GROWERS USED
 PNEUMATIC TIRES LIN
 THEIR MOTOR TRUCKS

One of the sections of the country in which the use of motor trucks has worked a wonderful transformation is the fruit growing region of Florida. Here few of the more prosperous growers, chafing at the slowness of transporting fruits by horse and wagon, purchased motor trucks in an effort to speed up friut shipments.
 They soon discovered, however, that the use of solid-tired trucks did no. mean the elimination of their horses and wagons. . On the contrary tn, trucks represented an additional in vestment--for it was found that solid tired trucks could not leave the roads and pick up the fruit in the sandy groves, without digging themselves in and causing almost endless trouble.
 One grower equipped his truck with pneumatic tires and immediately dis covered that his truck could conquer the sandy fields and get his fruit to town quicker than before. Within nine months of this start the number of pneunlatic-tir trucks in this dis trict increased to more than 500 Of course, some of these trucks were already in use on solid tires. But thu majority represented new purchases.
 Just what assistance motor trucks have been on these southern fruit farms may be learned from the eX- perience of Mir. B. Kilgore. manager Of the West Coast Fruit company, Clear water, Florida.
 Until the middle of last season | used 10 teams for hauling fruit from the groves to the packing houses, a distance varying from six to 15 miles, y he says. ''These teams required two men each. When I learned of Good | year pneumatic tires for trucks I im- mediately bought four trucks. one | ton, a two-ton and two one and-a- 1 half-ton units.
 "We now use these trucks for haul ing fruits, water for spraying pur- poses about the groves, and for scat tering fertilizer. They have eliminated the need of many men and all of the teams except one. which we have re- tained to get around the places too narrow to operate the trucks.
 "In hauling fruits to shipping points we can operate our trucks from Is to 20 miles an hour. The old team method required from two to three hours longer for the same distance. We now save "A hours time between load ing at the groves and unloading at the packing house We had decided to use trucks for this hauling even though the cost of operation might be higher than with teams, for we were willing to pay q little more for quick delivery, but after the trucks had beer in operation for a few weeks we saw
 that truck operation was more eco nomical than the other
 with team hauling. the men at the packing house were often idle betweer loads But the trucks soon changed
 this condition. as the four of then poured a continuous stream of frui into the packing house.
 Through our groves all the hauling
 is in sand, much of it deep. In some
 places we are compelled to pass over
 9 distance of from half mile to a ful
 mile, through sand that would stop tho
 average touring car. but we load our Il pneumatic tired trucks to the limit an( f.ul consistently through this sand.

STATES ALL OVER
 TIE COUNTRY ARE
 COMMENCING WORK . ON ROAD SYSTEMS
By G. A. Kisse, President Kissel
 Motor Car Ccmpany.)

(This is the fifth article in the
 special good roads series by MT.
 Kissel and gives the reader good
 idea of the good roads work now
 underway in different parts of the
 country. Practically all of this
 work started immediately after the
 armistice was signed. when the
 building and construction ban was
 lifted by the government)
 We hear a great deal about the im portance of putting the nations high ways in order, of building more good roads, improving present highways, etc, to facilitate overland transporta- ton of goods and supplies, tying up industrial centers--in fact, connecting every important city, town and munich pality in the country with q network of good roads
 Is this all talk, or has the country really started this vital work? An in- yestigation to get the facts has re- suited in the following, and I know 1t will prove interesting for not only the public. but the business man and the automobile and motor truck manufac- torers and owners.
 The following facts prove that America is awake to the necessity ot bettering her highways and byways The rifle and hand grenade has been set aside for the pick and shovel.
 The state of Alabama feels that there is no better way to serve the country the returning soldiers and her own best interests, than the earliest poss . ble inauguration of road building on as extensive a scale as county, state and federal resources permit. Prio tC the placing of the embargo on road building under wars emergency sev- eral hundred miles of new roads were projected in Alabama. Now the war is over, they want to continue this good roads program, because there is nc greater necessity than good roads Their building will provide employ ment for thousands of their returning soldiers.
 Conditions in Alabama are similar tC those in other states that have not put on a wide good reads campaign. It i. understood that in one county alone poor roads cost auto owners about $3. 100000 q year, and of the s75,O00 pait annually in auto licenses, only 10 pel cent was allowed this county for road. building purposes. With 1900 miles O

road in this particular county, 300 of which are macadamized, 26O of this latter number take care of 80 per cent of the traffic.
 The state of Idaho has started its road building program. On Novem- Der 21. the Idaho State Highway com mission let contracts for the building of the biggest and what is to be the most important construction work in northern Idaho. aggregating d cost of $240,000; brick and culvert work aggregating s19,000 Announcement is made that additional federal aid money had been secured and that work will proceed without interruption through the winter months.
 The state of Louisiana has started road building of a. total of S25 miles. The money is already in sight-s1,0 ,000,- 900 from state, S500,000 from federal government and $3,750,000 from county bond issue. Since the cancellation of war time priority orders, active work has been resumed in most every coun- ty. Not only are practical roads being built, but in addition, the Louisiana federation of women's clubs has un- dertaken to plant palms and other IOllhEC dlODH lilC Hi iilNlPehi iAt6 nv " .'.
 That the state of Missouri realizes the importance of more good roads is shown by the fact that they have started more road projects for con- struction than the appropriations and apportionments will pay for. With a balance of s1,S39,3S in the good roads fund, the projects accrued call for an expenditure of $1,SS9,643 The highway fIa Iav.ar r.4v 1aNyt o onyYnX+nh projects. covering a total of 1,593 miles. The report shows that a total of 11,S75 miles of inter county state highways have been laid out by the department.
 The highway enthusiasts who hold the interests of the state of Missouri to heart. claim that the one purpose of the state highway department should be to build roads. That could not be done in war times, but the bar on highway construction has been lift ed. and taxpayers of Missouri arc l demanding the state road building l campaign begin without delay.

Wary Little God of Love Chuckles
AS Whispers Another Engagement
THE wary little god of love is

THE wary little god of love is
l. chuckling to himself these days,
for his prophecies are coming true,
now that peace is turning the trend
of our lives into the old, accustomed
grooves. With Uncle Sam present
ing his faithful warriors with slips
of paper which read honorable dis
charge our prominent young folk
are beginning to plan for the future.
We have watched these romances
with keen interest, and although
our pretty girls forfeited frills for
uniforms and plunged desperately
into war work, we felt sure that far
back i'll a remote corner of these
feminine heads under the severe
hats there lurked wedding plans and
thoughts of lacy, delicate trousseauy
things.
We are privileged today to give a
very interesting bit of rews, for Mr..
and Mrs. c. w. Morton announce
the engagement of their daughter,
Dorothy, to Mr.. H. Robert Jobst,
son OF Mr.. and Mrs. B. J. Jobst. The
early summer has been selected for
the wedding, probably June, the
month of brides and roses.
Miss Morton, who is one of the
most attractive girls of the younger
set, is a very accomplished pianist.
She attended the Central High
school, but wishing to devote all her
time to her art instead of academic
studies, spent three years in Boston
and New York studying under ia
nous teachers. She has appeared
in concert at various times and has
given of her services unstintingly
for the cause of charity and for war
enterprises.
Mr. Jobst is also we'll known in
the younger set, as he is a graduate
of the Central High school, later at
tending the University of Nebraska
and the University Of Illinois. He
is member of the Delta Tau Delta
fraternity. Mr.. Jobst was stationed
at Fort Omaha, where he was a fly
ing cadet, and has but recently re-
ceived his discharge.
