The European system, experts de-

To Liberty Bonds and War Savings
Stamps America owes the establishing
of the general system of motor trans
port, for it was from the proceeds OF
bonds and stamps that the trucks used
here and abroad were purchased. II
Was from the proceeds of bonds and
stamps, lent to the Allied nations, that
those Allies purchased not only large
parts of their equipment of motor
transport, but also the materials with
which to load them. The Victory Lib

Savings Stamps are extending the gen
eral motor transport industry so that
ultimately the entire short haul traffic
of the world will be carried by Ameri-
can motor trucks. a not inconsiderabl lie

Saving Time
For the Farmers

The presence Of the many motor
truck lines and routes in the country,
which sprang up from war necessity,
soon meant that the actual productive
ness Of farms and industrial plants
was greatly increased. Motor truck
deliveries from the doors of plants
meant that practically the railroads
had been extended to the plants them
selves. AS the product was being
taken away far more rapidly than ever
before it was out Of the way and pro
duction in the plant itself was speeded
up automatically and consciously too.
The farms were not obliged to lose
time doing their own transportation
and the increased hours spent by their
masters upon their acres made itself
manifest in a larger food production,
Prior to the general introduction Of
the motor truck as a factor in the col
lection of food and farm products.
Food Administrator Hoover stated that
at least SO per cent of such foodstuFs
we're lost because Of inability to get
them to market.
The food reservoirs--the food pro-
ducing areas-about any given city
were much enlarged with the entrance
of the motor truck. Prior to its gen
eral use it was customary to consider
the food producing area as only about
fifteen miles distant from the city at
its farthest point. The coming Of the
motor truck extended this distance to
point more than fifty miles beyond
the city limits. This meant not only
an increased food supply for the city,
but also the production of a far
greater quantity for the country gen
orally and for the fighters abroad. So
the motor truck, by rendering it pos
sibe to market distant products easily,
became in itself factor in the in
crease of production.
So the close Of the war found the
United States covered with a network
of lines of motor transport which car
ried the short haul traffic of the nation
to its appointed place, with the great
prepondcrance directed toward the
builders Of international democracy in
Europe.

Division Of Functions
In Transportation

Although the motor transport bust
ness on the scale which it assumed was
new business it was speedily organ
lied in accordance with the we'll known
American business principle Of divi-
sion and subdivision of function. Soon
the operations Of the larger companies
were stabilized and standardized under
four departments: operation, receiving
and distributing, auditing and execu-
tive.
The department of operation was
made responsible for the regular per
Torrance of the fleet on schedule and
for the condition Of the cars. The
larger companies had their own gar
ages and repair shops in which the
cars were regularly inspected after
each run. Regular bills of lading and
the usual freight forms were used.
The government taking an active in
terest in the development Of the new
class Of national transportation, the
Postal Department in the parcels post
service began the use of motor trucks.
In March, 1918, parcels post truck
established a route from Lancaster,
Penn, to New York for the carriage
of eggs, honey and poultry. On the
initial trip the III miles were COW
cred in thirteen hours. Other parcels
post routes were established In vary
ing parts of the country.

Imports Increasing

The value of imports in January was
S213 ,00O, 600, as compared with SILL
100000 in December and S234,OOO, 900
in January, 1918. For the seven months
ended with January imports totalled
Sl,G98 100000 which is a slight gain
over the 1884 100000 for the similar
period Of the previous Year.
The~eXcess Of exports over imports
in January was $4,000, 900, an i'm
pressive total when it is remem bered
that the excess Of exports for the en-
tire fiscal year 1914, the last norm al
year, was only s470,OCo o0o.
These record breaking accomplish
ncnts havc been duo 10 .hc energies of
American shipbuilders, who in little
more than year and 4 half built more
than double the number Of launching
ways row owned By all other nations
combined, and are building more ship
ping than is being constructed by all
the rest Of the world put together.
More Ships Needed
Do not imagine that we are building
too many Of these ships. The need for
ships was never so great as it is at
present and this demand will continue
for many years will last until the
world catches up with the tonnage it
requires for transaction of its normal
fore ign trade.
Our merchant marine was never so
large as it is to-day 1t is growing
faster than it ever grew before. And
the faster we build the ships the
greater will be our commercial indie
pendence. America leads all other ma
tons IN agriculture. 1t is great

wealth OF raw material. It is the

Baltimore. Md, Sept %, 1919
The State Convention has met,
adopted the platform of principles
on which candidates will ask for
the votes of the people, has ratified
the nominations already made by
the Democratic voters, and the cam
paign has now been formally open
ed, although Mr.. Richie has been
making d strenuous personal cam
paign for several weeks.
And it is the opinion of all those
whose knowledge and experience ii
such matters are of value, that the
outlook for decided victory for
the whole democratic ticket is ex-
tremely bright. For the first time
in long period of years there are
no so-called Independent Democrats
who are fighting their party nomi-
nees-the Independents are all in
line and are among the most en-
thusiastic supporters of the ticket.
In every campaign beginning with
that of 1875, the brains, and often
the funds, which gave strength and
vigor to the opposition to all Demo-
cratic tickets were furnished by a
large number of influential Demo-
Gratis, who were dissatisfied with. the
party leaders, the party MANAGE
ment, and the party nominees
This year all that sort of encoura ge-
ment to the Republicans is lacking,
and they are compelled to- go it
alone. If their candidates secur e
any Democratic votes, they will lie
few and far between, and there will
be no organized support for Mr.. Nice
ana his colleagues outside of the
usual Republican machine support,
and the local machine of the old
radical Republican party of Mary
land has been in a rather rickety
condition ever since the death of
the late William F. Stone who was
the ablest leader that party has had

the administration of our County

to the best returns for the money
