MOTOR TRUCKS TO
~. ENGAGE in GREAT
RELIABILITY RUN

Of the First National Motor Truck Re-
liability contest, has just announced
that the start of the greatest contest
ever known in the motor truck field
will be June Ia. Entries will close
cars will have to be in the hands of
the promoters at Omaha not later
than Saturday, June 5. Mr.. Root
points to the facts that the roads in
June will be in their best condition,
and that the weather will be settled.
The days will then be longest. An
other matter that was considered was
opening June 8. That event will crowd
the newspapers with political news
during>a time when the white paper
situation is serious. The truck con-
test would naturally be sighted in a
news way, and much OF its value
would be lost to the industry. From
the date of the announced closing of
the entries May %, competitors will
have two weeks in which to place
animation by the technical committee,
which will then have just a week to
make the> examination. The drivers
also, in which to place the trucks in
prime shape. Drivers and observers
will be required to be on hand June
40 to attend a meeting Of the officials,
drivers and observers. The trucks will
be placed in an official garage after
their examination, by the technical
rcommittee at Omaha, and from that
time on it will not be possible for
them to be touched. Makers have
been requested to have at least one
driver On the ground by June S to de-
liver the trucks to the committee.
| With the announcement of the def
mite starting date, entries for the con-
test are now being made in consider
able numbers. and advices to the COM
mittee stating that entries will be
made have caused a considerable in
crease in the estimates of the probable
total entry list. The interest; which
has been taken all along the route Is
intense.

the costs OF operating similar routes

saW that they were proceeding on an

about 20 miles shorter. Instead Of
making a round trip daily, the ,ac-
1tual running time and the. time al
lowed for delivering and for picking
up return loads would have occupied
in the course of the investigation that
they had underestimated such items
as depreciation, annual overhaul and

MILES TO FARM MELT

Two Communities Find Motor
Transport Solves Prceent-Day
-, Problems.

Melting the miles between farm and
city lis becoming n Of the most
popular occupations Of the motor
truck in those sections Of the United
States where good roads are the rule.
Two farm communities lear Balti-
more, for example, are operating their
own motor truck liues into th4t city
on regular schedule. They are using
the truck not only in sending an aver
age Of 1900 gallons Of milk and a
large supply of other products Of the
faiths into the city daily, but also in
bringing back to the farms consign-
ments>of f~eedstuffs, farm implements,
groceries and furniture purchased in
the city by the farmers cooperative
societies in lots at reduced prices.
Botht>of these cooperative truck
lines have been in operation more
than two years-long enough to dem
onstrate the value and practicability
Of the plan under which they T con-
Quoted. Many of the persons they
serve state that without them their
farm communities would lose much Of
the o6ntentment that now prevails.
The increase In earnings and the saw
ings they make possible go q long
