TRUCKS help
TEXASBUSINESS
WHEN LoNcsHoREMEN STRIKE
MOTOR VEHICLES ARE CALLED
ON TO RELIEVE CONGESTION.

One of the results of the strike OF
the longshoremen at Galveston is that
motor trucks supplanted trains In
moving freight consigned to merchants
in Houston, a distance OF SO miles
from the water front. Houston mer-
chants with millions of dollars worth
of merchandise lying on the water
front because the 1ongshoremen were
on a strike, recently descended upon
the port with fleet of motor trucks
and moved hundreds of thousands of
dollars worth of merchandise from
the wharves to their place of business.
They were unable to get this merchan-
disc over the railroads because strik-
ers refused to load 1t on the cars at
Galveston as well as to take any more
of it from the hold of the ships.
The experiment was nowhere near as
expensive as the Houston merchants
had feared and there is now. q move
on to organize a motor transportation
comany which would confine its busi-
ness to hauling freight coming by
boats from New York or other ports
to Galveston for Houston merchants.
When the plans are completed the mer-
chants believe the expense will be less
than charges made by the railroad plus
the drayage. the service assured even
in times of strikes like that now tying
up the port and Withholding millions of
dollars worth of merchandise from
Texas merchants.
The charge made by the railroads for
hauling freight from Galveston to
Houston is around 10 cents per cwt.
The charge of the draymen Of Hous-
ton for hauling the freight from the
railroad warehouse to the merchants
place of business about 5 cents per cwt.,
making the total cost to the merchant
Is cents per cwt. to get freight from
Galveston to their stores. Merchants
and truck men are figuring that the
trucks. with regular loads assured. can
haul the freight from the Galveston
docks to the door Of the merchant for
less than this.

Within the last few weeks scores of
business executives who are in close

such ardent appeals for wider utiliza-

One of the strongest appeals was
contained in a statement Of William

leaders OF industry throughout the
country who are becoming MORE and
more concerned over the need Of a
practical solution to the vexing and
appalling problem with which COM
merce of the United States is con-
fronted.
A consequent result of discussion by
these representative business men is a
greater realization than ever of the in
Independence Of railways and truck
transport. It has come more forcefully
apparent to industry that fulfillment
of the demand for additional tra&e-
portation facilities is imperative.

to the needs of the country. The most
practicable as well as the most imme-
date relief that can be provided is
through good roads and the motor
truck"
The opinion Of business men gem
orally is that the truck is deserving of
unqualified support from every branch
Of industry.

new MANNER OF
CURING TOBACCO

In the annual report of the
Kentucky Experiment Station
which IS Just off press, Director
Thomas Cooper writes:
For several years past the Ex-
pertinent Station has been at
tempting to determine a method
OF curing hurley tobacco by arti-
fetal heat. Enough work has
been completed to show that as
high grade of leaf can be obtained
by f1ue-curing at a relatively low
temperature as. by air curing, thus
eliminating completely the dan
ger OF house burning.
With the increased impo. lance,
OF the hurley tobacco industry. it
is probable that the use of artif-
cial heat may be advantageusly
resorted to more generally. This
would ohld true especially in sea-
sons when climatic conditions are
unfavorable for curing. During
the past year, curing experiments
were conducted with dark tobac.

SWIFTvs PRODUCE REVIEW

Butter production is still heavy fol
this time of year, owing to good pas
turage conditions. This fact and the
importations of foreign butter have
given the market little more thar
can normally be consumed, bringing
about lower values. Values for the
next few months probably will de-
pend largely on the amount of butter
imported, as the production in this
country should show gradual de-
crease.
Egg production ,as is usual at this
time of year, is falling off rapidly
and as the demand is very good. the
dealers are now drawing freely from
their storage stocks. These at the
present time are lighter than for the
same period last year.
Poultry is moving in larger vol
une and prices are naturally some
what lower. There is good demand
at the present time, but with increas-
ed offerings, which are natural at this
time of year, indications for future
market are downward.

NEW LAW DEVELOPS
ADMIRABLE TRAITS
Folks of the Hills Forced To Send
Children To School For
the First Time

Inc new school laws have brought
some new developments which are
interesting in may ways. The com
pulsory educational law was the
means of bringing into school for the
first time many children who had
never been within the confines of a
school room. Some fthem were ten
years old, and some older This, serves
to illustrate the power of the law and
the abiding faith Of those of the rural
sections, when they realize that to
dlsobey means prosecution.
This, however, is but one of the
facts. 1t has been demonstrated
that the desire of those peoples of the
hills, of which there is much std. and
much OF this against them, and that
they are in many ways law abiding.
1t Is being shown every day by that
part of the lay giving pupils between
the ages OF II and IA, inclusive, spe
cial permission to be absent from
school, when this permission is asked
of the attendance officer. There We're
many of these officers surprised upon
llnding themselves confronted by peo-
pie who were not supposed to know
the law, petitioning for the absence
fthis boy or that, in order that he
may assisa with the work at home
There have been many cases of this
character, and it is probable there
will be others, all of which proves the
desire fthe average citizen-eyen
those of the hills to obey the law in
many respects. In more densely pop
uiated sections, where all are familiar
with the law, there are many infrac-
tions.
