circumstances Dead of night a driving storm a cloudburst suddenly another car appeared in the road ahead In his effort to avoid a collision the Maxwell driver stalled his motor At least the observers thought it stopped and so reported The car did not stop however so its momentum again started the motor if it had indeed stalled when the clutch was let in The contest board exonerated our driver on grounds that his action was neces sary to save life That shows you how rigid were the rules how conscientiously applied by the observers You who owned and driven motor cars you who know how small a thing may clog a carburetor or a feed short a spark or stall a motor will realize what a wonderfully well made car this must be to go through that test under those conditions 22022 miles without stopping The exact amount of gasoline of oil of water used the tire mileage tire troubled the distance and the routes are matters of official record attested under oath and guaranteed by the A By the way the average was miles per tire Any Maxwell owner or may see Ihoso records And heres the most part though no attempt was or could be made for economy the Maxwell averaged miles per gallon of gasoline Borne other car may some time equal one of those performances But to them all In the same test that ear must be a Ibo Roy Ho tin FA I tiers there notice Cafe ide
