We  Can  Deliver  Y our  Fleetwood— Now 
Remember,  we  have  repeatedly 
challenged  any  motor  car  manu¬ 
facturer  in  the  United  States  to 
produce  a  car  of  equal  weight 
and  power  that  will  show  gaso¬ 
line,  oil  and  repair  records  within 
20  per  cent  of  “Fleetwood” 
records. 
It  is  a  beautiful  car — a  wonderfully 
luxurious  car.  But — over  and 
above  all  else — it  is  a  strictly 
RELIABLE  car.  It  is  a  true 
Paige  every  inch  of  it. 
So,  why  not  see  the  Paige  Dealer 
at  once.  Place  your  order  just 
as  soon  as  you  possibly  can. 
Don’t  wait  until  it  is  too  late  to 
secure  prompt  delivery. 
It  is  probably  no  exaggeration  to 
say  that  the  Paige  Fleetwood 
“Six-38”  is  the  most  popular 
light  six  on  the  American  market. 
Up  to  the  present  time  it  has  been 
absolutely  impossible  for  us  to 
supply  the  demand.  Many  pur¬ 
chasers  have  been  obliged  to  wait 
thirty,  sixty  and  even  ninety 
days  for  their  cars.  And  each 
month  the  “waiting  list”  has 
been  growing. 
But  now  our  greatly  increased  pro¬ 
duction  is  helping  the  situation. 
Paige  Dealers  are  now  prepared 
to  make  prompt  deliveries.  There 
is  a  much  coveted  “Fleetwood” 
ready  for  YOU — if  you  will  only

free  access  to  the  nearby  markets  of  the 
great  cities  of  Iris  own  State.  The  small 
shipper  is  discriminated  against.  Great 
organizations  of  middlemen  secure  u  pre¬ 
ference  because,  with  their  freight,  de¬ 
partments  and  claim  agencies,  they  can 
secure  advantages  of  which  the  farmer  is 
unjustly  deprived,  A  public  service  law, 
adequate  to  meeting  the  requirements  of 
the  situation,  would  do  much  to  prevent 
these  abuses  to  which  1  have  referred. 
The  public  stand  for  a  constructive  pro¬ 
gram  relating  to  foods  and  markets  which 
1  have  already  Liken  seems  to  have 
stliug  the  Governor  of  (bis  State  into 
an  expression  of  sympathy  for  tho  condi¬ 
tion  of  the  consumer  who  now  pays  so 
much  for  what  he  buys,  and  the  condi¬ 
tion  of  the  farmer  who  now  gets  so  lit¬ 
tle  for  what,  lie  sells.  1  regret  that  all 
that  Governor  Whitman  has  done  in  ref¬ 
erence  to  this  subject  is  to  express  sym¬ 
pathy  and  use  ambiguous  expressions 
that  really  mean  nothing.  In  a  letter 
which  he  recently  wrote  he  tries  to  make 
it,  appear  that  he  js  in  favor  of  the  work 
of  the  Department  of  Foods  and  Mar¬ 
kets.  In  expressing  Iris  views,  lie  indi¬ 
cates  that  he  favors  the  performance  by 
this  Department  of  its  “proper  func- 
liniis.M  It.  is  noticeable  that  he  does  not 
define  what  these  functions  are.  The 
proposed  constitution  which  was  submit¬ 
ted  to  the  people  last  year  and  over¬ 
whelmingly  defeated,  attempted  to  abol¬ 
ish  the  Department  of  Foods  and  Mar¬ 
kets.  Governor  Whitman  was  tln>  earn¬ 
est  advocate  of  the  adoption  of  the  pro¬ 
posed  constitution.  I  opposed  it  because 
it  embodied  a  reactionary  program. 
Whatever  Governor  Whitman  may  now 
say.  when  lie  asks  the  votes  of  the  people 
of  this  Stale,  it  is  apparent  that  he  lias 
taken  no  action  to  aid  either  the  farmers 
or  the  Consumers  of  the  State.  Actions 
sneak  louder  than  words,  especially  am¬ 
biguous  words.  One  of  the  most  import¬ 
ant  tasks  now  before  the  Stale  of  New 
York  is  to  promote  the  interests  of  tho 
farmers  and  consumers  of  this  State  along 
the  lines  that  I  have  indicated.  If  elect¬ 
ed  Governor  of  lids  State.  I  shall  take 
the  initiative  in  this  great  work.

