PATIENCE CEASES
TO Be A VIRTUE

A United Press staff correspondent,
Webb Miller, writing from Coblenz,
gives an interesting accounts of how
officers of the American army have
sometimes to deal with people who
d. not appreciate their position since
the war. He says:
The Prussian provincial and city

they are working in harmony and evi-

DDS of Americans.
After taking charge of the civil
affairs end of the occupation, Colonel
I. L. Hunt sent for the president Of
the province and the burgomaster.
for a conference. At the appointed
hour the secretary of each of the dig
n~itaries showed up at the conference
room to represent these officials.
Colonel Hunt Immediately sent them
back with a message that the presi-
dent and burgomaster should present
themselves in person at his office
within half an hour. In about ten
minutes the indignant officials ap-
peared, protesting that their secre-
taries were empowered to speak for
them.
when your secretaries have any
business over here, they are at lib
erty to see my secretary" Colonel
Hunt told them, "but when | send for
you, l want you"
Then he gave the ruffied officials a
bit of advice. In the midst of his talk
the president arose and announced
that he was forced to leave to keep
ar important appointment.
What is this important appoint
nent?' Colonel Hunt asked. The
Prussian declared that it was a very
important conference with "a man
from Bonn"
"Sit down." Hunt ordered. There
ie only one more important appoint
ment that you a have, and that is
with General Dickman, commanding
this army"
The uneasy official sat down and
listened with attention to the remain
der of Colonel Hunts speech.
"You fellows needn't presume be-
cause we treat you decently that it is
a sign of weakness on our part. 1t
is merely an indication of our pa
tience. Our patience is not endless.
Your government presumed upon our
patience once too often in times past.
and it lost you the war"
With these words ringing is their
ears the two officials departed. Since
that time they have co-operated with
the American officials to the best of
their ability.

last Tuesday reimbursing a certain
lady for the amount that the former

husband and failed to pay. reminds
us that said association ran a number

The newspapers would be charged
with both nerve and graft If they at

ture on the State. But then there's

TRUTHFUL PUBLICITY ADDS
TO MACHINES POPULARITY
Owners of Bucks Learn That Advertising Of Com
pany Is Correct; Purchase of New Car
Each Season Not Encouraged

There is no reason why a motor car
should be put aside at the end of the
season. like a straw hat. And the pen
and women who buy Bucks do not as
rule, follow this practice.
cit is surprising what a little money
we'll invested will do toward a Buick
just as good as the day it was bought.
OF course theexpenditure will vary with
each car, according TO the length of time
the car has been in service. the treat
ment il has received and the conditions
under which it has been run.
THE foundation is there to work on
foundation of good, honest materials
and thoroughly proved correctness of
design The lines of Buick cars have
always been conservative and in good
taste, and a new coat Of paint, properly
applied. will often so change the looks
of car that has begun to look weather
beaten that it would never be recognized
as the same model.
"A little tuning up, tightening of the
body bolts, replacing worn part here
and there, and the performance of the
car will be in keeping with its rejuye
mated appearance
Last years Buick is worth more to the
man who owns it than it is to anybody
else. particularly if it is not possible for
him to get a new Buick at present He

Hauling Wheat by Trucks

Part of the S4oO,0O0,O0O which Kan
sas farmers received for their 1919 wheat
crop will be used in buying motor trucks.
Twenty thousand Of the self propelled
grain and livestock carriers will be sold
in the Sunflower state this fall and win
ter, according to estimates made by
Kansas newspapers.
The same reports declare that in many
Kansas counties half the wheat crop just
garnered was handled by monster co
operative combines" which harvested
and threshed the wheat in one operation.
The wheat was threshed directly from
the standing grain in the field
This extensive use of the threshers In
the field while cutting the wheat made
the crop ready for the market earlier
than usual. 1t brought home to the
wheat grows, in forceful manner, the
need of quicker means of transporting
the grain to market, to elevator or to
railroad loading point, than was afford
ed by horse draw vehicles.
Helps Labor Problem.
Another factor came forward to argue
for the motor truck. The difficulty ex-
perienced in hiring men to help in the
harvest made it hard to spare men to
drive the wagons. The wheat grower
learned to appreciate the value of the
truck Ex 4 A5vr saver. II one k-uck

WILLYS CORRECTS
WRONG IMPRESSION
WHY'S Corporation and the Will
lys-Overland Co. Are
Not the Same.

Emphasizing the fact that the WHY'S
corporation and the Wllys-Overland
company are two separate corporations
operating under entirely different man
agements, John n. WHY'S, president of
both, today made public a statement cor
Yeeting any possible erroneous impress
sioDs.
.Willys corporation should not be con-
fused with the WHY'S Overland COM
pany," said Mr.. WHY'S in his statement
to the automobile industry and to the
public. These are separate and distinct
organizations.
"Willys corporation formerly was the
Electric Auto Lite corporation. Recent
" it has acquired the factories, patents,
equipment and manufacturing talents of
the New Process Gear corporation and
the Duesenberg Motors corporation.
with it's several plants, it is now en-
gagged in the manufacture Of automobile

