Corps, U. s. Al
A new development is coming into
the highway transport field, in which
farmers companies are being formed
by farmers to operate their own high
" ay transport fleets.
The farmers. more advanced in
ideals today than ever before in the
worlds history, have apparently de
sided that where it is possible %
work in harmony and co-opers lively,
they might as well take the money
as TO 81 the city feIler" take the
proc CGs The result has been A rep
id development during the past sum-
mer of the farmers companies.
These farmers companies are being
worked out in two ways, one by a
truly cooperative application =: tile

the forming corporation companies
with farmers money to Duy trucks to

AUTO AIDS IN ALL

with the concrete evidence before

aliEe more and more the Importance
of the automobile as a dominant fac,
tor in both our individual and ma
tional life" declares A. G. Seiberling,
vice president and general manager
of the Haynes Automobile Company,
Kokomo. Ind.
The automobile is valuable aid
in transportation, in the social and
civil advancement of mankind, and,
by helping to break down the bar
riers of seetionalism. it is assisting
in the capitalization of the spirit Il
nationalism so essential to the United
States in these days of reconstruction
and upheavals of the SOCIAL stratum.
1T is also an influence in binding
together the family, the foundation of
modern society and civilization. The
automobile is a power in furtherinG
the cause of right living and its re-
sulting conditions of health and hap
piness. Name any phase OF life, be ii
business or pleasure-any activity.
whether local or national-and you
find the automobile enters into 1t in
some way.
without the automobile. victory
would not today be browning the al
lies achievements. The suffragettes
used the automobile to good advan-
tage in every State when they toured
from town to town and addressed hun.
dreds Thousands of people from the
tonneaus OF their cars. Doctors Ere
scribe automobile driving for worn
out business men and fatigued society
women. The farmers have .Ldapted
the automobile to hundreds of Uses On
the farmland a recent census shows
that 90 per cent OF the people of the
United States live IN the rurai COM
munities. Reports from Haynes deal
ers show that a large per cent OF
their sales have been MADE to farm
ers. The efficiency of the rural mail
deliveries has been increased greatly
by the use of the automobile in place
of old Dobbin.
These are but a few examples Of
the part the automobile is playing IN
the life Of the people" concludes Mr..
Seiberling. And as car production
increases and our roads are improved.
the Importance of the automobile will
increase proportionately."

The Giants arrived here this morning
and spent the afternoon watching the
Dodgers defeat the Cardinals. The stress
Of the game could not keep all hands IN
the New York delegation from talking
over the recent series in Cincinnati.
If ever burg was baseball mad It IL
Cincinnati at the present time. All Ohio,
In fact, is stirred up over the doings of
the ReuS. EVERY one III tne buCkeye
state. from Gov. Cox, who attended both
Saturday and Sundays games, down to
the bootblack. Is doing nothing but sleep,
eat and live baseball. Headlines In the
papers clarion the fact that the battle
the Reds are putting up Is the greatest
thing that has happened for Ohio In
years.
Never since the old Red Stockings
went year and a half without q defeat
has any Cincinnati team made SO splen-
did a showing as have the Reds this sea-
son. Not in the memory OF the oldest
inhabtant has a Cincinnati club led a
National League race so late in the sea-
son
Before leaving Cincinnati the New
York scribes were told by Frank Ban
croft, the veteran business manager of
the Reds, that the New York series had
been the most profitable by far In the
history of the club. The paid attendance
at Sundays game was close to $4,000 and
10000 more were on the outside when
the gates were closed at o'clock, an
hour before game time.
As far as worlds series scenes SO,
Cincinnati does not need worlds series
next fall. for the recent series between
the Giants and the Reds was a worlds
series In everything except the name.
