These are some new Mitchell
models-Wintercars and all-Season
cars-desiened for the coming
Shows.
They embody new standards in
luxury cars-in finish, in equip
ment, in design. They have some
dozens of attractions which no
other one Car has.
They will give to the Mitchell a
new place among class cars. And
we want you to judge what it
means.

Mitchell Car typifes his ideas Of
efficiency.
The entire present Mitchell fac
tory was built and equipped by
him. And built by up-to-date
methods which cut our factory
cost in two.
The Mitchell Car, as built today,
is the final result of 700 improve
ments made under his regime. 1t
offers you full 20 per cent extra
value, due to this factory efficiency.
Now this exhibit will show you
his methods applied to body
building.

ART, SENTIMENT AND WAR.

1t is significant of the survival of other arts
than that of war in the minds and memories of
Englishmen that cargo of four hundred
thousand dollars worth of paintings by Dutch
masters has just arrived at Cape Town to be
installed In the National Art Museum for South
Africa. The paintings were selected BY Sir
Hugh Lane, who went down on the Lusitania
at the request of Max Michaeis who gave them
to the land where his fortune was made. Eng
land has had the collection in safe keeping
since the war began and recently prominent
ship owner offered to transport the pictures to
South Africa if the government would insure
and safeguard them
Great Britain owes kindly regard to her
South African colony. It's people are fighting
for her as willingly and gallantly as they once
fought her in behalf of their own cause The
collection at Cape Town consists of pictures by
seventeenth century Dutch painters and con
tains some superb examples of the art. one a
Franz Halls valued at one hundred thousand
dollars. Cape Town is appropriate home for
an art that was in its prime when emigrants
from its native land founded the African
colony.

Look Out Now for Motor Stocks.

Cedar Rapids Republican: The
organizing Of motor car companies,
through stock subscriptions, has now
become a regular business, almost a
financial pastime. A few of these
companies have achieved phenomenal
success, such as the General Motors
company. not to name dozen others.
all more or less colossal. The stocks
of these corporations have gone soar
ing. The Ford company makes a
thousand per cent a year On its in
vestment. or its capital stock. The
men who acquired even nominal hold
ings have become rich.
The flood gates of motor specula-
lions are now wide open The stocks
of scores are on the maket. and new
corporations are being organized
every month. Each one issues a
prospectus full OF glowing promises,
based on what others have done. But
1T may be well for the public to look
out before investing. Promoters are
apt to use past successes to launch
new bOoms Because few have
made big moneys. it does not follow
that all the corporations that may
be organized are going to repeat those
successes. There is limit even to
the making and selling of automobiles.
The newcomers will have hard work
TO compete with the established cars
of reputation. It should also be
borne in mind that the older compan-
les had their foundations laid firm
", in the actual business of making
cars, instead of selling stocks.
Motor stocks. even of the older cor
porations. must now be regarded as
highly speculative at the prices they
are selling. Crashes may be much
more likely to follow than phenomenal
profits. Those who are tempted to
invest would better look over the
matter carefully. Every day 1t Is
easier to go wrong in such invest
ments.

value for mankind of the war. He says there
is no doubt that insanity, as well as crime, mas
lessened during the period of the war, and he
finds the explanation simple enough, namely.
that under the tremendous stimulation OF the
need, many men sswho have never known how
to live' have thrown off neurasthenic weak
ness and have defied ssthe spell OF ancient IN
hibitions and long established impracticablll-
ties and gone forth to face wounds and death. s
In word, men have been shaken out OF their
stiffening habits and actually renewed IN the
spirit of their minds,'' albeit as with club.
Beyond doubt, the war has given the world
something to cry for, and vast host of minor
and relatively imaginary woes have disap-
peared as if by magic. This phenomenon, OF
course, is something which we do not see in this
country, except In occasional reflections, but 1t
is the great marvel of life in England and on
the continent. Here are folk smitten to the
ground by the hammer of brutal force; but up
they spring and refuse to be interested IN any
of the little concerns of life it existed before
the great conflict came which beats out the
ringing metal in men and women.

WAR AND INSANITY

During the first month of the great war peo-
pie began to call the war ga Madness and TO
say that not only the artillery fire but the
speculation upon where it would all lead to
were 'maddening''; all this during August.
1914. Since then the accusation of madness
has been made by somebody against every Deo-
pie, every ruler and pretty much against every
policy developed during the past two awful
years Under such stress and strain does the
whole world live at present, that even in geo
graphically sheltered America the phrase
swar-mad' has become a universal idiom in
common talk
Everybody's nerves are so keenlv on edge
that one is more convinced than ever that
pretty much everybody is crazy. Dean Swift s
declaration that most of the crazy people
were loose and the sane ones shut up in asylurns

TODAY.s BIT OF VERSE
THE MAN WITH A DREAM

He may be right he may be wrong,
& He may be false or he may be true
The singer is often than the song,
= The idea more than the man. perdue
But right wrong, there's glory in it
& Full to the brim each glorious minute
When the man with the dream goes forth to see
: What the world and the and the dream may be.
And the ship may sink and the brave go down,
And wrong may triumph and know rest,
But one man more may have won crown
For trying little to do his best.
And the dream won't hurt. and the seed may blow
In fertile heart that will come in time
To help it sprout and help it grow
In the sun and rain OF kndlier cline.
1t is with dreams and with men that dream
None even knows what there is in store
Till he follows the path of the Turing CLEAN
Or whether it leads to peace war.
For without the dream there is a deed
E That is worth the hour it costs to do
And the man with the vision is this days need
For man may be false, but the dream is true.

BIRD PROTECTION.

The ratification of treaty between the
| United States and Canada for the protection
of migratory birds marks the finish of the work
of years by the American Game Protective and
Propagation association. This new treaty pro
vides that no bird important to agriculture be-
cause it is an insect destroyer shall be shot at
any time; also that no open season for game
birds shall extend for longer period than
three months and half, and that both parties
to the treaty shall so restrict open seasons on
game birds as to prevent their being taken
during the breeding season.
All conservationsts must regard this
treaty as forward step Besides the Ameri-
can Game association, the Massachusetts, Au-
dubon society and the Permanent Wild Life
Protection Fund have been active in work for
its conclusion, and it must be said that Cana
da's consent has not been obtained readily.
1t was necessary to have the assent OF every
province, and Nova Scotia and British Column
bia resisted for long time. The principal OBJ
lection to it has come from sportsmen, but the
Importance Of the ends sought has justified the
persistence of the conservative efforts
Under the wise restrictions of the treaty
more than thousand species and sub-species
of our most interesting American birds will be
protected, from the Gulf of Mexico to the far
north It's results must be beneficial in high
degree to farmers. fruit growers and forest
owners, since it secures the conservation of the
birds which destroy the insects.
