Cheshire Farms Sinking
Several Inches a Year;
Salt Mines RESPONSIBLE

Chester Eng, May 2s.-Farmers IN
large area OF Cheshire have their
work complicated by the fact that
the surface OF their farms Is stead
lily sinking at 2 rate reaching in
many places several inches yearly.
This subsistence occurs in the dis
triet OF the great salt mines. The
salt deposits are about 400 feet be-
low the surface, and there Is every
where at this depth a total thickness
of at least 200 feet OF salt. The grad
ual removal Of the salt Is the cause
of the subsistence of the land.
The salt is mined by means of
pumps. Water is allowed TO flow
into the salt beds, where Il becomes
saturated with Salt In this condi-
ton it is pumped to the surface and
fresh water flows IN to take its
place. The subsistence Of the surface
is most marked in the immediate Vi
cinity Of each pumping center.

The Riker Truck
designed by and named for

Chief Engneer Of the Locomobe Company
America Member of United States Naval Consulting
Board and Chairman of the Committee on Internal
Combustion Motors
Now on Display
in this City

This wdr has proved to motor
truck makers and users what
happens to a truck when it is
dri0en hard in unspdnng service.
1t is estimated on good au-
thority that sixty-three per cent.
of all shipments hauled from
factory to train-to boat-or
across the city are subjected to
some unforeseen cost by conges-
ton of the streets, or by inef-
ficiency or actual break down
of equipment.
Men In all lines of business
are hunting better and more
economical transportation.
Never before in the history of
American business has there
been a greater demand for a
dependable and economical
motor truck.
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1917-06-02

This condition, many lead
ing business men are finding, is
met by A. L. Riker with his
latest achievement, the Riber
Truck "a war tested truck, a
truck developed from the lessons
of the war, made by the Loco
mobile Company of America
unquestionably and incontest-
ably the best built truck in
America.
These men found a chrome
nickel steel frame in the Riker
Truck, instead of structural
steel as used IN the frames of
most trucks. Chrome nickel
steel costs about 80 cents a
pound-stTuctural steel 1Ocents
pound.

is in the Riker Truck.
They found springs of silico
manganese steel the best
made here or abroad.
They found transmission
gears, propeller shafts, driving
axle, of chrome nickel steel.
Mr.. Riker could have used
high grade alloy or even select
ed steel, but the severe usage Of
these parts demanded chrome
nickel steel.

well Announced for This Month

Announcement has been made by
the Buquor Motor company that the
recent Maxwell national economy run
was so satisfactory that another con-
test will be started during the week
of June 10 to 1s and wiz be open
TO all Maxwell owners - well as
dealers.
The prizes Will consist OF $50. 900 Of

ter than 81 miles to the gallon OF
