Many truck owners have found that they are able to dispense with some of their trucks by using trailers, or at least defer the purchase of additional trucks. There are numerous companies using two set of trailers to excellent advantage, so that one set con be loaded or unloaded while the operating truck is on it's way delivering the loads of the other set of trailers. Some truck owners are able to use two trailers in connection with their trucks when they have loads of q light character. The Southwest Cotton company makes a practice of using two four wheel trailers behind their trucks.

 Tn our judgment" the statement continued, "the full sum subscribed in the campaign will be required. if these societies are to do what the American people desire to have them do in serv- ing the soldiers and sailors and ths other classes included in the original appeal.
 Moreover there could. in our judg- ment, be no wiser use of such funds, l ne QeIlOblliLdtlcN pidhS SO 1di ssi they have been determined, make it plain that the work of the different organizations will be needed for a long time and, owing to conditions which necessarily characterize the period ef demobilization, this practical welfara work will be even more needed than ever"

very best mechanics obtainable While they make a speciality of .Studebaker work, they will do custom work of all sorts.
 Showing the remarkably easy trac- ton of the Studebaker motor cars, an interesting exhibition was given on the streets of the business district of the city last Saturday by the Hal l.. Bird Motor company when a man, standing in the tonneau of a Studebaker car drew a big six Stakeholder by means of a Goodyear inner tube held in his teeth.
 The exhibition attracted considerable attention and moving pictures were taken of the feat which later will be shown in a moving picture theater in this 9ity and in other towns of the state.
 Other stunts of interest are to be presented on the strets at various times in the future by this new motor company showing the admirable fea- lures of the Studebaker motor cars.
 The display rooms are among the largest and handsomest in the city. The front exhibition room is by SO feet in size, with two sides entirely of glass; Connected with the display roomS, are the offices. with two private offices in addition.

HALL BIRD MOTOR CO. NEW PHOENIX AGENT FUR STUDEBAKER LINE

Phoenix boasts Of no more substau- tial and progressive concern than that which was added tp the motor ear com panies of this city when on the first uf the year the Phoenix Motor company was taken over by the Hal l.. Bird Mo t0r company at thc southwest corner Of First and Van Buren streets.
 Sole owner Of this company is Ilal l.. Bird, one of the leading business men, who has been connected with some of the most important enterprises in this city. Among the many con. ccrns in which Mir Bird is financially and actively interested is the Jefferson hotel of which he is part owner.
 In entering the motor car business, Mr. Bird has given it the same com plcte attention and fun financial back ing that has brought him success in his other ventures. During the seven years Mr.~Bird has been in Phoenix. he has made signal success and is rated at present as one Of the city's most substantial business men.
 In contemplating the Hal l.. Bird Mo- Tor company, people may feel assured that in doing business with that con corn they are dealing with a man who appreciates business done in the right way and who has ample financial back ing
 Tho Hal l.. Bird Motor company will handle but one single line of cars and trucks, the Studebaker, with a place among the real leaders in that indus try. Mir Bird states that he has no need for any other car, as the Studc- baker, he declares, fills the public de- mand.
 In taking over the Sudebaker line of motor cars and trucks in this city, Mr. Bird did not have todevelop a dc mand for these high-grade cars. When he assumed ownership Of the concern in Phoenix there were 31 cars on the floor. Every one Of the e has been sold. It is the intention of Mir. Bird to maintain a stoc kof cars on hand to accommodate the public demand at all times.

HAU[AGE BILLS CUT
 IN TWO BY TRA|LERS
 SAYS LOCAL DEALER

The same principle by which the railroad engine is able to pull a long string of heavy freight cars applies to a motor truck as well, so that trail erized transportation is absolutely cor rect in principle" declares C. Winfield Hartranft. distributor of trailers.
 Not only is the principle correct, but in actual practice trailers are an i'm portant feature in radically reducing the cost of haulage, as is being daily demonstrated by thousands of trailer owners.
 With improved construction. which permits trailers to follow the identical track of the driving truck, these auxil- iary haulers are able to travel practi- cally any place a truck is able to go and on both long and short hauls trail CTS have demonstrated their ability to cut transportation in half in the ma jority of cases These are instances where trailers have increased hauling

It's somewhat erroneous and ex-

and we'll informed farmer, for any
city man to think that all the farmer
does is to get up early in the morn
ing, milk the cows, feed the hogs,
turn them out into the fields with
instructions to hurry up and get tat,
and then spend the rest of the day
hanging on the fence, chewing a
straw and watching the crops grow.
The only Aladdins lamp on the
ranch, says the farmer, is the cd
lantern hanging on the barn rafter,
and all the rubbing it gets is once
in a while when one of the boys
wipes a clean spot on the inside OF
the sooty chimney with the fiat OF
his hand,

Purple Shades" by Augusta
Knight is mastery view of a path
leading into thick woods. The sharp
distinction between light and shade,
the play of sunlight and the feeling
of the dense shadow, the excellent
perspective, and the solving of the
ever difficult problem of painting
bright green foliage with color
that is true and not rank, make this
one of the best pictures in the ex-
hibition. 1t is especially pleasing in
the sure stroke with which the
medium is handled. THE Chapel

Knight, is a water color possessing
unity, interest and charm of color
and subject.

are particularly forceful. He gets

thoroughness of his Paris train
ing and should be watched for fu-
ture Developments. His chief
difficulty now seems to be with his
backgrounds. When hegets them
in place his heads will better show
how good they are.
Girl Reading" by Miss Gay
Williams, is good in color, in COM
position and in the serious and sim
cere aim of the artist. Her "Still
Life Study" of fruit and woman
Reading, Sketch" are almost
equally pleasing. Her work is
compelling and shows a desire to
eliminate pettlness.
