NEWLANDS PROJECT
PROMPT ON PAYMENT

Out of twenty-four Government ir-
rigation projects in the United States
the Newlands project in Nevada
stands third in promptness in max
ing payments due the Government,
the Sparks Tribune says.
According to statistics compiled
by the U. s. reclamation service, Or
land stands first with a record Of 100
per cent. the klamath Falls In Cal
ifornfa stands second and the New
lands project in Nevada, third.
On April 80 the Newlands project
payments due the Government
amounted to $506,4OO and there was
paid $4S4.400. or 96.6 per cent.
This statement is an index to the
standing of the Newlands project
and shows conclusively that 1t Is one
of the best investments that the Gov
eminent has made. With the pros
poets of a largely increased area due
to the installation Of the Spanish
Springs reservoir, it will not be many
years before the entire section In and
around Fallon-Fernley country and a
long way up the Wadsworth bench
will be producing ground.

HERE M THE BRIDE

There is something about this de-
licious month of June that gives the
average girl a yearning to lean over
a gas stove all the rest of her life.
No women a explain this, least
of all those who have been married
several years.
1t may be the excitement Of paying
up installments on furniture and pi-
amos and goldfish. There is, in fact.
no explanation of brides at all. They
just happen.
Some of them happen several
times. But the third Of fourth time
they get no sympathy.
Back in the last century an old
fashioned society editor invented the
phrase: 1.-THE presents were numer-
Gus and costly" They are still num-
erous. but 10-cent stores have been
invented since then.
Brides used to look forward to a
life sentence darning husbands
socks. Now they use stronger Ian
guage. The sock situation is grow
ing rapidly worse.
The organist plays Here comes
the bride" and all a certain party's
friends hum Here goes the groom
The happy event is on. Let us
cheer the youthful navigators on
their perilous voyage.
All the ladies will please weep.

ARMORED SPEED WAGON
IS PAYING INVESTMENT

The armored REQ speed wagon for
transporting currency. Vegetables and
valuable merchandise has now assumed
a definite place among bank accessories
and equipment" says George Stowe or
the REQ Motor Car Company OF New
York.
"Armored trucks are being accepted as
very necessary adjunct to banks In
large cities, and their popularity Is
reaching out to Isolated sections where
payroll money for mine and lumber
camps is transported through hazardous
wildernesses often beset by bandits.
Banks and express companies are
rapidly adopting armored speed wagons
not only for safety and security In trans
porting their valuables but because they
are a source of revenue as service TO
others at a charge.
"A Federal Reserve Bank official has
predicted that for the amount OF money
spent the armored truck will eventually
be considered the best paying invest
ment in banking institution. The case
is yet to be recorded where bandits have
even attacked these bullet proof
armored trucks. The metal sides are Inn
renetrable TO small arms and even the
windshield glass Is bullet proof.
For protection against loss of life.

nue. the armored truck is fast forcing

FIRST VELIE PRODUCED

The drst velie car was distinct sue

was one of the first TO have side On

ing carriages distinctly showed In the
fine upholstery and painting.
Some time ago the Velie factory
located the first car-model A No. 1. II
had passed through four ownerships. It
was brought back and is now at the
factory. proudly displayed In it's original
coat of paint. which still looks good.
The motor runs fine in fact, this iden-
tical car led municipal parade in
Moline not over two months ago.
Many OF tho 1909 Velie cars are even
now in daily service in various parts OF
the country. Velie started to build
quality into their very first car. They
advertised that fact. and have stayed by
the quality policy" without a waver
from that day to this. That Is the
reason why Velie IS here to-day stronger
than ever, with the finest car in its price
class.
No more compelling argument IN favor
Of the present model 5s could be offered
than that It is the latest creation OF a

building nothing but the best. So says

MOTOR TRANSPORT
NEEDS TRAINED MEN
Over One Billion Tons of
Freight Now Carried by
Truck.

Speaking before the students of Syra-
cuse University r. w. Fem, secretary
national motor truck committee Ma
tional Autor, bile Chamber OF Com
merce Of New York. pointed out THAI
careful estimates show that 1000 spec
tally trained men will be nesded In tho
next few years for service In the motor
transport business. particularly traffic
experts to be attached to State. county
and municipal organizations.
"The significance OF this need VIII be
readily appreciated whom II Is realized
that over 1.43o, 100000 tons OF freight,
including 134,4oo,ooo tons of farm prod
ucts, are now carried over our highways
every year." remarked Mr.. Fem In the
course Of his address.
Tho reason for these increased de-
mands on highway transport Is that
shippers in general are beginning to ap-
preciate the fact that I'm proportion as
they relieve the railroads OF less than
carload shipments will the railroads be
able to render them more efficient and
cheaper service on their long haul con-
signments.
For there has come about pretty gen.
erai agreement among railroad officials
that truck transportation can be sub
stituted for railroad operation in short
branch line service. in trap car work
and IN terminal and suburban distriou-
ton.
I'm Cincinnati alone the use Of
trucks in the Interchange OF freight be-
tween the railroads there has resulted In
the elimination of 100000 switching
cuts. the release OF over $1,000 freight
cars and the advancement of the rail-
road freight movement fifty-two hours.
"All this work incident TO the realIgn.
ment OF transportation facilities to meet
the new demands of commerce IL going
TO need young men who have had train
ing In railway and motor truck econom-
ics and operating principles. In short,
the university man OF to-day Is chal
ienged to prepare himself for a new
type OF transportation service that is
not only going TO mean relief TO the
railroads but prosperity 20 our country"
