that. are opposed 10 war for wars
sake. They are brave men but they
see the uselesseness, the horrors. the
waste of war and they are willing to
make most any sort Of reasonable
compact that will prevent 1t in the
future. The soldiers who have fought
CALAMITY in Flanders fields and in
France are nearly all earnest adyo-
Gates of peace.
Hence opposition to "a" league of
nations will receive little popular
support. President Wilson on such an
issue will score the greatest triumph
Of his remarkably successful political
career. But 1t cannot be denied that
there are large number of earnestly
patriotic and intelligent citizens Of
America who are opposed to 1.-The"
league of nations If by such league
the sovereignty of America is to be
infringed, IL we are to become par
ty to a sort of world federation and
must take our orders from a super
nation. A very eminently respectable
minority of Americans are national
lists. They look upon internationalism
with the same adherence with which
they view anarchy and Bolshevism.
IL the President can show these
Americans, that his proposed league
of nations does not mean a forfeiture
of national sovereignty or impairment
Of national integrity they will heartily
support the league. All opposition
then will vanish. But until this is
done glittering generalities, talk about
the brotherhood of man and other gol-
den rule sentiment even though elo-
gently. expressed, will not satisfy
them.
There are still thousands of old
fashioned Americans who believe in
the superiority of their own institu-
tons, who would oppose with all pow
er at their command any suggestion
that the nation should sink its own in
dividuality in great world federation
They would look askance at any
league which would find America to-
raise or maintain an army to aid in
policing the world, becoming a party
to every disturbance that might break
out among the different nations of the
earth. II the republicans and demo-
Gratis who are fighting the league pro-
posed by the President can show the
American people that their national
sovereignty is imperriled or that ma
tional integrity is impaired they are
going to make Roadway but mere OPP
position to league of nations will
get them nowhere.

TRUE PATRIOTS.

Herbert Hoover, director general OF
European relief, has announced that
he expected to retire from the SER
vice of the country on July 1. "For,
he said, II must make living" Hoo
yer will have given five years of his
time and services to the relief Of lhu-
mainly. He commenced with the
work in Belgium following the Ger
man Invasion. He has been United
States Food Administrator nearly two
years and has done work that will
ever be a notable monument to him.
He has done all this without a dollar
of compensation. He gave his won.
derful services, worth thousands OF
dollars every year to humanity and
country without any sort of reward ex
cept the satisfaction that he was do
ing his duty. Hoover did more than
that. His remarkable personality
his wonderful magnetism, these
qualities drew other great men about
him and Inspired them to follow his
laudable example Of devotion and sac.
rifice.
There were men all over the coun'
try who did for the nation and for hu.
.inanity what Mr.. Hoover did. They
are entitled to praise along with the
younger men who volunteered for arm
ed service. An example of this spirit
OF devotion to country is to be found
In the case OF Charles c. Trabue, the

see and to devote his entire time for
more than year to the e3lGting and
laborious duties of the place to the
entire neglect of his own clients. For
this service he did not receive the
much heralded dollar a year" Not
only did he attend to all the legal du-
ties Of the Food administrator, but
in addition he gave the chief and his
STAFF the full benefit OF his splendid
judgment and sound advice. No i'm
nortant policy Of the Food Administra,
ton Of Tennessee was announced
without being submitted to the
Judgment Of Mr.. Trabue. The result
was that he devoted all of his time
to this service. He did 1t willingly
andscheerfully and would often break
pressing engagements with clients
ready to pay for his services, that he
might attend to some request from
the Food Administration. He frank
ly stated that he considered this
sacrifice his duty as he was beyond
the military age.
There are others in the state who
were quite as patriotic and devoted as
Mr.. Trabue, but his case is given as
an example of what men did during
the recent crisis. 1t was again prov

porter say that lambs sold for $10.50
at Chicago when it should have been
$3.50, 1t was also stated elsewhere
that figuring lambs at $40 the average

was absurd. What the reporter said
was that lambs at $40 would average
about SIS each, for the average lamb
would weigh around 20 pounds.

Business in general and the truck busi- ness in particular are due to set new rec ords for activity and prosperity during ,91s
 That was the unanimous opinion, freely expressed, of prominent Republic Truck distributors recently called to the fac tory at Aims from specific parts of the country for the purpose of getting the dealers views regarding two new models which Republic Truck company are just putting on the market The Model l9 Republic "Invincible," with a capacity of 21s tons, and the Model 20, Republic "Dreadnaught." of 31h tons capacity. The meeting was an informal conference. The regular annual convention of Republic distributors and dealers will be called in Alma at later date.

