MACHINERY PLAYS Big
PART IN FARM LIFE.
Could Not Be Run at Profit with
Hand Tools, Says John
N. WHY'S.
TRUCK. LABOR-SAvING DEVICE

''In these days of talk about the high
cost of living. We are confronted by a
startling truth; that IL II were not for
farm machinery we could not live at all,
said President John n. Willys, of the
Willys-Overland Company, of Toledo,
Ohio, in a recent discussion of the impor-
tance of the motor truck in the modern
business world. IF we had no farm
machinery our great cities, centers of in
dustry and wealth. would shrivel up and
disappear. Instead of having 40 per cent
of our population In cities, as is the case
today, there would be only or per cent
of the people who could afford to be
urban dwellers And the other 96 or 81
per cent would be mighty busy trying to
wrest a living for themselves and their
city brethren out of the soil.
"a hundred years ago four farmers
could Just barely raise enough wheat to
feed themselves and one other family.
Today North Dakota alone grows wheat
enough to feed herself and 12,OOO,000 people
besides. Such is the increment of machin
cry.
mo farmer can run today at a profit
with hand-labor tools. No banker would
lend money on a farm where grain is
being cut with hand-sickles and thrashed
with fails. 1t is the machinery, combined
with scientific methods and large units
of production, from which farm profits
are now being derived. Small farmers,
with small and old-fashioned operations.
are making no profits at all.
'One of the most important labor and
mOney-saving machines now available to
the farmer is the motor truck, the vehicle
by which the cost Of transportation can
be and is being cut from 30 TO 50 per
cent. Farmer-owners of Willys Utility
three-quarter ton trucks are demonstrat-
ing every day that this method OF trans
porting their products is lowering their
expenditures by large amounts. In the
hauling of wheat alone, they find that the
cost of cents per 100 pounds, which was
the best that could be accomplished with
horses and wagon, has decreased to a
wonderful extent. With the Willys UtiIi-
ty truck, wheat can be hauled a given
distance and under equal conditions of
roads and weather for considerably less
than half this cost.

past president of the Society OF Auto

Don't purchase inferior motor spir-

TWO NEW MARION RoADsTERS.
Tendency to Make Cars Roomy and
Comfortable Is Noted.


Two new roadsters which show strongly
the present day tendency Of automobile
manufacturers to make cars as roomy
and comfortable as possible, are announc-
ed as the latest addition to the Marion
line for 1914
While the new cars are listed as of
two-passenger capacity, 1t is noticeable
that the seat and cushion are not divided
into two sections as has heretofore been
the practice in roadsters, thus with the
wide body, facilitating the carrying of
three passengers side by each. The body
is also EXTREMITY long from cushion 10
dash, affording an exceptional amount
of leg room.
The rear deck is of the enclosed COM
partment type. In the four-cylinder car
the gasoline tank is placed under this
deck, close to the body, while at the rear
is a roomy luggage compartment. On
the six-cylinder chassis the gasoline tank
is placed at the rear below the frame,
feed being by pressure system.
The chassis on which these cars are
mounted are identical with the other
Marion 1914 models The six-cylinder has
a 33-4x5 IA continental motor and the
four-cylinder a 4x5 motor. Both have
electric lighting aand starting, the COM
plete equipment common to the new
Marion. as well as numerous exclusive
features such as patent tire carriers,
unit wiring system, self lubricating spring
bolts.
In general line of design the new models
are among the most attractive OF the sea-
sons offerings. being low and rakish.
Easy riding qualities are emphasized by

HUNTERS OUTFIT
INCLUDES MOTOR
California Sportsmen Regard Auto
mobile as Essential of Equipment
for Taking Game.

Hunting via the automobile route is
becoming more and more a favorite
pastime in California, according to Sam
uel W. Grim, San Francisco agent Of
the Knox Automobile Company, who, in
spite of his busy routine, manages to
steal away for a days sport occasionally.
The Californian uses his automobile
constantly whether at work or at play"
says Mr.. Grim; Sin fact he practically
lives in It. 1t is but natural, therefore,
that his car should be just as much a
part of his hunting equipment as his gun
by getting an early morning start +.
enables him 10 go far out into the remote
sections for several hours ramble in
some of natures most glorious hunting
regions and still get back for a good
nights sleep in his own bed.
We Californians believe the automobile
was made to be used. and, whether it is
hunting or just running about town, we
dent intend to let the motors get rusty
from lack of use"

About People You Know
Along Automobile Row
BY l.. G. CHEW.

The Motor Sales and Service Company
has moved into its handsome new home
at 1911 Fourteenth street northwest.
Henry Cunningham. the genial Marion
representative here, is manager of the
new company. Several of the new 1914
Marion models are now on display.
Howard Kneessi, the hustIing manager
Of the Hudson Automobile Company
despite his successes with the Hudson
car, is a modest young man. Recently
through an error the title of president Of

linked with his name. Howard" was
quick to correct the mistake, declaring
life was too short for him to attain
such an exalted height" However, we
are not convinced of his attitude toward
the error.
The salesroom of the Cook & Stod-
dard Company, in Connecticut avenue,
resembles a miniature automobile show
in itself. All the new Cadillac models
are on display. and Rudolph Jose, the
popular manager of the company, finds
