Frederick Wagner, automobile edi-

the Moreland Motor Truct Co. made a
short stop in this city today on their
flying trip over the proposed route
of the big truck demonstration tour
that is coming through here during
the week of May II to %.
They are acting as advance scouts
in charge of advertising publicity for
this tour. This is to be one of many
great tours conducted in verious
sections all over the country in cele-
oration of what has been termed as
Ship by Truck and Good Roads
Week. They are enthusiastic over
the prospects of the success of the
trip which they believe will be of
great benefit to the communities in
helping along the cause of good
roads and in showing them what
trucks can actually accomplish with
capacity loads on long runs.
Entries for the run are still coming
in from the truck dealers and they
state there is every indication that at
least 30 trucks will be in line. They
report much enthusiasm along the
route and general desire to coop
crate on the part of the chambers of
commerce and other bodies of the
various cities which means an abund-
ance of instructive as wei las enter
tanning features in each place visit
ed. The caravan with it's band, gov

will be an unusual spectacle and it is
expected there will be a big turn out
at every place along the route.

the older American painters, he was
identified with the newer tendencies in
American art. His early training was

vances that at the age Of twentyseven
he was elected an associate OF the Ma
tional Academy Of Design.
Shortly afterward, in 1860, he went
abroad for a two years course of study
in Paris and Spain. On his return he
was made a full Academcian and, in
1856, he was elected first president Of
the American Water Color Society, of
which he was one of the founders. This
position he held for five successive
terms, and when the Society of Ameri-
can Artists was founded in 1878 he
became one of the charter members.
In his earlier years he painted much
Hudstn River and Lake GEORGE scenery
and the result Of his travels abroad
was seen in pictures sent from mo
of the countries of Europe. Italr APP
