MONEY IN A TRUCK
SAYS A HUCKSTER

Down in Arizona, a Gardener, Gets
Over Bad Roads with a Maxwell
Travels 100 Miles a Day, and One
Motor Car, He Says, will do the
Work of Several Men. and Teams
for Less Money.
Hucksters are fast finding the one
ton Maxwell truck money maker for
them far beyond their ability when
teams and wagons are exclusively
used. One instance that serves as an
example of what huckster may ac-
complish by adopting motor truck
transportation is the case of AL
Keegan, of Phoenix, Ariz. Keegan
plies his trade of vegetable vender
between Phoenix and Avondale. For
years he had used a double team and
wagon. Often the Arizona roads were
so difficult of navigation that it was
impossible for team and wagon to
get over them to town with a load.
He bought one of the powerful
Maxwell one-ton trucks. Whether the
roads are in good condition or not,
Keegan always arrives in Avondale
and Phoenix on time with his garden
truck. Here is Keegan's opinion:
"When you consider that this truck
will cover 100 miles in an ordinary
working day and that the upkeep is
considerable less than that of a team
and wagon, it is extremely economi-
cal. Especially since one man and a
Maxwell truck will do the work of
several horses and their drivers"
Many such perplexing problems are
being satisfactorily settled by the
powerful one-ton trucks.

FOOD IMPERATIVELY
NEEDED IN FRANCE
If Every Ounce is Saved, America
VIII Not Have More
than Enough

Washington, Oct. 16-''In the name
of Liberty save food" is the message
given to the people of this country
through the National Emergency
Food Garden Commission today by
Raymond James Whitney, an ambu-
lance driver from the Verdun front
who went to an Atlantic port to sail
for France.
Whitney, whose home is IN Bed
ford, Indiana. has just completed
flying visit home and he stopped in
Washington long enough to call upon
the National Emergency Food Gar
den Commission to ask that the peo-
pie be again urged to conserve every
ounce of food. Whitney is in the
American Field Service and is taking
back 20 pounds of sugar to Mrs. Van
derbilt, so scarce is the lump article
over there. He woa the War Cross
for work at the front.
"The declaration of war by -Presi-
dent Wilson," said Whitney, "saved
the world from the kaiser in my opin.
ion, for from my observation of
year and a half in the wars fercest
fighting there was nothing that could
possibly have put the pep into the
battle front as that did. Men and
women kissed US Americans and wept
whenever they met US.
"Food is the thing and the conser-
vation department of the American
Forestry Association is doing a great
work in its campaign far war gar
dens. Keep it up for you viii need it
next year too. The Forest Regiment
will do a great work over there for
the cleaning up that has to be done in
that wrecked country will be a big
job.
"At a restaurant today I saw
waiter dump half pitcher Of cream
and part of a square of butter in a
cup half full of coffee. In Europe he
would be shot for that. The boys at
the front will do their part if you
folks at home win do yours and if you
could see what have seen you would
feel like shooting any one who wastes
food now"

HOMER RODGERS

News comes of the death of Homer
Rodgers, an Ocala boy in France.
Homer was the son of Mr.. Allan Rod
city. He went away some fifteen
years ago and made his home for
awhile in Jacksonville, returning for
few months in 1912 to drive car
for Mr.. R. S. Hall, after which he re-
turned to Jacksonville. The partic-
ulars of his death have not been re-
ceived, nor is it known when he went
to France, but as he was driving an
ambulance and was splendid chauf-
feur, he must have done good service,
He was brave and high-spirited boy
and those who mourn may also be
proud of him.

PRESIDENT WILSON
AT EXHIBITION DRILL

The Star owes the following inter
esting story to Mrs. Emily Green,
who received the particulars from an
eyewitness of the event:
The President and Mrs. Wilson
motored to Washington barracks Sat
urday afternoon, accompanied by
Miss Bones, Miss Benham, Mrs. Nc
Adoo, wife of the secretary of the
treasury, Col. Clarence S. Ridley, the
military aid to the president and his
wife, where they joined brilliant
assembly composed of number of
foreign diplomats, foreign officers,
members of the navy camps, nearly
all of the army officers stationed in
the rity, General and Mrs. Tasker
Carroll Fraser, and the leading So
ciety people of Washington, and wit
messed the unique drill of the Sixth
Regiment of Engineers under the di-
rection of Col. VIM. S. Hats, COM
mandant of the barracks. 1t was the
first time the president had seen the
American army at work and he fol-
lowed the engineers with the keenest
interest as they performed the thrill
ling work of trench warfare, includ-
ing "going over the top" cutting thru
wire entanglements and using the
bayonet in the "enemy" trenches just
as they will upon the fields in France.
Following the drill the dancing
season of Washington opened with a
tea dance in the officers club of the
barracks, which was beautifully dec
Grated with many flags from the cell
ing and walls, while the mantels
were banked with ferns and chrysan-
themums. The entire entertainment,
which brought together the elite Of
Washington and was a great success,
both financially and socially, was un-
der the auspices of the woman's COM
mittee for engineers, which provides
knitted garments for engineer SOL
diers.
Corporal Edward B. Green of this
city, is a member of the 9Th Regi-
ment of Engineers and his company
also has the distinction of having sub
scribed for $4,000 worth of the new

