Charles n. Pardoe Points Out
How Motor on Highways Has
Aided Prosperity.

Transportation today Is the foun-

Charles II. Pardoe. local. distributor
Of made-in-C Chicago Master trucks
The growth of cities has pushed
the producer many miles back from
his market. and mine and other
sources of raw material are so
segregated that industrial develop

railroads and highways-the latter
received the least attention until
the motor truck stepped In and sup
piled for the highways what the
steam engine did for the railroads
and waterways-rapid transit. Mo
tor trucks have brought us into a
new era of transportation-tha of
carrying goods over the Highways
just as economically justified and
just as sure of steady development
as the ships and railroads were in
their early stages. The growth Of
motor truCk highway transport IN
dicates that this method of trans
portation serves field that Is not
satisfactorily served by any means
OF transportation.
The field of the motor truck is an
indispensable supplement- to the rail
roads and steamship lines rather than
competitor. and II Is only ma tier
of time until motor trucks will en-
tirely take over those forms OF trans
portation that arc improbable and
those that congest the terminals and
create a shortage of freight cars for
long-haul shipments.
THE potentialities of the motor
truck have much to ofYer toward in
creased prosperity in this country.
They create wealth by increasing land
values and lower prices by establish
ing more direct connections between
the farmer and his market. They give
market outlet to food supplies
hitherto unavailable and open up pro-
ductive regions that never have been
touched because OF their distance from
markets and lack of transportation
facilities Increased use of motor
trucks will rebound to the beneit of
the railroads and waterways because

Certain Il 10 that II all walt until
the spring to get their cars over

Another objection to delay not to
be overlooked is that In the spring
coming through from the factories and
the service stations OF the dealers
handling these are going TO be very
busy putting these new cars In
readiness for their owners. Naturally
this work will take precedence over
all other work, as the dealers will be
anxious to turn the cars over TO their
purchasers and get their money. The

AS TO CAUSES OF EPIDEMICS

In a report issued recently by the
English ministry Of health on the in
fluenza epidemic of 1913 admission is
made that &" the cause of the disease
is a problem which still remains un-
solved" The conditions which make it
possible in epidemic form, however
lie primarily in social disturbance and
wide dislocation of ordinary life.
"a great pestilence, such as the in
Huenza or pneumonia plague" says
the report, sis dependent upon disturb
ance of the social order, involving for
large numbers of human beings the
endurance of conditions of insalubrity
which afford for invading parasites
a suitable field of modification. So
soon as the new properties have been
stabilized no barrier against the pan
demic or epidemic extension will avail,
nor will those individuals or nations
that have not suffered the primary
evils be more resistant to the disease
than their fellows"
Like economic disease, cultural dis
ease, normal disease and all the other
diseases that afflict society in epidem-
ID or pandemic form thisvery physiolo-
gicsl disease finds it's breeding place
in the disturbed and distressed sec
tons Of society. and there finds also
momentum and power to leap across
all barriers into other AID soHnder Sec
lions of society For generation to
come, says the report, that type of
misery will exist in certain sections
OF humanity that will be the appro-
pirate breeding place for this violent
and dispersive germ. There is a les
son. physical. economic and moral, in
that medical deduction. - Chicago

AGED MAINE FARMERS

Farmers in % towns of Maine, &C
cording to recent survey, show an
average age of 70 years. You might
think this high average indicates
merely the wonderful healthfulness of
agriculture as a calling. There are
those, however, who interpret the sta
tistics as proving that almost no
young people are taking up the farms
which their parents have cultivated.
One wonders just what New England
agriculture will be like 20 years hence
when the average age of the farmers
is 80 years.-Lowell Courier-Cit zen.

COME OUT OF IT

Prices are dropping. Merchants
are making the most of their losses.
Stockmen have taken theirs and are
beginning to- forget and buy cattle
again. Farmers are putting their loss
es in longtime obligations, bankers
are charging off bad paper. The
world, inside it's Offices and in it's
houses and in the fields and at work,
is forgetting the nightmare of 1920.
It is impossible that depression shall
last. After all, life must be normal.
The depression has lasted long
enough. The thing to do is to come
out of it. What if some of us are
'broke?' What if some of us have
changed places with our office boys?
What if some of us have lost a lot of
money? These things have happened
in the world before and the world
has gone right on. 1t will continue to
go right on in the face of all the trag-
edy that came into the world in 1920
as it went on in the face of the deep
er tragedies that cursed mankind
from 1914 to 1918.
The thing to do now is to spit
on ones hand and to begin life anew.
It is the same good old world that it
always was. Opportunities for MAX
ing money and making happiness are
here as they always have been and
always will be. The chance for use

has been.
In the readjustment we will find
a new world. Wages will be higher
than they were before the war but
not as high as they were last year,
though high enough so that labor
will enjoy the full fruits Of the civili-
zation which it is building. Farm pro-
ducts will not be so high as they were
during the war but they will be high
enough to make a good living for the
farmer and let him send his sons and
daughters to high school and college
and pay off the mortgage that he put
on last year and still get something
ahead. The storekeeper will come
into his own and the new automobiles
will keep crowding the streets of
every country town ia America and
the people will wear good clothes and
eat good food and build good houses
just the same as if the war never had
happened and the panic Of 1920 new
er had occurred.
The thing that is needed now
mostly, is for every human being
to catch himself by the forehead and
the chm and telescope his face. It
is just as easy to be cheerful and
grin as it is to sigh and wall. The
world is wagging on, and the man who
gets aboard the old world at the new
gait is the man who is going to be
happy and make the most in the
long run

it costs many thousands to- run the
machinery of the state, the most of
the expense for any taxable unit is at
home. Take the city of Baraboo, as
an example, and study the following
figures:
State taxes -------------$12,29O IA
County taxes --------- 30,39524
City taxes --------------195,24 5.77
It will be seen by the above figures
the cost of running the city and
county is about twenty times the
amount paid by the city to the state.
(The above for the city is not exact
since the city raises all it can by the
levy, pays the state and county the
two amounts mentioned above, then
takes the rest to use for the local
machinery. Special assessments vary.)
Part also comes back as state aid.
1t will be seen by the above the
bulk of the taxes for any particular
town, village or city is for expenses
of the town, village or city. While
the state taxes are much more than
in former years they are not the whole
burden, by any means.
AS to the county the following fig
ures as.to taxes may be interesting:
State tax ---------- $120,598.75
Special state tax ----- 5,61OO3
School loans --- 8,02986
County school tax 1885, 34,14390
Soldiers relief --- 3,388.80
