MAXIMUM EFFICIENCY
In THE DELIVERY CAR

The meat Of the delivery car prob
lem" says ". s. Petit. sales mana ger
Of the Commerce Motor Car com
pany. lies in the conception and real
ization Of the phrase maximum eff
cheney as applied to the delivery car.
The conception of what that phrase
means must, Of course, originate in
the brains Of the designers Of the car.
Accessibility and simplicity of parts
must be OF paramount Importance in
their original conception of what their
car shall be A complicated motor or
set OF running parts; an engine that
is hard 10 get ct are elements which
have no place in the motor car whose
service is the constant, heavy grind
Of daily business
The realization Of the phrase, an
element as important as its concep-
tion. lies IN the hands of the produc-
fion department. where the ideas of
the designers Of the car must be so
adequately and thoroughly carried out
that the finished car in every way full
fills their ideals Of it. The complete
interehangeabi Of parts must be a
fact.
Maximum efficiency in the delivery
car sense means maximum service
hours-the number Of hours the COM
mercial car viii give continuous serv-
ice under the hardest sort OF condi-
tions. Complicated design and the
slightest variation in parts are i'm
portant things which limit ther eff
cheney and often destroy IL altogether.
The commerce car has already proven
itself the delivery car OF maximum
efficiency. We believe that our engi-
neers have adequately conceived and
that our production engineers have as
adequately realized It in the ideal
maximum efficiency

FORD USES GOOD
MATERIAL IN CARS

One of the most discussed features
OF the Ford car has always been its
strength. despite its extreme light
ness This is due not only TO the
excellence Of the raw material used.
but also to the methods of treating
the metal. particularly the various
heat treatments.
In order to properly treat the enor
nous amount of metal which passes
through the factory at Detroit each
day. many special furnaces had TO be
assigned
Among others are the heat treatment
furnaces for toughening various parts
Of the car, which must be strong but
not brittle No ordinary furnace
would handle the amount OF steel
which must be heated every day, nor
would ordinary methods OF handling
suffice.
One thing that makes the Fords
appeal TO the ordinary man is the fact
that II is SO thoroughly standardized
that even the smallest Ford agent
carries q stock of spare parts, and
Ford owners are able 10 make replace
ments without any long wait for a
part shipped from the factory. which
means that the Ford owner is yirtu-
ally never without his car.

C. E. Herrick Inc.
Finance Many Deals

The big increase in the demand by
auto dealers and owners for money TO
finance automobile transactions has
induced c. E. Herrick. Inc. 10 enlarge
its financial facilities. which in The
past. owing TO q limited working cap
ital. have been inadequate to meet the
requirements OF the public.
The firm has decided TO offer TO the
public all OF its remaining securities.
which IL is estimated viii bring in
something Ike s500.oo0.
As the services OF c. z. Herrick, Inc.
have been used IN the past success
fully and advantageous by automo-
bile owners and dealers IN handling
business that must otherwise have
been neglected. this decision will
prove Of great interest TO the automo-
bile public The marketing OF the ad-
ditiona1 securities means that every
dealer and owner will be enabled 10
obtain the financial support which he
needs and which almost invariably his
business sustifes. Conservative In
restors are expected 10 provide a
ready market for the new Offering
Authorities on auto finance estimate
that there is q demand for S500.000 at
least three times a year in san Fran
cisco and the bay cities by borrowers
who wish 10 broaden their facilities

70 increase their profits
-.As an instance Of the profitable use
which the average dealer and owner
finds for money" said C. z. Herrick
I-s-it may be cited that in the last three
months every loan we have made has
been redeemed on maturity and in not
& single instance has an automobile
been forfeited.
This shows that while there IS a
big demand for money on automobile
security the profit that is made with
this borrowed capital is sufficient to
justify the transaction. While we
have approximately 100000 now at
work in our business the purchase OF