WHAT LIBERTY
BOND BUYERS GET

Q. If I pay in full for $50, 500,
$500 or $1,000 bond, do / receive the
bond?
A. Yes; you will receive a bond
dated November Is, 1917. and bearing
interest from that date. You will
receive it within a short time after
your payment has been made.
Q. If this bond is a coupon bond,
will it have the coupons attached?
A. The bond which you will re-
ceive will have four coupons attached,
covering the semi-annual interest for
a period of two years. After Novem.
Der Is, 1919, and before May Is, 1920,
the holder will have an opportunity
to exchange this bond for a new bond
having a full set of coupons.
Q. Why are bonds issued in this
way?
A. The work of engraving bonds
with large number of coupons at
tached is so great that bonds can not
be ready for delivery to purchasers
within a reasonable time except by
reducing the number of coupons.

BUSINESS THRIFT IN
LIBERTY BONDS
Every Person who Buys One will
Have Begun to Provide Against
Misfortune or Old Age
Especial to the Starr

New York, Oct. 16.-"A Liberty
Bond is a diploma in the school of
thrift" declared S. w. Straus, presi-
dent of the American Society for
Thrift, in statement to the members
of that organization ga subscription
to this issue is the best way to begin
thrifty life" Secretary McAdoo is
asking for subscriptions from 10000
900 Americans. If he is successful in
this feature of the loan it will mean
that thousands of our citizens have
for the first time in their lives begun
the accumulation of something for old
age or the rainy day.
"Let me appeal especially to the
man or woman who has gone along
thus far in life with absolutely moth
ing laid by. Not only does your coun-
try need your help in this matter but
you need it even more. This Liberty
Loan is going to be a success, for
America knows not how to fail, but
you will arise to this opportunity. A
Liberty Bond or two tucked away in
a safety deposit vault will bring you
more pleasure than the same amount
invested in any other way. Once
saver always a saver. The person
who hasn't enough moral stamina to
save money for such a cause as this
is pretty apt to be a failure in life
Prove your worth and give your own
future a chance by subscribing for
this loan. You need it as much as it
needs you"

PREPARING TO STRIKE
At PETROGRAD
BOches Evidently Intend to Make the
Gulf of Riga Strong
Naval Base
ASSOCIATED Press)

While the entrance of the Germans
into the Gulf of Riga presents a SER
ious situation for the Russians, Rus
sian naval authorities do not believe
the movement will be extended this
fall because of the lateness of the
season. With preponderance of
German naval strength in the Baltic,
there is little to prevent them from
making the Gulf of Riga virtually a
German lake and solidifying it for a
strong naval base from which mill
tary operations could be successfully
launched.
The situation on the other battle
fronts is virtually unchanged, ac-
.cording to official reports. The Gerz
mans are laying stress on the heavy
British bombardment in Flanders.
Bad weather and mu dare big factors
there.
Fighting on the French front is
confined almost entire to the artil-
lery.
The number of British casualties
are decreasing. Last weeks total
was $4,000 compared with 1900 for
the week previous and $1,000 the
week before that.

CAMP AND COMMUNITY
An Excellent Plan by Which They
May Become Acquainted
Especial to the Starr

Washington, Oct. 16-Mr. Busi-
ness Man, do you know business
friend in a city or town near mil
itary training camp, and boy from
your home town in that camp whom
you would like to make happy? If
so, make the two acquainted with
each other. Send the young soldier a
note of introduction to the business
man, and at the same time write to
the latter, giving him the name of
the soldier.
This is the suggestion made by the
War Camp Community Recreation
Service, whose purpose is to provide
for all the men in training wholesome
social activities and bring camp and
community together in happy,
healthy way. Every American is be-
ing asked to "do his bit" in welcom-
ing the soldier and in making his lot
while away from home and its friend
ships, little less lonesome.
AS an illustration of work along
this line, attention was called at the
national headquarters of the War
Camp Community Service here today,
to little printed slips which are being
sent out by business men in some
cities with their mail. A sample from
Atlanta reads:
Atlanta. Ca.
Dear Sir: If a boy in whom you
are deeply interested should be sta
toned at Camp Gordon or Fort Nc
Pherson, (both places near Atlantal !,
at any time during the war, will
consider it a personal favor if you
will give him a letter of introduction
to me, and have him look me up, so
that can help to make his stay more
pleasant when he is off duty. Do not
hesitate to do this, as it will be a
pleasure, to serve you and yours.
Sincerely,
Issued by the Atlanta Commission
on Training Camp Activities.
