Practice vs. Theory Tested by the War

Now, for the first time since the 'Riker Truck was introduced "a few are available for the business man in general.
 Many a business man who has need for only a single truck and who has been hesitating to buy a fine motor truck, should see the Riker Truck - the best built truck in America.
 The price of the Riker Truck is about the same as for other trucks, but every man who operates a mech anical equipment of any kind knows that the better built a mechanism the more economical it Is to run.
Arizona republican., 1916-07-16

Up to August, 1914, there was a theory in the Auto mobile World that a truck that was giving service for business purposes could be depended on for war con- ditions.
 Six months war eXperl- ence proved that this is not true.
 But turn the theory around and it works out in practice:
 The truck that holds up in war service is ideally serviceable in business traffic.
 For instance, in many business trucks that were put into war service, the shifting of. the heavy load strained the axle housings.
 In other cases they strip ped the teeth off the gears.
 It is the unexpected that is always happening.
 Men with the best inten- tions in the world often see only one or two things at a time.
 But in no profession in the world is the faculty of seeing the thing as a whole more important than in motor truck design.
 As an example, the Schnieder trucks in Paris, which automatically left the bus service and delivery work and became armed wagons when war was declared, are mostly all running.
 Why? Because the for eign governments, clever and prepared, had arrang- ed for certain standards in design and material.
 A truck that is worth while for war Is worth while for business.
 One reason, perhaps, why the Governments of Eur ope took all the Riker Trucks that could be built - except a few that had been secured in advance by big business in America. For Further Information Ad

There is more high grade material used in the Riker Truck than in any other truck in America.
 Chrome-nickel steel in frame, in gears, in propeller shaft, in driving aXles.
 The frame oversize the transmission gears extra wide and extra large - the propeller shaft and driving axle very large - the cen ter housing of the rear axle massive.
 Special metals, and com petent engineering make the Riker Truck not only the strongest but the light est truck of its rated capacity.
 All the parts are access ible.
 It is easy to get at - easily st art e d - easily steered and driven.
 Some day you are going to need a motor truck. But whether it is now or a year from now, you will be in terested in seeing how A. L. Riker has applied his engineering principles to the truck problems of mod ern business - the Riker Truck, made by the Loco mobile Company - the best built truck in America.

ence tends to the contrary. The expe-
rience of Rockland, Me, seems to bear
out the belief that infantile paralysis is
highly contagious, for there has been one
death and there are is cases under quar-
antine in that small city Moreover,
there have been SO cases in Rockland
since early August. 1t is worthy of note
that all health authorities, national,
state and local, follow the same action,
which is, to quarantine the cases immedi-
ately, just as has been done in Rockland.
Strict quarantine seems to have been eff
fective in Brooktield in our own state,
because no more cases have broken out
there following the deaths of two chill
dren in one family more than two weeks
ago. That community, as we'll as the
surrounding towns, is to be congratulate
ed on the apparent escape from serious
epidemic of the disease. Indeed, the
whole state has been fortunate in that

was raging in surrounding states to the
south and west, and, to lesser extent,
on the east. We feel confident that strict

ported is responsible for this compare
tive freedom from the disease, basing
our opinion on the belief that infantile
paralysis is contagious.

April q, 1916,
The law provides that the name OF
each surviving person who had served
in the military or naval service of the
/ United States in any war and who had
attained the age of IS years and had
been awarded a medal of honor for hav-
ing sin action involving actual conflict
with the enemy distinguished himself
lconspicuously by gallantry or intrepid
ty at the risk of his life, above and be-
yond the call of duty" should be entered
and recorded on such a roll. 1t was fur
ther provided that upon proper certiti-
cation to the commissioner of pensions
by the secretary of war or the secretary
OF the navy special pension of $40
month should be allowed for each per-
son whose name had thus been placed
upon the roll of honor.
Up to date 1870 special pensions have
been allowed, including the twelve just
recorded 1t is believed in the bureau
of pensions that about 200 persons will
become benefciaries of the new act.

Peter Alexander, baggage master at

any training in Scotland Yard nor yet
had any particular leaning toward the
detection of crime. Nevertheless when
the occasion arose last night, he proved
himself to be something of sleuth and
had the satisfaction of restoring to two
Barre Young men coats which We're stolen
from them at Washington fair Tuesday.
Hurrying home in the early evening, Mr..
Alexander glimpsed pair of strangers
who wore overcoats curiously in accord
with the description of missing garments
furnished him by Thomas Nelson and
Leonard Lander. Alexander followed the
strangers to the station. There they
were Joined by other strangers and when

William Howard Taft, Ok president Of
the United States now weighs only 266
pounds 1--WE use the word "only" advis.
edlyl, and he attributes his loss in avoir-
dupois to the game of golf Undoubtedly
it was due to golf but chiefly to the fact
that he persisted in the game through
thick and thin, through sunshine and
storm, Heavily built persons who take
to the game in the hope OF reducing too
often tire of the effort and go play the
10th hole in congenal company. Not so
with Taft; he not only appreciates the
benefit OF persistent exercise but he likes
the game as we'll Hence he reduces to
266 pounds the lightest weight for him in
many, many years. His method might
well be followed by great many other
persons.

The management of the Washington
fair was fortunate in having no immedi-
ate competition and also in being blessed
with natures best brand of autumn
weather, the result being that the annual
exhibition staged in the little Orange
county town was one of the most sue
cessful ever held both in point of attend
ance and in the degree of excellence of
the various features presented. The
management OF the Washington fair does
not profess to have the greatest and best
agricultural exhibition in the state, but
it does strive to represent fairly well the
agricultural interests of its field of OPP
Grafton in three counties-or parts of
three counties-Orange, Washington and
Caledonia The fair can be made even
more representative with the co-opera-
ton which seems to be promised it by
the largely increased attendance of the
exhibition just held; and in meeting that
aim the Washington county fair should
continue to be real old fashioned coun-
ty fair. Therein lies its particular mag
netism.

WILLIAMSBURG
Fire Started by Burning Wasp Nest De-
stroyed 200 White Pine Trees.

| Fire was discovered in Judge Beckett's
north woods about o'clock yesterday
afternoon and when the fire fighters ar
rived they found about an acre in flames
and the fire spreading rapidly among
the underbrush, working up the hill in a
northeasterly direction towards the wood
lands OF Martin Erskne and lIaden JEFF
fords. Fortunately for all, there was no
wind. After an hour Of hot fighting the
men reported that they had succeeded in
digging out the tire. The loss was about
200 of the white pines planted last
spring. At the place where the fire be-
gan, the men discovered a Wasp's nest,
which had hung on low tree, had been
burned, and the remnants showed plain
y upon the burned ground. Watchmen
remained at the place during the night.
At u meeting of those interested in
forming community chorus held in the
parlors of the Congregational church last
night. it was decided to proceed with the
matter. An executive committee was APP
pointed, consisting OF Rev. John Irons,
Mrs. A. A. Reed, Miss Arlene Jeffords,
Rev. George W. Keeling and James II.
Nalbrldge. George ii. Hoodflch was eject
ed chorister and Mrs. A. a. Reed organ
ist. 1t was agreed to have member
ship fee Of 50 cents for the year and Mrs, !
Emma Warner was elected treasurer.
Weekly meetings will be held on Tuesday
evening, commencing Oct II, and the
first objective of the chorus will be the |
presentation Of Christmas cantata next |
December All wishing to join will be |
heartily welcome.
There will be an alfalfa demonstration |
meeting at w. NJ. Seayer's Friday after

evening to discuss the possibility Of a
