MOTOR TRUCKS
FORCING HORSE
into OBLIVION

The war has given the horse a new
lease on life in the losing battle which
that animal is waging TO prevent
the automobile from forcing il into
oblivion along with the pterodactyl
and mastodon.
Three years ago the number Of
horses in America began to dwindle
and last year no less a partisan of
the horse than the Secretary Of Agri-
culture said in his annual report
SLOWLY but surely the auto truck is
driving dray horses from the city
streets. Already the automobile has
efectually put the driving horse off
the country roads. The farm demand
for several years has been the main
stay Of the horse market"
But just at the moment that the
automobile had the horse dangling
over the ropes ready to sag under the
finishing wallop. America entered the
war. and under the stimulating effect
Of heavy demand for cavalry horses
and for increased motive power
Throughout the nation, tired Mr..
Equus got back his wind and now
Is battling away with all four feet
determined TO last out several more
rounds.
Horse IL Big Eater.
.l.al
pointed out that the horse eats SO
much that there would be an imme-
date demand for his destruction were
It possible to replace him quickly for
the work which must be done. By
way Of statistics this enthusiast
points out that while only 60, 900, 900
acres Of farm lands in this country
are devoted to wheat growing. Al
100000 acres are given up to oats
and b4,0O0,000 acres to hay, two
articles Of diet which are essentially
horsefeed. Ninety-hve million acres
for horsefeed and only sixty million
for wheat in these times. when every
acre counts, shows altogether too
much favoritism to the horse, in this
mans opinion.
Having practically vanquished the
horse in the field Of passenger trans
portation, the automobile is now TAX
ing a new line Of attack by making
strong bid for supremacy in the

As a leader for this line the COM
pany has secured the agency for the
Federal Rugged Tread Tires manu-

and a complete line is carried in stock
at all times. This is considered one
of the very best lines Of auto tires
now being manufactured.
A full line of accessories and re-
pair parts is also carried in stock
with particular attention given to
Ford parts.
The accessibility Of the location
and the splendid management be-
hind this department to push it, il
should soon increase the business in
this line and make il second to none

Among the cars which are particular

field Of truck transportation.
A statistician Of the United States
Tire Company estimates that nearly
a million and a half truck tires are
now in use on commercial vehicles in
this country. The trucks In use have
already supplanted more than a mil
lion horses. and il is safe to say that
when the war is over and there is n
surplusage Of motive power. the auto
trucks will stay and the horses will

farm tractors which appear to be
destined for an important place on
the farm at the expense OF the horse.
The motor truck easily demon
strates its superiority over the horse
drawn truck in the present national
emergency in which the automobile
has been called on to help out the
railroads.
In the foregoing. nothing has been
said about the automombile struggle
for supremacy with the mule. With
his usual obstinacy the mule refuses
to get to one side, and continue to
show an increase each year in this
country Of from $4,000 to 100. 900.

OVERLAND RECORDS
PROVE THAT PHYSICIANS
FAVOR CLOSED CARS.

\ A study Of the sales records Of
WHY'S. Overland. Inc. reveals many
interesting facts in connection with
the growing business uses Of the mo-
tor car. IL is an established fact that
the farmer has been one Of the larg-
est purchasers Of the automobiles
and now II has been conservatively
estimated that 90 per cent Of the au-
tomobile ownership is confined TO the
rural districts including towns Of less
than 5000 population. But there
were other trades and professions
which have found the automobile to
be indispensable in the effective
handling Of their business.
A striking example Of this is the
medical profession. The physicians
are found among the pioneer and
most consistent buyers Of passenger
cars in the United States almost from
the inception Of the industry. The
very nature Of their business makes
the use Of the automobile impera-
tive. The physician appreciates the
time-saving qualities Of the sutomo-
bile Emergency calls allow him no
choice Of time or season There are
thousands in the medical profession
whose continual use Of Overland cas-
is shown by the records Of the WHY'S
Overland Company. While some Of
these men are buying the open type

HOME GUARDS WILL,0RCANIzE
 HERE TONIGHT Indications Are That It Will Start Off With
 Good Mem-
 bership. SAME AS THE MILITIA Act Under Which It Is Formed Provide for Commissions from
 the Governor.
SAME AS THE MILITIA

Tonight the meeting for the forma. tion of a Home Guard for Juneau will be held at 8 o'clock in the A. B. Hall All those who have signified their in tention of joining the organization are requested to be present
 The act authorizing the formation of the Home Guard was passed by Congress and was incorporated in the Defense of the Realm Act. It provides for the formation of bodies of Home Guards to take the place of the National Guard Companies which were incorporated with the regular army at the outbreak of the war
 The Home Guard occupies the same status as tho old militia units did before the Spanish American War. They come under military rule and regulations, but are under the direct orders of the Governor of the States and Territories. They can not be ordered out of the State or Territory without the consent of the OOt Sl ilOI dHu dic HOt part Ol luC regular Army. They are merely what their name signifies, Home Guards.
 In cases of trouble they can be ordered from one part of the Terri tory to another until the trouble has been quelled. Arms and equipment are provided for in the Congressional Act as well as pay. Strict military discipline is required and absolute obedience to the officers by the men. The Act provides for the commis- sioning of the officers by the Gov ernor. All members will be expected to take the oath of allegiance to the United States and swear to live up to the regulations and requirements under which they work.
 Military drill and discipline, phys ical upbuilding, target shooting and training, all of which will be of i'm mense value to Juneau residents who join the organization will be among the benefits received The training will be of inestimable value to men who join the organization and who are later caught in the draft.

HEATLESS DAY IN A JUNEAU LAUNDRY IS
 NOT APPRECIATED

A little delay in getting the plant warm at the Northern Laundry to- day nearly caused a strike among tie help. The girls thought, because the big room in which they work was not warm when they arrived for work, that heatless day was estab- lished, so they proceeded to get cod feet and then go home leaving their work unfinished
 It looked like an ironless day for a while, but Manager Lee Kicker hurried around, secured full crew and operations were again continued this afternoon. The laundry manage ment is considering the placing of electric heaters about the floor of the plant to prevent the recurrence of cold feet strikes.

MUCH EVIDENCE OF THE WAR IN
 SEATTLE SEEN
Mrs. William Short Tells Her Friends a Few lm- preSsions of Her
 Recent Trip.

Mrs. William Short, wife of the pro
 prietor of the Circle City Hotel, has
 returned home from trip to the
 States and is now entertaining her
 friends with a very interesting ac
 count of her pleasant experiences.
 The objective point of Mrs. Shorts trip was Sydney, New South Wales, where her parents reside, but owing to word received of the particular dangers that might be encountered crossing the ocean Mrs. Short short ened her trip to stay in Portland Oregon.
 'No matter how many times one has taken the trip south" says Mrs Short, "one will see many new things now The war spirit prevails every
 where and is evidenced even on the water. When we approached Seattle it was night, and we were met by two huge battleships that threw their searchlights over our steamer and
 we were made to enter port between the battleships."
 Mrs. Short says it almost seems as if one was really in the war to see so much evidence of it on every hand. Many Alaskans who have been spending the winter in the States are beginning to tire of the idle life and they are getting anxious to re turn North for the seasons work, I Among the many people from Juneau | that Mrs. Short met while enroute | to Portland were MT. and Mrs. w. | H. Thompson, formerly of the Dream l Theatre in Juneau, who now have a | fine show house on Second Avenue | in Seattle.
 Portland roses are in full bloom | and the weather is fine but Mrs. Short was glad to get back to the largeness of Alaska and the friendli. | ness of Juneau.
