TRUCKS SHINED Up
FOR MOTOR PARADE

Is your truck shined up for the pa
rade tomorrow. Truck dealers as
well as private owners are getting all
set for the contest.
1t has been reported that one deal
er. hot after the prize for having the
largest number OF his trucks in
the procession, has had more than
fifty OF his owners agree to tako
part.
The contest is due greatly to the
eagerness to have a good showing
than to grab the prizes, but more
than $500 will be given out as
awards in the different classes.
In order to preserve the line, il has
been announced that the awards will
be withheld until the parade reaches
the end OF the route. The judges
will make their decisions at the re-
viewing stand shortly after the line
gets started. will then move up to
Fifth and + streets. and will there
hand the prize envelopes TO the win
ners.
Some Of the entrants have devised
a unique scheme to connect business
with the parade. They will make
their deliveries in the morning early.
and where there are deliveries for
the afternoon, they will parade the
trucks loaded, and then make their
trips. This will also show the utility
Of the trucks. and will be convenient
for owners without mountaineering
the customers by making them wait
'or goods.

no reason why the aeroplane cannot

Yes. and I objected at first to go

But I finally went with Brown and
the two women, because Thurman
was expected to arrive at Mineral

companion came, Brown, Bay and the

defendant admitted, stayed at a hotel

Bay asserted that he had not been

that the reason he remained over
