ROADS COMMITTEE
AGREES ON BILL
Measure Drawn Up That Will
Meet Wants ofo Many
Directors.
SOME FARMERS OPPOSED
(From a Staff Correspondent.)

Lincoln, Jan. 3l.-(Special) THE
roads committee of the house has
finally agreed upon bill which will
meet the wants Of those members of
the legislature who have been some
what opposed TO accepting the gov
eminent appropriation, and after a
great deal Of mending and fixing, the
bill went to the house today provid-
ing for the division of the state into
project districts, no district to con-
tam more than five counties.
To a certain extent each district
will control the roads of that district
and after the apportionment is made
will have the authority to build the
kind of road it desires, but if it wants
a more expensive road than the re-
quirements of the bill provides, it
has the right to raise money any way
1t sees fit and add it to the appropria-
ton made.
A fight is being made upon the bill
by the farmers union that may
jeopardize its chances. The chairman
OF the committee, Mr.. Anderson of
Boyd, while for the bill in its present
form, and believing it all right, is
said to have announced that he would
have to vote against it, because he
has received so many letters from his
constituents who are opposed to &C
cepting any kind of all appropriation,
at least the one now made by the fed
eral government under the provisions
of the bill.
Other members of the committee
are now for the bill believing it to be
all right.
Speaker Jackson appointed Messrs.
Anderson of Boyd, Taylor and Dali
hey as the house members of Joint
committee to consider the federal aid
road plan and report to the legisla-
ture.

Hogs--Almost as many hogs were in
sight for today as were here yesterday,
estimates placing the run at 302 cars, or
$500 head. For the three days so far
this week receipts amount TO $500 head,
which is 1900 larger than week ags.
10000 heavier than two weeks ago and q
few hundred head larger than for the same
days last year.
Not over half Of the number OF hogs
expected h. been yarded when the market
opened, but buyers all needed hogs, and
as the severely cold weather, which was
reported as general over the northwest.
made II uncertain as to whether everything
would arrive In time for today's trade the
market was active and sharply higher right
from the start.
After opening On 10000 higher basis
the market improved steadily as the day
went along, a good many sales being as
much as 20c. a quarter and In extreme
instances s0c higher. In other words fore
noon sales ranged all the way from a dime
to SOC higher and as general thing
were around 2oc above yesterday. BY noon
the market was less excited than early,
but packers and shippers werc still taking
hogs about fast as they came In at
prices that were as good as any time OF
the day. A few trains were stili to be
heard from at a late hour,
As is common on Il sharp advance, a
good many OF the light and plain mixed
hogs. which are ordinarily In the poorest
demand, showed more advance than any
thing else. and the spread OF the bulk was
not rs wide as II was yesterday, most of
the sales landing at sll,2bGll.65 As high
as sfiT0 had been paid good many times
and while there were no authentic re-
ports OF anything at si1.75 rumor Of a
sale at that figure refused TO be downed
Today's prices, which are fully soc higher
than the close OF last week, are the high
est In the history OF tho market.

HOGS TEN TO TWENTY UP


Cattie-Recepts were very liberal this
morning, 277 cars being reported in. but
owing to the severe cold weather and
storm only about half Of the receipts were
in sight when the market opened. As usual
under such conditions trade very slow
and dull. while prices ranged anywhere from
weak to possibly loo lower in spots Owing
TO the late arrival Of trains the market was
a drag throughout the whole forenoon.

POWER INCREASED
BY ADDING VALVE |
CAPACITY IN CAR.

