Motor Truck,
Has
Banner Year

Despite depressed business condi-
tions, the motor truck industry in
1920 not only equaled the 1919 pro-
duction of motor trucks but ex-
ceeded it by $4,000 vehicles. civ
ing total 1920 production Of 34S.-
90 trucks.
Perhaps the greatest single fac
tor in making the 1920 production
OF trucks greater than that of 1919
was the tremendous increase in
the manufacture of small speed
trucks of three-quarter to one ton
capacity. In previous years trucks
Of one-ton capacity and under gen
orally did not exceed 60 per cent Of
the total production, bat in 1920
almost rs percent of ali the trucks
made were of one-ton capacity.
According to an analysis made
by the Commercial Vehicle in its
review issue of January /, 1y21, the
average prices of all different sizes
of trucks have increased only Sc
per cent up to January /, 1920.
Taking the different sizes of trucks
separately, those of less than one
half ton in capacity nave Increased
most in price. Trucks of less than
one-half- ton capacity have Jump
ed rs percent in price, three-quar-
ter tonners have increase ~ per
cent, one-tonners 10k percent and
one-and-one-half tonners 1913 per
cent. Trucks of from two tons ca
pacity UP have increased individu-
ally anywhere from one tenth of 1
percent to 72 percent, those low
individual price increases helping
bring down the total average price
to the figure of SSla per cent, as
gi''eT above.
According to the same authority,
trucks of one and half tons capa-
city form the most popular model,
no less than one hundcel mod, Is,

of 527 trucks listed on the 192t
market, being of one and half

investigation found that the check
was worthless. tombstone was lodged

NEW COMMUNITY HALL
DEDICATED NORTH OF
BIG SPRINGS FRIDAY
BY G. II. AUSTIN

1t has been long time since l have
attended an entertainment and social
affair that l more heartily enjoyed
than the one attended by Mr.. and Mrs.
w. J. Mccoy, Mrs. Austin and myself
at the new Community building zine
miles northwest of Big Springs last
Friday evening. November 4th.
There were two reasons for my spe-
cial enjoyment on this occasion.
First. The program was doubly ap-
propriate in that it dedicated the new
Community Hall and at the same time
carried out the spirit of Halloween.
The various numbers, musical, dia-
logue and recitations were all thor
oughly enjoyed and appreciated as
was evidenced by the hearty applause
and was certainly the result of lot
of well organized thought and work
on the part of the committee having
charge. The two dedicatory songs
were more than fitting, well gotten up
and well rendered. The Happy Hour
Club indicated in their song that the
big essential in putting over things
was the work and stick -tuativeness,
while the men emphasized harmony
necessary in carrying out things we'll
worth while.
To say that this community showed
evidence of unusual talent would be
putting it mildly.
Second. The second reason for my
special pleasure in attending this
meeting was that, here nine miles

between the S. c. H. S. and American
Legion teams.
Immediately following the foot ball
games there will be patriotic pro-
gram at the Sedgwick County High
School, this program consisting of
speaking, singing and special patri-
otic ceremonies. Patriotic speeches
will be made by l. L. Quiat, of Den
yer; Rev. E. V. Kuhns and Rev. A. J.
Waller of this city. Rev. B. H. Schrad-
er will lead the singing, and B. d.
Parker, Jr., will be in charge of the
program. Don't fail to attend.
At seven o'clock in the evening the
American Legion will stage a sham
battle and fireworks on the vacant
lots across from the Hippodrome
theatre, and this promises to be a
very interesting feature. Following
the sham battle will be the American
Legion entertainment at the Hippo
drome theatre, commencing at 7:45
P. M. Members of the American Le-
gion will present the musical comedy,
"Sittin' Pretty" with full orchestra.
This entertainment depicts the life of
the Doughboys at the front, enjoying
few hours recreation at Y. M. C.
A. hut. Many humorous incidents oc-
cur. Seats are now on sale.
Following the entertainment at the
Hippodrome theatre there will be a
big dance at loves hall under the
auspices of the American Legion.
Gates orchestra will furnish music
for this occasion.
A cordial invitation is extended to
the people Of this section to come to
Julesburg Friday and join in the Ar
mistice Day celebration.
All American Legion and ex-service
men are requested to wear their uni
forms Armistice Day and everybody
is asked to hang out the American
flag-everybody decorate, and make
our town take on gala and patriotic
appearance. Let's see to it that the

red-blooded Americans in this COM
