A steadily increasing number of
shippers are looking toward the motor
truck for the solution of their trans
portatiOn problems. Farmers are in
Guided in this category, and it may
therefore be well TO point out. as the
result of actual experience of others,
the things they should consider in con-
nectiOn with the use of motOrtrucks TO
haul their produce to market.
In very few instances, say experts of
the bureau of markets, United States
Department of Agriculture, it is advis-
able for a farmer to purchase and op-
crate motortruck solely for his own
needs. as the initial investment cost of
upkeep, and the limited time the truck
is likely to be in use make the venture
expensive and disprOportiOnate to the
convenience secured.
Where trucks are operated by pri-
waite individual for profit the OWL er of
the truck usually operates between
certain points on fixed schedule. The
farmer assumes no risk. He simply
pays whatever the rate for carriage
may be, and may find the use of this
means of transportation an advantage
over the railroad or over hauling his
produce to market himself by team.
AT the same time it has often occurred
that when the farmer had learned to
depend upon this service, the rates
would be raised to point that the
farmer could i'll afford to pay, or that
another mOtortruck operator would
enter the field with the result that both
operators were compelled TO go out of
business, leaving the farmer without
any truck service at ALL
One Successful Venture.
1t may be well TO consider the basis
upon which a farmer may secure mo-
tortruck transportation at a nominal
cost and create a service upon which
he can place full reliance.
There are several cooperative mo-
tortruck associations in existence of
which perhaps the Farmers Co-opera-
tive company of Hartford county, Md,
has had the largest measure OF sue
cess. The territory served by the as
ISOLATION is very productive agricul-
tural region. Many of the farmers
ship milk to Baltimore, some raise
truck crops, and others practice gen
eral farming.
The association rates on many COM
modities are decidedly lower than
those of the railroad. The members
say that the saving of time in market
ing their produce is a big advantage,
also. For example, when the farmers
hauled their produce to market by
wagon they had to start out at mid
night and did not return home until
nine o'clock the next morning. Now.
at least eight hours of that time is
saved for other work.
But while the Hartford county COM
pany has had considerable success, it
would not have been possible had the
conditions not been favorable for the

A careful survey should be made to
determine the adequacy of present
transportation facilities, the reasona-
bleness of the rates charged, the APP
proximate daily tonnage available for
movement in each direction, the char
acter or the roads over which the
trucks must be operated end the gen
eral sentiment of the community to-
ward such an association. The dis
lance from market should not be more
than 40 miles and there should be suf

Soap should be used very careful ly, if you want to keep. your hair looking it's best. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and ruins it.
 The best thing for steady use is Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo (which is pure and greaseless), and is better than anything else you can use.
 One or two teaspocnfuls will cleanse the hair and scalp thorough ly. Simply moisten the hair. with water and rub it in. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy father, which. rinses out easily, removing every particle of dust, dirt, dan druff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft, and the hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to manage.
