supply Of gasoline, sixty gallons in all,
owing to the scarcity Of French gas,
five gallons OF oil and four heavy tires.
THE run to Paris, 1856 miles, was
made without the slightest difficulty.

covering a total OF more than LOO
miles, Our only difficulty on the trip,
despite the fact that the roads through
Flanders and Northern France have not
been repaired yet, and numerous shell
holes make II hard going for a car,
was due to water in the gasoline, q
common trouble over here, and an un-
usual number OF p%unctures due to
shrapnel splinters.
when the age Of the car and the ex-

knew 1t before the manager Of the place
In which she labored spoke to her upon

could buy some things on Tina and pay
for them out of her earnings. Did she
dare-no, thinking 1t over she didn't.
There was her father to face-the

IN animal industry and dairylng hus-
9sndry, dealing with the production Of
oalIy products, filling Of the soil and the

And 1t was these men who were con-
tlnually crowded around the different
motor truck exhibits, comparing notes
WIN each other, commenting on new
features, telling experiences each had

hnaue up the labor shortage by saving

one OF the leading dairymen in dis

ilclal OF the Kissel Motor Car Co, said:

Governor Louden very aptly stated
when he opened the National Dairy
show last week that the dairy Industry
Is more intimately related to the hfe

otner, and anything, therefore, which
encourages the expansion Of the dairy
lndustr Is profitable to humanity" In
this connection the motor truck de-
serves credit for enabling dairymen and
FARMERS TO economically transport their
product, thus helping keep the cost Of
milk and dairy supplies within the
reach OF the masses. In fact, there is
no other commodity that deserves the
benefit and advantages Of motor truck
transportation more than milk and its
py .products. Whatever happens, the
nation must not be cut OF from its
milk supply, and, again, milk must not
reach q price that Is beyond the masses,

as to the delivery of milk being GER
