TO RIVALS.
Other Clubs Developed Many
SOx and Giant Stars.
Without These, Both Would
Have Been Also Rams.
BY JACK VEIOCK.

New York, Sept 13.-Players de-
veloped by rival managers have been
largely responsible for the success of
the Giants and White Sox.
Without these players the two
worlds series aspirants would be
among the also rams, and they might
be wallowing in last place. With
them in the lineup the two pace-mak-
ers have the strongest combinations
in the majors today.
Look at the lineup of the Giants

ten men on McGraw's roster were de-
veloped elsewhere than New York
Several others were cut loose by Nc

how to develop players and is good
judge of youngsters, he hasn't been
responsible for the baseball talent that
has won him the National League pen
nant.
Heinie Zimmerman. the best third
baseman in the National League to-
day. is a product of the Cubs. Benny
Kauff, one of the best fielders in the
majors, graduated from the Federal
League and got his training under Bill

ayers.

stops in the game, and Uncle Wilbert
Robinson taught him how to be a
great catcher. Bill Rariden got his
big league training at Boston, and NC
Graw grabbed Bill from the outlaw
league.
Hans Lobert, veteran though he is,
can be classed as a valuable man to
have around, and Hans learned his
major league baseball at Cincinnati
and Philadelphia. Buck HerZog, twice
released by the Giants, was brought

The buyers of Mitchells, in large
part, have been men schooled in mech
anics. Or men advised by competent
engineers. We publish a list of ia
nous engineers who selected this car
for themselves.
Our purpose now is to impress on
laymen the superlative Mitchell quail
tiles. This year we more than double
our output, SO more men can be sup
piled. And we want more men to
learn why Mitchells have lately won
such multiplied prestige.
They offer you what no one else can
offer. One hours time will prove
that. The result will change your
whole conception of what a fine car
ought to give.
American Falls press. [volume] (American Falls, Idaho) 1907-1937, 1917-02-22
Now Also a SIPS Model Mitchell Junior
12O-Inch Wheelbase

Another new step which Mr.. Bate has taken is to build
a smaller Mitchell. And that is also for efficiency.
A man who wants a passenger car must have the
power to drive it under any hard condition. He ought to
have the larger Mitchell with its 48-horsepower motor.
But a man who wants a 5passenger car can use a 40
horsepower motor. He has ample room with a 120inch
wheelbase. We build for him the Mitchell Junior, so he
doesn't pay for room or power not needed. But he gets a
Six.
This is not a new type model. 1t is simply a smaller
edition of the much demanded passenger Mitchell. To
prove 1t out, before making this announcement, we put out
last year thousands of these cars. 1t is just as perfect as
the larger Mitchell.
So this year we offer two sizes and prices, plus eight
new styles of bodies.
UXURY
This year we shall save, through our new body plant,
hundreds of thousands of dollars. Here we now build
Mitchell bodies, open and enclosed. And under Bate eff
ficiency methods.
This saving all goes into added luxury. We have add
ed "A per cent to the cost of finish, upholstery and trim
ming.
This means heat-fxed finish coats on the entire body.
1t means a r~aregrade leather, a wider rear seat, better
cushion springs. 1t pays for a hundred final touches
which mean so much to women.
American Falls press. [volume] (American Falls, Idaho) 1907-1937, 1917-02-22
NOW 81 COSTLY EXTRAS

Last year the Mitchell offered &c distinct extra fea-
lures. This year it offers 81.
by these extras w mean things like a power tire
pump, reversible headlights, a new-type control, a ball
bearing steering gear, an extra-cost carburetor. Things
like a light In the tonneau, a locked compartment for val
tables, an engine primer at the drivers hand. Things
which usually cost an extra price.
On this years output it costs about 100000 to in
clude all these 81 extras. They would be impossible at
the Mitchell price without our factory savings.
American Falls press. [volume] (American Falls, Idaho) 1907-1937, 1917-02-22

AS a result, the latest Mitchell stands out as the hand
soonest car in its class.
American Falls press. [volume] (American Falls, Idaho) 1907-1937, 1917-02-22
SAFETY MARGIN DOUBLED

This means a doubled margin of
safety. 1t means a lifetime car, in
Mr.. Bates opinion. 1t means less
trouble, less repairs, less upkeep.
The Mitchell standard, up to lately
has been so per cent over-strength.
That seemed an extreme standard. 1t
gave the Mitchell its reputation for
endurance.
Seven Mitchell cars that we know
of, built under that standard, have
averaged $4,000 miles apiece-over
80 years of ordinary service. Two
have already been run over 100000
miles apiece.

NEW CONSIDERATIONS

These are new factors to consider in buying a high
grade car. 1t isn't price that counts so much as the value
you get for the money.
Here is where the Mitchell has tremendous advantage,
due to years of preparation under a master of efficiency
Every factory waste shows up in a car. 1t means
stinted value somewhere. The Mitchell factory economies
show up just as clearly in hundreds of added values.
See them and judge them for yourself. They show in
beauty, luxury and comfort. They show in road perfor-
mances. AS the years go by they will show in the won
drous durability.

Drafted Men and
 Patriotic Outburst

1T1HE first increment of drafted
 0 men will entrain tomorrow for various concentration camps. By the end of the week 200,0 soldiers-to- be will be learning the manual of arms and the very fact that the new na- tional army will be in the making will be signal for a fresh outburst of patriotism. President Wilson, riding at the head of the procession of drafts" in Washington, will be an impressive spectacle, and the scenes in New York and other cities where the quotas are large will thrill the public and fill citizens who love their country with genuine pride.
 Nearly 100000 drafted men will be we'll drilled before the end of the year. The cantonments are now ready for the rank and file.
 Uncle Sam takes good care of his soldiers. In other years there was a lack of preparedness, both in the matter of food and in camp sanita- tion. The result was higher death rate than should have been expected. In this, the greatest of all wars, the United States is well prepared. The quality of food will be of the best and every camp has been made per fectly sanitary.
 The German government has tried to make the German people believe that the Wilson administration was merely "bluffing" and that the ma jority of Americans were half-hearted about the war. The demonstrations of this week will make it plain to the enemy that America is profoundly in earnest.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-09-04
Campaign Against
 Wasting of Food

II T has been estimated by the United < States agricultural department that kitchen and table waste of food in this country amounted annually to something like $7O,O00,0OO Added to this was the waste in the fields and in the barns, bringing the total up to hundreds of millions of dollars. It is believed the campaign against wastefulness has had good results.
 There has been decided saving of food in the household The volume can only be guessed at, but in every section an appreciable saving is re- ported. And yet there is still room for improvement, especially in hotels, restaurants and boarding houses. The greatest waste, perhaps, has been in wheat bread, and next in meat. Por- tions of meat served are too large and as for bread the heartiest eater rarely ever cares for more than one slice-if the meal be one in which vegetables abound.
 If every caterer and the head of every family had mind to food econ omy, no one would be underfed. On the other hand, everybody would have sufficiency of food, and the health of the nation would be all the better for not overeating.
