CAPT. MURRAY A. COBB
NOW IN SWITZERLAND.

Capt. Murray A. Cobb, of Washing
ton, who has been seriously Ill as
result of military service in France,
is improving. Word to that effect has
been sent here by Mai. Gen. Charles
G. Morton, commanding the Twenty
ninth Division. to which Capt. Cobb
was attached as aide-de-camp to the
commanding general.
The message from Gen. Morton ex-
planned that Capt. Cobb was desper-
ateIy ill in Base Hospital q at Tours,
France, and the physicians thought
his opportunities for recovery would
be increased by removing him to
Switzerland. That recommendation
was followed. Capt Cobb stood the
trip well. and the latest word is that
he is improving.
Mrs. Cob is abroad. having gone
there to help nurse Capt. Cobb some

m afraid that we are going to have
dbuble in that respect as there is a
great deal of dissatisfaction now and
suppose you will hear of the trouble
over here before long, both in the
army and in civil life No doubt the
authorities have a great deal to con-
tend with and do not know Just what
would be best at the present time.
However, it is not to be wondered
that trouble seems to be brewing in
that the men are getting fed up by
being held, while others are allowed
to have all of the best pickings in
everything that is going.
When they do come out | suppose
they will begin to cut wages down.
and then | suppose we shall have
trouble in that respect.

when the history of the motor
truck industry is written, the year
just past, will probably be pointed
out as the year in which the motor
truck came into its own.
mo one industry was more in the
public eye during 1918, or the year
previous, than the motor truck in
dustry. Given its big opportunity by
the world war and the consequent
necessity for lettering transportation
facilities, the motor truck immedi-
ately made good. And now even the
most skeptical will readily concede
that the field of motor truck useful
ness has barely been scratched and
that the new giant industry is bodnd
to grow to even greater proportions
"And now, taking all things into
consideration, believe that the year
ahead of US will be by far the biggest
year we have ever known. Our sur
vey of the commercial car business
in the leading centers of the country
recently brought out the fact that
Republic dealers, without exception,
anticipate an increasing demand for
trucks of all sizes or capacities and
that their business is going to depend
almost entirely upon our ability TO
turn out as many trucks as possible.
The war has served to demon
,t.a. r~-.s.-s.~ 40 a"
other way, that the motor truck is
absolutely necessity to business
and that for short hauls it is more
valuable than railroads.
"As an essential vehicle of COM
merce. the motor truck has come into
the foreground and will continue to
be pressed into the business Of Amer
lea with increasing insistence until
every highway from the Atlantic to
the Pacific will be traversed with this
willing and capable bearer of bur

The Camp Fire
Once there lived a girl named
Betsy. Her parents were quite
wealthy. She was about the age of
twelve or thirteen years. One time
her friends asked her to join the
Camp Fire. She was going out on a
camping trip. They were going to
the seashore. It was quite late when
they reached there. They had a good
supper and went to bed. In the morn
ing they all were fresh and bright.
Betsy and another girl were sent up
to get a pail of water. On the way
up they saw two men looking and
staring ct them. They got afraid and
ran and got the water. Betsy said,
Lets hide in these bushes and see
what the men do" All at once Betsy
felt q hand on her shoulder. She
Jumped up and all at once she found
herself getting dressed to 60 to
