FIRST TO ESTABLISH
SH|P.DY.TRUCK WAY
GOODYEAR PIONEER IN MOTOR.
1ZlNG long DISTANCE
TRANSPORTATION.

The motorizing of transportation
has come to play such an important
part in the daily affairs of the world
that many of the important details
which at the time Of happening ,e-
ceived hardly more than passing at
tention, are now of prime interest.
Things have happened so quickly
that they have been taken as a mat
ter Of course.
1t was two years ago that the
Goodyear Tire 4 Rubber company
announced the Inauguration of a
motor truck service between the fac
tory at Akron, Ohio, and Boston.
Mass, for transporting rubber prod
ucts to the Boston territory and
hauling cotton fabric from the mill
at Goodyear, Conn.,. back to Akron.
a round trip OF 1900 miles.
1t was the first long-distance haul
ing service put into operation in this
country and has been successful from
the very start. The use of pneumatic
tire equipment on these trucks en-
abled them to operate the entire
year regardless of weather condi.

tionS. and AT no time since the inau.
GIra'lon Of the line has the Service
been interrupted. not even during
the unprecedented SHOWS of 1913 in
the AlleehcNies. Following the
Goodyear example siimlar lines have
been established in man! sections. 50
that inter.cit' hauling nov is an &C.
Ccpted fact.
When our country entered the war
this line vas used to transport war
material from ;he central west to
the eastern seaboard and many times
important shipments were rushed 10
the east by Goodyear express in
preference 10 the regular transporta-
tion channels. And when the first
train of the vast number of motor
trucks for our forces in France was
transported overland under their
own power. from Detroit to Balti-
more. it was one of the Goodyear
trucks that served as a pilot for this
train.
The great freight congestion of
the first winter of the war caused the
government to urge the ship by
truck" movement throughout the en-
tire nation. pointing to the Goodyear
accomplishment as an example to be
followed. This company was ship
ping by truck and doing it under
the most trying conditions. Now the
movement is national and the motor
truck has become one of the most
important units in our whole system
of transportation.
Along with this wonderful expan-
sion of the motor truck into broader
fields of usefulness there has been a
great development Of tires. There
are separate fields for all kinds Of
tires. Some uses demand a pneu-
matte tire. others require solid tire.
The type of tire used depends alto
gether on the service expected of the
truck. AS between penumatics and
solids, each type affords we'll defined
advantages. For short hauls. through
congested traffic. where slow speeds
are obligatory and pavements reason
ably good. solid tires serve econom-
ically and we'll But in long distance
transport, interurban freighting and
general trucking. pneumatic tires
are far more efficient and saving.
1t is fortunate that just at the time
that traffic conditions became acute.

WAR SAVINGS STAMPS
MAY Be CONVERTED
GOV ERNN ENT AUTHORIZES MORE
ATTRACTIVE PLAN TO
INVESTORS.

SAN FRANCISCO-The war loan
Reserve district has Just been ad-
yised that hereafter war savings
stamps may be converted into savings
certificates of 800 and $1,000 de-
nominations according to a new plan
of the savings division of the U. S.
treasury department to afford greater
convenience in handling war savings
securities.
This development of the war saw
ings idea is one that has been urged
for some time in order to attract
larger investments. The holder of a
sufficient number of thrift stamps
may now exchange them for IS
war savings stamp and in turn the
holder of 20 of the s. war savings
stamps may convert them into a 800
savings certificate or the holder of
200 of the IS stamps may turn them
in for a $1,000 savings certificate.
Conversion may be made at all
first and second class postoffices and
at all banks and trust companies that
have qualified as agents of the second
class. The treasury savings certifi-
Gates are to be issued in registered
form and will bear the names of the
owners. They will yield 4 per cent
compounded quarterly as do the war
savings stamps. The limit of the in
dividual Investment still remains at
$1,000.
The new treasury certificates
should prove particularly attractive
for the investment of the funds of
fraternal societies. labor unions and
other civic, social and religious or
CARNATIONS because the interest is
added to the principal automatically
each quarter. the entire amount being
payable at maturity

Concerning Feed Prices
Nothing Mysterious about 1t

Not long ago of our customers said
he could not understand how we are able
to sell hay, grain and feed at such low
prices.
The explanation is not a secret. The three
principal factors entering into the determination
OF selling price are: l. Buying
z Overhead expense. B. A Fair Profit.
This company maintains an exclusive buying
office III one of the great producing
sections OF this state, and deals direct
with the grower. Other products that we must
buy from the mills are purchased in car load
lots at quantity prices Upon arrival in
Olympia, car consigned to us, is not spotted
5 on team track. blocks from our place of
business. On the contrary unload direct
from the car into our warehouse at a cost of
about fifteen cents per ton
To this minimum cost of material in our warehouse
must now be added charge for overhead
expense. We have very low rent;
no expensive clerk hire, and little depreciation
By selling for cash t. o. b. the warehouse
we eliminate bOOkkeepers and delivery systems
It don't seem fair that the farmer who hauls
his own supplies should help pay for delivery
to people in town.
Then comes fair profit. We believe every
merchant is entitled to fair interest on his
investment. Our invested capital is only such
amount as is absolutely necessary for the
conduct of the business; and in comparison with
other concerns doing equal volume, it is
very low
Combined with reasonable prices is an
absolute guarantee on everything we sell. We
will never stock inferior products.
Our cards are the table. If you believe
in policy, give us your business.

