(The great majority of the reports indicate that the market for farmlands is now almost exclusively among farmers. This is an encouraging aspect of the situation.) "A large part of the suffering which the farmer has been compelled to endure since 1920 has arisen from inflated farmland prices brought about by speculation.

It is based on records and observations of farm land dealers of the United States and Canada making up the division. Thirty-one States and two Canadian provinces are represented. "The confidence of the farmer and of the public in the farming industry is in no way more accurately; Reports being received from the various farm sales agencies indicate that farms throughout the entire State of Maryland have been in big demand. The demand has been, from farmers and not speculators, we are told, and has come from every corner of the United States. This activity is not only noticeable in this State, however, since eports from a recent national survey of the farm market States show there has been a big increase everywhere. The survey found that the number of farm sales made in 1924 shows an increase of 42 per cent, over the same period of 1923 and an increase of 44 per cent, in the number of acres sold and a 65 per cent, increase in the considerations paid for these lands.

Announcement of a reduction in the prices of all Dodge Brothers Passenger Cars was received by Muriel Ports, local Dodge Brothers dealer. The new prices were effective Monday, December 1.

One thousand gallons of alleged alcohol in 2 0 drums, valued at $8,-000, were seized by Federal Prohibition agents at Bengies. Fred Stein, driver of an automobile, was arrested. Stein gave an address in the first block of South Washington street, Baltimore. The agents found 13 of the drums on a truck stalled at the intersection of Eastern avenue and Bull Neck road. Two men ran into the woods when the car of the agents stopped. Shortly afterward Stein is said to have driven up to inquire as to the trouble. The agents then went to the Bengies siding of the Pennsylvania Railroad, where seven more drums were found in a box car, they reported. The alleged alcohol, the agents said, was colored green in imitation of the medicated variety, but the coloring is said to be harmless vegetable origin. sharp on the closed types.

There is also a reduction from $1035 to $995 in the list price of the Business Coupe. Dodge Brothers Roadster, under the new price, will sell for $855 and the Touring Car for $885. The announcement from Dodge Brothers also carried the information that balloon tires are standard equipment on all passenger cars. New prices on Special Type cars are\ as follows: Special Roadster . ...$ 955.00 Special Touring..... 985.00 Special B CouDe .... 1095.00 Special B Sedan ..... 1195.00 Special A Sedan ..... 1330.00 The special types carry such extra equipment as nickled radiator shell, motometer, front and rear bumpers, body stripe, steel disc wheels, scuff plates, cowl lights, and five balloon tires. Announcement of these reductions provoked endless discussion throughout the entire industry. The year 1924 has been the most successful in Dodge Brothers history and it is now evident that the factory is determined to establish an even more enviable record in 1925. Obviously, the market for Dodge Brothers Motor Cars will be broadened immeasurably by the lower prices, particularly the closed car types. Substantial improvements in the appearance, riding comfort and other important details of construction and design, plus the car's longstanding reputation for dependable performance, were responsible for the greatly accelerated demand during 1924. For a number of months production was maintained consistently at a rate close to 1000 cars per day. Prices of Dodge Brothers commercial cars and chasses are not affected by the reductions.
