The present. extensive use of moto

The present extensive use of motor trucks, away beyond and predication of a year ago, has prompted many to speak of the motor truck as the rail- roads future competitor. But close analysis of transportation conditions shows it to be the railroads able ally instead of it's competitor.
 One reason for this is that the type of service the railroad least efficiently renders, is the type the motor truck best renders. And if our railroads 1 can be freed of the burden of this un- 1 suitable service their capacity for profitable operation can be immensely increased
 It is conceded that the short haul is l the least profitable source of railroad l revenue. It usually involves partial ! loads, whether in passenger or freight l service, and frequent stops, which are
 expensive. In such service the rail- road operates far below it's full effici- | ency, and consequently at unnecessary l expense.
 l Here is the service in which the
 motor truck can operate greatly tc | the railroads benefit. The unit load i of the motor truck is smaller thar | that of the railroad. Its operation is
 more flexible. It does not require ex-
 pensive trackage and terminals. The long haul, with full car loads constitutes the railroads greatest earn. ing power So that by assuming the
 short haul the motor truck releases rolling stock for the more necessary and more profitable long haul.
 It is fortunate that just at this time l when such a wonderful opportunity i.
 opening up for the motor truck, pneu-
 matic tire equipment for truck service
 should have been developed, permitting
 the motor truck to advance far into
 the new, broad field of usefulness. Early sensing the development O traffic conditions that now actually

Really strenuous times are these, for the men engaged in the automo- bile selling game because the vehicles are hard to secure from the factories, not because of any fault of the mak- CTS or their ability to produce but rather because freight conditions are deplorable. Therefore the man who wants his car before the latter part of this month is advised to place his order immediately. Freight condi- tions today are all that they should not be. Local dealers in order to keep promise with customers in the past have had cars rushed through by eX- press from the middle western fac tories. Now this procedure is all very well, but it costs considerable money. In some cases the buyer agreed to stand part of the extra express charges in order to have his car when he wanted it. But every buyer is not willing to assume this obligation, therefore he must wait for the freight to come in. However, there is one solution to the car shipping problem and local dealers discovered it two or
 three wears ago-and that is over land shipment. For the purpose of 1 illustration let us assume that a car represented in this city is manufac- tured in Detroit. The only thing the | agent here can do is to dispatch a
 number of men to Detroit by train and have them run the cars over the road to this city. All things consid-
 cred, this means a trip of about 300 | miles But it has to be done.

He can drive a kero- sene motor to the limit all day where he could not attempt to push his work with horses. As one Nebraska farm CT said: Where we need the tractor most. if for nothing else is for the summer blowing. This is work that kills our horses, and if we turned over two or three acres day we would say we had good luck, but with tractor pulling two, three or more blows, an acre an hour is common, and we don't have to worry over tir- ing out the outfit on hot days.

owing to the scarcity OF tonnage
