Farmer Discovers Truck
IS Good-Paying Investment

When President Wilson issued his
call for greater efficiency on Ameri-
can farms. certain localities distin-
gnished themselves by responding in
quick and scientific manner. Otto
N. Gall, who lives on a farm just out
side of Columbus. Ohio, has attained
leadership in that vicinity. Calls
success in speeding up" his farm
work by motor power is a veritable
industrial romance. His story would
make the farmers of a generation
ago dumb with wonder.
In approaching the problem of
making the farm work efficient in the
highest modern sense, Gall reached
the conclusion that great deal of
golden time was wasted, absolutely
lost by the old-fashioned methods of
getting produce to market. One man
and a motor truck. Gall reasoned,
ought to do the work of two or three
drivers and teams.
He investigated the truck situation,
invested in a one-ton Republic truck
and since then has taken all his pro-
due-lettuce, rhubarb, beets, corn,
in fact all manner of produce-to
market in three trips a week to the
city. He loads his truck to capacity
late in the afternoon, gets up two
houls ldteF IN the morning than he
used to in the good old days" of
horse-drawn market wagons, goes
down to the garage. and in a moment
is off to the city.
Il used to have to feed and water
the horses, curry them, then wash
and change my clothes before going
to the city," says Mr.. Gall in an
enthusiastic letter to Republic Off
cialS. but no more horses for mine
l don't keep any account of costs. but
l know l am making more money
than 1 ever did. What's more I'm
happier, and no single business deal
ever made has brought better re-
turns than the investment in this
Republic truck"
With the price of feed and increas-
ing cost of horse upkeep there is nc
question of the money-saving econo-
my of the truck over orse-drawn
vehicles. The truck eats only while

SOME ELECTRIC
STARTING FACTS
Telling of T. A. Williams
Part in Making Batteries
Practical

NEARLY every car owner knows
that Mr.. T. A. willard had a great
deal to do with the starting battery
saws t. C. wildermuth. president OF
the Front Market Motor Supply
Company, but only a few know oil
the part he took in making electric
starting and lighting practical 'fof
automobiles.
"I,ong before electric lighting was
seriously considered, Mr.. Willard had
perfected battery for lighting rall-
way coaches and was familiar with
eyerv detail of the system. This was
in the days when all motor cars We're
.autos" and had to be wound up
when acetylene lights were the best
to be had, and the spark came from
a set of dry batteries.
electricity had one big job on the
automobile that it didn't have on the
PulIman-that was starting. AS
starting, even with the most eco
nomical motor took considerable cur
rent, the battery had to be kept well
charged.
"One of Mr.. Willard's biggest Jobs
in automobile starting and lighting
was to make a generator that would
keep the battery "on charge" all the
time except when the engine was 60
ing very slowly. He developed the
extra-brush system of regulation
which regulates the charging regard
less of the engine speed.
Another important thing Mr.. Will
lard did was to help perfect the small
low-voltage lamps that are used for
head and tail lights and for light on
the dash. He not only advocated low
voltage lamps, but proved that bet
ter results were possible with or H.
volt systems than with the earlier
24-volt system. The higher voltages
are now rarely found.
The most recent and perhaps the
greatest contribution Mr.. Willard
ever made to automobile electric
lighting is the Threaded Rubber In
sulation. By this invention the use
of durable. long lived rubber insula-
ton in automobile starting and light
ing batteries was made possible for
the first time. In a way that was
characteristic of Mr.. Willards in
genuity he solved the problem of
inserting nearly 100000 tiny threads
in each one of the battery insula-
tors.

GERMAN INTRIGUE IN MEXICO

German agents with German
money are busy trying to hinder oil
production in Mexico. Mr.. George
MacAdams, who discusses present
conditions in Mexico fully in the.Sep-
tember Worlds Work, says:
There are recurring strikes and
threats of strikes among the work
ers connected with the oil industry.
The strikes are well financed. The
agitators have a constant supply OF
funds. Some of these labor out
breaks have reached serious proper
tions. The funds were supplied to
the German consul through the no.
torious Hamburg-American group of
pIotters, formerly operating in New
York but now residing in internment
camp or federal prison.

GERMAN NOTE ARGUES
FOR NEGOTIATED PEACE.

London, Oct. 21.-The text of the
German reply to President Wilson's
note as received here by wireless from
Berlin is as follows:
'In accepting the proposal for an
evacuation of occupied territories, the
German government has started from
the assumption that the procedure ol
this evacuation and of the conditions
Of an armistice should be left to the
military advisers, and that the actual
standard of power on both sides in the
feld has to form the basis for ar
rangements safeguarding and guaran-
teeing this standard.
"The German government suggests
to the President that an opportunity
should be brought about for fixing
the details. II trusts that the Pres
ident of the United States will ap-
prove of no demand which would be
irreconcilabie with the honor of the
German people and with opening a
way to peace of justice.
1.-The German government protests
against the reproach of illegal and
inhumane actions made against the
German land and sea forces and
thereby against the Germann people.
For the covering of a retreat destruc
tions will always be necessary and
they are carried out in so far as is
permitted by international law. The
German troops are under strict in
structions to spare private property
and exercise care for the population
to the best OF their ability. Where
transgressions occur in spite Of these
Instructions the guilty are being pun
ished.
"The German government further
denies that the German navy in sink
ing ships has ever purposely DESTROY
ed life boats with their passengers.
The German government proposes
with regard to all those charges that
the facts be cleared up by neutral
commissions.

might hamper the work of peace, the
