RECONSTRUCTION IS
OF BIG IMPORTANCE
Time to Spruce Up Car Neglected
During Great War.
Col. Arthur Woods, Assistant to Sec
rotary Of War, Recommends En-.
ployment Of Returning SOL

How about your motor car? or
course, you let her lose class s0me-
what during the war. 1t was unpa-
triOtic to use labor or paint on your
car at a time when American indus
try was working at top speed to pro-
duce the material necessary for the
winning Ct the war.
But tie war is over Labor is NO
longer scarce. In fact, there are TO-
900 soldiers being dismissed every day
from the service, and these men will
have rather difficult time Of 1t until

on and to overhaul it generally. You
will be doing a patriotic service to the
country III getting soldier or two to
do this work for you. Col. Arthur
Woods, assistant to the secretary Of
war, recommends the employment Of
ex-service men for such reconstruction
work.
There is no more need for emergency
economy. Minor repairs add to the
life OF things. Paint adds life to the
body of the car. Spruce up your en-
CINE. Renew those worn parts. Your

Don't wait for materials to come
down. They won't. Rather is the
contrary to be expected. And If you
wait little too long, you will have to
put on an extra coat Of paint, and
more parts will wear out. "Spruce

HELPS PAY FOR GOOD ROADS
In 1918 Nearly 81 Per Cent Of Motor
Vehicle Tax Was Applied to
Highway improvement.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
The increase in mOtorcar registra-
tons and revenues in the United
States during the past dozen years
represents some interesting compare
sons. This is especially true in re-
spect to the use made of the revenues.
In 1906 the total registrations We're ap-
proximately $4,000 cars. paying gross
revenue Of about $4,000 or roughly
the same rs the returns from the Dis
trict of Columbia for the year 1918.
Furthermore in 1906 the gross regis
tratiOn revenues represented less than
three-tenths of per cent of the total
rural road and bridge expenditures for
that year. In 1918 the motor-vehicle
revenues represented approximately
81 per cent of the total road and
bridge expenditures for that year. Fur
thermore, while in 1906 practically
none Of the motor-vehicle revenues
were applied to road construction or
maintenance, in 1918 nearly 81 per
cent Of the gross returns, or $685.
691, were devoted to this purpose in
46 states. and of the total amount ap-
piled to road work II per cent, or
e36, 161 ,473, was expended more or less
directly under the control or super
vision Of the state highway depart
nents.

Trucks are usually equipped with
motors having considerable reserve
power, which is provided for pulling
heavy loads up grades or over bad
roads. II hauling to and from the farm
is over fairly level, improved roads, as
is the case in a great many instances,
the motor truck even when loaded to
capacity is capable Of hauling trailer,
thus being able to handle nearly twice
the normal rated capacity of the truck
without overlooking it.
Danger In Practice.
Their is danger, however, in this
practice Of bauling trailers behind
trucks because some owners are sure
to uss them when highway and other
conditions are not favorable. The
harm in doing this comes in overload
ing the truck motor beyond the ca.
pacity at which 1t will work econom
ically and efficiently, which is prob
ably the worst punishment that ca,
ha given trnck.-Pnwar Farming.
Yerington times. [volume] (Yerington, Nev.) 1907-1932, 1919-09-27

Now that farmers are buying motor
trucks in large numbers, it is desirable
that these trucks show not only an
economical performance but also that
they pay as big returns on the invest
ment as is possible to make them. AS
one power farmer expressed 1t not
long ago, the motor truck takes the
last drudgery out Of farming. This is
q whole lot to say, but many owners
are finding it true. Not only that
they are also finding that the truck
makes money by saving money in re-
ducing production and marketing costs.
Advantages Of Truck.
One Of the big advantages Of the
truck is tlye+ 1t brings the market
many hours. and even days, nearer the
farm; and another factor in this con-
nection which operates to bring farm
and market still closer is the trailer
behind the truck. Where conditions
are favorable to its use, the trailer
should be considered an essential part

MAMMOTH CAVE LONG FAMOUS
Wsrld's Wonders, Practically
Since the Year 1909.

The most famous cavern In America
h Mammoth cave, in Kentucky, writes
"Niksah" In the Chicago Daily News.
Mammoth cave was an old Indian ref
uge, and the story Of redskin adven-
lures is written plain In the skeletons,
tomahawks and reed torches that have
been found in the cavern depths.
Then, in 1909, q white man, pioneer
hunter, followed a wounded bear into
the mouth of the great cave, and from
that time on Mammoth cave became
In American estimation the eighth
wonder of the world.
Almost as soon as the white man
discovered the cavern he began to
make practical use Of It. Long before
the era of Indian possession bats had
inhabited the cavern halls and in the
course of time their skeletons had &C
cumulated on the floor, especially
near the entrance. These skeletons,
containing nitrate, played an impor-
tant part in the war of 1912. for
sives. was scarce in the colonies and
the Mammoth cave became the main
source Of supply.
When the country settled down to
a period of comfortable prosperity,
Mammoth cave became, even more
than 1t Is today. great show place
of America. The caves history is told
in the names Of the various rooms and
galleries. Jenny Lind and other artists
visited the cave and sang or played
the airs that had made them famous
in "Ole Bulls Concert Hall" or other
cavern corridors. In a room since
named Booths Amphitheater," Edwin
Booth was inspired to declaim some
of the lines Of Hamlet before q small
and select audience.
