These extras, on this years output,
will cost us $4,000, 900. They cost
you nothing, because we save that in
our factory cost.
They include
81 unique features
100 per cent over-strength-
Nper cent added luxury.
Their reason Is this: John w. Bate
has built and equipped this model
plant to build this one type economi-
cally. He has cut our factory cost in
two. He is building this car for vastly
less than anyone else could build it.
' The saving goes into these extras.
First, to give you a lifetime car.
Second, to give you a complete car.
Third, to give you marvel of luxury

John W. Bate, our great efficiency
expert, states this about high-grade
cars:
A passenger car, to be roomy,
must measure 127 inches from hub to
hub. To have sufficient power under
every condition, it must have 49,
horsepower motor. The larger
Mitchell is built to fit those require
ments, after IA years of experience.
But he says a S-passenger car is
just as roomy with a 120-inch wheel
base. And that 40 horsepower is
enough.
i So this year he brings out Mitchell

those who prefer this size.

smoked fifty tons Of tobacco.

HOLT AGRICULTURALIST
in OKANOGAN COUNTY
Head of Agricultural Department of
Richland High School Accepts
New Position

Prof. Walter Holt, for the past
three. years principal Of the Richland
High School and one Of the best
known educators in this county, has
resigned his position in the local
schools to take the position of county
agriculturalist of Okanogan county
with headquarters at Okanogan, and
will leave as soon as his successor is
appointed.
Prof. Holt is specialist along ag-
ricultural lines and has done more for
the Richland High School in educating
the boys in practical farming methods
than any man ever connected with
that institution and it will be a hard
matter for the board of education to
find another instructor to take his
place. He is a graduate of the w. s.
c. and has always made an effort to
put his education to practical and ben
eficial use for the betterment of con-
ditions among the farmers on the
Richland project. Many man has
been helped outside of school hours
without the cost of cent, by Prof.
Holt, who was always ready to help
solve problems which were beyond the
knowledge Of the local farmers.
Thru his untiring efforts a stock
judging class has been formed in the
school which has won records at ev-
cry fair in which they have competed,
while his milk testing class has done
wonders in eliminating "boarders''
from the dairy herds of the valley.
1t was common sight any day in
fall or spring to see lot Of husky
Youngsters accompanied by their teach
er making trips around the district to
Judge stock on the various ranches,
demonstrate different methods of
pruning and spraying and other sub
jects which are of vital Importance to
communities like Richland.
Too much cannot be said in praise
of Prof. Hollis work and that the best
wishes of practically every man in
the district will follow him is a fore
gone conclusion. -...l-

riage this winter, was Miss Blanche

KEEN INTEREST
IN SCHOOL CONTEST
Nearly Every Voter in Richland
District Expresses Choice
T. at Annual Election

Never in the history of Rlchlant
have the residents shown as much in
terest in school election as was evi
denced Saturday when practically ev.
cry voter in the entire district turned
out to voice his preference of the two
well known and respected candidates
| c. C. Harding and Jack Roberts. Both
men have been residents of Richland
for many years and number their
friends by the dozen so that it was
thought the result would be very close
However, owing to circumstances
which had nothing to do with the
popularity of either candidate, MIR.
Harding won by majority Of "a
votes, he receiving ZIG and Mr.. Rob-
erts 142.
Cars were used to convey voters
from the outlying districts and no
bets were overlooked by either side in
grabbing the chance of a loose voter
and the enthusiasm ran high from the
time the first vote was cast until the
polls closed at o'clock.
There is one thing which the people
of Richland would like to see done and
that is permanent place of meeting
established for the school board and
regular hours of meeting on certain
dates so that the taxpayers may have
opportunity of attending and showing
the interest they feel in matters per-
tanning to the welfare and education
Of their children. ..-s 49,.
Other communities have this privi-
lege-why not Richland?
Now that the fight is over everyone
should forget their prejudices and
work with the new board of education
with all their energies toward the
uplifting and betterment of local con-
ditions, so that the teachers in the fu-
ture, may feel that they have their
positions and will keep same on ac-
count of ability and not on account of
the way they may choose to vote at a
school election. It is greatly to be
regretted that politics enter to such
an extent into school affairs and the
more they can be separated the bet
ter it is for the teachers, parents and
pupils alike.
Here's wishing the new board every
success in the world in its coping with
the many hard matters it will have to
attend to within the coming year.

ATTITUDE Of RED CROSS
TOWARDS GERMAN WOUNDED

The Red Cross knows no difference
and makes no distinction between any
American citizen.
Insofar as base hospital units are
concerned. the Red Cross eQuips and
enlists the personnel of those to be
sent TO Europe to operate not only
with cur own armies. but with those
OF our allies Once enlisted and mus
tered into service. these units become
part of the Army Of the United states.
and there is Of course no discrimina-
ton by the Red Cross or the Amer
lean Army against ANY loyal American
citizen. no matter Of what national
origin.
Our allies in Europe. however. have
requested the American State Depart
ment not to permit persons born in
enemy countries. or OF parents born
in an enemy country. to travel as
civilians in any Of the Allied ooun-
tries. representations. however. have
been made by the Red Cross, which
it is hoped will ultimately prove eff
fective. whereby loyal American citi
zens on Red Cross service may be
exempted from the operation OF this
rule. no matter what the country OF
their origin.
The Red Cross wants It clearly
understood that it welcomes the CO.
operation Of every loyal American.
and that il does not regard that 10y

WASHINGTON, d. C. Aug IL
Many questions have arisen as to the
attitude of the American Red Cross
toward Germans wounded on the bat
tleheld. and also toward Americans
OF German origin afiliating them
selves with Red Cross hospital units

titude OF the Red Cross. Henry P.
Dawson. chairman Of the War Coun-
ell. authorizes the following state
ment:
When war was declared between the
United States and Germany. the neu-
trality OF the American Red Cross OF
course ended automatically. The Amer
lean Red Cross can cooperate only be-
hind the lines OF the armies of the
But the Red Cross knows no such
thing as the nationality of a wounded
man. ANY wounded enemy turned
over to the care Of the American Red
Cross will receive as kindly treat

The Red Cross will not only extend
every aid and comfort to the armies
of America and its allies. but IL will
assist in every possible way the sick.

civilian populations among our allied
countries. This is in conformity with
the practice OF the Red Cross society
in every country.
