TRUCK FINDS FAVOR
WITH SUGAR men

zone OF the latest industries to
adapt the motor truck to its trans
portation demands is that Of the sugar
cane and sugar beet growers," Gays
G. c. Frey, of the Kissel Motor Car
Company. "Sixty ,lillion tons Of
sugar cane, or more, are handled every
season by the United States and Cuba.
Up to now the expensive two-wheeied
OK carts handled the bulk of this cane,
The same. is true in the sugar beet in
dustry, where a hundred thousand
American farmers grow 10000 600
tons of sugar beets which have to be
hauled at an average OF four or five
miles from the farms to the factories
or beet dumps. Here, again the old
and expensive horse driven transpor-
tation method has been responsible
for delayed deliveries and expensive
labor.
.'Up to q short time ago the motor
truck had not been tried out by the
sugar industry. but gradually after
demonstrations had been held In
which 1t was proven that the motor
truck was capable Of carrying more
tons longer distances in q. shorter
period of time and at less cost, the
growers realized that II was to their
benefit both from an efficiency as
we'll as an economy and net income
standpoint to suppiant the old-fash-
ioned methods with the modern motor
truck.
Especially Is this true when It has
been found that by eQuipping motor
trucks with pneumatic tires Z ca
pacity load can be hauled from the
field over soft ground ~ effectively
as IL an invisible macadamixed road
led up to and into the beet fields. This
ability on the part Of the motor truck
to transport sugar beets or sugar
cane from the ground to the factories
or beet dumps has not only decreased
the time in harvesting. but has made
an enormous saving in the cost of
labor, permitting owners to accom-
plish the same amount Of work In less
time and with less help.
"This increased efficiency in the
production and transportation OF
sugar In. Its raw state means that
eventually sugar will undoubtedly be
sold at q reduced price to the con-
sumner and is only q repetition Of the
results the motor truck accomplishes
in practically every field. both in
dustrial and agricultural"

AUTO DEMOCRACY

Europe il in for more democracy
than, has to do with parliaments and
crowned heads. according to John NJ
Mcguire, president Of the Midwest
Rubber Association. Within the next
few years everybody il going to ride
in automobiles, just as they do here,
he says.
And ii is UP to American manufac-
turers to supply them" says Mr.. Ma
guire. Europe has developed the big.
the samptuous. the costly automobile.
European roads are excellent for one
thing. and big, heavy machines are
therefore logical. But the plain peo-
pie could never afford them. The nne
roads did them lot of good-to walk

tionsi to meet. of roads, of classes Of
people, and Of pocketbooks. developed
a flexible automobile supply that

commodated itself to all classes of
American people and will now have
to serve the same end for the Euro
peans.

CHICAGO NOW HAS UPPER DECK BUSES zSS4Sa'1 SS'1

EOS. persons, on 5s,027 round trips.
on March 25, 1917. it had nine buses,
and averaged daily 2.22s passengers.
This number increased with the addf-
tion of more buses and with the
growth of the motor bus idea of travel
until In August. 1917, 1t was 1904.
The cost of operating this f1fty-one
passenger bus averaged in December,
1917, 20 cents a mile. Designers of the
60-passenger closed-top car declare
that the increase in operaeing cost is
negligible.
The designers based their general
ideas of construction on the old bus,
which in itself Is radical, when 1t Is
realized that all the other motor buses
In operation in the United States seat
only forty-four passengers. The fifty
one passenger buses had their test In
$500 900 miles of actual service in
Chicago: and this experience was
utilized to advantage by the designers
Of the new bus.
It's length is twenty-five feet six
inches, the width seven feet six inches,
while the height from the roadway.
when loaded, is thirteen feet. 1t has
a wheel base Of 176 inches, height of

deck from roadway, eighty-six inches.
when loaded. Both decks are lighted
by a generator driven by the engine.
and the heat Is supplied by deodorized
exhaust gases from the engine.
The front tires are six-inch single
style and the rear ones are double,
with total tread of twelve inches.
The power plant is the A NJ B c
standard type of front wheel drive
made into detachable unit with
constant mesh transmission. The
brakes on the rear wheels are placed
so as to be applied approximately to
500 square inches Of braking surface
However. the covered upper deck,
with its forty-one windows, Is the
principal feature. OF course, this Is
made possible by the front wheel
propulsion and consequent low hang
ing body, enabling the cover to easily
clear elevated structures under which
1t must pass. The Chicago company
expects to install these vehicles rs
rapidly as they can be built. It IL

New Government Securities to Become
Part of Endowment
Fund.

