Driving a new Packard "38." William R. McCulla left the new Southern Hotel in"
Chicago at 2:30 a. m., Monday, February 17. Seven hours and nine minutes later he
( arrived at the hotel Pontchartrain in Detroit. The distance is 284 miles.
Three stopi for gasoline and tires occupied a total of 15 minutes. The actual running
time therefore was 6 hours and 54 minutes, making the average speed for the entire
distance a little more than 41 rnifts per hour.
This record, we believe, has never been equalled under any circumstances. Considering
the frozen, rutty condition of the mud and gravel roads traveled by the Packard "38,"
, it stands as a marvelous endurance test of the maximum service car.

Here are some of the features looking to safety, convenience and maximum service:

GOVERNOR CRAIG
SPOKE TO BOARD
4
Masons Enjoyed Recent
Meetings Which Were
Held at Wilmington.
RAX.EIGH, June 7. '(Special )
The state board of agriculture adopt
ed the budget for the work of the de
partment for the next sis months, be
ing about 18,000 more than, the budg
et for the past six months and ad
journed. One of the Increases In ths
budget Is tor a co-operative market
ing division of the department, the
amount for this being $2,600 with
which it Is Intended to get this new
department under way before the new
year. The resolution for the creation
of such a division was offered by Ed
itor Clarence Poe, of the Progressive
Farmer, who was only recently ap
pointed as a member of the board,
this being, In fact, the first meeting
since he was appointed. The board
this morning adopted a resolution
setting out that In the co-operative
work between the department and the
A.AM, college the board transfers to
the committee on co-operation only
the work in which there Is duplication
or experimentation, other matters to
remain under the direction of the
commissioner of agriculture as In tho
past.
Governor Craig was invited before
the board to give expression to his
views on the general work of the up
lift of the farmers and to offer any
suggestions. He talked on rural condi
tions and took the position that im
provement of these conditions meant
more to the state than any other im
provement that could possibly be pro
moted because the farmers are such
a large percent of the people of the
state and farming is the foundation
of all other Industry. He advocated
the (segregation of (property for taxa
tion on the ground that this Is the
most economic way to "spend money
and the people would be willing to
pay taxes when they saw and knew
that they were getting the benefit of
these taxes. He looked for higher
development of the country life of the
state at no distant day. A system of
taxation that would enable each com
munity to tax itself for Its own benefit
would hasten greatly road Improve
ment, electric light systems would be
Installed for rural communities mar
keting would be Improved and there
would be far more effective co-operation
along all agricultural lines.
