Reports of steel shortage and
gloomy prophecies Of a serious Grip
ping Of the country's Industries
thereby are fatty denied by Harry
M. Jewett, president Of the Paige
Detroit Motor Car company.
"As q matter of hard cold facts
and figures" says Mr.. JeWett, st
has been easier the past six months
or year, for that matter, for us to
get steel than it was a year ago
when we were running at our larg-
est production of motor cars.
ANY of the steel Nails viii tell
you that, not only has the govern
ment plenty OF steel right now for
any government war program, but
there is a surplus Of steel more
than adequate TO take care of the
normal needs Of the country's COM
nlercial industries.
'All kinds of wild rurnors are
afloat these days. We have heard
stories of the Paige Detroit Motor
Car company combining with other
big companies to fill government
war contracts. But you can record
this ais an authoritative statement,
that the Paige company has not
been sold and will not enter into any
combination to manufacture any
products that the Paige is not nan-
ufaeturing now.

are il shown by the tremendous ad-

ditions the Paige Detroit Motor Car
company has recently made and is
still making to its already huge
plants and equipment. AS just one
itena-our floor space alone has
been practically doubled in the last
four months.
These expansions OF our manu-
featuring facilities are, OF course, to
take care of the diversified business
which the Paige Ii now doing. These
Paige plants, which now spread over
two city blocks, are no longer maxi
ing merely motor cars. OF course,
our first job is 10 get out this stu
pendous work for the government,
not merely on time, hut ahead Of
time and that is what we are do
ing, too, right along,
In volume, in dollars and cents,
the Paige business today is about
one hundred per cent larger than 1t
was when we were running our full
production schedule Of motor cars.
Now, with a full line of trucks in
production and tractors very near
the manufacturing stage, you can
see that every inch Of cur floor
space, every machine and every man
In the Paige employ is being utilized
to a very vital purpose.

MEN RETURNING
FROM HOSPITALS
TO FRONT RANKS
Chance Visitor Will Find
Lads Scheming To Avoid
Tiresome Routine

Washington, July 6.-The list of
casualties from the American Army
fighting in France is now being
balanced by returning convalescents,
whose numbers in the reconstruc-
ton centers like Walter Reed hospi-
tai here have reached an appreciate
total. ,-
It is an outstanding fact to all OBJ
servers that an American youth
smashed by a shell, bomb or hand
grenade is, notwithstanding, exact
iy the same kind of an Individual he
was before he went in. High spirit
ed. mischievous, all personal loss dis
counted and humanity anxious to re-
sumo any dull round Of civilian labor,
they have a tendency to regard the
carefully planned hospital school for
re-educating them to usefulness with
the same distaste that healthy youth
has for the training establishments,
however desirable he may know them
to be.
So a chance visitor to the hospital
expecting to discover a hero is apt to
find proportion of youths whose
clothes have been taken away from
their beds. They are likedy to be
calculating intelligently their chances
to shirk irksome routine. Whatever
adventure and torture they have liv-
ed is being forgotten while their
force and energy are entirely devot-
ted to the problem of today.
Not Depressed or Worried.
Yes, they are most healthy and
normal human beings, undapressed
and entirely unvborried about any
thing explained Major Cotton, one
of the chiefs of orthopedic surgery
at Walter Reed. I'VE find these are
not i'll people. Their mental and
physical vigor is most astonishing
to persons not familiar with the cir
cumstances."

