ADVANTAGES OF MOTOR TRUCK
Save Much Time In Hauling Materials
to and From Farm-Big Draw
back is Poor Roads.

According to an investigation into
the worth and service of motor trucks
on eastern farms, specialists in the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture find that motor trucks, as com
pared to horses and wagons, last year
saved from one-half to two-thirds of
the time required for hauling mate
rails to and from the farms. This in
formation was Cleaned from study of
reports from 753 farms, and they
showed further that trucks ranging in
size from one-half ton to five tons
were in use, with about half of them
of the one ton size.
An interesting fact obtained from
study of these reports is that about
one-fourth Of those reporting have
changed their markets for at least a
part of their produce. Instead of
patronizing their old markets at an
average distance of seven miles from
home, they go to better markets To-
Gated at an average distance of 20
miles away. During the year these
trucks Travelled an average of $500
miles at costs ranging from eight
cents ton mile for the one-half ton
trucks to 20 cents a ton mile for the
two ton size.
The average cost of hauling crops.
with the drivers time valued at so
cents an hour amounted to 80 cents
ton mile with half ton trucks, "a cents
for three-fourths ton trucks and de-
creasing to IS cents ton mile for the
two ton kind. Along with these costs,
four-fifths OF those reporting stated
that their trucks decreased their ex-
pense for hired help, this decrease
averaging 1924 year.
The principal disadvantage of the
motor truck, according to this investi-
cation, was poor roads. 1t is stated
that there are about eight weeks dur

CLASS BABY RATTLES
ATHLETIC EQUIPMENT

Infants rattles are hence
forth to be classed as athlet-

state boxing commission. Tom
Biggers, the commissions chair
man, so decided when applica-

was made by Superintendent
Montgomery of the State School
for Orphans at Coldwater.
Among the commissions du-
ties is the distribution among
schools of athletic goods pur-

boxing bouts in the state.
The Coldwater requisition was
the first to include athletic
equipment for such young ath-
letes, but Biggers was quick to
decide that rattles could be so
classed.

In 1913 Evers was made manager of

SUPREME 0PTIMlST OF
AGE GETS HIS REWARD


This story indicates that the
champion Optimist Of the age
has been found. A bunch of
st. Paul players journeyed to
Saltwater to play game
against team made up of the
inmates Of the Minnesota state
prison. In the game one of the
convict players laced out cou-
pie of long hits. He was using
one of a st. Paul players bats
and was highly elated at the
execution he was doing with it.
In the showers (which the play
ers of both teams took together,
the convict went to the owner
of the bat and said:
Say. pard, / would like to
buy that club of yours. I've
been promised a trial in the big
sticks when / get out and If /
had that bat I'd be optimistic
about my chance of making
good"
How long are you in forY'
asked the visiting player.
Fifteen years." was the
reply.
Another convict, overhearing
the conversation, growled out of
the corner of his mouth: "He
is some optimist, you ought to
give him the bat"
The cheerful convict got the
bat.