States. 1t was estimated that 10000
would be produced in the next II months.
The fact that the railway strike IN
England caused that country to rely
upon the motor truck for the transporta-
ton of daily necessities from the farm to
the city calls to our attention that the
United States nigh at any time be
required o do likewise.
I'm this eventuality we would have
available a total motor truck tonnage
Of 100000, the statistics as of July 1,
1910, tell us. This tonnage would be far
from adequate, but would do much in
saving our cities from an actual food
famine. A few more years and the truck
tonnage developed should be such as
would insure plenty Of food for the
cities of the United States in crisis.
In this connection / wish to make 1t
clear that the ship by truck movement
as initiated by II. s. Firestone does
not picture the motor truck competing
In the future with the railroads. AS We
see it the railroads will always find in
the long haul field as much business
as they can handle, and this business
will be supplemented by motor trucks
acting as feeders. and made more eff
ficient by motor trucks taking from the
railroads the vexation and, to the rail-
roads, Improbable short haul business,
only part of which is now handled by
light traffic and expensively maintained
branch lines"
THE motor truck means a revoluti-
onizing of the transportation system Of
the country. but revolutionizing which
will spell only greater efficiency for the
railway systems. 1t means both high
ways and railways as a solution of the
freight traffic problem, one compile
ment of the other, and both taking care
Of the ever-increasing traffic demands Of
the country"

will do the work of four horse e-drawn
wagons, he reasoned, one man on truck
will do the work Of four men on wagons.
The reports made it clear that the
Kansas farm is rapidly becoming mo-
torized. Wheat prosperity is taking the
drudgery out of farming. It has given
the farmer opportunity to get his mind
above mortgage raising problems and
given him time to spend in considering
time saving and labor saving factors. AS
a result he is adopting the tractor and
the truck. Crop returns this year give
him the opportunity Of purchasing liber-
ally.
The popularity of the motor truck is

''4s rule, the man who buys mo-
tor car is first attracted to that car by
advertising or by hearing about the car
from friends remarked Il. t. Strong,
general sales manager of the Buick Mo-
tor company. Talking with Buick ow-
ners soon convince a man, he said, that
the statements made about the Buick
cars in Buick advertising are correct.
Purchase and use of the car demon
startes still further that the Buick car
is as good as Buick advertising says IL
is-and further, that all Of the attributes
mentioned have a real place in motoring
service.
"For example, beauty is of no service
in getting n car out of a mud hole. You
need power. Power, on the other hand,
may be entirely secondary on a social
occasion where appearance is quite es-
sential. While everything that goes to
make up performance would be Of little
value to the owner if he could not de-
pend upon it with reasonable certainty.
Buick owners find this happy combi-
nation in Buick cars, and for this reason
they continue to buy them. Now that
the demand for new Bucks is over
whelmingly and it is difficult to pur-
chase them in any territory, Buick ow-
ners are disinclined to take a second
choice. They know what the Buick car
will do for them-what it has done for
them in seasons past. And rather than
experiment with some other make that
they are not familiar with, they are hay
ing their present Bucks put in repair,
repainted where necessary and are con-
tinuing to drive the cars upon which they
have learned to depend.
'sThe Buick Motor company has never
encouraged the purchase of a new car
each season. Rather, it is proud Of the
fact that many cars built by this com
pany years ago are still giving satisfac-
tory service-just as proud as it is of the
performance of the very latest models.
Great Falls daily tribune., 1919-11-09

A conspicuous feature of the earliest
news of the tie-up caused by the rail-
road strike in England was that motor
truck service would furnish supplies to
the cities and towns whose teemlng pop
ulation would without such timely and
efficient help, quickly be reduced to the
verge of famine.
Ship-by-truck advocates in the United
States point to this emergency service
of the motor truck in England as a
striking illustration of what the truck
can do. The educational campaign they
have been carrying on since the signing
of the armistice, they further point out,
is for the purpose of bringing the truck
into use in normal times in this farm-to-
city service in which it is proving its ca
pacity in an emergency.
''The ship-by-truck movement is grow
ing in popularity daily by leaps and
bounds" writes L. Farr, chief Of the
Firestone ship-by-truck bureau, at Ak
ron, O., to E. =. Schwab, director of
the Great Falls branch of the bureau.

Firestone Ship by Truck bureau at

investigators find that the farmer who
is keenly alive to the possibilities of the
motor truck on the farm is well aware
of the value of good roads. Direct econ

"The small service asked of the far

LEAGUE NOW AN ISSUE

Washington, October. 16.tThe lea
que of nations has been made politi-
cal issue in the campaign of 1920 and
has been made so by President Will
son alone, according to the view of
Representative Simeon d. Fess, OF
Ohio, chairman of the Republican
Congressional Committee.
"There never has been an substan-
tial belief that Wilson would compel
the Senate to accept his views on the
league" said Mr.. Fess. "From the
very beginning of the controversy Re-
publican leaders have endeavored to
prevent the league being made par
tisan issue, in order that every Amer
lean of whatever party utilization
might be free from party bias for in
dividual action. In spite of this the
Administration leaders close to the
President have assiduously pushed
the measure in Congress and out of II
for party advantage, as evidenced by
the action of the Democratic National
Committee endorsing it. The attitude
of these leaders will make it an issue
in spite of the efforts of Republicans.
The Democratic party must accept
the consequences of an issue made on
the foreign-made league without the
slightest alteration. No party can
win a contest before the American
people on a foreign issue"

Senator Reed Smoot and Congress-
man Fordney have introduced anti
dumping bills in the senate and house
designed to prevent Germany or any
other country from selling goods in
the United States at less than cost in
order to destroy. American business.
In presenting the measure to the Sem
ate Mr.. Smoot called attention to the
fact that there are today in German
ports, ready for export to this country,
enough dyestuffs to supply all our
needs for two years in the future. If
they should be brought in here and
sold at low price our dyestuff indus
try, built up during the war, would
be speedily destroyed. Surgical In
struments the Senator cites as anoth-
err product, practically our entire sup-
ply of which was imported from Ger
many before the war. Now the do
nestle demand is met by American
manufacturers, but already many or
ders are pending for German goods
at prices that make it absolutely i'm
possible for the American manufac-
turer to compete.
