$so,oo0 LIBERTY BONDS MAXWELL
PRIZE Offer.

All Maxwell Automible agents have
received the following letter from the
Maxwell Motor Co.:
Detroit, MICH, June 1st, 1917.
With score of 1857 miles per gal.
Ion for 80 cars, and 24.47 for s92 cars,
the nationwide Maxwell Gasoline
Economy Demonstration on May 23rd
has inspired the Maxwell Motor Com
pany to put up 100000 for another
great one-gallon gasoline economy
contest.
United States Liberty Bonds are to
be the prizes IN this second event.
The contest is for Maxwell owners
exclusively, dealers being barred.
The Maxwell Company expects to
get an entry list of 10000 owners cars
for this second contest, which is to
take place all over the United States
from June 10th to 18th.
OF the $4,000 in U. 8. Liberty Bonds
to be awarded by the Maxwell Com
pany, $26, 900 worth of bonds are to be
awarded as owners prizes for mileage
made on one gallon of gasoline.
The other s25, 900 will go tothe deal
ers as rewards for assisting the COM
pany to make the stupendous under
taking success.
The conception of this big event
originated with Walter E. Flanders,
President and General Manager of
the Maxwell Motor Company, Inc
1t was directly inspired by results of
the Dealers contest of May 23rd.
While the contest of May 23rd was
open to dealers only, the rules re-
quired that none but privately owned
cars in actual service could be used
for the runs.
In many parts of the United States
and Canada rain fell on the contest
day, and in many places rain had fall
len for several days previously. De-
spite these conditions, the Maxwell
Company feels with such showing,
the company is warranted in defying
the world to beat it.
The 30 highest cars yet reported
made total of 1886 miles on q total
Of 30 gallons of gasoline. This means
IN average OF 39.67 miles per gallon.
the full details, with the name of
The silver and gold grand prize CUP
winner will be published in few days.
In the $4,000 U. 8. Liberty Bond
owners Contest in June, women as
we'll as men Maxwell owners will be
eligible. The company hopes to make
'ven finer showing then was made

Hark America awaken
Hear the knocking at thy door
Kinsmen weary of oppression
Aid and succor there implore
Wilt thou share thy richest blessings,
Freedom, opportunity
Look beyond thy massive portals
Heed this importantly
Hark America awaken
Hear the knocking at thy door
Mind thy allies who are calling
AS they summon thee to war
Wilt thou send thy mighty army
Far across the raging sea
Not for conquest, not for lucre,
But to serve humanity?
Hark America awaken
Hear the knocking at thy door
Ere thy lethargy be shaken
By the cannon s deadly roar
Tyranny has loosed dragon
When mankind desired dove
Thou must slay the frightful monster

$500, 1000 BUSHELS OF WHEAT
FOR DELAWARE NEXT YEAR

In order to bring the yield Of wheat
for Delaware up to the standard two
and one-half million bushels desired
from the State, A. E. Grantham,
AgrOnOmist of the Delaware Experi-
ment Station. at Newark, Delaware.
is preparing a number of articles, of
interest and importance TO the wheat
growers, and which will appear in
these columns from time to time.
The Federal authorities are max
ing preparation for at least a three
years war. Many well informed peo-
pie believe the war will continue for
/ five years or more. The problem for
each Delawarean is what he can do
/ to serve our country best in this cri-
! sis. Obviously the farmer can rend-
er his best service by producing more
food.
The worlds supply of grain is very
much lower than usual. Vast guam
titles of wheat have been sunk in the |
ocean. The armies engaged at war
have called for large quantities of /
food stufs. France has been COM /
PEELED TO reduce greatly the acreage
IN wheat. Russian grain cannot be /
exported under present conditions. /
Australia and India are too far away
to make ready shipments. Crop re-
ports from South America are not
encouraging. The greater part OF |,
the export wheat crop must come
from Canada and the United States
Estimates show that the L. S. will /,
harvest this year very little more K
wheat than We normally use for our
bread and seed. In 1916 the produc- (:
tion Of wheat in the L. s. was seven
ty million bushels below the average. u
Delaware owes il as her contribu- &
non TO the worlds food supply in 1918 /
