MOTOR CAR is A
PUBLIC UTILITY NOW

"The greatest misconception con-
crening the whole question of motor
traction is largely due to the failure
to remember the fact that the motor
car has come to stay; that motor
traction is rapidly supplanting all
other forms of conveyance; that it is
concurrently revolutionizing country
life and nothing can stop it." says
Francis H. Hugo, secretary of state
of New York.
"The idea that the motorists are
the privileged rich and that the pub
lie does not motor and is, therefore
not interested in motor cars, is no
longer the fact. Today the public on
the road is the motoring public and
in any city street the number of
motor cars is greatly in excess of all
the other forms of conveyance COM
bined. 1t is this fact which governs
the whole question: because the
country is beginning to live on motor
cars.
Moreover the sections which have
the best roads and ordinances are
profting at the expense of those be-
nighted places that penalize motor
ing in the name of legality. But one
of the good results accomplished by
automobile associations in addition
to those accomplished toward high
way improvements is the organized
effort to discipline careless and reck-
less drivers. Scarcely a day passes
but what some motorists complain to
the state authorities against fellow
autoists for violating the rules of the
road or neglecting the courtesies.
Cars are accused of rushing at
high speed out of by-roads without
thought of the traffic on the main
road, of not slowing down sufficient
ly on roads crowded with pedes-
trains, of not allowing faster cars
to overtake, and pass them, of cut
cars they have passed, of refusing
to leave the middle of the road and
forcing cars they meet into the ditch,
of running through thickly settled
communities at high speeds with ex-
hausts open.
while there is no suggestion that
misconduct of these and other kinds
is indulged in by the majority of
drivers, nevertheless, so long as it
can be asserted of any considerable
minority there need be no surprise
that the motor car is cordially hated
by numbers Of the non-motoring pub
lie and the police are not supposed to
think that it can be safely left to its
own devices.
Anything that motorists can do
to purge the flock of the tainted
sheep will be of service to the cause,
but it is difficult to see how the state
under existing laws could do much.
The motor associations might help,
however, by expelIing or otherwise
discip'inipg members who have been
proved guilty of such behavior"

A card received from Thos. Brack-
en-, Sr., who left here two weeks ago
for a more beneficial climate in the
west for Mrs. Bracken's health and
also for a vacation for our good
friends, states that they have arrived
at Tuscon, Arizona, safely and that
they are both feeling fine. It is in
deed a good bit Of news to hear from
good old Tom Bracken and his splen-
did wife and We sincerely hope that
they will both be greatly benefited
by the Arizona climate. There is
nothing too good for the Irish, they
say and the old saying is more than
tenfold true when referring to Mr..
and Mrs. Bracken.

PLAN TO MAKE
MOTORCYCLE VISIT
A BIG EVENT
HERALD ZOUAvE BAND AND
MOTION PICTURE MAN ARE
TO ACCOMPANY TRUCKS

Interest in keen among many far
mers in this vicinity in the mammoth
farm demonstration and motor truck
efficiency tour of the Grand Rapids
motor truck dealers which is schedul-
ed to visit two dozen or more Western
Michigan cities and villages, includ-
ing this city, on a four-day run, COM
mencing August End The $4,000
motorcade will be met here by local
reception committee, after which the
trucks, big and little, all mounted on
pneumatic tires, will be put through
their PAGES. To prove to farmers the
efficiency of the motor vehicles as a
means Of transport and power for the
farm, the trucks will work under act
ual farm conditions in special dem
onstration.
The long caravan will pull into Bel
ding at $3.50 Tuesday morning, Aug
ust 3, the second day of the tour. A
two-hour program of music, speech
es and demonstration of trucks under
actual farm conditions will be given
before departure from Belding at
10:30. The reception committee at
Belding includes: Chairman, Homer
Unger, Harry Holmes, Howard Hall,
VIM. Wilson, Levi Tuttle, Ed. Enge-
mann, F. A. Washburn and Bob At
kinson. 1t is probable that moving
picture operator will accompany the
tour and film the day and night
crowds.
Accompanying the interesting car
avan will be the famous Grand Rap
ids Herald Zouaves, drum and bugle
corps, under the direction of Andy
Mouw. The Zouaves have never been
heard here before, although they have
an enviable reputation throughout
the state. In addition to special
features arranged by the local en-
tertainment committee there will al
so be speaking by men of national
fame who will accompany the party.
Either Lee II. Bierce, the eloquent
secretary of the Grand Rapids Asso-
citation of Commerce, or Charles l..
Jones, nationally known motor trans
port engineer, will make the prin-
cipal address in this city
An advance committee has been
over the entire length of the tour, ar
ranging local programs and provid-
ing for the housing and feeding of
the one hundred or more persons
from Grand Rapids who will make
IHe IOuT.
The thought of the Grand Rapids
dealers in bringing their trucks into
the farming country is that the far
mer cannot bring his farm to the
truck show, so they are bringing the
free demonstrations and sure-fire
truck right to the farmers door
where the complete adaptability of
the powerful trucks will be shown
under all conditions. The tour has
the endorsement of the Federal De-
partment of Agriculture and is look
ed upon by leading farmers of the
state as one of the big movements to-
ward the eventual motorizing of pro-
gressive farms.
Following is the schedule of the
entire tour as revised last week by
Charles L. Merriman. automobile, ed
itor Of the Grand Rapids Herald and
general director of the tour.

Gil made a step in progress when
they granted the change. The coun-
ty commissioners made a long stride
for betterment when they carved
out a new road extending South
Broadway to the Blackfoot river.
The next board of commissioners did
an important thing when they order
ed the turning of the bridge over
the Blackfoot river to make it line
with the road and cut out the come
pound curves that. are so dangerous
and annoying. They did another
good thing when they opened South
Shilling to the river and extended
it across to the state road.
The city and county are doing
good work in paving these heavily
travelled thorofares and relieving
the pinch and congestion on North
Main along by the lumber spur and
the fairgrounds. 1t will greatly re-
lieve the travel and add much to
the beauty of the entrance to the
town. The paving will relieve the
situation by the stock yards, and the
railroad company are looking for
ward to the removal of the yards
to throw the whole belt open to
travel and traffic at no distant date.
They have not yet made any dates
for the removal, but the railroad
company has been more progressive
than the town, and now that the
town is showing it's hand in opening
up and extending its northern. en-
trance on approved lines, we predict
that the railroad officials will soon
discover our forward steps and
speed up the plans for the removal
of the stock yards to high ground
where it will not be in the way nor
be subject to the handicaps that now
exist.
When the present plans being act
ed on by the city and county are
carried to completion, Blackfoot will
be listed as one of the towns rival
ing Salt Lake, Ogden and Logan for
the beauty and convenience of its
entrances.
