MITCHELL HUME
 TOWN 10O OVER |bOND ALLOTMENT

On top of the news that Racine, Wis, home Of the Mitchell Motors company, Inc. has oversubscribed its Liberty loan quota by more than 100 per cent, word comes that the city has made an enViable record in its com oined subscriptions to all war relief funds in what is known as the Racine county plan.
 Under this plan all subscriptions Tor the various relief movements are pooled in general fund from which pro-rata disbursements are made. Every wage earner deVoteS the earn ings of one-half hour week to this fund for the duration of the war. Salaried workers subscribe percent age of their earnings, depending on the amount earned. Employers likewise subscribe amounts depending upon the subscription of their employees.
 In commenting on the results of the Racine county plaO at the Mitchell plant President D. c. Durland said
 MT. DurIand Pleased
 Tt is matter of intense gratifica- tion to know that every single employe his full quota under the Racine county plan. Of the thousands of people in our employ, not one-man, woman or hOS Id4lcu CueeIluliE VI ieCuiH LlS subscription card with his pledge to support all relief work through this plan for the duration of the war;
 This unity of thought and action on the part of all employees of so large reorganization as the Mitchell Mo- tors company, Inc, indicates an or ganization spirit which is invaluable. The produce can never be better than the organization behind it, and this action reflects the quality of our peo- pie and of the motor cars they build. The company's share in the sub scription is not a small one. It is worth making in any case, but we are especially glad to make it in co-opera- tion with our employees in this way be- | cause the campaign has brought us and will hold us in closer harmony and 1 o-partnership than ever before.'

 Each different model was given a playing card designation, and each sale dealt a salesman player a card sale of a Willys- Knight limousine for instance. gave the player an ace" the light four Overland tour ing car, the lowest priced car in the list, counting a deuce" Five sales full hand, was necessary before Q player could "sit in."

 You said:-'That will hurt my business-the motor car business.
 Tt did not strike you-or anyone that railroad and motor car are simply convertible terms.
 Both Spell Transnor+ation
 They both spell exactly the same word.
 And that word is transportation.
 Transportation is the one. thing all business must have.
 This fact is dawning upon the na- ton with full force.
 War threw an obstacle into tn, business stream by pre- -empting rail road transportation.
 The stream choled and gathered volume for a little while-and thel found q new channel in the mott. car.
 Transportation will never again be thought of solely in terms of steam steel rails, water and electricity.
 Transportation already means-al these things plus gasoline and rub Der tires.
 Railroad transportation thanks to our own follies-cannot catch up with it's burden for ten years tc come.
 But the business stream cannot and will not be choked--it will flow around that obstacle into the new channel of gasoline and rubber tires
 Not only is the motor car in dustry itself not endangered-but it is to be one of the means by whicI all business is to be rescued from danger
 Mems minds, eyes, and above all, their imperative business and socia needs, are turning irresistibly and with a new and immensely increased interest, to the thing you sell. Many Take to Road Never since the motor car came in all probability, have so many peo pie taken to the road for thousand reasons, as will this spring and sum mer.
 "No relief for a million pressing private, personal, public and business needs, can be looked for in any con- siderable increase of railroad facili- l ties.
 Business must find not merely an other temporary outlet, but a per manent new channel. And that permanent new channe l Is the motor car.

BUSINESS MUST TAKE TOROAD
 WITH MOTOR CARS TO GET BY

Transportation is the one thing business must have and will find. Ii business must have transportation, then business must take to the road with motor cars"
 The second sentence in the fore going is Theodore F. MacManus' sum ming up of the situation in a mes sage just issued by Dodge Brothers tU their dealer organization.
 The message is a clear-cut analysis of events of the past year, since the United states began to prepare for it's part in the war. It dwells briefly on the condition which seemed for a time Co threaten the motor car, and then proceeds to show how that con- ditiou actually worked to the benefit of the industry by opening for it new and almost unlimited fields. It says in part:
 something big and strange is hap poning to tho motor car business.
 "It is SO big that the full fruits of it will not be apparent for years to come.
 But the process has begun, and is going on, right under our eyes at ths moment.
 "A few months ago there arose cat of the war d condition that threat cned to cramp and cripple the mosr car business.
 "That very threat has now beer transformed into Q new and tTe- mendous impetus to the industry.
 Like Swift Stream
 "All business, by the way, is like a swiftly flow stream.
 Put an obstacle in its path and II win promptly flow over sround, oI under it.
 Choke up an old channel of com nunication and it win immediately seek and find new ch~~~ois.
 This does not merely mean tina, movement is necessary to business.
 Tt means that business is move ment..
 Transportation is the one tbins business must have and will find.
 Now ask yourself quickly-what is the motor car business
 Why, transportation, of course.
 In other words, the motor Cal business IS the one thing which al business must have and will find

OPERATING
 COSTS CONSIDERED

"The mails have brought repeated inquiries asking further information about the statement made in 8 recent Liberty advertisement that the un- usual economy of Liberty operation and upkeep is the result of light weight, plus scientific balance, plus concentrated strength, says J. E. Fields, director Of sales of the Li- berty Motor Car company.
 Any Liberty dealer can promptly explain what these three terms sig nifty, and their importance to car owners.
 "The Liberty is q car of modest weight and size, because it is built to conform to the wishes of those own CTS who do not want to pay the maintenance cost of car Of 1m- moderate weight, and who, still de- sire unquestioned quality. As an ex- ample of how the weight Of the Ll- berty is diminished the crank case IS of aluminium instead Of the ordinary east -iron construction.
 More Horsepower Shown
 "Thus the motor is permitted to deliver more horsepower per pound weight. The consumption of gasoline and oil and the wear on tires is ma terially lessened. The original cost is greater, of course, but this cost is saved the owner many times over in reduced operating expense.
 scientific balance ,as exemplified n the Liberty, prevents an undue burden being imposed on any part. It results in the sparing of motor. chassis and tires. A perceptible ef- feet is the comfort afforded the car occupants. One person or three may ride in the rear seat of the Liberty with equal enjoyment.
 Liberty construction aims to achieve strength through quality rather than mere bulk. While all parts are considerably stronger than even a liberal margin of safety would approve strength Is concentrated at hose points where the service IS most severe. Consequently, worn part is rarity in a Liberty car and he cost of upkeep is usually insig- nificant."

on its front page yesterday an account
of visitation which caused a call for
the police to be sent from the home of

sentence. "No nation will long endure,
