gone to the trenches it was up to her to know the mechanical side of a motor car or else let it stand idle.
 Until recently a motor car was sold to a woman because it was painted a pretty baby blue, with flowery upholstery and brass trim mings. The engine or the perform ance of the car was not given a thought. Now that the war has made us more serious thinking people we demand more durable things. Yet the motor car must measure up to the modern standard"
 With this in view the Mitchell Mo- tors company, studied over 200 late designs. As a result each Mitchell model is a master piece of art. The favorite Mitchell design among wo- men this year are the convertible models, like the Coupe and Sedan. They come in both Mitchell sixes. The roomy 7-passenger six with the 4S-horsepower motor and the Mitch ell Junior, a or passenger six, on similar lines. with a 40-horsepower motor.

Special Note Accorded 20
 Page Edition

Indicative of the wide spreading re- suits attending the publication in The Arizona Republican of a special sec tion for Babbitt- Poison company, is the editorial mention accorded the edi- tion by the Detroit News. a newspaper published in the heart of the automobile industry. Returns from such far re- moved points are especially gratifying to Manager w. E. Gardner, of the Bab- bitt-Polson company. Following is the article:
 "The Babbitt- Poison Co., of Phoenix, Ariz., recently produced 20-page section in the Arizona Re- publican, devoted to their organi- zation. H. c. Bradfield, of the King, special section fiend," ack- nowledges that this is the largest ever. The company handles the Pierce Arrow, Jordan, Buick, Stutz, Marmon, Hupmobile, Chandler, GMC trucks, Troy trailers, Cleve- land tractors, Goodrich tires and many accessories. The section fol- lowed the special section of the Leach Motor Car Co.,, Los Angeles, in the same newspaper. The King

GRANT JONES TELLS GROWERS THAT THERE
 |S ENOUGH PIMA SEED FUR 8O,O0O ACRES
Pima Seed Must Be Reserved Through Tempe Exchange Once to Secure Equitable Distribution and Price at Present is SIS; Pledges of Membership in New State
 Wide Cotton Organization Presented, Freely Signed

Cotton growers held a most inn portant meeting yesterday afternoon at which the particularly important feature was a discussion of the dis tribution of Pima cotton seed for next season. c. Grant Jones, presi- dent of the Tempe Cotton exchange, was the principal speaker, explaining how the cotton and seed could be secured for next year. Incidentally he reported that there is about enough Pima cotton seed in this years crop to seed S0,000 acres an- other season.
 Seed may now be reserved through the Tempe Cotton exchange. The present price is SIS a ton. Reserva- tions should be made without delay so that an equitable distribution of this valuable seed may be secured.
 The plan is not to allow any of the Pima seed to go from the valley as there is scarcely enough for all who desire it, according to present estimates. These estimates also in- dicate that it is the intention to plant practically no cotton in this valley another year save that of the Pima long staple variety.
 MT. Jones is the governments 5 special agent appointed to handle this distribution of cotton and his remarks were, therefore, authoritative.
 The cotton meeting, which was well attended, was held in the Water Users association building and during the course of the meet ing pledges for the support of the newly formed Arizona Cotton Crow CTS association-the old valley or ganiZation under a new name and with broader scope---were circulated These pledges are for the purpose of continuing the work of bringing into this state cotton pickers, a work which was particularly successfully carried out this year.

ARIZONA BETTER BAB|ES THROW DOWN ID
 AL WORLD CHALLENGE IF SUPERIORITY
Edna Christina Lindstrom,
 First of Series Is Gold
 Medal Winner at Fair and Fair-haired Daughter Also

Nowhere in Arizona are there par ents more proud than are MT. and Mrs Ole R. Lindstrom of 615 North Third street, Phoenix. And they are justly proud for their only child, Edna Christina, has been declared of ficially the very best of all of Arizo- mas Better Babies. In the recent Better Babies contest at the state fair she more nearly approached the 100 per cent mark than did any of her 175 competitors for honors, them selves the best in their classes to be found in the state.
 The babies entered in the exhibit were grouped and judged in four classes-city boys, city girls, country boys and country girls-and honors were awarded in each class. The Lindstrom baby received higher score than any of the others, regard less of sex or surroundings. She won the sweepstakes and for one year at least can justly claim the title of the Best Baby in Arizona. In recog- hilton of her high place in Babyland Edna Christina has been presented with @ gold medal, beautiful and ap- propriate in design, by the Arizona Congress of Mothers, which for sev- eral years has planned and conducted at the state fair a Better Babies ex- hibit along the lines suggested and standardized by the Better Babies bu- reau of the Womans Home Com panion.
 At the time of her birth, ten months ago, the gold medal baby weighed S1s pounds and was strong. From birth she has been breastfed, being now fed civ ,ha cla alone in a room one window of which is kept open. Her present weight is 23 pounds her height 291a inches, and in all measurements she is perfect with the single exception of the di ameter of the chest ant-posterior, which differs but a trifle from the standard measurement. This, and a slight temporary chapping of the skin of the cheeks caused the baby's only loss in percentage, one-half of one per cent being deducted in each case, plac- ing her score at 99.
 Entrants were submitted to five tests-mental and developmental, measurements, physical examination, oral and dental examination, and eye, ear, nose and throat. These tests were conducted by specialists in their re- spective lines. The Lindstrom baby received a perfect score in all tests save for the exceptions previously mentioned.
 The near approach made by the Bindstrom child to the standard of the ! perfect baby is remarkable. Although Arizona children are notably healthy and robust, neither medical men nor parents expected so high grade to be attained, and when the trifling nature of the defects noted are considered I.the result speaks even more highly for the winner and almost convinces one that in this instance facts speak louder than figures and that she is really more nearly a 100 per cent baby than her score makes her appear.
 Edna Christina is an unusually pret- | ty child. Her bright eyes are keenly