CHAPTER XVI.
Captured by the Moewe.

When the tugs had cast off and after
q while we had dropped our pilot, l
said to myself: "Now we are of, and
it's the States for me-end of the
line-far as we go-IF-" But the
"if" did not look very big to me,
though I could see it with the naked
eye all right. ts
I got up about four O'clock the next
morning, which was Sunday, Decem-
ber 10, 1916-a date I do not think I
will ever forget.
AS soon as I was dressed I went
down to the forecastle peak and from
there into the paint locker, where I
found some rope. Then back again on
deck, and made myself a hammock,
which I rigged up on the boat deck,
figuring that would have nice sun
bath, as the weather had at last
turned clear.
AS soon as I had the hammock
strung / went down to the baker and
had nice chat with him-and stole a
few hot buns, which was what I was
really after-and away to the galley
for breakfast. l was almost exactly

box. / had not. been there long when

"Ship on the starboard bow" did
not pay any attention to him, because
ships on the starboard bow were
no novelty to me, or on the port

looking at her, either, for he came in
and sat on another box and began
scoffing. He said he thought she was.

out on deck. I stepped out of the gal.

ship was just opposite us when away

clothing, but instead of shoes was
wearing a pair of wooden clogs. The
men and boys were crazy-rushing
around the deck and knocking each
other down, and everybody getting u
everybody else's way. We lowered our
Jacobs ladders, but some of the men
and boys were already in the water.
Why they jumped I do not know.
Then the German raider MOewe
headed right in toward us and I
thought she was going to ram US, but
she backed water about thirty yards
away. She lowered lifeb0at and 1t

and laid the wires on the other ware
house and let her 60. But she was too
high and l made clean miss. Then
was mad because had sent that
one over for myself. So got the cross
wires on the warehouse again and,
said to myself, '"This is not for any
body, Just for luck, because I sure
have had plenty of it today"
Then the juice came through the
wires and into the charge, and away
she went, and up went the second
warehouse. That made two directs out
of three, and guess it hurt the Turks
some to lose all their ammunition.
The officer kissed me before I could
duck and slapped me on the back and

They brought me to with rum, and
they said I was singing when came

me what song it was, figured it was

do not believe I came to, singing, be-
/ cause I never sang "Sweet Adeline''
before, that I know of, or any other
song when anybody was In range. But
l heard it lots of times so maybe
did sing it at that.
Then I went to sleep feeling 1ne

I noticed that there were red kegs In
the German boat.
When the lifeboat reached the Ja-
cob's ladders I went over to the port
side of the George and then the Ger
mans came over the side and hoisted
up the kegs. The Germans were
armed with bayonets and revolvers.
Some of them went down into the en-
gine room and opened the sea cocks.
About this time some of the Limeys
came up from the poop deck and I
told them to stay where I was and
that the Germans would take US over
in lifeboats. Another squad Of Ger.
mans hoisted eight of the dynamite
kegs on their shoulders and down into

Mean time the Germans saw US ur
on the boat deck and came up after
US. Ard over went the Limeys. But
I waited and one or two more waited
with me. When the Germans came up
to us they had their revolvers out
and were waving them around and
yelling, Scott strafe England!" and
talking about "schweinhunde." Then,
the first thing knew, I was kicked of
into the sea. slipped off my trousers
and coat and clogs, and, believe me, 1t

was not one chance in a hundred that
any of us would make 1t. Because
when I got through it was really just
a miracle and nobody would have
thought it could happen.
Then the officer told me to 60 back
to the beach, where our naval guns
! were, and that was detailed to them.
Maybe you do not think I was glad7
But there was rough work still ahead
of me, because when got behind the
third line saw a wide open field that
was light gray from the shell smoke
hanging over it, and I could see the
flashes where the big ones were doing
their work, and had to 60 through
that field. ..,..

nap then, but the officer in command
would not let me. He said they were
short of gunners-the terrific shelling
had killed off dozens of them-and as
he knew I could point gun he had
ordered them over the telephone to
get me to the beach as fast as possi-

you, Murray, old boy. Let's 60 from
here"

landed direct and the warehouse went
