Kind of Dope You Want

vestigatc by calling up two or three
reputable agencies, who will furnish
you with rates covering the different
classes OF protection, and you will find

AUTO RIDING HOGS
COMMON SIGHT NOW

II might have been a novelty a few
years ago for cattle and hogs to get
an auto ride. but today hundreds OF
mon in the agricultural districts are
making a living by acting as chauf-
feUrs for livestock.
Until the advent Of the auto truck
says the United States Tire Company,
the farmer who got his hogs and cat
tie nicely fattened for market. was
compelled to take a loss in weight
and quality because he had to drive
the fattened livestock to the market.
This trip. usually covering many
miles. generally ended with the cat
tie tired out and many pounds lighter
than when they left the farm.
But in the up-to-date farming sac
tions all this is changed and the
steer or pOrker makes a comfortable
journey to market in a motor truck
The cattle grower is thus able to get
his product in top notch condition,
with the assurance that every pound
of meat he gets on an animal will
still be there when the animal is
weighed in. BY landing his cattle
at the buyers door In an auto he not
only saves the wastage in weight. but
the price is better because the animals
are in fresh condition.
Some farmers use their own trucks
for the purpose but there are now
many truck owners who do a big
business in hauling livestock The
degree to which this mode of trans
pOrtation has been adopted is shown
by the record Of receipts at the In
dianapolis stock yards, where in the
and $4,000 Cattla arrived in motor
past eight months about 10000 hogs
trucks.

TRUCKS PROFITABLE
IN BUILDING ROADS

The motor truck has not only
shown its ability to cut transportation
costs when used on reasonably good
roads, but 10 Is also demonstrating its
ability to cut down the cost OF build
ing the good roads which are such a
vital necessity II the public - to
get the fun benefit OF the transporta-
ton savings which the truck makes
possible.
The State Of Connecticut has big
road building program now under
way. Three million dollars arc to be
spent this year in constructing per-
manent highways in that Common
wealth. In doing this work il has
been found that the motor truck Is
wellnight indispensable. Not only
has the gaSolene-propelled vehicle
proved more economical in the haul
ing OF heavy road building materials.
but IL has also strikingly shown its
ability to speed up the work to a
point that would be impossible with
out IL.
The highways commission Of this
State Is not guessing at its savings
either. It Is keeping very strict and
accurate records, taking into account
all items OF original investment, up
keep, and depreciation. and ascertain

found to represent about the earning

job. Then by subtracting the cost OF
operating the truck, including the
drivers wages, the actual earning or
saving of the truck Is shown,

AUTOMOTIVE
SECTION

It is doubtful il the average auto
mobile owner realizes the responsible
ity he assumes when he operates an
automobile. He not only must avoid
causing an accident, but also avoid
being concerned in an accident, even
though he is not in any sense at fault
The habitually careful driver-the
man who never takes chance-may
be. and often is, obliged to defend Il
suit which never should have been
brought against him, and whether or
not he has to pay a verdict. his de-
Tense usually costs several hundred
dollars.
All the care and caution that can be
exercised in operating an automobile
will not protect against justified or
unjustified claims and their conse-
quent lawsuits. There is but one
form of protection, and that is in
surance; and the man or woman who
operates a car without the financial
and legal protection that goes with an
insurance policy is inviting disaster.
How To Get Insurance.

cure insurance on your car is TO in

amount by any one other than his
employees.
The non-valued fire insurance pol
ic covers the car for the amount OF
insurance. less a deduction for depre-
citation, and the assured shall in no
event receive more than the exact
value Of the car at the time of the
fire. or it may be replaced at the OPP
ton of the insurance company with a
car of like kind and condition, and
there will certainly be a deduction
from the original amount, owing to
some depreciation from the time OF
the policy was written. Furthermore,
this policy, which does not cover
theft. is written at a lower rate, ana
is really considered more costly in the
long run, as you do not know den
niteIv what amount you will receive
in the event of fire.
Legal Liability Policy.
The legal liability policy covers
legal liability of car owners to the
public, including the cost of defending
suits. even if Eroundless. In case OF
accidents it will pay up to $4,000 foI
injury to one person in one accident.
and $4,000 for more than one person
in any accident: also the cost OF in
vestigation of claims, whether merl-
torious or not.
The property damage insurance pol
icy covers legal liability for any dam
age to any property belonging to any
other person or persons to the limit OF

ton to this. the company pays the cost

NOW BEST FRIEND
OF HARD WORKING MAN

The noticeable change of attitude
toward municipal ownership. on the
part of the street car companies. re-
lates very closely to the tremendous
progress being made by automobiles,
in the opinion of II. II. franklin,
president of the Franklin Automobile
Company.
Considering this evidence of re-
duced patronage" Mr.. Franklin saws,
"the whole circumstance reflects a
radical change, in the mode Of travel.
"A half hour spent at any large i'll
dustrial plant at quitting time shows
plainly the great strides which the
automobile has made among factory
workers, who more and more are de-
pending on their own cars to take
them to and from work. The own
ership OF a motor car opens III to
these men for the first time a possi-
bilitY Of out-of-the-city living, in
stead OF their being compelled to re-
side within the radius Of a reason

Crty; it has a big reason for being
proud of its fire department.
1.-The period of experiment and de-
Pclopment in the motor truck field has
passed and radical changes in design
are not to be expected. In the appli-
cation of the Republic motor truck to
the fire department service, we have
cot attempted to develop a specially
designed truck essentially new in
principle or radically different from
the standard Republic chassis OF we'll
tried and accepted construction.
Republic fire trucks are designed
for service 800 days in the year; to
pillow through any kind OF weather; TO
stand up under constant strain; and to
endure treatment at the hands of all
types OF drivers. Republic fire trucks
are designed not only to stand up un-
der half dozen short runs a year, but
to run at top efficiency every day in
the year. They are equipped with
standard fire fighting apparatus. And
the fact that there are over 200 up
to-date and well-stocked Republic
service stations in the United States
today who are equipped to give the
right kind of service every day in the
year means better service and salts
