MOTORIZED EQUIPMENT on .

Modern motorized equipment"
says Henry Schultz of the Capital
Transit & Repair Co., local dealers in
Chevrolet passenger cars and trucks,
brings to the farmer the means to
cultivate as many acres of his land as
he desires with a certainty as to re-
suits and at a lower cost.
The capacity of a motor-propelled
machine is of known quality. The
amount of work it will accomplish in
a certain period of time can be def
nitely determined. There Is no guess
work. There is no physical element
to reckon with. So long as it is kept
in good running order, uniform re-
suits can be depended upon.
LAS an example of motorized farm
equipment tack the motor truck. 1t
has proved Of indispensable assistance
on the farm. Thousands of them are
now in use on farms in every section
of the country.
"One motor truck on the farm re-
places from two to four men. 1t also
carries twice the load of horse
drawn wagon in half the time It
furnishes dependable transportation
to city markets which can be reached
in half the time that the same trip
consumed with a horse. And for emer-
gency errands, for conveying seeds,
fertilizers. machinery parts and other
tasks. the motor truck in these capac-
tiles alone has earned its first cost
many times over
"The passenger automobile is an
other instance of motorized farm
equipment that has heightened the
farmers day, increased his capacity.

era of better living and bigger profits.
Indeed, motor vehicles have as
sumed such an all-important place in
farm life-have proven of such inval-
liable assistance in the conservation of

Der of the family-that it is little
wonder their popularity and use is
increasing in the rural districts. With
the acquisition of such equipment the
farmer has made rapid progress in
placing his business on the same prac-
teal basis as that of the manufac.

strain of motor truck hauling.
Hundreds of millions will soon be
spent on our highways and unless this
money is put into roads that will
stand up under the strains of heavy
traffic there will be great dissatisfac-
ton among our taxpayers and future
appropriations will be difficult to Sc
cure.
THE United States leads all ma
tons in it's railroad mileage, yet in
improved highways we are trailers.
Based on the ratio of two miles of
public highway to each square mile
of area, which applies in developed
territory. we should eventually have
over 100000 miles of highway in
this country. At present We have

until in five years from now truck
registration will undoubtedly equal
automobile registration.
We must construct the highways

MASON COUNTY WILL
VOTE ON ROAD BONDS
OF PAVING OLYMPIC
HIGHWAY TO BE DECIDED AT
ELECTION JUNE II.

(From the Mason County Journal)
The county commissioners held 4
session Saturday for the purpose of
considering the question of hard
surfacing the Olympic highway, the
probable cost and distance possible
to cover, and also the methods Of
fered to finance the work.
For the past two weeks they have
discussed the matter with IS many
county taxpayers as possible, individ
ally and in grange gatherings and
have found practically unanimous
encouragement for going ahead with
the bonding plan, with a fair assur-
ance that the Carlyon law will later
be adopted and relieve the people of
direct taxation for the hard-surfac-
ing work and even the interest on
the bonds.
The main question before them
was the sum to submit to the voters
for ratification. When the matter
was first preached $4,000 was sug-
gested as sufficient to complete hard
!surfacing of the Olympic highway
from the county line to about Shell
ton. with the government aid, but as
the plan became clearer in the pub
lie mind the board found a strong
sentiment for going the limit"
which would be close to $4,000
and make available 100000 for
the purpose, in the hope that the
hard-surfacing might be carried on
as far as the Skokomish river bridge
on the Olympic highway.
While 1t does not appear possible
to make even that sum 60 so far
under existing conditions of labor
and mcterial, it is quite likely that
there will be such reductions before
the final contracts were let as would
extend the work further than the
board has considered in it's plans.
So the board decided to submit the
limit figure to the voters, although
the full amount OF bonds issued
might depend on future circum-
stances.
The date of election has been set
for June 14th, and preparation for
the election is under way.

WAR WORK OF THE KNIGHTS OF
COLUMBUS.

An Illustrated feature article in the
current number of the Literary Digest
tells about the war-work 4 OF the
Knights Of Columbus. f,4
when the knights Of Columbus .
says the Literary Digest, spent hun
dreds Of thousands Of Their s0WA. mon
~ on everybody's brothers and sons
90 long as those sons and brothers
wore the nations uniform, they emeFg-
ed from the class Of mere amateurs
IN public service" The story of the
knights emergence into wider sphere
Is told in interesting details by
Mr.. John B. Kennedy. In the artic- !
mentioned above, from which we ex-
tract the following:
'sThe K. Of c. secretaries went up
to the front with privates as privates,
and the hearty rebuff, You're mon
ey's no good with u.s. was sung to
all kinds and conditions Of fighting
men by every man with the X. Of G.
chevron on his arm. The Knights
picked men Of middle age who had
boys OF their own in the service and
were in the psychological state to treat
all other boys vicariously as their
own sons. Then, knowing that in tha
rush and turmoil of action company
kitchens were often abandoned or de-
stroyed, the Knights rolled kitchens
right up under fire-providing hot
drinks to thousands of boys on enter
ing and leaving the hell of battle.
when supplies ran short, the SOL
diers were warned and given a vote
In the disposition of what remained.
It always went to the 'buddies' COM
ing from action. The X. OF c. men
lived with the fighting men and were
OF them. Statistics of their num-
Der and their achievements are unnec-
essary to augment the mark they made
on the American soldiers heart
any more than the fact that they
have. through their seventeen hun
dred and more councils, obtained over
ten THOUSAND jobs for returned sol
! diers and sailors augment the argu-
ment Of the very existence and or
ganization as a factor in their peace
work.
sThe knights have made good be-
cause they placed themselves in the
attitude of fathers to the boys-real
fathers who know that their boys are
real men. Their success has made
It impossible for the old, riotous re-
ligious prejudice to become rampant
again. And that is not the least prof
It America gains from the war. When
men like Edward N. Hurley, Charles
M. Schwab, Admiral Benson, and
Joyce Kilmer could be attracted to
join the ranks of the X. of G. before
the organization earned it's war pres
tige, it requires giant of all proper
tions excepting Observation-Disclosures
to question the good will and good
work of the organization now"
