The good old year 1917 was unusual in
its prosperity to the people of Southwest
Georgia. No rational man can find it in his
heart to say many hard things of the sea-
sons and the effects they brought upon the
productivity of the soil. Not in the past
half century has this section suffered an all
crop failure, and we are beginning to ap-
preciate this Southwest Georgia country as
never before.

ALABAMA COUNCIL
 OF DEFENSE WILL
 HOLD CONFERENCE
Motor Truck Operators and Representatives of Cham bers of COmmerceAsked
 to Be Present

Montgomery, July S.--(SpeciaL) Faced with the certain fact that as the needs of the nation become greater by the expansion of the military rro- gramme transportation of products for short distances will become less regu- lar and less certain, the state council of defense will hold a conference in Montgomery, beginning at noon Mon day, July 15, of motor truck operators and representatives of Alabama cham bers of commerce for the purpose of making plans in concrete for the use of the highways in transporting farm products and supplies for short dis tances, thus relieving the railroads of this burden and giving them more fa- cilities for handling military supplies and shipments for long distances.
 Chambers of Commerce of Mobile, Birmingham, Montgomery, Selma, Do- than, Anniston, Gadsden, Decatur, Flor ence Sheffield, Huntsville, Tuscaloosa and Bessemer have been requested to send representatives, and majority have already designated motor truck owners and operators for the con- ference.
 .sI It is proposed to utilize the capacity of motor trucks going and coming Tn order that there may be no lost mo- tion in overland transportation. For instance, if a merchant has load go- ing to town 25 miles away, under the proposed plan, he will be able to pick up load for a return trip, thus paying portion of the cost of opcr- ating the truck between the points.
 Lloyd NJ Hooper chairman of the state council of defense. and the state highways transport committee recently created by the state council are con- vinced that the operation of trucks for short distances will bring great relief to the railroads and the farmers. They have records of other states to show that a farmer is assured of an imnie- diate market for perishsb1e farm prod ucts. such as milk and vegetables, be- cause the trucks do not face the de- lays faced by railroads.
 The council of national defense has urged immediate establishment of auto truck lines. Unless something Is done to relieve the heavy burden of the rail transportation lines, the govern ment will be forced to declare en- bargoes for stipulated periods on short hauls. The state council desires to per- feet an overland transportation sys- tenn in order that there may be no interruption in the movement of freight when the rail embargoes are declared
 In urging the state council to con- slider the problem at once the council of national defense said: 'The purpose is to take some of the burden of the short haul off the railroads and p,it it on motor trucks operating over the highways. Very considerable quanti- ties of merchandise and materials of all kinds are now being carried by trucks operated by private concerns in their own businesses and bx motor cx- press and haulage companies. In "a majority of cases, however, these trucks, after delivering load, return empty, whereas there are shippers who would be glad to avail themselves of the opportunity to send load back on such truck to it's home town if they
The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-07-09

knew it was going back empty. On the other hand, the truck owner would be equally glad to secure return load because the charge made for hauling it would reduce his own haulage cost.
 ITO bring the shipper and truck owner together serves the interests of both. It doubles the efficiency of the motor truck, enables business men to make prompt shipments or secure deliveries in day instead of several, relieves the railroads of much short haul freight and thereby releases cars for necessary long-distance haulage of munitions. equipment and other sup plies for our army in France, and for foodstuffs. fuel, etc. for the civilian population at home"
 It is proposed to organize return load bureaus in all chambers of commerce, where all persons having freight for transportation between towns may list his needs and where a truck owner having a shipment going to certain town may be told what shipments he. may gather for the return trip. The system has proved effective in Con- necticut and other states of the north and east.

MASBURG'S DRUG STORE DOUBLES
Service Rewarded By Increased Business and Store Space Is Increased
 to 60x75
By FRANK WILLIS BARNETT

I like to see my friends prosper m fact am glad to see anyone in Bir- mingham do well, and so here IS little story which shows that courtesy pays.
 I have known Arnold Masberg Tor full score of years, and yesterday dronned in at his Twentieth street store on the corner of Fourth avenue, as heard the noise of saw and hammer and I saw that he was having some partitions knocked down and lot or beautiful new fixtures set up.
 Arnold, when did you come to town?" I asked.
 "So long ago I am almost ashamed to tell it. It was in the dark days when many of the stores on Twentieth street were vacant and business was at a standstill; but I stood by 1t ana have seen it come into its own, ana am thankful that have prospered with it's growt th."
 "You seem to be an optimist," I re- piled.
 "Well" said he, T have right to be- My partner and I opened up here on this corner in the face or all or our friends. who predicted that we couldn't make it a paying proposition. That was in October, 1916, and the space has grown from 25 by 27 to Oo by 75 feet"
 q am glad to know that you have more than doubled your floor room and your business" I answered.
 "If you want to know the faith that our firm has in this stand, just look on the window, for we have put it III black and white, so all who pass may see that we expect to continue to grow"
 I looked, and here is what I read. give it, for it has a note of cheer ana faith that is refreshing
 ''we appreciate the support given us by the public, and by continued faith full service hope to be able in a Few years to occupy this entire building Help us to grow"
 The Clark building is not the only mascot of the Arnold Masberg Drug company for their Eighteenth street store is also spreading out, for they have a lease on the corner store and will incorporate it in the fall. This will give them 50 by no feet taking in the whole building.
 I like 8 man who loves his business. Now Arnold Masberg grew up in drug store. His father before him was a druggist, and was one of the founders of the Chicago School of Pharmacy. Arnold began to serve his apprentice ship as soon as he was big enough to see across the counter
 I like a man who likes his partner. believe I found a key to the success of the Arnold Masberg Drug company. for when I asked Arnold, who is the president, about his partner, Vice Pres ident Walter D. Ianning, he replied enthusiastically: 'fWhy, Lanning is the best prescription clerk I have ever known since I have been in the drug business. and I have seen hundreds of them behind the. desk"
 We'll here is hoping that as they have seen their dream come true on Eighteenth street and gotten the en- tire building for their place of busi- ness, it will not be many years before the sign of the Arnold Mas berg Drug company will cover the entire Clark building.
 If it is realized, it will be because they have worked hard been cour- teous and have not been afraid to be innovators. They were among the first to use girls as soda water dispensers.
