When we say that no American motor car, regardless of price, excels the New Peerless Eight in performance, depend ability, beauty and comfort, we ask you to accept the strictly literal meaning of our words.
 And then we ask that you proceed to demonstrate their truth, to yourself and for yourself.
 The superior performance and beauty and comfort of the New Peerless are demonstrable in half hours ride.
 THE PEERLESS MOTOR CAR
The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-10-21

Its dependability is dwe1t upon, again and again in the letters which our owners constantly write to us.
 No car, we believe, can show a finer record than Peerless in this regard. Your own experience with cars of the highest class will help to establish our contention on the other three points. If Peerless has not been included in that experience, prepare yourself to make an entirely new estimate of luxurious motoring when you have your first contact with the New Peerless Eight.

|b|G CUT IS URGED
| IN WHEAT ACREAGE
Agreement Will Clear Way for
1924 Prosperity, Council
Official Declares.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, July 20.-The co-opera-
tive agreement to curtail wheat pro-
duction by the wheat growers Of the
six states in the Wheat Producers
Conference of the Southwest will
clear the way for prosperity of wheat
growers in 1924, it was declared by
Grosvenor Dave, executive vice pres
ident of the Wheat Council of the
United States. in q report to the coun-
Gil made public here today.
with an agreement like this the
wheat growers Of the United States
can go long way toward getting on
a sound basis before snow flies" said
Mr.. Dave He Endorsed the policies
of the Wheat Producers Conference
of the Southwest, organized in Wichi-
the Wheat Council OF the United
States would cooperate In the efforts
Of the southwestern men.
Experts Favor Buying Drive.
Several leaders on the Chicago
Board Of Trade. including l.. F. Gates,
Joseph p. Griffin and Robert McDou-
gal, each Of whom has served several
terms as president of the board, said
they favored higher grain prices. Re-
gardtng the campaign which has for
its slogans Buy 1000 bushels Of
wheat" and Buy a barrel OF -four"
Mr.. Gates said:
The campaign to stimulate in
vestment buying Of wheat In small
quantities seems not only reasonable
but feasible.
The grain trade" Mr. Griffin said,
in common with business in gem
eral. would welcome an advance in
the price OF the principal farm prod
ucts. The price of wheat is fixed by
the worlds supply and demand situ-
alton.
Reasons for Breakdown.
Wheat prices are depressed because
OF the financial breakdown of peoples
and countries who normally buy our
surplus. II is being demonstrated d
that political demagogy and agitation
IS no adequate substitute for demand.
Until bankrupt Europe is in q finan-
claI position to buy the surplus wheat
from the American farmer 1t is not
likely that prices Of this commodity Y
VIII materially advance"
Mr.. McDougal said the members OF
the board would welcome higher
prices for grain as the greatest pos
s!nie boon that could happen to the
United states a the present time.
Intend TO Reduce Acreage.
TOPEKA, Kan. July 2o.-Report =
dicate, with striking unanimity."
that Kansas farmers intend to de-
crease their wheat acreage this fall
because Of the unfavora BILE prices, de
clares the monthly crop review, is
sued late yesterday.
The prevalence of Hessian flies and
chinch bugs in the eastern third Of
the state is also given as cause for
reduction in wheat acreage in that
area, the report says.
Black Rust Damage Denied.
WINNIPEG, July 20.-Damage TO
western Canadas wheat crop from
black rust so far is so slight that it
is practically negligible, it was 81 tated
last night by authorize tive organiza-
tiOns responsible for the compila tion
of crop reports. These assertions
|. contradict Chicago adviCes rejecting
adverse coNditions. 1t was declared
that with favorable weather for the
next fortnight rust damage would in
no way be serious.
