haul ut either end of the rail and wa
ter routes-that is, in haulage by
highway. There are tremendous pos
sibilities in savings in this direction.
Careful investigation by the depart
ment of agriculture last year show
that haulage from farms to shipping
points costs less than half as much
by motor truck as by horse and wagon,
even under present conditions of the
highways. Thus, the average cost of
hauling wheat by wagon was 80 cents
ton for each mile, while the cost
with motor trucks was only Is cents;
to haul corn by wagon cost 33 cents
per ton-mile as against Is cents by
truck, and to haul cotton by wagon
cost 48 cents compared with IS cents
by motor truck.
Trailers Lower Rates.
Even these comparatively low rates
for hauling with motor trucks can
be cut In half by the general use of
trailers, since the hauling capacity
of a truck can be doubled or even
tripled In many cases by towing one
or two loaded trailers behind the
truck, using semi-trailer with the
truck.

What this country needs is less
agitation and more repose. The
evils which seem to exist st-alleged
profteering, the high cost Of liv-
ing, so.called industrial unrest
will continue just so long as the
majority of the people are engaged
in making it continue. When we
bring ourselves to a state of ma
tional repose. then will the things
which seem evils disappear-and
disappear quickly. We have be-
come nation of scolds, fault-fin-
ders and natural grouches. Good
cannot come from such a mental
attitude. You all know that.
Adjustment cannot come with
every one defying adjustment.
Fairness cannot come with every
one fighting against fairness.
Stop scolding, stop finding fault,
stop grouching. and when you do
the real troubles will settle them
selves. This is not a theory. 1t
is good common hard sense. Lets
try it.

Watch Of Uncertain Ace

In the show window of the Fuller
jewelry store is a watch which is
owned by George F.. Frye and the age
of the watch from all indications is
very uncertain. The timepiece is
what is known as an English Berg
and was made by one Bullingford in
London. In 1900 such a watch as that
was considered 80 small that 1t was
impractical for use and it is fully ten
times as large as many watches. 1t
is wound by chain, very much like
the sprocket bicycle chain. A key is
used in winding. The chain Is fine
that the whole moves smoothly. A
piece Of paper in the back of the
watch bears a date which reads very
much like March 1916 and shows that
the watch had been repaired, pre-
sumably in Portland. England, al
though it bears a further address OF
Exchange street and the name of the
matchmaker and mathematical in
strument maker" Henry s.. Pearzon.
In the back of the case is another
circle of paper bearing the date Il :
22-51" and says that the watch was
repaired by Hoyt and Badger of New
York. This watch is of the earliest
make Of English watch, has no
jewels, runs in the metal. Even in
the early part of the 18th century in
this country, one known famous
matchmaker said his company wal
making seven watches day and the
reply was. Where would you even
sell seven watches a day" Now one
Of the well known watch factories OF
this country turns out 10000 watches
