The sensational futurity trotter of 1907 was the bay colt General Watts. which Mike BoweTman raced in the futurities. He won his first victory at Readville in the Horse Breeder Flu turity. in which he took a record of 2.09 1-4. He won the Horse Review Futurity at Columbus and in the Ken lucky Futurity defeated the supposed ly invincfble Kentucky Todd. The following week he won the Kentucky Stake. and took a record of 2.06 3-4. new worlds record for three-year- old trotters. a record which he held for many years.

The greatest futurity lilly which has ever appeared is the unbeaten 1915 youngster, Mary Putney 2.05 1-2, winner of the Horse Review, Horse man and Kentucky Futurities. This Ally was bred at the Walnut Hall Farm and sold as a yearling at the Madison Square Garden sale in New York for less than s1,00G. Just pre- vious to starting the past season she was sold for S5,000, and she won her new owner approximately S18,0G0, also securing the worlds three-year- old Ally record of 2.05 1-2. This is but a sample of the youngsters turned out by the famous speed nursery at Done rail.
 "A champion every year. is the slo- gan of that wizard among colt train CTS, Hunter Moody, of Lexington, Ky. He is a specialist in his line. His line is training the youngsters and as results are what a specialist must be judged by, the man from the Blue Grass has gained title to the place at the top. During the season of 1915 Moody drove no fewer than four youngsters to championship records, three yearings and one two-year- old. The latter was the brown colt, Sul- dine PIP, which Moody drove to a record of 2.13 1-4 over a half-mile track, this being by far the fastest mile ever negotiated by one of his age over a two-lap track. As a yearling Moody gave this colt a record of PA 1-4, and he was money winner in the stakes for his age the past sea son.

 try's manufactured products.
 One of the causes for the rapid utilization of the motor truck by New Englanders Is the fact that there are many comercial centres, close together, connected by highways on which anil mal transportation was largely car ried on, and which, when trucks be- came practical vehicles, impelled their use because of the saving of time and labor. Long distance would have been discouraging, but the demands of the people for the building of roads and the Improvements of those existing for the use of pleasure cars results in haulage undertakings that were found to br profitable and advantageous from many points of view.
 Haulage Problems of Industry.
 One of the reasons for the early de- velopment of the section as atruck market was the fact that 1t contains many manufacturing plants which have haulage problems to which the truck is especially adapted It has the best and most highly developed roads of any section of the country. It is so densely populated and that towns are very close together and there is much intercourse between them of a kind that makes motor trucking prac- tically necessity.
 New England is the leader of the de- velopment of the mtor truck industry for many reasons, but chief among these is the fact that it has the largest ratio of trucks to population to be found anywhere in the world. This is substantial evidence that this is a section of the country that purchases and utilizes freight carrying vehicles more than any other, and a demon stration of the progressiveness of that clas of men who has made New Eng land industrially the bee hive of the nation.
 Thus at the present time. when there are 100000 trucks in use in all parts of the United States. New England which contains a little less than seven per cent. of the population, has about one-fifth, or 20 per cent. of them.

Operating expense of s14.5s for the motor fire apparatus used by the city of St. Cloud, Minn., is reported by Chief L. A. Moosebrugge for 1915. The truck covered 113.6 miles running to fires and 10.36 miles in practise. Had horses been kept the expense, of course, would have been enormously greater. This illustrates strikingly the economy of motor apparatus in small cities where runs are not ire quent. Interest on the investment in motor apparatus does not begin to equal the difference in the cost of up keep and operation.

Practically every producer of motor

PEOodSGE VI "o1of vehicles for passenger or commercial purposes reports an unprecedented rush of orders received in January and February. This is undoubtedly due in part to more active buying by the public, which was very marked at the New York and Chicago shows.
 But to a far greater extent it is due to the fact that dealers are frightened by the situation that is looming up before them for spring business. The reports of material and parts short ages, as we'll as the acute situation as to railway cans, convinces the deal CTS that they will have every little chance of securing delivery on ma chimes that were not ordered early.
 They learn that many of their com petitors are already unable to get cars and they feel that if tLey have the vehicles on their floors they will be able to pick up business that would naturally go to some other dealer.
 The result is that practically every de2 ,ar is placing orders for as many we IS as he has capital to take care of = as his factory is willing to ac- cept. This is permitting the factories to run at full production at a time when they are usually not busy and it is enabling the railroads to spread their heavy load over as long a time as possible.
 It is an advantageous condition for the retail buyer, as it will enable him to get a truck which, if the dealers at this time were conservative and fear full of the future, he would not be able to buy later at any price.
 New England has been a leader in launching the motor truck industry, | just as 1t led the development of the pleasure car. The first power wagon designed and built for regular service was constructed in 1895 in Providence, l R. l., for the Shepard Company, which operates a department store, after an express wagon, converted by the ad- dition of a steam power plant and adapted for general purposes, had been found to be a failure largely from lack | of traction because of the use of steel 1 tires.
 New England has been noted for the men of mechanical genius whose example stimulated others to accom- plishments, and the keenest competi- | ton impelled the adoption of econ | omieS so necessary to success. It was a Rhode Island man, George Brayton
 who invented and operated the first
 successful internal combustion engine which was practical and was not enur-
 mously profitable because the inventor
 was nearly a generation ahead of the time for recognition of the worth o1
 his creation.
