OUR BUMPER CROP.

Aside from any benefits which the United States may hope to derive from her vastly increased foreign export trade which in crease may be looked for to continue for some years or until Europe recovers from the blight ing effects of the war, the coun- try is rejoicing over something with which the war and foreign trade have nothing to do, the greatest grain crop ever harv- ested
 Of the three principal crops, wheat, corn, and oats, we have this year an acreage of 20, 9OO,O acres as against an acreage of 19O, ,OOO,O ,OOO last year and the latest figures complied by the government statisicians give the following yields: Corn 2,S14,- GOO, ,OOO bushels; wheat, 963, ,OOO,- 900 bushels; oats, 1899, 100000 bushels.
 This is a prosperity that can not be touched or damaged. No adverse conditions can affect it. It is a resource that comes from beneficient nature and from the labOrs of our agriculturists and the vast amount of money that these crops will bring will be paid directly to the producers.
 The most conservative esti- mate of the market value of these crops is $3, 800, 100000 and the proba bilities are that these fig ures stupendous- as they are, will be exceeded.
 All or nearly all the other great grain producing sections of the world will be confronted with a crop shortage due to the war and hece again it would seem as though the United States were bound to benefit from the disasters of the rest of the world Gazette

Ow- ing to the fact that the best trotting and pacing stock of the country will make the Fair on the home trip from San Fran cisco, it will mean unusual at fractions in this line without the cost in big purses which would under other circumstances be necessary to bring these high class horses here. It is expect ed that there will be two days of automobile races, Wednesday and Saturday--the 15O mile Ari- zona Grand PriX on Saturday, at which all the star drivers are expected. There will be the usual grand stand attractions and the cross country autOmO bile race from Los Angeles.

THE 1915 ARIZONA STATE FAIR

Notwithstanding the fact that the state appropriation for the Arizona Fair is cut down $1O,- GOO plans are going forward to make this coming exposition the greatest by far of any ever held in the sta te. In every department extraordinary efforts will be made to get out exhibits which will show the quality of products which are peculiar to Arizona.
 In the matter of economy it will be necessary to adhere strictly to the rule that all ex
 hibits that have no competition in their respective classes, will, if worthy, be awarded second prize and given second money.

 Advises from the various county fair commissioners of the state indicate an unusual activity in the matter of exhibits, and competition for the big Silver Cup awarded to the county show ing the best exhibit. Maricopa County does not compete in this contest. Last year the award was given to Yavapai, but Yuma County and Graham County will make a strong effort to win it this year. Pima County will probably hold it's fair about ten days before the State Fair and exhibits from there will be taken direct to Phoenix, and will put them in line for the county prize. Coconino county made a good showing last year, and with a little hustling may push some of the other counties for first place.
 Renewed activity in agricul- tural matter in Pinal, Cochise and Santa Cruz counties will probably result in most excellent exhibits from these counties. All in all, the county contest pro- miSes to be one of the strongest features of this big exposition.

E1EOPLE are asking their friends a lot of questions about G!le relative values of the A best known automobiles.
 Interest centers chiefly, of course in the lightweight sizes, because the lightweight six is the most popular type of car, and maaSch of the interest Centers in the Chandler.
 The Chandler cannot supply the entire de- rnand for lightweight sixes but for thorough, careful purchasers who want to be very sure of well worth considering.
 Such a purchaser viii not forget that the Chandler was the first high-grade six selling for less than $2OOO and weighing less than 5000 pounds. He will not forget that the Chandler pioneered the way for light-six domination and established the Light-Six Era. That was three years ago. The price was $1785.
 The popularity of the Chandler Idea has grown by leaps and bounds ever since.
 Other 1ig1lt-sixes quickly followed into the market but the Chandler has occupied position Of leadership ali the way. A leadership in quality and price. And now Chandler is building Ten Thousand cars year and still unable to fill the Chandler demand.
 A vital element in the history of Chandler success and the secret of Chandler high quality and low price this year-iS the fact that eSSeHtg- ally the Chandler car of this season is the Chandler car of the first season.
 There has never been any reason for bringing out a radically new model. The original Chand- Ter, ir1 all its principles of design and cor1struc-

ton, was J11aGL. From season to season we have refined 1t and beautif1ed it and added the newest standard features of equipment. And this season we have brought out the really wonderful seven-paSsenger body. But, from the mechani- cal standpoint, the car is practically unchanged. That marvellous Chandler rnotor-the founda- ton Of Chandler supremacy has remained untouched.
 Standing pat a model that was, and IS, right, we have avoided costly experimentation that must attend the production of models. We have lowered our overhead to minimum. We have been enabled to make sensational price reductions from season to season and still give betteY U0Lxe.
 The worlds greatest manufacturer of low priced cars has built his tremendous success on this policy, and the public knows-y0M know if is the policy that gives the purchaser most for his money.
 That is why other of like size and character has caught up with the Chandler price.
 From $1785 this price last year went down to $1595. And this year down to $1295. In practical effect, Chandler offers you $1785 car for $12o5. And ask you to try to match its value in any other
 Look them over, all well-known makes. Study them carefully. Compare them part by part with the Chandler. Compare them with the Chandler for comfort and power and snap and finish and style. Then you will realize how much 1t means to yOM as purchaser that the Chandler right in the first place and that the Chandler manufacturing policy has been a policy of 6eU0tl0n to this O'le naOdeI.
