The Whites Innovation.

A sixteen valve, four cylinder mo-
tor of the high speed type is the in
novation on which the White COM
pany is just beginning production at
the Cleveland factory. Each cylinder
has four valves instead of two a
pair of intakes and pair of ex-
hausts. High engine efficiency is
the object of the construction, the
White company summing up it's idea
in the words: "Valve efficiency il
more important than the number OF
cylinders" Many interesting changes
are incorporated in other parts o1

UNITED STATES is
RICHEST COUNTRY
IN THE UNIVERSE

Secretary Redfield of the de-
partment of commerce, says the
United States is now the veal
thiest country in the world.
I'VE have reduced our for
eign Indebtedness by three bill
lions," says the secretary. "Since
the war began we have loaned
approximately a billion and a
half. We are the only one of
the great industrial peoples at
peace. Nations turn to us for
goods and borrow the money
from us with which to pay us.
To protect our reserve gold,
which is the ultimate base on
which our domestic credit lasts,
we must maintain our export
trade and must continue to i'm
crease loans and investments
abroad
OF the immense total of loans
to other governments we have
loaned Canada nearly 5000, ,OOO,-
900 since the war began. The
city of Dublin and the city of
London have come to us for
loans. South American coun-
tries and China are coming to
our money markets. Before the
war began all of these loans
would have been made in Lon
don.

AT THE TOY SHOP WINDOW,

(By James ]. Montague.)
There's row of little faces every
night outside the store
Where they never draw the curtain
when the watchman locks the
door,
Eager, wistful little faces, looking at
the heaps of toys
That will bring Merry Christmas to
a host of girls and boys.
Every night they stand there watch
ing, tattered children, in a
Looking at the only Christmas that
they possibly can know.
Look them over, Mr.. Shopper, when
you walk downtown tonight,
Thin and hungry little children, bor-
rowing brief delight,
From the wonders of a Christmas
which to them is just dream,
Just a swiftly passing vision of how
happiness might seem.
And perhaps, when you have seen
them, you will hunt up Santa
Claus,
For they sadly need somebody who
knows how to plead their
cause.
Santa Claus has swarms of children
on his Christmas calling list,
But he'll add few names to it if you
see him and insist.
Help the old man out little, he'll be
glad to add your mite
To the fund that he's investing in the
spreading Of delight.
And these little, w:stful children will
be grateful all the year
For their share, so long denied them.
of the blessed Christmas cheer.

FAMOUS ROW OF
FORD AND DODGE
FORD PLANS MANUFACTURES OF
MOTORS ON A SCALE OF
MUCH IMMENSELY.
The Dodges, Who Own Minority In
terest in the Ford Company, Are
Seeking to Block His Plans; Attor-
neys for Both Sides Present Sum-
mary of Contentious.

Here are statements of both sides
in the now famous difference be-
tween Henry Ford and the Dodge
Brothers. Dodge Brothers are seek
ing to prevent Ford from putting into
effect scheme of manufacturing au-
tOmobiles on scale heretofore un-
attempted. Their attorneys say:
mo one can, and no one should,
complain that a man owning So per
cent of the stock of a corporation
dominates it's affairs, so long as he
keeps it running within the proper
lines. Mr.. Ford's policy of increas-
ing wages, of increasing the number
of employees, and Of lowering the
price of his car to the buyer have all
been important factors in the build
ing up of Detroit, but it is outside
the law.
Public policy demands that no
corporation should be permitted to
determine for Itself the extent to
which it's capital may be increased
without distribution. The state of
Michigan says no corporation may be
formed with more than $25, 100000
capital, yet the Ford company had
more than $50,O0O,OOO August 1. Mr.
Ford admits that a concern making
10000 cars year could not compete
with him-the question of capitaliza-
ton is an economic one.
Limit of Capitalization.
"The statute specifically provides
that a smelter company in Michigan
may not be organized with more than
$1O,O0O,00O capital-Mr. Ford pro-
poses to spend $12,OOO,OOO in the
smelter plant at the Rouge. Mr.
Ford sold land to his corporation for
$4,000 an acre that has cost him
$500 an acre. Doubtless the land
is easily worth 0,O00-but the deal
is illegal just the same.
"If Mr.. Ford makes 100000 cars
next year at the low price proposed
he will create an economic. if not a
legal, monopoly. Last year the Ford
Motor company sold 100000 cars at
profit of about $60,0OO,OOO. 1t
now proposes to make 100000 cars
at profit of $50 less per car. There
may be cases where a corporation is
justified in making extensions at
financial loss. but this is not one
of them. There are only 100000
possible purchasers in the United
States, and he intends to produce
100000 cars this year when 34O,-
900 cars at the old price would have
given the same profit he will get on
that 1,000,0OO."
Mr.. FOrd'S Reply.
And the reply attorneys for the
Ford company made to previous ar
guments was, in part:
"The evidence shows the Ford di-
rectorate honestly exercised it's dis
cretion in the corporations affairs
and was not led around by anybody.
The company is not going outside it's
corporate powers unless the ques-
toned activity be so remote from the

Maxwell's Remarkable Record.

Another remarkable touring rec
ord was established by stock Max

ra piloted car from Indianapolis to
Chicago and return, 376 miles, in
nine hours flat. The return average
of AIT miles per hour was main
tained over roads that were not in
the best condition, due to recent
rains, followed by cold weather. The
run was made to establish an Off
cial record for the Hoosier Motor

by officers of that organization. On
both legs of the journey the Maxwell

Production Record Made by Cadilla

For Cadillac Motor Car company,
the October of the current year
marked the largest in point of cars
manufactured of any October in the
history of the company.
The production of Type IS cars
was 2,O30, an increase of 1O6 cars
over the same month a year ago.
The rapidly increasing prestige of
enclosed styles is indicated by the
fact that of the 2,O3O cars produced,
667 or approximately one-third were
of the enclosed models.

We are on the threshold of win
ter. Every machine and implement
which is not in use should be under
cover. The fall rains plant the seeds
of rust which are harvested by the
manufacturers of farm machinery.
Average life of arm machinery in
this country is short, entirely too
short, and for years has caused an
enormous annual loss to the farmers
and large profits for the manufac-
turer. The best machinery will wear
out in time but the life of an i'm
plement depends primarily upon the
care it has received and the facility
and ability of the farmer to do repair
work.
Represent Large Investment.
The implements used on the farm
represent large investment and this
investment increases yearly. Every
year that can be added to their life
represents profit. This is the age OF
the "iron horse" and unless we take
Care of our machinery, the annual
loss is going to increase enormously
Every farmer should study his ma.
chine and see where he can increase
it's efficiency. Oil is cheaper than
repairs and new tools and when pro.
perly used will reduce the friction
and increase the life of the machine
