with these old-fashioned methods of
wholesale selling An interesting
sample OF the successful use of such
car is that Of b. a. RiveS, a shoe
salesman in southeastern Alabama.
In August. 1918, Mr. Rives bought
a Dodge Brothers business car and
abandoned the southern railroads as
means Of covering his territory.
Since that day the car has been in
continual use. carrying the salesman,
driver and a bulky 700 pounds of
samples. To the Dodge Brothers
dealer from whom the car was pur-

statesmen QUIT WAITING
LONG TIME FOR TRAINS


To eliminate expensive selling
methods. many wholesale house have
equipped their sales forces with light
delivery cars, with the result that
their representatives have been able
to triple the number of towns visited
carrying their samples with them.
This growing practice bids fair to
alleviate to great extent the trou-
bles Of the travelling salesman. Iso-
lated towns and once-a-day railway
trains have made many a salesman
throw up his hands in disgust and
desert his profession for fields less
wearisome and nerve wrecking.
Not only did such railway facili-
ties tend to reduce the ranks of the
travelling statesmen, but they were re-
sponsible for an increased selling
cost of dry goods, shoes. groceries,
hardware, hats and similar staples
Using the railroads, the salesman was
able to make but one town a day,
where several hours were sufficient to
call on the trade. The remaining
hours were spent in enforced idleness

SEVEN REGULAR
 DIVISIONS HAVE STRENGTH OF ONE

Washington. Sept. 16-The seven regular divisions which the war de- partment plans to maintain at full strength today comprise only 3l, 413 officers and men, or but little more than the strength of one division. The First division because of it's parade here tomorrow has been kept as near intact as possible and now includes 17,OOO men including temporary per sonneI. but the other six divisions average around 2,5O0 officers and men each.
 On Sept. 9, the army numbered less than one-tenth of its peak war strength, 4O1, ,979 officers and men be- ing on the rolls. There were 46jOOO this country or enroute home.
 designations of officers in the reg ular establishment continue to be filed in numbers which cause officials undisguised concern. Since August 1, 397 resignations have been ac- cepted, of whom 49 per cent. were in the grade of first lieutenant Bet ter opportunities in civil life and feeling that advancement in the army will be slow in times of peace are believed to be the reasons for the majority of resignations.

FRUIT GROWERS
 SHOULD ORDER
 TREES AT ONCE
Fruit Trees Scarce.

Fruit growers w"o are expecting to plant fruit trees. ther this fall or next spring should make plans to order their trees a once, says s. P. Hollister, Pomolog. at Connecticut Agricultural College .t StOrrs. Nur- serymen report y much smaller stock of trees on i'd than ever be- fore.
 The importation of stock from Europe has been [ iOusly hampered and labor conditio have affected many if not all m serymen. Prices probably will be Ich higher than formerly. The SC, ef ? winters have checked paintings in many sections and consequently nurserymen have hesitated to propagate as heavily as in previous years.
 The outlook for fruit growing in Connecticut, either peaches or apples, or both, is very bright. But this does not mean that everyone should try to put out an orchard. Fruit growi g is a special business and not everyone will succeed. There will be times when everything will seem to so wrong, but it's then that the grower who loves the work will play the game" and keep his orchard in condition to produce a paying crop the following season.
 Fruit growers and nurserymen should work together more than they do at present, says Mir. Hollister The nurseryman has to gamble" on the varieties which will be called for one. two or three years from the time he propagates the trees. Thousands of trees often remain unsold and are a dead loss to the nurseryman because that variety may not be in favor two or three years after 1t was budded. It is often possible for a prospective grower to order his varieties a year or two ahead of the time he expects to plant. Any nurseryman will be glad to grow trees which are ordered in advance, and the transaction would probably be to the advantage of both parties