At the state convention of the Ken
lucky Sunday Schools Association,
held in Ashland, KY, last month, the
following resolutions were passed by
unanimous vote of the delegates pres
ent, representing the Sunday schools
of the state:
1--WE indorse the movement inaugu-
rated by the United States Treas
ury Department for the organization
of Thrift Societies among the people
and recommend the organization of a
Thrift Society in every Sunday school
of the State"
Not only was this resolution passed,
but this movement is made as a part
of the Sunday school work, and in
many counties stamps are being pur-
chased and sent to the Kentucky Sun
day School Association to form part
of the endowment fund. Later, when
these stamps will mature, the funds
will be invested and the income will
be used for some new work among
the children.

CONTROLLING SOIL WASHING

In controlling washing, as in con-
trolling disease, preventive measures
are more important than remedies,
says M. F. Miller of the University of
Missouri College of Agriculture
Where washing has already taken
place, of course remedial measures
alone are left. If the washing has
been long continued, however, the
remedies are costly and it is rare that
the land can be put into as good con-
dition as it was in originally, even
with great expense. There are few
cases where the old saying that a
"stitch in time saves nine" is more
applicable than in the handling of
land to prevent washing.
A crop rotation which leaves the
land bare as short time as possible
is the most fundamental preventive
measure. Naturally corn must be
grown on most farms but there are
very few where corn must be grown
over one-third of the time on the in
dividual field and where all the stalk
land must lie bare during the fall,
winter and spring.
The use of winter cover crops. such
as rye, will go long way in prevent

ENGLAND KING
URGES SUCCESS
IN THRIFT DRIVE
RECONSTRUCTION CAN ONLY BE
FASTENED BY THE SPIRIT
OF NATIONAL SAVING.
WORK WELL AND SAVE WELL
Experiences Gained by America and
Britain In Great War to Be Of
Lasting Benefit.

1t is good thing for those Ameri-
cans who think their country is a hard
taskmaster in requesting economy,
saving and adherence to the many
rules and regulations made necessary
to any nation that has been at war,
to note that the government of the
United States is not the only govern
men which is advising its people to
live well, work well and save WELL
Our ally across the sea-England-
is uring the unity of her people in
thrift and saving, to keep the industry
OF that country from declining, which
would mean disaster and longer
period of reconstruction.
In a memorable speech made by
King George, not long since, in Lon
don, he said:
With the end of the war great
chapter in the history of our country
is closed. A new era which is open
ing before up brings its own tasks,
and the same qualities which have
carried US to victory will be needed
in full measure for the work of re-
construction. The spirit of union, self
sacrificing and patience which our peo-
pie displayed during years of fighting,
will still be required II we are to reap
the full benefit of the peace which we
have won. And those great qualities
must be reinforced by the homlier vir-
tues of industry and thrift.
''As was inevitable in the prosecu-
ton of the war, we have been losing
largely on our capital. Now that we
are at peace again our country urgent.
ly demands from every citizen the ut
most economy in order to make the
best use of the resources which our
nation possesses, and strenuous and
unremitting industry in order to in
sure the greatest possible production
of the necessary commodities. Without
these We cannot hope to maintain the
high position in the industrial and
commercial world, which we held be-
fore the war. am confident that the
ancient and sterling virtues of the
British people will not fail US in our
hour of need"
The confidence expressed that the
English people would bend every eff
fort in the interest of their country's
veal is splendid, and we of America
should give the same assurance to the
world that We will not allow our COM
mercial interests to falter.
To work together, united for the
welfare of our country-to.be economf
cal-to save and invest wisely 80 that
there will be no chance of losing, Is
the safest plan for each individual to
follow.
There is now better investment in
the world today than with the U. g.
government. The securities Of War
Savings Stamps and Treasury Savings
Certificates which she offers, bearing
4 per cent interest, compounded quar-.
terly, are as sound as the Rock of
Gibraltar.

LIVE STOCK SHIPPERS PRO-
POSE CLOSER ORGANIZATION

A series of six conferences on CO.
operative live stock marketing were
held at important centers in the mid
die west in September. These con-
ferences dealt with the common pro-
blems of live stock shipping associa-
tions and the formation of a national
organization to aid in solving the pro-
blems. Two of the marketing con-
ferences were held in Missouri, one at
st. Louis and the other at Kansas
City Men were in attendance from
Illinois, Missouri and Kansas, includ-
ing managers and officers of ship
ping associations, representatives of
farm bureaus, the Missouri state
board of agriculture, the agricultural
colleges of the three states, the feder-
al bureau of markets, and the agri-
cultural press. Representatives of
fifteen states are to meet in Chicago
in October, to draw up plan for a
national federation. H. M. Phillips,
of Palmyra, Missouri, Manager of

of this crop in holding the soil. Other
crops which may be used to advantage
are wheat, barley, and in the southern
