 ''If the great war had been the Falls of Niagara; the conference was the whirlpool In that tumult of waters it was a miracle to survive at all much less to achieve mastery.

it has received answers from 753 farms in these sections who have motor trucks and have operated these long enough to judge whether they pay or not. A strong affirm ation of the worth of the motor truck comes from 95 per cent of these farmers. But the economy is said by them to be that of time ; the truck does not replace horse power.
 On 654 of these farms the same number of horses are at work that were used before the trucks were i bought. The trucks are used to draw products to market and to bring supplies to the farms. A 34 per cent reduction in labor is eff fected and the market range for a truck owner is widened from six to 22 miles. The point to note is that the truck is saving the farm owners time, making him more in dependent of hired labor, making him more a merchant of his own products.
 The truck-operating farmer does l his own hauling now; he gets to 1 market personally and to a com paratively distant market. But in stead of lessening horsepower, the use of the truck seems destined to increase this by increasing the mark ct demand on the farms. And ot the five per cent who replied that motor trucks were not profitable all but 12 gave poor roads as the cause of this failure to show profi table results.-Rochester Post-Ex 1 press.

 Long wear is woven into the tough, thick denim cloth. Every pair is always big and roomy = always comfortable. The wide, double stitched seams will not rip.

charged was being held illegally and
