WANTS TWO MORE
Kansas Woman With Ten
Children Makes Request
Writes Governor Capper for
Two French Orphans.
BRING THEM TO KANSAS
Would Turn Over Big Trego
County Ranch to EN-.
Here Is a Type of the Real
Kansas Spirit!

One Kansas woman-mother of ten
children-wants q couple of French
war orphans. She will also give a good
home in western Kansas to a few
women from the war-stricken district
of France.
In a letter to Governor Capper to-
day, Mrs. S. NJ. Hudson Of Freeport.
Trego county. offers q home for At
least two French war orphans. She
wants the children brought right to
Kansas. where they will receive the
full benefit Of the fresh air and boun-
teous crops of the short grass coun-
try. Then, should a few mothers in
suffering France desire a good home
away out in the big, free western
country. Mrs. Hudson will do her full
happy.
She Is Mother OF Ten.
Mrs. Hudson is the mother Of ten
children. The youngest child Is four
years old. But raising ten children
of her own hasn't discouraged Mrs.
to do something more than a mere bit
in the war crisis. Her home--a big
ten-room ranch house near Wakeeney
is open. There is lots of room on
the big farm and Mrs. Hudson will be
mother and guide and comforter TO
the homeless from overseas.
IT think every childless mother
ought to do her part, too." Mrs. Hud-
son wrote to Governor Capper. Il
don't see why every woman with q
home shouldn't take at least couple
of these poor homeless children and
give them a chance in life"
Opportunities Out There.
The Trego county woman wants the
children right where she can coddle
and help them. There is a world OF
opportunities in western Kansas, Mrs.
Hudson told the governor. and some
of the blessings OF big, free, prosper
Gus and charitable Kansas ought to go
out to the war orphans. And Mrs.
Hudson's idea of the best way to do
it, is to bring them right here where
they will grow to manhood and wo-
manhood with the Kansas and the
American idea Of opportunity and
happiness.
If the war orphans can Just be
brought to Kansas, Mrs. Hudson's
home is open for at least two Of them.
And if a few war stricken French
mothers can come to the United States
with their little ones, Mrs. Hudson's
big ten room house Is open to them,
too. The French war orphanA Mrs.
Hudson said, would have a. chance
right beside her own flock OF ten

For this reason, Austria-Hungary
eventually must collapse unless mill.
tarism surrenders. The memorable
force which Is pulling Austria Hun

possible to calculate. The present re-
action is apparently more serious than
has occurred on previous occasions
during the past year in the Hapsburg

to actual revolution cannot be fore

Revolutions Come Suddenly,
A revolution is a spontaneous move

period without causing a revolution;
or something may suddenly stir the
anger of the people to desperation, in
the midst of riot, and a revolution

If a revolution in the dual mon

find herself deserted by Austria-Hun-

The above picture represents what
 is probably one of the most dramatic
 incidents ever connected with the sale of motor truck.
 Last Sunday about o'clock Mr.
 C. E. Stromberg, manager of the
 Southern Motor company, distributors
 of the Republic truck, received a telegram from Dick Wick Hall. vice president and general manager of
 the Black Giant Mines company at
 Salome, AriZ., stating that he wanted
 a tWo-ton Republic truck and wanted
 It quick. Consistent with the well
 known Republic service policy. at ,
 o'clock the same day, Harry Hunter.
 manager of retail sales, accompanied
 by William Fifield, superintendent of
 Republic service, were en route to
 Salome aboard a new two-ton Re-
 public truck. They arrived at Salome the following morning at 5:15. cover

 At lO a. m. the new truck. with Dick Wick Hall at the wheel. drew up to the loading platform of the BLACK Giant mine, ready for work. and flfteen minutes later was on its way to Wenden with a capacity load of hlgh grade ore. The following day at o'clock MT. Hunter and Mr. fltield left Salome to return to Phoe- nlz Tn the little one-ton Republic which was taken in exchange on the two-ton model. Regardless of Dick WICK Halls advice to the contrary owing to the fact that the night previous to their departure, one of she worst storms known to this To- callty ragged continuously and it was freely predicted by MT. Hall and his associates that they would be unable 10 negotiate the desert and mud flats about forty miles from Salome.
 With Harry Hunter at the wheel, the little one-ton pulled gallantly out Of Saiome in down-pour of rain winch was continuation of the storm of the previous night. Tn speaking of the return trip, MT. Hunter says that it was the most trying experience he ever encountered Tn ms many years of motor truck work It rained continuously through out the entire trip and time after time, 1t looked as though the little Republic was doomed to be mired hard and fast in the glue like, sticky mass of desert mud, but despite the force of the clements and the almost unbelievable road con- ditions, the little Republic, in every instance, responded nobly to the and pushed and floundered it's way through. despite the fact that it was handicapped by not hav- ing mud chains or even the vestiga

cars and trucks have undergone such delivery methods in the past, but, as rule, delivery has been made during the summer season when roads were good, and other conditions were favor able, as a special courtesy to some big dealer whose needs were imperative.
 Motor vehicles today, however, are being delivered over the public high ways, as a matter of necessity-no other method being available. The great scarcity of freight cars has been so severe as to allow some automobile manufacturers only as many cars weekly as were formerly used daily. for making deliveries.
 So public highway delivery has been resorted to out of sheer necessity with road conditions that formerly would have received no consideration whatever
 Thousands of automobiles and trucks are now being delivered over roads covered deep with snow, or rendered all but impossible because of deep mud, and in some instances these roads have suddenly become choked up for days at time, because of spring thaws and rains.
 But despite these adverse conditions deliveries are being effected-and it IS interesting to note that on seventy i've per cent of all the cars wearing cord tires and forty per cent of ali cars, irrespective of the type of pneu- matlc tire used, are making these diff ficult journeys on Goodyear tires. One large manufacturer that has made overland deliveries of many fleets of passenger cars, to points throughout the central states and the east re- ports perfect record for the winter not not an instance of trouble en route. me reports Of others are similar.

of a rope to assist in giving it trac- tion.
 As evidence of the road conditions and other difficulties encountered the little Republic truck waded through where the stages and other vehicles had tied up on the banks of the many creeks, washes and rivers wait ing for the subsistence of the storm. With grim determination to respond with equal confidence to the staying qualities of the little truck, continued the battle throughout the night. The stamina of the Republic rewarded the efforts by bringing itself intact to the Republic service station door none the worse for it's trying ex- perience except a generous wetting and a liberal coat of mud.

COOD TIRES PROVE ESSENT| |AL POINT
 IN MODERN TRAVEL

The present winter season has seen many precedents established in the motor world, but it is doubtful if a more practical one has been inaugu- rated, than that adopted by many of our automobile and truck manufac- turers, of delivering a considerable part of their output, under it's own motive power
 Motorists travelling our main high ways have for several months noted a great increase in the number of motor vehicles delivered in this manner, par ticularly toward the eastern seaboard, from the central states

LOCKING THE CAR

Many modern cars are fitted with a battery ignition system in which the distributor arm is removable. By removing this arm the car owner makes 1t possible to steal his vehicle only by towing it away or by fitting another distributing arm. The arm may be removed simply by unclasp- ing the distributor cover to which the wires are attached. It usually happens that there is only one way in which the arm will fit, so that there need be no worry about re- placement.
