DAY OF HORSE GONE,
SAYS TRUCK EXPERT
Motor Vehicles Hauling Large
: Share of Farm Products
Directly to Consumer

Motortrucks have already ovcrtaken
the railroads as means of transporta

the opinion of A. r. Kroh, western
sales manager for a motortruck com
pany, who spoke at the closing session
today of the National Association of
Truck Sales Managers at the Bellevue
Stratford Hotel.
This is admitted by many railroad
men, continued Mr.. Kroh. "The ad-
vantages of the motortruck as a means
of transportation especially applies to
the farming situation. The truck can 90
to the farm. load up with the products
and then carry it direct to the consum-
er, saving time and money.
'One example of the efficiency of
motortruck transportation is found in
statistics which show that during the

hogs were hauled to the yards at
Omaha. Neb.. in trucks from different

EXPECT DEMOCRAT
TO SUCCEED CARR
BonniwelI, Lank and Clement
Urged Upon Governor for
Common Pleas Bench

Politicians are speculating on the
possible successor to the late Judge
William A. Carr, of the Common Pleas
Court. Governor Sproul will make the
appointment.
Judge Carr was the only Democrat on
the Common Pleas bench in Philadel-
phia county. 1t is the supposition that
Governor Sproul will appoint Demo =
crat to fiji the vacancy.
Among those mentioned for the place
are Municipal Judge Eugene G. Bonni-
well. Edgar w. Lank, chairman of the
Democratic city committee, and Public
Service Commissioner Samuel NJ. Clem-
ent, Jr. Mr.. Clement is a Republican
and close personal friend of the Gov
ernor.
1t is understood the claims of Mr..
Clement and Mr.. Lank have been pre-
sented to Governor Sproul at Hot
Springs, Va, where he is recuperating
from an attack of rheumatism.
The death of the late Magistrate John
F. Collins will give the minority party
at the coming November election an
additional magistrate. Under the law
the majority party is entitled to two
thirds of the number of magistrates
elected and the minority one third
Where the number does not proportion
evenly, the minority gets the additional
one.
Four magisterial places were to have
been filled at the November election
the terms of Magistrates Robert Car
son, Evan L. Pennock, Maxwell Steven
son.. Jr., and James A. Briggs expiring
on December 81. The death of Mag
istrate George X. Hogg and the resig
nation of Magistrate George A. Persct
added two more places to the list.
Under this arrangement the majority
party would have been entitled to foul
and the minority to two. Then tn,
death of Magistrate Collins addet
another place to be filed, making thu
proportionment four for the majorit!
and three to the minority.

Clipper! Upper. Who's got an cgg?"
Is the war cry of the little Easter

All Philadelphia kids and ex kids
know what this means. The boy of

on the spot. He makes drive on the
refrigerator and digs out the hardest

If mother complains. he assures her
he will bring back enough for the family
breakfast Then he dashes out to 'pick"

at the door.
The youngster who issues the chal-
lenge claims the advantage of his ad q.
versary, so he holds his egg upper"
and hits that of his opponent.
As a result many mothers from now
until Easter will see lots of cracked eggs
in their refrigerators. Do not blame the
dealer. although he does charge you
fifty cents a dozen. but bear in mind
that the eggs may have been wounded
in battle. Such casualties are not ncces
sarily fatal to these jewels of the ice

purposes and play the star part in the

they entered it from an unbroken shell
