Foresight and Courage

1t has required an enormous invest
ment in plant and equipment to
prepare for this enormous produc-
ton.
The prime requisite in the automobile
industry is still foresight and cour-
age.
MIR. WHY'S foresees a demand this
year in excess of the possible
supply.
In addition to enormous investment
in plant and equipment Mr.. WHY'S
had the courage to contract long
ago for enormous quantities OF raw
materials-$35, 100000 worth al
ready IN hand for this years
record production.
See all this reflected in the values we
have to show you in the most
comprehensive line of cars ever
built by any one producer.
Note especially the remarkable values
represented in the Big Four at
$3.50 and the Light Six at $3.50.
The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1917-03-02

automobile values as at present
established are largely due to the
foresight and courage of Mr.. John
n. WHY'S, the president of this
institution.
He foresaw the universal use of the
automobile and had the courage
to produce quality cars in larger
quantities than they had ever
before been produced.
Steadily increasing production made
possible savings and economies
which steadily reduced costs and
repeatedly established new values.
Eight years ago, with a net worth of
little more than $4,000 this COM
pany produced 400 cars.
This year, with net worth of over
SOS, 100000 we must produce
over 200, 900 cars to fill our dealers
contracts.

is due within the next few days, when
the stores and warehouses will be
empty. when everything is eaten up.
1t Is then that the real revolution will
have arrived. Instead Of bread Milu-
koff will have only promises OF Ger
man blood for the starving people.
They will naturally turn to men of
their own class. like Tscheidse. who.

There Is = very scant supply Of mu-
nitions in Russia, and tho guns
bought from the Japanese have an
ugly habit Of bursting after being fired
. couple Of times. Also the disorgan-
ization and congestion Of transporta-
ton throughout the country is so en-
ormous that supplies for the trenches
are already severely affected. and with
the new regime coming in these difii-
culties are bound to multiply rapidly
So. come what may. the utmost ex-
pected from Russia Is a continuance
Of the present rather passive methods

mans think they have reason to vel

no other reason. surely for the fact
that it can not tend to prolong the

general ELECTION
TO Be HELD in
JAPAN ON APRIL 20

Toxic, March! -(Correspondence
Of the Associated Press).-The gen.
eral election to- be held April 20 un-
doubtedly will be one Of the most Inn
portant in the history Of Japan for
the essence Of constitutional govern
rnent is involved: Field Marshal
Count Terauchi. the prime minister,
and his chief lieutenant, Baron Shin
pei Goto. Japan's energetic home min
lister, have made clear their concep-
ton of the issue. 1t is their deter
mination not to bow to the will Of q
"tyrannical majority in the house Of
representatives Count Terauchi dis
solved the house in January when the
majority constitutional party backed
q resolution Of want of confidence in
the ministry.
The groups hostile to Terauchi &C.
cuse him Of violating the spirit of the
constitution, promulgated by the late
Emperor Mutsuhito. They insist that
the political parties shall have some
voice in the affairs of the empire and
that Terauchi's party cabinet rep
resents unacceptable retrogression.
It Is now believed that the cabinet,
seeing the practicability Of party af-
filiation in the house, will seek a
kai which controlled 10 seats in the
old house. Count Terauchi and his
friends probably will strive for the
election Of an Independent group to
be controlled by him and, by uniting
this group with the Seiyukai, seek
a majority.
The Marquis Okuma, head of the
last cabinet, is quoted as saying: mot
only two-thirds Of the house but the
whole nation is opposed to the
Terauchi administration. Even among
peers there is an undercurrent of hos
tility. The situation has aroused the
indignation Of the empire"

WHEAT MARKET CLOSES
TWO CENTS HIGHER

+ Minneapolis. March 22-May wheat
&c higher. July wheat 1-Sc higher.
September wheat Sac higher, COM
pared with yesterdays closing quota
tons.
The wheat market was practically
unchanged at the opening and then
eased but turned strong later in the
session and closed at the high marks
Of the day. The market has scalped
back and forth within comparatively
narrow limits during the day and at
times has been very quiet.
Traders were inclined to be rather
nervous and change their position

The cash markets continue strong
and there has been some business in
old hard wheat from Chicago while
country offerings continue light. Sea-
board reports some congestion at
ports but it is believed that more ves-
sells will be provided.

BERLIN LOOKS
FOR A SECOND
RUSSIAN REVOLT
Predicts Another Revolution
when People will Demand
Bread and Peace.

Berlin. March 23-(via Tuckerton.
N. J.)-The abdication of Emperor
Nicholas II. Of Russia came a. a great
ed the worst thing that could happen
to the new revolutionary government
In tho name Of the czar they could
have done anything with the great
masses Of the Russian people. but
what will these masses do when they
hear that Milukoff and Buchanan (the
cOfitish ambassador) have deprived
the Tagleblatt, for surely that version
will spread among the masses.
It is the general opinion here that
the new government cannot last long.
The transportation difficulties, it is be-
lieved, are bound to increase with
the general disorder unavoidable in
such q sudden change Of government,
and consequently. no bread being
available. the hungry masses will not
tolerate the self-constituted cabinet
longer than a few days. This argu-
ment, Of course, suits the German
case. but It is based on advices from
Russia which were made public some
time before the present revolution.
and IL to the effect that the lower
classes, heartily tired Of the war, are
wishing for peace at any price. Only
the cars authority and power. it is
believed. could keep these masses. of
whom the Russian army consists, at
war.
They want no glory. they want
bread. say the Germans. Tscheidse
himself, the duma Socialist, now .
member Of the executive committee,
said so repeatedly. speaking in the
Russian parliament, and Kerenski.
his colleague. who is on the executive
committee now, has severely censured
the entente for not having accepted
the German peace offer. These two
men are considered more popular
with the masses upon whom for the
next few days depends the fate of
Russia, than Milukoff, who as the
Lokalanzeiger says, would sacrifice
his country to please England.
The real revolution. according to
the idea prevailing here, has not made

had been set. Prices closed nervous

Reports that submarine activity was
hindering the movement Of Scandi-
navian and Dutch ships from this
side Of the Atlantic were influential
against the bulls, and with the peace
rumors formed too much Of load to
be overcome. .,is
Profit taking sales by leading
speculator weakened corn. Oats gave
way with other cereals.
Realizing sales on the part Of the
holder weakened provisions. Strength

good buyers: Locally. many traders
are bearish on corn because of the
high prices. Wagner says corn prices
are traversing experimental territory.
Some Of the strongest commission
houses are bullish and believe yester-

Wheat traders are mixed by the

peace rumors frequently and believe
their effect will be upsetting on
