The Cotton F&nr-sr's Cow
The farmer who grovs so much cotton that he has no room
for a cow is ncfflodinff a chance to make sonic cum ,:,um-. .
If he would follow the advice of the American C otton As
sanation, if he would plant fewer acres of cotton, use
carefully selected seed and fertilize highly
He would increase his production of lint cotton per acre,
thereby maintaining the standard of supplies, hut reduc
ing the net cost per pound;
lie would have left acieage on his farm to keep cows, to
raise hogs, to grow fruits and vegetables and grains.
These would feed his family and give him enough extra
cash so that he could store his cotton in the system of
warehouses advocated by the American Cotton Associa
tion and get for it a fair and equitable price.
This Pank. first, last and all the time, is for the American
Cotton Association's program of better cotton higher
prices, diversified crops and more money for all.

The part that fine steels play
in a
MAXWELL
There is a definite reason for the brilliant performance of
a Maxwell car.
Lift the bonnet and you see the Amplest of engines. Examine
clutch and gears and you see supreme simplicity.
The definite reason for Maxwell performance and endurance is
the fine steels, thote steels built to Maxwell's own formulas, that
combine quality and rare strength, that defy time and the repairman.
This is the story of the Maxwell, the real cause for brilliant
performance and long endurance. These steels do not burden
the engine. They make its tasks easier. They flatten eut a hill
for the engine.
The combination of light weight and great strength-tbe ideal
of Maxwell construction is thus achieved.
And to obtain that rare combination of strength with quality
means costiy steels. So you will find that, pound for pound, the
steels in a Maxwell equal those in any car built.
That is why the rise f Maxwell has been so marked; why
nearly 400,000 have been built; why 100,000 are being constructed
this year; why these will fill but 60 of the demand.
