/. The interest Of the shippers.

and all employees. ~@'' '''
8. The proprietors, including the
shareholders. bondholders and general
financing.
4. The government (Which in Eu-
rope already has and in America will
come to have a military interest).
These various interests are diverse
and often in sharp opposition. The
shippers always want low rates and
care nothing about the other interests;
the shareholders look to dividends, the
employees want more wages and do not
worry themselves. about the other
points Of view; the government has
a many-sided interest, which may be
one thing today and quite another
thing tomorrow. It's main interest, of
course, is to represent the general pub
lie, from which all railroad revenue
must be derived. f
THE problem is to bring all these
factors together" said Mr. Thornton,
so that they will appreciate the differ
ent points of view. instead of. always
standing each for its own. My study
of the American problem has carried
me almost to the conviction that in

sees that no interest gets more than its
share" i
what about the general public in

government, and that ought to be ade-

81 Unique Features

There are also 81 extra features in
Mitchells. That is, features which
nearly all cars omit. Things like a
power tire pump, reversible head
lights, bal1-bearing steering gear and
never-broken springs
These extras alone, on this years
output, will cost over 81, COO, 900. But
all are paid for by these factory
savings.

Another step in Mitchell
efficiency appears in the new
Mitchell Junior. We urge you
to come and see it. '~,
A passenger car, to have
ample power and ample room,
can't be smaller than the $1460
Mitchell, which has won for
itself one of the envied places
in the motor world. But 40
horsepower is enough for a S.
passenger car. And a 120-inch
wheelbase gives room enough
more than most cars give.
) So the Mitchell factory this
year brings out Mitchell Junior.
Not a new type-simply a size
reduction. So a man who buys
a Mitchell can get the size he
wants. '"sss
Thousands of these new cars
have been run for months, on
every sort of road. And they
have proved themselves as per-
feet as the 7-passenger Mitchell
car itself.
See the New Extras
In both Mitchell models there
are hundreds of extra features.
They give you at least 20 per
cent extra value over any other
car in this class.
These extras-most of them
exclusive to Mitchells-are paid
for by factory savings. They
are the result of efficiency

methods. applied by John w.
Bate.
This great eficiencyengineer
built and equipped this whole
plant. Every method and ma
chine is adapted to producing
this Car economically. These
methods have cut our factory
cost in two. Nowhere else is
a car of this class built anywhere
near so low. assRsa
You will be amazed to see
how many extras these new
day methods pay for.
Double-Strong Parts
One result is the Mitchell standard
of 100 per cent over-strength. That
is, every vital part is twice as strong
as need be.
The Mitchell standard used to be
SO per cent over-strength. That itself
The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1917-03-15

was extreme. The Mitchell car has
always been marvel of endurance.
But, in the past two years, we have
doubled this standard to give you q
lifetime car. That fact is announced
for the first time in the models now
on show.
Over 40 parts are built of tough
ened steel. All parts which get major
strain are built of Chrome Vanadium,
and built oversize. We pay for steels
in the Mitchell as high as Is cents per
pound. -.

COWS Must Be Bred at This Time
in Large Numbers in Order to
Insure Adequate Meat Supply.

TO win the war we need more

supply quickly hog breeding must
be increased materially through

States an increase OF from 25 tC
30 per cent in the number Of hogs
is recommended by the United

The situation is OF great import
ance. We must have plenty OF
meat for our armies and the arm

sufficient meat for our. civilian
population and the civilian popul-
alton OF the allies at home.
TO have this meat, breeding ami
mails must reproduce themselves
so the offspring will be available
for slaughter in the future.
Hogs can be increased quicker
than any other kind of live stock
Therefore a larger number Of
sows must be bred now than in
recent years.
Feed Crops Are Abundant
In addition to the fact that there
is an imperative demand for
more meat as a war measure. ii
should be taken into consideration
that we now have an abundance
Of feed crops-corn, oats, and bar
ley-with which to produce this
necessary increase in the number
of hogs. The demand for meat
is certain. and it will be profitable

Colts can be housed satisfact-

ones are not driven away from

should be disinfected. Lice are
to lie suspected when the animals
get to rubbing and lose patches OF
hair. Thorough washing with the
proper solutions of coal-tar disin-
fectants will kill lice. 1t costs
money to feed lice, consequently
efforts should be made to keep
them down. The foals should be
out in the open every day that IS
not stormy; it is harmful, how
ever, for them to remain out in a
