 SWAC RECOVERED


 DENVER, Colo, Feb. 5.-Orville skilled mint worker, who has been in the employ of the Government mint for a number of years, was placed under arrest here this morning, charged with the theft of gold bullion valued at more than s1O0,OOO.

 Small quantities of the bullion were stolen from time to time, the thefts covering a period of several years, and so cleverly executed as to escape detection until recently, when an investigation was started.

4 RICH POTENTIAL MARKET

Any analysis Of farm truck potcn-
tialitics must contemplate the buy
ing power OF the farmer. Agricu!-
turai production in 1919 was $2j.-
00O.000,000. an increase of SIS per
cent over that OF 1880. Corn alone
in 1919 was worth $1,000. 900 900.

toes $4,000, o00-both minor crops
Poultry products amounted to ST.

already made in land. machinery,
buildings, equipment, etc.
Based on information furnished by
the Department Of Agriculture show
ing the relative difference between
what the farmer has received for
what he has produced. and what he
has paid for thai which he has
bought, some interesting data is
available regarding what The farmer
has done with the money he has re-
ceiyed during the past four or FIVE
years. Taking the period from 1909
to 1913 as the basis of 100. land val

A BIC MARKET
FOR FARM TRUCKS

with only about 100000 men ac-
iually filling the soil so as TO pro-
ducc food for about lie. 900, 900 peo-
pie, ii is a sure bet that the contin-
uance Of this condition will not help
TO bring down the cost of food prices.
Furthermore. unless more peopl" re-
turn to the farms the farmer will be
forced to increase his cost of produc-
alone solve The farmers problems.
What he needs most of all is efficient
transportation.
The investigation shows that there
is potential market for 500, 900
trucks. and this is in the farm field
alone. With such conditions con-
fronting the dealer we certainly ca m
not sec why there need be any cause
for alarm over the future OF The
motor truck industry. The farm
market is ono which cannot, how
ever. be sold by waiting for the
farmer TO call on the dealer. The
farmer is n busy man these days.
especially when nc hasn't enough
help. The salesman must meet the
farmer more Than half way He must
go out with his truck and help the
farmer load up. and run the goods to
market One such real demonstra-
tion will do more TO sell the farmer
than all the circulars and printed
matter that the farmer could read in
q lifetime.
However. il must not hn taken for
granted tina; every farmer needs a
demonstration In many cases the
farmer is forced 10 buy simply he
cause he cannot hope TO compete with
his ncishbor or the surrounding farm
ers unless he has some way in which
10 get his products to market stimuli
tahcously with the other fellows.
Everything must be done to sell the
farmers motor trucks. so that moth
ing will stand in the way of getting
MS products to market. Otherwise
his buying power will be reduced.
and when his buying power is cur
tailed. every business is affected
