This simply means. declares Mr.
Pulcher, that the possible use of trucks
will be increased just that much
through better and larger roads; AS
the railroads may be compared to the
arteries of tho body which carry the
main streams of BLOOD. pointed out
Mr.. Pulcher, $50 may the trucks be
compared to the veins, which spread
out in network to the extreme mem
bers Of the human body. To the smaller
localities, inaccessible or unprofitable

perform the same function as the veins.
"World production was .speeded up
during the war and 1t will never go
back. The lessons learned will be pre-
served. The demand for delivery,
speedy delivery, Is constant everywhere.
| The merchants and manufacturers who
can meet this demand best will be the
ones who succeed.
"Just as tho people chafed at the
somewhat retarded mail deliveries dur
ing war time due to insufficient help,

slider unnecessary delay in their other
necessities Of life. Good roads and
more roads--what merchants have been
wanting for years-are now being built.
It is up to them to utilize them.

Rough Riding Stunts
Used to Test Marmon Cars

C. E. Jefers, chief engineer Of the
Nordyke & Marmon Company, followed
unique course in developing the ex-
perimental models of the new series
Marmon "a by giving them into the
hands Of two hardened graduates Of
the testing crew with instructions to
try. to "bust 'em." One Of these
testers is Joe Dawson. winner Of the
1912 50O-mile Indianapolis sweep
stake. and the other is Bruce King,
who has ruled the final assembly and
testing Of Marmons for years. With
Mr.. Jeffers believed he would very
quickly discover weaknesses which
might exist. From the tabulated
findings of months Of tests Mr.. Jeffers
developed this car, which has such a
remarkable performance record.

Stephens Features
Economical Engine

To build motor car Of service,
Stephens's makers developed an over
head valve engine, 8Ax4h bore and
stroke, which, although rated at only
25,3 horsepower, develops 81.
The low gas and oil consumption Of
this engine attracted attention and In

line mileage Of 21,5. and again repeat
ing its record performance in 1919,
winning over all water-cooled cars with
record of 21.4 miles a gallon.
The engine is known as the engine
with an Interior manifold. It is en-
tirely within the engine, because of the
vaporizing wall and experimenting
chamber which prepares gas charges

FOOD SUPPLIES

Ii one considers the present
prices of corn, wheat, oats, hay
and other food and feedstuffs,
takes into consideration the 1920
prospects for these crops and
then stops to think of the slow
sales OF the low grades of cotton
now on hand, it is difficult to I'M
derstand the reason of those far
mers who are deliberately refus-
ing to plant for adequate supplies
of food and feedstuffs. All that
the South buys will be high
priced; perhaps cotton wifi also
be high-priced. But even IF this
be true, the South must pay the
heavy freight charges and large
handling costs in bringing corn.
hay and other such bufky pro-
ducts from the north, which can
not fail to be an economic loss

EYES THAT SEE

Eyes that see can find much
food for thought in this town.
They can see the opportunity
tor development and expansion
and for the making of this com
munity thriving hive of indus
try.
The big cities are staggering
under a mountain of profiteerine
price increases in every depart
ment of the manufacturing world
Rents, taxes, power, light, heat,
everywhere their bills are mount,
ing higher from day to day, with
apparently no relief in sight.
1t is small wonder they demand
enormous prices for their pro-
ducts.
In this town it would be diffe-
rent. There would be none OF
the abnormal expenditures neces-
sary in the large cities.
AS much work and as good a
product can be turned out here
in a day as can be produced in
any .city.
The person who purchases an
article of manufacture considers
the value of the article and not
the place where it was made.
If we can produce just as good
an article here and sell it for less
than the city made article there
is no reason why it should not
command ready sale.
With conditions as they are
there is no reason why we should
not have number of thriving fac
tories right here in this town.
Eyes that see have already
seen the opportunities that are
before us.
But it takes more than eyes
to float an enterprise that calls
for the initial expenditure OF mon
ely.

