 It has taken two full years. It has required the best effort of of engineers, specialists and experts. It has cost s25ooOO for new machinery and equipment. It's making requires 1S5 inspect ors to analyze the steels, watch every detail and make the countless tests.

.itchell's Answer
To the Call for Better Cars!

Come and see in this new Mitchell Six the com- ing idea in fine cars.
 An army of specialists has spent two years in perfecting this ideal Six All during wartime, while the Mitchell built trucks. they developed this car part by part.
 Not merely to create attractions. This new car is based on new standards It is MitchelIs answer to the call for better-buit stronger, more enduring than Light Sizes of the past.
 There are more than 100 important improve ments There is 509o more strength, 75eo more en- durance, 25s5 more economy, 2oso more comfort.
 Those tremendous advances show how far the old-type Light Six fell below today's requirements
Arizona republican., 1919-08-24
Who Was At Fault?

The first Sizes built years ago were too heavy. The call went out for lighter Sizes, lower operat- ing cost.
 Many makers met that call. A rivalry developed. Every maker tried to under-weigh all others And they went too far.
 Later came a fierce price rivalry. Cars skimped and shortened. Countless economies were practiced.
 The years have shown that such things will not do. Extreme lightness involves weakness Econo- mics lessen endurance Nowadays when men buy cars to keep such will not meet requirements
 The fault lay with everyone-buyers, engineers and makers It lay in the call for extreme light ness and for lower prices And it lay in under estimating wear and shock and strain.

ROAD : BUILDING
GOOD WORK OF A ROAD DRAG
implement Should Be Used Properly a. Right Time-Repair All Ruts and
 Expressions.

After two days of rain, says writer in Hoard's Dairyman, we took an eight-mile drive out into the country to buy some pigs. One piece of road was like a city boulevard, only better. Despite it's being only gravel road there was little mud or water, and one would have thought that there had been only rain enough to settle the dust instead of the big rainstorm. We inquired and found that two neighbors had made it practice to alternate in going over this road with road drag after every rain. Just beyond, we came 70 a piece of road muddy. slippery and full of chuck holes that sent us up a mile for every mile covered.
 The only difference between these two pieces of road was a road drag and an hours time spent when field work could not be done. We estimate that 1t took twice as much gasoline to cover the undragged road. Multiply sur experience by the dozens of teams and autos going over this muddy road, and then compute the expense of fail ure to use the road drag that was doubtless rotting away in some fence corner.
 We do not now have in mind the de mands of the good roads extremist, but are considering what may be done and what should be done with the common dirt road. It does more harm than good, as q general rule, to blow up the sod on the sides oft travelled track and pile it up in big Jumps in the cen ter of the track, leaving them there to be broken up by passing vehicles, and the loosened dirt washed away by the rain or blown away by the wind. Keep all the sod, grass roots and other

TREES ALONG CITY STREETS
Work Done by Philadelphia organiza. ton Might Be Copied to Advantage
 in Other Places.

The Society of Little Gardens from the time of it's inauguration recognized street tree planting as one of the city's most vital needs and it's interest in the idea received a tremendous im- petus from the clever plan conceived and carried out by Miss Edith Howe in the early spring of 1915.
 Instead of contenting herself with a couple of trees in front of her own door, Miss Howe determined to have the whole block planted in an effective manner. To obtain this end she con- suited the Fairmount park commits sioners, who have charge of the trees in the streets of Philadelphia. They were glad to assist her, and sent her an expert who drew up a ground plan of the block, with an estimate of the cost of planting; and armed with this she invited her neighbors to cooperate with her.
 Her success was remarkable. Enough money was subscribed not only to plant . the trees, but to have them cared for for three years.
 Some of the officers of Little Gar dens, hearing of this well-thought-out plan and it's results, determined to try the same methods of a larger scale aud endeayor to have all Spruce and Lo- cust streets and others transformed into avenues. Accordingly letters were written to a number of public-spirited women inviting each td undertake the planting of her own block; and, in re- ply, II agreed to make the experiment. That the effort has not been invariably successful goes without saying. Never theless, much has been accomplished. October House Beautiful.

