Must Not Skimp

To build an extra-hne car the maker
must not skimp. He must have a
margin to work on.
Mr.. Bate secured that margin by
cutting factory cost He built and
equipped this model plant, just for
this single type. By utter efficiency
he cut factory cost in two. On this
year output, his methods will save
us about 4 100000.
1t is that 81, 900 900 which pays for
Mitchell extras. For the 81 extra
features, for the "a per cent added
luxury, for the 100 per cent over
strength.

John W. Bates Idea
OF What You Want In Lifetime Car
Come see the MitcheIs in both Sizes See the extra
features, the matCheSS luxury, the vast over-strengh

used to give 0per cent over-strength.
We now give 100 per cent in every
vital part.
Over 440 parts are built OF tough
ened steel. All safety parts are vastly
oversize. Driving and steering parts
are built of Chrome -Vanadium. q
' This means some added weight.
1t means much added cost. But it
means to you lifetime car. We have
proved that Mitchell cars can render
100000 miles of service.
We applied this standard two years
ago to Bate cantilever springs. Since
then, not a single spring has broken.
Not leaf of one.

Z q amount, roughly, to 265000
officers and men, made up of
10000 regulars and 10000 national
guardsmen. including both those still
in the federal service and those under
state control.
The exact figures are known only to
the war department at Washington,
but recent reports give close idea of
what the organizations represent in
fighting strength.
In his last annual report Secretary
Of War Baker stated that the actual
strength of the regular army on June
30, 1916, including the Philippine
scouts, was 1O7,6l1 officers and men.
In the year beginning July l last. by
the national defense act of June 3,
1916, the army was to be increased to
l3S,S97 officers and men, divided as
follows:
infantry, 50 ments................. 81 224
Cavalry, II regiments. II 357

MISCELLANEOUS Observation-Disclosures. Il, S51
Total enlisted strength Including
medical Department. ..............1 3S, 1877
Exceptional difficulties have been
found in carrying out this program for
increasing the army. On account of
the remarkable industrial activity of
the country, recruiting is and has been
since the increase was authorized at a
very low ebb. 1t is therefore probable
that the estimate of $4,000 as the
strength Of the regular army errs on
the side Of optimism, and $4,000 may
be closer the true figure.
National Guard.
The strength Of the national guard
in federal service ON Sept. 80 last was

rant, because search of private
premises can only be made on a
search warrant and search warrant
can only be issued FOR the recovery
of stolen property. Hence it would
not be possible even to swear out a
search warrant to recover stolen liq-
uor, since liquor is nor property and
therefore cannot be stolen.
Since liquor is not property and
cannot be stolen, it therefore follows
that the man who steals another's
liquor commits no theft, because he
takes something in which the owner
has no property right or protection.
Of course he violates the law to have
it in his possession, but if he steals
it and takes it home, and if no search
warrant can be issued to uncover the
said stolen liquor, then he's reason
ably safe after all

quainted as to the methods used in

present expressed themselves on the
subject of location, Mr.. Roberts, con-

Mcbride, agricultural agent of this
progressive railroad Mr.. Kuss, COM
mercial agent of the A. c. L. and Mr..

the C. of Ga, favoring Fitzgerald in
their remarks and w. B. Smith, to-
bacco agent for the G.. and F.. located
at Douglas, making plea for his city,
stating that his city had already rails
ed the necessary funds, advertised for
charter and were ready to begin op-
erations
Mr.. N. F. Mashburn. marketing
agent for the A. B. and A., stated that
as his department intended to enter
the business of buying and storing
sweet potatoes for the market the
same warehouse facilities could ad-
vantageously be used for both pur-
poses, as they would open new ave-
nues of trade for Our farmers and not
conflict with each other, either in
seasons or in other ways.
Mr. ]. z. Turner. of the Exchange
National, representing the business
interests of the city made plea for
Fitzgerald as did also Secretary Geld
ers. of the Chamber of Commerce,
incidentally representing the Central
Route
1t became apparent that the feast
bility of two warehouses at this time
being doubtful, no definite action was
agreed upon, but the same left for
future development.
