Relieving freight congestion is a
problem that has been partly solved
by Morris & Company in the inaugu-
ration of the tractor-trailor service
in the hauling of meats from plants
to branch houses.
They have been working for a
couple of years On a large tractor
trailer equipped with refrigeration
system which would enable them to
carry fresh meat in large quantities
from one point to another. Numer-
Gus plans and specifications were
drawn up and finally worked out to
a point where they thought it would
be practical. They had the tractor
trailer built according to specihca-
tons by the National Refrigerator
Car Company of Beloit, Wis.
One of these trucks is now doing
duty in Omaha and may be seen
here daily.
The trailer is OF 12-ton capacity,

quire thousands of men. Our navy
will never be reduced to the pre-
war status. More men will be re-
tanned in our regular army than be-
fore. There will be a dearth of
labor in the United States for years
to come.
"Fourth-The prices of food
stuffs, clothing and manufactured
articles cannot be reduced to great
exterit with high labor wages and
enormous taxes this nation. as we'll
as others, will have to pay for many
years.
Never in our history have we had
such a foreign demand for our pro-
ducts. Now that the war is ended
this demand will increase by jumps
and bounds. All the eyes of the
world are turned toward us for sup
plies.
Now, with the shortage of labor
and the resultant high prices of
horse feed, the demand for motor
trucks is bound to be enormous.
Hence, our reason for Immediately
taking steps to treble our output
for 1919"

Cadillac is Popular With
United States ArmV Officers

Many reports have reached the
Cadillac Motor Car company of De
troit of the part Cadillacs have
played in the winning of the war.
The Cadillac has great popularity
among the officers and those who
have Cadillacs are enthusiastic in
their praise of the way the car has
carried the war burden.
Frank B. Richie, writing from a
base hospital in France, says:
Zone driver of a certain generals
car told me that he lived on the
front seat IF his limousine "a hours
day. and that he had travelled all
over France in it.
HE told me of his experience in a
certain big drive recently. when
Fritz opened up a bombardment Of
all roads away from that point.
The general had to go. so there
was nothing to do but run for it. So,
in the inky blackness of the night,
with no lights and no moon. they
started at speed of about IS miles
per hour. Everything went smoothly
until they came to a certain cross
roads where two big shells hit SIM
ultaneously at each side OF the road.
well. the old Cadillac plunged
into two big shell-holes like tank
wallowing across field. and after
tipping dangerously near over,
emerged on the smooth road again.
There was no time for examination
and she was still going, so they kept
on. When they finally got out of
danger, they found four worthless
tires and one broken spring leaf
Outside of a few holes in the I ody
and tenders of the car, everything
was as good as ever, and they
went on"

Auto Makes Life on Farm

~"Our automobile makes up for
the isolation of our farm" writes a
prominent western grower to Carl
Changstrom of the Standard Motor
Car Co. Thee nearest city to us

very good enabling us to make the
trip in less than one and three
quarters hours. If it was not for
our being able TO enjoy the advan-

Predicts Good. Future
in South America for
u. S. Manufacturers

Having sailed the seven seas al
most continuously since 1914, with
out sign or sight of Hun raider or
submarine, Z. G. Willems, Dodge
Brothers representative, has just
reached Detroit from South Amer
lea. Mr.. Willems brings word that
the greatest obstacles to world bus
mess today are lack of freight facil-
tiles and gasoline, and total or par
tial embargoes in all parts of the
world. He predicts vast enlarge
ment of American world business
after the war, but in the face of
keen and highly organized conipe-
tition from several quarters.
He says that American bust
ness has made considerable progress
in South America during the period
of the war, and that the establish
ment of branch banks has done a
great deal to promote North Amer
lean interests in the nations to the
south of us. AS he sees the situa-
ton, manufacturers in the United
States have now the best opportun-
ity in their existence to take legit-
innate advantage of the South Amer
lean needs.
North American business men
should understand" Mr.. Willems
says, that the representatives they
send to South American business
houses should be equipped with a
good working knowledge and :om-
mand of Spanish. A French scholar
is at an advantage in South Amer
lea, because nearly everybody of
the intellectual class also speak
French. Representatives should
have clear conception of the Latin
temperament, and defer to Latin
customs as fas as necessary"

Digestibillty Of Common Vegetable
Eats

Tie vegetable fats most commonly
used as food in the United States.
namely, olive, cottonsecd, peanut, and
coconut oils, have been shown to have
a high digestibiiity and consequent
food value By experiments recently re-
ported By the Once of Home Econo-
mics OF the L. 5. Department of Agri-
culture Sesame oil, which is used
extensively as food in some other
countries, but only in limited way
IN the United States, was also found
to have high digestibilty. Cocoa
butter, product OF the cocoa bean,
and a solid fat at ordinary room tenn.
perature, was found, however. TO be
little less thoroughly digested than
the e,her oils mentioned. The cocoa
butter vas about ~ per cent digested.
while the other ellis were approx
mately 9S per cent dlgested.
The experiments indicate that for
the mos part The vegetable oils studi-
ed. especially the five with the higher
dlgestibility ratings, have about the
same food value and digestibility as
the animal fats in general use.
No i'll effect from the consumption
OF fairly large quantities of vegetable
oils were noted and the experimental
evidence in general confirmed ex.
perience in ranking them as desir.
able foods for man.
