KING ALBERT'S EARLY
SAILING DELAYS PARLEY
Prevents Delegates to international
|, Conference From Coming on
George Washington.

NEW YORK, September 24.-When
King Albert of Belgium announced
he was ready to sail for the United
States without delay he knocked the
international trade conference, sched-
uled to open in Atlantic City on Sep
tember 80, into the latter part of
next month. OF course, he did not
know it, but results followed.
A. c. A. Bedford, chairman of the
executive committee of the conference,
has announced that the sessions will
be postponed until October 90, and
explained that allied commercial mis-
sions from Great Britain. France.
Italy and Belgium were booked to
sail for New York on the steamer
George Washington, according to an
offer made by the War Department
and accepted by the United States
Chamber of Commerce.
When King Albert decided to sail
for this country at once the War
Department withdrew the George
Washington offer and turned the
steamship over to the king, leaving
the allied commercial mission strand
ed on the other side of the Atlantic.
Notification Of the postponement is
being sent out today to all members of
the United States Chamber of Com
merce. Assurance is given that there
will be no change in the program al
ready prepared, except that of dates. 1t
is predicted also that the delay will per-
NIT more thorough preparation of GER

that in the long run the cnference will
be a more complete success because of

Others Express Views.

The discussion that followed show
ed that several members of the COM
mission favored having the dedica-
ton take place next spring, when
weather conditions would be more
suitable than in November Com
mander Beall of the Confederate Vet
erans' Association. who is a member
of the commission, opposed giving any
single organization entire charge OF
the dedication and made motion that
the entire matter be referred back to
Congress. Being reminded that Con-
gress already had made appropria-
tion for the expenses of the dedica-
tion. he withdrew his motion. After
further general discussion it was de-
cided to postpone final action in the
matter to another meeting, when Sec
retary Baker and all the other men,
bers are expected to be present.

The man who never gets out Of
sight of the tall buildings, as well as
the man who has yet to see a city sky
scraper, should be booster for better
roads. Highways are used in trans
porting practically every article Of
food at some stage in it's journey to
the consumers table. Bad roads add
to the cost of transportation, but good
roads cut marketing cost.
From the time when farm products
were first hauled in wagons to markets
there has been an interest in better
roads as a means of reducing the cost
Of transportation, but improved high
ways mean more now because of the
extensive use of motortrucks in haul
Ing products from the farm to the
railroad station or direct to the city
markets. Trucks are not only replac-
ing horse transportation but in many
cases they are supplementing and even
doing the work of railroads. In fact,
motor trucks offer a solution Of mod
ern transportation problems, but roads
built only for horse.drawn vehicles or
light automobiles will break down I'M
der heavy motor traffic.
Of roads so that the enormous govern
ment and commercial truck traffic of
the past two years could move has
taxed the abilities and called forth
every energy and plan on the part Of
highway officials. In many states Off
Gals found themselves without suffi-
Gent funds to handle properly the re-
pair and rebuilding work necessary.
Nearly all of them had to struggle I'M
der the handicap Of an insufficient la
Dor supply, and all had to meet the
Increased cost OF labor and material.
War Lessons Aid in Peace.
Only few states were unaffected
BY the restrictions on the supply and
transportation of materials which had
to be brought from a distance. None
escaped the difficulties which followed
The great and rapid increase in traffic
at this country's entrance into the
var. From New England to the Pa I
,ific coast new demands were made
1pon the highways, and unusual con-
iltions developed everywhere in main
:enance and construction. In several
states high type roads, which had orig
nally been constructed without suffi-
:ient foundation to meet the new de-
hands, had to be rebuilt, and part Of
his construction work was carried on

ly keeps his business alive because Of
inferior delivery methods.
The farmer, too, has learned that
the quick handling Of his product Is
vital consideration. For instance.
take the case of the dairy farmer who
now makes two deliveries day with
his motor truck liz less time than he
used to be able to make three deliv.
cries week. His milk is sweeter, the
price is higher. And SO it goes all
along the line, the motor truck has
proved not only its speed, but its econ
Omy.
Increased Use Of Trucks.
There can be no doubt in the mind
Of anyone who makes a serious study
of transportation conditions as they ex-
list the country over, but that the next
few years will see an amazing increase
in the use of trucks. Because speed.
economy and adaptability to varied
work will be vital considerations 1t
seems certain that the greatest de-
mand will be for moderately light-duty
vehicles.
St. Tammany farmer. [volume] (Covington, La.) 1874-current, 1919-08-09

When the necessity for moving war
essentials simply overwhelmed the
railroads and paralyzed shipping con-
ditions, the world was brought to a
realization of what motor trucks could
accomplish in emergencies. Thousands
of business men learned the answers
to their individual transportation prob
lens and will permanently profit by
them. 1t is apparent, on the other
hand, that many others have even yet
failed to come to a complete realiza-
ton of all that the motor truck means
to present and future transportation.
No industry, no business house re-
quiring either pickup or delivery can
obtain full success today without the
use of one or more trucks. The pub
lie demands quick service-motor
truck delivery is the solution.
Daily Object Lessons.
Every day the object lesson is driv-
en- home. One merchant Increases his
business because ofsthe dependabiiity
of his deliveries. His competitor. with
otherwise equally good facilities, bare

Of 9 combination of woven canvas fab

past five years there has come onto

known as the cord" tire, which Is
rapidly gaining favor with motorists,
as they claim 1t is longer lived than

new tire, instead of using a woven
canvas fabric as a foundation, there
IS used a series of strong cotton cords
or string. The claim IS that these
cords will not break us readily under
the varying strains of country road
usage as will the woven fabric. II

REiL ROADS RIGHT NOW.
(From Motor Age.)