 I am in Northeast France and do not have any farm houses here on the little patches they call farms, which is about as big as 'pa's spud patch behind the barn." There are no wooden buildings here, only what the Tanks came over and built. The houses are of stone and concrete with red clay roofs. The barn is under the house, with living rooms upstairs and the manure from the stable is stack ed out on the sidewalk, and later put on the "farm." The farmers and lower class wear wooden shoes and drink red wine with every meal. They are all Catholic, but we will have to hand it to them for good churches. Every village has church.

JACKSON COUNTY BOY
 WRITES FROM FRANCE

The Independent is in receipt of a letter from a Jackson County boy, William Kendrick, who writes of the country and people lover there. While we do not remember him we appreciate his letter any way. It was written the sixth of December and it is postmarked Issey, France.
 Dear Independent Readers:
 I haven't seen any letters from 4sSunny" France to the Independent, so I thought l would write myself, and hope 1t will be of interest to my friends in the county any way. The people over here are so different to those of the old U. S. A., in that they appear ignorant to me, many of them hardly knowing the armistice has been signed. But at that they cer- tainly did their part and are glor- dous people.
 It is hard to realize what has talk en place over here in the last four years. I have seen quite lot of the battle field l spent 45 days on the Vosges Mountains in Alsace Lorraine, but it was very quiet there. l went to the railroad station, got in box car, rode all night, then hiked' three days with light weight pack of fifty pounds, it raining most all the time. The next battle-ground was the Metz front about eight miles from Nancy, where I remained six days m puppy tent, but they didn't need us and we were returned. Then we made one hundred miles under cover of night to the Verdun front and there the Yanks gave the Huns all they could stand for six days without relief. One can't imagine how terribly the con flict was unless they have gone through it or have been near enough to have heard it. After the barrage

Hopes Women Will
 Adopt This Habit
 As Vel! As Men
Glass of hot water each morn ing helps us look and feel
 clean, sweet, fresh.

Happy. bright, alert-vigorous and vivacious--a good clear skin; nat ura!, rosy complexion and freedom from illness are assured only by clean, healthy blood. If only every woman and likewise every man could realize the wonders of the morning inside hath, what gratifying change would take place.
 Instead of tue thousands of sickly, anaeric-loolling men, women and girls with pasty or muddy complex ions; instead of the multitudes of nerve wrecks," "rundowns,' brain fags' and pessimists we should see a virile, optimistic throng of rosy. checked people everywhere.
 An inside bath is had by drinking, each morning before breakfast, 8 spoonful of limestone phosphate in 1t, to wash from the stomach, liver, kid neys and ten yards of bowels the pre- yious days indigestible waste, sour lamentations and poisons, thus cleansing. sweetening and freshening the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach.
 Those subject tc sick headache, bti- iousness. nasty breath, rheumatism, eolds and particularly those who have a pallid, sallow complexion and who are constipated very often, are. urged to obtain a quarter pound of limestone phosphate at the drug store which will cost but a trife but is sufficient to demonstrate the quick and remarkable change in both health and appearance awaiting those who practice internal sanitation. We must remember that inside cleanliness is more important than outside, be- cause the skin does not absorb impur- ities to contaminate the blood, while the pores in the thirty feet of bowels do.

MACADAM ROAD PROVED BEST
There Are Several Varieties, Changed 10 Suit Localities and Crcum-

For over century now the macadam road has been in use and has proved itself to be the best all-round road that can | 3 built In fact. so good is it that all, military roads in the war area in France are of this type. There are several varieties of it, changed to suit localities and circumstances. The regu- lar water-bound macadam is. with out doubt, the best and safest for horses. But we cannot build for horses alone, it is necessary to preserve the broken stone road against the auto mobile tires, otherwise the road sur face would soon go to pieces.
