while the countries of Europe
rebuild their ruined cities and re-

do this before the Commonwealth

vancement.
THE teachers and citizens Of
Kentucky are pioneers in this move
ment, which has now become ma

ed in other countries. The move.
ment which they have so unselnshly
fostered. demands the best that is

battle Of this crusade against illit-
eracy in Kentucky is being waged
Il honor the moonlight school
teachers and SET a high value upon
the service which they are volun-

FARMER is BIGGEST USER : !.
OF MOTOR TRUCKS TO-DAY

The biggest users of motor trucks
In. the world are the American
farmers. with 1873 motor trucks
in operation.
Manufacturers come second with
75,92S, and retailers third with 74,-
4S6.
These figures are taken from re-
liable statistics for the year 1917.
Estimates for 1918 show a tremend-
GUS increase in the number of mo-
tor trucks in use; but with the
farmer still in the lead.
1t is estimated that during 1918
approximately 350,000,000 tons of
farm products were hauled to mar
ket in motor trucks by the farmers
and gardeners of the United States
The actual operating figures av-
eraged for the United States show
that motor truck transportation is
twice as cheap as horse drawn
transportation.
The motor truck handles life's
necessities.

legislate against the motor truck is
to take food away from those who
need 1t and to increase its cost
The motor truck is the peoples
friend and servant. and legislation
aimed to injure and handicap mo-
tor truck transportation Is a blow
against the best interests of the
people - both producers and con-
sumers.
Much of this 350.000.000 tons of
food products hauled from the farm
to the city by motor trucks was of
a perishable nature, and hundreds
of thousands of tons of 1t would
have been lost but for the rapid
transportation possible with the
motor truck. ... ..., .....
Legislation aimed to hit motor
truck transportation is the result OF
narrow-minded attitude of some
who hold mistaken notions that the
motor truck hurts certain interests.
The motor truck serves the needs
of the people. 1t is for the people,
both producers and consumers, to
see that the motor truck is given a
square deal and not Disseminated
against.
Discrimination against motor
trucks is discrimination against the

PIGMIES MORE ANCIENT
THAN ANY OTHER RACI

Pigmies, apparently of a single
"a cial stock, are scattered over many
parts of the world, and nobody Can
give q plausible guess as to how
their distribution was accomplished
Wherever found they seem to lie
the earliest people-veritable Abod-
.igines-and all of them are much
alike physically, though different
somewhat in complexion. They ars
suspected to be more ancient than
any other race now surviving on
the globe.
To this race belong the so-called
monkey men" of the mountainous
interior of India. Likewise the pot
hellied natives of the Andaman
islands, in the Bengal gulf. who are
said to "look like babies all thor
lives" These latter wear their hair
in frizzly tufts and adorn them
selves with necklaces made from
the bones and teeth of defunct rela.
tives.
In Madagascar are the Behosy,
black dwarfs, who when pursued
jump from tree to tree like mon
keys. They are so timid that some
times they die of fright when cap
tured.
The bones of pigmy people are
plentifully found on the island of
Formosa, where doubtless the last
of them were wiped out by the Ma
lays some centuries ago. Formosa Is
really a northern member of that
great archipelago which we call tho
Philippines. though separated from
the latter politically. Hence 1t is net
surprising to find dwarfs of the
same race to-day inhabiting Luzon
and Mindanao. where they are
called ,Aetas.-Detroit News.

SERVICE SHOWS
MERIT OF TIRE
Weight, Color, Plus, ETC., Sec
ondary If Tires Perform
Right

some of the technical suggestions
oHered to the tire public to-day for
making scientific tests of tires right
at nome bring memories of the days
score of years ago when the bak-
ing powder companies had repre-
sentatives going from house to house
boosting their own goods and show
ing the poor quality of competitive
lines.
The representative of one baking
powder company visited house wife
and, using many bewildering chem
lcal terms, told her that her whole
FAMILY was in danger of slow but
sure death If she used a baking
powder which fizzed when combined
with certain chemical The agent
then showed her how every one of
the competing brands fizzed in a.
most terrible manner, while his was
fizzless.
The next day along would come
the representative of another house
with information that powder
mhich ala not eftervescese contained
the germs of death.
Motorists are becoming impress-
ed every day with the truth of the
assertion that the one sure test Of
tlre merit Is service. There is no
other rule of thumb by which quail
ity may be determined. Because a
sire is heavier, or has more plies, or
mas particular color tells nothing
ABOUT its wearing quality. If It
gives good mileage it has good
value, and if it does not give the
miles all the made-at-home tests
amount to nothing.
In discussing this matter. the
United States Tire Company SAYS it
hnds that while some motorists
snow an interest in the technical
features of tire construction, nearly
all are interested most in knowine
that a tire has thoroughly estab-
lished reputation for merit and that
lhe company which makes 1t has a
reputation for square dealing.

APPERSON PRICE
ADVANCED AUG. Is
All New Models have Been
Slightly Increased
During Month

From the general offices of the
Apperson Brothers Automobile Com
pany, in Kokomo, Ind, comes the
announcement that 1t has advanced
its prices on the standard models
The Apperson Anniversary which
is built in the seven-passenger tour
ing and the four-passenger tourster
will remain at the same price, which
is $4,000. The new Standard $40
seven-passenger and the four-pas-
senger Sporster in the same model
will list at $3.50.
In announcing this price the COM
pany informs the dealers that the
cars will carry some additional
equipment with heretofore has
never been furnished.
The enclosed models on the
standard basis will list at $4,000 in
all mely-seven-pa passenger
Sedan, passenger Sedan, four
passenger two-door coupe, three
passenger two-door coupe, and the
four passenger four-door Sedanette
The Anniversary enclosed jobs Will
list at $500.
These prices became effective on
August is and will apply on all cars
shipped after that date.
In speaking of the reason for this
advance on the part of the Apperson
Company, T. e. Jarrard, vice presi-
dent for the Apperson Brothers, had
the following to say:
"The trend of costs since the
- &.ft sio
ward instead of downward. We
figured naturally that with the re-
turn of peace, prices would newt
ably be forced downward. But we
were wrong. Instead of going down
they have been constantly on the
upward trend and 1t does not now
look as though the end had yet
been reached.
Figuring upon reduction in al
costs-of labor and material alike
we announced the new Apperson fol-
1920 at very low figure. Then
even though we say our error some
time back, we decided to go ahead
as long as we could. But now the
end of the trail has been reached.
I'VE are now forced to advance
the price on all standard models.
Have you given any seriou:
thought to the changed condition:
which are causing the upward tren6
in the price of all commodities?
80 seemingly the very conditions
which are forcing the present ad'
vance in prices on the part of very
nearly all motor car manufacturers
will make the market receptive. sc
that the goods will move without
any more resistance at the higher
prices than they meet at the pres
ent list"
