Production and
 Price

Do the great variety of Sizes and the huc- tuating prices confusing and perplexing? Let's reason it out
 What controls price? Production. As manufacturers production increases, his production cost, per car, decreases.
 Therefore the plant with the largest production is in position to give more of everything and charge less for it.
 We are the worlds largest producers of Six and Four Cylinder Automobiles.
 Consequently you get in the Overland Six larger and more powerful motor-a longer wheel basethe convenience of electric control buttons on the steering column and almost endless list of other comforts and refinenents.
 yet what is the price?
 Not $12OO or $500 but SIMS.
 And when it comes to Six Cylinder perform ance remember the Overland Six is the star of them all.
 One ride will convince you.

Sometimes the consumer can secure

REGISTRY LIST ADDS BETTER
STATIONS

That Minnesota is making progress
in horse breeding is shown by the fol-
lowing figures published by the state
stallion registration board:
The increase in purebred stations
since 1910 has been from 1927 to 2,O56
-54.7 per cent.
The decrease in the number of grade
stations in the same time has been
from 2,214 to 1,S96-14.3 per cent.
The percentage Of the total of icens-
ed stations registered is now 50 per
cent; in 1910 it was 40.3 per cent.
The registration board is encourag
ing better horse raising by special
meetings for members, furnishing
judges al local colt shows, furnishing
speakers on horse breeding for farm
ers' clubs and assisting farmers in Sc.
Letting good sires. The board also

TEST SHOWS FALL, PIGS YIELD
PROFIT

Fifty-seven fall pigs fed at Univer-
sity Farm, St. Paul, last winter and
marketed recently left margin Of
$4.56 head to cover cost Of labor,
risk, interest, profit, etc.
r. G. Ashby Of the animal husbandry
division at University Farm, began a
series Of tests two years ago to deter
mine whether raising fall pigs is pro-
titable in Minnesota. The margin of
nearly five dollars a head is the result
of the test.
Eleven sows farrowed fall filters for
the tests, and the pigs were weaned
December 16. They were put on feed
ing tests two days later. The records
kept cover all feeds consumed by sows
and litters from narrowing to weaving
and from the time the actual feeding
test was begun until it was finished.
The total cost of feed for the sows
and pigs up to weaving time was
$1se.sl. From weaving time to the
time Of marketing, the feed cost
$577.8S, making total cost Of $13.42
head. The feed was counted at
these prices: Shelled corn, IS cents
bushel; ground barley, IS cents a
bushel; shorts, $26 ton; tankage, $50
a ton.
The pigs averaged 1914 pounds
when sold May 6. they were sold at
$9.65 in South st. Paul, price equiva-
lent to 1910 at home. The selling price
of $179S left balance of 1886 each.
No account Of manure is taken in these
figures.
The pigs were fed in five lots, three
lots from self feeders and two lots fed
by hand. Those in the lots in which
the self feeders were used did better
than those in the other lots. The corn<
fed lots required about seven bushels
Of corn, forty pounds Of tankage, and
from thirty to forty pounds of shorts
for each pig from weaving time to the
close Of the test.
The pigs were fed grain alone They
were given no milk and did not have
access to the cattle yards. Mr.. Ashby
thinks that when milk is available OF
when the pigs can pick up after cat.
tie the margin will be correspondingly
! increased.

Minneapolis, June 29-saturday,
July l, the Minnesota troops will be-
ready to start for the border.
This word does not come from an
overenthusiasttc young officer Of the
guard aching to get into action and
show his valor. Nor is it guess. On
the contrary it is conclusion reached
by members of the regular army mus,
tertng board.
Things calculated to cheer the
hearts of enthusiastic guardsmen be-
gan to happen late in the afternoon.
It seemed as if one obstacle after an,
other was lifted from the path which
leads to Mexico.
Supplies Coming From Chicago.
In the first place, just at time
when the troops were despairing Of
ever obtaining their eQuipment-shoes,
blankets, hats, uniforms and the 1ike
there arrived at headquarters a tel
egram from the war department.
This telegram instructed Lieutenant
Colonel Arthur Johnson, ranking mem,
Der Of the mastering board, that if a
list Of all supplies needed by the Min,
nesota troops be telegraphed to the
regular army storage stations in Chi.
cago, such supplies would be sent by
last freight Immediately upon receipt
OF the Memofandas.
Clerical Work Nearly Completed.
Next the little regiment Of regular
army officers and clerks who have
been doing clerical work on the mus
tering-in process discovered that all
clerical work on the Third regiment
ct infantry had been completed.
There followed meeting Of the
mustering board at which it was found
that it viii be feasible to complete
the clerical work on the other three
regiments within q day or two.
Army Surgeons on Way.
Word also reached the camp that
regular army surgeons who are to put
the troops through physical examine
lions are on the way and it was calcu,
lated that the entire four regimenta
can be put through the necessary phy4
s1ca1 examinations in Is or 10 hours.

with the American demand for release

Whether state of war has been

News Of the release Of the prisoners
brought undisguised relief to high Of

While It generally is conceded that
this move lessons tension and makes

for war will so steadily forward
There will be no interruption Of tho

The fact that Carranza has complied
with one Of the demands is accepted
by the more optimistic officials here

prevent a break.
However, the United States will in
