THE OTHER AMERICA

Il see that one of those little
South American countries is getting
into the war" said North American
some time ago. That's the way toe
many North Americans think OF the
other America.
"One of those little countries
Brazil, is larger than the United
States; Argentina, another little one,
is twO-thirds as large and Bolivia and
Venezuela could each contain two
states the size of Texas and have room
to spare. Two German empires could
be put into Colombia, and France,
Austria Hungary and the German En-
pire could be placed in Peru.
Brazil could not be as densely popu-
lated as Belgium; there are not
enough people on earth now. Her
population is only one and half times
as great as that of Mexico, and yet
her commerce is four times as great.
about $5OO,OOO,OOO and that of the
Argentine Republic was s670,00O,0O
Home manufacturers are undevel-
oped in South America and imports
are necessarily large. especially cot
ton goods, hardware, machinery, con-
struction material, food 3tuffs, drugs
and medicines.
Great Britain and the United States
share the first rank among nations
sending goods to South America. In
return the United States is the chief
customer for the coffee of Brazil.
South America is developing rapidly
and is already playing an important
part in world commerce 1t is time
for North Americans to learn that
the little countries of South America"
are not little. geographically or other

Food will win the war"
The greatest need of the Allies is
food. Famine threatens. We think,
specifically, that We are making
sacrifices. but any extended consider

Almost as a diversion we regard the
meatless and wheatless days. The

Life is a big business. Some folks
make it their business just to get and
to keep. Their world is a narrow
path from their bed and table to their
office or their workshop and the more
they travel that path the more mar
row it becomes. Financially they may
succeed but in the business of living
they are bankrupt.-

OUARTERMASTERS'
TRUCKS STREAMING
TO SEABQARD
FLEETS. OF LIGHT MOTOR VEIL
Giles FOR ARMY SERVICE ARE
LEAVING DETROIT WITH CLOCK.
LIKE REGULARITY.

Detroit and Michigan, being the
stronghold of the motor car and mo-
tor truck industries, have been called
upon to supply great numbers of both
cars and trucks for army service, both
in the United States and overseas.
Early in January began the move
ment OF these vehicles from Detroit to
points of embarkation. Indeed, the
movement of motor vehicles wei the
road has been a boon to the govern
ment by affording a very large emas-
ure or railroad relief.
Many Detroit factories are working
on government contracts and much of
the war material they produce is sent
forward in the motor trucks produced
in the same city.
When III .forward movement began
last winter it was necessarily slow.
Now production has reached a high
point, and both cars and trucks are
moving to the seaboard in a steady
stream, long trains leaving Detroi.
every day in charge of army officers
and army drivers.
The picture shows fifty Dodge
Brothers quartermasters' trucks, pho.
tographed at Dodge Brothers works
and ready for delivery to the govern.
ment. From the point of production
the trucks are driven to a government,
storage garage in Detroit, and Themes
are driven to the port of embarkatior
in fleets of varying numbers.
