1t has required an enormous invest
ment in plant and equipment to
prepare for this enormous produc-
ton.
The prime requisite in the automobile
industry is still foresight and cour-
age.
Mr.. WHY'S foresees a demand this
year in excess of the possible
supply.
In addition to enormous investment
in plant and equipment Mr.. WHY'S
had the courage to contract long
ago for enormous quantities of raw
materials-$35, 100000 worth al
ready in hand for this years
record production.
See all this reflected in the values we
have to show you in the most
comprehensive line of cars ever
built by any one producer.
Note especially the remarkable values
represented in the Big Four at

MotorCars
Foresight and Courage

Automobile values as at present
established are largely due to the
foresight and courage of Mr.. John
n. WHY'S, the president of this
institution.
He foresaw the universal use of the
automobile and had the courage
to produce quality cars in larger
quantities than they had ever
before been produced.
Steadily increasing production made
possible savings and economies
which steadily reduced costs and
repeatedly established new values.
Eight years ago, with a net worth of
little more than $4,000 this COM
pany produced 465 cars.
This year, with a net worth of over
SOS, 100000 we must produce
over 100000 cars to fill our dealers
contracts.

ENTIRE FAILURE
OF CROPS IN GERMANY
Worst Year Country Has Ever Known
Is Prediction Made-Conditions
Worse Than Ever.

London, June 20.-Dispatches from
Amsterdam say that the Dutch news
paper, Ribe Stiftstidende, which
throughout the war has been we'll
informed on German matters, prints
an article on the crop outlook in Ger
many, predicting almost complete crop
failure.
The newspaper declares that the
yield this year will be far less than
Germany ever knew. 1t explains that
an unprecedentedly long drought in
Germany is continuing. The drought
has ruined the grass, and greatly re-
duced the possible yield of grains and
vegetables v en if normal conditions
prevailed.
But, the article says, conditions are
worse than " before because the
farming is conducted largely by wom-
en- and prisoners, and the blowing
shallow, and poorly done. CONNER
clal fertilizers are lacking entirely, and
the fertilizer proving worthless be-
cause the live stock was fed improp-
erly. The sowing, too, was late, part
ly because of the late spring, partly
because of the lack Of labor, and it
was badly done because of the unskill-
ed labor. In northern Prussia the SOW
ing has pot commenced. which is
equivalent to assurance that there
Will be almost no crop. In many
provinces the grass is entirely with
cred and the turnips, an important
vegetable, are devastated by weeds,
insects and drought.

Dispatches from Zurich state the

10000 Poles have been hanged by Or
der of the German authorities.
Deputy Striberny also described the
abominable treatment accorded polit-
ical suspects, whereupon the pan-Ger-
manist deputy, Heine, shouted: They
have not used the rope enough; all of
them ought to have been hanged"

At these words all of the Slav and
Polish members rushed upon Heine
and the president was obliged to sus.
pend the sitting in the midst of a
tremendous uproar.
