DODGE BROTHERS MOTOR CAR It was our expectation, from the first, that this car would play a large part in determining motor car values. We said as much in our advertisements almost a year ago. We expected it to set up in the public mind a model and a pattern of what a car of moderate price should be. We expected that it would encourage buyers to judge motor cars by the standaid of quality— not by price. Surely the results have more than realized our expectations. Surely you can see that the car is considered a criterion of what constitutes real worth. Once a man has driven the car, even for a few miles, nothing can distract his mind from its performance and its quality. He thinks of the price only in relation to the re markable value it buys. That is why the first 20,000 fell so short of supplying the demand. That is why the second 20,000 are being absorbed with equal eagerness. Dodge Brothers, Detroit The price o f the car complete Geo.

COTTON AND THE LOAN. opposition to tM leu to the com from England and France baaed upon business reasons is entire ly within the lawful privileges of financiers and those having money, but opposition to the loan because of racial antagonism impinges upon that neutrality which so many people have been clamoring for. Every southern banker and every southern cotton grower, and every other man interested in the south, ought to be especially interested in the success of this enterprise. If the loan does not succeed Eng land and France will not be able to buy and pay for the amount of cotton that otherwise they would use. Last year the price of cotton was cut 1600,000,000 because of this war. This year the price of eotton should Mt be rat because of opposition to the loan baaed upon no other than a For High Class Job and Commercial Printing J ad Book work The GUARD has Never Been Excelled WE will keep up our standard of good printing and the best grade of stock. It might be well, Mr. Merchant and business man, for you to look over your stock of printing and see if there is anything in that line that you will need for the first. We will be able to get the work out on short notice and will Appreciate the Bvhesi Tbe BATESVILLE GUARD desire to see one side whip the other. We do not see why the products of this region should be jeopardised in price because of an interest in the success of the imperial German gov ernment. It will be rather hard upon the south if it has to sacrifice this year’s eotton crop in order that the kaiser may cripple the finances of England and of France. This is a country of majorities, and if the issue, like or dislike, were put to a vote and the conduct of the gov ernment was regulated accordingly, there would be no doubt of the result. If opposition to the loan is made simply because the opponents love the kaiser and hate the king of England and the president of France, then a counter opposition insisting that the loan should be made would be equally legitimate. One folly, however, doos not Justify another. The financiers of America should look to the security. If they are sat isfied with the security then indeed they should make the loan, because the commerce of the south and of the rest of the country would be greatly benefited thereby. The failure to make the loan will not end the war. It will not result in a victory for Germany or a victory for the allies. But the failure of the loan would be more disastrous to our people than to those of any other section of the United States. As Mr. Festus Wade of St. Louis well puts it, the price of cotton will be greatly influenced by the success or the failure of the in ternational loan. The success or failure of this loan would also have much to do with the condition of laboring people all over the United States. And we do not see why our laboring men should suf fer for lack of employment in order to help the cause of a foreign poten tate, whose cause is based upon no other foundation than a desire for absolutism. If the French people should come to the United States asking for a loan for themselves, it would be the patriotic duty of every American whose forbears were in the revolution, and every other American who is grateful for the liberty we enjoy to regard the plea of France not only from its business aspect, but also as an appeal to the high sentiment with in the breast of the liberty-loving peo ple of both republics. — Commercial Appeal.

