A HINT TO AUTO BUYERS.

Dear Reader, are you planning to
treat yourself to new automobile
sometime within the coming year? If
SO accept hint or two, which, possi-
bly, had not occurred to you.
A worldwide war is in progress
with practically all the civilized ma
lions Of the earth involved. War is
inexpressibly destructive, regarded
from any and every point Of view. The
first and most terrible toll is human
life. The next is the destruction of the
worlds available supply Of iron, cop
per, tin, zinc and other necessary COM
modities. When foodstuffs are con-
sumed or destroyed they can be re-
placed and replenished indefinitely
from year to year as the farms yield
their bounty. But the minerals and
metals taken from the earth and de-
stroyed can never be renewed nor
made to grow again. When locOmo-
tive, an airship, a great steel battleship
or piece of machinery of any kind is
blown to smithereens the materials
used in construction are gone for the
Dalance or time. And right there lies
one of wars greatest extravagances,
perhaps the greatest. Supplies of this
kind are being drawn upon and de-
stroyed at such an alarming rate that
the thoughtful-minded may well worry
for the future.
Do you see the point? Then why not
make your plans to attend the state
fair, study the big automobile show
with its 1918 styles and models and
place your order for a new car while
prices are still fairly moderate. The
man who thinks he will be able to buy
an auto or any other piece Of machin-
cry, for that matter cheaper next
year than he can buy it now is making
wild guess, as he will discover if he
postpones the purchase.
The auto show at the state fair will
easily eclipse any event of the kind
yet seen in Iowa, and the new models
which will be on exhibition will not be
in evidence. at any auto show until
sometime in the spring of 1918. A
hint to the wise is generally sufficient.

American War Mission
Returns From Europe

After spending two weeks in Lon
on and two in France, Vance c. Nc
Cormick, chairman of the export
war board and a member of the
American mission to the interallied
war council, returned to Harris
burg last night convinced that the
mission was a great success, but not
feeling free to talk before the men,
bers of the mission see President
Wilson to-day. He did, however,
confirm Col. T.. NJ. Houses state
ment that peace had not been dis
cussed.
1t was an interesting coincidence
Mr.. Mccormick pointed out that
the London conferences were held
in the same room in which Great
Britain in 1875 declared war on her
American colinies. "France and
England" he declared, "have got
their backs into this war and the
United States must do likewise. The
allies are in this war to win, their
fighting spirit is extraordinary, and
it is up to America to get into the
fight with the same dogged spirit
of self sacrifice that will stop at
nothing until victory has been
achieved"
On neither the trip over or back
did the members of the mission see
any sign of a submarine, but they
were able to visit the front where
the bombs were bursting and the
flying machines lowering thickly.