If you don't think it pays to own a car that is staunchly construct ed, ask Babe Ruth, the Star Southpaw of the Boston Americans says w. L. Kissel of the Kissel Kar
 Recently while driving home in a Kissel Kar, Babe" accidently de- railed the front trucks of a heavy semi convertible street car that got in his way. A million fans breathed a sigh of relief when they learned Babe" and his precious left wing had not been touched.

The pledge, which also accepts membership in the association, reads:
 For and in consideration of the services rendered and to be rendered by the Arizona Cotton Growers as- sociation in securing and bringing In labor for the purpose of growing and harvesting the cotton crop for the season of 1918. I do hereby agree to pay the association the sum of s2 for each and every 50O-pound bale of lint cotton harvested by me during the season of 1918. Any gin where my cotton is ginned is hereby authorized to collect this amount and pay to the order of said association"

observant, she is remarkably active and possesses a sweet disposition which, could it be similarly judged, would win for her another gold medal.
 Ole Lindstrom, father of the prize winner is 31 years of age and is em- ployed' in the local postoffice as carrier in the parcel post division. He is a native of Minnesota. Mrs. Lindstrom who is 21, was born in New Mexico but came to Arizona at the age of two years. She was formerly Miss Chris tine Elliott Both of the parents long have made their home in Phoenix and have many friends throughout the valley.

INFLUENCE
IS
Speaker at First Christian Church
Delivered Address on Wa and
Mysticism Last
Niqb4.

Rev. Geo. A. Campbell Of Hannibal,
Missouri, spoke last evening at the
First Christian church On War and
Mysticism
In the opening prayer, Rev. Mr..
Campbell referred to the fact that this
was the anniversary of Christs crucl-
txion and that on this anniversary
our country was for the first time in
the history of a hundred years at war
with one Of the great empires Of the
world He prayed that on: cf this war
might emerge a new era, a new view
Of humanity, a new view OF what
constitutes national greatness, and
that while the struggle might be pro-
longed and many perils confront US, 1t
was a time for searching our hearts
individually as we'll as nationally, in
the spirit Of secrihce for the cause OF
; mankind
! In speaking on his subject. the
/ speaker said, This war is going TO
! have a great Influence on religion, in
fluencing religious thought, no one
can tell how far 1t will carry. We have
been living in 2 mete-iatst:c aSs We
have in a measure wandered far from
God. Our own lives have been all suf-
tctent. Our inventions nave been for
the purpose of securing greater ease,
! greater pleasures and material pros
perity.
But the soldiers must stand face to
face with death. He is away from the
! church. his creed and his books can
not bring him solace. He thinks
about eternity as before. All
he has is God
LAS a result of this condition, there
is a new soul union with God. 1t is not
obedience TO commands or artificial
symbols. but the only solace is the
certainty Of soul union with God.
The soldier is a mystic whose GER
tainty OF God is absolute, no science
or criticism can destroy this belief.
Il have subscribed TO a number OF
European journals for the purpose OF
studying the influence of. the European
war upon religion. There is a mar.
=eious Development and change tax
ling place in Europe. They are be-
ginning to realize that the life of God
Ia a great reservoir which pushes its
way into every soul where there IS
and open heart to receive it. The soul
develops like the body develops and
Its growth is greatest during hours OF
quiet.
st. Francis had to be alone in or
der to receive great soul Development.
Paul cultivated his soul By three years
exile in Arabia. So in the quiet OF the
trench and guard. when h soldier
stands face to face with death hourly.
and having no comfort or solace other
than God, life has a new meaning to
him"
Rev. Mr. Campbell returned on the
evening train &c his home at

local congregation. The local consre-
