american Company Sets
Out Its DUN Rubber
Plantation In Sunatra

The largest rubber plantations in
the world are now owned by the
United States Rubber Co. and are pro-
ducing millions Of pounds Of rubber
annually from the estates which had
never nourished a rubber tree before
1910" said d. c. Booth. OF the Quick
Tire Service
Nearly a hundred thousand acres
were acquired on the east coast Of
Sumatra but a degree or two north OF
the equator, through the purchase
from a Dutch company OF lands for
merry devoted to growing tobacco
More than 5000 laborers-largely re-
cruited from the 10000, 900 inhabit-
ants Of the adjoining island Of Java
are employed in the care Of 10000
rubber trees. Oversight largely rests
in the staff Of Dutchmen, assisted by
force Of American technical ex-
perts-
"One Of the most Impressive sights
to be seen anywhere is the view from
a slight eminence 'lver a sea OF rub
Der trees stretching for miles in
every direction, the metalled roads
over which American motor cars
travel at better than forty miles an
hour. the attractive bungalows Of the
estate managers, the sixty-five miles
of narrow gage railroad. the extern
sive telephone lines. the model hos
pital OF the east, the well built coolie
lines. the factory and storehouses-
all the property OF an American cor
poration. and the result OF American
foresight and on q truly mammoth
American scale"

JUST NATTER
Of SELECTION
Economy of Truck General
ly Accepted, Now Mere
~ Question of Kind.

Prejudice which has existed for
years against the motor truck is Civ
ing away rapidly now and it is rarely
the case that a business man will not
in the course Of a conversation say
something about the use Of the motor
truck in business" says manager r
A. Lester. Of the Lester Motor Co. Mr..
Lester says that he has never had
cause to regret the step he took il
entering the truck selling field. Not
so many years ago, and. in fact. at the
time I started in business for myself ="
says afr. Lester. TO talk motor truck
TO a business men or farmer or
ranchman was to start an argument
against the truck and not in favor
Of the truck As a rule it was: Why
should take any chances in changing
my business round for an article so
unstable as motor truck% And it
was then up to tie salesman TO show
that man, IL possible, where he would
be the gamer
Now the question Of the changing
Is not the leading one. but the bust
ness man is DESTROYS Of securing def
mite information on the size Of truck
he wants, the size best suited for his
business and on the particular make
Of truck he should have. The sale OF
the truck is made with nine-tenths OF
the business men, and the salesman
must show today that 1t is his partic-
ular truck that is wanted. In travel
ing west Texas and New Mexico l
have been struck by the unanimity
with which business men to whom
have been entirely unknown have ad-
mitted the necessity OF the truck in
their business. That is a change from
olden days"

Steps Taken To Enlarge
The Texas Gasoline Lau

The gasoline law enacted at the reg
ular session Of the Thirtysixth legis-
lature and which became effective
June IS is to be enforced according to
R. II. Hoffman, jr.. state drug and
food commissioner, who has completed
arrangements for itse enforcement.
Under this law the carrying out Of its
provisions is placed under the surls-
diction OF the state drug and food de-
partment. A force Of seven or eight
inspectors will be employed with ap-
proximately 80 local ones scattered
over the state
The chemical analysis will be done
by the chemists Of the drug and food
department at Washington.
The law on the subject is very ex-
plicit. The gasoline sold in Texas from
now on must not only come mp to the
minimum standard, but section 3 OF
the law requires all dealers, garages,
etc. to display in large letters the
names OF the manufacturers and the
places OF manufacture Of the product.
Under section s. all Plumbing devices
be correct and deliver the stated
amount of gasoline at three speeds. %
fast, slow and medium and it shall be
the duty Of the inspector to seal and
forbid the use Of AMY incorrect pump
ing or measuring devices until such
time as the defect is corrected.
The penalty for a violation Of this
law is a fine Of from SIS to $500 with
a Jail penalty Of from one month to a
year.

CROSSING j. s.
Tour Intended to Demon
strate Efficiency Of Army
Transport Service.

Army officers are sure enough Of
the present efficient service of trans
port corps. hut that the public may
be convinced in tie matter. the first
army transport to cross the continent
Is now in the middle west on its way
from Washington TO San Francisco
via the Lincoln Highway.
The tour IS intended as a demon
stration OF the efficiency OF our army
transport service and to stimulate in
terest in a natural system Of high
ways. adequate to take care OF the
RAPIDLY growing transportation needs
OF the country The train is carrying
its own supplies as well as repair
units to remedy any mechanical OF
other trouble that may develop.
The trucks are being oDerated un-
der the direction Of brigadier general
Drake, chief Of the motor transport
corps.
ACCOMMODATING the train IS a big
pneumatic tired Goodyear truck that
last fall completed a transcontinental
trip from Boston to san Francisco
the train is now following. The
GOODYEAR truck is being operated by
the same drivers that handled it on
that pioneer trip. that their knowl-
edge Of road conditions and their eX-
perience in driving through the des-
ert and mountains may be available
when needed
This. however. is not the first time
that the war department has awaited
itself Of the service Of the Goodyear
trucks. for when the first motor
truck train was put through from
Detroit to Baltimore. delivering new
trucks. from the Detroit factories 70
the seaboard, for shipment to France.
the government courteously accepted
the company's offer to furnish truck
from its regular Akron-Boston motor
truck line. to pilot the train over the
route selected. inasmuch as the Akron
Boston trucks were already operating
over this route.

TRUCK DRIVERS
GET BIC MONEY
Texas Oil Fields Prove
Real Gold Mine for Driv-
ers of Big Trucks.

One hundred and two dollars for a
haul Of 20 IL miles would be consid-
cred a pretty good wage for motor
truck drivers here. but it is just an
ordinary days return in the newly
opened oil fields Of northern Texas,
according to E. Gordon Perry. Of the
Lone Star Motor company. who has
just completed an investigation Of the
truck needs Of oil prospectors in that
section Of the country.
But then the trucks do not do an
ordinary days work. Hauling capac-
ity loads over Ranger fields, where
the only road is perhaps a trail and
where the storms Of the Pan Handle
add misery to the ordinary dfscom-
forts OF the trip, isn't a job for the
driver or truck either which lacks in
any point Of construction. It may be
worth even the high wage Of . CENTS
per mile hundred weight which lucky
trucksters Of the oil region are get
ting from the ever eager oil prospec-
tor.
While the rates charged by drivers
vary somewhat in the different fields.
they seldom fall below those given
above, and in view OF the difficult
tasks which must be performed by
both the drivers and the trucks. II is
extremely unlikely that these prices
VIII be lowered The route between
Moran, Taxes, and the Parks field. for
instance, is traversed by trucks carry
ing loads averaging 1900 pounds
each, over trails and roads that can
be considered little less than unbroken
prairie
In addition to the capacity load Of
me trucks themselves, practically all
trucks take trailers also. With these
trailers the trucks carry the long oil
Wen castings 50 necessary to the well
drillers OF the oil region MANY Of
these trucks and trailers are now
being equipped with collapsibIe bodies
which viii be used to haul grain on
the return trip, thus adding materially
70 the profits OF the truck driver as
wen as moving part Of the present
huge crop OF wheat

Supply company. Barney has pur-
chased one OF the hundred Packards

machine with Liberty motor. The
Barney Oldfield Tire company has

justified IN making a trip through

FAILS TO DAMAGE IT
