TRUCKS AID FARMS
OBETTERD DISPOSE
Of FOOD PRODUCTS

The modern farmer and the agrees
sive merchant welcomes the ship-by-
truck idea with open arms. They see
In II the chance to increase the ra-
dius OF distributing their products.
To the modern farmer the motor
truck is the connecting link between
the growing and the selling of his pro-
duce. He Is happy at the idea OF
bringing his produce to town, or the
market, selling 1t, and arriving home
has never been able to do that with
the horse, as 1t usually required the
biggest part Of a day.
The same keen sense that tells the
modern farmer to buy the most eff
cient machinery for his farm, tells him
that the motor truck Is Just as vital 10
this farm as these implements. For II
enables him to sell his produce with the
same efficiency that he uses to grow
II. He knows that the motor truck
is cheaper, because 1t gives more speed,
carries a much bigger, load and does
I three times more work. lie can see
that the truck helps him to haul his
produce in from the fields, and this In
addition to the other demands 1t full
fills, has proved to him the advan-
tages of the ship-by-truck method.
The aggressive merchant too appre-
Tciates the value OF the ship-by-truck
movement, because It enables him to
increase hts radius of service, and he
is broad enough to realize that the
motor truck IL a decisive factor In the
expanding of his business. He can
see that the motor truck Is travelling
three times the distance that the old
delivery equipment formerly did, and
he appreciates this RS a big factor In
adding more territory to his trading
area.
A great many merchants are awaiting
themselves Of the advantages of the
ship by truck movement. For example,
q wholesale dealer In butter and eggs
Tin Brooklyn, n. V, has a Paige modal
his delivery service that hauls from
Brooklyn to Philadelphia, a distance OF
over 100 miles, He says that this
truck has travelled over $500 miles In
the past five months and that 1t has
never been in a garage for repairs,
In a recent 400-mile expedition tour
held at st. Louis, a Paige truck OF the
same model went the entire distance
without adding one drop OF water "a

The bailders Of the Paige truck al

II do not know where they have
been .closeted; do not know by what
influences they have been blinded;
but do know that they have been
separated from the general currents
Of the thought of mankind.
And want to utter this solemn
warning, not in the way Of a threat;
that forces OF the world do not threat
en-; they operate. The great tides OF
the world do not give notice that they
are goin gto rise and run; they rise
in their majesty and overwhelming
might, and those who stand in the way
are overwhelmed. Now the heart Of
the world is awake and the heart Of
the world must be satisfied"
Opponents Of the league In this
country do not comprehend the tenn.

said the President, adding that there
is not one of them with whom have
come in contact who does not feel that
he cannot In conscience return TO his
people from Paris unless he has done
his utmost to do something more than
attach his name to treaty Of peace"
Assertin gthat the structure Of
peace will not be vital without the
League Of Nations" the President
continued.
Il must say that have been puz-
zled my some Of the criticisms-not by
the critics themselves; can under
stand them perfectly, even when there
was no foundation for them; but by
the fact OF the criticism.
II cannot imagine how these gentle
men can live and not live in the at.
mosphere of the world. cannot
imagine how they can live and not be
in contact with the events of their
times and particularly cannot imag-
inc how they can be Americans and

osity in their criticism. l have heard
no constructive suggestion. l have
heard nothing except will 1t not be
dangerous, to US to help the world?
1t would be fatal to us not to help
it."
OF George Washington's warning of
entangling alliances President Wilson
said that 1.-THE thing that he longed for
was just what we are now about to
supply; an agreement which will
disentangle all the alliances in the
world"
The President said criticisms Of the
league do not make any impression
on me-" because "the sentiment Of
the country is proof against such mar.
rowness and such selfishness as that"

president.
peaking after former President
TAFT had expounded the main features
q the proposed covenant, Mr.. Wilson
told the vast audience which filled the
etropolitan opera house his opinions

America.

that they should have been privileged
to make the sacrifice which It was
necessary to make IN order to combine
their might and their moral power
with the cause Of justice for men Of
every kind everywhere. God give US
the strength and vision to do 1t wisely.
God give US the privilege Of knowledge
that we did It without counting ths
cost and because we are true Ameri-
can, true lovers Of liberty and the
right"
E1,President Taft in his speech saiA
in part:
A League Of Nations covenant is
indispensable to the treaty Of peace II
the war "is to accomplish the declared
purpose Of this nation and the world"
Mr.. TAFT told his audience in IN ex-
haustiVe discussion Of the league pFin-
ciples preceding the address Of Presi.
dent Wilson.
Adherence to the Washingtonian
policy of avoiding foreign alliances
could not be applied to the present in
ternational status, Mr.. Taft declared,
because the interests Of the United
States are inevitably involved in the
preservation Of European peace" For
the United States to withdraw from
the project, he asserted, would make
the League Of Nations merely "a re.
turn to the system Of alliances and
the balance Of power with speedy
recurrence Of war, in which, this
country would certainly be involved
as It was in the present struggle"
The former president stated his be.
lief that 1t was the duty Of the Presi-
dent as the prime mover in the ma.

ton, Mr.. Taft said, he ventured to
doubt If there would be a majority Of
the members willing to assume the re.
sponsibility Of decreeing that the
treaty be amended by striking out the
constitution OF the league and com.
mitting the question to further discus
sion at Paris. Mr.. Taft stated his
opinion that the problem would have
"a somewhat different aspect" for
senator's upon whom would be laid the
blame for "postponing peace"

So says Miss Edna E. Walker,
the County Home Demonstration
Agent.
Home making is the biggest and
most absorbing business in this
country, and with the high cost of
living the financial responsibility
of the homemaker is great. In
most families, the wife might be
called the purchasing agent, for
she spends about 90fs of the in
come.
Now any business is organized
and run on tile budget plan. The
budget or plan for spending is the
only means Of putting the house
hold on a firm financial basis, and
Of equalizing family responsible
ity. Accurate accounts will help
make the plan work out and will
furnish a basis for mex year S
budget.
In making a budget, divide the
income into what the family needs.
These needs will differ greatly.
and there is no accurate rule for
the division. A general plan might
be as follows:
]. Food that really feeds. This
is of first Importance.
,. Healthful, suitable and at
tractive clothes. Planned
buying is much better than
the bargain impulse.
3. A sanitary, convenient and
attractive dwelling, which
provides comfort and enjoy
ment and is convenient
workshop.
!. a sum for miscellaneous and
saving. 4 surplus makes for
safety and contentment.
For the convenience of Wash
ington housewives. the Accounts
Specialist of the State College has
published an attractive household
account book. If you wish tc
