A steadily increasing number of
shippers are looking toward the mo
tortruck for the solution of their trans
portatiOn problems. Farmers are in
cluded in this category, and it may
therefore be well to point out, as the
result of actual experience of others,
the things they should consider in con-
nection with the use Of motOrtruckS
to haul their produce to market.
In very few instances, say experts
of the bureau of markets, United
States Department of Agriculture, is
it advisable for a farmer to purchase
and operate a mOtOrtruck solely for
his own needs, as the initial invest
ment, cost of upkeep, and the limited
time the truck is likely to be in use
make the venture expensive and dis
prOportionate to the convenience Sc
cured.
Where trucks are operated by pri-
vate individuals for profit the owner
of the truck usually operates between
certain points on fixed schedule. The
| farmer assumes no risk. He simply
may be, and may find the use of this
means of transportation an advantage
| over the railroad or over hauling his
| produce to market himself by team.
At the same time it has often occurred
! that when the farmer had learned to
depend upon this service, the rates
would be raised to a point that the
farmer could i'll afford to pay, or that
! another mOtOrtruck operator would en-
| ter the field with the result that both
operators were compelled to go out OF
business, leaving the farmer without
any truck service at ALL
One Successful Venture.
1t may be well to consider the basis
upon which a farmer may secure mo-
tortruck transportation at a nominal
cost and create a service upon which
he can place full reliance
There are several cooperative mo-
tOrtruck associations in existence, OF
which, perhaps, the Farmers CO-opera
tive company of Hartford county
Maryland, has had the largest measure
of success. The territory served by
the association is a very productive
agricultural region. Many of the farm
ers ship milk to Baltimore, some raise
truck crops and others practice gen
eral farming.
The association rates on many com
mOdities are decidedly lower thar
those of the railroad. The members
say that the saving of time in market
ing their produce is big advantage
also. For example, when the farmer!
hauled their produce to market b!
wagon they had to start out at mid
night and did not return home unit
nine o'clock the next morning. Now
at least eight hours of that time il
saved for other work.
But while the Hartford County com
pany has had considerable success, 4
conditions not been possible had thu
condition not been favorable for the
operation of a cooperative motortrucl
route. This fact should not be los

PART I-continued.

1t was, In sense, an original poem
though, like the greater number of all
literary offerings, it was so strongly
inspirational that the source of its
inspiration might easily become mani
fest to a cold-bloOded reader. Never
theless, to the poetess herself, as she
explained later In good faith, the words
just seemed to come to her-doubtless
with either genius or some form of
miracle involved; for sources of In
spiration are seldom recognized by in
spired writer's themselves. She had
not long ago been party to a musical
Sunday afternoon at her great-uncle
Joseph Atwater's house where Mr..
Clairdyce, that amiable and robust
baritone, sang some of his songs over
and over again, as long as the re-
quests for them held out. Florence's
poem may have begun to coagulate
within her then.

Herbert, frowning with the burden
of composition, sat at a table beyond
the official railing, and his partner was
engaged at the press, painfully setting
type. This latter person, whom Flor
ence for several months had named
not once otherwise than as THAT
nasty little Henry Rooter," was Of
strangely clean and smooth fair-haired
appearance, for his age. She looked
him over.
His profile was of a symmetry he
had not himself yet begun to appre-
ciate; his dress was scrupulous and
modish and though he YVES short
nothing outward about him explained
the more sinister of Florence's two
adjectives. Yet she had true occasion
for it, because on the day before she
began its long observance he had made
her uneasy lest an orange seed she
had swallowed should take root and
grow up within her to a size inevi-
tably fatal. Then, with her cousin
Herbert's stern assistance, Florence
had realized that her gullibility was
not to be expected in anybody over
seven years old, after which age such
legends are supposed to be encoun-
tered with the derision of experienced
people.
Her fastidiOusness aroused, she de-
cided that Henry Rooter had no busi-
ness to be talking about what would
happen to her insideS, anyhow; and so

ly proved him to be no gentleman.
And her opinion of him was still per-
fectly plain in her expression as she
made her present intrusion upon his
working hours. He seemed to re-
ciprocate.

