Mr.. Hayes connection with Repub
lie is one of the most interesting thus
far recorded, because he joined the
Company three months after it was
formed, seven years ago, and is now
the Oldest veteran in point of con-
tinuous service with the organization.
During his seven years connection
with Republic Mr.. Hayes successive
ly served in a number Of important
managerial and executive positions,
including those Of Purchasing Agent,
Factory Manager, Production Man
ager Of Military Plant, and Vice
President.
Beginning with the Company in
1914, and with prior mechanical ex-
perience, he rose, through hard work
and Jealous application, to the posi-
ton of Purchasing Agent which he
filled with marked success for three
years. With the expansion of the
Company's manufacturing and sales
activities, Mr.. Hayes was appointed
in 1917 Factory Manager in charge
Of production and proved an efficient
executive in handling the complex
production problems which developed
with the phenomenally rapid growth
Of the Company as motor truck
manufacturer. His experience in
managing the Republic production
plant during that period, proved of
great value to the Company when it
was called upon to furnish a large
volume Of Army Trucks for the Gov
eminent during the War.
Mr. Hayes work during that per-
iod proved his unusual ability as Pro-
duction Manager and enabled Repub-
lie to furnish its quota Of Army
Trucks without interrupting a stead
lily growing schedule of manufacture
for commercial purposes. Hayes con-
tinued in active management Of the
specially built Republic Military
Plant until the end Of the War, as
Stunning full responsibility for its
production until the Company's Gov
eminent contract was fulfilled. All
details connected with Republic pro
duction Of Military Trucks were I'M
ger hayes personal CltetblOl ana
great credit is due him for meeting
the urgent requirements OF the period
by untiring and intelligently applied
service.
After the War, Mr.. Hayes was
elected End Vice President Of the Re-
public Company, in full charge Of
Engineering, Material Procurement
and Manufacturing. During his re-
gime in the manufacturing end Of the
business, the Company's production
facilities have been steadily adj
vanced TO their present high standard
Of efficiency. Hayes thorough famil-
iarity with general automotive man
ufacturing problems, makes him an
important factor and a valuable aid
TO Colonel Smith in the further de-
velopment Of the Company's plans
and its facilities for the production
and distribution of Republic Motor
Trucks, which, incidentally, is at
present, and has for many years
been, the largest OF any exclusive
Truck Manufacturer in the World

occurred eight years after the warm

late as 1870 and again in 1885. The
coolest april was in 1874, and many

The coolest August occurred 81 years

Farmers Dollar ConValescent

Probably farmers of this county

better times for agriculture, except
in the growing strength of farmers
cooperative enterprises.
But the first ray of hope has ap-

of convalescence are beginning to

the price records for farm products,

labor statistics, show prices of farm
crops going up. The grain is slight

that united support for cooperative
marketing enterprises, eliminating
waste and useless duplication in mar
keting, will bring farm crop prices
back into their proper relation to
prices of other commodities.

April were 81 percent higher than

"These figures show that in May,
