USE OF MOTOR ,,. TRUCKS MEANS
 CHEAPER FOOD
Investigation Shows That Displacement of Horses
 Effects Saving Grain.

Much has been said about the economic factor in the use of motor trucks as opposed to animal trans portation, but little has been shown in the way of specific instances where savings have been wrought through the use of the power wagon. In an investigation conducted re-
 gently at Bennington, Vermont, it
 was found that III. w. Meyers &
 Son, dealers in coal and feed, have
 been effecting saving of $11 a day in employing a two-ton truck for making their deliveries
 This information was gained l through accurate records Of horse and truck operations covering a per iod of six months. It was further shown by these records that the two 1 ton truck had performed $50 per cent more work than any of the firms teams on the same type of de- 1 liveries. This has been accomplish
 ed at an additional cost of but 20 per cent over the expense of two 1 horses.
 Taking these figures as a basis
 two-ton truck performs the work of l 311 teams The cost of the horses is figured at $178.13 a month, or | $5.93 per day. Three and half
 teams would cost $20.77 per day. The monthly cost of truck operation is put at s213.17 or $7.10 per day. Even | including the wages of helper on l the truck this form of transportation would be $11 a day cheaper than by 1 the use of teams for the same work. Figures submitted by the American Woolen company show that this con-
 cern was enabled to cut its delivery
 costs considerably through the sub stitution of motor power for horses 1 FOG per ton compared with an aver age 34c per ton for motor haulage,
 saving of fifty per cent. These 1 figures, however do not include costs
 of depreciation, insurance or interest. | By adding these costs to the motor
 truck operation alone, the power ve- hicle will still show saving of 12c
 per ton.
 Extensive research among team
 sters and municipal experts show
 that each heavy draft horse con-
 sumes 5 A tons of hay and 1S0 bush
 els of oats every year. Continuing
 along this line of investigation the
 number of acres required to feed
 each horse was determined The
 amount of grain this would grow and
 the number of loaves of bread that
 could be produced from the flour
 thus obtained were also shown. It
 was notable fact that the elimina-
 tion of the horse as an element in
 commercial haulage would effect a great economy in the conduct of the
 worlds business besides marking a
 distinct forward step in the advance
 ment of our industrial life.

RUN BILL, UNCLE SAM'S COMING.

Here's to the kaiser in old Berlin, With his men in the trenches with all their vim. He's strong, and he prays to God to : win , But when Uncle Sam gets ready, then he'll begin. There isn't but one thing, and that is true,
 For Uncle Sam to get in and see what he can do. He'll make things look scary for the Germans too, r But lookout-Kaiser Bill-when he gets after you. The Germans all say the 'Sammies are
 a fake,
 But we are proud to know that this i. is a mistake. When we get in France the battle
 lines we'll break
 We do not want the Germans, but
 the kaiser we'll take. They are fighting in the trenches and
 the submarine warfare,
 Cheer up, Uncle Sammy, your boys
 do not care, Well sail across the water-the Sam mics do not fear, With the Stars in Old Glory, we'll come marching back here. -J. Dugan. Pine Bluff, Aug. 30, 1917.

 "lndeX figures on the cost of living have remained approximately sta tionary for the past few weeks: some what below the high mark registered at the end of May.

 Building permits in Louisville, Memphis, and St. Louis, for July, 1917, show decrease as compared to July, 1916, while Little Rock shows slight increase. Generally speaking, all building is restricted, due in part 'to the prohibitive cost of building ma terials and in part to the scarcity of labor.

WAR DEMANDS ARE EXHAUSTING SUPPLY
 0F LEAD AND SILVER
Bar Silver Touches Within 2 Gents of Highest Mark; !; Lead Sells At l2la Cents 8 Pound, New Record.
(By Review Leased wireJ

NEW YORK, June 12.-War de mands. which long ago virtually swept the market bare of spot copper, are rapidly diminishing the market sup plies of silver and lead. Bar silver rose to Y cents an ounce today, an advance of 21s over the price of the early part of the month and within two cents of the extreme price of last February Quotations for lead varied, some producers asking 121s cents a pound, the highest price for 30 years, although II cents was quoted by the more extensive dealers.
 The entrance of the United States into the war has given additional inn petus to the demand for all baser met als, it is said, in trade circles, but lead has been among the last to feel the effect of this stimulus.
 Demand for silver has become more acute from various sections, which contributed their quota of the metal to the European markets are no longer operating their mines. In creased supplies of silver have recently come out of the Mexican mines but the de mand for the metal for war purposes is still in excess of supply.

 SPRINGFIELD, Mo, June 12.-Four members of the Adams family and Sam McGinnis, held in Missouri jaiis in connection with various alleged ab- duction plots here. late today were charged with conspiring to kidnap C. A. Clement, Springfield jeweler in an information filed here by Paul M. O'Day. county prosecutor.
 None of the five or Claude Piersol. the other man held. has been formally charged with implication in the kid mapping and death of Baby Rect, son of J. H. Rect, banker of Springfield.
 The search for the murderer of the infant continues unrelenting, however and beneath the apparent composure of Springfield there is an undercur- rent of feeling that makes it unwise, according to the authorities, to return the prisoners here.
 Three members of the Adams fam fly, Mr and Mrs. B. Adams and their ton. Cletus Adams, also named in the information is in a Kansas City jail with Piersol.
 All the Adams are alleged to have confessed to knowledge of the Gle ment plot Other developments il connection with the alleged attempt tC kidnap a Springfield baby and a St Louis munitions manufacturer are eX pected soon. Another man whose name has not been made public is helt by the authorities.

2 or 8 drops of "Gets-It" on the corn right away. Pain and inflammation will disappear, the corn will begin to shriv- ell from that instant-then is loosens and falls right off.
 There's no other corn-remover in the world that acts, like "Gets-It." No new discovery has been made in corn removers since "Gets-It" was born. Don't forget that fact. "Gets-It' does away forever with the use of salves that irritate, bandages that make a bundle of your toe, plasters that half do the work, knives and scissors that draw blood. Use "Gets-It"-no more digging or cutting.
 "Gets-It" is sold everywhere, 25c a bottle, or sent on receipt of price by E. Lawrence & Co, Chicago, III.
 Sold in Bisbee and recommended as the worlds best corn remedy by Phelps Dodge Mercantile Company.