Marking the elimination OF a deli
mite policy formed two years ago, the
fCur-CyIinder car with It's is valves,
which was exhibited by the Willie
company this season for the first lime,
is one of the outstanding features Of
1917 motor car construction, and
proves that this type Of an engine
has been deve .Oped 10 the highest pos
sibie form OF efficiency.
For years engineers of the White
company have asserted that valve ef-
ficiency is more vital thar the rum-
Der of cylinders and they have also
contended that any power AMI tlexibil-
ity secured by the multiplying cylIn-
ders can also be produced more ':ffec;-
tvefy by increasing the valve capacity
Of the tour-Cylinder engine II was
with this idea in mind that the Write
company decided to. put on the mar
ket the fOur-Cylinder car with Its IS
valves.
In each cylinder of the new White
car are a double set of valves A
counter balanced Crankshaft and light
er reciprocating parts make tie new
model one of the most remarkable au-
tomobiles developed in recent years.
II has a fast getaway. and rs 4 hill
climber equals any other motor Car.
There are many advantages to be
found in the new model" says S. S.

ny. distributors OF the White motor
cars, which are not obtainable in 9TH
er automobiles. The double valve de-
sign permits the use Of two small
valves which actually admit no more
fuel than one large valve. Valve
pockets, are practically eliminated by
locating the valves in four corners of
the cylinders. This admits the full
charge of fuel, as the valves are in
clined inward at the top and set close
to the cylinder wall, permitting the
gases to be drawn into the combustion
chamber.
The combustion chamber is almost
uniform in shape. The spark plugs
are placed in the exact center of the
cylinder mead, making the explosions
occur over the center of the piston.
With no pockets to fill and the cham
Der Of small size, each explosion is
a great deal more powerful than pro-
duced by an engine of the same size,
If the valve capacity were smaller.
Burned gases are discharged from
the chamber and there is no dead gas
left remaining in the cylinder to inn
pair the incoming fresh charge. The
complete combustion and exhaust
makes the 16-valve four practically

noise Is eliminated by the use of small

INTERNAL GEARpRIYE IDEAL
FOR TRUCKS, SAYS AUTHORITY

After rigid Investigations and costly
experiments extending over period
of many years motor truck manufac.
turers have learned that there are
three types OF drive. which give the
mcst efficient results on trucks These
are the chain, internal gear and worm
drives.
"lnasmuch az maintenance is
part OF inc mileage cost" says an
auto expert, OF the Republic internal
gear drive truck. simplicity and free
dom from delicate adjustments Is an
essential factor In the selection Of a
truck
In this respect. as will be admit
ted by every fair-minded builder of
trucks, the internal gear drive has no
equal, including the other two types
Of drive-the worm and chain. The
principal feature about the internal
gear is that 1t offers less inspiring
weight. This means tire and fuel
economy in the long run, an impor-
tant factor in these days of high.
priced gasoline and rubber.
Careless Driver Menace
Perhaps the greatest menace to
truck owners today is the careless
driver, who so often neglects to lubri-
cate the motor truck Now a truck
equipped with the internal gear drive
eliminates this menace, or rather evil,
as such truck only needs lubrica-
tion once in every six months. There
are many instances also where trucks
OF this class have run as far as &c, 900
miles without fabrication. with no
damage TO their mechanism. This is
alone enough to recommend that one
buy a truck equipped with an internal
gear drive. ..-......
"Of the three types of drives used
by manufacturers today on the COM
mercial vehicles and chain is possibly
the oldest known and IL has two i'm
portant factors in its favor. When a
truck is equipped with this kind of a
drive the load Is carried on dead axles.
Another point in its favor Is that the
application Of power is exerted at a
point that makes for the least expen-
diture, When q chain and sprockets
are new they will yield power also
with little waste
However, these things occur only
under ideal conditions, which, of
course, is not the kind of a truck drive
for owners who desire machine that
win render real hard commercial sery-
ice, As to the consideration of the
worm drive. it may be dismissed in
a few words-it has been found re-
peatedly to be impracticable for truck
work. With the elimination of these
two drives, one is led to adopt the In
ternal gear drive as the only practi.
cal and logical drive made today for
truck work.
Plan Huge Output
"The internal gear drive is used in
all Republic trucks. but 1t shows to a
