 Furnace Blown Up. Gas, which accumulated In the furnace because of the fact that the drifts had been left closed after fresh coal had been thrown on the ire caused an explosion in the heater at the home of Franklin B. Coombes on East street yesterday afternoon. The explosion was of such violence that 1t shook tho house and gave Mrs. Coombes nd the other occupants . bad fright. Clouds of smoke poured through tho house following the ex- plosion and at the request of Mrs. Coombes tho fire department was called out.
 Chief Norton and his men respond ed to the alarm. but when they ar rived they found that the fire had not communicated to the woodwork, the wrecking of the furnace seemingly being the extent of the damage re- sulting from the explosion.

Many New Luxuries

Our new body plant gives us for this
year another enormous saving. All
Mitchell bodies, open and enclosed,
will be built in our own shops.
This saving enables us to add "a
per cent to the cost of finish, uphol-
stery and trimmings. The finish
coats are now heat-fxed. A rare-
grade leather is employed. A hun
dred new touches make today's
Mitchell the handsomest carinits class.
Every Mitchell extra is something
that you want. Nearly all are things
YOU don't find in other like-class cars.
They are things which can't be given
without added price, save under
Mitchell methods.
Come and see them. Judge for
Yourself what they mean to you. And
see which size you like best.
MITCHELL MOTORS COMPANY, Inc.
Racine, Wis, U. S. A.
The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1917-02-22

Another step in Mitchell
efficiency appears in the new
Mitchell Junior. We urge you
to come and see it.
A passenger car, to have
ample power and ample, room,
can't be smaller than the $146O
Mitchell, which has won for
itself one of the envied places
in the motor world. But 40
horsepower is enough for a S.
passenger car. And a 12O-inch
wheelbase gives room enough
more than most cars give.
So the Mitchell factory this
year brings out Mitchell Junior.
Not a new type-simply a size
reduction. So a man who buys
Mitchell can get the size he
wants.
Thousands of these new cars
have been run for months, on
every sort of road. And they
have proved themselves as per-
feet as the passenger Mitchell
car itself.
See the New Extras
In both Mitchell models there
are hundreds of extra features.
They give you at least 20 per
cent extra value over any other
car in this class.
These extras-most of them
exclusive to Mitchells-are paid
for by factory savings: They
are the result of efficiency
The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1917-02-22
81 UNIQUE Features

There are also 81 extra features in
Mitchells. That is, features which
nearly all cars omit. Things like a
power tire pump, reversible head
lights, ball-bearing steering gear and
never-broken springs.
These extras alone, on this years
output, will cost over 81 600, 600. But
all are paid for by these factory
savings.

was extreme. The Mitchell car has
always been a marvel of endurance.
But, in the past two years, we have
doubled this standard to give you a
lifetime car. That fact is announced
for the first time in the models now
on show.
Over 440 parts are built of tough
ened steel. All parts which get a major
strain are built of Chrome-Vanadium,
and built oversize. We pay for steels
in the Mitchell as high as IS cents per
pound.

methods, applied by John w.
Bate.
This great efficiency engineer
built and equipped this whole
plant. Every method and ma
chine is adapted to producing
this car economically. These
methods have cut our factory
cost in two. Nowhere else is
car of this class built anywhere
near so low. ~
You will be amazed to see
how many extras these new
day methods pay for.
Double-Strong Parts
One result is the Mitchell standard
of 100 per cent over-strength. That
is, every vital part is twice as strong
as need be.
The Mitchell standard used to be

List to This Tale
Then Retel Sad Yarn

A reporter for The Herald was wait
ing for a car. There was a touch on
his shoulder. He glanced around and
beheld a spectre.
The stranger was a correct repre-
sentation Of hard times personified.
There were whiskers on the bottoms
Of his trousers and the soles OF his
shoes had secured an interlocutory de-
cree. Attired thus, he started to talk.
My friend" he said, behold in me
a genuine object of compassioni Once
1 was proud as Lucifer and held my
head high above the slumbering pas
sions of need. Fortune smiled upon
me at every Jump in the road, and
thought 1t was going to last forever.
Consequently. I failed to observe even
a woodrat.s instincts of self-preserva-
ton, and made scant provision for the
future.
It's the same old story. Wine.
women and song-and was up against
it good and hard.
''One night at a gambling hell 1
bumped up against a bevy Of beauties.
They had eyes.
Under the mistaken idea that was
a dead-game sport, tumbled-hard.
They inveigled me into a friendly
game. and when they told me that a
'Iollaculo,' or some similar outiandish
name. beat four aces, and proved it by
a sign on the wall, 1 believed them.
ITO make a long story short, for
four days I've tasted nothing but food
for thought Your benign counte-
nance-your majestic ways-they make
me think of my old days. How about
10 cents?''
Who could resist an entreaty like
that?
Well, for one, The Herald man did!
