Vt is fixed Packard principle that price is
incident to quality.
Price advances in Packard are never
made for any other reason than TO maintain the
highest standards.
1t used to be the fashion among manufacturers
to think that quality matter of materials
to think that it could be maintained solely by pur
chasing high grade steel and lumber and fittings.
The Packard people have always held that the
spirit of the artisan is equally important and are
confident that the advantage the Packard owner
gets in the performance of his is largely
matter of the quality of Workmanship and the
spirit of the workman.
A Packard price advance is interesting to the
present Packard ownerbecauseit draws attentionto
the cash value of his investment in transportation
We know of no motor car which brings today

When they buy Packard they are buying the

They are buying the nerve rest which comes

OREGON SETTLEMENT
PLAN MEETS FAVOR
Purchase and Resale of Reclamable
Lands to Soldiers to Farm
Under College Supervision.

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
wallis, Jan. 14.-The Oregon land
settlement plan, which provides for
the reclamation and purchase OF
lands for resale to soldiers and other
desirable settlers, and which practi-
cally guarantees the success of the
settler by supervision of the farm
management department of the Ore
gon Agricultural College, is the first
project of TIE kind ever attempted,
according to Ii. D. Scudder, professor
OF farm management, who has Just
returned from Washington, D. c.,
wehere he received promise of
favorable legislation on the plan.
"This plan of ours has captured
everybody" he says I'VE have been
promised just the legislation we
want-broad enough to provide for
cooperation of the states with the
federal government and permitting
us to carry out our Oregon land
settlement plan.
Model farm management farms
for settlers in every part of the
state will be our program in future
land settlement, and the federal
legislation will provide the funds for
reclamation and purchase of lands
for resale to soldiers on the easy
payment, low interest plan. We ex-
pect to get the necessary state legis-
lation to go with this at the coming
session.
THE authorities at Washington
tell us that the application of the
farm management idea to settlement
is brand new and our model farm
management farm is the first thing
of the kind ever attempted. The
Office of farm management has
promised us funds for both investi
gational and demonstration work in
farm management in Oregon
