CHANGE
BY EDMUND VANCE COOKE
Tell me why
Must beauty die,
BE il star or be il flower?
BE il maiden standing by
With that love-Iight Of the eye,
Born TO live its little hour?
Can you bind
Your own mind?
Can you bid one heart beat stay?
Can you stop the petals fall.
Or prolong the wild birds call
At the dying Of the day?
Can you hold
Winters cold,
Summers shine, or oceans mood?
Is not every moment strange,
And the constancy Of change
Mankind's only gertrude?

ADVANTAGES OF MOTOR TRUCK
Save Much Time In Hauling HateriaIs
TO and From Farm-sig Draw
back Is Poor Roads.

According TO an Investigation into
the worth and service Of motor trucks
on eastern farms, specialists 81 the
United States Department OF Agrlcal-
ture find that motor trucks. as com
pared TO horses and wagons. last year
saved from one-half 20 two-thirds of
the time required for hauling mate
rails 70 and from the farms This In
formation was cleaned from study Of
reports from 75S farms. and they
showed further that trucks ranging In
size from One-half ton 20 i've IONS
were in use. with shout half OF them
OF the one ton size.
An interesting fact obtained from q
study Of these reports Is that about
one-fourth OF those reporting have
changed their markets for at least a
part OF their produce. Instead OF
patronizing their old markets at an
average distance Of seven miles from
home. they 90 10 better markets To-
Gated at an average distance OF -
miles away. During the year these
trucks Travelled an average OF $3.50
miles AT costs ranging from eight
cents a ton mile for the one-half ton
trucks TO 20 cents a ton mile for the
two ton size.
The average cost OF Insulting crops.
with the drivers time valued at so
cents an hour amounted To 80 cents a
ton mile with half ton trucks. 81 cents
for three-fourths ton trucks and de-
creasing TO IS cents ton nile for the
two ton kind. Along with these costs,
four-fffths OF those reporting stated
that their trucks decreased their ex-
pense for hired help. this decrease
averaging 1924 year.
The principal disadvantage Of the
motor truck. according TO this investl-
CATION. was poor roads. Il is stated
that there are about eight weeks dur

Mud. Snow. Etc. Hold Motor Trucks
Back.

Mud. Snow, Etc. Hold Motor Trucks
ing the year when the roads are I'm
such condition, because of mud, snow.
etc, that motor trucks cannot be
used. as the roads over which three
fourths of the trucks had To travel
were unpaved dirt roads. But I'm spite
of bad roads the average life of the
trucks was placed at 81 To : years.
and the largest single item OF expense
in connection with their operation was
that OF depreciation.
Most of the owners of the one-half

ton are about half divided between
pneumatic and solid tires. while those
owning larger trucks were favorable
TO the solid tires.