LET THE PEOPLE TALK

Some people object to hearing
other people talk.
Possibly they prefer to dokall
the talking themselves.
Then again, when other people
talk, people learn things. And.
it is to the interest of some peo-
pie that other people be not over
ly versed in the affairs of the ma
ton. 1t dims the radiance of
their own intellectual reflectors.
When men pull off crooked
deal in political or commercial
life some one invariably knows
something about it. And when
some one knows, there is danger
of others soon learning-if some
one talks.
For many years it was the GUS
tom of Our self-appoiRted " lead
ers-" to talk while the rest of us
listened. That was good for the
leaders" for they generally told
only that which it was to their
interest to tell.
But now it is different. y
We have our leaders, also
self appointed, but we listen when
feel like and later do as we please.
We also talk, and we listen to
others talk, for the more we all
talk the more everybody learns.
Sometimes our talk pains" the
leaders" for it unearths facts
which they would prefer kept Sc
cret.
But we talk just the same, and
we have disconcerting habit OF
asking our leaders" why they did
or they didn't.
Sometimes these questions are
! embarrassing, and difficult to ans,
| wer, and the LEADERS" become
flustered and confused, sand at
tempts to camoflage.
Then we do some more TALKING
and this time the leader" does
the listening-or we find another
leader.
Yes, talking is good thing and
it is seldom cheap, for even the
most trivial of conversations
sheds light upon some subject or
other.

HAS GREAT FAITH IN C0c0NUT
German Who Has Tried It Declares
It to Be the Ideal Food for
Sustenance Of Man.

One OF the strangest characters In
the world is Auguste Englehardt, a
young German who lives on the island
of Kabakon. In the German New
Guinea territory He exists entirely
on the coconut. and sleeps on bed of
sand
Englehardt is singularly handsome
man of about thirty-five. possessing
great wealth and a charming person
ality. He is known as the Apostle of
the Coconut." on account of the doc
trine he teaches that the cocOnut Is
the original food of man, and should
continue to be so, as all other foods
are responsible for the bad passions
in the heart and mind Of man.
The Apostle" claims to have over
500 disciples in America. and now the
war Is over he intends to leave his
island home and come hack to the old
world and proclaim his teachings. He
is also a ''sun worshiper." living en-
tirelv in the open air. and adopting the
simple dress of the natives. consisting
merely of "Iava-lava," or loin cloth,
and when in full dress, that is. when
he receives visitors. This attire is COM
pleted by the addition of wrist watch
and a walking stick.

JELLYFIsH'S STING NO JOKE
Pest Known as Portuguese Man-of
War" is Dreaded by Bathers, for
Excellent Reasons.

The jellyfish has long been the sub
ject of mrth and Jest, but at times it
Is aggressive and formidable, and its
sting is a source of fear for bathers.
The sting of the southern Portuguese
5ellyf1sh, known technically as the No
meus. is very severe.
Jellyfish are found in the trade
wind belts of all oceans Each Pnr-
tuguese ''man-of-war." as the jellyfish
Is sometimes known. is made up of a
number of small animals of the Jelly
fish order, which have in common an
iridescent cOlored. bubble-Iike float,
about the size of a mans hand, which
rests on the surface Of the water. A
fin or sail enables the float to make
Roadway across the wind rather than
with It.. The jellyfish has long paper
like tentacles. and these are equipped
with the stings. When they. brush
against bathers they burn and leave
red weIts that itch and burn for hours,
and should two or three pass over
mans arm at once. they would almost
paraIyze 1t. Some years ago scientists
discovered little man-of-war fish that
accompanies the man-of-war jellyfish.
It swims around the float until danger
threatens. when it sneaks underneath
and is safe from harm under the pro-
lection Of the jellyflsh's tentacles.

gas day, and expects in the near fu-
ture to be able to supply 30.00O,OO0
