TRUCKS INCREASE
FOOD SUPPLIES
Milwaukee, Has Great System
for Bringing In All
It's Milk,

To increase the supply OF food is one
Of the most important problems with
which we are face to face.
Food must come from the earth. We
cannot fabricate the original supply in
factories.
We have got to go out In the country
and get itI And as facilities improve
for getting out into the country to get
1t, the food supply will Increase.
When farmers find a market at fair
profit for anything they produce, they
will produce 1t.
There are thousands of acres of land
capable Of producing fruit. vegetables
and dairy products that are practically
undeveloped to-day because the farmer
lacks the transportation to get these
products to the market In the limited
time necessary because of their perish
ability.
ut is just this difficulty that the
motor truck Is overcoming" said r.
%. Fulton, vice-president of the Inter
national Motor Company, manufacturers
Of Mack trucks.
milwaukee,, for instance. Is getting
Its milk supply from a radius of twenty
Ave miles from the city, due to motor
truck transportation.
Motor trucks privately owned go out
and get the milk right off the farm and
bring 1t directly to the city for distribu-
.tion. There are no delays in shipments
and one thing or another as is usually
the case in railway transportation.
THE cost of bringing the milk to
Milwaukee is cents a can cheaper by
motor truck than by railroad or inter-
urban lines.
'The milk comes in In eight gallon
cans and with the motor trucks hauling
90 per cent. of the $4,000 gallons of
milk that come into Milwaukee daily,
the saving amounts to s17.s12 a year.
In addition to this the milk dealers
state that they can handle the milk
cents can cheaper when the milk is
the farms than when they have to go to
the railroad station and haul 1t them
selves.
Time and labor are saved to the
milk dealers, and the farmers are out
In the fields raising other food while the
trucks call for their milk and take 1t
to the market.
THE most popular size of truck in
the Milwaukee district is the three and
half tonner.
Country and city alike are benefting
from motor truck transportation and
good roads.
"rhe source of our food supply de-
ponds upon good roads. Given the
roads, farmers will produce the food
and motor trucks will bring it to mar
ket In the quickest and cheapest man.

SCIENTIFIC TRUCK SALES.
Indiana Distributors Have n Novel
Selling Plan.

The New York distributors of the
Indian Motor Truck have developed a
novel method Of selling trucks. Instead
Of telling the purchaser what truck to
choose, they tell him how to choose a
truck, leaving the final selection to the
customers own judgment, They have
defined six fundamental points as fol-
lows:
l. Service station backing-The prin-
ciple that an idle truck is a losing truck
and that a strong service station back
ing must be assured to keep a truck
III operation all the, time.
3. Truck ownership or the principle
OF ask the man who owns one" the
idea being that the man you should
ask is the head of trucking concern,
Tor truokmen know. more about value
delivered than most of the men who
operate trucks.
L. The principle that 1t is not the
first cost but the cost per humber of
mile truck can deliver which should
govern truck selection.
5. Speciications-The ACCESSIBILITY of
comparing specifications point for point
to make sure that the truck purchase
embodies the best standardized mechan-
ical features throughout.
6. Reserve capaoity-The assurance
that the truck selected Is able to with
stand all extra strain such as unex-
pected overlooking and adverse road
conditions. The Indian distributors
state that IL these six questions are
truthfully answered by the maker of
each truck the intending purchaser has
In mind, and the answers are carefully
compared, the selection OF the truck
best suited to his purpose becomes a
simple and scientific matter rather than
one OF guess work or mere hehrsay.

Cleaning Seat Covers,

Seat covers may usually be cleaned
very satisfactorily with a non-alkalire
soap and warm water. The best way
to carry out the job is to take the covers

FRANKLIN TIRE MILEAGE.
Astonishing Figures Are Compiled
by the Factory.

The Franklin Motor Car Company
recently communicated with Franklin
owners throughout the country and dis
covered that the average mileage for
set Of tires on a Series model is
14.500 miles.
This average is for Franlxlins of every
current type. both open and closed, and
represents every condition of running
in practically every part of the country.
OF all the tires reported, only s per
cent. were worn out and discarded.
In spite of the fact that Series 3
Fralklins have been In service since
1916, the mileage from the original set
OF tires has Just been completed. The
best record made by a single car was
26,s40 miles for the front and rear tires
Every set of tires reported averaged
only one puncture to every 4,141.2 miles
of travel.

Little Girls
Instructed In
Fabric Values

OMAHA, Neb., Nov. 16.-The de-
partment stores OF this city have
started a systematic campaign to ed
ucate the coming generation Of wo-
men customers In the texture, value
and quality of fabrics, by inaugurating
dolls sewing classes for little girls.
Miss Mary Marston, manager Of the
dress and suit department OF one of the
largest department stores here. was
the originator Of the idea.
Women the Buyers
Women are the guyers for every
family" says Miss Marston, and as
such they should know values. Wo-
men who know values are not only
good buyers for themselves, but they
make good customers for the store.
All too few women, nowadays, know
materials. They cannot tell the diff
ference between a fair grade of serge,
for instance, and an extra fine grade.
Such women are the despair of sales
people, besides being next to helpless
themselves. The schools should teach
children textiles and their comparative
values. Since they don't, at least not

GENERAL WOODS SERVICE

The splendidly efficient work OF the

Omaha, is a reminder of the value OF
that branch of the government in do
nestle as well as in foreign affairs,
and in time of peace as well as in war.
General Wood was not permitted to
serve his country abroad; but not only
in spite of but actually because of that
unjust and odious discrimination
against him, he has had an opportunity
in his own land to render military
service not less essential and vital
than that which his comrades in arms
rendered at Chateau Thierry and in
the Argonne; indeed service .requir-
ing II possible the exercise of even
greater discretion and fortitude. It is
a great thing to win a victory by
straight fighting over a foreign foe
on foreign soil. 1t is certainly no less
great to win a victory over equally
malignant foes on home soil and to
do so not merely by force Of arms, but
still more by the discreet exercise of
the highest faculties of civil as well as
OF military administration.
