Committee on Public Information Mr..
Creel, travelling incognito, has been lost
somewhere between FL Paso and the

Whether Mr.. Creels mission Is official

1t was undertaken following a conference

new muddle over Mexican affairs which
threatens TO revive the chaotic conditions
that existed In that country during the
period when the President had recourse

THE IDEAL LOCAL TOWN

Every farmer and every farm family
in the country would rather live in the
vicinity of real live town than be COM
PEELED to consider "dead one" as their
local trading point.
And it is hardly fair to think of the
town as simply place to buy and sell.
The ideal town is really part of the COM
munity.
Live, wide-awake towns which have
commercial clubs or other community
enterprises, should include the busi-
ness men on the farms as well as the
business men who happen to live in
town. For the most important, and
we might almost say the most MITIGATE
business today is the business Of farm
ing right. 1t involves analysis, study,
planning, and executive ability and
judgment, fully equal to that required
to run the local store or bank
We say this because the town Of the
right sort is of much importance to
the people living near it. 1t is import
ant because it increases the value OF

Wealth Gone Up In Smoke

1t is amazing how little is understood
about the principles underlying prop
erty destruction by fire. So many
people have an impression that, if des-
troyed property is insured, there is no
actual loss.
Will these people ever understand
that this idea is but new application
of the old, old notion of lifting ones
self by the boot straps? The replace
ment of destroyed wealth by insurance
companies is but distribution OF the
wealth of others that has been collected
from each through the medium of in
surance premiums. There is no actual
replacement of wealth. When il has
gone up in smoke, it has gone forever
and the nation is by so much the poor
er. The sum total of its wealth has
been Iessened to just that extent. One
man may be reimbursed when his prop
erty burns because of semi-utilitarian
and semi-economic principle, accepted
by men generally, which persuades
them that by the sacrifice of a moder-
ate contribution from the wealth Of
each a general fund may be established
from which any of the contributors
may draw in case of disaster.

Ford SlaSheS
All Car Prices
Immediate Average Cut of $142
Per Car Announced.

Henry Ford Tuesday announced that
prices on all models of his automobile
have been reduced on an average OF
one hundred and forty-two dollars a
car, bringing them practically to their
pre-war prices. The Ford Company
has one hundred and forty-six thousand
untitled orders.
In making the announcement Mr..
Ford said he will lose his profit on all
cars made with material he now has on
hand but that general price slashinp
is the only way a return to pre-war
prices can be brought about.
"High prices impede progress" de.
clared Ford, "and it is time we got
back to a pre-war pasis. The war is
over. Prices must come down." The
new prices will become effective i'm.
mediately. Wages at the Ford plant
which have been high as in other in
dustries here will not be affected.
The price cut is bound to have an
effect upon prices of other cars, ac-
cording to prominent automobile men
of Detroit.

How Will Women
Vote This Fall?
Question Puzzles Even Old Time
Political Dopsters of Michigan

How are the women of Michigan GO
ing to vote at the November election?
That's question that even the old
time politicians refuse to bet or be quot
ed on. II it could be answered with
any degree of certainty candidates for
state and county offices could get lot
of sleep that they will probably lose be-
tween now and November.
For the most part, the experienced
political dOpsters are counting on the
majority of the states good housewives
to vote as their husbands do. But even
this conjecture is admitted to be "dope"
pure and simple.
Occasionally, it is pointed out, a
woman is of opposite political belief
from her husband because she has fol-
lowed in the footsteps of her father.
This divergence is liable to make itself
felt in the November vote.
Trying to figure the women's vote is
an interesting sport these days, but
only actual count of the ballots will de-
eide whether equal suffrage is going to
double the old vote of the two principal
political parties or whether there is to
be a change in the old affairs Of the
state.
