AMERICAN FLAG
 WITH EVERY COLE

An American flag with every car is the latest patriotic step taken by the Cole Motor Car company Every car that leaves the Hoosier plant has the national emblem in prominent place on the windshield and thousands c1 these banners have been sent to Co.e distributors and dealers in every city in the country so that every owner of a Cole may procure one for the asking. The windshield emblems show the American flag unfurled to the breeze. They may be pasted 70 the glass and are visitle either from within or outside of the car.
 Recently the Cole company adopt ed the American flag blue as the stan- dard color of it's all-season Spring field models. The color reproduces exactly that shade of blue that, a"- cording to records, constituted ths field behind the stars in the original flag made by Betsy Ross during the republics infancy. The work of th.~ Cole Motor Car company in inspiring patriotism among motorists has been the object of favorable comment ev- eryWlere

The movement to increase the pro- duction of food, and some of the dec larations made in the campaign nov being carried on. have been erron- eously interpreted by some people, who are acting as though there was imminent danger of famine. And this is not the case.
 The agitation for the production of more food and feed crops is in ths nature of precautionary move to place the United States in better position to assist the entente allies by supplying them with ample sup plies without causing enconvenieno , to our own population.
 Just now there are ample supplies of food in the United States to pro vide all with sufficient to eat. Prices of some commodities are high-due to curtailed production in some in- stances and to food spectators in others.
 The recent rise in the price of su- gar here was purely local cond ti0n, precipitated by the people themselves. Freight congestion tied up shipments on the way to whole sale houses; the supply became low, the people became frightened and vied with each other in laying in a larger supply than usual, and this demand with consequent increase in prices. There is plenty of sugar in the country and there is no imme- diate prospect of a shortage Of course, if every family tries to lay in supply for one or two years that would create shortage on the mar ket, but still there would be no ac- tual shortage.
 There is no need for panic over the outlook. The chances are that peo pie will eat just as much hereafter as they have in the past, and prices are not likely to go so much higher unless the people themselves force them up by buying in unusually largc quantities.
 The purpose to have the south pro duce more of its needs in food an feed is one that might have beer taken up at any time in the past wit, bene.... The south's one-crop sys tem has not made for prosperity, al though we have handled plenty o money.
 With the south producing the thing it has purchased in the past-some thing it can do cheaper and bette

SWEDISH WAR BABIES.

Stockholm, Sweden, April 19.-Of all the "war babies" in Sweden-and there are good many of all kinds the fattest continue to be the ship pin companies. The earnings of some compare very favorably with the best that America has to show in the line of industries fostered by the war. One shipping company, with a capital of 125,000 crowns, has de- clared two dividends of 100 per cent each, and still another hundred in the form of one free share of stock for every old one. It's earnings for 1916 were 757,000 crowns, against 194,5OO in 1915. Other shipping companies cent

WAR AND LITERATURE.

In 1915 there were 9,734 books pub lished in the United States; last year we published 1O,445 books. War, therefore, has not affected our liter ary a:.ectitcs; and the high cost of paper has VI no way discouraged the publishers, who in many cases took 10 using cheaper grades.
 Tho literary output of the Euro rcan nations, of course, suffered greatly in 1916, lon account of the war"
 The question is, will we be partici- pating in the Melochian adventure to such an extent this year that our literary production will go the way of the craft in Europe?
 Of course, there are some of us who from literary standpoint are such inborn pessimists that we inn mediately conclude that a decreased literary production won't harm the nation, nor will such decrease be mo- ticeable in the shuffle of events. Yet there are millions of others who do a deal more reading who form 8 constant market for the book trade, and these arc not inclined to be @ pessimistic as to disregard the non production of the best sellers and the near-beSt.
