out at slight cost as compared to the
heavy cost in money and life in SINH

NEW YORK. Aug. 13.-Truth is

A man and his wife, residents Of
Brooklyn, after vainly endeavor-
ing for three weeks to obtain
seats for a Broadway success, OBJ
tanned tickets finally.
They ate dinner hurriedly, and
telephoned for a taxi. They
couldn't raise a taxi for love or
money. Desperate, they wrapped
their evening draperies about
them, sauntered forth, came across
a truck with little ladder at the
tail-board, and, mounting the
rungs. were driven across the
bridge, Manhattanward
In New York they hired cab
to take them TO the showho6ss.
When they arrived there they

at Camp Mcclellan, Ala, she says.
His Heart Aflame.
While Oral was wearing a soldiers
uniform, Miss Goldman declares, his
heart was aflame with love for her.
He wrote her notes similar to the
following:
Listen, Sweetheart: I am coming
home TO you next week, SO be happy
and gay. I'm coming back to you
again and will be with you forever
and ever.
Don't worry and don't cry. for
I am yours and you are mine"
Then followed scores Of marks.
which Miss Goldman interprets as
paper kisses. Nearly every letter
carried its song OF JOY in border Of
these kisses.
Secluded Is Mont
For eighteen months, says the al
legged fiancee, she kept herself "se-
eluded," thinking only Of her soldier
boy. 1t was not until recently that
she noticed Mr. Orars lack of warmth
in his love making. On inquiry, she
says, he told her he had changed his
mind about marrying her. Since
then he has been devoting himself
assiduously tn the art OF clothes
manufacture.
Oral promptly filed a bond to insure
bis presence at the trial and a denial
that he had promised to marry the
plaintiff.

TELLS DERIVATION
 IF MOTOR BODIES

The derivation of the various names by which the popular types of motor car are known is decidedly interesting Coupe, sedan, limousine, touring car roadster are the names by which the five chief types of cars are known and both the French and English language contributed to their naming declares Billy Ferguson of the Ferguson -Keeier company.
 The word coupe was originally ap- piled to a closed carriage flo two pc sons. It is deived from the French verb meaning to cut and was so call ed because it gave the appearance oi a larger carriage cut in half
 The word sedan is probably one of the oldest words applied to a vehicle for transportation. Sedans were at first portable inclosed chairs carried on two poles and they derived their name from the fact that they were first used in the French city of Sedan
 Limousine was originally the name of a cloak worn in France and prob ably the name originated from the old province of Limousin in central France. Just how it later came to be applied to the modern chauffeur driven car is not quite clear.
 Roadster was first applied to ves- sells that worked their way by means of tides. Later it was applied to bic ycles and more recently of two- pass enger open cars.
 The touring car takes it name from the fact that it was the vehicle most frequently used on lengthy tourss

URGES ST0cKMEN ID. SHIP BY MOTOR AND SAVE MUCH POUNDAGE


 Hauling livestock by motor truck has 3. big advantage over shipping hy rail according to Curt E. Henderson. Fageol truck salesman for the Fergu son. -Keeler company, North Central avenue
 Savings in shginkage by use motor trucks for shipping livestock will more than pay the costs of operating the trucks" Henderson declares. Esspec- ially is this true with hogs, he states.
 Shipping hogs to market via motor trucks not only saves delivery time. but the saving in weight Is a mighty big item-one that every hog raiser should consider
 Before hogs are shipped to the stockyards they have to he fed to reach certain weight In other words, they are fattened before they are reads for market which entails the use Of expensive foods. such a scorn, etc.
 In the past it has been found that hogs thus fattened on the farm were below weight after being driveL to the ing them up again before ready for the market
 "A certain stock raiser recently figured that IL cost nm uedTIy dOubte to have to feed a hog up to the re- quired weight after arriving at the stokyards. Recently he purchased 3 truck and found that his hogs arrived at the stockyards in the same condi- tion and with the same weight as when they left the farm, thus saving more than the cost of the entire op- eration of the truck including drivers s wages, depreciation, wear and tear on tires, cost of gasoline. oil. etc The 21s -ton Fageol is especially adaptable for such work.

DEFINITE VALUES
 LEADING FACTOR
 ID AUTO BUYERS

Prospective car owners everywhere are making more careful investigations in the car field, said Billy Ferguson of the Ferguson -Keeler company 'sIt is now more than ever necessary that we should state definite values and give the reasons for superiority. This is certainly true of the man who is buy ing his second or third car, and it is becoming more true of those who are new among automobile buyers.
 Recognizing these as facts, Apper- son Brothers Automobile company have been giving future car owners definite statements to consider. How the 4Ap- person can go from 1 to 40 miles an hour in high in 20 secouds-how it can stop from 40 miles an hour to stand still in seconds, or a distance of only 10 yards. Such mechanical facts as the 13S-inch wheelbase. it's turning ca pacity of 38A feet and the tire and gasoline mileage records are all pre- sented to the buyer.
 There seems to be no part of the car that does not interest the pros pective buyer. He wants to know about everything on the car, from the make of the radiator to the type of tail lamp. He looks to the arrangement of the control levers and pedals with the thought of comfort in mind. In this day of long distance driving, this is es- sential. Old timers remember climb ing out of some of the early makes of cars, after days run, so stiff and sore they could hardly walk.
 The permanence of all the car $ values is most carefully considered. Not only does the future car owner want to know that these things are in the car, but he wants to know how long they will last.
 It is on these things that Apperson cars are sold. IL somewhat indicates Iturers of the higher grade cars
