VICTORY LOAN DRIVE
PREPARING CAMPAIGN
CAPT. CONNER WILL TAKE A
HAND-SPECIAl TRAIN
FOR IDAHO.

A. H. Conner, formerly president OF
this city, whose home is now in Sand
point, has proffered his services to
the state victory loan committee and
they have been enthusiastically ac-
cepted. The proffer was made through
the following telegram 10 the state
chairman from Congressman Addison
T. Smith:
Captain Albert H. Conner of Sand
point, Idaho. has recently returned
from Europe, and is now at the Wal
ter Reed hospital in this city on ac-
count of a shattered elbow. He ex-
poets to return to Idaho in two or
three weeks, and tenders his services
in connection with the Liberty loan
campaign Please communicate with
him"
! After leaving Wallace Mr.. Conner
entered the practice of law at Sand
point and was soon thereafter elected
to the legislature from Bonner county
and served one term as speaker OF
! he entered the first officers training
camp at Preside and won the rank of
captain. After being held at Camp
Lewis as military instructor, he was
sent to France in time to participate
in some of the hardest fighting in
which the American troops We're en-
gagged, and in which he received the
wound from which he is now happily
recovering.
Features of the Drive.
Machine guns, whipped" tanks, re-
turned soldiers and sailors, trench
mortars, flag bombs and a military
band Of 25 pieces from Camp Lewis
are some of the features which will be
carried by the Victory loan special
loaned by the Liberty loan committee
of the twelfth federal reserve district
to Oregon, Washington and Idaho for
use during the fifth loan.
j. V. Whip, general manager of the
train; Charles e. Army. assistant SUI
pervisor of agriculture of the North
ern Pacific, and Joel L. Priest, public
ity manager of the Idaho state central
Liberty loan committee, had confer
ences in Boise Sunday and Monday
at which the itinerary of the train
was mapped out, as was also sched
ule which will place the train three
days in north Idaho and eight days in
the southern part of the state. So
far as can be ascertained at the pres
ent time, the Victory loan special will
be in Idaho some time between April
6 and 10.

The ship by truck" movement has
been brought into being by a large
number of circumstances. The move
ment originated with the F'irestone
Tire and Rubber company, but it has
spread from one corner of the country
to the other and is rapidly gaining a
foothold in those foreign countries,
which have turned their eyes from the
hectic turmoil of war to calm peaceful
pursuits.
The movement is directly an out
come of the war. Prior to the time
when all railroad facilities were over
loaded by the demands of the troops,
it had never occurred to anyone, that
there were other means of cross coun-
try shipping. When the great eastern
cities demanded goods from the middle
west, and the railroads were unable to
do the hauling, the eyes Of the manu-
facturers were cast about for a substi-
tute. Undoubtedly they hardened back
to the days of transcontinental wagon
trains, when great fleets of prairie
schooners wendell their slow painful
way across the plains and deserts
This set them thinking. Why not use
trucks in trains even as the generation
before had used wagons drawn by
oxen.
The thought was father to the ex-
pertinent The first great trains OF
freight landen trucks were started
from the middle west in the winter
bound for eastern markets were cry
ing for goods. They made the trip will
cuccess, and from then on it was {
common sight along the main high
ways to see hundreds of trucks rollins
east. Each one laden with goods need
/ ed and needed badly to throw the HUI
| back to his sphere of existence.
Trucks were needed behind the line.

ments and pipe lines. now depend on
trucks to distribute the finished pro-
ducts. Greater capacity and an in
creased delivery radius give trucks a
wide margin of economy over horse
drawn vehicles.
Garages, service stations. dealers
and repair men in congested cities and
small towns are served quickly and
efficiently by trucks from storage
tanks. Trucks are likewise supplying
the farms. who are dependent on fuel
and oil for the operation of power ma
chinery which is rapidly changing the
complexion of farming activities and
rural life. Here the truck is a basic
factor in the great movement to mo-
torize the farm with trucks and trac-
tors.
Ship by truck is a growing power
The oil industry is but one example of
the stimulus lent to all American bust
ness by this better method of trans
portation. The public interest that has
been displayed in the many ship by
truck demonstrations. held during the
past six months in all parts of the
country, places this movement in the
very forefront of our reconstruction

TRA|LERSR REDUCE
COST Of HAULING
|F|GURESPR0vE| It.

