Million and Half Tires

h mlltlon ana ffalf ! tres
 | A statistician of the United States Eire company estimates that nearly a million and half truck tires are now 'n use on commercial vehicles in this country. The trucks in use have al- ready supplanted more than a million horses, and it is safe to say that when the war is over and there is a sur plusage of motive power. the auto trucks will stay and the horses will go. The same may be said of the farm tractors which appear to be destined for an important place on the farm at the expense of the horse.
 The motor truck easily demonstrates it's superiority over the horse drawn truck in the present national emer- gency in which the automobile has been called on to help out the rail- roads. While motor truck transpor- tation has owed it's very existence to the solid rubber tire. the truck has shown it's best result in the present emergency when equipped with the United States Tire company's big new 'Nobby cord" pneumatics, which make long trips at fast speed possible. with out serious wear and tear on the car and with a great saving of gasoline.
 Solid Tires to Play Part
 Tire experts are of the opinion that the solid tire will play an important part in motor truck transportation for years to come. but the developments ir the pneumatic tire for this class ot work make it appear that the air tire will steadily displace the solid tire. ex- cept for use on trucks of four tons and larger.
 2 In the foregoing. nothing has beer said about the automobiles struggle for supremacy with the mule With his usual obstinacy the mule refuse. to get to one side, and continues tC show an increase each year in thi. country of from 50.0O0 to 100000.

tial bar Of chocolate for each of

Doctors of the children's bureau
working ina Red Cross dispensaries
had found that the children, who
included many repatriated from the
north. were suffering oftener from
proper food nourishment than from
illness They decided therefore 10
make this addition 20 the daily food
which replaces the slice OF bread
and a piece of chocolate which were
additionally given TO French chill

old custom has been abandoned and

tribution The schools were deco
rated with American flags and post
ers told the children the new food
came from America. The pupils in
one school sang the Star Spangled
Banner in French while - girls in
another school sang two verses in
English.

CLASS 2 GIVEN APPROVAL

The following special is from the
Portland Sunday Telegram:
Washington. June 1.-The provost
marshal general stated today that
he has informed Adjutant General
George Mel. Presson of Maine that
the action Of Governor Carl E. Mill-
ken of that State in ordering men
listed in class four into class two of
the draft list. and the appeal to the
District Board. is in accordance with
orders issued and meets the depart
ments approval as confirming with
Graft regulations. The provost mar
shall general praises Maine and es-
pecially the work done by Gov. Milf
ken and the adju'ant general, and ex-
presses trust that other states will
sno" the same patriotic spirit in
meeting urgent needs 1t believes
That appeal from local boards to dis
trlct boards will develop errors in
classification if any have occurred.
ana the same course will be followed
In all other states as is now being fol-
lowed in Maine.
The provost marshal general feels
mat every state should respond with

VIII not suffer in consequence are
merely doing their patriotic duty in
accepting the situation if called.