HOME MADE ABsoRBERs

The correct principle for shock
absorber is resistance to the upward
motion Of the spring. but no resist
ance TO the downward motion This
may be accomplished by attaching a
broad and strong strap TO the frame
Of the car, have il pass underneath the
axle, and forward TO a stiff coiled
spring as nearly horizontal as possi-
bic. When the weight depresses the
springs the coiled spring draws up
the strap. and when the body of the
car rises the friction of the strap
around the axle retards the action.

insurance companies of other
states are flooding Arkansas
with circular letters to the poll
cy holders, requesting them to
send a form letter to the Con-
gressmen and senators who re-
present this state in Congress,
urging them to vote against the
Income Tax section of the Tar
if bill. The circulars declare
the tax measure is economic
folly"
The circulars call attention to
the fact that they will be taxed
one per cent of their net income
if they are conducted on the mu-
tual plan. These same compan-
les object to the measure be-
cause it exempts mutual frater-
nal bodies, but does not exempt
the mutual regular insurance
companies. The companies do
not call attention to the small
amount the policy holder is tax
ed under the measure, but take
it for granted he should be
against the bill because it will
cost millions annually to the in
surance companies, even though
the cost to him is but few

Trying Alfalfa On State Farm.
Cnocia1 IN TndananGent

Special to Independent.
Little Rock, April 28.-Mem-
bers of the Board of Peniten-
tiary Commissioners are firm
believers in the value of alfalfa
as a hay crop and are confident
the State farm can be made to
produce a sufficient amount to
make it a profitable venture.
For the purpose of experiment.
ing with alfalfa, the Commission
has directed James McCook, SUI
perintendent of the farm, to
plant ten acres. If the crop
turns out as we'll as the Com
mission anticipates, the state
will next year enter into the Gull
ture of alfalfa on a large scale.
Cotton and corn are up on the
farm, and the prospects are for
a large yield in both. The state
will this year have 5000 acres in
cotton and 1900 acres in corn, an
increase of about 500 acres in
corn and 300 acres in cotton.
The Commission is not expert

new grades of cotton -
sticking to the standard long
staple cotton which was produc-
ed with such good results last

HARROW WILL
HELP COTTON
AS Well AS Corn Unless For
nler Is Bedded-It Is the On
ening Fight Against
Grass.

Much corn and cotton of re-
cent planting is now coming up
and IS ready to receive atten-
ton. 1t would always be better
II the corn and cotton both were
narrowed after it came through
the ground, running the harrow
across the rows. 1t is not al
ways practical to use the harrow
on the cotton where it is bedded
and for this reason it would be
better to not bed the cotton, but
to level the bed or plant level.
Where the land is low and
wet, this plan will not be best, as
the bed is necessary to keep the
young cotton out of the water
and prevent its drowning out in
the spring rains, If it is practi-
cal to run the harrow across the
rows of corn and cotton, it will
prove a good thing. 1t will loos-
en- the ground and will rid the
field of a good deal of young
grass and weeds. It may seem
like it will be too destructive,
but experience will teach you
different and you will find that
you have a good stand left.
Be ready to meet the great
battles you are sure to have
with grass. Wet weather will
most likely come along and keep
you out of the young corn and
cotton longer than is good for
the crop, but keep things NOV
ing so that you can be in the
field every time the ground is
dry enough to cultivate. When
ever the ground is too wet to
ploy, be getting your plows, and
tools, gears, etc., ready to pitch
into the crop at the earliest
moment without delay. By
keeping up with your work and
always making preparation in
advance you will be better able
to win the battle with the grass
and keep your crop always
growing. If it gets too wet and
stays that way too long, take
up the hoe and go after the grass
and weeds, anyway. Do not
pillow when the soil is too wet.
It will be hurtful to the grow
ing crop.
Now is the busy time to get
busy and keep busy until the
crops are made. Close applica-
ton and unrelenting energy will
make a good crop in face of lots
of bad luck sometimes.

Commissioner ofAgriculture.
