Of the south. show conclusively that
Uncle Sam can enrich himself by at
least $100.000.000 BY installing mo-
tor trucks on his farm to table"
routes. Data shows that the antiquat-
I cd system in vogue-the use Of the
horse and wagon ON $4,000 routes
Throughout the country---is losing
Iproposition; and to the extent Of
| $s0.000.o00 too. The few motor
truck investments made by the gov
lernment last year earned $4,000
lapiece on an original investment Of
9l,300 for each truck. Moreover.
|commMnities were reached BY the
motor trucks that had never been
visited before BY Uncle Sans mail
carriers.
The assertion that there are roads
to-day never traversed BY government

lous, but the postoffice authorities
