FALLING OFF.

Receipts Of tobacco the past
were not so large as for several weeks
previous. due TO the fact that every
body is rushed on the farm looking
after growing crops and also to the
fact that the season is getting near

quarter million pounds represent
sales for the week. This increases
the sales for the season to 22,470,'
Sis pounds which is more than siS

cred directly to the factories and

The fact that the low and common
grades were of in price the past week

CARE OF HORSES
REQUIRES MUCH
VALUABLE TIME

Through the saving in time and
work which the motor truck effects,
labor can be released for other work
without affecting the nations haulage
and deliver program" says Carl
Changstrom OF the Standard Motor
Car company.
II was recently talking with a man,
who was finding it extremely hard to
not only secure sufficient help, but the
right kind of help to handle his teams.
He had practically decided to give
them up and invest in motor trucks,
because he was convinced, after
thorough investigation, that he only
needed about half the number of
trucks and men as compared to his
horse-drawn equipment to handle the
same amount of business.
"Along this line the following news

How do you measure SPECIFIC grav-
ity of different gasolines? What is the
real significance of the gravity of
gasoline or kerosene
If either fuel is heated too much
won't it lose its pep altogether?-B.
T. L.
IL presume you near determine
its Baume gravity which is different
from its specific gravity. The specific
gravity is this weight Of liquid COM
pared with tn equal quantity Of pure
water. Thus cubic ceEtimetre OF
water weighs one gram and water is
said to have a specific gravity OF
unity, All comparisons are made with
water as /. Thus a specific gravity
of three means the substance weighs
three times as much as water. 1t is
usual to measure gravities by means
of hydroweter which may be had
with regular or Baume scale. The
gravity has little significance The
initial and inal cooling points are
the real fa:turs. If heated too much

"KING" FIRST OUT
WITH MANY NEW
AUTO FEATURES

The King Motor Car company has
been one of the leaders in the de-
velopment of the American passenger
car, both in originality of mechanical
construction and in body design, as
serts w. L. Killy of the Noyes-Killy
Motor company.
You may recall that in the very
earliest days of the motor cars de-
velopment, King appeared on the
streets with the en- bloc motor, left
side steer and center control, causing
no end Of wonder and comment.
Doubtless you remember also, the
debut of the four-c cylinder King and
the stir it created along automobile
row because it embodies rear spring
suspension that was new to America.
Today, cantilever rear spring suspen-
sion, pioneered by the King, is used
by numerous makes of passenger
cars, both here and in foreign lands.
Talking of old times! Do you re.
member the coupe body brought out
by the King some seven or eight
years ago-the one wherein the back
of the body and the roof were grace
fully blended into handsome stream
line effect from rear deck to wind
shield uprights? The curved glass
front was also an innovation. This
adaptation of old colonial ideas met
with instant favor and was the fore
runner of the streamline effect for all
types of bodies.
The King was the second American
car to adopt the eight-cylinder motor
and today it is recognized as one of
the leaders in the multicylinder field.
Possibly i has escaped you no
tice," further commented Mr.. Killy,
that the sport type Of body now so
popular with many drivers was also
introduced by the King at the New
York Automobile show in January Of
1917. The King Foursome, a copy
righted name for the King sport type,
was exhibited for the first time at this
show. And no greater compliment
ran be paid to any car than to have

NEW TRUCK UNIT
FOR DODGE AUTOS
Special Truck Builder Designed
for Use in Making Two
Ton Truck Out of
Dodge.

A new field for truck enthusiasts has
recently been. opened through the
manufacture OF truck builder for
Dodge automobiles. This unit, manu-
factured by Graham Brothers of
Evansville, Ind, is specially con-
structed for attaching to the Dodge
front end or power plant, thus max
ing 4 complete truck.
According to E. A. Bullock, man
ager of the Graham Bros. Sales COM
pany, Omaha distributors, this new
unit is causing considerable amount
of comment and the general opinion is
that the Dodge power plant will pro-
vide an excellent propelling force for
trucks.
Good Climbing Record.
In recent test at Hlawatha, Kan,
truck built by combining a Dodge
power plant with Graham truck
builder outpulled four other two
ton trucks in a hill climbing contest.
Each truck was required to carry a
load of two tons, start up the hill, stop
half way up and then drive to the sum-
NIT, The Dodge Graham was the only
one which reached the top.
A Torbensen internal gear drive is
used in this new unit and according
to Mr. Bullock the capacity is one and
one-half and two tons. This, in view
of the fact that the price is several
hundred dollars lower than complete
trucks of similar capacity, offers an
unusual value.
Ample Fower Furnished.
THE power and serviceability of
the Dodge motor asserts Mr.. Bull
lock. will make the combination
truck great favorite with truck fans
and will throw into the balance a
rumber of serviceable two-ton trucks
"The Dodge Brothers have sane
toned the u.s. of their power plant
in the construction of trucks and have
already offered to ship as many Of
their front ends to dealers for this
purpose as production will permit
The Murphy y-O'Brien Auto company