If the bookkeeping on motor trans
portation is properly done, the cost
per ton mile of hauling will include
an amount to represent depreciation
on the truck. Because of its few
wearing parts the trailer as an adj
junct to the truck will make material
reduction on this charge. To use a
concrete illustration, let US take a
81, SCOT ton truck and an $500 two
ton trailer, which we will assume
makes thirty miles a day for. say three
hundred days year. A fair charge
for depreciation on the truck is 20 per
cent per year and on the trailer 10 pei
cent. This will amount to soc per ton
mile for the truck and 9-10c per ton
mile for the trailer, or for the two as a
unit 2Sc, a saving of approximately
so per cent per ton mile on the prepre-
citation charge.
The main wearing points on a IT'LL
| ity Trailer are the bearings and tires
The former are of the same construc-
ton as that of the truck and subject
to about the same wear. The trailer
however, is much easier on tires. A
mileage Of from twenty-five to thirty
thousand miles is not uncommon and
the writer knows of some having run
fifty thousand miles. A moments con-
sideration will convince you of tn,

in France. Supplies were needed there
too. Both the supplies and trucks in a
great degree were made in the middle
west. The supplies were loaded on
trucks, the trucks started for Hoboken,
and the two together were loaded on
transports. Thousands of great army
trucks carried their loads to the sea-
board, run abroad ship, made the trip
across. and started for the battle line
with the same load of supplies they
started with from this country.
This was the first great lesson
taught. The truck had come into its
own. Instead of eliminating the heavy

soon became apparent, that it could be
useful in the rural districts.

TRUCKS VITAL NEED
IN REDUCING COST
OF OIL PRODUCTION
By Il. S. Firestone


When you buy gasoline for your mo-
tor car. your farm engine, or kerosene
for your heater or lantern. you benefit |
directly from finely organized meth
ID OF transportation and distribution.
Your purchase of a quart of engine oil
on a pint Of benzine has called into
play not merely manufacturing facili- !
les of world wide scope. but a system
n moving goods that stands as a pat
ern for all modern business.
In seeking the crude oil and bring
ing It from inaccessible regions to the
~efineries. the truck and the trailer
play a part that few laymen appre
ciate. And in bearing the many pro-
1ucts of petroleum to every city and
countryside throughout the world, the
motor truck is a familiar sight That
The truck and trailer play so important
a part in this distributions ample evil
lence of their speed, certainty and in
aXpensiveness.
Ship by truck in the oil industry is
making it easier, surer and less costly
for every one of us to use the oil pro-
ducts that have become an essential
Of modern life.
Poor roads, or even no roads at all,
are usually to be met with in the oil
fields. where heavy machinery and APP
paratus lumber, tanks, boilers and
supplies of all kinds must be moved
And nowhere is time more vital than
in drilling and equipping wells. Trucks
and truck tractors are now in constant
operation in such territories. hauling
At lower cost and in shorter time than
is possible with teams.
As an example, in Oklahoma an s.
000pound oil pump was loaded on a
truck with a winch, which was oper-
ated by the truck and moved to its
new location in an hour. Using horses
il was estimated that the loading alone
would have required half a day. In
Wyoming, an engine base weighing
$4,000 pounds. which had previously
taken twenty-four horses to move, was
rugged on a 5-ton chassis with trailer
and successfully hauled to its desti-
nation.
The rapid development of the fam
Gus Burkburnett field was made pos
sible largely by motor haulage of the
necessary equipment. A 81 ton truck
owned by the Humble Oil and Refin-
ing company performs work equiva-
lent to that Of six double teams, which
may be hired for 80 a piece i'm the
Burkburnett field. One of the large
manufacturers and setters-up OF oil

peace They are being distributed all
over the country, and are proving just
as efficient in peace time as they did
during the war.
1t is g. proven fact that fifty per cent
Of all perishable products raised in this
country is wasted. And why? Simply
because shipping facilities are not
great enough to get them to the con-
sumner. No greater an authority than
Herbert Hoover has endorsed the ship
by truck movement as tending to de-
crease this great and extravagant
waste. If this country were not the
richest in the world it could not afford
to waste its heritage with out of date
transportation facilities. From forty
to sixty per cent of the potato crop
yearly is wasted through a lack OF
transportation. Think of the millions
to be saved when trucks are put to
the use which manufacturers are now
designing them.
The more trucks there are on the
highways the better roads the country
will have. The more capital invested
in trucks the more influence there will
be brought to see that highways are
made better. The two industries 90

To manufacturers, the motor truck
today is as important a unit of their
production facilities as the very ma =
chimes which make their goods. The
use of the motor truck has wrought
changes in every department Of their
business and has done much to in
crease their production capacities and
/ to lower their overhead expenses.

it can do, and the limit of where il
can go is determined only by the con
