The year 1921 is before US
What we of this town and
community accomplish in the
next twelve months will depend
mainly upon us-upon the
manner in which we grasp the
opportunities that are open 10
Us.
There is no occasion for be-
coming alarmed over the pres
ent decline in commercial ac-
tivity. The country is under
going a period of readjust-
ment, which is quite necessary
and for the best. but the old
ship is not going TO hit the
rocks. or even cruise in dan
gcrous waters.
Europe charges us with be-
ing a nation of Commentaries,
and perhaps il is true-and to
our credit. Commentaries
are rather keen on annexing
the coin OF the republic. and
Of other countries, and are not
given to asking other people
20 support them in idleness.
Throughout the coming
year we should utilize our
commercial instinct to the full
est extent.
Our fertile soil is full Of
wealth and all that is requir-
ed is TO reach down and dig IL
out.
Our factories. and our mills,
and all of our varied enter
prises are capable Of vast pro-
duction of articles that are in
demand the world over.
We have more money than
ever before in our history. and
are able to finance any under

We have will power and the

The recent tightening up of bank credits through the
edct OF the Federal Reserve has brought up the almost
forgotten contention that automobiles luxures We
thought that this question had been forever settled but it
tits not so. 'r,.. .st ..-.
While 1T is undoubtedly wise that banks
should curta discounts to firms manufacturing luxuries
and nonnecessites to be better able TO for
industries which contribute to economic welfare,
where in all the philosophy of bank history do they find
data which would exclude automobiles from the latter

resident OF rural communities; ask your family doctors

There is element of justice for banks to
in the dscounng of paper taken payment of cars
but different from great many other industries the
class OF agents and representatives of motor cars have
higher percentage of financial rating and this should be
the criter ion to base judgment on.
There is objection to restrictions relative to the

MOTOR TRUCK NOW
FINDING NEW FIELDS
Exerting Big Influence on
Farms-vaIuabIe Asset
to Distribution.

"Truck development 10 still In Its
infancy" states Howard S. Aitemus.
OF the Altemus Motor Company,
clydesdale distributor In Washington.
while the motor truck has pushed
its way as a necessity into many lines
| of endeavor. there are stbl many
'helds where it's use at present is only
embryonic, and II Is forging ahead
into lines OF endeavor where It's util-
ity has not as yet been considered.
Probably there Is no place where
| the motor truck Is about to make IT.
SELF felt more. with almost revalu-
| tionary effect, than on the farm, The
difficulties incident to the transportA-
| tion and distribution OF perishable
! foodstuffs have long been the chief
hardship confronting the fruit and
vegetable farmer. Former Secretary
of Commerce Redheld has declared:
You might build up the railroads un-
til they are ten, tracks wide and NIL
the rivers with steamers. and still the
farmer would not be served The
matter OF distribution has become one
of the chief problems Of the agricul-
turist.
"A farmer twenty miles from town
using a motor truck is at no more dis
advantage than one within five miles
who depends on teams for his haul
ing. And, in addition. to hauling
fruits and vegetables. the trucks can
be utilized to bring the livestock and
dairy supplies to town, as well as
for work around the farm. A farmer
operating a truck Is, in point OF ease
of distribution and freedom from de-
terioriation of his product, much bet
ter off than one relying on other
forms Of transportation
mo great mechanical knowledge is
required to run the modern motor
truck. and the farmer can-in case of
Clydesdale-safely trust IL to the
hired hand, resting secure that the
mechanism cannot be so easily abused
owing to the use of the patented
Driver Under the Hood on all Clydes-
dales. a device which protects the
mechanism from the assaults Of the
inexperienced or careless driver"
