Cadillac works have not pro
duced a car which equals il
The added exterior beauties
are plainly apparent-but
the greater beauties are those
which await you IN an ease
of control and a softness Of
operation beyond our ability
to describe.
The car has accomplished
prodigies oflong, hard travel,
with an absence of even the
most usual adjustment.
Even while our eyesare fixed
on a Cadillac steadily and
progressively improving, we
cannot help feeling that
there has been attained, in
this Cadillac, a secure supc-
riority which is reward
enough for a Lifetime Of
Jealous labor.
And that is what this Cadil-
lac actually represents-the
life-work of the same group
of craftsmen, giving today,
as they have for years, the
very best that is in them to
make a greater and greater
Cadillac.

A REMARKABLE CAMPAIGN DOCUMENT.

Perhaps the most remarkable document of the campaign has
been issued in behalf of General Leonard Wood by his supporters
in New York, containing statements from DR.. Harvey Gushing
of Boston and DR.. Alexander Lambert Of New York, declaring
that a tumor, about the size Of a mandarin orange was taken from
the brain of General Wood ten years ago. The tumor had at1ect-
ed General Woods left side, and except for the fact that ne has a
stiff left foot, the recovery has been complete, that there is no
danger of insanity, no mental deterioration, and the General is in
'perfec: health.
DR.. Cushing, who performed the operation makes the follow
ing statement to Senator PenrOse:
AT the operation a cyst was removed from the foot centre of the right
hemisphere. 1t had been taere many years 1t was a perfectly benign tumor
and he has since had no symptoms whatsoever The stiffness and awkward
ness OF the left foot which were there before the operation, VIII D per-
'manent His mentality, however was lot affected in the slightest ana 70
Far as any one can tell his physical condition, he is in absolutely perfect
meath and enjoys such health as few of us have ever enjoyed. He is the
.most vigorous and sound human being, physically and mentally, that l ever
saw"
DIR. Lambert, who was Roosevets physician, elucidates this
statement as follows:
IN plain words a cyst was taken out of the Generals head about the
size of a mandarin orange and it didn't bother him any more than a broken
deg. There is no danger of his becoming insane from it. There has been no
mental deterioration of any knd'
All of which will be good news to the millionaire supporters
of mlitarism putting up the Generals slush fund. 1t is FORUM
ate indeed that the tumor, like the slush fund, was "a perfectly be-
nign affair" and that there is no danger of insanity.
But what does Senator Moses, the brain lesion expert, who
totally incapacitated President Wilson last winter, and who is now
one of the Wood campaign managers, have to say on the subject?
The case will not be complete until we have the diagnosis OF the
shopping brain specialist of the senate.

CANNERS TURN n

An announcement Of interest to growers is contained IN an ao-
vertsemnet Of Libby, Mcneil and Libby, the canning subsidiary
of Swits, which announces the organization OF the Pacific Coast
Farms and Development Company, capitalized at S5OO,OOO, placing
stock in the same on the investment market.
The first investment has been the purchase OF 1858 acres
near Fresno, California, where Libby, Mcneil and LIBBY operate
a large cannery and it is the purpose OF the corporation TO ouy
and operate farms, warehouses and other property necessary Tor
the slpply of canneries in all the Pacific Coast states.
In other words, the Gamers claim to have found 1t necessary
to insure a supply of raw materials, to go into the producing busl-
ness on a large scale themselves, as growers repudlate contracts
demand extortionate prices, pool and sell output to distant Gamer
les and leave the local cannery with insufficient supplies for oper-
alton. Probably also the desire to regulate the market is a factor,
The individual farmer, who practices business methods ana
efficiency. win always have the advantage over the corporation
farmer and can produce cheaper, and operate more protltably.
Proper cooperation with manufacturers will insure a market and
prevent other corporate concerns from engaging in farming on a
wholesale basis to threaten his future.
