LONGEVITY OF
 AUTO TRUCKS

That automobile trucks are plsl4 tically indestructihle is the opinion of Walter Melville Drennen of the Overland Motor company. He statsd that horses are out lived in usefulness by the modern auto truck.
 One of. the important claims We make for cur utility three-GEarter ton truck is it's longevity" said Mir. Dreinen. a few days ago. "As compared to the horse transportation methods. our trucks are practically indestructable, or at least so much longer lived than the horse that this faithful beast of burden makes a very poor showing. There are plenty of records available which show that horses used in rapid transportation service re- tam their efficiency fer only about two years. A Willys-Utility truck, if proper ly cared for, will last four or five times as long with no lost time for sickness or exhaustion and very little for repairs. The proper care of a truck doesn't
 mean that it has to be worked over all the time it Is not in service either A superficial daily inspection and a care- ful inspection once week gives the owner a thorough knowledge of just what condition his truck is In all the time. These daily and weekly inspec- tions in the aggregate do not require more than an hour or two and this 1 will take care of all adjustments and minor repairs necessary, too In oth- | CT words, the truck is practically trou- bleproof, for the ordinary every day care given to any piece of machinery will feep it in good shape almost in- definitely.
 "The horse must be watched and at tended to almost as carefully as a child. It must be fed and groomed at regular times, care must be taken in the quality and amount of food given, and there is always the possibility that
 overwork or unfavorable weather con ditions will result in a sick animal All these attentions increase the cost of horse maintenance. and they are all eliminated in operating and caring for a motor truck.
 'The truck Is never sick The ex- treme heat of summer and the excess sive cold or slippery streets of win ter have absolutely no effect upon it's
 mechanism or working power. It will travel as far and as fast on the hot test day in summer as it will when the
 weather is temperate. Slippery streets hold no terrors for it. It will play
 ahead through snow and over ice with out bit of trouble. The man who drives motor truck doesn't have to be
 an expert in his line. for anyone with
 common sense and ordinary intelli- gence can be taught in a very short time to take car of his machine prop erly. A horse driver cannot be chosen at random, for 1t is well known fact that careless or ignorant drivers can do more damage to their animals
 than the hardest work. There are many
 other points in which the truck is su-
 perior to the horse. aside from the ever-present fact that the motor ve-
 hicle will do more work in less time
 and for less money than is possible
 for its equine competitor"

VALUE OF OUTPUT LAST YEAR REACHED HALF BILLION AND
 WILL BE STILL LARGER THIS
 YEAR

The magical growth of the automo- bile industry is apparent when it is considered that the output of the mo- 1918 reacaed n value of S5OO.OO0,OOO md gave direct employment to upward of 100000 men. And this in practically only 15 years of existence
 The greatest gain in the number of automobiles manufactured in any one year over the previous year was in 1918 when 125.000 more motor cnrs were built and sold than in 1912. That the growth of the automobile industry is incomparable in the whole commercial world is shown by the fact that In 1905 only 25,OO0 automobiles were marketed md there were approximately J0O,0OO cars sold last year. Magical is the prop CT word to apply to automobile pro- ductiOn, for after 15 arduous years of existence it Is the second industry in the world.
 And there will be more automobiles manufactured and sold this year than Inst. The manufacturers have their fac tories well financed, adequately equipped and have regulations for wholesome industrial and merchandiz- ing transactions. They have no fear of a dimunition in the automobile market. In short, the desire to own a motor is stronger at the present time than ever before. And there are more people now who can afford autOmO- biIeS.

SCHOOLS TEST FARMERS, SEEDS

If Oklahoma has bumper crops

dered the farmers by the schools.
Throughout the state the teachers
and pupils have been Systematically
testing seeds for the planters in their
respective communities, according to
information received at the United
States bureau Of education. Every
teacher in the state has received
from State Superintendent Wilson a
scoring sheet on which to record the
tests. Seed from last yesr's crop is
reported to be particularly unreliable.
and agricultural experts sag there is
special need this year for some such
direct service as the schools have
offered.

"It will not only by a financial bene-

THE CITY ELECTION.

keokuk has PASSED through LIE
third election under the commission
form OF government and an entire new
set of officials will preside during
the next two years. Probably nc
election was ever held In the city in
which SO much interest was aroused
minister was an aspirant for the po'
sition of mayor, which is unusual in
city politics. The unexpected strength
developed by Rev. Sanders at the
primary indicated that he was form
liable candidate and directed by able
leaders. The fact that he led DIR.
Moorhead In the initial contest by 17G
votes also added to his importance as
an aspirant and encouraged his
friends. These facts aroused great
interest in the contest. The ener-
getic efforts Rev. Sanders put into his
campaign was also a source OF en-
| Encouragement to his supporters and he
showed his earnestness and virility
until the polls closed.
! The vote cast was the largest ever
recorded in city election.
While the personnel Of Keokuk has
changed greatly within the past TWEEN
ty years the sentiment in one respect
appears to remain the same. A lit
lie more than twenty years ago this
city elevated DR.. Moorhead to the
position Of mayor, and now after a
lapse of more than score of years
again calls him to the highest posi-
tion within the gift Of the voters with
the additional distinction and compli-
majority ever given a candidate for
the Office. This paper has abundant
faith in his ability and purpose to
give Keokuk the same economic,
sane and efficient service that mark
ed his former administration. and in
these worthy efforts he is entitled to
the support of every citizen.
Frank F. T. Schmidt demonstrated
that he could come back. and in the
councilman race he, Abou Ben Adam,
led all the rest. The voters evident.
ly felt like they wanted to right \
wrong and returned Mr.. Schmidt to
the council.
J. A. NJ. Collins retained his
strength developed at the primary
and went under the wire with a good
safe majority.
The feature OF the contest in the
councilman race was the remarkable
showing made by Commissioner
Hickey. Against him the warfare
was waged the hardest and his de.
feat was accomplished by the small
margin Of thirty votes. Hickey, after
/ the elimination Of Gray, had to carry
the burden Of the sins Of the admins
tration, whether real or imaginary,
and that made his fight al! the hard
err His long reign in office naturally
produced some opposition. Taking
everything into consideration, no
matter how much one may differ as
to Mr.. Hickey's methods and ability,
they must give him credit for being
strong politician.
Fred Overton, new in city politics
made a great race and revealed the
value Of personal so!icition and hard
work.

Go where glory waits thee.
But while fame elates thee,
Oh! still remember me.
When the praise thou meetest
To thine ear Is sweetest,
Oh! then remember me.
Other arms may press thee,
Dearer friends caress thee,
Sweeter far may be;
But when friends are nearest
And when joys are dearest,
Oh! then remember me.
When at eve thou rovest
BY the star thou lowest.
Oh! then remember me.
Think, when home returning.
Bright we've seen it burning,
Oh! thus remember me.
Oft as summer closes,
When thine eye reposes
On its lingering roses,
Once SO loved by thee,
Think Of her who wove them,
Her who made thee love them,
Oh! then remember me.
When, around the dying,
Autumn leaves are lying,
Oh! then remember me.
And, at night, when gazing,
On the gay hearth blazing,
Oh! then remember me.
Then, should music, stealing
All the souls OF feeting.
To thy heart appealing.
Draw one tear from thee
Then let memory bring thee
Strains used to sing thee,
Oh! then remember me.
