(Mail Special To The Advertiser)

WASHINGTON, July 16-The rural
motor express is coming very fast in
Atlantic seaboard states. It has pene.
tratod as far west as Indiana polls, DO
troit and Flint, Michigan, Cleveland,
Ohio, and Kansas City. A development
of the war apparently, this express has
bounded into such popularity that farm.
ers from all over the land are now in
quiring about Il Mt the council Of ma.
tiOnal defense. Connecticut, New York
and New Jersey have been largely mo,
nOpOlizing this fine form of getting all
kinds of produce TO market, but lately
many Califnrniana have been inquiring
as to what such service would do for
its wonderful farming communities To-
Gated on splendid highways.
In the wake of the rural motor ex.
press has come the return load bureau.
Boards of trade and chambers of com
merce have seized upon the orgauiza-
tion and maintenance Of these return
load bureaus as rare opportunities for
useful public service. Today there are
quite forty of these return load bureaus,
which, as the name may suggest, CO.
operate with the rural express In
getting return loads (from town into
the country. Fourteen of these bur.
caus are in Connecticut; ten in New
Jersey and six in New York state but,
from all indications, within year there
will more likely he four thousand Of
these bureaus throughout the country,
for they have proven of great utility.
Had Small Beginning
The rural motor express is accredited
originally to a farmer near Olney,
Maryland, eighteen miles out of Wash
ingtOn along as fine a macadam road,
probably. as there is in all the country.
H" thought Of the proposition as feas.
ible for getting his milk to the Wash
ington market. He purchased one light
truck and within a fortnight was doing
so well, rolling quickly into town and
out again, that his neighbors all were
after him to haul for them. They left
cans of milk and cream by the road.
side for collection. Quickly the bust.
ness branched out almost automatically.
Livestock shipments were accepted.
Calves, for example, we're tied BY the
roadside till the express passed Tags
attached gave the owners name and
instructions where to deliver and to
whom. The return load idea also de.
velOped quickly on the Olney route,
backed by the Washington Chamber of
Commerce, and now the Olney farmer
not only owns and operates four trucks
but he is decidedly a magnate among
the Maryland farmers, who find an in
dispensable institution is growing up
in their midst. They can not only sell
small and broken lots of their own pro-
duce but they can send to town for a
pillow point or any one Of a hundred
things that are needed on the farm.

towns. The motor truck expresses bring
fresh food to those ccnters. more quick
~ than would he possible by other
means Of transportation and at com
paratively cheaper rates. The rural
motor trucks are getting r.early across
New York state and the return load
bureaus arc already established at
Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Albany,
Troy, and New York City. The idea
Is spreading into the South. Richmond
and Petersburg (near Camp Lee, a large
army cautonment) are just getting an
express route and return load bureaus.
In Connecticut a war bureau has taken
hold of the work very actively.
or course the congestion Of traffic
on the steam railroads is one of the
reasons for the rural motor trucks. But
the service is shown by experience to
be even cheaper than railroad trans.
portation, to say nothing Of the i'm.
proved service. Goods are delivered
more, quickly and the methods are far
more economical and satisfactory. II
seems certain that even after the war
when the railroads are better able to
take care Of the local traffic the motor
truck express will continue to expand
into thousands of communities and will
become indispensable both to the farm
er and to the city man.

ARGENTINE CROP s. r.
MAKING GOOD GAINS

We learn that Argentine will have a
good sugar season. On May the grind,
ing season had opened and the outlook
is for from 100000 to 100000 tons of
sugar. The crop in Tucuman will be
about 10000 and from reports of TheO,
ddre Roosevelt, who visited that regisn
a number Of years ago, we CLEAN that
this region has the finest prospects for
sugar cane production Of any section Of
South America. In 1914 the output Of
Argentine ran as high as 37O,222 tons.
The sugar imports for the last six years
were nearly six times larger than the
annual average in the past five years.
The imports were 176,494 tons in 1917.
The crop conditions this year are simi.
lar to those of 1913 and 1914 and the
only serious opponent to a fine crop is

A striking feature from the figures is
that apparently nothing can he deduct

section in any given season. In some
Years the heaviest precipitation is in
the winter months, and in others this
occurs in the summer Some years it
occurs in the fall and again it is in
the spring.
The year 1914 was by far the wet

equally unusual on arCount of its dry

DiSapprOves Of
Use Of Chain Letters
National War Savings Committee
In Letter To John Effinger
Frowns Upon That Method Of
Advancing Sale Of Thrift
Stamps

In letter received recently by John
Effinger from Walter H. Nash of the
National War Savings Committee, of
81 Chambers Street. New York City,
it is stated that the treasury depart
ment disapproves of the use of chain
letters for he sale of thrift stamps;
also that certain chain letter referred
to by Mr. Effinger in a communication
to the committee, did not originate
with the committee. Continuing, Mr.
Nash says in part
" Nothing has been uOne to stop this
chain letter except in the way Of ad
vislng people making such inquiries as
YOU have done, that the chain letter
has not the approval of the govern
mcnt For the reason that there is
nothing illegal about it, and if patriot
Ic citizens see fit to send these letters
to their friends, this committee has
taken the attitude that it was per
sOnal affair entirely.
This positive communication from
the National War Savings Committee
followed the receipt here by Mr.. Ef
finger Of one of these cha n letters in
which he was asked to write five other
chain letters to friends with thrift
stamp in each one and ask the recip
tents to each write still more letters
with a thrift stamp in each as a neu
cleus for u War Savings Stamp.
Mr.. Effinger wrote the chain letters
and then decided that il would be n
good idea to find out if they were Off

and applied at headquarters with the
result as shown.

Wooden Vessels will
Solve Shipping
Problem, Is Belief
Inter Island President Pins His
. Faith To Them Rather Than
To Barges - New Craft Are
Giving Satisfaction He Asserts

Building and equipment Of more of
the wooden steam vessels now in use
in the Pacific are looked to to solve
the shipping problems of this ocean
rather than is the use Of barges, MS
planned by San Francisco shipping
men, thinks James Kennedy, president
Of the Inter Island Navigation Com
pany.
San Francisco newspapers arriving
here recently told how new town .
equipment made It possible to use big
barges for long voyages, and how Il
was planned to move much of tho
Pacific cargo In this manner.
When questioned as to what he
thought Of the possible surress of this
plan, President Kennedy aid:
THE use bf barges l. by no means
a new thing In the Honolulu service.
Now that they can take sugar cargoes
away, from here, as wen as bring down
freight, theif use appears to be worth
while. They. are arriving and depart.
ing frequently.
"The barges are all right in good
weather, but I have my doubts about
their use in winter. 1t remains to
be seen whether they can be used sue
cessfully in bad weather"
The Inter Island president then ad
vanced1 the thought that he believed
more, dependence could BE- placed in
the future use of the small wooden
steamers. which are now becoming n
distinctiye type onnthe Pacihc.~ He
Gays they now are supplying the Inter.
Island with the necessary coal ship
Inents for It's bunkerinR business, and
that none of the discOuraging feat.
ures encountered with some of the
first shipping board vessels built is be
ing developed in these ships.
The allusion, It appeared. was to
the fact that some Of the ships first
rebuilt or built on the Pacific Coast
seemed TO consume nearly as mnch
coal, for d round trip voyage as they
were capable Of carrying one way.
There were also other troubles last
year with vessels like; the Boston and
Sacramento. possibly because Of enemy
activity, which now seems to be elm
mated.
President Kennedy ended with the
conclusion that he thought the build
ing and use of more Of the wooden
steamers eventually would take care
of Pacific needs for cargo carriers.