Acting Director ot the Sunday School Course of the Moody Blhlelnstltute.) LESSON FOR SEPTEMBER 19 DCFKAT THROUGH DRUNKKN NESS. LESSON TEXT—I Kings »:»-«. GOLDEN TEXT—Wine and new wine lake away the underatandlng. Hog. 4:11 H V. We feel somewhat like questioning the title of this lesson. It can be used aa a temperance lesson no doubt, but to attribute Ben-hadad's defeat entire ly to drunkenness is not quite true to the facts. Jehovah’s Jealousy of his name (v. 13) and the enemies' con tempt for Jehovah (vv. 23, 28) are the fundamental causes of the defeat of the Syrians though, of course, drunk enness, as an exhibition of self-indulg ence and therefore of weakneas, was a natural accompaniment of that con tempt for Ood. I. Ahab’s Predicament, w. 10-12. The Syrian king's contemptuous treat ment of Ahab (vv. 1-7) at last became so great that in sheer desperation the people refused to listen to his demands (v. 8). His forces far overwhelmed the little army of Israel (vv. 1, 10, 27), but one was on Ahab's side who had not yet withdrawn bls mercy from Israel and with whom Ben-hadad could not cope (v. 13; Rom. 8:31; Phil. 4:13). Ben-hadad wag the most pow erful monarch of his time of those na tions bordering upon the Mediter ranean. Tbe march of his army was like "a tempest of hall, an overwhelm ing acourge" with unrestrained power. The effect was worse than the plagues of Egypt But Ben-hadad was a drunk ard, a habitual one (vv. 12-16). Samarin was rich and this king want ed It even as Intemperance always lusta after the wealth of youth and the gold of a nation (vv. 3, 13). Drink always makes a fool of Ito victim and dooms to ultimate defeat all who yield to ita power (ch. 16:6; 11 Sam. 13:38; Prov. 31:4, 6; Lake 31:34; Eph. 1:18). 11. God’s Prophet, w. 13-15- It was Indeed dark for Ahab. He saw (v. 13) the host confronting him but he also heard tbe word of Jehovah. As con trasted with Jehovah that multitude was but as a handful of dust Ood to on ths side of temperance. All of God's tows fsvor temperance. Our ever-living glorified leader and the energising power of the holy spirit are the ones who are the source ot our victorlee over all principalities and powers of eviL Ahab's predicament to answered by God's “I will deliver" (v. 13) and so today ws have his sure promise of victory (Eph. 6:16-12). Ood has today set forth his prophets (I Cor. 12:26) to proclaim his mes sage of salvation and power to over come Intemperance. This is not a "necessary evil." Experts and scien tists have clearly demonstrated ita be ing unneccessary and a drag upon so ciety, and God has taught us how to overcome It. Ahab's unfortunate char acter appears st its best tn this story, but alas he and his successors soon forgot ths lesson. 111. Victorious Prlncss, w. 16-21. To Ahab's question "by whom’’ to this de liverance to bo wrought God answers, “by ths young men of the princes of the provinces” (v. 14). These choice young fellows are mustered to. 2*3 of them, ss leader. of aa army of 7.060, all who could be found la the capital. God delights to work through young men I John 0:1*. 14) and the pagea of history sro strswn with ths victori ous achievements of youth. Two-thtrds of Lincoln's army were under twenty-one years of age at their enlistment; the Union was preserved by an army of boya. Ahab himself to the leader (v. 14) and they began at once by carrying the battle into the enemies’ territory. Ben-hadad and bis drinking compan ions never dreamed of being attacked at that hour. Like Gideon and his army these young men smote the Syrian host in overwhelming defeat Israel's enemies had Incapacitated themseivsa. A drunken mob to no mutch for oven a handful of organised and sober men. Theee thirty-three kings courted their own defeat (Prov. 33:26-33; Eccl. 11:10; Hoe. 4:11). Bon badad's kings “who helped him” (v. 16) proved to be a reed for all the strength and support they rendered him to the moment of Tils need. It was the young men who went first, e. g- struck the first blow Ben badad's self-confidence and boasting (v. IS)*to but another Illustration of that “pride which goeth before de struction” (Prov. 16:16; Luks 16:14). The army of Israel was small (v. IS) but ft did Mt hesitate to attack the superior force snd that sort of faith will always incite others which will “follow them" (v. 16). ■very man “alow hto man,” each did hto part—“played the game sad played it fair”—aad tbe result was a host to fun flight aad the handful of IsrusUtss in pursuit <v.
