SILK THEFTS IMPEL SHIPPERS ID RELY
 UPON MOTOR TRUCKS

Freight shipments of silk and other textile goods are increasingly becom- ing so hazardous through loss by theft that shippers are using motor trucks more and more for this purpose, says an official of the Pierce Arrow Motor Car company. One insurance author ity places the loss by silk thefts in the New York district alone at $3,000,- GOO for the year 1919.
 In fact, the railroads at times have refused to accept silk for shipment because Of epidemics of robberies. and to discourage shipments, they have raised the tariff to an almost prohibi- tive figure.
 Shippers, however. have been agree ably surprised to learn through actual experience that motor trucks haul their valuable loads not only more speedily but more cheaply. Moreover. the pos sibility of theft is minimized

TRUCKS WILL BE LEADING ACTOR
 IN CROP MOVING

The shortage of farm labor today is estimated to be between 1r500,000 and 2,O00, 900 men. Never in the history of American agriculture has there been such an urgent need for efficient methods to handle the products from the farms as this year. Even with a greater acreage planted this year it seems doubtful to some whether or not the country at large will be better off in the matter of food production, unless means are evolved that will insure good distribution
 With a big reduction in the number of freight cars and gondolas available to move farm produce, 1t is going to become quite problem in the next few weeks to move the gigantic crops of the plain states. Not only is 1t a problem to move the crops over vast distances but the shorter hauls. from farm to shipping point, etc. offer considerable reason for~thought. But, 1t is in the

 Outside of individual effort on the part of many western motor car and truck dealers, there has not been much activity towards the truck proposition. The railway situation and particularly the money situation have put some what of a crimp in the situation dur ing the last six weeks. Farmers, especially in Iowa, are ready to buy but they are having difficulty Tn financing the deals. Des MoineS deal CTS feel that when the new crop ship ments get under way this condition will be greatly eliminated.

 Today Peirce- Arrow trucks, oper ating singly and in great caravans, are hauling thousands of tons of silks wooIens and other textile goods daily" says the Pierce Arrow official. .Only a heavy duty truck can be operated in this type of work. which calls for steady, continuous, economical ser
