Weye ue to make a guarantee that present prices
suoah be maintained, it u,omd mean a one. sided
bargain in favor of the manufacturer, as 1t yo1M
brevent US giving the buyer reduction, should
material and labor costs justify reduction.
The Packard Company makes greater per-
centage of all the parts that enter into its and
trucks than is made by any other fine automobile
concern in America. 1t does this because it cam
not buy and assemble parts that are up to the
Packard standard of service and quality.
Skilled labor of necessity enters very largely
into the production of SO beautiful, SO simple and
SO proficient mechanism.
The net result is that the upkeep Of Packard
Twin Six is less than that Of compromise cars at
half or two. thirds the Packard price.
To the man who can afford the first cost,
Packard delivers utility value for every dollar of
his investment greater economy, less depreciation
and it does not ask him or his family to COM
promise in the service, the comfort, the safety
of their motoring.
From present indications there will not be
enough of either Packard cars or trucks to meet
the demand this year.
Trucks are ready for immediate delivery. Your
order for Packard Twin Six passenger car of any
model should be registered with your Packard
dealer at once to insure late spring delivery

FARMERS SCRATCH
THEIR HEADS OVER
THE INCOME TAX
ONLY WAY TO MEET PROPOSE.
1lON is TO KEEP SIMPLE
ACCOUNT BOOK

Many Michigan farmers are al
ready ponaerlng over the details of
the income tax reports which they
must fill out during the next few
months, and many Of them are find
ing that the job is going to be diff
ficult one. The man who does his
bookkeeping in his head is finding
that the tax report sheets call for
much more fact than he has at his
command.
these reports are simple, says
G.. III. Graves, farm management
specialist at the Michigan Agricultur-
al College. at Lansing, .'if the for
mer has kept an account during the
wear and taken an annual inventory
If he has no record of his years bus
mess. however, making the report is a
difficult process.
Rulings of the Commissioners of
international revenues permit far
mers to report on the inventory basis
provided they keep some system of
farm accounts that is accredited by
the department. This is by far the
easier and better method, because
each years business is reported ac-
cording TO actual income and not ac-
cording TO the cash receipts"
Simple and practical farm account
books, suitable for this purpose, can
be secured from the county agricul-
tural agents in any part of the state
by applying to or writing to them.

The missionary was telling White
Arm about the debt of the Societies
and explaining how because of this
the mission was hampered for funds.
He wanted to know how many Bap-
tise Jesus people there are. When
told that there are 100000 northern
Baptists he seemed amazed. 1t took
him some time to comprehend, then he
said
eff the Baptist people are in num-
Der like the leaves on the trees, and
they truly love Jesus, why is it that
they get behind with their Jesus mon
ey? 1t ought to be easy to get lots
of money for Jesus when there are so
many people love him." Never yet

woman's work, city, state, national,
world wide, all included, for the whole
denomination, averaged ten cents per