Boston  Produce  Markets 
Dealers  are  taking  hold  of  the  apple 
proposition  with  more  activity.  Buyers 
are  numerous  in  the  leading  orchard  dis¬ 
tricts,  and  the  more  desirable  orchards 
have  been  taken  at  better  prices  than  pre¬ 
vailed  a  few  weeks  ago.  The  range  has 
been  gem-rally  from  $2  to  $2.50  per  bar¬ 
rel  at  shipping  station  for  Grade  "A.” 
Apples  near  Boston  are  being  sold  by 
the  box  to  a  greater  extent  than  ever  be¬ 
fore,  because  apples  in  open  packages  are 
not  subject  to  the  now  grading  laws  pre¬ 
vailing  in  Massachusetts,  and  most  of  the 
other  States,  and  many  growers  wish  to 
avoid  the  need  of  complying  with  the  new 
requirements.  Trucking  facilities  too  are 
better  than  in  former  years,  and  boxes 
can  be  shipped  heaping  full  and  arrive  in 
good  condition.  The  range  on  boxed  fruit 
1ms  been  50  to  One.  delivered  to  t lie  trucks. 
Transportation  and  boxes  furnished  by 
tlie  purchaser.  Box  apples  have  been 
sold  mostly  orchard  run.  including  every¬ 
thing  except  culls  and  eider  apples.  Some 
growers  are  storing  their  apples.  A  few 
have  been  putting  in  storage  plants  to 
hold  their  fruit,  for  a  long  time.  The 
llampden  County  Farm  League,  which 
goes  into  the  apple  situation  carefully 
each  year,  states  that  buyers  are  offering 
$2.2.“  to  $2.50  per  barrel  for  Winter  “A” 
grade  apples  to  he  packed  and  delivered 
at  the  shipping  point,  and  advises  grow¬ 
ers  to  hold  tlieir  extra  stuff  for  a  late  sale 
unless  they  can  get  at  least  these  prices 
for  it,  and  says,  “those  who  have  average 
grade  or  poorer  grade  fruit  would  do  well 
in  most  cases  to  get  rid  of  it  as  soon  as 
they  are  offered  anywhere  near  a  decent 
figure.  There  is  a  great  deal  of  average 
fruit  on  the  market  and  the  larger  share 
of  that  which  remains  unmarketed  is  av¬ 
erage  grade  stuff  which  is  bound  to  lower 
the  selling  price  on  this  class  of  goods. 
It  is  to  be  regretted  that  there  are  not 
better  facilities  for  utilizing  the  poorest 
grade  apples,  thus  keeping  them  off  the 
market,’’  The  League  notes  the  unusual 
prevalence  of  the  “Brooks  spot”  on  Bald¬ 
wins,  which  is  distinct  from  the  ordinary 
Baldwin  spot.  Recent  wind  storms  have 
blown  off  u  great  deal  of  fruit,  although 
the  large  share  of  the  apples  have  been 
gathered.  The  Boston  market  has  a  very 
wide  range  of  50e.  to  $2.25  per  bushel 
box,  and  $1.50  to  $5  per  barrel.  These 
are  mostly  Fall  varieties,  top  quotations 
being  commanded  by  choice  McIntosh  and 
similar  kinds.  Baldwins  range  from  50c. 
to  $1.25  per  box. 
Pears  have  a  wide  range  of  50c.  to  $3 
per  box,  the  standard  kinds  selling  mostly 
to  $1  to  $1.50  for  fair  to  choice  lots,  and 
top  prices  being  for  such  kinds  as  fancy 
Seekci  and  Bose.  The  cranberry  market 
has  maintained  the  rerent  improvement, 
ranging  from  $1.50  to  $6  per  barrel,  or 
$1.75  to  $2.25  per  crate.  New  York 
grapes  are  selling  12e.  to  14c.  per  small 
basket.  Plums  30c.  to  -t0<\_  per  8-lb.  bas¬ 
ket,  and  quinces  around  $5  per  barrel.