Out of nearly 1000 slogans sub
mitted in a prize contest conducted
by the Oklahoma Good Roads Asso-
citation this spring the one that read
Build Real Roads Right Now" was
selected as the best. Which it no
doubt vas. There certainly couldn' t
have been one that expressed the
present need more aptly. What we
need is not only real roads in the
future but real roads right now.
This is a time when men and women
want convenience in living. The
working man is looking for better
things We are all looking for bet
ter things AS will witness the re-
turned soldier or sailor who feels a
discomfort with the old job which re-
quired little or no skill and effort.
It's q cropping for progress. just as
in the Did days the building of rail-
roads opened up new worlds to con-
quer good roads-good the year
around-will open up new vistas.
Look back a short period. 1t was
the building of 1000 miles of track
just after the Civil War that opened
the western states and gave room
for the expansion, or progress,
whichever you will call it, that fol-
lowed. But modern times have
found that something more is need
ed. There must be continuous trans
portation between cities, between
farm and city, short hauls as we'll
as long. The car and the truck are
the urge of the time. And then
there must be good roads.
With the interlinked blessings Of
car, truck and good road progress
takes place. With permanent high
ways and motor transportation the
conveniences and comforts of life be-
come more available. That old
proble;n of keeping the young folks
on the farm loses most of its mean
ing when good roads in communi-
ty make it possible for the farmer
to have city conveniences at home
with ready access to the city itself.
Likewise increased production seems
impossible, except in the case of alb
normal prices, without good roads,
for good roads mean the cost can be
lowered without lesseaing the pro-
ducer's profit. Wherever the good

OIL AND TIRES

time, just stretch that rubber

same effect.
Great care should be exer-
cised in the use of oil around a
garage. OIL or gasoline should
not be allowed on the floors.
Spare tires should always be
protected by cover.

| ing.
The extensive use Of motortrucks
for transportation during war time has
emphasized the possibilities of well
built roads as means Of marketing
farm and other products. Solving road
problems when there was constant
procession Of heavily loaded trucks
travelling over them has been a great
lesson to road officials, which will be
put to good use in peace times.
The federal aid road-building pro-
gram for this year is the most stu
pendous in the history of the world.
The expenditures for road construction
for the year are likely to reach $780,
100000. Plans have been made for the
construction of continuous highway
systems, the states through which the
highways are to pass cooperating with
each other as never before. Improved
roads will not terminate at state lines,
but will run from one large marketing
center to another
Free Trucks, Added Appropriations.
More than $45,00O,0o0 worth Of mo-
tortrucks, to be used in road construc-
ton work, will be distributed by the
secretary Of agriculture through the
bureau Of public roads to the state
highway departments. These trucks,
about 10000 In number, have been de-
clared surplus by the war department,
and all that the states must do to &C
quire them Is to pay the loading and
freight charges. The trucks range in
capacity from two to five tons, II 900
Of them are new, and all are declared
to be in serviceable condition. They
with be apportioned to the states only
upon request of the state highway de-
partments on the basis Of request re-
ceived from the respective states with
the apportionment provided in the fed
eral aid law approved In 1915. The
requirements Of the law are such that
none Of the trucks will be distributed
to counties or individuals.
Further interest In the nationwide
need for good roads Is shown by the
fact that shortly before the last ses-
sion Of congress adjourned that body
made an extra appropriation Of $780,
100000 in the post office appropriation
bill to meet the federal part Of the
road-building program. This Is the
largest appropriation ever made by any
government for similar purpose, say
road officials Of the department Of ag-
riculture.

NEW AUTO TIRE FINDS FAVOR

Manufacturers Of automobile tires
are keeping right to the front In the
motor car industry. Buying new tires
to replace the old wornout and dam
aged ones is one of the chiefest
sources of expense in the ownership
and operation of an automobile. Even
with the lighter weight cars the tire
cost PEI, mile Of travel is equal to, II
not greater, than the cost of fuel and
oil; with the heavy weight, high
priced cars using the larger sizes Of

The emergency axle is bent or

TO ORGANIZE LEAGUE
Preparation for First Meeting to Be
Held in Washington.

Washington, Sept. 19.-Prepara-
tons for the organization of the
League of Nations are being made in
London by Sir Eric Drummond, secre-
tary-general, and Raymond B. Fos-
dick, an American under-secretary,
so that the league will be in readi-
ness to function at its first meeting
to be called in Washington The
dte Of this meeting is undecided.
Colonel E. M. House and Lord Rob
ert Cecil and other members of the
organization committee of the league
have been taking part in the prelimi-
nary organization work.
The Organization committee al
ready has adopted a resolution con-
tempating that member states may
assign some of their own officials for
service under the League and has
recommended that the governments
of states members of the League shall
take into consideration the services
of their officials in the International
Secretariat."
In preparatory work for the foun-
dation for the international court OF
justice, the committee is understood
to have arrived at the opinion that it
would be desirable to invite a num-
Der of eminent international jurists
to give their opinions on he consti-
ton of such a court, and has voted to
take up the question in detail at some
subsequent meetings. The action of
the committed is said to indicate
that the work of organizing sucn a
court will be carried forward from
the point where it was started by the
United States at The Hague twelve
years ago, when Elihu Root, then sec
rotary of state, in his instructions to
| the American delegates charged them
to work for the creation of an interna-