military discipline and considerable
patience and persistence to work

The boys and girls go to the circus
because Of splendid physical health
and six months separation from
school routine. Their teachers are
furnished by the management.
When the big show comes here
the first thing that will be noted is
It's vast improvement. From its first
day Of existence it has grown rapidly
year by year, but never before has
it shown such progress as in the re-
cent years. livery large city in the
world the Hagenbeck-W Wallace Circus
maintains an office. In every jungle,
forest and everglade trappers are on
the constant hunt Thus novelties
are assured. It matters not what the
cost may be, anything that is cur
ious and interesting, and any per-
former whose methods are novel, are
secured at once.
The performance Of the Hagen
beck Wallace Circus this year is di-
vided into two departments; one is
the famous Hagenbeck's animal
show, where several hundred ami
mails perfom almost human stunts
There are educated elephants, three
herds Of them, seals, monkeys, lions,
leopards, royal Bengal tigers, ETC.,
etc. In the circus department there is
the Great Wallace Show, with its 400
artists, among the most famous OF
whom is Herr Won Ritter, who slides
down a slender wire on his head
form the summit of a lofty pole;
the Flying Wards, sensational aerial
lists; the Cevent' Sextette, who fox
trot on tight wire; Capt. Emil
Schewyer, the worlds bravest wild
animal trainer. and fifty clowns,

and Arthur Borella.
Performances will be given at 2
and p. m. Doors to the geological
paradise will be opened an hour ear
| lier. "A three-mile long street parade
will leave the show at 10 O'Clock.

Paris Green in
Warehouse Is
WaterDam1aged

The Moorhead Hardware company
can make no estimate OF the loss
on the paris green stored in the w.
Fl. Davy Warehouse damaged by fire
on Thursday. The company had s12,-
900 worth of the bug poison stored
in the building. part of 1t in cans
and part in kegs. AS it is used in
dry sprayers water would cause -
to become lumpy and destroy 39Gs
value. P. II. Peterson. president of

chinerv stored in the building, and
this was also damaged by the fire.

I was cutting loose with tiny automa-
tic and hand grenades. We got two,
and one Of my own grenades got
me-"
Becker explained the suspicion he
had about hand grenades, which is
shared by all soldiers in their first
meetings with that deadly weapon.
Yah. they tell you 1t is tirnid for
seconds" he announced acornfully,
and then one goes off in three sec
onds, and the next goes off in seven

A Military Failure.
, Sergeant Paul Chamberlain, %
years old and with six years mill
tary service behind him, had a new
theory.
'I'm a military failure" he an
nounced, after it was explained that
a shrapnel shell had taken away a
good section, Of one foot. "a fellow
with my experience could have step
ped right along, promotion and all,
but Fritz picked me OF too quick.
Nothing heroic about 1t, we'd been in
going out at dawn on March when
they tagged me. There's q. bunch Of
scrap iron In these busch shells, and
it got me. .r.
Still, maybe TIL be an instructor or
something with the army yet awhile.
Down here. I'm studying poultry
raising" t..-
One soldier, mimic, broke up the
discussion by re-enacting the scenes
IN the base hospital wards, when
English visitors demanded incessant-
ly, my word, are you really a
Yank?t'
Thus, the one grimness about wal
ter Reed hospital. where 1,100 pa
tients now are housed is the head
quarters map which often adds many
red lines on a blueprint to show ex-
tensions building, and more yellow
lines to show extensions planned. It
does not extend to the wounded who
are back from lover there.
They won't let it while they have a
joke left.

ENLIST YOUR DOLLARS FOR THE
PERIOD OF THE WAR.
BY w. G. MeAdoo.

Again the American people have the

purpose of making the lives and lib
critics Of every American safe, and OF
securing the lives and liberties of the
gallant nations which fight with us.
Those bonds bear Az interest,
they are exempt from all Federal,
State and local taxation, except the
Federal super.income taxes and in.
heritance taxes. They are due ten
years after their date. They are the
safest investment in the world and
they bear q rate Of interest adequately
and generously remunerative. The
money derived from these bonds will
be used to supply our soldiers and
sailors with the food clothing, guns,
ammunition and other essentials
which they must have II they are to
win this war; to pay the wages OF
labor Of those who are engaged in
manufacturing these essential sup.
plies to pay for the raw materials
and the farm products and the count
less other things that enter into the
war program of great nation.
We must not, We cannot consider
the purchase of Government bonds as
a purely commercial or business trans
action. War is not business, although

To lend ones money on safe secur
