"Last Way Best Of
 All" Says Tourist

First the worst, second the same, last the best of all the game. As we used to say when we were kids" said J. s. Price with reference to different methods of crossing the continent.
 MT. Prices old home was in Jackson. Michigan. but some time ago he de- cided to live in southern California and taking the train from Jackson he made his abode at Van Nuys. Then came the inevitable homesiclxness the east erner so often feels on his first trip to the west and MT. Price returned to Jackson by train on another route.
 Once back home" however he drew comparisons and decided to return to California. Meantime, while in Jackson he had purchased an Essex Motor car and drove around that section of the country $500 miles. He decided on this third trip across the continent he would tour back to the land of sunshine with his Essex and so he did. The trip as he took it was 2.S15 miles,
 MT. Price concluded that the last way was the "best of all the game" "Oi course there was lots more excitement and much more interesting" he said Then too, the trip was so healthfu and comfortable as compared with the confinement of the train, that I would not travel any other way than by Esse1 since this experience"

People SaOing Huge
 Sums On Tire Bills

A trans continental hard surfaced highway stretching from New York to San Francisco could be built with the money which American motorists will save next year as the result of the recent reductions in the price of auto mobile tires and tubes. Whats more, enough money could be left over to build a first class battleship for Uncle Sam.
 The recent reduction in the prices of tires and inner tubes will mean a sav- ing to the 5000, ,000 American motorists, says the B. r. Goodrich Rubber com pany, of approximately S150,00O,OOO. In other words, the country's annual tire bill of about $1,oo0. 100000 will be chopped down to Ss50,O00,00O.
 Anyone who has trouble in judggling such big figures can get an idea of what this saving will amount to by re- membering that mile of good hard surfaced, durable highway can be built l in most sections of the country for about $35, ,000 and that a cross country road could therefore be built with the amount saved-with quite a few mill | ions left over.
 The average motorists tire bill for a year amounts to about $125. Next year
 because of the reduced prices, $JS.T5
 will be Topped off of this amount. This individual saving does not appear large but when 1t is considered that S,000,00C
 motorists will save the same amount the total climbs to a dizzy height. The reduction in tire prices is ex- pected by the Goodrich company tc

Many Lines Using
 MoxDeI Trucks

The great number of lines of busi ness to which the light motor truck is especially adapted is indicated by the result of a recent survey of the truck department of the Maxwell interests.
 Questionnaires were sent out to 2,o0O owners of Maxwell trucks, picked at random in all parts of the country. Their replies showed that 142 different lines of business were using Maxwell trucks. A glance over the result oe the survey shows conclusively the i'm portant part of the truck now plays in modern business.
 Listed prominently among the users of Maxwell trucks are general mer- chandise dealers, wholesale groceries dairiea. oil industries, contractors, man. ufacturers, municipal services, iron and steel industries, and public utilities. Government departments are well rep resented.
 The general hauling and carriage business, which includes the trucks with bus bodies used to carry children to consolidated schools in the country, for service between towns, and in haul ing passengers in cities, finds the Max well truck well adapted to its needs.
 Farm work provides a multitude Of uses to which the truck can be put.
 Beyond these, there is a wide seat tering of miscellaneous uses, tending to show that the vocational uses of the Maxwell trucks are as varied as our business life.
 Of nearly 1000 replies received, the average total mileage was 15,713 and the daily average 36.5 miles. The aver age load was 2,647 pounds; gasoline consumption 11.s miles per gallon; and oil 194.4 miles.
 Statistics such as these collected by the Maxwell company prove that tho motor truck is an established and eco nomical part of our industrial system

THE TREES

A tree is one of the greatest OF
blessings, a wonderful exhibit Of di-
vine handiwork. Desolation Is con-
spicuous in the region lacking trees.
The sage-brush desert and the tree
less prairies seem to be crying for
trees to hide their nakedness.
Nothing is more beautiful or use
full than noble tree. What sense Of
ccmpanionship is felt when resting
beneath its shade! In its calmness
and stability it exemplified Gods way
of working, without haste, friction or
discord.
To cut down tree unnecessarily
is akin to vandalism, and deserving
of punishment as penal offense.
We learn how Nature requires the
trees, when noting the aspect of ter
ritory denuded of its forests; streams
tecoming dry early in the summer !;
Increased extremes of temperature;
drought Or food the order, instead Of
equableness in climate.
1t is well that conservation of for
ests is being considered by the gov
ernment. The Federation of Won
ans Clubs has done, and is doing
good work in awakening interest in
this important question, and at the
biennial convention of the general
federation, at Des Moines, in June, II
is to be among the prominent sub
lects for discussion.
The trees are as full of lessons as
of leaves. We learn from them the
art of llving-tbe greatest art Of all
herein we, as artists, work away
at the canvas of life. Many a medic
Gro production is the result; many q
daub, and occasionally a masterpiece
But whatever the outcome, all per
force, must apply the pigment to th'
canvas.
Too seldom is consideration giver
to tho wonder, the beauty, the powe'
of the trees and their lessons.
When a tree fall, 1t leaves
lonely, vacant place against tbs

Where memory sees
