diets Great Change in View
of Americans.

Walter Wardrop. of Chicago. looked
upon as an undisputed authority on the
power wagon business, states that there
are at present So, 900 motor trucks in
use. These have value of 100000, 900
He predicts a great change in the mo-
tor trucks Of the future and vast in
crease in their use all over the country
As streets and roads improve the
trucks will be made lighter, more pow
erful and speedier. Greater efficiency
will be developed.
Motor wagon fleets of prominence
cited by Wardrop include 17S trucks OF
value of $350,00O in use by John Wan
amaker and 109 by Marshall Field,
which have cost 100000. The Gimbel
stores in New York use 127 motor de-
livery wagons, Carson, Pirie, Scott &
Co, Chicago, ga machines, and the Fair

81 machines. of a value Of 100000
and is the leading user of commercial
wagons in the United States.
The United States Express Company
has SO machines, valued at $175,000
the Wells-Fargo Company operates
AZ machines.
According to Wardrop, the physical
development of the draft horse is at an
end, and the commercial wagon is com
ing so rapidly that a century hence
there will be few horses used in com
mercial business circles. He does not
believe strongly in the talk of horse

The great firms that have ridded
| themselves of their horse equipment al
most altogether, and have taken to the
motor truck for all work. have all re-
ported vast saving and increasing
satisfaction every year, and the results
attained by the big users are being
used generally by motor truck manu-
facturers to push the sale of Commercial
cars TO smaller merchants and with
rapidly increasing success.

WARNING
FireStone Says Owners Should
Not Neglect Equipment on
Automobile Wheels.
BY r. J. FIRESToNE,
General Manager Flrestone Tire and Rub
Der Company.

\ topic of interest to all owners of mo-
tor trucks should be the care of tires.
There are many insignificant details in
connection with the operation of a power
wagon which have an important bearing
on the life and service of the tires An
ordinary truck tire viii give maximum
of service under ordinary conditions. but
when subjected to abuse it will dete-
riorate as rapidly as any commodity.
Misalingnment Of wheels is one of the
worst. features with which the motor
truck owner must contend. whenever
this evil exists the wear on tires IS I'M
usually great Care should be taken TO
have the wheels examined frequently.
Unless the evil is corrected the life OF
any tire will be comparatively short.
Front wheels are found out Of line more
often than the rear pair. This may re-
suit from any number of causes 1t being
sufficient for the owner only to know
that the front wheels are easily thrown
ont Of line and that the owner should
constantly be watching for any misaIign-
ment.
Travelling over any rough road or pave
ment also is bad for the tires. AS in the
case of the pleasure car, II Is up TO the
driver TO miss such thoroughiares when
ever il is possible, ana Iue VN'ei 9'i'"''
be particular to warn the driver 10 or
cautious. A slight cut in a tire will en-
large rapidly unless it is properly taken
care of.
Running In car tracks also is bad for
the tires In this instance only por-
| ton of the tires are carrying the load
which the entire tire should carry. Shear
! ing may result, The tires may be cut II
"a defect in a rail leaves a sharp edge,
Tires must not stand I'm oil or gaso-
! line. They win disintegrate under the
| treatment Infrequent contact with oil
or gasoline viii, Of course, do little harm
| hut the rubber must not be allowed ia
stand in grease
! IL the truck is brought in after a run

A Luxurious, High Grade Automobile,
it is Still Practical and Economical.

If you own automobile you appreciate this con-
ditiOn once. If you do not it will confront you in
the near future. Good it is. any ordinary Touring
car is expense-a luxury. You enjoy the exhiara-
ton of its speed and the easy it shortens distances
But you grumbe at its uselessness for any sort of
practical work, you Jog to town in your loaded
wagon behind slow moving horses, and think of its
powerful engine capable of 1oOyk lying idle home.
And there never zyas touring car that could take in
one load, merry party such filled the big spring
wagon-until the Nine Passenger White made.
This car does the work and play of all your wagons
and touring combined, and lasts longer than any.

Why We Built This Practical,
Complete Car.

TIME automobile business has now reached the
point where sentiment has given way to reason.
- The earliest designs of cars followed the model of
horsedrawn vehicles. Then came the present design
with engine in 'front.' and seating in carriage body A.
S, people, according to size and price. But this
type now common, has provision for any extra
passengers light baggage. On the other hand
there many times when you drive alone with only
one passenger, but the big empty tonneau you find
less for any practical purposes because of the fixed
impractical carriage body. This condition of affairs
with thousands of owners has made place for the
White Combination Car.

From California,

Geo. H. Meissner, one of the for
mer we'll known farmers of north
Cass township, now of Petaluma,
California, says in the course of a
business letter to the Freeman rib-
bune:
ut is pleasing to note Iowa 8
great prosperity, Hamilton county's
fine corn crop and that most of the
boys harvest nowadays with auto
mobiles. I don't know what we are
going to do about your continued
good weather. You may quit COM
ing to see us and may take the tariff
off our fruit. We hope to have some
climate left If oranges do freeze a
little"
Mr.. Meissner came to Hamilton
county perhaps forty years ago. He
had farm of more than thousand
acres ten miles northeast of this
city. Some of it he got from the
government at s1.25 per acre and
some of it he acquired from other
owners at very low prices. He still
owns some of this land. 800 acres
of it was sold year or so ago at
$165 per acre and it would probably
bring SITS today. Mr.. Meissner was
one Of the best farmers who ever
titled Hamilton county soil and he
had the finest farm home in the
county thirty years ago, having
built house that must have cost
$1,000 or $4,000. He was also one
of the best men and citizens who ev-
er lived in this or any other COM
munity. The Freeman-Tribune is
glad to know that he IS prospecting
in California and hopes he will live
yet many years to enjoy the fruits
of his well directed energies.
