Silos Deliver Jags, to

brought here by the managers of sew
eraI of the large dairy ranches
The silos have proven source Of
supply for hard liquor" for wander
ing tramps. The fluid has a real
kick" in II due to the fermentation
or sweating OF the grain. The liquid
seeps through the cracks and hoboes
guzxle 1t to their hearts content.
Jess Romm. manager OF big dairy
ranch near this place. says he dis
covered that the nomadx who used to
ind shelter in the railroad cu!verts
were overrunning his ranch and
nysteriously getting drunk.
He finally traced the source Of sup
ply to the silos. He says that the
water poured in at the top and
trickled slowly through the tanks,
causing the fermentation that pro-
duced a lively kick" out of which
his UNLIMITED guests got results"

On the whole, according to Mr..
Brock. the American shoe and leather
business with Argentina 10 conducted
in satisfactory way, taking into con-

trade situation. Many OF the COM

Importers who are annoyed by the

SET ASIDE FEAR Of
. POST WAR CONDITIONS

The fear and trepidation with
which some few business men viewed
postwar conditions has been entirely
put aside. In fact. those who viewed
conditions with fear and trembling
have been fairly run over and swept
o. their feet by an avalanche OF bust
ness which has nearly put them out
Il the running.
There is, right now, in spite OF the
high cost OF living and other bug
bears, more prosperity among every
class OF people than has been seen
In generations. And times of prosper
ity and high prices must necessarily
be times OF action. Those who hest
tated about buying motor cars are still
hesitating for the reason that fac
tories cannot begin to fill orders.
When being interviewed recently.
Mr.. NJ. B. Hoagland. sales manager of
the Signal Motor Truck company.
Detroits said: Months ago, there was
tn same hesitancy on the part of mo-
tor truck buyers. but at the present
time 1t Is taxing our every facility, to
keep up with orders for Signal trucks.
I'm these days when every line Of
business is growing by leaps and
bounds, there - more than ever an
insistent demand for rapid and de-
pendabie transportation, not only for
rendering proper serviceto customers,
but for the prompt delivery of ma
terial In order that no department
OF an organization be kept idle at
an enormous overhead expense.
Waits and delays are more expen-
sive than heretofore, and II has be-
come evident that it Is an extrava-
gance to be without motor trucks.
Furthermore. increased volume of
business has developed new and i'm
perative needs for motor trucks. Then
again. greater saving can be made
because of the higher cost OF labor
and material which motor truck
will replace
Il do not know whether 1t will be
as hard to purchase a motor truck as
it is a pleasure car. due TO the de-
mand exceeding the supply, but we
do know that it will tax us to the
limit to turn out enough<Signal trucks
to meet the demand. and. build them
to the standard to which we insist that
every Signal truck be built"
