LYNCHBURG HAS BIG FIRE
GOUTHER IS NOT ABANDONED

Atlanta Dec. 31.-A majority of the
aviation fields of the army in the
State of Georgia are to be closed
down for the winter. This fact was
developed today by Representative
Crisp, who had up with the War
Department the future of Souther
Field at Americas He was informed
that twenty of the aviation camps in
the country are to be practically clos
ed down for the winter pending the
framing of a permanent policy regard
ing aeronautics. Only eight fields are
to be used on anything like a large
scale for the next few months.
While Souther and nineteen other
fields are to go into winter quarters
this does not mean their final aband-
onment, as the War Department has
not decided how many training
fields will be made permanent but
the consolidation of training schools
for the present is deemed in the in
terest of economy. Some twelve or
fifteen officers and about 200 men

FARMERS KNQW
 VALUE IF OUR
 MOTOR TRUCKS
Use More Motor Trucks h Business Than Merchants Or Manufacturers-Inter- national a Favorite

Ask this question of the average business man-''Wbat branch of indus try is the largest user Of motor trucks .oday?' The business man feels con- Ident that there isn't much room for argument here-the answer is teo ob- Jiousi Who but the retail merchant can be the largest user? Just look at The big fleet of motor trucks operated by the largest department stores of our cities and the innumerable indi- yidual trucks owned by the small mer- chants, The merchan: must be the chief user No? We'll then, the man usacturer. Of course. (This with pat JOniling Condesceusion.1 For f it isn't inc merchant it must o1 necessity be inc maEufactU er But-he's wrong again.
 The farmer of tbc United States is the largest user of motor trucks in the world. Reliable statistics compiled for 9l1 showed that there were 79,1S9 mo- for trucks engaged in hauling farm products at that time, topping the last. The manufacturer comes second with a total of 75,92S motor trucks to their credit, and the retail merchant third with d total of 74,4S6. l. is estisna ted that during 1918 approximately $50, = eeo.odN tons of farm products were han dicd ly motor trucks by the farmers ohi truck gardeners of the United States.
 The motor truck has attained a place Of such importance and prominence on the American farm that during the past year Ehe United tSates department of agriculture conducted an extensive country wide investigation to deter mine the prac' cal value of the motor truci, 10 the farmer. The result of tiLs investigation was published in the monthly crop report for October, 1918. issued by the United States department oi agriculture. This report showed that the per ton mile cost of hauling farm products with motor trucks was in many instances less than one half that Of hauling with horse and wagon.
 The specific figures indicate that the per ton mile cost of hauling wheat or corn with motor truck is Is cents as compared to 90 and S3 cents. respective ly. with horses. This is the average for the United States, the figures varying of course in different localities. The report shows that in the south, hauling cotton by horse and wagon cost the planter IS cents per ton mile, whereas he IS now doing the same work with the motor truck at the nominal cost of lo cents per ton mile.
 Aside from it's value as an economi. cal transport unit for handling crops, the motor truck is used very extensive iy for delivering live stock to the biy packing plant centers. During the year ot 1918 total of 19s,O76 head of live stock was delivered to the South Oma- lld stockyards by motor truck. This total comprised 1SS,417 head of hogs, gS4S head of cattle, and ASH sheep stock was brought in by farmers from distances up to 70 and so miles. Motor

postoffices.
 The American farmer is the largest producer ill the world, so it is only natural that he should be the largest motor truck user-hiS needs for this form of transportation are greater than those of anyone else. And with the building and development of good roads he is bound to maintain the lead he has already gained.
 If one asks farmers what their pig gest problem is today. nine out of ten will say the shortage of help-there isn't enough help to go around and there isn't time enough to do all the farm work that ought to be done.
 Trucks Save Time
 Under present conditions the con- servation of time is of greater iT1por- tance than ever to the farmer-an hour saved here, another there, amounts up in the course of a year.
 Time spent working in the field IS directly productive-it results in larger crops or more acreage. Time spent on the road, is, in sense, non productive. To reduce this time is the aim of every busy farmer, so that the greatest pos sible amount of field work can be done.
 4hduy idIAuoIS nave SUlVeQ Lnelr prop lems with Internationai motor trucks. They are built to run every day in the year-the construction is right, the power is there, and they save time on the road. They are built complete in the large International plant at Akron, Ohio, devoted exclusively to bdiIding motor trucks. The heavy duty, four cylinder, block-cast engine is simple and durable: the sturdy internal gear drive rear axle will stand up under con- stant daily use-a heat-treated drop- forging carries the load, and live axle transmits the power. Quality is built right into every. part of the Information al motor truck.
 And back of this truck stands a $l4O,000,000 manufacturing organiza- ton with so years experience in build ing high grade machinery. Think what 1t means to an owner to have an organ ization like this with 90 company branches and thousands of dealers back of the motor truck he is using.