you to keep out o. here?" he demand

oped the slightest form of greeting.
'Look at her, Herbertl She's back

"You get out O. here, Florence" !"
said Herbert, abandoning his task
with a look of pain. "How often we
haf to tell you we don't want you
around here when we're in our office
like this?'
For heavens sake" Henry Rooter
thought fit to add. "Can't you quit
running up and down our Office stairs
once in a while, long enough for US to
get our newspaper work done? Can't
you give us little peace?"
The pinkiness Of Florence's alter
ing complexion was justified; she had
not been near their old Office for four
days. She stated the fact with heat,

THE oRGANEsT

BY Florence Atwater
The organest was seated at his organ
in a church,
In some beautiful woods of maple and
birch.
He was very weary while he played upon
the keys,
But he was a great organest and always
played with ease,
When the soul is weary,
And the wind is dreary,

day at the organ,
Whether my name might be Fairchild or
Morgan,
would play music like vast amen.
The way it sounds in church of men.
Florence read her poem over seven
or eight times, the deepening pleasure
of her expression being evidence that
repetition failed to denLture this work,
but, on the contrary, enhanced an ap-
preciative surprise at its singular mer-
it. Finally she folded the sheet of
paper with a delicate carefulness un-
usual to her, and placed it in her
skirt pocket. Then she went down.
stairs and out into the back yard.
With thoughtful and determined eyes
she obliqued her gaze over the in
tervening fences to the repellent sky
line formed by the too-simple profile
Of her cousin Herbert's fathers sta
Bile. Her next action was straight
forward and anything but prudish; she
climbed the high board fences, one af-
ter the other, until she came to a
pause at the top of that whereOn the
two journalists had lately made them
selves so odiously impressive.
Before her, If she had but taken
note of them, were a lesson in history
and the markings of a profound transi-
tion in human evolution. Beside the
old frame stable was a little brick
garage, obviously put to the daily use
intended by its designer. Quite as OBJ
viously the stable was obsolete; any
body would have known from its out
side that there was no horse within

She sat upon the fence, her gaze un-
favorably, though wistfully, fixed upon
a sign of no special esthetic merit

THE NORTH END DAILY ORIOLE.

PROPREITORS.
SUBSCRIBE NOW Is CENTS.

The inconsistency of the word
"daily" did not trouble Florence more
over she had found no fault with
"Oriole" until the "Owners and Pro
preitors" had explained to her in the
plainest terms known to their vocabu-
laries that she was excluded from the
enterprise. Then, indeed, she had
been reciprocally explicit in regard,
not only to them and certain personal
characteristics of theirs which she
pointed out as fundamental, but in re-
gard to any newspaper which should
deliberately call itself an "Oriole."
The partners remained superior in
manner, though unable to conceal a
natural resentment; they had adopted
"Oriole," not out of sentiment for the
distant city of Baltimore, nor, indeed,
on account of any ornithologic inter-
est of their own, but as a relic from
GIN abandoned club, or secret society,
which they had previously contem-
plated forming, it's members to be
called 1.-THE Orioles" for no reason

talked of their plan at many meetings
throughout the summer, and when Her
bert's great-uncle, Mr. Joseph At

pected present of printing press, and
a newspaper consequently took the
place of the club, Herbert and Henry
still entertained an affection for their
former scheme and decided to perpet-
uate the name They were the more
sensitive to attack upon it by an ig-
uorant outsider and girl like Florence,
and her chance of ingratiating her
self with them, If that could be now
her intention, was not promising.
1t would be inaccurate to speak of
her as hoping to placate them, how
ever; her mood was inscrutable. She
descended from the fence with pro-
uounced inelegance, and, approaching
the old double doors of the carriage
house., which were open, paused to
listen. Sounds from above assured
her that the editors were editing-Or

him several times his Senate salary
last year. In fact, he is planning TO

the house went unpainted and tall
weeds grew in the front yard, where
thousands gathered around the front
porch last fall. Senator Harding had
to dig up several hundred dollars to
put in condition for occupancy dur
ing the campaign.
A shortage Of housing in Marion and
a reluctance to allow so much money
to remain tied up in an empty dwell
ing have prompted Mrs. Harding TO
cast about for a way to realize on the
investment. But senator Harding, and
his wife, too, hold the place in a deep
sentimental regard and maybe at the
last minute they will decide to keep

campaign.
