co-operatlve COORDINATION

The real problem confronting those
interested in tick eradication in Lou
isiana is to get the different factors
in the project working together har
moniously,, to coordinate them. Po-
lice juries, law enforcemnt officials,
the inspectors and the cattle owners
must all work together zen srapport"
in order that eradication can be ac-
complished in the least possible time
and with the least possible expense.
II any one Of these factors is out Of
tune, or not properly functiOning,
then the task OF tick eradication is
unnecessarily prolonged and the cost
climbs higher and higher In some
of the parishes the inspection force
has been at fault, in others-the po-
lice jury, while in others the courts
have failed to function, and in all
some Of the fault can be traced to
some OF the cattle owners failin to do
their part Of the work. Louisiana

TRUCK AS AN ASSET
FOR TRANSPORTATION

Significant as to what part of the
motor truck may be called on to play
in the nations transportation pro-
blem, at least in short haul transpOrta
toin, is the trip just made by the
Goodyear six wheel truck between
San Francisco and Los Angeles.
The trip Of AZ miles was made in
IA hours and 40 minutes, or at an
average speed uphill and down Of 90
miles per hour. Five tons Of freight
we're carried, mostly tires, tubes and
accessories.
The best previous time for the dis
lance was made by 8 IL ton truck
which averaged b speed OF "a miles
per hour.
The Southern Pacific railroad, over
slightly longer route. makes the
same trip by fast passenger train in II
hours and 50 minutes. The six wheel
er's trip was made over the inside
Or sridge" road, Va bakersfield and
Frenso, rather than the beach road
which is comparatively level. The
truck had to climb to height OF
100 feet in the first ~ miles, dropped
to 1900 fet in the next seven, then in
the next forty miles had to make an
ascent to 1880 feet above the sea
level.
| To get comparative idea of the
significance Of this trip, 1t can be
stated that the trip from Ney York
to Pittsburg, which is approximately
the same distance, can be made by
a fast passenger train in ten hours
and 30 minutes.
From New York to Montreal which
is 4SO miles by rail, takes II hours

this law but that is necessary to
economically complete the work.
There is a sensible, sane and safe
solution to every problem Of tick
eradication and it is necessary for
all those interested to find this soll-
ton and to arrive at an agreement at
the earliest possible time in order
that the work can be accomplished
satisfactorily, economically, therefor
speedily, as well as timely for all
concerned. The end OF the fourth
year in tier eradication in many OF
our parishes is drawing to close and
in all parishes of the state funds will
have to be available for part OF
another year at least, before the "a
nal goal is reached, that is complete
tick eradication. From this any one
can easily see that what ais the tick

cooperative coordination. That spirit

Dollar Day Brings
Floof of Business
to Local Merchants

"The most successful special sales
day we ever featured" is the way
different of the Great Falls stores
which offered Dollar Day bargains
last Thursday referred Friday to the
result of the event.. Grocery stores
had the most favorable reports to
make, but all merchants who par
ticipated stated that sales were
greatly stimulated by the offerings.
At one of the larger stores the
delivery force worked late Thurs
day night in an attempt to fill the
orders, but it was stated at the
store Friday afternoon that the
last deliveries would not be made
until late in the evening. The
management declared that everyone
disIiked answering the telephone for
some housewife was certain to ask
when her purchase would be de-
livered.
Dollar Day has been featured
by Great Falls merchants semi-an-
uaIIy for the last three years. In
Portland two weeks ago, special
detail of traffic policemen was call
cd out to handle a Dollar Day
crowd.
