Dutch reports assert that the extent of the ground planted with potatoes. in Germany shows a falling off compared with previous years owing to the lack of agricultum labour.

„A MINERS' DEMONSTRATION.

The immense importance of the potato crop lies in the fact that a shortage of potatoes would have a disastrous affect on coal production and consequently on riunitions and other war industries. At

a domonstration of miners held at the -beginning of August in Essen “to defend Germany against foreign plans of con- quest," this was openly stated. The attanded by several meeting thousand miners and also by some local authorities. The principal speaker on this cocasion, the Social Democrat, "PATELL & CO.Landtag Deputy Hue, declared that if

Motor Cars

A Wide Range of Models All New Values

From your point of view this announce ment is most important.

For herein we set forth the achievement toward which the Willys-Overland Company has aimed for the last eight years.

This achievement in a word is the com pletion of a great organization to a point where it could make and market a complete. range of motor cars under one control.

- опе

One executive organization,--one factory management, — one purchasing unit, selling expense, one group of dealers, plan, produce and sell all of these models.

As a result The Willys-Overland Company" is producing motor cars of exceptional quality and marketing them af unusually low prices. Every motor car is built to a rigid stand- ard of performance, comfort and appearance.

The new Light Four Cylinder touring car is a striking example. It is finished in gray and is a car of quality in every sense of the word.

The engine is powerful, quiet and of sturdy construction. The soft cushions, easy-riding springs, large tyres and the proper balance in construction absorb all jolts and jars of the highways. Yet this is but one of the new Willys-Overland values. Never before have the economies of vast production been avail- able for buyers of every class of motor car.

And the Overland policy of greater pro- duction, higher quality, lower price is exem- plified in every model and type.

Eet our experience help you in the selection of your motor car.
