Greatest Range Of Mobile Guns.
The 14-inchers had greater range
than any gun ever before placed on
mobile mountings. The German guns
which fired on Paris were freaks"
They were built on permanent steel
and concrete foundations. Their pro-
jectile was small and specially built
for long flight. This reduced their eff.

Because Of their permanent position

ter Of supply and demand.
From 1899 to 1900 the population of
the United States increased q per
cent, and even with improved meth
DDS in these days it was only possible
to increase the production of food
stuffs 10 per cent-hence the in
creased cost Of living.
In 1880 70 per cent of the popua-
ton of the United States lived on
farms. 1t was necessary then for
each farmer to produce only sufficient
food for himself and a mere fraction
of another family. Today over 70
per cent of the population Of the
United States lives in the densely pop
| ulated cities. Each farmer must pro-
duce enough for himself and two adj
dttional families in the United States,
not taking into consideration starving
Europe.
The power wagon manufacturers
of America are face to face with the
fact that it is their duty to learn
quickly .the needs of the American
farmer and produce and equip ma
chine that, will most efficiently and eco
nomically serve his needs.
"The United States department of
agriculture in 1918 made very thor
ough survey of truck operations in
the rural districts. They found that
the length of hauls by motortruck
averaged 11.3 miles, as against 8
miles with team and wagon; that "a
round trips were made per day with
the motortruck against 1.5 round
trips with the team; that with the mo-
tortruck wheat and corn have been
transported to market at 15 cents per
ton mile, as against 30 cents per ton
mile for wheat by team and 80 cents
per ton mile for corn by team.
'These facts would indicate that in
point Of time and miles covered the
motortruck is practically four times
as efficient as the horse and wagon.
And Of course it Is self evident that
the time saved enables the farmer to
do more perfect job of preparation,
planting. cultivation and harvesting.
'aThe efficiency of motortrucks and
the broadening Of their field Of opera
| tons has been increased more by the
development of pneumatic tires than
by anything that has come to the In

afford traction and enable the truck
to negotiate mud, sand and snow on

would not operate. Their cushioning

rough roads this cushioning quality is
of inestimable Importance when the
shrinkage in live stock and the damage
to perishable merchandise is taken
into consideration,
sit is pneumatic tired trucks, there

ers on this tour. Undoubtedly the
