NEW CROSS-COUNTRY
MARK BY TRUCK

A new worlds record for IL days.
five hours for the 3.5oo-mile trans
continental trip from Los Angeles
TO New York has been made by a
pneuma ticaily equipped motor truck
of the Goodyear Tire a Rubber Co.
The previous record OF II days
and three hours was established in
1913 by a lightweight Maxwell truck.
When the thrce-ton Packard that
had hung UP tho new coast.to.coast
record rolled into New York City u
had travelled from the Atlantic TO
the Pacific four times since 1918 and
rolled a total OF 10000 miles.
Driven by Howard Sholder and
Herbert Temple. the big freighter
Travelled 1000 miles over the Santa
Fe route TO Kansas City in eight
days and IL hours despite % hours
lost because OF bad roads and de-
tours in New Mexico.
lust IL days after leaving Los An
geles the big truck rolled into the
factories at Akron distance. Of
1900 miles. The drivers relieved each
other every six hours. one sleeping
in a comfortable cab behind the driv-
er's seat. while the other maintained
the schedule.
The truck made its first transcon.
tinental run from Boston TO San
Francisco in September. 1873. 700
miles in II days. The same truck
Travelled with an army transport
train over the Lincoln highway in
1919 and since then has been giving
demonstrations along the Pacific

Company officials believe that the
new record. with it's average daily
run Of $50 miles. will stand for some
time.

1t evidently, had not occurred to Mr.

OLD AND NEW cox SLOGANS.

Washington. - The following inter-
esting interview with Governor James
M. Cox Of Ohio was published In the
hotel column of the Washington Post
four years ago-viz, on July 20, 1915:
"Ohlo Is not the only state where
the people are shouting the praises Of
the President for having preserved
peace in the United States. Our honor
has remained unsullied. The slogan
He Kept Us Out Of War will be the
most effective argument the Democrats
can use in the campaign. Americanism
has been pre-empted by the President.
and every other problem Of national
import has been met squarely and sat
isfactorily."
This tends to show the caliber Of
Governor Cox. With him 1t Is any
thing to win, any sort Of catch phrase,
slogan or anything to deceive or fool
the people.

HARDING TO THE FARMERS.

Senator Harding's speech to the

out the entire address. Nothing could
more thoroughly impress intelligent
people with the difference in the sena-
tor and his opponent and their qualifi-
