Production and
Price

Do the great variety Of Skies and the fuc-
tuating prices seem confusing and perplexing2
Let's reason it out.
What controls price? Production
AS a 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 a
larger and more powerful motor longer wheel
base-the convenience of electric control buttons on
the steering column and an almost endless list Of
other comforts and refinements.

Presidential Straw Vote.

Attention is again called to the OPP
portunity The Caledonian is giving its
readers to express their choice for
presidential candidates. This is the
only real opportunity the people will
have to make known their preference.
The direct primary law will not do it
because the names of Hughes and
Roosevelt cannot be placed on the Of
fetal ballots for that voting. But in
The Caledonian contest you can vote
for any man you wish without let and
hindrance, and, if the readers will gen.
orally vote, the public will know whom
the people really want. So far the
voting has not been as general as we
had hoped it would be. But anyone
who has not voted can do so by filling
out the coupon printed in last weeks
issue of The Caledonian and mailing
It so 1t will reach us this week. We do
not reprint the coupon this week be-
cause we desire to give every reader
only one vote each on the matter. In
that way it is a perfectly square deal
to every candidate and as far as it
goes an accurate representation of
public sentiment. We appeal to every
reader who has not already done so to
fill out the coupon and mail it to us.
The result of the vote will be given in
next weeks issue.

The seed laboratory of the depart

termination tests of seed oats in three

found that of the 1900 samples tested
26S or over nine per cent terminated
less than seventy-five per cent, 1872
samples or over four per cent germin-
ated less than fifty per cent, and fifty
four samples or nearly two per cent
terminated less than twenty-five per
cent. These results show the import
ance of a farmers knowing the seed
he is sowing. The termination of fifty
per cent of the seed means a half crop
