EVENTS OF THE WEEK 
DOMESTK^.—No unnaturalized Ger¬ 
man will be allowed after the 1st of .Tune 
to go within one-half mile of any State 
armory without a si)ecial permit from the 
Federal authorities. 
The three-masted ship Standard, owned 
by Libby, McNeill & lubby, is ,a total 
wreck off f'ape Gonstantine, in Bering 
Sea. Df nearly 1.50 men aboard the ves¬ 
sel only 29 have been rescued, according 
to the report. 
Captain Franz Rintelen and his fellow 
conspirators. David Lamar, the “Wolf of 
Wall Street.” and Henry B. Martin, were 
sentenced May 21 by .Tudge Cushman in 
the United States District (""ourt to serve 
a year in the Mercer County jail, at Tren¬ 
ton. N. ,1. 
Fire in the stove factory of Rathbone, 
Sard & Co., at Albany, N. Y., May 18, 
caused a loss of .$75,0(K). 
Fii-e that started May 21 in an ob¬ 
scure negro section swept a broad path 
thi’ough the residence section of Atlanta, 
Ga., devastating scores of blocks and de¬ 
stroying many of the city’s finest homes 
and hundreds of negro houses. First esti¬ 
mates of the damage placed it at be¬ 
tween $2,(KK),<)<K) and $3,000,000. 
May 20 two Red Cross nurses on their 
way to Europe were killed on the steam- 
.ship Mongolia by an accident during tar¬ 
get practice. 
The desirability of vaccination against 
smallpox, especially of those persons who 
are travelling about the State, is irrged 
by the New York State Department of 
Health, in view of the fact that smallpox 
has appeared in various parts of the 
State. Eighteen or more cases have oc- 
curi’cd since April 1, principally among 
unvacciuated persons. Several persons 
having the disease in the eruptive stage 
have travelled on trains, and others in a 
similar condition have associated with 
their friends. 
FARM AND GARDEN.—A farm ex- 
])* rr has been designated by the Depart¬ 
ment of .^gricirltirre in each State to take 
liiarge of the farm labor sitrration and to 
co-(q)erate with the State airthorities or 
the body which has had the food pr-oduc- 
tiorr problem in char-ge. T''nder tire State 
agents will be tire 1,3,50 county agerrts in 
the United States. Under each corrnty 
agent will b<* varying rrumbers nf com- 
nnrnity agents who will pr ovide the final 
link between the Deirartrrrerrt and the 
farnrer.s. The commurrity agent will be 
furnished enr-ollment blanks and blanks 
for the entering of farm help reqirir-e- 
ments. Whenever he finds within his 
own corrrrrrunity a shortage of help in one 
place and a surplus in another-, be will be 
empowered to arrange a ti-ansfer of the 
farm laborers to the fartrrs wber-e help is 
scarx-e. After the labor situation in a 
comnrirrrity has been equalized, the coirr- 
murrity man will notify the county agent 
as- to wirether irr the whole comnrunity 
ther-e is a shortage or a surplus of help. 
If ther-e is a surirlus the corrnty agent 
w ill trarrsfer the extra laborers to a coirr- 
munity within the coirnty in which labor 
is scarce. 
With the object of increasing food con- 
servatiorr, the ("hanrber of ("onrmerce of 
Hartford, Conn., has under consideration 
comprehensive plaits for a irroposed com¬ 
munity canning and evaporating plant, to 
which fruits and vegetables m..y be taken 
for preservation. Cost of equipment is 
being investigated. 
It is said that the tuberose growers of 
North ("arolina are now' devoting their 
land to food crops. A freight rate to Eu¬ 
rope of .$10 per barrel, and new' ocean 
travel conditions, has proved prohibitive 
thei’e to the export of this stock this sea¬ 
son. and the prospects of its continuance 
has evidently led the groweixs to change 
to food crops. 
Frederick W. Moseley. Avho w-as ac¬ 
tively engaged in the manufacture of 
dairy airjraratus for over 50 years— 
longr-r than any other man in the T’nited 
States—died suddenly May 14 in his 
eighty-fii-st year, at Clinton, Iowa. He 
began busine.ss in 18;56 at Poultney. Vt., 
-making milk cans and similar apparatus. 
I.ater moving to Rutland. Vt., and finally 
to Clinton. Iowa, the firm of which Mr. 
M<rseley was the head was the first in the 
United States to put on the market ap- 
idiaiices f<pr cheese factories—the initial 
foi-m of co-operative dairying. The Iowa 
concern was the first to manufacture 
dairy ajrpliances w'est of the Mississijrpi 
River, and its line of jrrivate daii'.v ap- 
jiaratus was sold in evei\v State in the 
Union fi-onr 188,5 to 1907, when Mr. 
Moseley retired from business. 
In order to encourage dairymen to 
raise their best heifer calves instead of 
slaughtei-iirg them, the Dairy Bureau of 
the State Board of Agriculture offers 
$3.0(K) in premiums, to be paid in the 
Fall of 1918 for best grade heifers born 
and i-aised in Massachusetts after April 
1, 1917, sires to be purebred Ayrshire, 
Guernsey. Holstein-Friesian. .lersey. 
Shorthorn, or Brown Swdss; dams to be 
high producing grades of any bi-eed. 
Owner of competing animals must be 
practical dairymen superintending their 
own dairies and gaining the major por¬ 
tion of their livelihood from the farm. 
Full details will be furnished lafer on ap¬ 
plication.

Why Other Cars 
Omit These Mitchell Extras 
The Mitchell offers you 
31 extra features— 
24 per cent added luxury— 
100 per cent over-strength. 
When you see these extras— 
each a wanted feature—you will 
ask why others don’t include 
them. This is to tell you the 
reason. 
Cost $4,000,000 
• 
The Mitchell extras, on this 
year’s output, will cost us $4,- 
000,000. To add them to the 
ordinary car would bring the 
price too high. 
In the Mitchell plant, we save 
them in factory cost. John W. 
Bate, the great efficiency expert, 
has worked for years to do that. 
This entire 45-acre plant was 
built and equipped by him. And 
every detail is designed to build 
this one type economically. 
He has cut our factory cost 
in two. No other plant could 
build a car like the Mitchell at 
anywhere near our cost. And 
that saving goes into these 
extras. 
A Lifetime Car 
100% Over-Strength 
The 31 extra features—like a 
power tire pump—will seem a 
great attraction. The added 
luxury—24 percent—makes the 
Mitchell the beauty car of its 
class. 
But our greatest extra is the 
double strength in* each impor¬ 
tant part.* In the past three 
years we have doubled our mar¬ 
gins of safety.

Over 440 parts are built of 
toughened steel. All safety 
parts are vastly oversize. We 
use a wealth of Chrome-Vana¬ 
dium steel. We use Bate can¬ 
tilever springs, which never yet 
have broken. 
We have proved that Mitch¬ 
ells can run 200,000 miles. Few 
owners will live to wear a 
Mitchell out. 
Our $1195 Six 
Now there are two sizes— 
Mitchell and Mitchell Junior. 
But even the smaller has a 120- 
inch wheelbase. Both sizes of¬ 
fer you values far beyond simi¬ 
lar cars. 
See these new models. See 
all the extras they embody. You 
will want such a car as the 
Mitchell when you buy a car to 
keep. 
If you don’t know the nearest 
dealer, ask us for his name.
