INDIVIDUAL EFFORT Will,
WIN The WAR

One of the dangers which beset
our efforts to economic and help
others, is our inclination to depend
too much upon mechanical help in
stead of relying upon the vital
things. This inclination is too much
in evidence in our ideas of winning
the war. It is almost pitiful to read
about our dependence upon inven-
ton and science. We read every day
that Edison has about invented
something to blow up the Kiel Canal
or to freeze the ocean and DESTROY
the U-boats.
The supreme confident power of
the American man is to win this
war; and look for the miraculous to
save us, we weaken our natural
power, and destroy iniative. If we
wait for Congress to make laws TO
protect the food supply, we will have
no supply to protect. Too much time

U. & E. COMPANY SHIPYARD FINEST IN
GULF DIVISION
CHARACTER OF YARD UNUSUAL IN PERFECTION OF
DETAIL AND PERblANENCY

Sustaining their reputation Of do
ing big things in a big way, the
Union Bridge and Construction
Company Of Kansas City, erstwhile
builders of massive bridge struc-
lures, are concentrating their splen-
did forces on the problem of help
ing to supply ships for the United
States Government and are now
rapidly fitting out their excellent
shipyard site on the Bayou Boeuf
adjoining the eastern limits of this
city. The yard construction work has
now advanced to the stage where
work on the first ship has been be-
gun, a second way is nearing COM
pletion and third has been started.
The towering travelling crane to
handle the timbers of the first ves-
sci is about ready for operation and
the foundation of the second ira
veler is in place. When in capacity
swing, there will be six ways to &C.
commodate six 5000 ton ships Of
either wood or steel and all the
other equipment necessary to carry
on the work.
The Union Bridge Company are
building a yard of permanent
character, according to the opinion
of expert ship men who have exam
ined the foundation work, among
them Mr.. j. A. Patterson, govern
ment inspector Of materials and con-
struction who is stationed here. Mr..
Patterson further states that there
will be no finer yard and probably
none so good in the entire Gulf Di-
vision of the Emergency Fleet Cor
poration and that there is no doubt
in his mind but that shipbuilding
will continue on this site long after
the war emergency needs have been
supplied. III the construction of the
YARD is under the supervision Of Mr..
Patterson and he has had broad ex-
perience in work of this kind.
The Union Bridge Company is not
only building ways and general
equipment Of high-class nature but
in their fire protection and lighting
systems outlined they are planning
on broad lines. The water for the big
yard will be furnished from the un-
excelled city supply and the large
mains throughout the yard afford
the works the same fire protection
had by property within the city
limits. In keeping with the modern
methods Of dealing with their labor,
the shipbuilders are now erecting q
large hall where laborers may assem-
bic at meal time to eat their lunches.

Former $1,000 and $1400 cars now
cost as much as a Hudson Super-Six.
No changes warrant such an in
crease. They are practically the
same as the cars which recently sold
at 5000 to $500 less than the Hudson
Super-Six.
Cars in the $4,000 class and up have
increased from $3.50 to $780, That
removes them further from the
Hudson Super-Six price.
Increased cost of material is re-
sponsible for the higher prices.
Hudson prices have not increased
this year. Our materials were con-
tracted for months ago. When pres
ent supplies are exhausted then Hud-
sons, too, must cost more. Until then
Hudson, because of it's value, is the
lowest priced car on the market.
There can be no preference now
that former cheaper cars cost as
much as the Super-Six.
Super-Six endurance makes it the
preferred amcng fine cars. In every
revealing test it has proved endur
ance unequalleo by any other car.
Hudson leadership is due to the

Changes VIII Be Few
In Next Seasons Ford

There will be very few changes in
the lines of the Ford for the coming
year. One of the improvements is in
the ventilating windshield but in gen
eral the 1918 Ford will appear very
much the same as its relative of 1917.
When it comes to the price, the 1918
ear is on the same basis as the car of
the past year, with $400.70 for a rum
about and $4l5.70' for the touring car,
delivered in Salem. Salem s quota for
retail for the coming year, according
to Wick Bros. is 4S0. That means that
after this number of cars have been
sold retail in Salem, the chances are
there will no more as the big problem
now seems to be not in selling a Ford
but in securing deliveries from the as

pontiff's action was inspired by Aus
tria, the general belief has been that
the central powers would be the first
to respond, either officially or unoffi-
cially.
The Tribuna asserts today that it is
positively informed the pope acted di-
rectly on his own initiative in propos-
ing peace and outlining the conditions
under which he believed it might be
established. The proposals were put for
ward without consultation with any OF
the belligerents and without any extern
al pressure, the Tribuna asserts.
The Catholic press today came to
the defense of the pope with strong de-
malls that his proposals were in any
way inspired by Austria.
The Corriere D Italia declares the
conditions are favorable to the allies,
pointing out the references to disarni-
ament, and negotiations as to Alsace,
Trent and Trieste, as distinctly unfav
orable to the central powers.

The Super-Six is the most powerful

The American Speedway record

That speed for that distance calls
