Motor trucks are being used more

February, just past, the proportion Of
wagon and truck hogs in the total re-

crease, the representatives say, but
there is a growing tendency to send
hogs to market in motor trucks in
stead of by rail where the distances
are not great. This tendency is also
shown at other markets. At the Gin

hogs were brought in by truck and

his destination.
Does the automobile save life? 1t
does. The use of motorcars by nearly
100 per cent of the physicians In this
country is ample proof of the esteem
In which it is held by this profession.
In every walk Of life. in every en-
deavor, in every instance where time
is consideration, where energy is
desired, the automobile looms large
as the vehicle to be used. Ask the
automobile owner and see what he
says. Stop the next one you meet and
put the question to him.
We are living in remarkable age.
In an age when SO much is taken for
granted. The marvellous seems to be
commonplace for us in the midst Of
marvels. The automobile was intro
duceG in such a period.
1t may be that we are too close to
its newness to appreciate it's wonder.
For 1t is a wonder. A truly great one.
But, like many other things given to
us in the last 25 years, we have ac-
cepted 1t without giving the necessary
credit to its wonderful capabilities.
But 1t is a certainty that future history
will give to the automobile its proper
place.
Automobile Is Safe.
We need not worry. The automobile
is safe. The automobile industry is
secure. The automobile serves the
people and as long as 1t does this eff
ficiently, and there is reason to be-
lieve that this efficiency, If anything,
is going to increase, it is safe to say
that there will be need for motorcars,
and that the law Of supply and demand
will govern their manufacture and
distribution.
But let us not forget this:
That the development of the auto,

Indispensable to Industrial progress
and national prosperity.

him in his bed he fell asleep at once.
He was awakened by Pan barking

He dressed hastily and ran down to
rescue the calf But when he got to
the barn yard Pan and the calf were
drinking milk out of the same trough.
This is Lady Gwendolyn, our fine
Jersey calf" explained Mr.. Martin.
"She seems to have taken quite a
fancy to your dog
After the pair had licked up the last
drop in the trough they lay down in
the sunshine and took long nap, Pan
curling up between the calf's legs.

Nowadays reasons are legion for
dyeing dress materials. Colors may
have faded for winter wear, but in the
spring shades, must be deepened to
shades appropriate for cold weather;
stripes or plaids may have become
tiresome to the eye and the only way
to change them and yet retain their
usefulness is by dyeing the maerial a
dark plain color. But back of all these
reasons lies the familiar one, that of
high prices. perhaps dress might be
discarded when it has been worn a
reasonable length of time and passed
out of favor. AS it is, most housewives
