NATIONS BUSINESS
NOW DEPENDENT
ONMOTOR SERVICE

Were all automobiles and motor-driven
vehicles ordered from the streets and
from the country roads for period of
thirty days. what would happen to the
business interests Of America
\ prominent official Of one OF the ma.
tional associations recently placed such
a proposition before members OF the
trade. Few OF them had realized. in the
rush OF their business. the real necessity
Of the passenger car and motor truck
to the business OF the day. and the
question brought home the fact that
business throughout America without
motor cars would be at standstill.
c. S. Hieman. vice president and gem
eral manager Of the ElEin Motor Car
Corporation. feels that the mOtOr-driven
vehicle Is an Indispensable necessity to
America at all times. and at no time
more than during the great war. The
motor car is labor-saving machinery. in
tine estimation OF Mr.. Rieman. and is a
time-saver in every department OF bust
ness Automobiles In business are an
economy and not an extravaganza.
Passenger automobiles have given
greater service said Mr.. Rieman, and
will give greater service in the United
States. than is given by the railroad
and street railway systems Of America.
The estimate has been made that $1,000
passenger cars averaging 5000 miles a
year. and that 1t is low average. and
carrying three persons each, will give a
total Of over $500 10000 passenger miles.
The estimate figures that this mileage
at 2 cents per mile is u return Of Si.ll0.-
10000 per year"

MAXWELL IS VICTOR
IN BATTLE OF TRUCKS

Prize fights have been big drawing
cards for persons with a drop %
sporting blood in their veins. That
form OF lighting has been barred by
the legislators In most States.
The age OF truck lighting now
dawns. The hrst scrap between
trucks OF different makes is reported
from Emporia. The combat occurred
in the freight yards OF the Sants Fe
railroad II was an accident that
the trucks engaged in this battle
royal The trucks belonged to the
McCord Kistler Company and the
Bailey Transfer Company. The two
vehicles became blocked back to back.
The driver OF each decided that the
easiest way to clean the atmosphere
and relieve the crush was to pull the
other out OF the way. So they
hooked on and started their en-
gines. One truck was a heavy make
while the second competitor was a

Revival Planned.
"Just prior to President Wilson's
declaration OF war on German au-

we've planning the revival of twenty
four-hour contests" he said, and 1
am inclined to think that such events
will be scheduled when automobile
racing is resumed in this country.
These twice around the clock
events should prove well worth
while, satisfying the public demand
for something new in the way of au-
tomobile competition and also being
of great value to the motor car en-
gineers. For the cars of today, with
piston dispIacsments Of 300 cubic
inches or less, and OF unusually high
engine speeds, have yet to undergo
the racing test OF the twenty-four-
hour grind. No one disputes their
speeds, for they have averaged close
10 100 miles per hour in 5OO-mile
races. but the stamina OF the auto
mobile is not tested so severely in
these nve-hour runs as in the Cruel

American Exepitionary Forces,
Office of the Commander in
Chief, France.
October 18th, 1918.
Honorable Carl Vrt oman.
Assistant Secretary of Agriculture.
Dear Mr.. Vrooman:-
VIII you please convey to farmers
of America our profound apprecia-
ton their patriotic services to the
country an to the Allied armies in
the field?
They have furnished their full
quota of fighting men; they have
bought largely of Liberty Bonds: and
they have increased their production
of food crops both last year and this
by over a thousand million bushels
above normal production. Food is OF
vital military necessity for us and for
our Allies. and from the day of ouI
entry into war. Americas armies OF
food producers have rendered in
valuable service to the Allied cause
by supporting the soldiers at the
front through their devoted and
splendidly successful work in the
fields and burrows at home.
Very sincerely.

