good judgment in establishing your
home in our territory. The time is
coming when the most insistent erav-
ing of the thousands Of people Of the
United States will be for the owner

bend why the cost of living has risen.
This Worldwide shortage of food
products, and the inaccessibility Of the
three last crops of Russia (the worlds
biggest nation) really imposes from
every standpoint Of morality, an i'm
perative duty upon the Northwest
farmer to plant every acre this year
that he can plant well.
But this condition also opens to the
farmer opportunities unparalleled in
history. The entrance of the United
States into the war may hasten the
end. 1t still looks like war of attri-
ton But, whether or not the war ends
during the crop year of 1917, the
shortage and the general conditions
are such that the Northwest farmer
will, in 1917, predict, receive the big
gest price for food products ever paid
in this country.
We want the practical farmer we
have been bringing into our territory
to share in this price advance, and so
we reiterate, plant as many acres as
you can plant well this spring-but
even with the big prices in sight / beg
that you will not insult the good land
in 500 Territory, as well as your own
intelligence by hit-and-miss ,slip-shod
work never pays. l believe that the
potential value Of the 1917 crop on
every acre along the 500 Line in
North Dakota, especially where so
much fall blowing was done in 1916,
is worth on an average one-third the
price Of the land. So you should bend
every effort toward getting the best
seed. My observation in North Da-
kota drives me to the conclusion that
from five to ten million dollars worth
Of crop is lost in that state every year
because Of the planting of dead seed,
The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1917-04-19

smut-infected seed and shrunken seed
of weak vitality. Efficiency in produc-
ton this year should begin with the
preparedness of your land and your
seed.
In this connection, while going the
limit in the planting of small grain,
permit me to say that it is not neces-
sary to neglect your livestock inter
ests. Just so long as the farmers Of
Iowa insisted on The raising of small
grain to the exclusion Of real farming
stock raising was not per-
manent, nor did land rise in value. To-
day the egg crop of Iowo amounts to
twice the value of the states wheat
crop. A study of the economic condi-
tions in this country, and the fact that
population is totally out-running agri-
is coming into his own. Nevertheless,
the price you will undoubtedly receive
for your grain crop in 1917 is no cri-
terion Of what you may get in 1918.
We know that the war will end as
surely as a clock runs down. It may
end suddenly. For reasons stated, this
will not much affect the prices of 1917.
In the meantime, conditions would
nave TO De mOSI abnormal II all gram
crops did not strike lower level in
1918.
Regarding livestock, different condi-
lions prevail. You cannot place a hen
on setting Of eggs in the evening and
have spring chicken for breakfast in
the morning. Neither can the nations
beef, mutton, or even the hog supply
be replenished in season. So, re-
peat, do not neglect the livestock.
There is no part Of the continent
where livestock Of all kinds do better
than along the 500 Line.

WONDERFUL STUFF!
LIFT OUT YOUR CORNe
Apply few drops then lit sorns Or
caIIuses off with fingers
no pain.

No humbug! Any corn, whether hard,
soft or between the toes, win loosen
right up and lift out, without partSis
Of pain or soreness.
This drug is called freezons and h =
compound of ether discovered BY o.
einnati man.
Ask at any drug store for a ssAA
bottle of freezone, which will cost bat
trifle, but is sufficient to rid ores
feet of every corn or callus.
Put a few drops directly upon az1
tender, aching corn or callus. instantly
the soreness disappears and shortly NE
corn or callus will loosen and can be
lifted off with the fingers.
This drug freezone doesn't eat ont the
corns or calluses but shrivels them with
out even irritating the surrounding skin.
Just think No pain at all; no sore
ness or smarting when applying it Or
afterwards. If your druggist don't have
freezone have him order it for you.

They Are Free

If Mitchells were built in an ordi-
nary factory, such cars at our prices
would be impossible.
But John w. Bate built and equipped
this plant to build this one type eco
nomically. He has spent millions OF
dollars on efficiency methods, to cut
our factory cost in two.
This year our new body plant adds
another big saving. And that pays
for our added luxury.
It is this model plant, with its more
than 1000 up.to-date machines, which
gives you these extras free.
Our Biggest Extra
The extra features and the extra
beauty are the most conspicuous
attractions.
The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1917-04-19

Mitchells differ from other cars in
. hundred ways, particularly in these
respects:
81 unique features
a per cent added luxury
100 per cent over-strength.
These extra attractions are due to
John w. Bate, our famous efficiency
expert. They are his additions, paid
for by savings which his factory
methods create.
Come see how much these extras
add to car you buy to keep.
Cost Us $4,OOO,OOO
Most cars omit these extras be-
cause of the added cost. The cost
to US, on this years output, is about
$4,0O0,000.
On Mitchells we save this by fac
tory EMERGENCY. ANA we Spenu II on
extra values.
Take our power tire pump, for in
stance. Everybody wants that. So
with our reversible headlights, our
dashboard engine primer, our ball.
bearing steering gear.
So with our never-broken canti-
lever springs. So with our ton
neau light, our locked compartment,
our handles for entering. So with
our added luxury and our over
strength.
Every extra in the Mitchell is some
thing that you want.

See the 81 Features
Other Cars Omit

But the greatest, in the long run.
is our 100 per cent over.strength. In
the past three years, John w. Bate
has doubled our margins of safety.
Every vital part now has twice the
needed strength.
Over 40 parts are built of tough
ened steel. All safety parts are over
size. We use wealth of Chrome.
Vanadium.
Several Mitchells have already run
over 100000 miles each. In two
years not one Bate cantilever spring
has broken. Those are some results
of this over-strength.
Now an $3.50 Size
And now we have two sizes
Mitchell and Mitchell Junior. Both
are Skies, both are roomy and power
full. Even the smaller car has 120-
inch wheelbase.
You have never seen such values
in fine cars. You have never seen
cars so equipped. You have never
seen, in the Mitchell class, such finish,
such beauty, such luxury. You have
never seen, at Mitchell prices, such
vast over-strength.
Come and confirm these facts.
Come now, because there is bound
to be a shortage. In spring, the
Mitchells are always oversold.

kin County ought to have an or
ganization of at least 1000 men,
woman, boys and girls. We
ought to have more. There isn't
