States. In the opinion of Forrest J.
Alvin, OF Cincinnati.
Demand for motor trucks Is now
practically universal" says Mr.. Alvin.
TO meet this demand requires dis
tribution. All the factories have to
do Is to place distributors. The bust
ness is waiting for them.
This widespread insistence for mo-
tor trucks is greater than some of the
manufacturers themselves had ever ex-
pected to see. 1 can mention the ex-
pcrience OF one large builder OF trucks.
This company decided upon a distribu-
ton policy several years ago which
would include sales headquarters at
the United States.
WINGED that the large cities formed the
market for motor trucks. and let 1t go
at that This concern has since
switched it's policy. 1t now has dis
tributors in the smaller towns as we'll
as big centers, and is looking for more
OF them all the time.
Several years ago a statement that
farmers would figure as motor truck
! buyers was an occasion for smiles.
| Scarcely anybody ventured such a pre-.
diction. of course. because they were
all concentrating upon the city mar.
kets. But to-day farmers small towr
! merchants. and big city firms alike are
| joining in calling upon truck manu-
facturers for more machines than they
| can turn out. With such a condition
as this existing it is not beyond the
pale OF reason to predict that motor
truck distributors in few years will
! dot the country in as great numbers
| as motor car dealers now do"

MOTORISTS NEED LAW FOR

Erect Obstacles to Development

New York State believes that II pays
to let down the bars on all the high
ways which lead into tho Common
wealth from the adjoining States. For
years this has been the case in refer
ence to foot passengers and those for
tunate enough to travel in horse drawn
vehicles. Hence. when the horseman
became motorist and many pedes-
TRANS invested in popular priced self
propelled vehicles. the wise administra-
tors of New York State saw no reason
to erect taxation barriers.
II tho roads within the State were
not sufficiently we'll built and main
tanned to meet the demands Of the new
traffic, then 1t was up to the State to
bring about improved conditions. 1t
was not necessary TO accompany this
businesslike policy with an unfriendly
intimation to visitors from adjoining
States that It was up to them TO help
pay for the roads which New York
primarily built for herself and for her
own citizens.
or course, New York expected that
when her road travellers went outside
the State they would receive the same
kind of national hospitality which New

the nation. for. alter all. the States did

New York State. therefore. had no
selfish concern In the so called New
Jersey test case which tho American
Automobile Association and the Ma
tional Automobile Chamber of Com
mcrce took to the Supreme Court OF tho
United States. because Stew York al
ready gave all that the motorist con-
tended for in this appeal to the highest
court I'm the land. New York gave to
the visitor as much as the visitors
would give to the New Yorker.
Between the time when the New Jer-
scy test case was started and it's nrgu-
ment before the Supreme Court. New
Jersey ErudEinEly consented to a
hfteen-day period of reciprocity. Other
States are similarly close in their reci-
procity, while Maryland absolutely re-
fuses to permit a resident OF the Dis
trict of Columbia, the National Capital
district of the whole country, to turn
wheel on tho roads until a rcSistra-
ton tax is paid. The District of Co.
luElbia only charges 81 for a perpetual
number, and so Maryland does not see
any reciprocity in an exchange. Per-
haps II the District OF Columbia makes
its tax annual, and then requires al
Marylanders to pay 1t. there might be
somewhat different view of the sub
ject. as was once the case when New
York decided that New Jersey could
only get in New York the same kind OF
reciprocity which New Jersey gave to
New Workers..

method of procedure when one has In

LEGEND of the Man In the Moon,

The man IN the moor is one of the
oldest as well rs one of the most pop
ular of superstisions. 1t is supposed
to have originated in the account, CIV
en- in the fifteenth chapter of the book
Of Numbers. of a man punished with
death for gathering sticks on the Sab
bath. And since that time, the old
folks tell us. when the is about
eight days old you can see the poor
victim, with his bundle of sticks upon
his back. continually climbing up that
shining height with his little dog DA-
fore him. but never alas. getting a
single step higher!
All through our literature can be
found references to the man in the
moon. Ounce. the carpenter in
Shakespeare's midsummer Nights
Dream in describing the manner in
which moonshine is to be represented
says, Zone must come In with a bush

has rather an unkind dig in ono of his
poems at this exile in another world.

A Scheme
That Failed
Tricks of a Sharper
Bring Him Only
Bad Luck
By HOWARD FIELDING
By HOWARD FIELDING
Copyright by Charles W. Hooke.


