MOTOR TRUCK TO
AID REPAIRS ON
COUNTl'S ROADS
BOARD TAKES PROGRESSIVE
STEP TO SAVE THE SERIOUS
LABOR PROBLEM.
WILL WORK SEVERAL TEAMSJ B. HARRISON IN CHARGE
Initial Cost of $6,5co it Is Expected
VIII Soon be Saved in the Cost If
Feed and Labor Necessary TO OPP
crate With Horses.

Through the road commission
Maury county has purchased ten ton
motor truck that it is expected will
soon revolutionize the repairing and
! building of the county's highways.
The truck is a White one of the best
known and has a capacity of ten two
horse wagons. 1t will not only pull
the load that ten wagons Of ton
each will pull, but it will make two or
three times as many loads as a wagon,
1t will save both man power and
horse power
The truck will be put imediately in.
to service in hauling material for the
building and repairing OF the roads.
Due to the tremendous advance in the
cost of feed for horses, the short
lives of horses and the scarcity of la
Dor it is expected that there will be
an actual saving through the pur-
chase of the truck. It's cost was
$500 and the fuel to run it will not
be as expensive as the feed and shoes
would be for twenty horses, TO say
nothing of the actual time and labor
necessary to feed and look after the
horses.
Montgomery county has not less
than eight of these big trucks and as
a result road building in that county
has been revolutonized 1t is hoped
that just as fast as possible the coun-
ty will add to it's number until the
road commission will be sufficiently
equipped.

Awakened patriotism has made the
American people saving people, O
bond-buying people. The effect OF
the Liberty Loans on the national
character, on our national life, on the
individual citizen and our home life
Is immeasurable-of incalculable
benefit. Not less incalculable Is their
effect on the destiny of the world as
our ships pillow the seas and our men
and material in Europe beat back
the Hun.
The Fourth Liberty Loan campaign
will begin Saturday, September %,
and close October 10. No American
doubts it's success: no good American
will fail to contribute to it's success.
The blood of our men fallen in Europe
calls to us; our answer must be and
will be worthy of them and our
country.
