Old Farm Team Is Being Ousted By
 The Auto Truck

Good evidence of the decisive man ger in which the Oldsmobile Economy truck has proved itself fitted for the 3rmors service was contained in a ftor received last week from the Oidsmohile factory by the Ferguson KeeIer company. IL was copy of q letter received from the Oldsmobile dealer in the town of RoseviIe H., a village of 500 inhabitants, in reply to an inquiry from the factory as to how he succeeded in selling 15 Oldsmobie trucks in his territory since January
 I sell my trucks to farmers" wrote the Illinois dealer "Roseyille. a town of 500 population is. of course. a far mer town. All of our business comes rom the farmer and. in fact. up to five years ago l was a farmer myself.
 We have farmers here now hauling %l90 pounds every day to town. and never experiencing any trouble. They have plenty of power and speed and HIta the specifications this truck has can't see why. with reasonable care. l. won't last a life time
 If crops turn out as good as they look now, l want to see every farmer iu Warren county hauling his grain to town this summer and fall in an Olds- mobile Economy truck"

Bought His First
 Car 22 Years Ago

Twenty years ago, J. l.. Blod- gett, a prominent broker with offices in the Consolidated Realty building, Los Angeles, bought his first automobile Blodgett resided in Wisconsin at that time and had become acquainted with Elmer and Edgar Apperson, brothers, who were accustomed to come to Wis Cousin on hunting expeditions. Natur- ally. therefore, when he contemplated buying a motor car he thought only gf the product of his friends, which was then regarded as the only sue cessful motor vehicle. It was being marketed as a commercial product even in those early days.
 The car Blodgett bought had two g,9ht- -sallOn cylinders hung on the sides. These served as the water sup ply and was the nearest approach 10 the present radiator then devised. The car was chain driven and made a lot of noise in operation, but it was a step in the path of progress, and folks from all about the countryside used to travel 10 Blodgetts home by horse and wagon to look at the 'horseless carriagc.' Repairs were somewhat complicated in that early period, and whenever this car refused to operaTc as it should the owner telegraphed the Appersons at Kokomo. Ind, and one OF the other would go to Wis consin and fix if.
 After buying three Apperson cars. Blodgett drifted away from the fold of AppersOn owners. He wanted to eX- pertinent. However he could not d. Norce himself entirely from his early Iove, and a few weeks ago he chanced to see one of the new anniversary models on the streets of Phoenix. He did not even identify the make of the car by it's appearance. He was so at uacted that he made an investigation
 and says he got one of the surprises of .is life when he ascertained it was an ,upersou. Although owning a high elade eight cylinder car the great
 strides that the makers of the anniver- -ary model had shown so impressed him that he decided at once he would have to have one and accordingly placed his order with the local agent uf Appcrson Bros Automobile com rlny for a tourist model

OLDSMOBILE SERVICE.
 IN ARIZONA

It was only a little more than one year ago when the Ferguson -Keeler company were depending on a factory distributor in Los Angeles to supply them with their Oldsmobiles After @ few years of this source of supply the number of cars obtained from Los Angeles was soon found to be made qIatc-
 That Los Angeles should not be de- pended upon to supply Phoenix with DIdsmobAes due tO the increasingly heavy demand for these cars here, was -oon realized by the Olds factory at Lansing, Mich. Arrangements were thereupOn made by the factory to dis tribute Oldsmobiles throughout the state through the Ferguson Keeler company. direct from the factory, thereby appointing the local represen- tauves a direct factory distributor of Oldsmobiles for the entire state.
 Dealers were immediately appointed in practically every large town in Ari- z0na. An ample supply of cars was assured them because of the tremen- dous orders placed by the Ferguson Keeler company with the factory for clrs Parts of every description were supplied them while the local agency set about to completely equip thelr store rooms with every conceivable rlrt ol an Oldsmobile Tn doing all oi this. service to the users of OldsmO- piles was the prime consideration.
 All during the war, due to the un- usually heavy bookings for cars, at nc lime was there a real scarcity of new odds cars in Arizona although no one could predict what the early future held in store. Through close attention 10 business, proper advertising and b. being backed by a car that represents the highest possible value in their price class, the Ferguson -Keeler com pany have grown to be the larges factory distributors of high grade au- tomobiles in the state, today.

And so I went on and on through

toward the chateau my resolution
grew.
My elbow grated against the tunnel
wall. stepped sidewise toward the
center and ran against the wall oppo-
site. The light Of the stars was clear
In front of me and the cold wind blew
upon my face, and squeezed through
into the same scooped-out hollow
which had entered on the same after
noon during the course of my journey
toward the chateau.
The little river gurgled ut my feet,
and In front Of me I saw a candle
nickering in the recesses of cave, so
elfinlike that could distinguish it only
by shielding my eyes against the moon

Sometimes, Miss Hammond said, a
patient would be brought into the hos
pital with his leg smashed to pieces.
Instead of making hurried amputn-
tion, every effort was made to save
the injured limb. 1t was put into
frame, and In short time the smashed
bones would take position. knit, and
begin to grow together, while the splin-
tered bits would gradually work their
way out of the leg through the flesh.

New York.-NIiss Eva Hammond Of
che American Red Cross, who returned
recently from Europe after nearly five
years service with the allied armies,
and who wears decorations of the Brit

the wonderful results achieved In re-

of the American and allied armies.
Miss Hammond, whose home Is in San

of the American Red Cross hospital
IN Neuilly, France.
'Tt is surprising how many things
can be done to man by a shell and
leave him still living" Miss Hammond
said. "And the things that can be
done to make Ii worth while for him

Dental surgery is one profession

no chance to put these theories into
practice, except in widely Isolated
cases. The war proved that those
theories were sound and practicable; !;
Il afforded them means Of develop

Million Homes
Needed in u. S.

and high cost Of materials prevented
the construction Of houses which the
natural growth Of population rendered
necessary. Then came Secretary Nc
Adoo's appeal for the restriction of
building operations to n minimum dur
ing the war. For time building vir.
tually stopped. Funds that otherwise
might have gone into homes. business
blocks, and factories were invested In
Liberty bonds.
Nor have some Of the cnuses which
checked building operations disappear

most MS scarce and In many cases more
costly than they were during the strug.

may have occurred in some of the
countries, there is none In the United
