GRAIN

Corn prices have been high for
feeding and professionals momenta-
rily expected a reaction even when
quotations were at new top points.
Feeding takes so per cent OF the
CROP. Nevertheless factors tending
TO sustain prices are operative. The
farmers are busy with delayed field
work. The switchmen's gradual re-
turn has not diminished the original
car shortage and the strike has put
the railroads behind in shipments
of every kind Wheat and rye IS in
demand for export.
While grain prices may be top
heavy. shortage of farm labor sug-
gests an era of high prices for food.
Corn may be only near the level
which conditions justify.

ABILITY TO COVE BACK

SPOKANE. March 13.-Aftcr rest
ing on the bottom OF the K0otenai IlN-

half days suffering the strain of being
yanked out of the river bed by means
of a steel cable hitched to an ice
bound ferry, near Porthill, Il three
and one-half-ton Federal truck, own
ed by +. j. Burns, contractor, is none
the worse for its experience and Is now

Spokane.
While trucking ore from the Idaho
Continental mine near Porthill, Mr..
Burns drove the powerful machine
over a temporary road that led across
the ice of the Kootenai river. The
ferry was frozen in the ice and other
trucks had been crossing without dam
ger
Because of the mild weather the ice
had begun to honeycomb and on the
eventful trip a hind wheel of the Fed
eral broke through the ice. Mr.. Burns
was suspecting trouble and while mid
way across noticed a steel cable on
the ice attached to the ice-bound fer
ry. When the rear wheel went
through he Immediately hitched
the cable to the rear end OF
the truck. He then began trowing
planks around te car, but his efforts
were in vain and in a short time the
truck went to the bottom with re-
sounding crash of ice. Luckily the
long cable was still hitched to the
truck. Four horses were hitched to
the cable. When the truck was lifted
to within q few feet of the top the
cable snapped. ia
hook was then lowered and in
pulling up the hook broke. The third
effort was successful and the truck
was snubbed to the ferry and pulled
ashore. -

Detroit BUYS TWICE
AS MANY DORT AUTOS

In petroil-wnere everybody knows
very motor car and all about Il the
ales of bort cars in January were
double those of the same month Iaat
year. And in February the sales
mounted to three times the total of the
shortest month of 1919.
The reason of this is simple
enough; high cost has got in its work
almost everywhere, one of tho very
few exceptions being in the operation
of bort cars" says John d. Mansfield
general sales manager of the bort Mo-
tor Car Company.
The average number Of bort own
ers who come for service is about five
per cent of the total in this city. That
makes sixty per cent in year. In
other words, the average bort owner
does not have to have professional SER
vice oftener than every 20 months.
"This is so contrary to usage that
IL may sound extravagant, but careful
checking of the service department
verifies this. 1t is no unusual thing
not to hear from an owner for months
and only see him when he fits by the
salesroom. I have asked many of
them whether the fault were with the
local Service Department and the gen.
eral reply was that the owner has no
trouble in attending to all the wants
of his car.
Responsibility for this condition is
the simplicity of construction OF bort
cars and the accessibility of all parts
Both the hard work and the cost in
cident to the operation of cars as a
rule are missing in the instance of the
bort.
"Obviously, when man buys car
he wants one that is always ready Tor
use, which is exactly what the Dort
happens to be. In ownership there
is satisfaction less expense. High cost
does not lurk between the lines in spe-
and the owners themselves
are our best statesmen"

HISTORY IS
RECALLED BY VENTURE

Tho formation in Syracuse, New
York, on January 1. of new corpora
tion known as the Franklin Die-Cast
ing Corporation, revelas an interest
ing bit of automobile history.
Back in 1898, II. II. Franklin began
to manufacture castings by a process
first used by him and which was a
wide departure from any method pre-
viously employed. BY the use of this
process, which later became known
as die casting, it was possible to
produce for the first time irregularIy
shaped parts both accurately and in
volume, and which required no ma
Ginning before assembling.
The business, begun in a very mod
est fashion, continued to grow slowly
but surely and in 1902 the H. II.
Franklin Manufacturing Company be-
gan the manufacture of automobiles in
addition to die casting. The two dis
tinct lines of manufacture have con-
tinued to be made in the Franklin
shops ever since, although each SO far
as organization and personnel are
concerned has been independent of
the other.
In order to further the expansion
plans now under way at the big Syra-
cuse plant where 4,400 persons are
employed. the die casting business
and the manufacture of automobiles
will travel separate paths from now
