WAR TEACHES THAT SMALL TRUCK MOTOR
 IS BETTER THAN BIG
(From Motor Age)

Trucks still are lacking in many pertinent respects. The motors are too large. What is needed is a four cylinder motor with bore of 3.75 to inches. There are not many trucks in America that use motors of this size for or 3-ton trucks, and yet the verdict of the present war to date is that these dimensions are enough, and that they are better than the larger sizes.
 This war already is making Flu rope think better of American prod ucts than it ever did before. Our magnetos are interchangeable; so are many of our carbureters. Our

solid tires are much further stand ardized than are those of Europe. in fact. Europe has opposed stand ardization as practiced by many American engineers. For war pur- poses the standardized part is a ne cessity. Instead of carrying d dozen different makes of magnetos for as many different trucks. a few makes can be used. One large European concern recently placed an order for 800 American magnetoS. and has de- clared that they are up to the standard of European products and quieter in action.
 With the small motor is needed the four speed gearbox. with low speed that is equal to an emergency. a speed that will take the loaded truck over any bit of road surface that is encountered.
 Accessibility is the biggest lesson to date of the war Magnetos must be accessible and they must be in terchangeable: the same applies to carbureters The war is making it imperative that interchangeabllity of parts be provided
 Road clearance is q greater factor than heretofore given credit for. Roads will wear out in France, Ger many and Belgium, and as they wear into ruts clearance is more and more essential. The American truck has the advantage of the European product in this respect
 The four wheel drive vehicle Is coming into it's own in certain parts of the war.

Stokes went to Florida. Down in
Florida, you know, d man gets ten
acres Of land for a song. Houses

amazing. You just scratch it with a
hoe or something and scatter a few
seeds and pretty soon you are ship
ping grape fruit by the carload and

is enough for any man. Fine living.
But something must have been wrong
with Stokes. Despite the fact that he
was a good worker here, he doesn't
seem to make 1t go down there.
It's hard to understand. Iowa, Of
course, is a hard state to live in. So
much hard work. Cost Of living so
high. How does 1t come when a man
gets a chance like that in a country
where people live easy, and nature
supplies practically all human wants
that he can't be satisfied? Why should
these folks be possessed to get back
to Iowa? OF course, johnson, who
went to Canada and froze both feet
while stufing hay into a stove trying
to keep warm, had some excuse, but
what's the matter with those people
who go where ten acres is enough for
any man and where people don't have
to work and dig like they do in Iowa?

THE PREACHER'S PAY.

We often hear the pessimist say that "most all ministers are
preaching for what there is in it, - comments the Sisseton Standard,
which adds: IF that were true most of them are receiving blooming
small pay. But it is not ~
We are not inclined to rush to a defense of the preachers,-most
OF them have pulpns of their own in which they are privileged to
make their defense if one were needed;-but we may say that we are
somewhat disposed to agree with our Sisseton contemporary in its
conclusion that the pessmist is not exactly right i'll his arraignment
OF the preachers a S a class.
When We get down to the essence of the thing no small proper
ton of us are doing what the pessimist accuses the ministers of doing
preaching for what there is in it Assuredly we can't expect
the preachers to preach for nothing and board themselves any more
than we can expect the lawyer to keep us out of jail and feed his own
face while he is doing it. > Ng%
Whether the average minister is preaching for what there is in
it need not be herein discussed, for the Simple reason that if the
charge were true there n not many of us who are in a real good
position to throw stones. 1t is reasonably certain that unless there's
"a bit of the filthy lucre forthcoming every once in a while, or in
reasonable prospect now and then, some other chap would have to
manipulate the keys of the typewriter on the editorial desk Of this
great family journal.
Come to think of it, what's the pessimist doing for an honest
living and what is he getting for it?

Jones is still in California. He
isn't doing much with the orchard,
but it certainly is a delightful climate
where q man may live easy if he has
q little permanent income. The farm
he sold for 800 an acre sold the other
day for s225. Thompson came back
from Montana a few months ago to
buy the old farm back. The $1,000
income per year hadn't materialized.
He found that what he could sell the
fruit ranch for would buy less than

governments. All of the orders were
of the rush" variety, and most of
the mills are running day and night.
Prices averaged about SO a dozen
for the socks and $3.50 each for the
sweaters.
In addition, it was learned by the
canvass that Lacrosse concern
had refused an order for 100000
sheepskin coats rendered by the

ial caused the declination. One
Racine factory said it had been fore
ed to refuse contracts for woolen
goods for European armies because

WILL DEPRIVE COUNTIES OF TAX
Ruling Of Court on Taxation Of In.
herited Lands Reduces Revenue.

oklahoma City, Nov 2G.-ln the
appealed case OF Callie Marcy from
the ruling Of the county commits
sioners of Seminole county, involving
tax on inherited Indian lands, the
supreme court has set a rule that
will deprive some counties of Okla.
homa of considerable revenue. The
opinion J by Justice Bleakmora.
and answers the question that is
presented in the case as the sole
issue and set forth as follows:
THE sole question determinatiye of
this case is, are lands allotted to a
full-blood member of the Seminole
tribe of Indians, exclusive of his
homestead inherited at his death by
his full blood Indian heirs, exempt
from taxation while owned and held
by such heirs"
The court answers this question in
the following paragraph of syllabi:
The power to tax inherited Indian
lands is coincident with and depend
ent upon alienation and prior to the
approval of conyeyances Of full blood
Indian heirs under the provisions of
said act by the proper court the
power to TAX said lands does not
exist"
The rule laid down in this case
will no doubt apply to all inherited
Indian lands in the former Indian
Territory, and will operate to retain
the restrictions against taxation so
long as the lands are held by the In
dian heirs of the deceased Indian al
lottee