Washington. d. c.. Nov. s. 1918.
Mr.. George w. Simmons,
ST. Louis. Mo.
On February 10 last year nearly
six weeks before the United States
declared war, National Red Cross
Headquarters advised its Chapters to
prepare for war. That which has
followed in the record of the Red
Cross in helping to win this wal and
to relieve the suffering growing out
of 1t, constitutes something of which
every American citizen has a right to
be proud. Every American Red Cross
worker must feel a sense of gratitude
in having had a share in II all.
The moment is now come to pre-
pare for peace. Actual peace may
come at any moment; IL may be de-
ferred for some time. Until peace Is
really here there can be no relaxa-
ton IN any Red Cross effort incident
to active hostilities.
But even with peace, let no one
suppose that the work of the Red
Cross Is finished. Millions of Amer:-
can boys are still under arms. Thou
sands of them are sick or wounded.
Owing to the shortage in shipping. II
may take a year or more to bring our
boys hOme. from France. But what
ever the time, our protecting arms
must be about them and their fam
lilies over the whole period which
must elapse before the normal life of
peace a be resumed.
Our soldiers and sailors are en-
listed until the Commander in Chief
tells them there Is 10 more work for
them to do in the war. Let every Red
Cross member and worker show our
returning soldiers and sailors that to
care for their health. welfare and
happiness. we are enlisted for no
less a period than they are.
The cessation of val will reveal a
picture of misery such as the world
, has never seen before, especially in
the many countries which cannot
help themselves. The American peo-
| pie will expect the Red Cross to con-
| tinue to act as their agent in repair
ing broken spirits and broken bodies.
Peace terms and peace conditions
will determine how we may best
minister to the vast stricken areas
which have been narrowed by war,
and in this great act of mercy. the
heart and spirit of the American peo-
| PiN ihuot W Nv
through the American Red Cross.
On behalf of the War Council. We
accordingly ask each member of our
splendid body of workers throughout
the land to bear in mind the solemn
obligation which rests upon each one
to Garry On" We cannot abate one
instant in u efforts or in our spirit.
There will be an abundance of work
to do, and specifice advice will be
given. but eve at the moment Of
peace let no Red Cross worker falter
Our spirits must o call us to
show hat it is not the roar of cannon
or the blood of III own alone. that
directs our activities, but that a great
people will continue to respond great
ly and freely to its obligation and op'
portunity to serve mankind.

THE AMERICAN RED CROSS.

Managing Editor Herald.
Beaver, Oklahoma.
Dear Editor
In the prosecution of the great
world wal now in progress the
federal government has had no more
potential ally than that found In the
support of the American press. In
this, Oklahoma newspapers have
furnished no exception. No where in
America has the response to every
call made by the president been more
spontaneous or more loyal or more
complete than hat which has come
from the publishers and editors Of
this state. Personal sacrifices. time,
brains and space have been unspar-
ingly placed at the disposal of the
government by this body of staunch
patriots who have regarded these
concessions as no part of the individ-
ual quotas or responsibilities which
they have also shared alike with fell
low patriots.
The Oklahoma Division of the
Fourth Liberty Loan Committee
deems II a privilege to tender to the
fraternity this token of appreciation
for cooperation in the Fighting

JUNIOR ORDER ID INSTALL OFFICERS Local Council to Work for Free Textbooks in
 Alabama

Installation of officers elected for the ensuing month term is the chief business before the Monday nignt meeting of Birmingham Council No. q, Junior Order United American Me- chanics, and a good attendance is an- ticipated. The newly elected officers are desirous of making a record and will lend their best endeavors to the increase of membership of the coun- cil.
 General regret is being expressed at the removal to Texas of V. c. Hammett, who for past five years has served the council as recording secretary. All members of Birmingham council will wish for MT. Hammett full measure of prosperity in his new home.
 Much interest is being expressed in the legislation the Junior Order will ask at the hands of the forthcoming session of the Alabama legislature, da outline of which was made public fast week. The matter of free text books for the public schools seems to claim most attention. This is big prob lem, but it is believed that it may Le effected in some degree through the local taxation clause of the last con stitutional amendment. The Junior Or der has procured free text book laws in many places and it is believed that eventually Alabama will be included and the Order will work to that end
 Much interest is being manifested in the Junior Order at Leeds and the council there is making fine progress New members are being added at every meeting and State Secretary Calhoun who was present a the meeting last Tuesday night for the purpose of in- stalling the newly elected officers of Leeds council. remained over Wednes- day and procured several applications for membership for the council among the most substantial citizens and lead- CTS of that community.