A %singularly placid and innocent look
ing expression, mild. questioning blue
eyes and a skin as fair as a child's
were bestowed upon Ernest HARDWOOD
by fate, the Incompatible jester. Cool,
steady and alert, a natural reader of
men, he had the outward semblance of
the most lamblike of our species. Con-
fdence operators perceived him in
stantly in the midst of crowds, and he
acquired a vast knowledge of their
tricks without paying a penny.
With no great appetite for wealth, he
yet made money. After college he
spent several years in leisurely travel
from one end of the country to the
other. studying the whole question of
its Industrial development In his W
odd way, and in the course of this ran
dom pilgrimage he increased his earth
ly possessions about fourfold. And
then he anne upon the adventure of
the Capital Cities railroad.
This was a corporation utterly wreck
cd and given up for worthless. In its
brief day it had been capitalized at
S10.0O0,O00 and had sold stock and
bonds, the proceeds being absorbed by
the cheerful swindlers at the head of
the enterprise. The road was to con
meet two state capitals, and construc-
ton had been begun at both ends, but
had never reached the middle. Now
the bonds and certificates of stock
were regarded as waste paper. pre-
served from mere habits of prudence.
But q certain rich man named Isaac
Creamer had made a discovery about
the franchise of the Capital Cities road
and had scented more money in that
old gold brick. Mr.. Creamer's plan was
too elaborate for complete statement
here, but the essential point of his ma
neuyers was to secure control of the
stock. A clear majority of 1t was held
by towns and little cities along the
route of the road. 1t was now unsafe
for any public official even to mention
Capital Cities stock, and, though 1t had
no value, not a share could have been
sold without arousing dangerous popu-
lar clamor. So Mr.. Dreamer was forced
to go over the heads of these local Of
ficers.
1t was impossible for him to get con-
troll of the board of directors without
the consent of these men. and some OF
them were. honest and others timid.
and he could do nothing with them. So
he quietly secured a bit of legislation
amending the original act of incorpora-
ton and providing for the exchange OF
the old bonds of the road for new com
mon stock, with voting rights. Thus by
buying up these bonds and adding the
proceeds in stock to his holdings there
of he could force the representatives OF
the towns interests into a minority
and elect a new board of directors con-
sisting of his own dummies.
Harwood happened to get wind OF
this scheme when it was in the bud.
and he began to buy up the bonds on
a speculation.
Creamer's agents were secretly buy
ing, and so were Harwood's, and the
time came speedily when Dreamer

ibid you ever hear of the Capital
Cities railroads" she asked.
HARDWOOD was aghast. So this ador-
able creature really vas in the plot and
by so childish u trick expected to lure
him to disclosures.
"Yes," said he; I've heard the name"
my father lost his money in it, said
she. There are 100000 of the bonds
in that envelope, and they are waste
paper. Yet he believed to the last day
of his life that they would have a value,
and he made me promise to take care
of them and not to sell unles they
were again upon the market with a
regularly quoted price"
"How does it happen that you have
them here?'
81 kept them in the safe at Lingard
& Co.'s" she answered. Naturally l
brought them here"
HARDWOOD rose and took a turn across
the room and back. OF curse there
was nothing but waste paper in that
envelope. He could break the seal

fought against it. overthrow suspicion
and trampled Oh it.
"Miss Lawrence said he, there is a
chance that your bonds will soon be
worth their face value or even more.
If you will let me see them ! will tell
you the story"
Certainly" she said, surprised. and
she broke the seal. The next instant
she uttered a cry, and the envelope fell
from her hands, while many slips of
blank paper fiuttered down to the floor.
BE calm" said HARDWOOD. Answer
me one question. Did the bookkeeper
at Lingard & Co.'S know that you had
these bonds in their safer
"Yes," said she. IL happened to
tell him.
"He and Graham have put up this
job to get them" said he. II thought

He went to the telephone and called

"Hello! | want to speak to Mr.. STAN

has stolen $100.000 Of c. G. bonds. Get

What's that? He's there with the

is luck. Get a policeman and What?
Don't ask any more questions. Joe.
Nab him!"

the girl, who stood amazed, "if you will

knew that some mysterious individual
was in the market against him. Then
began a series of operations that would
have furnished plots for half a dozen
comic operas. Detectives were engaged
by the score. They logged n an
others footsteps and discovered every
thing except the truth. Neither Cream
er nor HARDWOOD dared disclose the
actual facts to any Of these sleuths,
and so they worked in a double dark
ness, with the most amusing results.
Meanwhile Harwood lived in a third
rate hotel In one of the capital cities,
his identity yelled under an alias and
his luxurious tastes repressed to fit the
character of a clerk out of a job. He
had a partner in this enterprise, and
the partner was supposed to be an OBJ,
ject of Creamer's suspicious. There
fore HARDWOOD kept aloof from him, and
they communicated with each other by
telephone only.

this condition HARDWOOD was sitting in
the Office of his hotel after dinner when
