Some or the leading members OF
the organization were among the
contributors. Their patriotic action
should set an example for other
Washington business men to follow,
TO make the American soldiers in
France happy.
The employees Of the Havenner
Baking Company chipped in amounts
from % cents-enough to buy a pack
ket of smokes-to 81, and sent in
the amounts this morning. So far
this is the first time in the history
Of the fund that employees of a Bak
ing company have made a round
robin contribution to the Washing
ton Times Tobacco fund.
ESr "UnknONn GOdEoB.
One woman who sent The Times
letter of congratulations for start
ing a tobacco fund to provide Amer
lean soldiers with American smokes
sent a dollar also, and said the SOL
dier who receives the smokes from
her donation would be her unknown
godson."
This suggestion prompts the ques-
tion: How many Washington women
are willing to adopt this idea and sup
ply their unknown godSomS" IN
France with 4 little comfort before
and after they step into the trenches
to meet the foe?
Even though the recipient OF your
generosity may be unknown to You
now, you may come TO know him some
time through this medium. and surely
any boy who leaves the comforts of
home to meet the country's enemies
in a foreign land is worthy OF any
little liberality that may be shown by
the folks back home
return postal card is inclosed
with every package OF smokes. and
the sender is certain to receive the
thanks of the one who receives the
benefit of his or her contribution.
Next Consignment Preparing.
Preparations are under way now to
get the second consignment OF tobacco
ready for dispatch to the boys over
seas. and IL you were not among the
first who sent their gifts of cheer
"over there" you should certainly be
counted among the second.

Other Unique Additions

The Mitchell is also the most
complete car. 1t has 81 features
which nearly all cars omit. These
include a power tire pump, re-
versible headlights, shock-ab-
sorbing springs, a dashboard en-
gine primer, etc.
1t is, we believe, the handsomest
car in its class. In the past year
alone we have. added "a per cent

Some costly cars, no doubt, are
built to Mitchell standards.
Lightness is not a fetish.
Strength and endurance come
first.
But the great Mitchell distinc-
tiOn is modest priced car with
100 per cent over-strength. With
twice the usual margins of safety.
We believe that no fine car any
where near so enduring comes
near to the Mitchell price class.

ARGENT|NOS GLAD
SENATE VOTED FOR
BREAK WITH KAISER
CBy International News serviee1

BUENoS AIRES, Sept 2O.-The ac-
tion OF the Argentine Senate voting
to break of diplomatic relations with
Germany today met with an en-
thusiastic response throughout the en-
tire republic.
The senators were praised by the
press, and it was predicted on every
side that the Chamber OF Deputies
would take similar action.
Ever since the Luxburg revelations,
showing that unneutral messages
were being sent from this city TO Ber-
lin through the Swedish legation,
antiGerman feeling has been grow
ing.
Just now the country is in the
throes of a railway strike. but 1t is
believed that the Government would
take drastic efforts to re-establish
normal transportation facilities should
Argentina decide TO cast her lot with

No Extra Cost To You

We include these costly extras
without extra cost to you. They
are paid for by factory economies
developed in this plant.
This model plant was built by
John W. Bate, the efficiency en-
gineer. 1t was equipped by him
to produce this car at the lowest
factory cost. And every process
is today under his direction.
We build the complete car
chassis and body-under these
B ate methods. The saying
amounts to millions of dollars an
nually. And that is what pays
for these extras.

obtained from Mitchells so many
miles per gallon.
The Washington times., 1917-09-20

For ten years we built cars to
the usual strength standards. We
led in the trend toward lightness.
Then we decided that lightness
had gone too far. Then we
adopted as our standard 100 per
cent over-strength, but we waited
three years to announce it. It
takes time to double car strength,
and to know that you have
done it.

Why Not Have
Carnival Special
Can Be Secured If Majority Decide on
One Day---WilI Give More Time
In St. Paul
WHAT DAY WOULD you GO?
Give information TO Journal TO Show
Whether Idea Is Popular. Do
Il Now!

This branch of the Omaha will
contribute large patronage at the
St. Paul carnival, which opens Jan.
27, and it has been suggested that
those who intend to go, get together
and arrange for a special train which
will run on a schedule to allow them
to remain there for an evening per-
Torrance. The regular train sched-
ule on this branch necessitates leav-
ing St. Paul about $50 in the after
noon and as many would like to stay
to evening shows special which left
there at about 1920 or thereabouts
would be greatly appreciated.
Ellsworth carnival fans are trying
to arouse enthusiasm there for a reg
ular carnival club, with the gaudy
suits, and, to take their brass band
along. They would undoubtedly
unite in an effort to secure special
train service for one day.
To secure a special it is necessary
to guarantee the railway company
certain patronage for the train. If
any one day could be found as desir-
able for the majority Of the pa
irons of this branch, this guarantee
could easily be covered. On what
date from Jan. 27 to Feb 3 would
you rather attend the St. Paul car
nival?
The Journal has been requested to
ask it's readers-those who plan to
take in the carnival-to signify
whether or not they would prefer
special train, and if so, on what date.
A committee from the Commercial
club will probably take up this mat
ter later, but to give them some idea
of the popularity of the proposition
it might be we'll for those favoring
it to put the question to their friends
and if such reports are mailed or
'phoned to the Journal Cphone 29)
we will advance the information to
those in charge.

Pitcher Ed. Lawson Dead

Ed. Lawson. aged %, died of tu-
berculosis at his home in st. Paul
last Saturday night. Ed. will be
well remembered by local baseball
fans as the pitcher for one of the
best city teams River Falls ever had.
In the season Of 1910 he pitched 20
games for River Falls, losing but 3.
By 632 batters who faced him, only
sc clean hits were made. After leav-
ing here he tried out with the st.
Paul team of the American Associ-
alton, but his health suddenly failed
him and he has been ar invalid ever
since. Had his health continued Ed.
would undoubtedly have made q
name for himself in baseball, as he
had great speed, quick curves, con-
troll and good judgment. He was
not addicted to the alcohol or tobac'
CO habit, and was an exemplary
young man in every respect. The
many friends he made during hi:
connection with the local baseball
team feel in his death the loss Of {
worthy friend.

Laurant PIeases and Mystifies
Large Audience

Eugene Laurant, magician, gave
patrons of the Peoples Lecture
Course, a thoroughly enjoyable eve
ning's entertainment at the Normal
school auditorium Monday, and one
that will long be remembered with
pleasure Besides his attendant, the
three lady musicians and the pianist.
Mr.. Laurant picked, in Masters Al
bert Baldwin, Berton Karges, La
sale Rork and Belmer Carisch. and
Miss Avery Ames, local corps of
assistants who added tons of pleas
ure to the performance. The ma
gician was truly wonderful in the
clever execution of his tricks, and
combined with his act a constant
monologue that united audience and
actor in bond of good natured fell
lowship that made the affair seem
more like house party than a pub
lie entertainment. The musical and
reading numbers during intermis-
sions in MIR. Laurant's performance
were also greatly appreciated.
''The Old Home Singers" a cor
cert company of five talented vocal
artists, furnish the next number OF
the Course, in a program of the
songs of yesteryear. They will be
here on Wednesday evening. Jan.
81, and reserved seats for this num-
Der will be on sale at TaggaGt''s com
mencing Saturday, Jan. 20.
Annoying Interruptions at last
M onday evenings performance
prompt the suggestion that provi-
sion be made so that doctors or 9TH
ers in the audience who might be
called out, may leave their seat mum
Der with someone at the door so that
instead Of by general announcement,
they could be summoned individual
ly by an usher, without disturbing
the audience and the performance
