MOTOR TRUCK TO.
Be USED ON FARMS.
Of TEAMS
Regular Truck Hauling Sys-
TENS Between Towns Now
Popular With Many Com,
mercial Houses.

These are the days-this the time
when motor trucks are coming into
their own.
The time when efficient delivery was
merely a convenience has passed: it Is
now an absolute necessity--if business
maintains its standard during the next
few years. The Maxwell company il
endeavoring to promote the gospel of
greater efficiency in the use of trucks
and the famous ton truck Is the basis
of it's preaching.
At the present time 40 per cent of
the motor cars in the United States
are owned by farmers. These cars in
majority OF cases are first passenger
cars and then made to perform duty
as trucks
The farmer, however Is learning
that a truck. like the one-ton Max
well. lightens his work, releases ex-
pensive teams and Quickens his de-.
liveries to market. AS a means of
transportation the horse is only sec
ondary consideration.
SAVES HORSE FEED.
In rural communities the use of the
truck, and especially by farmers, re-
leases many acres of tillable land.
on these acres. will provide food for
many thousands of families, which or
dinarily goes into feed for horses.
One man and Maxwell ton truck
will do better work and more than
several wagons and teams and the ne
cessary drivers. 1t lowers operating
expenses.
A glance over the statistics furnish
ed by the quartermaster corps, United
States army will show the coming
need of motor trucks. The light,
strong motor truck will necessarily
be the popular truck For this reason
the Maxwell truck will be in stronger
demand every day.
That $4,000 soldiers require total
of 1929 cars when moved by railroad,
Is the opinion of railroad experts.
These include passenger, baggage box,
stock and flat cars. made up in 366
trains, with as many locomotives.
From these figures anyone may dis
cover the equipment required to move
100000 to 100000 men The figures
do not take notice of the train re-
quirement to move food and NUM-
tions.
CHEAP TRANSPORTATION.
Already there is some difficulty in
getting sufficient cars to move goods
from one part of the country to an
other part. In many cities this short
age in freight cars is being met by
the use of motor trucks. Such adap-
tation will increase with time.
Demonstrations have shown that the
motor truck is not only as convenient
but in many cases more economical
than rail shipments.
There Is regular truck hauling
system operated between New York
and Philadelphia. 1t works with per-
feet satisfaction and there is no delay
by switching as in train shipments
Where cities are near each other de-
livery of freight from one town to the
other may be done at very low cost
by motor trucks.

BLACK EMBROIDERY IS NEW
One Of the Novelties for Winter Is the
Somber Background of Linen
or Canvas.

One of the novelties in the embroid-
cry line is the work on black linen or
cnnvis. The colOrod embroidery on
this sOmbor background is particular
ly rich and effective, and the color
scheme can easily be made to match
any room or combination Of color
schemes, says writer in the Phlla-
delphIa North American. The long,
Hat pillow which are so much used on
the built-in benches about the fireplace
nre extremely attractive in black linen
decorated with bright red Oriental
poppies, or with cOlorful combination
of field flowers. Then Il scarf to
match for the library table is good,
and perhaps an embroidered cover for
II telephone book. The effect of these
black embroldcrles is not at all de-
pressing. On the contrary, they are
very rich and warm looking in win
ter room, and add just The attractive
note Of sombcrness.
IN the matter of stitches we are re-
turning once more to the styles Of al
most half century ago. For the old
fashioned satin stitch has returned
with renewed beauty. In some in
stances It II done with the extremely
fine silk which was practically the only
embroidery floss used or known by our
grandmothcrs, and in others, 1t Is done
with very heavy mercerlzed floss In
large, splashy patterns AS n result
of this difference in treatment and
materials, some Of the embroidery is
delicate ana as finely tinted rs n bit
Of china; this Is mostly used for small
tnhlc ccntcrs and purely ornamental
pieces. ON the other hand, the heav-
Ter work Is bold and only the fiat raw
tones of the colors are used. This last
is employed ON such utilitnrian pieces

of service bags ana eases.

PERTINENT FACTS ABOUT
OUR SEA SOLDIERS

When United States marines
were sent among the first to the
firing line in France, they were
upholding their historic record
and making good their slogan of
"First to Fight"
The United States Marine
corps was organized by an act
of the Continental Congress No
vemb1r 10, 1875, and is the old
est branch of the service.
United States marines hoisted
the American flag on foreign soil
for the first time, when, in 1903,
at Dorne, Tripoli, they took that
stronghold.
They stormed Chapultepec In
tho Mexican war of 1S47.
They were at the battle Of
BuI! 1tur in the Civil war.
They were with Dewey at Ma
Mia.
A mere handful OF them stood
off 6,0OO Spunlards at Guantana-
mo, Cuba, in June, 1898, several
weeks before other troops
landed.
They were the first American
troops 10 enter Peking, China, in
the Boxer uprising in 1900.
With the bluejackets Of the
Navy they were first ashore at
Vera Cruz, Mexico, in April,
1914.
In the last few years they have
quelled revolutions I'm Nicaragua,
Hayti and Santo Domingo. They
have made the Caribbean coun-
tries safe for democracy" and
are now in Europe on the same
noble errand.
