chill for efforts to keep boys
under draft age in high school
and college during the war.
The chaplain is splendid man
and is to be pardoned for his
enthusiasm. Nevertheless he
is wrong and Governor Witty
cOmbe is right on this subject.
There are 100000 men of
conscription age subject to
military duty at present. 1t is
over 10 times as many men as
the country is prepared to take.
Then why should BOYS under
age be impl0red to join the col
ors so hastily when by attend

ing school they can better fiji
themselves for service when
really needed.
However, it is not necessary
for people to take the advice
of our governor. our state su-
perintendent or of the East
Oregonian on this point. The
President himself has given
specific suggestions as to this
very subject. In a letter writ
ten July 20 to Secretary Lane
of the interior department the
President says:
The White House.
Washington. July 90, 1911.
Hon. Franklin X Lane, Secretary of
the Interior.
Ny Dear Mr. Secretary: The ques-
tion which YOU have brought to my
attention is of the very greatest mo-
ment II would. as you suggest Sc
riously impair Americas prospects of
success in this war IL the supply of
highly trained men We're unnecessar-
lily diminished. There will be need
for a larger number of persons ex-
pert in the various fields of applied
science than ever before Such per
sons will he needed both during the
war and after its close. 1 therefore
have no hesitation in urging colleges
and technical schools to endeavor to
maintain their courses as far as pos
sible on the usual basis There will
be many young men from these insti-
tutions who will serve in the armeo
forces of the country. Those who fall
below the age of selective conscrip-
ton and who do not enlist may feel
that by pursuing their courses with
earnestness and diligence they also
are preparing themselves for valu-
able service to the nation. would
urge upon the young
people who are leaving our high
schools that as many of them as can
do so avail themselves this year of
the opportunities offered by the col
eges and technical schools. to the
end that the country may not lack
an adequate supply or trained men
and women.
Cordially and sincerely yours.

Since he is the commander

from President Wilson may be
considered as final upon the
subject. The best thing a boy

that no other community can in any
sense duplicate what is annually done
at the Pendleton Roundup. The PEN
dieton people are right in that con
tention; every time An imitation
Roundup is presented to the public,
a failure is recorded because the one
great difference between the two is
that no commercialized feature of any
sort is permitted in connection with
the Pendleton show. No one makes
any money out of it; every cent taken
in at the gate is paid back to the COM
munitN and such a show, where those
directing it receive no salaries and
pay as they enter, the same as the
stranger. can not be duplicated else
where. because the spirit governing
the original is absent from the imita-

THE RIGHT SPIRIT

~ NE of the men having the
VI draft number 258, the
first to be drawn last
Friday, was Samuel Sanjines, a
Spaniard living at New Or
leans. He is not an American
citizen. having never taken out
naturalization papers, but he
will claim no exemption on that
score. He has sent the follow
ing to Secretary Baker:
You drew my number first. and al
though i am not an American citizen.
but Spaniard, and have never ap-
piled for naturalization papers, to be
the first one drawn consider such
an honor that beg to offer my SER
vices to fight the war for freedom ami
democracy thrust on this great ma
zion.
When such loyalty as this
can be shown by a foreigner
who is under no obligations to
fight for Uncle Sam is it not an
objective lesson to native born
citizens to face the draft with
good grace?

Increase 1900

There are 10000 Bate
built Mitchells running.
So 10000 owners, scatter
ed all the world over, are
voicing opinions on this
unusual car.
AS a result, Mitchell
sales last year nearly
doubled any previous rec
ord. And this fiscal
years sales, for the first
six months, increased $50
per cent over last year.
But the ideal Mitchell
which we aimed at has but
lately been completed. 1t
has been a slow evolution
the final result of 700
improvements.
1t has taken three years
for instance, to double our
margins of safety. This
year, for the first time,
we are able to announce
our 100 per cent over
strength.
It has taken years to
develop-to build and
equip-this modern effi-
cheney plant. This year,
for the first time, we oc-
cupy our model body
plant.
So the Mitchell of to-
day, with it's countless
uH--HrTT D....o,.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1917-07-28

distinctions, is just be-
coming known.
The Mitchell Appeal
The Mitchell offers at
least 20 per cent extra
value, because of our fac
tory economies. Millions
have been spent to reduce
factory cost on this car.
1t offers a lifetime car,
because of vast over
strength. Our tests and
standards are now based
on twice the usual mar
oins of safety. And two
Mitchellsl that we know
of have already run over
100000 miles each.
1t offers 81 features
like a power tire pump
which nearly all cars
omit.
1t offers shock absorb
ing springs which have
never yet been broken.
And which make the Nit
chell the most comfort
able car ever known.
It offers exclusive body
styles. designed and built
by Mitchell experts. And
combining all the attrac-
tions found in 257 show
models.
1t offers beauty and
luxury in rare extreme.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1917-07-28
THE TREND OF TO-DAY
is TOWARD MITCHELLS

In the past year alone we
have added "a per cent to
the luxury cost of this car.
1t offers two sizes, so
no one needs to pay for
room or power not want
ed.
The Mitchell Idea
The basic idea in the
modern Mitchell was to
eliminate factory waste.
To build the whole car in
a single plant at a mini
mized labor cost. The re-
suit has been to cut our
factory cost in two.
Then to spend part of
that saving to build an ex-
tra-grade car. On a car
of double endurance. On
a uniquely complete car.
On a car OF unusual beau
ty.
You will. see the final
result in the Mitchell to-
day. Examine it well,
and' put it to the test.
Compare it point by point
including price-with
other like-class cars.
See the list of the great
engineers who selected
this car for their own use.
Do that for your own
sake before choosing a
fine car. It may save you
many years of regret.
