Warns Business Men to
Prepare for COMM,
transportation Crisis

"In the next few months this
country will suffer from inadequate
transportation facilities fully as
badly as it did at any time during
the war;" says R. S. Odell, of the
Odell- Hamilton Co.. who warns
business men to safeguard them
selves now against transportation
delays and tie-ups which are sure to
come with the signing of the peace
treaty.
Discerning business men see
what is ahead of them and are pre-
pairing now. Those who fail to do
so will suffer serious loss later.
"The best authorities in the coun-
try agree that beginning Immediately
with the conclusion of peace this
country will enter upon the great
est era of business activity and pros
perity the world has ever known.
With such a situation before us
the railroads should be increasing
their facilities to handle the extra
volume of freight; but just the
opposite is the case. Because the
railroads are obliged to reduce their
big deficits, they are laying off to cut
down expenses. This means low
cred efficiency instead of increased
efficiency which is necessary to cope
with the situation. One of the big
western railroads only recently laid
off $50 men in one of their shops.
"The country had to turn to motor
transportation in the emergency of
war, and in the emergency of peace,
which will be even worse so far as
volume Of traffic is concerned,
motor transportation is the only
relief to which the country can
look"

Road Notes From the
Omaha Automobile Club

H. c. Ostermann, field secretary
of the Lincoln highway, writes that
he will be through Omaha with an
army truck train around July IL.
Ostermann is making his 18th trip
across the country and knows every
foot of the way. He is acting as
pilot for the army train, which is
being pulled off for the double pur-
pose of recruiting and holding a
test. Secretary Smyth of the Auto
club has been invited to accompany
Ostermann to the coast.
Bonds Played in Luck.
"The motorists of Omaha and
Douglas county would have deserv-
ed severe faying had the bond
issue failed to carry" remarked an
enthusiastic good roads booster.
The 1lth hour effort of the labor
union to poll heavy anti vote failed
only because it was a day late i'll
getting out. Had the labor vote
been informed in advance two or
three days, it would have been good
night for the bonds, as the light vote
registered showed that only small

attention at all to cooperating in
the matter OF getting good roads.
ITS strange the way the motor
lists talk about good roads, and then
when the opportunity comes up to
get the good roads, only George

Joint Picnic at the Fisheries.
The Omaha Auto club and the
Lincoln Auto club are trying to get
together for a joint picnic at the
State Fisheries. Secretary Lynch

Thursday and found the roads fair

held on some Sunday, and it will be

at is a rather unusual thing to
me-" says G. E. West, manager Of
the local Stewart Products service
station, "that the average person
still thinks of our company only as
the speedometer maker.
"True, it was our first big product
and Stewart speedometers are today
the most universally used.
"But, in addition to this, we are
also the largest manufacturers of
gasoline feeds. In fact, our Stew.
art vacuum system is the only really
scientific feed system ever devised.

turers of warning signals and
searchlights Generally known as
spotlights).
"In addition to this, we produce
very large quantities of bumpers,
called autoguards, and also spark
plugs.
However, I guess we are up
against the same proposition as
Heinz. The world knew him as the
Pickle Maker and was slow to
think of him as anything else, not
withstanding the fact that he later
on made wide variety of articles.
So he inaugurated the 81 varieties

brought out the idea of the Stewart

dition to the Stewart speedometer.

All Types of Trucks Used
in Warfare and Trans
portation of Foodstuffs
to Be Exhibited.

Washington is in line with our
other leading cities in crowning the
motor truck king of the highways,
and today the people of that city
will turn out to witness one of the
most interesting parades that has
ever passed through its streets.
Motor truck dealers of the fed
eral capital have perfected plans
which will present the latest utility
for transporting our commerce from
the source to the point of consump-
ton,
The various departments of the
United States government have ar
ranged to enter hundreds of motor
trucks, while new vehicles of every
design and old veterans that have
done duty in long distance trans
portation will present \ contrast
which will be interesting
There will be huge army trucks,
like the ones which carried our boys
and our ordnance supplies to the
battle trenches in time to stem the
oncoming horde of Huns, motor
trucks which carry our mail into
the rural districts, remote from the
railways, and great numbers of
them, with all kinds and types of
bodies, which have carried ore from
the mines to the steel mill, and from
the steel mill door to the points of
utilization and consumption. Then
there will be trucks which are filling
that all-important duty of carrying
foodstuffs from the farm to the mar
ket. The trucks are in a service
which proved so important during
the war, when, with the railroads
overburdened, they saved the situ-

Good Roads Make Shortest
Route for Auto to Travel

IA good road is the shortest
route between starting point and

mon of The Nash Sales company
Likewise a poor road is the long
est. If motor truck owners don't
believe it-figure up the difference
in time, labor, gas, Oil and last,
but far from least, depreciation on
the truck, after covering both

"The result you get is the best
reason why poor roads are our
greatest liability and likewise why
good roads will prove our greatest
asset. Think il over"

Motorists who beat the season

APPERSON CAR
PROVES SUCCESS
ON COUNTRY TOUR
Trip From Fort Wayne to
Detroit Made Without the
Slightest Trouble In Motor
or Car

There are records without num-
Der of the performance of Apper-
,son cars under most adverse con-
ditions. In many cases while prov
Ing the wonderful power and value
# an Apperson car, yet the con-
itions encountered were the un-
usual ones.
1t is the everyday driving across
country, touring, that any one is
liable to encounter that ~roves the
real value of any car.
For that reason, the experienced
of 4 Detroit Apperson driver in
long pull, through driving rain
storm, in deep mud and in many
cases q quagmire, will prove a real
index to real Apperson value.
Without any further comment,
herewith is quoted from a letter re-
ceived from w. A. Pritchard of
Detroit, describing his experience
with his Apperson Anniversary
Tourster in recent drive through
Ohio and Indiana:
u never realized fully how fine
car 1 had or how good car an
Apperson really is uptil my recent
Driveway in my new job from
xokomo to Detroit.
We left Kokomo on Thursday
oft6F moon, rather late, in my new
sNpperson Anniversary Tourster, and
just lazied along until we got to
Fort Wayne, where we stayed over
night.
Il have driven cars for some
years, I have hit hog-back roads, |
have hit ordinary country roads, but
] must say that l never struck going
as difficult as that which we struck
between Fort Wayne and Detroit.
"For example, there was one
stretch particularly, practically IS
miles, with deep bitches on the side,
mud that was never less than six
Inches deep, with the Lain coming
down in sheets and making the
roads nothing but pond,
Beyond that we hit one stretch
OF seven miles where the mud was
so deep that the car which was 60
ing through in front of US with four
chains on it left no impress what
ever. In other words it was just
sea Of clay and water
"The Apperson walked through it
as though it were running over a
boulevard almost, On several oc-
casions ! had to set my brakes, yet
! never had a skid. Through it all
! very seldom had to put the car in
second and never had to put it in
low"

Then again, trucks with bodies

the stock yards of the country are
