Our Joe Miller Contest.

Bob" McChesney claims that the oldest joke is the one about the fussy old lady who was taking a trip that would take her across the equator. Some of her friends told her before she started that she should make the Captain show her the equator when they came to it.. One day, as they neared the equa- tor, she asked the Captain if they were not there yet. He said they were about to cross it and he sent for powerful telescope, focused it for her and told her to look and she would see the equator. The Captain then stepped to the other end of the telescope and, pulling a hair from his head, held the hair across the large end of the tele- scope. Do you see it now?' asked the Captain. Oh, my yes! l see it!" exclaimed the old lady. And there's camel walking across it."

PRESIDENT WILSON'S PEACE MESSAGE

The message the subject of worldwide peace which President Wilson delivered verbally before Con gress on Tuesday of this week will go down in his tory of the broadest, farest, nobest and most comprehensive addresses delivered. Of members of Congress heard the Presidents address there are some who quoted saying it more of than peace message.
 At present and in the immediate future the state ments of President may portend more for than to peace but when the latter comes and comes along the lines laid down by him, it will mean peace on a permanent basis only America but for says be observed will, when embodied in the peace terms. mean that future wars such as the present lesser scale will be impossible
 To enforce the peace plans outlined by the President will certainly mean bitterly intensified warfare than has yet been waged. Germany and her cohorts are not yet in mood to accept such terms as the President mentions and there remains al comes to them. This the Allies are prepared to do and will do if another three years of strife necessary to bring them to that receptive mood.
 In the first point suggested by President Wilson, Peace pacs must be open and without private under standings between powers he sounded the keynote to world peace and the thirteen following points which just full of meat the first Thus will treaties be impossible and all the remainder of the world will know in what relations any powers will hereafter stand to each other.
 The restoration of captured territory and repara- tion for Alsace-Lorraine stipulated by the Presi dent will be particularly hard for Geramny to swallow but is a stipulation which Germany must accept before she will be permitted enjoy the peace she pretends to seek. The allied European coun- tries will endorse every word uttered by President and their armies. aided and abetted by that of the United States, will continue to carry the fight til peace is brought about along the lines outlined by the great American statesman.
 Germany, having torn and trampled underfoot ev- cry selnblance to national honor and international courtesy. and will be trusted in the mat ter of formulating peace terms She will accept what her present enemies offer her and she is ready for such acceptance, she will do well prepare greater and defense than after forty years of preparation-and that is what she had be- hind her when she went into the present conflict. The average human mind comprehend the gigantic preparation with which Germany was forti- fled at the outbreak of the war but what she had had it not been sapped by than three years of conflict, and even multiplied fourfold would not carry her to victory with the combined strength re- sources and wealth Of practically the remainder of the world arrayed against her
 Germany and her co-partners will accept the peace offered to them and it will be along lines outlined by the President of the United States of America

RUSSIA, LAND OF FAMINES

Russia is the land of famines. They have been more frequent there than anywhere else and more disastrous.

CADILLAC ANNOUNCES
CONTINUANCE OF TYPE
Company Says it Sees no Warrant
for Change, Even in Lesser
Externals

The announcement of the Cad
lilac Motor Car Company that it
will continue its present type OF
chassis and body styles this year
carries with it more than usual
interest. This is SO because a
large section of both the public
and the trade have come to look
to the Cadillac for developments
which exert far-reaching in
f1uence in the industry.
In the course of its announce
ment, the Cadillac Company says:
There has been no new Cad
lilac for four years, and not even
in the lesser externals can we
see warrant for change for long
time to come.
"The facts are so obvious that
we feel warranted in speaking
more bl11ntly than usual concern
ing the present status OF the "
Type Cadillac 1t stands today.
the world over, in position Of
almost undisputed leadership as a
smooth, level-running piece Of
motor mechanism, without peer.
Expressing it in more practic-
al terms, we believe 1t to be uni
versalty conceded that the Cadillac
is today by far the most valuable
piece of motor property that mon
ey can bury.
1.-THE principle OF the V-Type
Cadillac is firmly fixed and estab-
1ished, and we shall earnestly
strive, as we have for four years,
to progressively improve the per-
Torrance
Except as we refine our own
refinements, and surpass our own
standards, the Cadillac of a year
from today win be the Cadillac Of
today.
while scarcely needed, we be
Heve that Cadillac owners the
world over will welcome this as
surance OF the permanence and
Standardization of the type"
-Four years ago the Cadillac
Company adopted the V-Type
eight cylinder engine. the first to
be built commercially on this side
Of the Atlantic Throughout this
entire period. the characteristics
and principles of this construction
have been faithfully retained.
Broader experience and Increased
knowledge have led to the refine
ments and ARRANGEMENTS which
have been noted from time to
time.
In adhering for another year to
its present type and present mod
els, the Cadillac Company is fol-
lowing a policy of long standing
This is to adopt principle or
type only after the engineers

after to develop it steadily to the
highest possible point.