GAR OWNERS BACK
 TOWNSEND BILL
A. A. A. Makes Much Prog ress in Good Roads
 Work

That a preponderating majority of the 6,000, 900 passenger cars and motor truck owners of the country will sup port the Townsend bill in the Sixty sixth Congress is practically assured" aserts President David Jameson of the American Automobile association, which represents motorists generally in na- tional organized form.
 Ever since the A. A. A. in January, 1912, called the first Federal Aid in Roads convention in the Capital City, there has been a steady and logical progress toward comprehensive par tieipation in highway betterment by the national government" according to MT. Jameson, who then goes on to say:
 The explanation of this development is exceedingly simple and consists mainly in the fact that we now utilize Tor passenger and freight road ve- hicles which disregard county sub divisions and state lines. There must be a distribution of highway authority among the several subdivisions. In our own councils we have repeatedly discussed the proposition that there should be no smaller unit than the county, which would mean county roads, then state roads, and finally federal roads
 "On the way to a federal system we are following out partnership with the several states by which equal amounts of federal and state money are spent in the creation of state systems. This was preceded by & joint arrange ment between the state and it's counties until finally the state in many instances has taken over the main market roads. Exactly the same thing is certain to result from the pre<ent federal and state cooperation, and this is funda- mentally set forth in the bill just in- troduced by Senator Charles F.. Town send of Michigan, the probable chair man of the Senate committe on post offices and postroads in the next Con- gress. The measure introduced by hIm calls for a federal highway system which will provide not less than two main trunk line ru.cs .- each state and joining the federal highway system in the adjacent states and countless The commission is to consist of five mem bers, geographically distributed, and not more than three of the same politi- cal affiliation The terms of office will expire in such manner that only one commissioner would be appointed at time, after the commission had been created. The appointments are to be made by the President and confirmed by the Senate. This commission would take over all existing federal road ac- tivities, engage a chief engineer and other engineers, and the commision- CTS would give their entire time to their duties
 ''These provisions will give an idea of the scope of the measure, which, in my opinion, will not only have the sup port of the motor road users, but will ob tain the indorsement of all organi- zations which have to do with high way progress"

t. M. |. AMBULANCE USED IN FRANCE Open Air Assembly Estab- lished for G. M. C.
 Ambulances

American ingenuity introduced some of motor truck assembly when the United States forces arrived on the continent and established their trans port and ambulance systems.
 One of the first things done was to establish an open air assembly for G. M. C. ambulance chassis and the sight of a truck assembly under the blue sky was a source of never-end- ing wonderment to the natives. Inci- dentally it was new wrinkle in mo- tor car construction for the world. The American forces were not equipped with factory space and special machin- cry. so they improvised.
 A track of rough lumber was con- structed along a roadside and the c. M. C. trucks were unloaded in boxed shape at one end The boxes were opened and the chassis started down the track as soon as the wheels had been put on. Groups of khaki-clad mechanics. supervised by commission ed officers. completed the assembly as the chassis progressed and a finished truck was turned out at the end.
 The assembly was made necessary because it was found that trucks could not be shipped in good condition if assembled. The regular G. M c. export shipping programme was followed for all the G. M. c. trucks that left the factory for overseas. They consisted of dismantling the truck and packing it in huge box specially constructed. This was then carried on conveyers and loaded on flat car, six to a car At the authorization port the derricks of the steamer conveyed the boxes to the hold and unloaded them again on the other side
 This method insured the trucks ar irving in good shape in France and ex- perienced assemblers put them to- gether. just as good as when they left the factory.

picks, powerful searchlight for the drivers seat and clothing chests.
 The truck also has refrigerator for preserving and keeping food and will hold large quantity of ice. Water is also to be cooled by special device in the refrigerator. The sleeping compartments for each person are 26 inches wide, with springs and hair mattress. The top of the truck is equipped with a canopy, like a regular army truck, and one side of this canopy is of sufficient length so it can be stretched to the ground, three stakes put into it and made into regular tent.
 There is also a space provided in the "hotef for a motorcycle, for use of the driver on special errands taking him off the main line of travel The truck, in addition to being equipped with pneu- matic tires, has shock absorbers and snubbers, and MT. Barley states that with out pneumatic tire equipment such trip would not be possible. The standard wheel base of the truck has been length cred to provide for the equipment.
 Trips like the above are sure to come into vogue with people fond of outdoor life, and it is expected that people mak- ing fishing trips to far-away points. camping trips and the like will, providing they have the means, acquire equipment like that built by Mir. Barley.
 MT. Barley Salu. w e VIII unuOuDteulN have the price of the truck several times over on the trip to California and back through the saving of hotel bills and a dozen and one other items which will be eliminated by this means-though we did not have the saving in mind when we started to plan the trip but more the comfort and thorough enjoyment which our hotel on wheels gives us. The staunchness and durability of our regu- lar standard chassis makes it possible to take the tremendous load which we are imposing on it and successfully complete the trip. We will touch spots that are not ordinarily touched by the tourist be- cause of inaccessiblity, and we will go across the great desert of the west with the truck"
 To the best knowledge of all concerned, this is the first time that such an achievement has ever been attempted MT. Barley and his guests will start, ac- cording to present plans, early this spring and all are highly enthusiastic over the idea The "hoter' is practically com pleted at the present time

 Well, in the midst of the festivities Bob went upstairs to bring down some of his Mesopotamian curios. During lis absence crashing fall was heard, followed by volley on volley of oaths and curses &
 ''My goodness, What's that awful profanity? asked guest.

NOn-Skid Tires Far
 Outsell Plain Treads

Reports from Akron tell of the ever in- |creasng popularity of non-slld tires with a corresponding decrease in the sale of plain treads. The tremendous demand for the former, it would seem, is not only due to the non-skid advantages, but also to the greater Wearing qualities of the non-skid variety, in view of additional rubber, etc.
 Sales of the Miller Rubber company, for example, bear out the foregoing in an impressive way. Whereas the company about four years ago was selling as many plain treads as it's Geared-to-the-R Roao treads, it is said that the non- skids now outsell the plain castings by more than ten to one. In fact, the Miller Rubber company is turning out plain treads in only one of it's three types of tires. The Cord comes with the Geared-to-the-R Road and ribbed treads; the molded in Cleared to-the- Road only, and the wrapped in both Geared-to- the-Road and plain treads.