truck deliveries by farmers are being made on a similar scale at all leading stockyards. A total of 575 motor trucks from the country loaded with live stock were counted in one day at Indianapolis last summer.
 The reason for the popularity of the motor truck in this branch of farm transportation is quite evident when it is known that live stock shrinkage saved by this method over horse and wagon or rail shimpent amounts to enough, as a rule, to offset the cost of motor truck operation.
 The most recent development in rural motor truck transportation is the rural motor express. In Iowa alone there are 1S7 motor trucks operating on regular advertised schedules, serv- ing the farmers along the routes cov- cred. In Arkansas, one rural motor express concern cover a route of 100 miles and hauls mail to twelve inland

D|DN'T LIKE NAME IF GERMANY COURT
 TREATS HIM LIGHT

Rudolph Theobald got the woman vote. He was a defendant yesterday in Justice De Souza's court in a case Tn which he was charged by Frank Arm strong with assault. Both were en- ployes of a laundry, and the trouble s1ew out of an assertion of authority by Armstrong over Tneobald.
 Though both occupied the same plane in the laundry and though their juris- dictions were independent of each other, one day last week Armstrong went to Theobald, told him he was tenn porarily assistant manager of the laundry and called him down" Theo- bald resented his interference, and said that Armstrong called him names Whether he did or not, he appears to have gone through the laundry assert ing that he had called" Theobald and alluded to him as German blockhead.
 Up to three years ago. the epithet German would not have been an cpl thet, but now there are a good many things one may be called which will provoke less resentment. Some of the girls about the laundry reported the boasts and insults of Armstrong, and Theobald called on him to demand a. cessation of his remarks. It ended with Theobald pushing the face of Arm strong. Armstrong said he was hit in the face.
 A dozen Of the girls from the laun- dry were present and all who were called to the stand testified that "Ru- dolph'' was peaceable and everybody liked him, while Frank" was quarrel some and a general unfayorite about the laundry.
 But as the assault had been admitted. Theobald was found guilty. fined s1O, and the sentence was suspended. The law, though, was vindicated, and that is the chief end of all litigation.

ASKS REHEAR|NG IN
 S3,000,000 TAX CASE

The attorney generals office, by Wiley l.. Jones, C. M. Candy, and Alex ander Baker, have filed in the United States circuit court of appeals in San Francisco petition for 8 rehearing in the famous Standard Oil cases, often called the 's3,000,000 tax case" which was argued in San Francisco and re- manded to the district court for trial.
 The contention upon which the appli- cation is made, among others. is that the court in it's decision seems to take the position that the board of eGuaii- zation assumes the right to tax the earnings of the appellant. The attor- ney general contends that no effort was made to tax the earnings of the Standard, but that the board did con- tend that they could use the net earn

To the People of Louisiana

In the course OF the last few weeks the Standard
Oil Company of Louisiana has, through the columns
of this paper given its readers the facts about the
oil situation in this state particularly affects the
Pine Island field

fell away abruptly with the end of the war; and how in
eviaby that off the demand for Pine Island crude
which, up to that time, had been in demand almost
solely fuel OIL ..,.-...s.e
1t then shown, by the publication Ct letters
and kilograms, how earnestly the Standard Oil Com
panty of Louisiana tried to find other outlets for Pine
Island crude the refneries of this country alone
but of Canada as we'll. It was shown how these eff
forts failed because Pine Island crude owing its in
herent qualities and characteristics has little to rec
ommend it for refining purposes as compared with the
high-grade crudes from the Caddo and other fields
1t shown that the only market for Pine Island
crude fuel oil and that even here it had no
chance to compete any large scale with other crudes
Throughout this agitation attempts have been
made, sometimes by direct accusation, sometimes by
nnuendo stir up hostility against the Standard Oil
