EXPECT STURDY
MASH TRUCKS TO
ATTRACT CROWD
All Three Models Identical in
Design and Equipped With
Internal Gear
2 Wheels.

Those interested in truck trans
portation are bound to give atten-
ton this week to the design and
equipment of the Nash trucks on
exhibition at the truck show" says
Mr.. T. H. McDearmon, manager OF
the S. Nash Sales company of
q Omaha.
This exhibit includes the Nash
one-ton truck. the Nash two-ton
truck and the well-known Nash
Quad. All three models are built
in the Nash factory, under the direc-
ton of c. w. Nash and his asso-
ciates, and embrace only those fea-
lures which time and the hardest
service have proved best.
Both the Nash one-ton truck
and the Nash two-ton truck are
nearly identical in design, although
the two-ton is stronger and heavier
in construction, to give it increased
load carrying capacity. Both, being
equipped with internal gear driven
rear axles, have solid dead" axle
4under their loads, a type of axle
(which Nash engineers believe. is
much stronger and more satisfac-
tbry as load carrier than the axle
composed of several different work
ing parts. Besides this advantage,
the internal gear-driven axle is more
economical of fuel.
"The most distinctive truck in the
group, the Nash Quad, is widely and
| sfavorably known for its ability in
extra difficult hauling service. 1t
goes a point farther, than the rear
driven trucks in the equipment Of
both front and rear axles with auto
matte locking differentials. The
Nash Quad thus drives on all four
wheels, doubling its efficiency and
pulling power, and saving consider
ably on tires and fuel. i
The Nash Quad also brakes ON all
four wheels, both through its serv-
ice and emergency brakes; not only !
doubling its braking capacity and
reducing skidding,. but also in con-
junction with four wheel drive, les
sening the strain on any individual
part in the Quad. /

Sleepy Customer Is
Given Gate; Service
Car Hands Him Lift

A. blizzard was hurting snow
against the showroom windows OF
the Ford Motor Company's branch
in Fargo, N. D., when q stranger
swayed from the walk and entered
the door unsteadily. He greeted
none, but choosing a spot near a
touring car, lay down and immedi-
ately went sound asleep. Efforts to
arouse him were unsuccessful.
Finally the sleeping stranger was
bodily lifted into a Ford service car
and taken to municipal lodgings,
where, once he awakens and listens
to certain more or less formal dec
larations and other rather informal
incidents, he will undoubtedly come
to a fuller and greater appreciation
of the universality of Ford service.

Secretary State, Department Of Public
Works.
The American people in every
state in the union have been study
ing practical economic highway
transportation for the past IS years.
Today, the problem confronting the
American highway engineers far ex-
ceeds the railroad problem of 1879
to 1883, when engineers were con-
confronted with the problem of
building 10000 miles of railroad at
a cost of $S00,000,000, for they to-
day are called upon to build 100000
miles of highways at a cost of
$3,O0,000
Final figures from the various
states indicate that nearly 7,000,-
900 motor vehicles are now regis
tered in the United States. When
one stops to consider that Nebraska

To give the running board of the
Ford car the stiffening it ususally
needs bolt the ends of an old iron
bed rail just behind the front fender.
Long hooks are next connected to
the center of the rail and to- the
frame of the car. This gives the run

erty owners if there is no aid from
federal or state funds; also county
bond issue or municipal bonds will
decrease the cost materially.
1t must be remembered that the
state and federal funds have been
apportioned to the counties by law,
and that no funds in access of the
counties share can be used within
the county.
Funds by Petition Only.
Federal aid can be applied to paw.
ing districts only by petition
through the county commissioners,
and in general they will not con-
centrate all of the state and federal
funds on comparatively short
stretch of road in order to favor
a paving district which covers
short mileage.
Though the federal government
provides an expenditure up to $20,.
600 a mile for roads, this does not
mean that $4,000 aid will be given
to any district desiring paved road.
Federal aid will be spent on roads
according to the laws of the state,
and it is hardly probable under the
present law that this aid wifi dc
more than grade the road, and pro.
vide permanent drainage structures
and correct alignment.
Maintenance of Roads. |
The total amount of money for
maintenance from the three -fourths
automobile tax is approximately ST.
100000, making total amount for
the biennium of $10666,000. During
the coming season we will also sur-
vey roads and complete plans for
1921 work covering approximately
1000 miles of road. To properly
take care of the maintenance work
our division engineers are holding
meetings with the county commits
sioners of each county and laying
out a complete program for the sea-
sons patrol maintenance. The state
highway system in each county will
be divided into sections depending
upon the traffic and the amount Of |
money available in the county.
Proper equipment is being pur-
chased and men will be employed to |
begin the first of April and continue
their work until the first of Decem-
her. In some counties where the |
funds are sufficient we will maintain
the roads II months out of the
year.
Thirty-five Grading Outfits.
We also have s. grading outfits,
composed of a 12O-horsepower
caterpillar tractor, two blade grad
ers and a camp equipment. We will
place these grading outfits in the
various counties and shape up the
roads that we do not have under
contract this year. This work will
be done for the counties at actual
cost of operating the equipment, and
will be charged to the maintenance
fund. In order to properly use the
fund in each county we
are logging each mile of the state
highway system, collecting complete
data on the condition of the road
in tenths of a mile, each bridge and
culvert, soil conditions and drain
age. All of this data is being COM
piled and plated on reference card
board sheets. These. sheets will be
kept up to date as sthe roads are
so that we will know the
condition of the roads on the entire
highway system.
We have received from the War
department. in the way of equipment
rs trucks, SO 120-horsepower cater
pillar tractors, and a number of
small pieces of equipment.
