Four-Fifths Of Livestock
Comes To City By Truck;
Load Up For Return Trip!

About eighty per cent of the live
stock brought into Richmond markets
is hauled from the country by motor
truck, says Jerome Shurley, local
stock dealer.
Shurley says that this method of
transportation has only been adopted
during the last four years. This
system has grown SO quickly that no
one system or organization has been
used. To remedy this defect the In
dianapolis Chamber of Commerce has
inagurated movement dealing with
return loads of these live stock trucks.
Thomas Snyder has been appointed to
head this movement and one of his
first statements was to say that this
movement Is to be made state wide
as soon as possible, in oRder to re-
lieve freight congestion, and help out
in the present crisis.
Shurley says he heartily endorses
this movement for local use and hopes
a bureau will be established in Rich
mond in the near future. AS for
shipping stock to such great distan-
ces as indianapolis. he Is not so en-
thusiastic, for he says that in normal
times the railroads can haul freight
as quickly If not more so. than the
truck, and for half the price but for
Richmond and Wayne County, Shurley
wishes the return load movement luck
and success.

FARMERS PLAN TO
PROTECT SELVES, IN
FEDERATION MEET

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 8. - Plans
were laid for the creation of a 5000. 900
guaranty fund to protect the rights
and advance te interests of Indiana
farmers for at least three years. at
and advance the interests of Indiana
Federation of Farmers associations.
County and district leaders from all
over the state were present and In
dorsed the following program, outlined
by Lewis Taylor, General Secretary:
l. Agriculture should and will or
ganize, as capital and labor have or
ganized, to protect itself and to de-
velop new phases of production.
2. Farmers must get together to
take up methods Of meeting the prac-
tees of the packers and the grain
men. where these methods are not to
the benefit of agriculture or the COM
munity at large.
8. Farmers must protect themselves
on the question Of freight rates.
4. Problems Of farm management
and business methods must be met.
s. Agriculture must be protected
against unjust and unfair legislation,
by a group of alert students of farm
problems.
Mr.. Taylor elaborated on each topic
to show how the farmers conditions
can be improved by cooperative &C
ton. The present railroad situation,
he said, hurts the farmer, who has no
means of defense.
Organization Needed.
But of we were organized, as capi-
tai and labor are organized" he de-
clared, Eve could quickly stop such
outbreaks as the railroad trouble. By
the simple threat of Withdrawing food
supplies, we could preserve the econ
omic peace and keep the wheels of
| industry moving"
The strike trouble, he added, Is only
| one of many that confront the farmer
right now. Some means must be
! found of removing the advantage held
over farmers by the packers and grain
men, and freight rates and charges
| must be equaliZed, according to Sec.
rotary Taylor. All these problems are
acute and must be solved, he added
but probably the most serious prob
lens ahead is that of taxes.
| IF we had been organized months
ago we would not be at he mercy OF
such a taxation system as is now i'm
! posed upon US. We must get together
and protect our own interests in
egislation at all times, and we have
just had lesson that teaches the i'm
portance of doing So
The guaranty fund, which will be
used to further all these purposes, Is
to be raised in campaign beginning
August IL.

Australian Has Thrilling
Day; Pays Every Time
Conductor Yells Farrell

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal. Aug. 9. -
Frank Cox, wealthy real estate man
of Sydney, Australia, who is staying
at the St. Francis, passed what he
called "a deucedly thrilling day"
Sitting in the hotel lobby, he stuck
his thumbs in the armholes of his
waistcoat, threw out his chest and
proceeded to unburden himself.
"You know" he said, these San
Francisco trains are too bally expen-
sive. 1 got on the Powell-street tram
this morning and rode about ten
blocks, and it cost me IS cents"
How could that be-" one Of his
hearers asked.
well, by Jove, about every other
minute that bloody tram guard came
around collecting fares. The zones
are about the shortest I've jolly well
seen. I'd hardly paid one fare before
he was after me again yelling, Fares,
please My eye, it was most discon-
certing."
I'm Australia, doncherknow." he
added, I'VE pay our fare and are given
ticket. When the guard passes
again, we simply show it to him and
he goes about his business"
Cox stopped a moment for breath.
"Everybody's in such a bloomin'
rush ERE. a bloke cawn't keep is wits
about i'm. This mornin' I got into a
blarsted Shawn shop and before !
know it a porter grabs my coat at the
door, a barber 'ustles me into a chair
and fathers me, another chappie
blacks my boots in 'urry, and be.
fore I'm finished, young 1apper
comes up and shines my nails. It's
beastly fast here, by Jove."

LUMBER INDUSTRY
REV0LUT|0NIzED
BY A|RPLANE use

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9. - To say
that eight pieces or wood will revolu-
tionize the world, it's business, its
method of living, and even it's method
Of thinking, seems like a big order,
but that is just what the eight pro-
pellor blades on the R-34 wilt do, in
the opinion of Charles Lathrop Pack,
president Of the American Forestry
Association. With over-ocean trans
portation demonstrated, Mr.. Pack
says the peace burden placed upon
the forests of this country will make
the call upon them due to war seem
Insignificant, and he adds that one of
the biggest reconstruction problems
before the country today is a national
forest policy.
We have seen four sets of pro-
peller blades take the giant dirigible
R-34 across the ocean and back says
Mr.. Pack. MANS dream of centuries
is now realized for he can go over or
around a storm in world-round air
travel. These eight blades are made
of wood, and it is well to remember
that the experts have found nothing to
take the place of wood in these blades.
I do not believe they ever will. In air
r't~ne construction most of the mater
ial is wood.
Wood Used In Everything.
Those blades are seven feet long,
but much more wood than that is used
in turning them and finding just what
is wanted that will stand the terrific
tests. A propeller makes about 100
revolutions a minute, so it easy to see
that the blades must be right before
men risk their lives with them. With
this new method of commerce opening
wondrous opportunities immediate at
tention must be given to national
forest policy in this country.
Europe's Lumber Needs
'Europe's need now will be around
seven billion feet year for some time.
Many Of the forests of France have
been destroyed and the American For
estry Association is collecting a fund
to help reforest the devastated areas.
This, however, will be of no help in
the present emergency, for that work
Is for the future. Just so IN America
we must look to the future.
There Is an end to all things, and
there is certainly coming an end to
our forest supply if the question Of a
national forest policy is not solved
and solved quickly. The forests of
France saved her and her civilization
The same call will be made upon the
forests of the United States, because
the drain of business. VIII we meet
that call?The airplane and the dirigi-
BILE have drawn the countries of the
earth closer together than ever in his
tory. No longer can we live apart.
The whir of eight-propeller blades
will soon be multiplied by million
more, and they carry a message to the
business world that must be an
swered"

Export Freight Cars

Der received during the corresponding

not, his sub-conscious mind, looking

fury, did not give to him the inspira-
tion to hand down to posterity an
amphorism concerning all mankind. I
almost think he did. The life Of the

tendencies point that way, especially
so, when Christmas approaches.
