BOYS SINGING AND
SELLING SONGS TO
REACH WEST COAST

"Sing and travel is the slogan
Of the Coleman brothers of New
York, who left there last June with
heir hearts set on reaching San
Francisco over the vocal route.
In each city they visit they put
I'd their stand and sing the songs
they have composed themselves and
sell them. The selling part is the
most important part, they say, as
the proceeds gained in each town
makes it easier to take one more
step towards the coast. The boys
are not doing the stunt on a bet,
but Just for the novelty and to ad-
Tertise country-w the songs they
have written. They have placed
their stand in Market square in
this city and from all appearances
are making good.

TRUCK CAPACITY |s DISCUSSED; PACKARD
 MAN TELLS IF TEST

Three times the freight tonnage handled yearly on the great lakes could be added to the transportation done by motor trucks simply through operating them at average capacity. There are 435,000 motor trucks in use in the United States, with an average hauled 25 per cent more, the increase in truck tonnage would amount to 339, ,300,000 tons a year.
 "To overload is bad for the truck; to underload is bad for the owner" the engineers say.
 gro determine average motor truck efficiency we recently conducted an i interesting analysis of actual truck transportation" says R. F. Chamber lain, truck sales manager of the Pack ard Motor Car company. "A checker was stationed at a busy corner in De- troit for two hours, to note the aver age truck load passing.
 During the two hours observation. an even 100 trucks were checked Of these, 46 were empty, 30 carried par 'tial loads, and "A were loaded to ca pacity. This shows an average operat- ing efficiency of only 37 per cent.
 Though carrying full loads a. all times is a goal quite out of reach of most truck owners, today's transpor- tation needs demand better palnnine. It is reasonable to expect that i'm proved hauling methods, cooperative delivery, better adoption of units to their work, and more dependable units could increase present efficiency by at least one-fourth.'

CLEVELAND TRACTOR DEMONSTRATION
 PROVES ITS WORTH

The Cleveland tractor demonstra- ton held at the w. E. Gardner ranch last week was a complete success, states E. F. Shay, manager of Babbitt Brothers. It was the united opinion of the many interested observers that it had a great deal more power than they expected.
 Pulling an Oliver 2-gang blow 10 to IA inches deep at a speed of miles per hour, it was working with a great deal of power in reserve. Using an Osborne 10 inch 20-gang disc, it went over the plowed ground with as much ease as if it were on solid ground. All over the United States these Little Bugs" as they are called, are giving remarkable satisfSstion.
 With the United States government asking the farmers to speed up on their production, the little Cleveland tractors are doing their bit"
