MOTOR TRUCK MAY SOLVE WAR TIMES
 FREIGHT PROBLEM

Each day the use of motor trucks ex- clusively for short haul transportation draws nearer. What the mathematic- ians have told producers for years is the less expensive way to carry com modities over distances of less than 200 miles is being proved true, and the business men of America are waking to this great fact: It is cheaper to haul goods over the short haul' by motor truck than by rail. Yes, actually cheaper in dollars and cents. This has been proved by a number of exhaus- tive experiments and tests made by trucks in various parts of the country within the past six months.
 War has brought the awakening Every freight car, every railway loco- motive, and every railroad man in the country is needed in the crisis to take care of long haul work, the work which has to do with shipments of munitions, ordnance, army supplies and men to the eastern seaboard for the journey to France
 The government has already issued several orders designed to curtail the use of freight equipment for any but the most urgent needs of the country, and further orders are contemplated.
 
 surprising if orders came from Wash ington that railway freight hauls must be for greater than 200 miles, and that short haul work must be taken care of by motor trucks.
 The use of motor trucks to take the place of freight cars for short haul work is absolutely practical and this was proved by the remarkable demon- stration made by the Maxwell truck in it's great series of three round trips between Los Angeles and San Diego recently.
 In this remarkable showing the Maxwell One-ton truck carried 3205 pounds of a Los Angeles food product | listed as mi-perishable" on a ser ios of three rund trips from Los An geles to San Diego at the remarkably 1 high figure of more than fourteen miles per gallon of gasoline. The dis tance of 792 miles was covered in fifty 1 hours, fifteen minutes. The total load | carried was 19,230 pounds. Only five pints of oil were used or the series of trips, and on the last lar of the series the Maxwell truck piled up the remarkable average of 20; miles to the gallon of gasoline. The time consumed by each journey averaged eight hours thirty-seven anC a half minutes, or about fifteen and 6 l half miles per hour. The truck took its | load at the Hauser Packing company: | loading platform each day and de- livered it to the Hauser warehouse 1T | San Diego that night, elimina&ng tht | extra handling and drayage charge! which would have been necessary haC the goods been shipped by rail. It wa found that the Maxwell truck carried it's load for about $2.O0 less per tril than it would have cost to send tn, l same goods by rail-

GOVERNMENT CONTROLS COAL
Federal Officials Expect An Immedi.
ate Reduction in Price to Con-
sumers-Limits Retail Profits.

Washington, Oct. 1.-Government
control over the coal industry was
made complete last night by an order
of Fuel Administrator Garfield limit
ing the profits of retail coal and coke
dealers throughout the country to a
basis which is expected to bring about
an immediate reduction in prices to
the consumer.
The order, effective today, directs
that the retailers shall fix their prices
so as to limit their gross margins over
cost to the average of such gross mar
gins during the year 1915, plus a max
imum of 80 per cent Of the 1915 mar
gin. provided that in no case shall the
average margin of the month Of July,
this year, be exceeded.
Local committees appointed by the
federal fuel administrator in each
state will see to it that the dealers
comply with the order and the dealers
themselves will be called upon to re-
turn sworn cost sheets showing the
facts upon which they have based
their prices.
In other orders tonight the fuel ad'
ministrat0r made the first reyisions OF
his recently fixed prices of coal at the
mine.
One order revises upward the mine
prices in certain bituminous districts
in which unusual conditions exisi
making the cost Of production greater
than in the principal bituminous fields
The new prices for run of the min'
coal in those districts include:

TO HANDLE FLOODS
State University Seeking Way
to Save Loss of Crops on
Overlooked Lands.
CAREFUL RECORDS ARE KEPT
Valuable Information Obtained for the
Use Of State When It Starts
Reclamation Campaign.

Missouri is reported to have more
land subject to overflow than any
other state in the Union. 1t has been
estimated that more than 3 million
acres of land in the state are subject
TO crop failure on account of Occa-
sional high water. This is a matter
Of so much Importance that the Uni
yersity of Missouri has been for fiji
teen years keeping careful records Of
stream flow in different parts of the
state in order to get information upon
which it may be possible to plan some
scheme of flood control The infor-
nation thus obtained is valuable with
reference to flood control and also in
its bearing on the possible develop
ment of power for industrial uses. The
extent of water source for public
water supplies will also be made
known.
The state should, in the near future,
adopt a definite and comprehensive
plan to reclaim its swamp lands and
thus increase the agricultural re.
sources materially beyond their pres
ent extent. An extensive drainage
project was recently completed in
Southeastern Missouri along the st
Francis river and other streams that
will bring into productive use many
thousands of acres of first class agri
cultural lands.
In addition to the reclamation Of
swamps and oyerflowed land much
can be done to improve low lands fol
agricultural uses by the installation
OF systems of drain thing. This cal
be made of most effect only by care
full and systematic effort and on
comprehensive scale. Closely allieC
to the problems of drainage is thu
possibility and economy of developing
the clay resources of the state anC
using them in the manufacture 0
drain tile so that the expense of drain
age projects may be reduced.
