IOWA FARMER
PUTS TRUCK
AHEADOF AUTO
Says Truck Saves Him $23
Each Day Hauling Corn
To Market.

Wayne A. Robinson, a farmer living
outside of Msrshalltown. Iowa has
sent to the Republic Motor Truck Co,
Inc, Of Alma, Mich, some seven or
eight pages OF facts and figures to
show how efficient and economical has
been the performance of the Model II
Republic. which was purchased las;
August.
Robinson has driven the truck more
than 2,5OO miles, and reports a gaso-
lene mileage averaging as high as fif-
teen miles, and never under nine miles.
The average daily cost for gasolene
and oil has been S2.75, and the only
repair item has been one new fan belt.
Comparison of the trucks work with
that OF a team OF horses is all in the
trucks favor. For instance, Robinson
hauls eight loads a day from his farm
10 the elevator, against two with a
team. The trucks average load Is
eighty bushels of shelled corn, as
against sixty bushels with a team.
This means more than five times as
much work q day with a truck as
against a team of horses,
On one occasion Robinson says he
hauled as many hogs as four team Of
horses. and was done before them all.
At another time he did in one day
what a team of horses would do in
nve, and thereby netted a saving Of
S23 a day.
Robinson says: IT have about 10000
bushels of corn to haul yet this fall,
and 1 believe I will have the truck
fully paid for in two years. Then
will still have the truck for years to
come. / have an automobile. a tractor
and a truck. and the truck is the big
gest labor and time saver Of the
three on my farm"

rience," writes R @. Kimbell In the
current number Of American Motorist
''let him keep as many trades away
from the Job as he can and let one
man do 1t as far as possible. am
sure he will have just as good and
serviceable a building, at q much
lower cost. as he would II he tried to
employ every building trade there Is

Colossal Profit
 in the Making of
 Wool is Alleged

London, Feb. 21.-Accusations that both the government and Yorkshire spinners were making "colossal prof it's" in wool were made by MT. Mac kinder, woolen warehouse man, al recent meeting of the Centra Profiteering Committee. He said z committee which investigated the prices of wool found that the York shire spinners were making from 400 to 3,20O percent over the mar gin of profit allowed by the govern ment.
 Members of the profiteering com mittee complained that the govern ment was willfully withholding pub lication of the reports of the inves tigating committees. Publication o1 these reports was demanded in { resolution. They predicted "how of generation" when the public learned the facts.
 "What is happening in sworstet yarns is happening also in cottor and metals" said Sidney Webb. "Tht safeguard of competition has beer swept away and business is honey combed by combinations and agree ments to keep up prices"
 London tailors have announced that mems suits may soon cost as much as 25 pounds.

London, Feb. 21.-Bishop Weldon dean of Durham, declares in an in. terview that society is threatened by forces which repudiate the Christ ian faith" The bishop has just re turned from conference or Christ ian reunion at Oxford which was at tended by both conform mist and no conformist ministers. There was a general agreement he stated, as tc the necessity of drawing churches together.
 "The world is rocking under mems feet The said. Society sthreatened by forces which repudiate the Christ ian faith and the Christion mora code. The church runs grave risk of losing her influence upon national life, the decadance of regular church going has long been cause of an xiety. The statics of divorce are alarming and it may be necessary to rebuild human morals from the foundation.
 Meanwhile the church is disre. garded because she is divided. It Is too much to expect that the world will siten to her when she\ speaks with many discordant voices. Unity alone will be the secret of her power The same need which has driven poll tical parties to coalition, drives re formed churches to federation. Int opportunity has come with the neces sity.

A peach-like color mounts the cheeks; baby softness comes to the skin; it makes the skin rosy-white, velvety and radiantly beautiful. It is wonderful for dark, sallow skin, coarse pores, pimples, blackheads, chapped rough skin, ruddiness, wrin- kles and many other facial blemishes. This oatmeal-derwillo combination is absolutely harmless and will not produce or stimulate a growth of hair. It is superior to face powder, as precipitation does not affect i. therefore it stays on better. Thous- ands who have used it have had the same results as Mitzi, and am sure if you will give it a fair trial you will become just as enthusiastic as she is and always use it in prefer ence to any other powder or beauti- fer"

Eastern Section is Hardest Hit by
 BlaZes in Forests

Washington, Feb. 21.-The eastern section of the country and the Mis- sissippi Valley sustain damage by forest fires far in excess of that in the West, great as is the devasta- ton of timber in that region, the Forest Service announces. With an average annual loss over a period of three years amounting to $20,727,- 917, the region lying east and south of Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee sustained 32 percent of the damage. In the Mississippi Valley, exclusive of Mississippi State, the annual av- craze damage was 61 percent of the total. This average for the Missis- sippi Valley, however, includes the unusually heavy losses in Minneso- ta in 1918, which alone aggregated $28. 100000.
 These facts are cited to show the great need of more efficient fire preservation measures, East as we'll as West. The reports indicate that the greatest number of fires were started by farmers burning brush and by railroads.

Last Wondering
 Ruins of Hudson
 Bay Trading Post

Edmondton, Alta, Feb. 21.-The re. moval of the last mouldering ruins of the old Hudson's Bay company's fur post, which stood in the shadow of the present provincial capitol marks the passing of Edmonton's earliest landmark.
 When this old fort was founded 1T 1795 it was the most western point of civilization in Canada. The prai, ries about it were black with buffale and the streams full of beaver. As late as 1875, the high stockade that originally enclosed the forst was stil standing.
 Settlement began to increase ir 1891, when the Canadian Pacific Rail way reached Edmonton. During the previous year the Hudson's Bay com pany had constructed a store on tho old northern trail, now Jasper avenue This was succeeded in 1894 by two story frame building, which was ther looked upon as the finest establish ment of it's kind west of Winnipeg.
 It was at this store in 1896 that thousands of gold-seekers obtained their outfits for the Klondike. Few of these adventurers ever arrived al their destination, many leaving theil bones to white nthe trails of the vii derness.

eral long air routes, including one from Berlin to London, via Paris ol Brussels, and another from Berlin to Constantinople, via Vienna, will be put into operation during the coming year.
 Commercial aerial service has been put into operation between Johan- nesburg and Cape Town, South Afri- ca. Australia already has estab- lished trans-continental route from Sydney to Port Dorwin on the north coast, a distance of 2,55O miles, with stopping points every BOG or 400 miles. Experimental conner cial aerial journeys of more than 1000 miles also have been made from Calcutta to other points of h. dia and regular routes are now un- der consideration.
 A British company was organized last June with capial of many mil lions of dollars for the establish ment of airship lines virtually around the earth. Airships of B. 900 .OOO cubic feet capacity, nearly twice as large as the British dirigi- ble R-34, the first lighter han air craft to cross the Atlantic, are con templated. These airships would be able to carry 15 tons of passengers and freight and have cruising ra- dius of 4,5OO miles at a speed of GU miles an hour.
 A route from London to New York will be the first to be put into op- eration, if the company's plans are carried out. Lord Northcliffe re-
 %Lo4 hn fir,on not far distant when London morn ing newspapers delivered by air plane would be sold in New York ons the same evening, allowing for the difference in time.
 If congress adopts the extensive programs planned for the arfy, na- wy and postoffice air services, Amer ican manufacturers are counting up- on the greatest airplane develop ment in history during the coming year. Availability of hundreds of army and navk fliers, they said, will make this possible.
