transportation advantage Of good
roads leading in and out of Omaha
TO other towns and cities, has been
boom to wholesale dealers of the
city. The truck has come to the
rescue to relieve the business jam
and congestion. Upon the motor
truck depends the rolling stock
of Omaha wholesalers. There is no
established business house in Oma-
ha that does not boast of trade as
sisted by auto trucks. Users of
commercial cars have found the
motor truck exceedingly more econ
omical than the prosiac team. One
principal advantage of the auto
truck over the team is the cost Of
upkeep; when the car has been put
up after use. there is no further cost
attached to upkeep that is SO neces-
sary with a team such as feed, shell
ter and care.
Trucks are built for every known
kind of business from hauling dirt
to Transporting booze. The truck
is a prominent factor in the oil
business; is a boom to the express
man; is operated seven days a week
for the public utilities corpora
tons; hauls produce for the farmer:
is necessary in the creamery BUSH
ness; makes a serviceable means Of
hurried transportation as an omni-
bus for schools; supplies large car
rying capacity for the furniture
dealer; hauls material for the con-
tractor; is paramount means OF
hurry for the fire department; de-
liyers coal and wood for the fuel
dealer; extends business of delivery
for the grocer and butcher; assists
the baker in supplying fresh baked
goods to the home; and greatest of
all, the truck is indispensable to the
manufacturer.
One of the most prominent manu-
facturers of heavy automobiles in
America said of the truck: THE de-

In conclusion, it would seem that
the predominant position Of Ameri-

universal desire for the automobile
truck. The commercial car has been
tried, and until today it is a success
and a bon to business. Omaha has
rallied to the idea and practice OF
truck usage.

No Reduction in Tire
Prices for Some Time

No immediate reduction in tire
prices can be expected, in the opin-
ion of an executive of one of the
three big tire manufacturing COM
panies.
The time required to bring out
put back to normal after 50 per
cent curtailment, necessity OF build
ing up a stock that will take the
next three months excess produce
ton, and the heavy selling approach
ing and lasting until August, pre-
sent logical reasons to this man
why prices must stay where they
are, especially as most makers are
well supplied with material at pre-
vailing high prices.
At the same time, he points out,
if all tiremaking capacity were now
employed 100 per cent, there would
be a large overproduction, a con-
dition that may easily develop be-
fore the end of the year.
If placed side by side, the Ger
man guns which have been delivered

sounded in the superior court when
Griffey took out writ of replevln for
the truck which wrecked his own car
and for big Chalmers automobile.
This morning Chief Henneman
served the writ and took the two
vehicles away from M. b. Meredith
and turned them over to Griffey.
Meredith was driving the truck
which sailed into the Griffey Car that
evening. After the smash he gave a
bill of sale to Griffey for a seven
passenger Chalmers and the Ford
truck. Griffey in the superior court
filed petition alleging that he is the
absolute owner of the two motor vehi-
cles, and that Meredith maintains pos
session of them. On this Judge Nc
Namara issued the writ on which
Henneman seized the two autobomiles
and placed them in possession of Crit
fey. They were stored in two garages
for the present. II Meredith contests
Griffeys ownership of the cars, the
matter will be tried at the July term

FAMILY
MOVE RESIDENCE
They Were Registered at the Hotel
Holiday Last Night After
Party in South Ninth
Street.

Mr.. and Mrs. Mat Hogan removed
from 116 South Ninth street to 521
Lucas avenue Sunday evening and
were domiciled there until noon to
day. They then moved into their
summer home at Fifth and Concert
streets.
They had party before moving that
lasted from Saturday evening to the
time of their departure from the
Ninth street home, which was a very
happy affair and a good time was had
by all, although the number of guests
was limited.
Mrs. Hogan will be remembered by
the philosophical dissertation she
gave out not long ago on the psychol-
ogy of habit with special relation to
the physiological action of alcohol on
brain cells and muscle fibres, with
some consideration of its Connection
with domestic relations and industry
and moods. This was one of the best
analytical studies of dipsomania ever
made and was published as an inter
view in The Gate City on a previous
occasion when Mrs. Hogan Was stop
ping at the Hotel Holiday. Mr..
flOSdn Is d1oO ldi IiolIi uihAio ~ 1870 -
and both are old residents of Keokuk.
This morning Mr.. and Mrs. Hogan
had a conference with Judge Mona
mara, of the superior court on socio-
logical subjects, and it was a result
of this that they moved into more
comodious apartments at Fifth and
Concert streets. Mrs. Hogan took her
apartment there for sixty days and
Mr.. Hogan took his for only thirty
days, now, although Judge Mcnamara
inks this will be extended another
hirty days as soon as the first term
has expired.
J. NJ. Code, neighbor, arranged an
escort for Mr. and Mrs. Hogan from
the South Ninth street apartments Ia
Lucas avenue, and it was in charge
of John Griffey in full uniform.
