Clothes are nationally known for their fine

get clothes like these at such prices is truly
astonishing.
We can't tell how long this great clothing

THE AUTOMOBILE
IN THE COUNTRY

Some of the financial men are again
predicting that the automobile indus
try has reached its peak.
We don't think so. Perhaps there's
n peak in sight for the machines that
today are running much above S2oOO
in price, but below that there are
years of good business ahead. only
a few days ago the maker OF one OF
tbe cheaDer-priced autos gave orders TO
increase production 33 per cent for the
coming year Other makers that are
able to make in quantity good ma
hinp and deliver promptly are no
lcuht preparing for the same thing.
The degree of prosperity in this IN
uStry depends. of course. on how go0d
ne times are going to be. They
omit be especially flush in this CON
l.. tiOn. II crops are reasonably good
here will continue to be much buying
# automobiles in the smaller towns
and on the farms The automobile has
}rpn such a boon to the countryside
that nearly everybody must have one
BEFORE the movement is closed. Inc
automobile has made the farmer city
man. 1t has brought him pleasures
and many new comforts that he ought
to have and that everybody should ne
clad TO see him have.
If the big cities are near satlratloh
with automobiles. the country is NOT
even though it has been large buyer
in the past.

HE'S A GREAT MAN WHO
TAKES PAINS THESE DAYS

1t used to he Il great virtue in Amer
lea to take pains with your job. Just
as it was great virtue to be thrifty
and save money and wear patches.
But these things seem to have
passed. We do our work after fash
ion. most of us, and demand more and
more money for it, whether it is labor
we sell or goods.
Nevertheless. the men who ignore the
worlds fool ways today and take pains
Infinite painS-are really great men.
Take Seager Wheeler. the Canadian
farmer. who was given humdrum de
gree the other day by Queens College.
Kingston. Ontario. In 1883, he bought
160 acres from the Canadian Pacific
railroad for So an acre. Year after
year he selected the best seed of his
what crops. planting them again, and
again selecting them. His Red BObs
were the result of one redheatl i'm a
plot of white wheat from Australia.
From it he harvested 60 bushels to an
acre
His Kitchener" wheat he bred in
the same painstaking way-one choice
head after another. With the Kitchen
er he made the worlds record of 50
bushels to an acre.
But he didn't make much money at
it. He isn't rich. He hasn't extended
his acres. He spent more time in
painStaking experiment than on large
crops. He spent time telling the more
or less needless government and public
authorities about his experiments and
it took time to explain his secrets to
thousands of farmers whom he wanted
TO help. But one thing he did dO-fel-
low citizens
His Red BObS and Kitchener extend
ed the limits of wheat growing 200
miles farther north in Canada so that
through his pains wheat can now be
grown on tens of millions of acres
where no wheat grew before
Hurrah for Wheeler.

RED CROSS EXTENDS
RELIEF TO POLAND

More than 100000 has been spent
by the American Red Cross in aiding
the stricken people Of Poland. The
organization has nursed the sick, fed
the starving, clothed the naked, shelter
ed the homeless, schooled the children
and cared for the orphans there. 1t has
conducted a relentless fight against
typhus, cholera and other terrible dis
eases. So today millions of men and
women in that resurrected nation
speak in grateful appreciation Of 1.-THE
Greatest Mother in the World"
Nearly 200 American Red Cross
workers are now engaged in relief &C.
tivities in Poland. Four large relief
bases are in operation and eleven mo-
bile units are in the field. During the
last twelve months this organization
was largely instrumental in the re-es-
tablishment Of million refugees at a
cost for general relief of more than
$1,OO0,00O. Last winter One-half mil
lion war orphans were aided material
ly, and since then series of large or
phanages have been established to give
them permanent care.
But for American Red Cross aid, of
ficials Of Poland declared recently, mil
lions of people In that country would
have persisted Of disease, exposure or
starvation the last eighteen months.
And the work there must be kept up
for another year.
