Farmers Purchase
New Overland Sedan

A glance at the pile of orders on
hand at the. WHY'S factory
for the new Overland Standard sedan
which was, on September -, reduced
in price from $685. to S595, reveals the
fact that hundreds of farmers have
purchased this car for their daily
use.
The Overland Standard sedan Of
fers solution to many of the light
hauling problems of the rural res
idents, according to dealers who re-
port that many farmers are using
these new cars to haul small loads of
produce as we'll as for the family car.
The reduction in price to $685. has en-
abled many farmers, dealers report,
to purchase a five-passenger sedan
for less than many touring cars, and
this has brought flood of business
into dealers sales rooms for the
Overland Standard sedan.
The economical operation and low
upkeep costs of the Overland Stand
ard sedan furnishes one of the rea-
sons why this car has made such a
striking appeal to the rural districts
according to dealers who report sales
unusually hessvy in the fafni Ing eOun-
try all over the United States.

Washington, Oct. 2G. - General
business conditions arc more uni

time past, says Frank Greene in his
monthly review OF the business
situation in the current number Of
Nations Business Magazine, pub
lished by the Chamber Of Commerce

price, the grains, cotton and wool
being notable in this respect. All

This tendency was corrected
slightly in early October but not
enough to make up the losses the
American farmer suffered by the
vagaries of the weather and espe-
ciallv the long spells Of heat and
drouth.
"Of the industrial side Of the
situation it may be said that the
employment situation has been
about as good as in September a
year ago and probably better than
two years ago. This despite shut

ponds on the point from which
you measure concessions "
If you take the American stand
ard that France should pay all she
borrowed. with interest at the
same rate we pay to those from
whom we borrowed it, then we
conceded about half the debt.
If you take the popular French
notion that France should pay
nothing at all. then the French,
by offering to pay about a third,
were making tremendous conces-
sions.
The fact is that all the conces-
sion is made by us, no matter
what the terms. IF France does
not pay all it's debt, she should
at least acknowledge all of it, and
regard any remission as a favor.
